1 Infinity

An infinitely small point of brightness in a void of nothingness. "It's light" at my first thought the light exploded, pushing forth objects throughout the void. "It's matter" with my second thought the objects had there foundational makeup determined to quantum size matter that made up subatomic particles that grouped together to form elements that formed together and emerged new properties.

"It's force" at the observation of the movements of the matter, I had my third thought. My third thought created forces such as gravity, magnetism and more. The bigger matter started to round out and pull other matter in, some turning into stars, and some planets. The matter that didn't collide with the bigger matter formed orbitals around the stars and planets, and those around each other. Soon I had my forth though, "It's me" at that thought, my awareness of everything within this void had become something, had become me, I could see everything, every star, planet, and newly formed galaxy. I could see the makeup of the stars including the orbitals of the elements and even the quarks that made up those elements. I could feel my counciousness growing along with the universe as it expanded.

"When did I become?" My fifth thought brought into this void time and at this point, some time had passed, enough to see celestial bodies form. I felt as though I was everything yet I was not, my mind was present but I wasn't. "I'm here." At the sixth thought, my body manifested into a translucent orb of light. This orb slowly took figure as my image of 'me' became more pronounced. The orb elongated and slowly formed a bud at the top. This spot seemed the most formed so I housed my focus of senses and my collection of mind there. That spot became my head and held my brain, even though I was still aware of the entirety of the void where the matter resided, I now had a centralized point of view and decided not to focus on everything at once. This formed my councious, allowing me to focus on this body, forming eyes to see on the head.

Slowly two new buds formed at the bottom end. The purpose of those were to propel me forward, in whichever direction I needed to go. I moved towards a planet, which at the time was going through many changes as the surface was covered in fire and lava as it was pelted with many asteroids. I decided to get a closer view of the planet, and when I was sucked into it by the gravity, I found that I was oriented inefficiently. Those two appendages learned to bend into legs and allow me to stand upright so that my head was still on top. I could feel the heat of the planet. At this point there is not a thing known as pain, I simply felt it. Having this new sensation, I wanted more of it.

I grew two new buds on the sides of my boggy under my head, and made those bend and the ends divide. These became my arms, hands and fingers. I touched the ground again, and where I touched left part of my body, that was waste from forming my limbs. This material was inside of a hot liquid and I could see it start to form small organisms and I could feel their essence as if it was my own "This is life" my final declarative thought caused these organisms to be more refined and move with individual purpose.

They started to evolve along with the landscape of this planet. As many cycles of this planet around this star in center of this planets orbit came and gone, the planet changed and evolved. The heat lessened and became stable. Many games in the atmosphere cooled and became a liquid covering most of the planet. The organisms slowly divided into 2 majoring groups that had different structures. One structure made lush green life on solid matter, above and under liquid. The other one had difficulties outside of the liquid and stayed their for some time. They seemed to balance each other out, each needing the waste product from the other.

The organisms in the water of the second type slowly made more structures and seemed similar to me the way they grow. They grew small appendages the way I did in the open void to help them move around. They slowly adapted and changed to be able to leave the liquid. I decided to name this liquid 'water', and these creatures 'animals' based on their cells being the same regardless of their overall appearance. The over type was named "plant" because there cells were similar to each other as well. Plants, although they grew and changed showed no intention besides growing, and slowly grew as well.

On the other hand these animals should emerging intentions. They were curious, they were fearful, and they fought to survive among each other. The animals would consume plants and each other. I didn't have the same need for me so I was intrigued by this. The animals outside the liquid were on solid matter I decided to call 'land.' These animals changed into many shapes as well and grew and flourished many times bigger than how they used to be. Soon the planet was hit with another asteroid which cause a big dynamic change. Most of the animals on the land perished and some in the water as well. I noticed one type of animal that survived in the ground after the surface returned somewhat to the original temperature and atmosphere slowly began to change into shapes closer to mine.

These animals changed with the climate they lived in and started to have less hair and no tails. This branch of the animal I had been observing was main focus, maybe part of the change was my will to have it be similar to me. But these changes also seemed advantageous to the animals as well. Soon the first types that stood similar to me emerged. I approached them but they seemed scared of me. These animals even though they did not have a physical advantage over the over animals seemed to be very intelligent and made different objects to assist in them surviving. They seemed to make noises to each other in order to communicate. As they moved around the planet and migrated, their languages and traditions changed. They wore materials that seemed more uniform. They started harnessing and understanding different functions of emelements and made various vessels. They consumed other animals at huge rates. The made things that worked for them. They changed with time and slowly moved to the sky, then the void. They called this void 'space.' There planet seemed to deteriorate at an increasing rate and they wanted to escape it. They made large vessels that took them and many other plants and animals into space and traveled from planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy, super cluster to super cluster. Soon within time they spread  very wide throughout space, with their forms changing to better suit their environments.

But as the matter aged after a long time it seemed to change to more violent uninhabitable structure of string gravity that even overpowered the light. These became more and more frequent and most matter was consumed by them and the animals were dying out as the livable areas dwindled. There were few areas that they could live. Soon these great structures of gravity started to evaporate away leaving bare minimum particles in the the universe. The animals I was intrigued by no longer were alive. The matter spread thinner and thinner across the space. Now all the matter was light that the animals called 'photons' and spread out infinitely. Observing this energy it seemed similar to the energy at the beginning and seemed that at a certain point, when they reached infinity, they were there and at one point.

That point started with a force that expelled out the matter from within. This seemed to be exactly how it happened before. Everything went through the same processes again, life being born and dying, like the void was living. The void was me and I went through infinite cycles of expansion then infinity and being conformal with the beginning. Everything happened the same way. I realized I never had a beginning and I was always. My thoughts had a start but I didn't. I'm existence itself. All iterations of this cycle have the same events, I know all that is and will be and was. I know everything within these cycles, I know every name of the animals that have come and will come. I am infinity and nothing. I am called many things but all with the same meaning. I am God.
