The Origin of Life and Consciousness: Part III – The Dynamics of the Universe.

Our universe is structured in three dimensions, and throughout existence, a recurring pattern emerges: three elements consistently interact. This triadic structure is evident in various aspects of life and the cosmos. Consider the relationship between past, present, and future, or the balance of positive, negative, and neutral forces. Similarly, we see this pattern in the stages of life—child, adult, and elder—representing the continuum of human existence. The same principle applies to other cycles, such as awake, dreaming, and dead, illustrating how the universe continuously expresses itself through these fundamental triads.
The logic of the universe compels us to break through, advance, and transcend the present moment, continuously pushing us toward the future. As we journey forward, we inevitably leave parts of the past behind, yet the present remains the center of our experience. The future eventually becomes the past, but no matter where we are on the timeline, the present is our constant anchor. Even at birth, we transcend what was once the future, prompting us to question: can we truly say we came from nowhere? In this context, if we transcend into life, could death also be something that can be transcended?
Let me explain this from a mathematical perspective. When the three planes of a graph (X, Y, Z) intersect at a central point, they expand infinitely across one another. We can think of this central point as the “Big Bang,” the origin of the universe, from which everything expands outward infinitely. In mathematics, parallel lines are the only ones that never meet, no matter how far they are extended. However, if the universe began at a single point, influenced by factors like mass, gravity, and the rate of expansion, it is likely that one day it will collapse back into a single point. After this collapse, the universe will expand again, but this time with one crucial difference—the presence of consciousness, specifically humans.
Consciousness, in many ways, is inherently driven by a desire to survive beyond death, and much of our technological progress is motivated by the urge to extend life and prevent extinction. For instance, humans have developed the ability to predict potential existential threats, like meteors, that could cause mass extinction—something the dinosaurs could never anticipate. I believe humanity will not fall victim to the natural catastrophes that led to the demise of past species. In fact, when the universe eventually collapses and a new Big Bang occurs, we may have already created the technology to transfer our consciousness into the freshly formed universe. This would allow us to continue our evolution, positioning ourselves in the optimal stage of its creation. With such advancements, we could even colonize countless planets. The technology we are crafting today might be laying the foundation for this futuristic “afterlife.”
I encourage readers to preserve their thoughts and emotions, to project themselves into what I call “paradise” or “the afterlife.” After death, we might reawaken billions of years later, but that span of time will feel like an instant—just as we were unaware of the billions of years that passed before we were born. This second life would offer a fresh start.
How can anyone live without an innate, almost primal hope for eternal life? If God exists, how could such a being truly comprehend our deepest desires unless we were granted the opportunity to define ourselves, to be remade in the image of our most profound wishes? For me, these desires are clear: freedom, power, wealth, and the ability to fly—there, I’ve said it. We are intricately woven into the fabric of space, matter, and time, three dimensions intertwined to create all that we perceive. In many ways, life itself resembles an infinite line, stretching endlessly through the cosmos. But the ultimate question remains: for whom is God weaving this vast, cosmic “sweater”?
