Does anyone else get mindblowing moments where they seem to catch a glimpse of eternity?

    So I have these times when I try to contemplate the multiverse in what I consider it's true expanse which is all possibilities. Basically infinity to the power of infinity to the power of infinity........and on and on.

    One of the theses that keeps coming up is what I call Big i smalls. I pronounce the i as a sort of e sound, but anyways....it is the link of something infinite to a point. Sort of like your soul so to speak. You were created and if there are infinite possibilities from your choices (which I know there aren't) The effects of your existence on the universe could be brought down to a singular point, and that would be a small point considering all the interactions of the universe without you.

    But when you consider the infinite possibilities of your effects on others in our present realm your existence would be constantly expanding because you would be constantly be thrown into contact with other points like you which would spawn more infinite possibilities. Because there is creation of new points the whole process is a huge explosion of possibilities at every moment.

    When I think of these things it is like my head exploding with an epiphany of clarity.

    And yes I am somewhat high.

    Yes. I've seen "the long view" a couple of times, and it changes you.
