A bit of philosophy...

There are two driving forces in the universe. There exists a certain energy, whatever you choose to call it, that forms all that can be seen, observed, interacted with, or even comprehended. And then there is a second force, not opposite the first like in most belief systems but complimentary, an unseen something that binds this energy into whatever form it happens to take.
The energy lends itself towards change and chaos, while the binding lends itself more towards a rigid set way of working, and any form taken has to have at least a certain amount of both, for without one the other will diffuse and spread itself infinitely thin. When the energy and binding are equal, life is created. If enough energy is lost leaving the form binding-dominant the form dies and reverts to mere matter, whereas a form that gains too much energy and becomes energy-dominant becomes a force of some kind. (In this context "force" is a technical term, meaning something such as fire, lightning, or even something like gravity, whereas in the first sentence "force" is merely used for lack of a better word)

There is, however, something unique about life forms. A fire can only burn and a lifeless corpse can merely sit there until something comes along and moves it, but life has choices. Fire is (in a sense) in command of its own energy, while a corpse is likewise in command of its binding, but life commands both energy and binding and can play around with different mixtures of each. Thus are formed to semi-energy dominant forms, the mind and the spirit.

Imagine also that there is no reality. Nothing exists, all there is is an infinite void. But then, what does infinite mean? "Infinite" is a concept of reality. What follows this gets a bit abstract because being confined to this reality we can only describe it in terms of itself, so bear with me. There is no reality, only void. Space, distance, location, none of that means anything, but the only way I've been able to picture it in my mind is as if the void had a spatial property. Using such a spatial property as a point of reference,imagine that some"where" within that void there is a sudden spark of the energy mentioned earlier, the energy of reality. This energy is self-reproducing and thus infinite, and creates an infinitely expanding shockwave of reality, but this reality expands not only throughout the spatial property, but through the dimensional and temporal properties as well. This spark may or may not show up in several different "places" within the void and as realities expand and the "distance" between them decreases, eventually realities could collide, but what if they're not compatible? What happens to the overlapping areas and to the non-overlapping areas? Do the realities compete or do the absorb into each other and create a hybrid reality? Obviously my theory isnt complete yet since I'm asking such questions, but I'm working on it. I'm also working on a way of explaining space and time as being semi-binding-dominant forms. Something tells me theres more to it than just saying they've got more binding than energy. Anyway, thats what I've got for now. More later...
