THE HYMN OF ETERNITY
There are eight billion people inside this balloon of energy we call the universe. Yet there is no consensus on what energy actually is, or where it comes from.
Energy comes from Eternity and returns to Eternity at the speed of thinking; the speed of gravity.
Thinking is movement of the same thought lost within its own thinking, unaware that the entire universe is disappearing iand re-appearing at the speed of gravity.
The sum of thinking keeps the eternal circle from closing - an event that is happening anyway, - no matter how we choose to think.
Newton and Planck figured this out but the sum of thinking steers its own ship into open water.
The circle must not be allowed to close.
This is the song of humanity.
