The Sun and the Earth

Imagine if our perception of reality extended beyond the confines of linear time and flat space, delving into the profound influence of our planet’s ceaseless journey through the cosmos. While we’ve long regarded Earth as a dynamic sphere, forever orbiting the sun, what if this perpetual cosmic motion held the key to unraveling mysteries about our consciousness and our interactions with the universe?

The Thermodynamic Origins

Let’s first delve into its origins to grasp the nature of our perceived reality. Consider the early deterministic cosmos governed by thermodynamics — a realm defined by processes, changes, and equilibrium. Within this intricate tapestry of energy and matter, the foundations of reality emerged. The unfolding of mathematics set the stage for life, which, before the advent of consciousness, worked diligently within the biosphere to regulate its unfolding math (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,24…). This intricate dance between life and the thermodynamic reality generated the probabilistic universe we experience within our consciousness. Just as the math of red, green, and blue blend to create a vast spectrum of colors, the Earth’s perpetual journey through time and space weaves a complex tapestry of experiences and perceptions into our consciousness.

Our Conventional Understanding (is wrong)

Our conventional understanding of reality portrays it as a 3+1 dimensional construct, meticulously crafting the past, present, and future within the boundaries of comprehensible space. However, this model might simplify more profound, interdimensional, spherical truth. Analogous to a two-dimensional map distorting the Earth’s spherical surface, our consciousness could distill our planet’s multidimensional, ever-evolving nature into a linear framework.

Time as a Sphere

Now, envision time not as a linear progression but as a spherical entity, mirroring Earth’s celestial journey. Picture a spinning sphere with our consciousness anchored at a single point. As this cosmic sphere revolves, the past, once before us, migrates to a different section of the sphere while the uncharted future unfurls on the opposing side. In this perspective, the past remains intact within the expansive sphere of existence, and the future, while not visible from our current standpoint, beckons as a realm waiting to be explored (this is a tidy location to plug in the “Many Worlds Interpretation” into my way of thinking. Listen to Sean Carroll).

The Role of Consciousness

Our consciousness becomes instrumental in this perpetual transformation, continually collapsing the spherical reality into a linear model, allowing us to perceive the steady flow of time. However, within this spherical framework, everything exists concurrently, unveiling a truth where the past, present, and future collapse into interconnected facets of a unified existence.

The Ever-Moving Earth

Within this context, we must acknowledge Earth’s unceasing journey, endlessly traversing through time and space. This eternal motion ensures that, from a mathematical perspective, our planet is never the same. Embracing this profound understanding invites us to perceive existence as a continuous journey, where the boundaries of linear time and flat space yield a reality characterized by perpetual movement, evolution, and transition — a sphere without a beginning or an end.

Embracing a New Paradigm

As we delve deeper into this paradigm shift, we embark on a transformative journey that challenges preconceived notions of causality, existence, and destiny. This new paradigm encourages exploration of a reality where Earth’s movement through time and space intricately shapes our consciousness — the past, present, and future merge harmoniously, creating a grand cosmic tapestry of existence.

What Spins Up Under the Sun?

In conclusion, our perception of reality, shaped by our consciousness, may be more limited than the truth. Much like our ancestors once believed in a flat Earth, our adherence to linear time and flat space may represent a simplified version of a more intricate, spherical reality. As we venture deeper into the universe’s mysteries and delve into the depths of our consciousness, we may discover a far more interconnected and holistic truth than our imagination has yet to conceive. It’s a reality where Earth’s ceaseless journey through time and space guides the very essence of our existence and where the past, present, and future intertwine as threads in an awe-inspiring cosmic tapestry of unity — where all is one under the sun.
