The Ouroboros Paradox: Beginning of End
- Adhish Kaushal
What if everything you believe about reality is just a carefully constructed illusion, designed bythe universe to keep you sane? Picture the Ouroboros, that ancient symbol of a serpentdevouring its own tail. It’s not just an emblem of eternity—it’s a mirror reflecting your existence.You are the Ouroboros, forever consuming and recreating yourself in an endless cycle of birth,death, and rebirth. But here’s the twist: this isn’t happening in a linear fashion. Time, as youknow it, is a flat circle, an eternal loop where every beginning is an end, and every end is a newbeginning.
But what if the loop isn’t just about your life? What if it’s the universe itself that is looping, resetting itself after every cycle of existence? Imagine that each time the universe expands and collapses, it learns, adapts, and changes, like a cosmic organism evolving through countless lifetimes. You are not merely a part of the universe; you are the universe, experiencing itself in infinite forms, constantly renewing, yet eternally the same. In this grand design, every choice, every thought, and every breath you take is a ripple in the fabric of reality, echoing through the eons, influencing the course of future universes yet to be born.
Schrödinger’s cat is neither alive nor dead—it’s both. But let’s take this further: What if you are Schrödinger’s cat? Every action you take splits the universe into countless parallel dimensions, each containing a version of you that made a different choice. In this very moment, you are living infinite lives simultaneously, experiencing every possible outcome of every decision you’ve ever made. Somewhere, another version of you is reading these words, but in an entirely different context, with an entirely different understanding. The choices you make don’t just shape your future—they create entire universes.So where does that leave you? Right back where you started, but with a twist: you’re no longer the same person who began reading this blog. You’ve changed, and in doing so, you’ve changed the universe. You’ve seen through the illusion, glimpsed the infinite, and realized the most unfathomable truth of all—you are the Ouroboros, forever looping through the fabric of reality, rewriting the cosmos with every breath you take.
Welcome to the infinite loop. Welcome to your new reality.
