I am rewatching Star Trek - The Next Generation once again. I am watching my favorite episode, Where No One Has Gone Before.
My theory (and I know that others share it) is that some media contains deliberate 'stepping stones' that one can follow to awaken. So far, it contains the most blatant information about the true nature of the Creation.
Spoilers below, if you are interested in watching the episode, I encourage you to do so before reading further:
Wesley Crusher: "... that space, and time, and thought aren't the separate things they appear to be?"
Mysterious Alien(Traveler): "Boy, don't ever say that again! Especially not at your age in a world that's not ready for such........ such dangerous nonsense."
The Traveler is working with another starfleet officer to make tuning enhancements to the engines. During a test of the engines, it is revealed the unassuming looking alien is actually powering the ship himself somehow. The test goes awry and the ship reaches an unimaginable velocity that transports the ship into a completely different place (another universe or perhaps a likeness to timespace).
Immediately upon reaching this other place, thoughts immediately start manifesting into physical reality. Eg, Warf the Klingon officer manifests a warthog-like creature called a "Targ".
Captain Picard manifests his (dead) mother:
Picard: "This can't be! You've been..."
Mother: "Dead? But I am always with you. You know that"
Picard: "Yes, I felt that. But why now? Suddenly?"
Mother: "You mean out here? In what you say 'the end of the universe'? Or do you see this as the beginning? "
Picard: "Is it true what our navigational sensors are telling us... are we millions of light years we millions of light years away from where we were?"
Traveler: "Yes"
Picard: "What got us here?"
Traveler: "Thought."
Picard: "Thought?"
Traveler: "You do understand that thought is the basis for all reality?"
So has anyone else found anything even remotely as blatant as this?
