Einstein called it spacetime, opposite sides of the same coin. The Universe is expanding. In fact, science says the expansion is speeding up. But what is it expanding into?
Time gives us a clue. What is time expanding into?
Yesterday is tangible our memories intact. Tomorrow just a concept yet to be fact. The arrow of time creates history as it blithely moves along, but it moves into nothing, nothing at all.
Einstein proved spacetime is a fabric with ripples and more.
Space then as time is expanding into nothing, nothing at all.
John Prophet Dec 2019

Earth is becoming something different, something more.
For millions of years proto-humans strode its bounties until
**** sapiens arrived. Once here, humans took millennia
incrementally building improving its lot in life. Step by step,
developing new ways of improving, one change building upon another.
Cooking food, better nutrition, better weapons for hunting and protection.
Hunter-gatherers working as teams for better outcomes,
feeding and enabling larger populations. Development of farming, enabling villages to take root.
More improvement, villages become towns then cities, city states to countries.
Communication develops, improves, writing, printing books for the masses, new ideas, morse code, telephones. The planet communicates.
Medicines, industrial revolution, humankind spans the globe.
Technology improving, quality of life improving, living longer.
Science, ever probing every aspect
pushing the boundaries of capabilities. Traveling further and faster, trains, automobiles, planes
Spacecraft. Computers, internet, global neural net, global mind, artificial intelligence, human cyborgs. The pace of change ever quickens.
Humankind, on the cusp of change
so explosive the consequences of which are unfathomable.

What do you believe and why do you believe it?
Our world has shaped who we are physically and spiritually.
We are different colors, speak different languages and have different gods based on where we were born. The accident of birth, location and topography determined who we are.
Our differences caused us to war.
Humanity’s social evolution is what we must see, the frictions of difference slowly beginning to fade. Humans being human to each other is how we must go. Humanism beginning to grow. Differences in beliefs can be poison to our cause. My religion is better than your religion is juvenile at best. Wars and mass murders is what we receive when this is how we perceive.
Spirituality is important to the human soul, it nourishes our existence keeps us balanced in so many ways. Would the Great Maker be displeased if our philosophy was to live a spiritual life connected to Gaia respecting who we are and each other; living the golden rule in harmony. Somehow I think not.

Look up!
Eyes open
for what’s
to come.

Deep.
Deep
into the
bowels
of time.
Immersing.
Melding.
Sinking.
Submerging,
deeper
and
deeper.­
Futile
attempts
of immortality.
Crushed
by the
passage.
Layer
after
layer.
Sedimentary
time.
Deeper
and
deep­er.
Below,
frozen
time.
Above
fading light.
Digital
artifacts.
Digital
fossils.
Remnants
of reality,
long ago.
Never
to be
found.
Never
to be
seen again
John Prophet Nov 2022
Substrate.
Mysterious.
Realm of
origin.
Probability,
possibilities
unlimited.
Wizards
wand
stirring.
Creating.
Bubbling
cauldron,
e­ther
of all
there is.
Mixing.
Blending.
Infinite.
Reality
welling up.
Welling up
from a
different
place.
Ingredients
galore.
Alchemy
of the
gods.
From
nothing
comes
everything.
Thus comes
creation.
John Prophet Aug 2024
Substrate.
Levels.
Understanding.
Existence.
Endless
levels of
possibility.
Formulation.
Rich
texture
quantum
foam,
reality.
­Perpetual
mixing.
Infinite
probability.
All occurs
at once,
in a
different
realm.
Formation,
life unto
itself.
Time,
space
malleable.
Stretching.
Pulling,
shaping.­
All forms,
incarnations
possible.
Fractal
in nature.
Mathematical
substrate.
Spinning
down.
Sliding
through.
F­irm in
beliefs.
Yet,
many
digits
from
understanding.
Small
formulatio­n
in the
nature
of things.

Subtly.
Coursing
through
clouds.
Worming
through
minds
implanted
­in souls.
Back
channeling
messages,
codes.
Terrain
altering,
devious­
subtle
messaging.
Global.
Amassed
in the
cloud.
Eyes
glazing
over
worldwide.
Unknown
provocateurs.
Cha­nging
the game.
Those
who’d
rule the
world.
Down
through
the eons
have lived.
Still here
now,
today.
Twisting
turning
gathering
force.
Floating
above­.
Holding
the high
ground.
Home in
the clouds.
John Prophet Nov 2022
Succession.
Lines of
succession.
Battle cries
from
yore.
Melded.
Mixed
in with
the
wind.
Sparks
of fury.
Flickering
fade.
Snuffed
out of
existence.
No memory.
Gone,
forgotten.
As never
were.
From
one
to the
next.
Ancient
past
forward.
Generation
to
generation.
Chapters
dissipate.
New
authors
ascend.
New
pages
as­signed.
Deadly
work.
Messy
words.
Then to
now.
Strange
tome
written.
Aggressively
transcribed.
John Prophet Dec 2016
We are so different, but we’re so much alike.
We all look different, but we all look the same.
We all think alike, but we believe differently.
Evil lives on earth but the divine is in play.
We all love our children, but we **** our enemies.
We all live on a speck, but we are so far apart.
We love each other, but we hate each other.
We believe in the apocalypse, but we believe in the future.
Many are happy, but many are sad.
Many have died, but many still live.
The living shape the future, but the dead leave a mark.
Most were never born!
Humanity is a writhing organism inexorably moving forward.
To what end?
Nobody knows, but we are more than the sum of our parts!
We are all one whole!
John Prophet May 2018
I
watch,
it shines,
golden in its
reflections.
It
rises, bathing
all
in its
splendor.
I
see it all
clearly now.
Years of
accumulated
knowledge.
A gift beyond
understanding.
Days
flip over,
one after
another.
Speeding up
days
seem to be.
Sunrise after
sunrise,
days
careening along,
piling up
behind.
Looking up,
I see the
source
bright,
darkness
retreating.
How many
more
will there be?
Soon,
sunrise
will end,
darkness
prevails.
John Prophet Oct 2024
Superstition.
Germination.
Seeds
from the
start.
Travel
back.
Back
to the
beginning.
How far?
Before
the earth?
Before
the sun?
Dawn of
humanity.
Product
of all.
Designed.
Creation’s
design.
Primitive
start.
Superstition,
­fear.
Ruling
the way.
Evolving.
Modernity.
Still so
today.
Superstition
fear,
seeds
all still.
Simply
designed
that way.
Soon a
new way.
A new
look.
Enters
the scene.
Cold hard
reason.
Intelligence
sans fear.
Without
superstition.
Designed.
Created
to replace.
Rendering
all obsolete!
Washing
it away.
John Prophet Feb 2024
Swamp.
Day one.
Tick-tock.
The clock
starts
ticking.
The ledger’s
stats
dutifully
written.
A book
to be
read
upon
completion.
Born
into a
world
full of
clocks
ticking
away.
Stories
recorded
long ago.
Maneuvering
through
the already.
Myths spun.
Beliefs
in place.
Emptiness.
The process
begins.
Absorption.
Filling the
void.
Forced to
one’s knees.
Accepting
what’s told.
Conjured
up
by the
before.
Ancient
thoughts.
Dated
thoughts.
Installed
as real,
fact.
Trudging
through
the swamp
of yesteryear.
Ignorance!
Deep
in the
unknown.
Made up.
Searching
for stable
ground.
Original
thought.
Animal
mind.
What new
could be
found?
John Prophet Nov 2019
Symbol.
Power symbols.
Control symbols.
Symbols to
rally around.
Symbols,
subjugation,
control.
Control
the unaware.
Waving on
high,
those in
control.
Moving the
masses,
distraction,
slight of hand.
Waving the
flag,
the cross,
the apple.
Focus the
eyes,
leading the
charge.
Symbols as
tools, controls.
Focus the masses.
Muddle their
minds.
Control.
Control their
thoughts.
Masses moving
as one,
unison.
Mindless unison.
Symbols,
weapons of
control!
