becoming "really" separate, and we give the name "space" to the distance that separates
us from others, and also that handily keeps various others properly separated.
Physicists long for a unified theory, but choke up when it comes down to not only
including themselves in the unified whole, but taking ultimate responsibility for it as
well. Many among the general populace are more than willing to assign such
responsibility to "God" and let Him or Her take care of it all so they can get on with their
daily lives. The Egyptian viewpoint blows right through that. The Senet Oracle Box
with all its houses emanates from Ra, and the story of Osiris is all about his "tragic"
adventure in which he discovers that he is really Ra. The entire tradition of ancient
Egypt is that YOU ARE OSIRIS, and therefore, YOU ARE RA. And since Ra emanated
all the other gods, they are all your creations. There is no ducking of responsibility,
although many Egyptians also got into the habit of handing the responsibility over to Ra
and his retinue of gods and then pretending to worship them as if they were separate
entities.
A simple exercise that helps a person recover the viewpoint of unity is to begin from
whatever viewpoint in space and time you have right now and to expand your attention
outward to more and more things, and bigger and bigger spaces. Then imagine that you
have incorporated all of these objects and spaces into the concept you have of YOU.
Then continue exploring to find even more objects and spaces and incorporate them into
YOU. Keep going until you have incorporated all that exists or that might ever exist into
YOU. (For example, see Harry Palmer's "Expansion Exercise").
Now what does this all have to do with gravity? If we accept the ancient Egyptian
cosmology and/or the most widely accepted modern Big Bang cosmology of physicists,
then the universe begins with a major dose of resistance to unity. Somebody really got
fed up with the monotony of unity and decided to spice up reality with some variety.
This required a lot of energy to push the unity apart into separate "othernesses". To get
a big enough playground for a truly cosmic scale game required the creation of a lot of
space by pushing the components of unity apart. Of course this also required a huge
concentration of attention, and that made the physical universe seem very real. It also
ironically put a huge primordial fixed attention energy on the unity that was resisted and
thereby ensured its everlasting existence as the ultimate reality -- until and unless unity
was again desired, deliberately created, fully experienced without resistance, and then
just let be as an aspect of all possibilities.
Time in a fundamental sense can be measured as the relative density of things. We can
arbitrarily define forward progress in time as a decreasing of density, and a backward
progress of time as an increasing of density. Then we can measure the flow of cosmic
time as the overall decrease in density of the universe as it spread out from the Big Bang,
before which it was concentrated into a single unified and homogeneous mass of
awareness. Space is linked inseparably to time, because density is defined as the amount
of mass per volume of space, and the overall density of our universe is dropping. Thus
we can tell time by space.
