Daye 16 / How We Were Made

its not as hard
as you might think
dreaming something into being
in fact its quite easy
we needed only a few basic skills
imagination
visualisation
belief
and persistance
to arrive at the instant of creation

the cosmos was born blank
and we elected to fill it with
all the things of our imagination
we were thinking big
so we started with the superstructures
the galactic clusters and superclusters
the galaxies and supergalaxies
and all the stars
but when we peered deep within the fabric
of the new space
we began to realise that the cosmos v1.0 was flawed
we had neglected
to imagine the smaller things
that held all of
the superstructures together
almost immediately our creation began to fall apart

so we envisaged
the strong nuclear force
the weak nuclear force
the electromagnetic force
the gravitational force
and the fundamental particles
the quarks, leptons and gauge bosons
and plugged them into our cosmos v2.0
as soon as we had managed
to get all these things
operating to our satisfaction
the cosmos began to work like a dream
it took on a life of it’s own
so we stood back
and watched for a while

some of the stars began to die
quickly running out of fuel
before exploding into supernovae
others just grew dim
a few became black holes
the supernovae blew clouds of gas
and higher mass elements
across the galaxies
some of these gas clouds began to
form into newer stars
whilst the heavier elements which were leftover
formed into the planets
that orbited around them

six billion years elapsed
as we contemplated the life we would create
on the most suitable planets in each of the galaxies
we tried and failed
to visualise a succesful lifeform
for a further two billion years
before we became incarnate
and had our first success
in a distant part of the universe
that has now faded out of existance

at this point we halted all of our imaginings
and left our creation to it’s own devices
the universal race has prospered
evolving out of all recognition
and spreading to every part of the cosmos
at all times we are watching over you
but we have taken a vow
that we will interceed
only at times of extreme danger
now everything in the cosmos must be begat by you
by your imaginings
by your dreamings
by your desires
by your belief
by your actions

we have left many clues hidden in the grand design
clues that will unlock the mysteries of creation
but you must know the use of numbers
to find the clues
a knowledge of supracalculus is essential
but since supracalculus hasn’t been invented yet
you will have to wait
until somebody in the universal race can visualise it
and thus bring it into being
dna sprang into existance in this way
first it was imagined
then it was ‘discovered’
you are now learning how to replicate it
and if you look at the number strings
there are massive clues to be found within its structure

as you seek out and discover
the intricacies of the universe
so even greater intricacies will appear
that which you consider to be
the most fundamental particle
will always be found to consist of
even more fundamental particles
the things which you consider to be
the most gigantic structures in the cosmos
will always be found to be
a minor part of an even bigger structure
and so it goes
on and on into infinity
