I do not understand "I" (if that makes sense).

Well i'd say you Evolve as an individual when you've gained a higher conciousness through knowing your own weaknesses and strengths.
Like old people who are wise and so on.. but the sad fact is they die sooner or later. Imagine if you had that wisdom at a much earlier age.
I dunno, the whole area is an interesting thing to ponder on.

A vacant dimension is still something, as it has space, it must have a parent element or something. "Nothing" is hard for some people to understand, yet should be real. If there was truly nothing then there always would be truly nothing. Yet there is not. This is seriously incomprehensible. Eternity is not nothing, so where the fuck did it come from?

I've wondered that a lot and have come to one conclusion.
We as humans just weren't created to comprehend eternity all at once. I mean eternity keeps going and that is the whole definition of the word.
Maybe we can only achieve eternity through time and understanding of the entire universe. If humanity survives that long.. it'd surely be a time which would make us or break us. I mean what else is there to do when you've reached eternity/infinity/the end of everything lol.
As for where it came from, that can only be theorised when we get nearer to it and right now.. it's mind bogglingly far away.
