How to Build a Universe



Challenging time

The current time is filled with new challenges, it's in the air. We live in a time of transition, and we have this choice either to accept the change or to resist the upcoming evolution.

Nothing can be certain, and nothing ever was held as the truth unanimously recognized as such. The fact is there is probably not such thing as an Universal truth - only fragments the each and every one of us hold as their truth.

But there is change and change has always been the modus operandi of this Universe. Nothing is set, everything evolve, update, transform, ...

Laws and Order

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.

Change is something already occurring, people are awakening in mass ; and start to question "what is reality ?" in fact simple things that we always took for granted, start to amaze people, to mesmerize their interests, why do we have to live like we are never going to die ? why do we pretend to like jobs we don't like ? why have I never stopped and look inside for what I always wanted to do with my life ?

What if we are the creator of our own reality ?
How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later: Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

Cosmic Golem



And the followers of the gospel-shouter on the west coast were now cropping up all over the mainland, and on the continent of Acaire to the north, and another cult, non-religious, was convinced that Merlin was a living machine, with conscious intelligence of its own and awesome psi-powers, a sort of super-Golem, which, if found and awakened, would enslave the whole Galaxy. Fortunately, these two hated each other as venomously as both did the Cybernarchists, and spent most of their energies attacking each other's meetings. The news-services were beginning to publish casualty lists, some heavy enough for outpost fighting between a couple of regular armies.

Did you say progress


Besides, the strange nature of the animal would elude all pursuit, even if I were so far credited as to persuade my relatives to commence it.
And then of what use would
be pursuit? Who could arrest a creature capable of scaling the overhanging sides of Mont Saleve? These reflections determined me, and I resolved to remain silent.
