Imagine the ingredients:
velocity = x (speed does not matter)
air = zero (0)
reference points = zero (0)
visibility = zero (0)
space and time = irrelevant
person = one (1)
Reference: Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man - Essentially 360 degrees ad infinitum positions as sphere is virtual.
The mechanics of the human body can outline the sphere of itself: back, front, top, and bottom. Arms above head to arms at one’s side is almost a complete circle as is arms out front to arms out back is the same. As the drawing is two dimensional, a three dimensional image would allow for ∞ number of positions as the smallest fraction of movement is still movement in which another can always be added. Without reference, all points within the sphere are actualized in all spaces at all times (*god effect) because space and time become irrelevant. How many rings and or spokes would it take to fill a virtual sphere if not accounting for size? Think about a wheel whose spokes extend past the end of the virtual rim in which there would always be room for more spokes. ⊕⊗ These sections can have their mere 4 spokes extended from the center past the virtual perimeter while still maintaining 360 regardless of the size. The same could be said about the universe. Is one person the center of their universe?
*Throw one person into a hole of infinite depth and width which has had all its air vacuumed from it. Despite the person falling, he/she will not be aware of the up, down, back, nor front. From the person's perspective, it will seem that nothing is happening. Without air, velocity will not be felt and thus the person will feel as though they are floating: weightless.
Spherical being becomes virtual UNLESS the being can **feel its own body.
**Think phantom leg, arm, hand, foot, toe, et cetera. Feeling is had despite the fact the appendage is missing. However, this does not account for touching self. If one cannot see self, it is possible to think in terms of a dream state where the dreamer dreams they touch and feel their own arm, but in realty, they aren’t touching or feeling anything. As the spherical being heads through the infinite hole, creation is up for grabs through imagination as the mind still functions.
The first time I wrote something like this, the person was dead and didn’t know it. In the above case, the person is alive, but the goings on are the same. ~ Arachne - June 12, 2012
Seasons In The Abyss
Seasons in the Abyss is a great song, but it is also a great idea. Imagine a dreamlike state where the greatest point of gravitational pull gives way and a falling occurs. All that surrounds you will be darkened, you may or may not feel the velocity at which you fall. Let’s say you feel a tremendous pull and your hair is flying backward and your clothes are all puffed out as if you had jumped out of a plane, only you can’t see the puff. You can’t even see the nose on your face much less your own arm(s). Perhaps you may feel a sense of fear in that you know not what will happen next, however, what if after what appears like 5 minutes (it could be 10 seconds, but time will not be something you will be aware of in full unless you have a big glow in the dark clock) you decide to have some fun with this event. Who knows, it could be your last and you won’t have to worry about feeling foolish at the playfulness of your nature as no one will see you as you can’t even see yourself. Okay, let’s say you decide you want to roll around in the space or dive down instead of doing the horizontal (if in fact you are horizontal) looking whose knows where as there is no sky, walls, or ground. All you have is the feeling of your own body and the sense experience of falling along with all the thoughts (if any) that are running through your head. You could be Superman even with your eyes open as you envision flying into a city to catch the bad guys, or you could be Peter Pan flying off to do battle with Captain Hook, or you are Alice in Wonderland and imagine you will catch the rabbit when you reach the bottom of the rabbit hole. Of course these are stories you are familiar with, but let’s say you decide just to be you. In all the darkness of the abyss that you have fallen into, time and space no longer exist. If you cannot see yourself, how do you know that you exist? Is it because you are thinking and imagine you feel a velocity of sort due to the rushing of air around your supposed body? Let’s now remove the rushing air and leave a calm weightless feeling. Now let’s us go one step further. What if you did not see that truck coming and death was instantaneous? Would you know the difference? Tis but a question. Other questions arise as well. How long is a season in the abyss and what would you make of it? You now have an environmental and physical tabula rasa of sorts. Do with it what you will. ~ Arachne ~ January 28, 2009 @ 5:16 p.m. EST
