A Quantum Leap

One of the concepts I am thinking about now in relation to quantum physics is how it is related to human consciousness and spirituality. There are some theories out there, but one, rather poetic, theory I concocted was the notion that the Universe is structurally equivalent to the atom, which is a homonym with Adam, which, of course, is the first Human "God" created (if you believe that particular myth) in His image. My theory is that the Universe is what many different religions refer to as "God" and is only "alive" in the sense that the cells of the human body are alive. In fact, humans, and all living creatures, are integral parts of the Universe in much the same way as the cells of the body are integral to us. But the interesting thing to think about is this: are we and all that we know of (the earth, all its flora and fauna, and, of course humans) part of the universal brain or merely part of a “lesser” (though not unimportant) system such as the digestive system or skin? And, if we are not part of the brain (though, I secretly hope we are), does that mean there are more “evolved” life-forms out there that are? And, if there are more ”evolved” life-forms, could that mean they are evolved in a way that does not appear as evolved to us lowly humans? Perhaps some virus is part of the Universe’s brain, a more “evolved” life-form designed to eradicate that which is harming the whole. But, like most internal processes, or with outside interference, it is not as precise as the Universal whole would want it to be.

That’s my answer, by the way, for why good people die and bad people live. Life isn’t perfect. Nature, the Universe, the human body, while remarkable in their own ways, do not have complete control over the system they are in, nor the systems they contain. Could it be true that staying in balance is the overriding law of Nature and the Universe? And when things get out of balance, the system tries, with all it has available to it, to regain that balance. The mythological battle of good and evil then becomes nothing more than a Universe suffering from OCD. Cleanliness really is next to godliness!
