Tweaking produces strange streams of consciousness...

Time.
I am slowly ticking forward, infinitely, monotonously. I am experiencing the universe.
If I were to reach the speed of the photons passing my incredibly complex receptors of light, I could finally look at the universe tick forward as I am frozen in time, a suspended animation. Everything is moving along while I am stuck, yet, I am okay with that. I am at complete peace with my surroundings. The universe melts away, every dimension ceases to exist. I am the universe, I am life.
Life is the only fundamental basis for experience.
The abiotic factors mean nothing without consciousness.

Dark Energy slowly envelops the three spacial dimensions we have become comfortable with, as energy and matter fade into nothingness.
Eternal darkness is all that is left, until the spark of a new universe is born. The conditions remain the same it starts over, a never ending cycle of infinity.
No!
I’ve done this before, I have lived this life, I know what will happen next. It is all predetermined by the universe itself.
There is no deity, the Universe is god, it has divine powers, it decides whether we live or die. Yet, we are part of the Universe, we are all Gods. We are masters of meaning, mortality, matter, mind, and our own fate as well as destiny.

Nothing matters, there is no meaning.

Yes, yes there is!
I love my friends, my family, and my experiences. I have created meaning and matter, I am important, everyone is. Even the misguided who bow down to gods that lead them away from the true meaning of existence.
We are just matter at this point, converted to energy once our consciousness is extinguished. We will be reincarnated, not in the conventional sense, but rather be put back in the Cosmos as energy. Sustenance for plants, which becomes sustenance for animals, the cycle never ends.

As a species our mission must be to expand our consciousness throughout the Cosmos. The pale blue dot encompasses everything we have ever known.
This is a precaution for the inevitable extinguishing of that unimportant speck floating through time and space.

Vast oceans of darkness contrasted by tiny specks of hope and light as they reach the dot from the past, the beginning of the end.

The start of our Universe and the collapse of another.
