Sometime last week, there were some posts going around on Facebook regarding Autism awareness. The first person to post this was a friend of mine from elementary school who so happens to have 2 sons with autism. This set off so many thoughts in my head...
I've noticed in the past 5-10 years this spurt of children having or developing disorders that fall under the Autistic umbrella...and that's including Asperger's syndrome as well as Pervasive Developmental Disorder. Could it be that while we're feeling sorry for these children, that they are actually more evolved than the rest of us are? Especially with the quantity increasing. While it's true that they have alot of other problems that accompany their "disorders," (such as OCD, sensitivity to noise, etc.) but they also have the priviledge of being 100% honest without worrying once about what other people think or feel. Or how about the fact that they are at a different level of emotional development where they can detach themselves from anything and anyone without the pain or heartache that the rest of us go through. Could it possibly be that they are way more advanced than the rest of us? How about the fact that so many of these children have special talents/abilities that the rest of us don't have?
It's apparent that this state of mind is not perfected if it is in fact an example of human evolution...but there are definitely advantages.
It's a definite thought...even a possibility and the more I learn, the deeper I will delve. But here's something that's proven. The theory of evolution. SCIENCE. And we as humans continue to evolve every single second...minute...hour....day..... Our features...sexuality...minds... all changing. Think about it. Definitely food for thought.
Anyway, on to another topic....Parallel Universes....
Last night there was a special on Parallel Universes on the Science Channel. I watched a small part of it with my....someone? and being that he loves science, we got into this interesting conversation, right before falling asleep, regarding the possibilities. One of his theories was that it's possible that when we go to sleep, the energy leaves our bodies, travels through some worm hole in the galaxy that may in turn jump into our bodies in our alternate lives...and that this process may be continuous throughout many different galaxies, etc etc...meaning we may live several different lives at the same time and not even know it. Now keeping this in mind...he goes on to say, that it may explain why we have these crazy (yet incredibly real) dreams that we remember clearly when we wake...
To which I replied, "Well, if that theory were true...that would mean most of the fiction written in books is actually not fiction at all since most books are based on dreams." Think about it. Let's take Stephen King. Every single one of his books and stories are based on his dreams and nightmares. If my counterpart's theory is true...that would mean every single twisted thing Stephen King has written has been based on FACT! How crazy would that be?!?!?
And again...that would bring us back to my original point....that at least 90% of books published as fiction...should actually be non-fiction...? Could it be? Hmmmm...we'll also delve into this further on another day....
