Ghosts may appear as traces of electromagnetism lingering here on Earth before surrendering to the cold void. The Ghost in the Machine refers to the collective portion of galaxies which have long since burned out and cooled off in the vast cauldronic core of our universe. When we peer deep into the nucleus of our cosmos, we necessarily gaze in a direction diametrically opposed from that spot which has been established as being our own planet.
All telescopes since their advent in the early 17th century here have one thing in common: their function is to magnify details that are not farther away than us and our terrestrial location in space (for that would be impossible, and in direct contradiction to the nature of our position in creation, which incidentally happens to already be, by definition, that which exists the farthest away from all remaining points in the universe), therefore, a telescope's function is to zoom in on the various details which comprise the deep inner essence of the macrocosm (itself the central core making up the heart of creation).
In other words, telescopes are in actuality that which allow us to observe deeply into the interior of reality. Microscopes are the instruments which in fact bring to view the farthest and outermost territories of our expanding universe. Our typical understanding of the difference between how microscopes and telescopes work is entirely backwards. In short, telescopes look in, and microscopes look out. This unassailable fact is such an obvious and fundamental truth that it should really go without saying. I repeat it here in the Asylum of Starry Ghosts due to my sneaking and ever-dawning suspicion that most of us have been quietly assuming otherwise for the greater portion of our lives; for us to have understood it the other way around.
Speaking for myself at least, I can testify that I have certainly been perceiving it backwards for most of my developing adult life. That is why I am grateful to have ascertained what I now refer to as the Law of Inversion, my place-holder or label, if you will, which I feel best encapsulates into a nutshell what I consider to be my own philosophy.
To further focus in on the essence of my philosophy, one need only take this Law of Inversion and apply it to all aspects of one's perception of reality. In deed we appear to be the latest development along a startling evolution having resulted from an endless series of such inversions so that in effect we have come to now stand upon our world without being able to absolutely determine what in reality is actually "up" or "down"; "in" or "out"; and "real" or "fantasy;" such is the condition of our lot, trapped out here in our ultimate solitude and freedom amid a crowd of lost stars.
Welcome to the Asylum of Starry Ghosts, a sanctuary where souls interact largely oblivious to one another's presence. A sort of mirror held up by dancing pixels for us to peer into and see ourselves from a different angle in order to gain new perspective. A web log representing a single gleaming nodal point amid a vast interlinked network of hypertext documents comprising digital reproductions of most all of the knowledge our species has gathered over the course of human history since the dawning of the Paleolithic era.
If you are reading this currently, congratulations. You are literally the cutting edge of the blossoming essence of creation itself. You have made it to the farthest possible fringes of our expanding universe. There is absolutely nowhere further you could possibly explore, except for what lies directly about you in your particular area of the world, with nothing but time on your side. It's up to you to take your adventure ever further. Perhaps we will meet someday at a point beyond this horizon. If not, may your journey into the unknown fare well. Hello.
