.......sitting in my garage having my morning coffee and smoke (I hate painting and my family does not smoke) I noticed a Dandy Long Legs spider seemingly on a mission. At first he was coming straight towards me, I thought hmm.....did I inadvertently ruin his web with the previous nights activity? Was he pissed at me.?
Also I was thinking he couldn't possibly harm me so I stayed put and simply watched. Here is the odd thing he came to my foot, stopped seemingly starring at me then it struck me. Thoughts of reincarnation, although our species are so different that one couldn't even fathom any sort of communication I thought the spider was still attempting to convey a message.
At this point squishing the spider was not an option, what if?..........:confused:

I have moments like this. I guess we might find out one day but unfortunately it will be after our passing.

Well they aren't truly spiders, so the chances of you ruining his web are small. All the same it sounds like he had a bone to pick with you. Brave little guy...not smart, but brave.

After some consideration while there are no definitive answers as to the beginnings of the universe could it be that dark matter and dark energy are the real consciousness and we are a small part of this.
The visible universe (stars, planets, comets, gasses...basically all matter) only constitute a meagre 4% of our universe this based on current gravitational and light measurements. Could dark energy and perhaps dark matter be consciousness and we are small bits trapped so to speak in physical matter.
There are times when things you want to happen do. So perhaps in the end the Dandy Long Legs wanted to somehow convey this message as a small part of a larger consciousness.
Also possibly averting an untimely demise should I have thought nothing of this and simply stood up, (squishing him) while I walked to the house to refill my coffee.

so what your saying is maybe it is possible that we are like small electrons, protons or neutrons in the cell of an infinitely larger world...........gunna have to have a beer and ponder this

If I think therefore I am, then what I think Is my reality. That gives us the power to make our reality anyway we desire, bend our universe with thought. That is the power of the third eye.... Now pass the bong...

Lilduke interesting that you post a piccy of the Helix Nebula. Orion is one neighbourhood of the sky that gives me cause for concern though. Betelgeuse may very well have gone supernova already, you see it's not the debris from the explosion or the likelihood of the resulting black hole, that in all honesty is to distant to have any effect on us (around 600 light yrs). It's the GBR burst given the possible orientation of Betelgeuse. Sure hope I don't have any nightmares tonight.
Perhaps Trashy is right I may need a Jack n coffee to calm my nerves and help me sleep, I get kinda worked up about these things.....
Getting back to perception of reality a very unsettling thought at least from my perspective are dreams little snippets of alternate realities? Could they all be tied together in which case might resolve a great deal of speculation as to the nature of the universe. The possibility of a multiverse I think is very real albeit no way to vindicate.
What I'm on about however I was more thinking along the lines reality and matter are not real everything is just consciousness manifesting itself.

I know what yer saying. Some people believe it is possible to manifest what ever you'd like,, threw our consciousness. This is a skill I want to master...

One just has to go back to the teachings of Bob and Doug McKenzie....OK, you have to be old enough to have owned or heard the first album....there's a clip of "Elron McKenzie" doing his sermon and the topic today is, "Don't kill bugs".

"My topic today is, don't kill bugs... Sooner or later, no matter how good you are, somebody will hate you and will think of you as a bug. And then the next thing you know, you're gone."
