abundance

In the material world, it is very difficult to create the kind of abundance I have just described. Our material world is stretched very very full. It is therefore under tension, and that makes it very difficult to shape. We are constantly pushing against its limits.

But there is another world which is always no distance away from everything in the material world, connected to it by magical wardrobes, if you are familiar with the tale of Narnia, the world of information. The world of language and imagery, and the new world of bits and bytes, contains empty space, pure possibility, at a new level of infinity. Here, on the Internet, we can actually create outrageous things like:

A very very long, very beautiful hall, like Versaille.

Picture this: you load your home page, and it's like starting up a little space ship. The windshield springs to life, and you can see, before you, space. The blackness of space, with stars in it, except it's actually whiteness, and, suspended in this whiteness are some words, in big giant letters: 100 billion years of time.
