Dude, I was sitting in bed, listening to music and icing my knee and I must have nodded off because I was dream-thinking about how an ant perceives itself and if they knew anything about the pyramids, when I could see the world from the scale and perspective of an ant, and how he saw his body parts in the same proportions as we see our arms and legs. And the ant showed me how in his world, he is very big. And a pile of sand he’d stacked was very small. But then a hand came out of the sky and took his pile to the other side, where his pile became very big, and the ant was very small. And I could see it all and it visually made exact sense. The worlds looked like the infinity sign–twisted in the middle and opposite proportions but otherwise, exactly the same. I wish I could draw.<\/p>\n
The music woke me up.\u00a0 It’s frustrating not to be able to convey what I saw…I’ve been seeing flashes of this principle since I was a little kid, this paradoxical fluidity, a drop of water that’s both the smallest thing that turns into the biggest thing that envelopes everything in the universe back into the smallest thing, and the loop was perfectly closed and filled space completely and simultaneously. If somehow someone or something was able to reach right into the middle where things are most contradicting but existing in the exact same space, where the loop twists, it may be possible to bring back something of bigger or smaller proportion.<\/p>\n
Like my big rebound today if you saw it. I’m pretty sure that was out of proportion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
