Observers

Are we valid observers?

I’ve been tweaking myself lately with the notion that everything that happens is judged by the POV of the human observer. We validate only that which we have the capacity to oberve. We then place value, judgement, probability, and other limits on things and events we happen to perceive. There is a great big universe out there beyond, not only our limits of measurements, but of our capacity to conceive of…

What then are the rules, if any, in those places? If they can even be called places. We came up with time, place, naming, movement, texture...everything. We never stop to think that the rest of the universe just IS. Or IS NOT. Who cares? If I had to guess, we are aware of less than .00001 percent of any amount of observable universe.

Imagine if ants considered their entire universe as only what they can perceive. In fact, they do. In fact, they are wrong. There is music. They don’t know music. They don’t know ice cream. They don’t know sports. We, as “higher” beings, can see things that they can’t. My question is who or what can see more than us? Who out there is laughing at us for our limited ability to perceive “reality”. And who is beyond that? and that? and so on….?
