Are we just a marble in someone’s else game of Off the Wall? The concept of the game is to take the marbles and bounce them in such a way off the wall that the marble lands in the cup. Items for such a game are - you guessed it - marbles, a cup and a clean wall (as in no paintings, wall décor, or anything that is breakable). So, what do you think now that you know the game, are we just a marble (our world) in someone’s or something’s game of Off the Wall?

With all the chaos that is happening here in the states, it sure seems that way. If we are in this game, or another, at least there are more marbles found in the cup over time (as such with our new found understanding of the galaxy and more of what we find of it) and maybe one of those marbles (world) has a slightly better “life” on it then here. Or at least some can hope or daydream about.

In some sectors of this life, there are those that believe that there are in fact other marbles (worlds, dimensions and universes) that are slightly different. A different timeline, if you will. So, that then brings the question to my mind of will we ever be transitioned onto another marble at some point in our life? Is there a metaphysical teleportation device, or vector, that we may transcend into or onto? Say for instance while taking a shower or a bath - with the flowing water (vector) could it in fact “jump” timelines? Flowing water in many cultures, civilizations, beliefs and religions are revered as sacred and transcendent. Even in psychology, the symbology is in relation to the subconscious and the depths of the human psyche. So if one was alone and had a huge transcendent moment or epiphany in a shower or bath would that not cast the person who is having that realization into, or onto (your perception), a slightly different timeline, marble, etc.? It could be argued that no, it’s the same timeline as before. But I would have to counter that if the human psyche is on more of a “higher frequency” because of that epiphany they could be on a different trajectory than before. So, in essence, it could be a different timeline as the human psyche and your belief always alters your perception of the world around you.

These are just some thoughts that float around in my very expansive mind, soul and being. I do hope that when you read this it casts you into or onto a process of intrigue that brings you to use your mind imaginatively, as well as critically. Study the vast cosmos and the human brain. Not just the structure but of how and what makes it work and tick. It is truly a fascinating combination. Maybe you will find yourself in a slightly better marble along the way.

Here is to the game of Marbles and Off the Wall. Happy jumping!
