Do You Ever Feel Like We're All Stuck In A Little Snow Globe?

This is a serious question, not some kind of joke. I'm also NOT asking for this to be related to god, so please, answer this in your own views and not 'god's' or about god, there's many other discussions for that... Okay. Well i dunno, many times i find myself laying in bed (It's where i do all my heavy thinking) anyway thinking about what this world is. Most times, i come to the same idea, it's like the world's a snow globe, the globe of some giant - in a whole new world. We're controlled by it, in a matter of speaking, the weather, the world, night and day, things like that. I know it's a wacky thought, but we see how children play with snow globes, and their one of my favorite things, if i wasn't 'grown up' i would have hundreds of them really, rather than 3 or 4... Anyway, just the image of a child playing with her snowglobe, looking in on it, imagining, dreaming, all those things, just makes me think, what if the snow globe is us, and there's another form of species out there looking in, and playing, dreaming, thinking and so on? Now this is why i say please don't bring god into this, because many will say 'oh yes that's the way it is but god is the outer force' blah blah blah, but this, is not that kind of thought, that's not what i mean, and i don't see it that way at all, so I'm sorry if i offend anyone, but that's not what this is all about... Anyway... Do you ever think or feel like this? Have you got any views on the world or people or anything like that in this world? Do you ever think that maybe there's a special something or someone looking in at us from time to time? Go ahead, i don't bite.

Periodically, my mind runs down the rabbit hole, and can go quite far, on contemplating the scale of the Universe, and our insignificant place in it. Here's where I sometimes get... what if THIS Univserse... the ENTIRE Universe, which we know to be expanding, as a single cell does when it grows... what if OUR universe is just ONE single cell of some organism occupying another much greater universe? And EVERY cell in that Universe contains a Universe like ours. And what if EVERY cell in you, and every cell in me-- on a super-microscopic level-- is an entire Universe, just like this... you, made up of billions of tiny Universes, as complete as this one, only on a completely different scale. So now take that, and imagine INFINITE numbers of recursions, both upwards, and downwards... Now THAT is enough to make the mind boggle.

The snow globe, to my mind, is alikened to a Crystal Ball, and that's possibly one of the reasons that when we look into it, our mind goes off into fantasy mode. I have experienced the draw of a snow globe. Hey! I can just imagine a giant shaking up our world and confusing our balance. That could be the reason we need to rebalance ourselves every now and again? Wow... you've got me thinking here, Spitfire. On the other hand, the giant could be sitting at a desk or in the great unknown, just watching our globe spin around. Interesting thoughts and an equally interesting discussion, Spitfire. I will be back to check out the responses on this. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

At the risk of using the "G" word, all I can say is that some people honestly think that's the name of the special force that's looking in. Others just cna't think of another name for it, so "G" is what they call it. I think there's SOMETHING out there, but I don't entirely know WHAT that something is. Are you asking if you think the force shakes up the snow globe to tease us, or if the force gets bored so wants to know what can be done to "shake things up" a bit, and that's when things start to happen? I have a strong faith in somethin, but I'm not sure what that something is..... not that it's a controlling force that shakes us up, rather something that guides us.

I know what you mean. I have often wondered if we are existing in a mote of dust inside of a giants kitchen. Our universe is their kitchen! It's wierd what goes through my head..bleh
