We have recently received (within the last century) a new tool for visualizing objective reality. It’s called “the Big Bang theory.” Everyone has heard of it of course, however, by viewing some of its basic features and then cross-referencing it with the metaphysical idea that all reality is a manifestation of "consciousness," I think we can get a better picture of a higher truth.

Always keep in mind that the Big Bang theory is a purely "materialistic" vision of reality and, like the separate religions of the world, is just one piece of the grand puzzle.

The following is a thought experiment based on the “alleged” Big Bang scenario.

The materialists (astrophysicists) describe the beginning of reality as an event that occurred approximately 13.7 billion years ago when everything of the universe was literally crushed into an infinitely dense, and infinitesimally small "point particle" that subsequently exploded to eventually form suns, planets, oceans, fish, birds, plants, puppies, kittens, humans, etc. (and from whence the “particle” came they haven't a clue).

Let's imagine that beginning for a moment.

At that initial fiery explosion, the very first thing to extend off the event would be light. An ever-expanding "bubble" of light would have extended in all directions away from the genesis point and would be moving into what can only be thought of as some kind of void or "nothingness" giving way to the expansion.

Because light is the fastest moving aspect of physical reality, everything else of this explosion would be contained "within" the bubble of light. Indeed, nothing that we call "reality" (physical matter) can ever move past the boundary of the light bubble (refer to our smart uncle Albert on that subject). And where the expanding bubble of light has not yet reached into the "nothingness," should be thought of as the cut-off point of the universe itself, where nothing exists on the outside of the bubble.

So according to this materialistic vision, everything that we call "reality" (including us) is contained "within" the bubble of light – a bubble whose film literally delineates the outer shape and boundary of the totality of the universe itself.

Simply stated, as seen from the fundamental perspective of astrophysics, the universe is a closed "bubble" of reality, suspended in an infinite ocean of nothingness, all beginning from an infinitesimal genesis point.

Now fast forward to the present.

Here we are, sitting in front of our computer monitors on this incredible orb of reality, flying around a star in a state of physical order that staggers the mind, and all taking place “inside” the closed bubble of light.

Now there are thousands of us in this forum situated all over the planet. With that in mind, pick a direction in space (any direction) and with your imagination, move through the roof of your home and off the surface of the orb, out past the planets of the solar system, past the field of stars comprising the Milky Way galaxy, further past the vast field of other galaxies forming the material contents of the universe, until reaching the aforementioned light barrier bubble that literally encases all reality as we know it. Now with one more little thrust of your imagination, move to the other side of the barrier...
