Call it what you will but not many religions even come close to explaining it, and they are very wrong in assuming they know the will of such a consciousness. They know nothing of it, exept that a super-consciousness does exist. Don't be decieved by religion, it's merely the making of man, not super-consciousness. I'm not making any assumptions about you, I just hope you can think with a wider scope and not be a victim to the grasp of religion.

To me, this super consciousness is God and we are all of this super consciousness and are essentially the super consciousness itself, but seperated through time perhaps.
Precisely. Reality has no rules, we set the rules but that's another story. I have a paper on manipulation of reality with the mind, you just need to look, and you will see that we do it every day. You can read the paper here (it's fairly long): Enforced Logic - Reality and "Magic"

That's not really what I was trying to describe. Don't mean to be harsh. I'll try to find a better representation, but it's sort of impossible.

Here is an image that I think sort of displays what you are trying to say. The tip of the tree or the bottom of the trunk is super consciousness. We are but the smallest branch.

Well i think he's right, if you imagine the whole tree is us, but we are just conciously experiencing one little branch of it. We are entangled with the whole "tree" but we aren't conscious of it.
Is a loop really infinite? I don't think so, I think it's infact finite. When you zoom in on that leaf enough to see a whole new tree, you are in a whole new world, you haven't looped back around, hence, being able to have other intelligent beings, totally different species, living inside of you.

Exactly, energy is infinite, it loops on itself.

Why would you get smaller as you travelled and why would you end up in the same spot? My theory on time however is the faster your brain goes, the slower time flows...hey...that rhymes...lol...I think scientists are no proposing that bats can literally slow time by processing thoughts in a particular way.

I have often thought that if you traveled so far into the depths of the universe that you would eventually find yourself in the same exact spot except you would be microscopic. I also have a thoery that the smaller you are the faster time is experienced and the larger you are the more time is expanded.

Ive also debated whether or not the universe could actually have a middle or a starting point. I guess it could have started from everywhere at once or in several different places at the same time.
Yes, but does that really mean the loop contains an infinite space? The universe must be infinite in space and time, as my last post explained.

You could be right, it all comes down to perception i think.
If you see the loop as a figure 8, every time you pass the other part of the loop your perception of it changes, making it a realm of infinite possibilities.
Thank you

That it does. I actually think the mind is reading the energy system around you and figuring out the most likely outcomes of the future.

It stops some where? So what is beyond that? Is that even logical? If you mean the universe stops, but space or something continues, I agree. I think the "multi-verse" as we should call it to distinguish from our universe, contains an infinite amount of other universes. The thread on parallel universes I read the other day was brilliant because I had thought of that exact same thing before. If the multi-verse is infinite, and contains an infinite amount of universes, then by mathematical odds, there must be an infinite amount of universes out there precisely the same as ours, and an infinite amount slightly different in an infinite amount of different ways.

Just as numbers have no end nor a start, time has neither a start nor end IMO. In a "time" when nothing at all existed anywhere in "existence", not even time, all of a sudden time and everything else exploded into existence...

Well, How can it be infinite? How could it have never started? How is that possible?
Which makes more sense? They are both brain melters!
