This video is the final sequel to 'What is Gravity?' and 'What is Space?'. Dealing with these questions brought us here, to the final question of 'Why does Everything exist?'.
By asking 'What creates what?' we already extracted a core truth out of current paradigms. Space, time, matter and energy exist, but why? This creating entity is target of our search. A search that can not be done by the mind though.
Imagine a being that sees these five fingers but not the complete hand. It also never saw a hand before and doesn't understand what a hand is. Each finger is a separate entity. Now, when the fingers pick up something, like a glass of water, this perceptually restricted being will recognize a coincidental, miraculous harmony in the fingers movements. To the being it seems as if the fingers are mysterious connected but it will never be able to prove it.
Uncovering the bigger picture removes the mystery of the connected fingers and reveals the 'reality' of the fivee fingers actually being one hand.
The same thing is happening to human beings as we identify as seperate entities. Most people recognize a strange and mysterious connectedness to others. Going deeper into this recognition will reveal that our connectedness manifests in things like Coincidence, Imagination, Dreams and Empathy. Going even deeper will reveal that there is no coincidence, only misunderstood synchronicity. Also imagination and dreams are just your way of creating your every day. At this level, empathy is not just a word anymore, it is an accepted connection from you to others.
It is only through the awakening from separation that one can remove the mystery from our human beings connectedness. By knowing that there is no separate 'me' – only consciousness.
I think that a lot of people already heard words like this but it doesn't catch their interest. If you think all this is spiritual, mystical talking, let me tell you that the full understanding of these words will remove all spirituality and mystery out of your life forever.
But how do you ‘know’ what consciousness is?
You can ‘know’ consciousness only by seeing through your illusion of self.
Here is an attempt of explaining. Take a look at that car and ask: 'What is the most important thing that makes the engine work?'
Of course there are hundreds of answers, but one is 'the most important thing is fuel'. Without fuel it wouldn't work for sure. This answer is wrong. The correct answer is 'the most important thing is the emptiness inside the tank that enables the fuel to be in it'.
Now, 'What is the most important thing that makes a human being work?' The brain? The heart? No, it is consciousness, the ability of being aware.
You need to listen to these words with more than just your mind, or you will not understand it. The mind is that which covers up consciousness in the first place. And don't ask me to provide evidence for everything we went through so far. How can something be proven to an illusion, you see? I can only ask questions that make you find your own evidence...
Where do you think is your Consiousness – your felt sense of yourself? In your head? Where the brain is, the eyes and ears?
What if your eyes were in your knees – where would be your consciousness then?
We just think our consciousness is in our head but it could be everywhere else. It doesn‘t have a ‚location‘.
Every being has some kind of consciousness depending on nervous system und sense organs. Even an ant recognizes your finger it it's put in the way. Even a flower recognizes the sun.
We human beings are limited to specific ranges of perception, for example regarding light or sound. We are just looking at the world through a small, milky window. How can we think that we ever perceive reality?
What if you could see like an eagle, smell like a dog, hear like a cat?
What if your senses and brain capacity were unlimited? Then we would perceive everything everywhere. Your consciousness wouldn‘t any longer be ‚in the head‘– it would be everywhere. There wouldn‘t be any separate ‚me‘ anymore.
No difference can be made between human beings. We all would be the same.
We already are.
Everything derives from Oneness. How are different atoms created? Why do they interact or communicate in mysterious ways?
Same questions apply to large scales – our universe. How is it created? What are possibilities? What are things that haven't manifested yet?
What Creates Everything?
Do you remember the five separate fingers that were one hand?
Do you remember human beings feeling separate although being one consciousness?
The answer is the same here. Everthing is created through Oneness. In Oneness, all mysteries and questions fall away. There is no need to talk about connectedness or separation since these are only words. It is Oneness that creates itself.
And in the Creation of Oneness,
Consciousness is watching Change. That is you.
I want you to know that there is no desire in me to convince you of something. Words can't do that.
If you are willing and interested though, there might be something in between my sentences for you find to within yourself.
At this point, if you feel like missing a small link, start again at the beginning. Feel free to refresh your understanding by going back through the journey we made so far.

What is Space?
This video is a direct sequel to 'What is Gravity?'.
There we found out that Gravity is nothing but a quality of Space Warp, that Space can be warped with or without matter and that Expansion might be a reduction of space warp. Also it is created by the same entity that creates space, time, matter and energy.
Now, to dive deeper into our question of 'What is Space?', we remember the clues that our previous episode about gravity revealed.
Is space warped by default?
Imagine looking down a long alley of trees. What do you think that space is? The straight line of your gaze? Is it possible at all to see space? Why are we so certain that space is straight? What if that which creates space is warped like this?
The same question applies to our method of measuring distances. Looking at our solar system, we measure by going the straight line, although we know that the underlying space is warped by the suns gravity.
It is a bit like corrugated sheet metal where we might not be able to see the corrugation at all...
The next important question is 'What is Expansion?'.
For that we go back to our Cosmic Horizon and ask: At what distance X is the expansion equal to the speed of light?
The expansion of the universe is defined by the Hubble Constant =74.2 km/s/Mpc. There is an uncertainty to this number, so don't pin me down on a specific value.
1 Mpc = 3.26 million light years, also the Speed of Light c =299792.5 km/s.
With that we can calculate X as 13.2 billion light years.
And as long as the speed of light doesn't change, this – our – Cosmic Horizon ‘bubble’ is constant in size!
We have to go on.
If space is warped by default, the stretching or unfolding of it would make the universe seem to expand.
If space has more than (3) dimension, it could only appear to unfold itself, but in it’s own dimension, it might not change at all.
Let's blow up our Cosmic Horizon a bit. We think that space goes straight (with occasional influence of matter that creates gravity).
That what creates space is – as discussed – warped by default. Now if this space stretches itself, our 'straight/3-dimensional' space seems to have expanded – or it seems to be more space now... … although the space inside our Cosmic Horizon stayed exactly the same.
If you would fill up a glass of water until it overflows, the amount of water in the glass doesn't increase too, it is unchanged.
At this point we learned an important detail and can go back to our 'What creates What' puzzle. We said that gravity is just a quality of space warp and now we discovered that space warp is just a quality of space. If being warped is in the nature of space, there is no need for space warp to be created by something. It's already there.
Of all the things left, it is still space that is our main interest right now. So what is it for? What is space for?
It exists.
It is empty so that things can be in it.
(The fun thing about this is that space wouldn't exist without anything in it. You can try to ‘see’ that, for example by stretching out your hand in front of your eyes and then trying to 'feel' what's in between...)
It is warped.
It expands.
It can have holes.
It is infinite. Well, Is it?
I'm truly sorry but there are more questions on our way of understanding space and this next one might make you go crazy if you don't pay attention.
What do you think is Beyond our Cosmic Horizon? Is there space?
Imagine an alien planet close to our cosmic horizon. At one point, they send out a message into the universe. This message travels to us at the speed of light, but effectively it moves only with about 50% of the speed of light since it has to fight against the universes expansion. This is a bit strange: the radius of our cosmic horizon is 13.2 billion light years but light from the outer regions requires two times that long to reach Earth.
The closer the light comes towards Earth, the less the expansion and so on. Please remember that this has nothing to do with relativity. Light still travels with the speed of light, we are only looking at the effective speed here.
As a side notice, this also means that what is in a 6.6 billion light year radius now, will be on the cosmic horizon radius by the time the alien message reached us.
In this thought model, we neglect a few minor things, for example the remaining lifetime or our sun which is much shorter than 26.4 billion light years. Anyway, we pretend that one day, the message will eventually reach Earth but as we look into the direction of the alien planet we see that it is gone... There is no way of telling what happened to it anymore. It might have been destroyed, or the aliens moved on to another solar system. We don't know. And because we don't know – and will never be able to, we can say that beyond the cosmic horizon, there are only Possibilities, that which is not being observed.
This would also apply to a Big Bang if it is outside of our horizon.
So Earth may be at the center of our universe, but
There is no center for EVERYTHING.
How can there be a center of something that isn't even observed?
Everything that is not being observed, where there is no conscious observer, exists in any possible state. Only in the moment of observation, one out of all possible states is manifested.
Possibilities means non-manifested. Non-manifested ‚things‘ do not exist, until they are observed because then they manifest.
This doesn‘t mean that everything behind our cosmic horizon is empty – or full.
It means that there is simply NOTHING, no space, or time, or matter, or energy.
This can't be understood by the mind. Maybe you remember, but the mind is just an illusion. And since we believe in this illusion, how should we believe in what's beyond?
The reason why is this so hard to understand, can be called
The Phenomenon of Separated Consciousness
which is scale confusion.
Scale Confusion is a human default setting. It is the error of not understanding the same ‘reality’ from one size scale to a different size-scale. In other words, planets expanding out of our visible universe is the same thing than hanging up the phone. The moment you hung up, the other person's life is just possibilities to you.
Or imagine watching a ship taking off from a harbor. The moment the ship is out of sight, it's merely possibilities to you. It can be totally fine, or sunk, exploded, obducted by aliens, and so on. Now if a friend of yours calls you from the other side of the globe, telling you that the ship is arriving at its destination, all the possibilities collapse and manifest in one version.
The Cosmic Horizon of us on earth might be 13.2 billion light years away, but your personal Cosmic Horizon is only as far as you can see. (or listen, taste, smell, feel)
So remember, every time you turn around, what is behind you just became possibilities.
At this point, our initial question of 'What is Space?' suddenly got somewhat secondary again.
Another, more powerful question arises, which is: 'Why Does Everything Exist?'
There we found out that Gravity is nothing but a quality of Space Warp, that Space can be warped with or without matter and that Expansion might be a reduction of space warp. Also it is created by the same entity that creates space, time, matter and energy.

So remember, every time you turn around, what is behind you just became possibilities.
At this point, our initial question of 'What is Space?' suddenly got somewhat secondary again.
Another, more powerful question arises, which is: 'Why Does Everything Exist?'
What is Gravity?
Please join me on this journey further into the thoughts about Unity.
As with every theory, you are welcome to disprove it and save me some time.
Now, where do we start looking for gravity? Isn't it everywhere?
Our journey starts on our Blue Planet. Here we feel gravity everytime. But we want to find out what is beyond. To do so, we travel away from Earth, out of our solar system into our galaxy - the Milky Way. Here, every bright dot you see represents many solar systems. The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 lightyears across. We are located approximately here - shown in this circle – which is about 1,000 light years across.
Our Galaxy then is nothing but a small bright dot on this map of Super Clusters. And now, in another step further away from Earth we see that even super clusters shrink to small dots on your screen when we're looking at our local universe. This is as far we can see.
From here, Earth is really really really small, but there is one quite special thing about it: Earth is exactly at the center of the universe.
This universe is also called our 'Cosmic Horizon' - a 'bubble' as big as far we can see.
Remember, we are still asking "What is gravity?"
In this Cosmic Horizon, two things awaken our interest:
The fist is Dark Matter: undetectable but said to exist, glueing together large scale super clusters and preventing matter from drifting apart, and the second is
Dark Energy: also undetectable but said to be the driving force for the universes expansion.
At this point I'll use the so-called Cosmic Density Pyramid as basis for my further discussion. It shows the distribution of density in the universe which is explained in the book 'The View from the Center of the Universe'. According to our 'current' paradigm, matter and also dark matter create gravity. Gravity then is the reason for space warp. On the other side, Dark Energy is said to create anti-gravity, or at least something that causes the universe to expand.
This current picture is missing two vital parts. What creates time and space? And what creates matter itself?
So let's start again, this time at the origin.
Something creates matter and energy. It also creates space and time. All these, matter, energy, space and time can't be separated. They all depend on each other.
Then we come to gravity and ask: What creates it?
As quite often, it isn't a specific answer that will help us to progress, but a better question. So we ask 'What is first? Gravity or Space Warp?'
Next to the top part of the cosmic density pyramid (which represents matter) you see a 2D model of 3D bent space. Our sun in the middle of our solar system creates the most gravity which equals the most space warp.
Now, forgetting about Dark Matter for a moment and plainly looking at the effect of it on large scales, we see a similar space warp - but without matter.
At this point, why should we assume that there is something invisible and undetectable causing this space warp? A more obvious assumption just is: Space can be warped with or without matter. That means, the statement that 'mass creates gravity' is not the whole story.
If the universe is warped even without matter, then this would explain the effects for which Dark Matter was invented for – but in a much more logical way…
It explains why matter like galaxies in a galaxy clusters stay together and do not drift off.
Imagine a Large-Scale Space Warp without matter being warped like this. Our solar system (of course a lot smaller) shows similar space warp but with matter. Completing the puzzle, our solar system might be only a dent in a dent, like this.
Same way but in another scale, galaxies might be dents in a larger dent.
If this would be true, there is no need for Dark Matter anymore.
Let's go back to the Density Pyramid, we didn't look at the bottom part of the pyramid yet. Dark Energy. The effect we're trying to explain with Dark Energy is expansion. Following our argumentation, the only thing required for expansion is a reduction of space warp.
This is like a blanket with a lot of wrinkles in it that you are straightening out.
We assume: Expansion might be a reduction of space warp.
Back to our puzzle so we can complete the remainders. Space can be warped with or without matter. So matter doesn't create gravity but something else does.
Also with this new understanding, it is much more logical that space warp is the resulting force and gravity is just a quality of it.
In the same way, the characteristics of dark energy (expansion) is just another quality of space warp.
At this point, the question of 'What is Gravity?' is not fully answered but got somewhat secondary.
Another, more powerful question arises - looking at the strong connection right here - which is: 'What is Space?'
As with every theory, you are welcome to disprove it and save me some time.
Now, where do we start looking for gravity? Isn't it everywhere?
Our journey starts on our Blue Planet. Here we feel gravity everytime. But we want to find out what is beyond.

Unity
Welcome to this final episode about Unity.
It wasn't too long ago that the world was thought to be flat.
So what we should have learned by now that paradigms build our reality. Even though everyone thinks something works in a certain way and can actually see it with our eyes, there is still an allowance for something happening in a completely different manner, and there is always an another explanation or a totally different reality.
So as time progressed, ideas were slowly replaced by others. For example, electrics and magnetism were first thought to be different forces but then found out to have the same origin.
Same happened with space, time, matter and energy. The combination of all these is better known as the relativity theory.
However, we don't know what is next. The Theory of Everything?
Who hasn't heard about the hope that is put into the search of the Unified Field Theory.
Whatever we will find out, it is not with the use of our current tools.
The Newton-based, causal and atheistic world can‘t explain many phenomena in the universe and most important, will never be able to do so, e.g. to explain
- The big bang and the creation of the universe
- The reason of existence
- The creation of consciousness from matter (or vice versa)
Changing the way we search, we might find the formula for everything in the end, but we might also discover, that we are part of the formula, thus making the search completely obsolete.
Here are some ideas that will make you think:
1. The Simplicity of Unity
2. Unknown Dimensions of Thought
3. Our True Being and the Speed of Light
4. Invisible Fields
5. Gravity
6. Information
1. The Simplicity of Unity
No matter how ‘deep’ we looked into matter, we always found a smaller element so far. In theory – even if we will never find it -, you should think that there is ONE element that everything else consists out of.
The question is, if this ‚least of all‘ quantum assemble itself to create form? Or does it split itself to create form? Is it infinitely small?
Or Infinitely big?
Or does it matter?
On the other side, quantum reality suggests that we just find something smaller because we look - because we want to find something?
Observer and the observed is one. Consciousness. Presence.
No matter from which perspective we look, Unity is Truth.
If we assume that Matter creates our world, our Being then We are One.
If we ‚believe‘ that Consciousness creates our world, our Life We are One.
Let's take this as our puzzle piece #1.
2. Unknown Dimensions of Thought
We don‘t know in how many dimensions we physically live in. There are dimensions above our level of comprehension - in two very contradicting ways!
- Considering matter and time, we can‘t imagine NOTHING. A state without space and time.
- Considering our thoughts, we can‘t imagine their source or a state in which thoughts move through space and time.
The Source of Our Thoughts
No wonder we can‘t imagine their source, because IT IS a state in which there is no space and no time.
The NOTHING
The Nothing is that which is not being observed, where there is no conscious observer.
The Nothing is non-existence. Non-existence can‘t exist which is also why Nothing can‘t exist. Things can only exist, when there is a consious observer. And if the Nothing would be observed, it wouldn‘t be Nothing anymore.
Existence is all there is. There is nothing else.
Existence never had a beginning and will never have an ending (which is beyond our understanding of time).
As temporal manifestations, we have a beginning and ending. However, we live in Existence. An Existence that is eternal and unchanging.
It is the origin of our physical world – as well as the source of our thoughts.
They both are the same.
This is our puzzle piece #2.
3. Our True Being and the Speed of Light
You, as in ‘what you really are’ live in 0 dimensions. If you need a refresher on this topic, please revisit my video about this topic.
We live in Eternity (which is not ‘time without end’ but ‘without time’) and Infinity (which is not ‘space without borders’ but ‘without space’).
Now, imagine sitting in a space rocket and accelerating to the Speed of Light.
Once at the Speed of Light, you cannot go back. The universe you came from is gone.
You may think: “I’ll just slow down again...”
But remember, at the Speed of Light, you travel infinitely far in no time. There is no place to return to.
Where do you think you ‘pop out’ in the universe after you travelled infinitely far?
Your new speed is basically zero, it can’t be determined anymore since there is nothing to relate to.
What happens at the Speed of Light the same than the Dimension in which ‘that what we really are’ lives in – and there is a whole bunch of formulas to describe this.
We take this as our puzzle piece #3.
4. Invisible Fields
If you paid attention in school, you probably now the invisible Fields of Electrics, Magnetism… but what about DNA? The Phantom-DNA-Effect
Quantum physicists discovered that our DNA is like an antenna – sending and receiving information – faster than light.
They irradiated a DNA sample with a laser which showed a typical wave pattern on a screen (shown in the middle). As they removed the sample, the wave pattern did not. The screen showed a recurrent structure as if the DNA sample would still be there (shown to the right). The same setup without any DNA sample in the first place just showed a random pattern (on the left).
The Phantom-DNA-Effect proves Rupert Sheldrake‘s theory of morphogenic fields according to which every living being would leave an invisible trace of its existence.
But for what reason?
What is our DNA communicating with?
Everything points towards DNA not having any restrictions regarding communication. This is called hyper-communication.

Puzzle Piece #4.
5. Gravity
The bad thing about gravity is that nobody knows for sure how it is created.
Well, at least as long as you stay in the current paradigm. The only possiblity to explain Gravity of Matter is through Gravity of Thought.
The Ego Gravitation is basically the same than 'normal' gravitation just not for matter but for thoughts. In this thought-model, the ego is the center of gravitation, pulling known and familiar reality into our lives. Also we attract wishes, desires and wants into our reality.
Gravity of Thought
- The Ego itself is not real but
- Its Wants, Desires and Wishes create information.
- This act of creation is the gravity with which you attract ‚things‘
Gravity of Matter
- Matter itself is not real but (according to quantum physics)
- Its change creates information.
- This act of creation is the gravity with which it attract ‚things‘
This is our Puzzle Piece #5.
6. Information
Principle of Destroy & Create
There are two things that we do (and which happen) all the time. We either 'create information' or 'destroy information
'Destroying information' makes things it easier, whereas 'creating information' makes it more complicated.
The universe has the tendency to constantly create information e.g. by converting Hydrogen atoms into Helium atoms in a sun's plasma and thus creating Energy.
This means the universe is moving away from a unified situation.
Every single thought of yourself serves to either create or destroy. What is created or destroyed are ‘differences’. Something that makes you more or less separate from something else.
Love & Hate
If we create information, we usually do not like it.
For example if you ask ourselves why you are not as perfectly beautiful as whatever supermodel, you'll probably not like yourself so much. You created information pointing out differences.
But then, if you would love yourself as you are, not even thinking about differences to supermodels, you destroy differences thus making your life more enjoyable.
The self-consciousness has the tendency to constantly create information by making things more complicated (evolution).
This means you are moving away from a unified situation.
This is our Puzzle Piece #6 – the last one.
The only thing left is putting the pieces together. In fact, every puzzle piece is the same. There is only one!
We looked at six unsolved and unexplainable mysteries of our current world, and we only get one answer.
The same exact answer that the bible, the coran, the tripitaka, the upanishads, the Tao Teh Ching and countless other books are telling us. The same exact answer that all the worlds forgotten or misunderstood knowledge is telling us.
Unity of Consciousness
It wasn't too long ago that the world was thought to be flat.
So what we should have learned by now that paradigms build our reality. Even though everyone thinks something works in a certain way and can actually see it with our eyes, there is still an allowance for something happening in a completely different manner, and there is always an another explanation or a totally different reality.
So as time progressed, ideas were slowly replaced by others. For example, electrics and magnetism were first thought to be different forces but then found out to have the same origin.
Same happened with space, time, matter and energy. The combination of all these is better known as the relativity theory.
However, we don't know what is next. The Theory of Everything?
Who hasn't heard about the hope that is put into the search of the Unified Field Theory.
Whatever we will find out, it is not with the use of our current tools.
The Newton-based, causal and atheistic world can‘t explain many phenomena in the universe and most important, will never be able to do so, e.g. to explain
- The big bang and the creation of the universe
- The reason of existence
- The creation of consciousness from matter (or vice versa)
Changing the way we search, we might find the formula for everything in the end, but we might also discover, that we are part of the formula, thus making the search completely obsolete.
Here are some ideas that will make you think:
1. The Simplicity of Unity
2. Unknown Dimensions of Thought
3. Our True Being and the Speed of Light
4. Invisible Fields
5. Gravity
6. Information
1. The Simplicity of Unity
No matter how ‘deep’ we looked into matter, we always found a smaller element so far. In theory – even if we will never find it -, you should think that there is ONE element that everything else consists out of.
The question is, if this ‚least of all‘ quantum assemble itself to create form? Or does it split itself to create form? Is it infinitely small?
Or Infinitely big?
Or does it matter?
On the other side, quantum reality suggests that we just find something smaller because we look - because we want to find something?
Observer and the observed is one. Consciousness. Presence.
No matter from which perspective we look, Unity is Truth.
If we assume that Matter creates our world, our Being then We are One.
If we ‚believe‘ that Consciousness creates our world, our Life We are One.
Let's take this as our puzzle piece #1.
2. Unknown Dimensions of Thought
We don‘t know in how many dimensions we physically live in. There are dimensions above our level of comprehension - in two very contradicting ways!
- Considering matter and time, we can‘t imagine NOTHING. A state without space and time.
- Considering our thoughts, we can‘t imagine their source or a state in which thoughts move through space and time.
The Source of Our Thoughts
No wonder we can‘t imagine their source, because IT IS a state in which there is no space and no time.
The NOTHING
The Nothing is that which is not being observed, where there is no conscious observer.
The Nothing is non-existence. Non-existence can‘t exist which is also why Nothing can‘t exist. Things can only exist, when there is a consious observer. And if the Nothing would be observed, it wouldn‘t be Nothing anymore.
Existence is all there is. There is nothing else.
Existence never had a beginning and will never have an ending (which is beyond our understanding of time).
As temporal manifestations, we have a beginning and ending. However, we live in Existence. An Existence that is eternal and unchanging.
It is the origin of our physical world – as well as the source of our thoughts.
They both are the same.
This is our puzzle piece #2.
3. Our True Being and the Speed of Light
You, as in ‘what you really are’ live in 0 dimensions. If you need a refresher on this topic, please revisit my video about this topic.
We live in Eternity (which is not ‘time without end’ but ‘without time’) and Infinity (which is not ‘space without borders’ but ‘without space’).
Now, imagine sitting in a space rocket and accelerating to the Speed of Light.
Once at the Speed of Light, you cannot go back. The universe you came from is gone.
You may think: “I’ll just slow down again...”
But remember, at the Speed of Light, you travel infinitely far in no time. There is no place to return to.
Where do you think you ‘pop out’ in the universe after you travelled infinitely far?
Your new speed is basically zero, it can’t be determined anymore since there is nothing to relate to.
What happens at the Speed of Light the same than the Dimension in which ‘that what we really are’ lives in – and there is a whole bunch of formulas to describe this.
We take this as our puzzle piece #3.
4. Invisible Fields
If you paid attention in school, you probably now the invisible Fields of Electrics, Magnetism… but what about DNA? The Phantom-DNA-Effect
Quantum physicists discovered that our DNA is like an antenna – sending and receiving information – faster than light.
They irradiated a DNA sample with a laser which showed a typical wave pattern on a screen (shown in the middle). As they removed the sample, the wave pattern did not. The screen showed a recurrent structure as if the DNA sample would still be there (shown to the right). The same setup without any DNA sample in the first place just showed a random pattern (on the left).
The Phantom-DNA-Effect proves Rupert Sheldrake‘s theory of morphogenic fields according to which every living being would leave an invisible trace of its existence.
But for what reason?
What is our DNA communicating with?
Everything points towards DNA not having any restrictions regarding communication. This is called hyper-communication.
Hyper-communication seems to be an interface to an open ‘network’ – to a consciousness- or life-network.
How do you feel about Empathy now?

The Speed of Light Revision
Here is a question for the curious mind:
Why do we think that the Speed of Light is the Limit? Maybe it just sticks to the Limit.
To give you an easy example out of everyday life.
You could measure the speed of cars on the Interstate, and the result might be a maximum speed of 70mph.
You could say: The Speed of a Car is 70mph.
But the truth is: All drivers just obeyed the speed limit.
Knowing this truth, the first statement pretty much looks stupid.
We already know that there is more to light than we currently know.
Here is a short refresher on Quantum Electrodynamics:
The Speed of Light is constant, is it?
The Speed of Light is said to be constant in pure vacuum. Moving through other media like water or glass, light slows down.
In fact, light doesn’t really slow down, it just needs time for re-emision.
So, looking at this diamond, light moves 2.4 times slower inside of it, but gets faster immediately after exiting the diamond.
And the answer to the question: "Why does light suddenly get faster after being slowed down?" is that it never was slowed down,
it is not the same photon that entered the diamond!
Light moves straight, does it?
Maybe...
The path of light can’t be predicted. In the moment you would watch the light, it would choose a different path.
Everything is based on possibilities.
A possible path of light traveling through vacuum could look like this.
Also, looking into a mirror, the angle of incidence is not necessarily the angle of reflection.
It can be, but doesn't have to be.
This phenomenon explains that seeing a hot road flickering in the sun. The flickering is the reflection of the sun, light that didn’t move straight but the fastest.
Let's go back to our main question of "Why do we think that the Speed of Light is the Limit? Maybe it just sticks to the Limit.",
And ask another question: "What would happen if the Speed of Light were to be infinite?"
- The night sky would be brightly illuminated.
- Our communication would probably be impossible due to signal ‘pollution’
- We could immediately see what’s happening in the whole universe
- The universe would be connected in the Now
This brings me to say that The Speed of Light is the speed at which the local Now travels.
Ok, what's that? The Local Now!?
Looking at Earth, the Moon and Mars, each – I say – planet has a local Now, because the Now of the moon reaches us after 1.5 seconds and the Now of Mars reaches us after about 4 minutes.
Imagine a tree on Earth, and a leaf falling down. This event of creation triggers – what I call – a Now Wave. And after 1.5 seconds to the moon and 4 minutes to Mars, the leaf is also falling down for them.
So what happens is that all centers of creation are sending out Now Waves,
to be specific, every single ‘point’ in space sends out a Now Wave – always.
These ‘point’ could be one Planck length which is said to be the smallest distance something can be known about.
And looking at the 2nd part of the famous formula of E = mc2, we see that E is also h*v, with h = Planck Constant and v = Frequency.
At this point, we are able to revise the meaning of the speed of light.
Summing up, Creation (or Change) communicates itself. This happens at the Speed of Light.
Matter-Consciousness needs to ‘communicate’ its constant creation.
Creation always happens in the Now, but it has a delay through space.
It would make sense to consider the Speed of Light truly as the Delay of Now.
The ‘Delay on Now’-Speed is the true limit.
Light just sticks to this speed limit (especially in respect with light being the main medium we can perceive).
This speed isn’t necessarily constant through the existence of the universe. It might have changed in the ‘past’ and change in the ‘future’.
Anyway, this interpretation cancels out the possibility of Time Travel.
From here we can do another big step – well, another question:
Is gravity a result of creation?
Right now we say: More mass = more gravity = more creation
Or would it make sense to rearrange this to: More creation = more mass = more gravity
Does Creation Bend Space?
With this understanding, the Lorentz Factor gets a new meaning. It is basically describing a Doppler effect of Creation.
As a reminder, the Lorentz Factor is what's sitting in each aspect of relativity.
So far we were looking at the Now Waves from the top – at least in our picture here. We can also look at the waves from the side.
In reality, these waves expand in all directions of course. The problem is only that we can't imagine 4 dimensions of space.
Imagine your idle in a rocket on Earth, then the image of the rocket is send out with the speed of light.
Approaching the speed of light, you would still send out light but since moving so fast chase the first wave with a second.
Layering these two waves, you see that they amplify and if we say that 'more creation = more mass' then the mass of rocket increases.
When actually matching the Speed of Creation, all the simultaneously created waves would amplify towards infinity.
Quite the same would apply for a black hole, it wouldn't send out a wave, but bending it and preventing any escape of creation.
Why do we think that the Speed of Light is the Limit? Maybe it just sticks to the Limit.

The Speed of Light Problem
There is one very basic problem with the Speed of Light and Relativity
What sense does it make!? We have all these theories and formulas, but what does it really mean?
Why should Relativity exist?
Most of the time, you can answer a question with a better question – and that's what I'm trying to do.
Let's go through a refresher on relativity. For some thought experiments, let’s pretend you could reach the Speed of Light. With a rocket.
Your space rocket accelerates for a few minutes, then reaches the Speed of Light.
What happens?
What happens is this, that time dilatation, Lorentz contraction and relativistic mass come into effect.
So you're sitting in the space rocket. What happens during acceleration:
For the observer from Earth, nothing changes on Earth itself - of course, but looking into the rocket (if he could actually see let's say into the cockpit)
- time passes slower (and a clock would tick slower)
- it seems that the rocket gets thinner and appears turned slightly
- it starts to get heavier.
For you as the observer inside the rocket, your time and dimensions stay the same but the mass of the rocket increases.
Looking towards Earth, you'll see almost the same symptoms that the observer from Earth saw happening to the rocket.
- time on Earth passes slower,
- it seems that the rocket gets thinner and appears turned slightly
Now, what happens after acceleration, at the Speed of Light?
For the observer from Earth, still nothing changed on Earth itself, but looking into the rocket
- time stopped
- the rocket disappeared.
- is infinitely heavy but we agreed to neglect this for now.
For you as the observer inside the rocket, your time and dimensions stay the same but the mass of the rocket is infinite.
Looking towards Earth, again you'll see almost the same symptoms that the observer from Earth saw happening to the rocket.
- time stopped
- Earth and the inertial universe disappeared.
What is that supposed to be, the inertial universe?
It is galaxies moving slow compared to the speed of light and slow relative to each other, e.g. the Milky Way.
To get an understanding of how big these Intertial Universes are, our sun turns around the center of the Milky Way
with a speed of 240km/s. That is 0.08% of the Speed of Light. They are pretty big.
Beyond the Inertial Universe, it is possible for galaxies to move apart faster than the speed of light. This is unaffected by relativistic effects because the space itself expands faster than light.
Here is a quote from Pandian and Rothstein:
"Although it's impossible to move through space (locally) faster than the speed of light […], it is still possible for the distances between faraway galaxies to increase faster than the speed of light, due to the rate at which the space between them is stretching. This faster than light "travel" doesn't have any effect on the material that makes up the galaxies (for example, their energy does not become infinite in any meaningful sense), since they aren't really moving with respect to each other in any way that they can measure directly."
Let's go back to Earth and our rocket at Speed of Light. Time stopped, the universe disappeared and there is nothing else but 'you.
Just as a reminder, we are still neglecting the effects of relativistic mass – we'll come to this in a minute – but the next step is very important.
Once at the Speed of Light, you cannot go back!
The Universe you came from... is gone. This is a bit paradox.
You may think: “I’ll just shut-down the engine.”, but remember, at the Speed of Light, you travel infinitely far in no time.
There is no place to return to. Where do you think you ‘pop out’ in the universe after you travelled infinitely far?
In fact, your new speed is basically zero, it can’t be determined anymore since there is nothing to relate to.
No time, no ‘space’ or no ‘thing’ to relate to. And you. And the rocket.
Well, we know that no mass can reach the speed of light, so your rocket would have created an infinite mass black hole thus swallowing the complete universe.
What we can do though to keep this thought experiment going, is to imagine we didn't reach Speed of Light with a rocket, but only with our mass-less consciousness.
Then - at the Speed of Light -, your consciousness is floating in Eternity (without time) and Infinity (without space).
This leads me to a 'Why' and maybe you saw or will see my previous entry about the answer to "in how many dimensions we live in'.
Why is what happens at the Speed of Light the same than the Dimension in which ‘that what we really are’ lives in?
There is more to come, so keep your eyes open!

The Answer to 'In How Many Dimensions We Live In'
Welcome to my blog about 'In How Many Dimensions We Live In'. If you saw my last video about Dimensions we stopped saying that all life takes place in the Now. But well, it's easy to say that life takes place in the Now but it's not easy to understand. So let's go from there.
The good thing about it: there is an answer. But it depends on 'Who is asking!?'
You, as in your mind?
Or
You, as in what you really are?
So first of all, you are not your mind - and if that comes a bit sudden, than you might think about it a bit.
You are pure consciousness. We all are that - the same!
The mind is only a tool that we started to identify with. Asking from the mind can never give us the truth (for example time only exists for the mind).
So let's ask the question about 'In How Many Dimensions We Live In' from what we really are. Consciousness. This is really a word that is supposed to describe that what is not describeable. For more understanding, we can also say: Awareness, Presence, Information, Energy, The Unmanifested, Unity, Oneness, or Being.And I'd like to stick with 'Being' for now.
We are and we are in Time and Space.
So what's the story about time!? Time is truly Eternity
The Future is only a thought in the Now.
The Past is only a memory in the Now.
You may ask the question: "Well, but what about an old photo or a planted tree. Everything has changed, so time has passed, hasn’t it?"
Answer
For the mind: Yes, two different Nows = Illusion of Time
For consciousness (what we really are): No, You are unchanged.
A photo is taken in the Now. It’s also looked at again in the Now.
You are without change watching the change. This watcher that we are talking about lives in Eternity - and it's important to understand that Eternity is not ‘time without end’ but ‘without time’.
Next, what about Space!? Space is truly Infinity
And I quote from the book 'The Power of Now' [Eckhart Tolle]
"Just as no sound can exist without silence, nothing can exist without no-thing, without the empty space that enables it to be. Every physical object or body has come out of nothing, is surrounded by nothing, and will eventually return to nothing. Not only that, but even inside every physical body there is far more "nothing" than "something". […]
Space has no ”existence”, […] (but) it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either."
Infinity is not ‘space without borders’ but ‘without space’.
Imagining that - without time and without space - is quite complicated and here is a quote that makes it a little bit more easy to understand:
Everything Forever [Gevin Giorbran]
"Someone who is blind, for example, doesn't see black or darkness, because even if they did temporarily upon initially going blind, the black quickly loses meaning for them because it is just one color, and without differentiation the mind interprets such a world as a perceptual nothing. And in fact the mind is correct, because this is the real nothing that exists in physical reality."
Going back to the main question we asked, we are beings that live in eternity and infinity.
If you ask how many dimensions does Eternity have, it's only a 'point', zero dimensions.
If you ask how many dimensions does Infinity have, it's too, only a 'point', zero dimensions.
We as in 'what we really are' live in 0 Dimensions.
Translating this into everyday language, we live in the Now and the Here.
Think about it and don't stop thinking about it because the question about in how many dimensions our mind and body live has still to be answered...
There is more to come, so keep your eyes open!
The good thing about it: there is an answer. But it depends on 'Who is asking!?'
You, as in your mind?
Or
You, as in what you really are?
So first of all, you are not your mind - and if that comes a bit sudden, than you might think about it a bit.
You are pure consciousness. We all are that - the same!
The mind is only a tool that we started to identify with. Asking from the mind can never give us the truth (for example time only exists for the mind).
So let's ask the question about 'In How Many Dimensions We Live In' from what we really are. Consciousness. This is really a word that is supposed to describe that what is not describeable. For more understanding, we can also say: Awareness, Presence, Information, Energy, The Unmanifested, Unity, Oneness, or Being.And I'd like to stick with 'Being' for now.
We are and we are in Time and Space.
So what's the story about time!? Time is truly Eternity
The Future is only a thought in the Now.
The Past is only a memory in the Now.
You may ask the question: "Well, but what about an old photo or a planted tree. Everything has changed, so time has passed, hasn’t it?"
Answer
For the mind: Yes, two different Nows = Illusion of Time
For consciousness (what we really are): No, You are unchanged.
A photo is taken in the Now. It’s also looked at again in the Now.
You are without change watching the change. This watcher that we are talking about lives in Eternity - and it's important to understand that Eternity is not ‘time without end’ but ‘without time’.
Next, what about Space!? Space is truly Infinity
And I quote from the book 'The Power of Now' [Eckhart Tolle]
"Just as no sound can exist without silence, nothing can exist without no-thing, without the empty space that enables it to be. Every physical object or body has come out of nothing, is surrounded by nothing, and will eventually return to nothing. Not only that, but even inside every physical body there is far more "nothing" than "something". […]
Space has no ”existence”, […] (but) it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either."
Infinity is not ‘space without borders’ but ‘without space’.
Imagining that - without time and without space - is quite complicated and here is a quote that makes it a little bit more easy to understand:
Everything Forever [Gevin Giorbran]
"Someone who is blind, for example, doesn't see black or darkness, because even if they did temporarily upon initially going blind, the black quickly loses meaning for them because it is just one color, and without differentiation the mind interprets such a world as a perceptual nothing. And in fact the mind is correct, because this is the real nothing that exists in physical reality."
Going back to the main question we asked, we are beings that live in eternity and infinity.
If you ask how many dimensions does Eternity have, it's only a 'point', zero dimensions.
If you ask how many dimensions does Infinity have, it's too, only a 'point', zero dimensions.
We as in 'what we really are' live in 0 Dimensions.
Translating this into everyday language, we live in the Now and the Here.
Think about it and don't stop thinking about it because the question about in how many dimensions our mind and body live has still to be answered...
There is more to come, so keep your eyes open!

Evolution of the Lucid Ego
I have to say, it is quite amazing to see what is currently happening in the world, and YouTube as one part of it. All this existing wisdom is rapidly generating even more wisdom by infecting other people, and creating a spiral upwards!
All with the current Target of: Awakening Humankind
I like to put some attention on 'What do we understand as Awakening - at this point?'
Spiritually, Awakening means Oneness, to loose all bonds to the ego and have absolute awareness on the Now.
Physically, Awakening means, you wake up and stay awake.
At this time though, this is - luckily - not the case for most people.
At this time, Awakening means 'the moment of Awakening' - being Oneness, waking up - and then falling back to sleep again.
Anyway, after this experience, what happens is Knowing. The experience itself will change the human being because it recognizes the illusion of the ego and the truth of reality. But this does not mean that the ego is gone.
It remains as a lucid ego, a transparent ego - which I visualize as a cobweb right here. While the previous and full ego being an impervious web with no escape, the moment of Awakening most commonly blows out old habits, emotions and thoughts and thus creating the lucid ego. It enables us to see through the illusion and see the truth. This event may free us from mental addictions or any type of depression immediately.
To a certain extend, life changes from total planning to intuitive flowing - which is basically living in the Now.
This Lucid Ego might be considered as the next step of evolution. It's reason is:
- Securing survival of mankind
- Development of higher senses
- Preparation for next evolutionary jump (making the lucid ego obsolete)
Now this is kind of strange, but the biggest struggle of this stage:
- Survival of the Lucid Ego not secured
which is a circular relation.
There are two reasons that I see for this:
- Egoic Gravitation and
- the Contagiousness of Minds
The Ego Gravitation is basically the same than 'normal' gravitation just not for matter but for thoughts. In this thought-model (which may be part of the grand unification theory) the ego is the center of gravitation, pulling known and familiar reality into our lives. Unknown reality occurs only rarely.
On an gravitational pull radius our illusory wants and wishes are lingering and waiting for us pulling them in. Even the lucid ego - after experiencing a glimpse of awakening - has wants and wishes left. Maybe less wishes and transformed ones, but still wishes.
However, this does not mean that we have to overcome our ego gravity completely. That would be wrong. Living to the full is what life is for. It will be over soon enough. Enlightenment itself is not really life, but it wants life.
So until then let us as one experience all the awareness there is.
Well, but we are not there yet.
The second enemy of the Lucid Ego is the Contagiousness of Minds.
We all know that moods can be infectious, but something is different here. THere is more than just moods.
So let's say, you as you as an individual develop a lucid ego. This will bring new qualities in your life, such as High awareness, Brilliant listening, Higher ‘energy, Intuitive flow.
Even then you still might not be able to sustain it.
Why is that?
I can talk of myself a bit.
Especially at work there might be occasions when I'm in a total flow and everything lines up perfect just as it happens. But then, like a sledgehammer, you go into a meeting and all the energy is just sucked out of you.
So what happens because of the Lucid Ego is that you will also develop skills that totally knew, and one of them is empathy.
Empathy means that you feel the emotions of other people even if they don't really show it. You don't even have to look at them.
You might not even see them.
So - easy to say - it makes it work to stay in a Absolute Aware state of mind.
Only through the constant and conscious alertness of detecting ego patterns, we will eventually be able to establish a global, unified lucid ego, then being ready to loose the ego completely.
But until then, here is part of what 'you' can do to stay alert:
1. Recognize feelings and greet them
2. Be very grateful about experiencing the current moment as it is
3. Surrender (knowing that it's an egoic and untrue reality)
4. If you can't surrender, if you are somehow unhappy with a situation, just know that from time to time you may have to step into your illusionary ego and change things the old fashioned way - by interacting with other people on an ego-basis.

The Eternal-Now Walk
I like to share this exercise with you which always is a powerful experience to me. I call it 'Walking in the Now'. It is something that helps me loosing my self – or to use better words, it helps 'me' loosing my ego...
... it helps to find an answer on: "What am I?"
Go outside and start walking. Don't look back. Imagine your life being the road you go. The steps you made are your past, and the steps you're about to do, resemble your future.
Look on the ground before you and keep walking.
Now imagine that behind you, suddenly there is nothing. Just a void. Feel the nothingness behind you after each step. Feel that the past is not staying behind, there is no past behind you, instead, it is moving within YOU - you are carrying your past WITHIN yourself in the NOW.
Continue walking and keep that feeling.
At this point, I always feel light. As if the backpack of my past dropped into nothingness. My shoulders suddenly relax and I get very conscious of the Now. The ego's bonds to the past are loosened up.
At this point, with each step you are moving in the Now. Of course, time does still elapse, but remember, the feeling of passing time is still only WITHIN you.
Your ego might still talk into you that it has a past and also a future. Also it tells you that it has a body and that it wants to do something else. But you already know that whatever you are, there is no past outside of you.
If you go deep, you will find out that you are not your ego.
Now, raise your vision and look straight ahead and imagine another yourself walking ahead of you somewhere in the dis-tance.
Imagine this future 'you' and realize that this imagination of the future is ONLY Within yourself, just as the past is.
Do you see that you are not your body? Your body changes every day, year and decade.
Do you see that you are not your ego, it too, changes every day, year and decade.
At this point, while I'm walking in the Now, the meaning of time fades and I am not my self anymore.
Past and Future only exist in your ego.
I realize that there is something never-changing which I am and which is connecting my body, ego, past, present and future – making it a perfect illusion.
Awareness.
