Part of the universe being born of a black hole

Entropy is lesser in the beginning of the universe because it came from a black hole. The black hole ripped matter down to it simplest elements and spit them into this new realm to cool, congeal and become more complex.

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.

Possible proof of future affecting present
 Spooky quantum entanglement just got spookier.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

- Dune

Polarity

If I were to have both a good attitude at times

and also a bad one at other times

am I not still ME at ALL times?

Or am I one person,

another person,

or just ONE complex being?

This is just like the cat in the box (in physics) being both alive and dead until observed. Positive and negative are perspective, so reality is more complex and subtle than just black and white.

Events

“…Sayings have a source,

events have a leader...”

From the Tao Te Ching

Hunab Ku

The Mayan glyph representing where in the sky the exact center of the galaxy was located named Hunab Ku was known to the Mayans as The Galactic Butterfly. Their entire cosmology and extremely accurate calendars were based on the existence and location of the center of the galaxy.

“The day when we shall know exactly what “electricity” is, will chronicle an event probably greater, more important than any other recorded in the history of the human race. The time will come when the comfort, the very existence, perhaps, of man will depend upon that wonderful agent.”

Nikola Tesla

True democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the centre. It has to be worked from below by the people of every village.
 Mahatma Gandhi

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Albert Einstein

The hope of a secure and liveable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Underestimating

From the Tao Te Ching

“...No calamity is greater than underestimating opponents. If you underestimate opponents, you're close to losing your treasure...”
