And now for something completely different...

There is no Space or Time, only Change and the Interval(s) between changes.

Time is a convention we use to keep our experiences in a comprehensible order. We have developed concepts, like Past, Present, and Future, putting our experiences in a linear framework so we can function. But, these are only concepts. Time is an illusion. We are perpetually operating in the pivot point between Past and Future, so truly there is only the Present. We only really exist in the Now, always.

I suspect that Space, as in distance, works similarly. We only percieve a There. In truth, there is only Here. So we are really only functioning in a perpetual Here and Now. This is Einstein's relativity to the max.

For example: When you walk across a room, are you really moving across a distance? How far exactly? What direction? And how long does it really take? Remember that you are walking across a room in a building on the surface of the Earth which is rotating and revolving around the Sun which is rotating and revolving our solar sytem around in a galaxy which is rotating... and so on.

Where is Here and There really? You are where you are and that is always Here and always relative to everywhere else which is always changing, so there really is no There.

I further believe that our concepts of Matter and Energy are illusions. I believe there is only Energy and that Matter is simply a flavor of it, divided out as something different only because we perceive it that way. Perhaps what we think of as Energy is actually the dynamic (changing) behavior of Energy, while Matter is the more static (unchanging) behavior of Energy. Although on a universal level, Change is continuous. Nothing is ever really static.

The way I see it, the universe is not a vaccuum with dots of matter like stars and planets. The universe is full, always. It is full of energy manifesting in infinite variety, some of which we perceive as stars, planets, people, creatures, sound, scent, taste, thoughts, feelings, grains of sand, electrical current, magnetism, a breeze, sunlight, or the 'emptiness' of outer space.

I don't think the energy moves around. I think it simply changes. I think Einstein was right about Action and Reaction. I think this occurs in infinite ways throughout the universe and we only perceive a small part of this activity. We choose to do so while we play around with living these lives and having our experiences.

We are, ultimately, energy. We are segments of one singular energy which is all things, and all no-things, always. We are infinitely diversified portions of one whole which is the energy or life spirit of the entire universe. We are perpetually changing, experiencing, exploring, seeming to be separate but always interacting, seeming to be isolated pieces but comprising the whole. We are One. We are ourselves, but by being so we are also All That Is. We are collectively everything and, by gestalt, more than that.

We are manifestations of THE Energy which some have called God. But we are not subservient to it. We are not hierarchically inferior to it. We are it. It is only individual perception which makes it seem that we're separated out or that we're somehow underlings. Some of us choose to regard ourselves at varying levels in comparision to the All, to God, to the universe. However, nothing can be separated from infinity and the differences we are so quick to judge are merely diversity.

And our point of power, the place and time from which we express ourselves as energy... is Here and Now, always.

Previous change is part of who we are. We cannot re-change those changes. In effect, they no longer exist, for we are in the perpetual Here and Now. But, from where we are, from the Here and Now, we can effect what we perceive as Future.

This power may seem beyond our comprehension but it is well within our grasp. Moment to moment, we are as powerful as God, as the universe, because we participate in the whole of All That Is with every action and reaction. Yes, this may seem like a huge weight of responsibility, but at the same time, it is monumental freedom.
