I am a strong enthusiast of words. I want to shift your mind toward conceptualizing fresh new concepts on how you perceive your world. I wish for you to bask in the same euphoric bliss that fills me upon procuring this vision.
The human imagination is perplexing. It’s gratifying to imagine something before creation. And then to go forth and create it, whether as or more successful as we expected, is veritably one of the prodigious abilities we have as human beings.
It wasn’t until recently my feeble mind grasped a breathtaking new idea of how to see my world every day. I'll do my best to describe this experience with words, but I feel the best way to visualize it is by imagining an LSD trip.
I call this idea “The Qualic Flux Model.”
This idea bridges the gaps between everything you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell.
This idea aims to define our subjective experience.
In simpler terms, you are the Universe.
But truly, it’s not that simple.
Qualia (/ˈkwɑːliə/ or /ˈkweɪliə/; singular form: quale) are the conscious qualitative features present in every conscious experience.
Now it's important to remember that Qualia does not truly represent anything physical or even neurological throughout this observation. It is impalpable. It’s purely about the experience within the soul, beyond our capacity to measure with neuroscience. It has nothing to do with your pituitary gland or hypothalamus because it's all about your inner experience.
Can you smell your thoughts?
That could help you grasp the concept.
Now the easiest way to compress the complexity of this idea is to imagine the entire experience of you eating a piece of chocolate. The mission is to understand this has positively nothing to do with you, Billy Bob, craving chocolate. Instead, you must analyze the entire process from start to finish. I'll break down this process below chronologically:
The Universe begins.
The Earth is created.
The Earth creates Rain.
Rain Creates Cacao Beans.
Human beings learn to harvest Cocoa Beans.
Human beings learn to make Hershey's Chocolate with Cacao Beans.
Humans sell Hershey’s Chocolate to Billy Bob.
Billy Bob eats Hershey's Chocolate.
Billy Bob feels happy (Well, most of us do - Dark Chocolate is proven to be very healthy for you if you have something against chocolate)
Billy Bob dies (Hopefully not from Diabetes - you fat f***)
Be aware of the elaborate molecular processes between these steps, but let’s not fall into that rabbit hole.
The vital thing to acknowledge is that you weren’t the conception. So are you legitimately the singleton wanting chocolate? Or has the universe conducted this entire experiment autonomously, seeking to merge all its efforts into one grand event — a delicious gluttony of experiences?
Are you eating the Hersheys? Or is the Universe eating itself?
Who are you to say?
After all, the Universe did create you. Didn’t it?
And the Universe created me to tell itself something.
What a mind-f***!
Before marrying an idea, I hope you can first realize the beauty and magnificence behind this concept. Now, you can detach yourself from your ego and realize that every single event in your life, along with the connections between them, other people, and the atoms around you, are an innovation of the universe. The cycle of life and death is its way of generating fresh experiences.
It does this because it can.
It does this because it will.
Expanding on this idea, I'd like to draw a parallel between a table and the human race.
Imagine that every single atom comprising a table is a conscious being. Who's to say it isn’t? Why must something with eyes, ears, and a nose be the only thing capable of experiencing “consciousness”? Consciousness is merely a word conceived by humans to describe the distinction between them and the animals they eat.
We assume we're more divine than animals due to our level of “self-awareness.” Don’t you think a butterfly is “self-aware” as it flies away, oblivious to how short its life will be? Don’t you think a dog is aware of the stinky ass farts you rip on the couch?
Then why can’t an atom be self-aware? Why can’t we treat the atoms around us as sentient beings who are clearly operating on their own standards? Are we capable of grasping why a table decides to be a table? Of course, we craft the table out of wood, but the wood is made of atoms. The tools we use to shape the wood and nails are made of atoms.
Everything is made of atoms.
It doesn’t matter how many levels deep we go into the quantum realm.
Everything exists because it simply wants to.
Atoms are atoms because they want to be (along with all subatomic particles that make up elements on the periodic table).
The fact they choose to serve us in every way they do, despite our nuclear methods of manipulation, is shocking.
The comparison I want you to see is how every single atom that makes up the table is comparable to every single soul that makes up the human race.
So, think of the table as the human race.
Now, take a step further and see that every planet is like a soul within the universe.
This must mean the universe is only a building block to what we can conceive as the Infiniverse.
There are fractal patterns hidden within every layer of our existence. Once we realize we’re all part of this 7-layer bean dip — only then can we experience the Universal Mind. (See Ch. II - The Universal Mind)
You are everything.
Everything is you.
I imagine a world that one day conceptualizes the human race as only a tiny gear within an even greater engine of consciousness. Then, we can seize our factions between other humans, animals, and our environment to realize we are one.
We are not merely the “human race.”
We are the Universe.
We are the anomaly.
