Chronology - 2.15

seemed there was nothing yet in existence, it was already being affected by a universe that was yet to happen.

As Birnbaum fairly points out, this isn’t just a metaphysics theory, but one that has been explored frequently in quantum physics as well. While such quantum mechanical models which seem to support this theory are a bit out of scope and difficult to cover here, it is sufficient to say they do actually exist.

Moreover, there are similar quantum mechanical models which lend great support to the Cosmic Origins theory in vacuum state fluctuation models.

The cosmic drama often mirrors the individual human drama

What is true for the Cosmic Order, will often be true for the individual human

This (hypothesized) extraordinary parallel enables the metaphysician to 'peer behind' the Big Bang all the way back to Eternal Origins (the Cosmic Womb of Potential)

Thus, the plot thickens...

At this point, we should again make mention of the uncanny parallels the universe has to individual humans. As we’ve pointed out calling the Cosmic Womb by its particular name is no coincidence. In many ways it mirrors a human womb. It is a place where raw potentials come together and create something new. So, Birnbaum reasonably asserts that for what is true on the cosmic scale, so will it often be true on the individual scale.

This parallel is something we have proven occurs with far more than birth. We have seen its presence in the spirality of the cosmos and compared it to the double helix of DNA. We’ve also seen it in the way both cosmic scale bodies and individual life evolve and strive towards ever greater Complexification.

Birnbaum’s insight here is that since an individual mirrors the cosmos so closely, while we can’t go back to the beginning of the universe to see it be born, we can study what is right here before our eyes and gain some understanding of how things had to occur.

In particular, this gives us a great amount of at least circumstantial evidence regarding the nature and existence of the Cosmic Womb itself. This is the only way to look back beyond the Big Bang. Physics is the first to admit they can look 160
