The Rebirth of Time and the Universe - part 6


"I was appointed [a] from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began." -- Proverbs 8:23 (New International Version)

The Perfecting of Infinity, part I

When time is reborn in the new universe of the Perfect Futurists it is like the beginning of a day that, out of necessity, must have a beginning, but no end. It is a day of a new genesis because it begins in a renewed universe. It is, however, not in a new universe, but in a transformed universe that has had entropy removed from it from the very beginning. It is a day like arriving, but never leaving a remote secluded island, with provisions to last forever. It is a day that is like not being inside a waterfall as it falls, but being the waterfall itself. Though the water falls and continues falling, the waterfall itself remains and never ceases. It is a day in which you are united in body, mind and spirit with millions of other intelligent beings. It is a day when you discover the real meaning of smiling and joy because you begin to experience an emotion that does not diminish, but increases and is perfected as time progresses. Of course, time has lost its old meaning. Living in an eternal day has its strengths and its limitations. You feel as though the day had never began, though you know it has. You also feel like it will never end, because, it will in fact never end. There will be no next day, no new day. Once the eternal day begins it is always the same day you were experiencing 24 hours before. You never look forward to another sunrise because it is always sunrise. You have no further sunsets to look forward to because it is always sunset. Time has lost its old meaning. You are in perfect time which neither marches on nor slows down nor reverses itself into retrograde. Where there is no death or aging, time has a different purpose. Time becomes like the horizon. It always is there and it stretches out infinitely no matter where you look. To never be able to look forward to new beginings and endings, perhaps sounds less than perfect. Perhaps some will want to inhabit alternate world's where night and day do, in fact, alternate. What a tragic loss to not be able to see the stars at night because the sun is always shining. Perfection has its price.

The Perfecting of Infinity, part II

After a million years, or three million, or ... the perfection of their new universe continued to develop and to amaze them with the endless variations of perfection. Though their reborn universe was as perfect as it could be that moment in time, though now as immortals, time had acquired a different meaning and purpose, there was yet something to be done. Perhaps this was what made everything endlessly new and challenging. Theirs was not the only universe or mirror universe in the metaverse. Perhaps others had reversed entropy in their binary universes, or perhaps they were the first to do so. Might there not be other entropic universes that would equally profit from their experience and technology and, by entering a mirror universe where reverse time was the normal state of being, could the Perfect Futurists not facilitate that other potential entropic universes also reverse entropy as they themselves had done? Where all the other universes non-entropic universes from their very beginning? Was the percentage of non-entropic to entropic universes 50-50, or was it unknown? Would they apply throughout infinity this mystery of how many entropic or non-entropic universes existed in the metaverse? Would infinity ever reveal the last entropic and non-entropic universe? By arriving at this number at the end of infinity, which by definition was an impossible concept, would the discovery of the actual number of entropic versus non-entropic universes finally balance the equation and give perfection a new meaning? Could the metaverse, which was infinite in the number of universes it contained, ever be rendered truly perfect and non-entropic? Would the fact of the existence of their mirror entropic universe mean that though entropy might in theory finally be reversedfrom all the possible universes in the metaverse, might the complete erasing of the only entropic universe be possible? Or would the past existence of the single entropic universe always remain as a mysterious reminder that imperfection and entropy had once existed in the metaverse? What meaning could non-entropy have without its opposite, entropy? Though the metaverse would always have opposites, dark and light, up and down, smooth and rough, simple and complex, etc., did that also indicate that for non-entropy to exist and continue existing, that at least during eons and eons of death and rebirth in their mirror universe, the existence of entropy had to at least have existed in at least one universe? Or is non-entropic perfection, the child of entropy? Or is entropy the child of a primordial perfection that was not based on entropy at all, during at time when the metaverse was very young. It is perplexing to speak of the metaverse, which has always existed, as every having been young. Infinity is by its nature mind boggling, for not only does infinity have no end, it also has no beginning. It always was, regardless of how that was possible. Beings with a beginning and an end, such as ourselves, are at a disadvantage in conceiving of an existence that has no beginning or end.
