beyond this universe

a few years ago the science guys told us we can only ‘see’ 4% of what we think of as The Universe

by seeing, they meant not only with optical telescopes, but also through our interpretations of data collected by radio telescopes, electronic telescopes, satellites, at x-rays levels, at ultraviolet levels – way more than we can see with human eyes; that slice is probably about 0.002% of the known universe; the other 3.998% is scientific data; put it all together, process in a computer with sophisticated graphics programs, and you get pretty pictures

meanwhile, shaman etc. have always taught there are more realities than the physical world humans see; Buddha taught that reality is an illusion – we create our own individual, and thus unique, realities, so we can change our reality by changing our mind; Aleister Crowley defined magic as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will”

the recently popular concept of some kind of ‘multiverse’ is an interesting metaphor/myth that doesn’t even come close to describing the cosmic zoom

now, scientists have stirred things by suggesting our universe may exist within another context, i.e. there may be something outside The Universe

imagine that! it’s easy; shaman have been doing it for millenia

more next time

Blessed Be
