The Universe as We Have NEVER Seen It

Can you see the universe as not being in a container? Nothing contains it. There is no "box." The universe has no "wall," no seam, no bottom, no top, no sides. There is no "end-to-end." There is no such thing as a beginning and an end.

Although the earth is hardly a speck, truly even the largest galaxie, or a system of galaxies, is hardly a speck in a universe that has no end. There is nothing so large it can "crowd." There is no crowding in the universe. Everything fits in because there is no such thing as "no room."

The earth being so small and the galaxies being so large...has no consequence in the universe that is endless.

The idea of a "parallel universe" is because we think there must be something else. The universe must end. So what else is there after the "border" of the universe? There is no "border," no sides, no end. That wipes out any idea of a parallel universe. It isn't that there's no room; it can't exist. The universe is endless. It is just endless. "Parallel" is just our weakness of not understanding "endless."

Still mindboggling, is the amazing "element" of "unique." All of the elements which we know of are unique. They are the same and unchanging in the endless universe. Everywhere in the universe, oxygen or helium is the same. The elements never change. Oxygen is not something else a billion light years from here on earth.

So, we have "unique." Each element is its own fingerprint, and even its own blueprint. It has its own structure and its own discipline of "being." Oxygen is not alive, it just is. How can something inert, without life, "be?" That is absolutely fascinating.

More fascinating are all of the elements, and those which are yet undiscovered. They are not life...not at all, yet they "are." The elements can't evolve to "life," yet, they "are." Everything you see is made up of the single, unique, elements. The stars that you see, any galaxies you see, are made up of these same, unchanging, unique, elements. They have absolutely no life, yet they exist: they "are." This is a "unique" wonder in itself.
