How far does it go? What the hell is this nonsense? Our solar system alone is fucking mind boggling. In our galaxy, we're microscopic. In our local cluster, our galaxy is microscopic. It just keeps going and going and going. Whats beyond our observable universe? Does it just go on forever?

Entropy
The universe is infinite which means it is growing indefinitely
Its beautiful if you ask me.

That's why blasting off into DMT always scares me - cause it feels like being given a brief taste of the immense force responsible for all that.
I don't really think about the universe or space much though; I have friends that love reading about it all, so I get the fascination and also the fear because it's so big our tiny minds simply cannot conceptualise it. I'm more concerned with love myself.
Which, at the cost of sounding slightly insane, is what I believe to be the the energy responsible for all existence.

AFAIK, we're pretty sure it's expanding. We also know that through entropy, the stars will one day all burn out. Perhaps it would then contract again, then another big bang, and start all over again.
For all we know this could have been going on forever. I got too many of my own problems to give it any more thought than that though.

Chove muito, mais, sempre mais... Hácomo que uma coisa que vai desabar no exterior negro... Todo o amontoado irregular e montanhoso da cidade parece-me hoje uma planície, uma planície de chuva. Por onde quer que alongue os olhos tudo é cor de chuva, negro pálido. Tenho sensações estranhas, todas elas frias. Ora me parece que a paisagem essencial é bruma, e que as casas são a bruma que a vela. Uma espécie de anteneurose do que serei quando já não for gela-me corpo e alma. Uma como que lembrança da minha morte futura arrepia-me de dentro. Numa névoa de intuição, sinto-me, matéria morta, caído na chuva, gemido pelo vento. E o frio do que não sentirei morde o coração actual.

You ARE the merry-go-round, its ALL you. Not just the life in it but all things, the sand, the void and gravity itself.
We are this universe, what this universe does in a bigger context, we do not know.
Its an organism. That organism has an internal life, us, and an external life.

I wanna avoid any possibility of having to come back and do another round on this planet, if that's at all possible. I've felt this way for a long time. And recently I came across this:

I'm shooting for 'non-returner', although giving up sensual desire is a hell of a price to pay.

Interesting perspective. If I thought there were no way off the merrygoround I'd fear dying, cause it would just mean coming back again, ad infinitum. As it is, dying is very appealing to me as it is potentially the greatest ever adventure, should there be a way off this ride.
Your outlook reminds me of Groundhog Day. That looked pretty insufferable after a time..

Space is an infinite (under debate) expanse of absolute chaos bound together by laws that created themselves the first second the big bang happened.
Ain't nothing scary about that.

When i IVd the 4 i blew myself around the circle. I made the full go around. I feel like i experienced what reincarnation was. It WAS the big bang.
Im here to tell yall...this shit doesn't end.
Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter!
The big bang is what allowed everything to be infinite. It was the kickstarter. The longest yet shortest yet thickest yet thinnest yet fastest yet slowest point in history. That point set it all off for infinity to be infinite for all eternity

-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..
