“Let’s go back in time. Way back. Before there was even a ‘you’. Good. Now further back. Before there were mountains. Right. Now before there were oceans. Cool. Now before there were planets. Bravo. Now before there was time and space. Wow.
What’s left?
Right, there was only me, Universal awareness. And what is awareness, but thought?
Love it.
So, if where there was only ‘thought,’ there are now suns and moons and planets. Mountains and rivers and oceans. People and places and pets. What must they all be made of?
Right.
And look who’s thinking now… You? You are thinking now? Are you sure? But if ‘where’ there was only me there’s now you, who must you really be?
Nice roots. (signed) The Universe” (Notes from the Universe, Mike Dooley, 5.24.17)
