The universe is not a place. The universe is an event horizon defined by a state of asymmetry and marked by change. This asymmetry is the engine of change. This asymmetry is defined by the universe's two types of objects. That which always makes the same choice and that which never makes the same choice. An ever expanding gerbil wheel and a gerbil. A gerbil that runs and a wheel that turns. That is the universe. You are the gerbil. If you run well you will find joy. If you run poorly you will find misery. But however you run, you will run, and death is the illusion that insures this. You are part of the universe. You are that which never makes the same choice. You are the part of the universe that has an experience associated with it. You are the engine of change. You are the asymmetry.
