Sometime in the pre-dawn

of Monday, March 4, 1985, a dream took me into the union of all things. I entered a cosmic splendor so huge and raw and unspeakably awesome that it left me stunned by its blinding beauty.

Suddenly I understood the secret of gravitation. Why? Because that dream carried me bang into the Planck level, the smallest known size of space and time. But how could a mere dream do that?

Perhaps in the same way that Kekule dreamed of a snake biting its tail and he realized as a result that joining a string of carbon atoms into a ring gave the structure of the benzene molecule.

Or in the same way that Elias Howe saw from a dream that he should put a hole in the point of a needle, not its head, in order to make the invention of the sewing machine work properly.

To get to the tiny Planck level, I dropped back through layer after layer of human history, past hierarchies of cultures, then of animals before cultures, of flora before animals, back to cellular life and before that, flickering back past the Earth’s devolving crust to a time when it was all molten core, and before that. Back, back.

Back through evolution in reverse for the universe itself. I entered a tiny knot that was the single-celled “cosmic egg” as it began ballooning out with one big thrust like a fist punching in all directions at once.

Then backwards. I was going into the tiny knot of universal beginning—years later I would understand that this knot was like a Mobius loop combined with a Lorenz attractor—so eventually for short I began to call a mactor.

But in the dream, I only knew it as the knot in spacetime that started everything.

Then I went back to a time when the knot was not, when time was not, when nothing was except an indecisive flutter of maybe with number trailing out its mouth.

And before that, to nothing at all.

And before that, to glimpses of other universes like houses moving past my window on the train of eternity. How can I describe that vast architecture of elaborate hierarchies joining in the convergence of all things at the root of creation? To the connective divine love at its root?

This TOE covers some major mysteries posed by the Standard Model of physics—gravitation, dark matter, the lost antimatter and the asymmetrical spacetime signature.

It also considers metaphysics at the root of nature itself, something in the human spirit that wants to connect with divine spirit…and the deep reaches of the unconscious mind from which the wellspring of all creativity flows. This TOE
provides a provocative fractal way to merge physics and metaphysics.
