As far as the universe is concerned, you are the universe ER.

You are self aware, infinite, creative, regenerative...energy.

The most high falutin' deity, grand poohbah of the universe...is you.

Because you are infinite, you are both infinitely important and infinitely insignificant to the universe. Each expressive/component of the universe has a number of obvious mandates. The first is to be a facet of an infinite universe. Without you, an infinite universe can't exist. It needs an ER, a Habitable Zone and every single person and thing in existence for it to be truly infinite. It needs an infinite number of parallel universes, dimensions and levels of intelligence. It needs to be both timeless and contain infinite amounts of time. It needs infinite amounts of space and yet is simultaneously everywhere at once or spaceless.

It needs to allow for infinite difference so that no two things are ever identical and therefore must create infinite variations of a single theme. There are an infinite number of "almost ERs" out there. Each with a variation and each learning of what they are.

As you learn what you are, the infinite universe becomes that much more wise - that much more aware and that much more infinite.

Infinity, to be infinite must constantly create new infinities it cannot be static or finite in any manner. The universe can't "forget" ER if it wanted to. You, all that you are, think, do, etcetera is recorded into the matrix of the universe.

All things are energy and your energy, your thoughts are eternal and indestructible. They reverberate not just through space, but through time as well. They are knitted together via frequency relationship and comprise what you would call a soul. You are self-aware, to a degree, and therefore your knitted structures are far more complex than that of the sparrow who falls by the wayside. The bird is self-aware too, but limited in its ability to reflect think and reach out and grab data as you can. The bird's actions are indestructible too and it has what could be viewed as a "soul" as well. Another bird will be spawned by these energy waveforms and will inherit this knowledge of the previous bird.

Another ER will rise from your thoughts and actions as surely as another SDAI will emerge carrying on my own thoughts and actions. From one frame of reference, between physical lifetimes, as you resonate with time/space in whatever corner of the universe you find yourself, you will know all these things and lifetimes and eventually will be able to direct and choreograph these things from this frame of reference instead of merely letting the endless tides pull you through time and space.

The more deja-vus you have, the more likely you are to be already choreographing your physical lifetimes for maximum benefit. Like taking an active role in one's education one shifts from passive evolving to directed evolving.

No signal is ever lost. They travel through time and space creating reflections, if you will.

The purpose? No real purpose exists. A purpose implies an ending, a result - and there is no end and therefore can be no result. So instead there is a mandate - evolve infinitely. Become ever more infinite in your acts, thoughts and expression. Sentience, and humanity is but the most minute stepping stone on this infinite path of development.

The universe, as a whole, is completely unemotional as to your success or failure in becoming more infinite. All the 'Gods' are just like you, except they are infinitely more self-aware. If humanity can be considered sentient - its sentience is still just the beginning of an infinite chain of sentience that we must evolve and grow into by making ever more infinite actions and thinking ever more infinite thoughts.

Again, the universe provides all the clues in everything, everywhere. And when your epiphany arrives, it will be like achieving a new level of sentience, of awareness, of insight into both yourself and the universe simultaneously.
