Absolutely Everything
An Original Cosmology of the Universe
Cyd Ropp, Ph.D.

A Simple Explanation that integrates the latest advances in math and science with traditional spiritual
teachings. A multi-dimensional toroidal model of the conscious universe.
Acknowledgments
This is an entirely original work, inspired by decades of prayer and meditation upon a
variety of sacred and secular texts. Here is a sampling of the books and thinkers that
have most influenced me in the past:
I have also “sat at the feet” of dozens of inspired individuals who did their best to satisfy
my insatiable intellectual and spiritual hunger. These teachers came in many guises,
from university professors to preachers to my 7th grade homeroom teacher, Mr. Bond.
Lastly, I would like to thank my two favorite philosophical sounding boards—my infinitely
patient and loving husband, Gary Ropp; and my brother, Dr. Bill Puett, with whom I
have shared a lifetime of inquiry, faith, and love.
Before the beginning, before space and time, there was nothing but pure
consciousness. And consciousness had neither pattern nor form, only awareness. Then
consciousness had a thought which unfolded into countless dimensions. This multi-
dimensional metaverse still lacked space and time but it now quivered with limitless
mathematical potential.
Then consciousness had a particular thought. In a twinkling, our entire universe was
imagined in the fullness of its complexity, from the tiniest quanta through the greatest
astral body; every animal, vegetable, and mineral; every element; every thing. At the
moment this thought occurred, the metaverse vibrated with every organizing principle
needed to shape and sustain space and time, energy and mass.
All was in ideal balance. Every system was theoretically in tune; every function perfectly
performed; the consequence of every action anticipated, understood, and plotted to the
nth degree. And it was all good.
Having had this thought, the metaversal consciousness focused inward, and that
concentrated thought became a singular point of limitless energetic potential—enough
to seed our universe. On this day that time began, consciousness wrapped itself around
the expanding space of our universe, forming a border between us and infinity. God’s
mind took on a shape.
BANG
God focused organizing principles and energy into one point and touched off the Big Bang.
For a moment, our universe was the size of a single particle. So was the interface
between God’s mind and creation. Then, as creation roared outward, God’s mind rode
along. Like an expanding womb enveloping a growing fetus, like a balloon embracing
wind, God’s mind surrounds the ever expanding rim of creation ignited by the Big Bang.

Units of Consciousness
As our universe expanded, over and over and over again, pale echoes of God’s mind
attached themselves to the particles streaming out of the Big Bang.
Here Now
God’s mind pulses with concentration at the birth of every thing in our universe.
These pulsations send spherical waves of consciousness inward from the border of
God’s mind toward creation, informing each new piece of material with its own unit of
consciousness as it emerges from the portal of here and now.
Time passed and creation became more complex as subatomic particles reached out to
one another according to metaversal principles of organization. And particles made
atoms, atoms made molecules, molecules made single-celled organisms, single-celled
organisms diversified into the full panoply of life, and every one of these material
building blocks came equipped with its own unit of consciousness (UC). Each tiny unit
of consciousness knew what role it needed to play in order to help the universe create
and sustain itself, for every UC could decode and instantiate its own special piece of the
metaversal ideal.
At each stage along the way from simple to complex, units of consciousness
are increasingly sophisticated in their ability to regulate and manage their existence.

Karma
Karma is the mechanism through which the consequences of behavior inform future
potential. Karma is a force of influence that arises out of the decision-making history of
every unit of consciousness in the universe. Each UC generates its own karma.
We are all affected by one another’s karma. The more a unit of consciousness has in
common with another UC, the more it is affected by the other’s karma. Our aggregate
karma affects all of creation.
Like the mythical ouroboros, karma is a snake that eats its own tail. Karma emerges at
the far side of here and now as history, and then feeds back around to influence the
pool of potential futures.

There is only one time and one place in the universe for any given observer. That place
is always right here, right now, at this moment of conscious awareness. All units of
consciousness realize their decision-making potential only in the crucible of here and
now.
here now
All units of consciousness are inwardly resonating waves propagated within the shell of
God’s mind, therefore all UCs are standing exactly in the same no-place. I am exactly
where you are, where we all are. I am exactly where God is, where the UC of a quark is,
where the UC of a skin cell is. I am no bigger or smaller than any other UC because
size is irrelevant where there is no space, and there is no space in the metaverse. No
matter the size or complexity of the material to which the UC is attached, from quanta to
human to star system, our UCs are all the same no-size in the same no-place.

Memes are the cultural expressions of societies. In human societies, memes are most
often propagated through mass media such as magazines, films, and the internet,
although they may also be spread by word of mouth and tradition. The Beatles is a
meme. Andy Warhol’s poster of Marilyn Monroe is a meme. Archetypal figures like the
Trickster or the Shadow are memes. Football is a meme. Patriotism is a meme--all
“ism”s are memes. Every discrete cultural concept, mythology, or icon is a meme.
Some memes are held in common by most human cultures—the ideal model of a caring
family; archetypal heroes and villains; universal human values such as honesty and
loyalty. Other memes are exclusive to their particular culture. This especially applies to
memes dealing with local traditions, religions, politics, and regional myths.
Humans are not the only units of consciousness affected by memes. All cultural
aggregations of UCs propagate and utilize memes. Cats,for example, bury their waste
because there is a strong waste-burying meme that resonates in all cats. “Dog is man’s
best friend” is a shared meme chord continually re-propagated by both humans and
dogs. “Flying in formation is awesome” may well be a duck meme.
Memes are energetic waves of cultural patterns fueled by repetition or starved by lack of
usage. As wave forms, each meme has a distinct vibratory signature, akin to a musical
note. Each individual meme is like a string on society’s harp.
Memes resonate thematically with other memes in harmonic chords. The chord of
“America,” for example, includes many memes. Our world continually produces
unimaginably complex patterns of intersecting memes and chords of memes.

Bundles of Memes
We are not all affected by the same memes. Most memes pass us by unnoticed. A
meme must be either instinctually acquired or learned in order to be invoked by a unit of
consciousness. Once a UC does acquire a meme, it becomes a part of that UC’s unique
vibratory bundle. If the UC does not wish to continue holding that meme’s string in its
personal bundle of strings and chords, it must detach the string from its grasp through
disuse.
Some memes are easy to detach because they do not fit in with the UC’s overall bundle
of strings and chords. One may, for example, forget a foreign film as soon as it is over
because its memes do not bond well with the observer’s meme bundle.
Some memes are very difficult to detach once they are acquired because their vibratory
pattern is so intense—the glamorous seduction of the cigarette or the chemical allure of
the crack pipe, for example. Emotionally evocative memes such as victimhood or
jealousy are difficult to detach due to the intense synergistic coupling of thoughts and
emotion. Unwanted memes must be detached through an effort of will, either through
conscious disuse or by acquiring a competing, more desirable meme. The Alcoholics
Anonymous meme chord, for example, has successfully replaced alcoholic meme
patterns for many drinkers.
A unit of consciousness may pick up entire chords of associated memes, but it is also
common to pick and choose among individual strings. “Happy Marriage” is a complex
meme chord that means different things to different people, depending upon their
selection of particular strings. One prospective couple may resonate to the “Big
Wedding” meme and so expect to invoke that meme at the outset of the Happy
Marriage. Another couple may not be holding on to that memetic string and so do not
need or want a big wedding. For most couples, the Happy Marriage chord includes a
house full of children; other couples do not resonate to the offspring meme, so no
children are necessary. For many couples, the “Bouncing Baby” meme may be
adequately invoked by the “Man’s Best Friend” dog meme.
Who Am I?
“I” am the aggregate UCs of my material body, from the subatomic particles to
molecules to cells, all the way up through the UCs of the body’s organ systems.

Love
Units of consciousness gather their systemic patterns and the universal operating laws
required to “get the job done” from the metaversal information constantly flowing into
and throughout our universe. The phenomenon known as “coherence” ensures the
compatibility and integrity of these universal patterns and laws. What we call “love” is
the felt experiences of coherence.
Brethren units of consciousness need information and they need love in order to join
together and work toward a common goal. Particles cohere in familiar and necessary
atomic patterns through information and love. Atoms arrange themselves and then cling
together as molecules through information and love. Cells work together for the greater
good of their organisms through information and love. Families and societies get the job
of social order and cohesion done through information and love.
In order for human units of consciousness to join and work together for the greater
good, they need relevant information (including shared meme chords), they need to be
willing to channel coherence from the metaverse, and they need to love one another.

The metaverse vibrates with organizational principles. Our God dwells in this informational sea.
God’s mind wraps around our space-time continuum and directs organization inward toward our
universe. This inward flowing force of coherence is what we call love.

Random Thoughts
For all the apparent variety of creation, there is really only one simple shape and one
ongoing mechanism—a spherical echo of God’s mind that constantly flows inward from
future potential through the here and now, emerging at the far side as the past.
We humans are not in control of the universe. We cannot predict the future, for the
variables and patterns are beyond our ability to fully anticipate and control, and the past
is out of our hands and cannot be undone. The only thing we can control is our own,
personal, moment-by-moment decision-making: here and now we have the potential for
full control.
We hold on to the things we love, and love is love, no matter the object of affection.
The meme bundles we choose to hold on to have a huge impact on our decision-
making. Therefore, it would be wise to review one’s meme bundle and make a
conscious decision which memes and chords to hold and which to discard.
Methods for discarding memes include simple disuse; identifying with a different meme
or meme bundle that is incompatible with that meme; developing relationships with
those holding memes incompatible with the memes you wish to discard; and having a
change of heart regarding the desirability of that meme.
A meme that is especially intense is more difficult to set down because of the
associated chords of memes that go along with it and that also must be set down.
Every UC has a job to do. To “live in God’s will” means to lay aside your UC’s egoic
desires and selflessly instantiate for the greater good. When all of creation performs the
jobs they were instantiated to perform, the machinery of our universe runs smoothly.
Doing one’s job brings joy and fulfillment. When UCs, instead, use their free will to
deviate from the pattern of the greater good, all of creation suffers.
If this model is in any sense “true,” one would expect to find it everywhere. I have found
this theory works to illuminate both sacred texts and worldly knowledge domains with
which I am familiar. I invite you, dear reader, to consider this Simple Explanation in light
of what you believe and personally know to be true. Such application of this Simple
Explanation will be a welcomed step in the evolution of this model.
