Just to avoid confusion

I didn't join Blogger as recently as Feb '08.

It just says that on the profile as I merged all the old blogs into the new logon due to Google taking the site over and my having lost the old logon.

So I've been here since circa '06 (basically whenever the earliest post is dated).

The archives here suggest that was July '06 which sounds about right.

See what I mean...

Check the first reply that comes up. Found this doing a search on Cloverfield (the JJ Abrams movie) then on links from that search to this Lost series 4 thread. When did I find it? Pretty much straight after seeing the Atom documentary with the cat in. OMG, what if I've found the next key to some sort of big answer? OK, maybe it is just coincidence. But the collective creative consciousness thing just won't stop gaining momentum. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if art someday gave science some really big answers (by developing ideas that were started by both disciplines). And if it really did start here, with a few black and white cats...

My reply:
Something very weird is happening. Not seen this first episode of Lost (no Sky) but am freaked out about the cat thing. Three places. My novels. The BBC documentary last night. And now Lost. Was the cat thing actually in the new series. Would really appreciate anything that helps my exploration of the collective creative consciousness. I was even considering calling one of my later novels in the series 'The End Of The Beginning' (no longer the plan but another curiosity)

It's just got a whole lot weirder

So much so I don't know where to start, so I'm updating and extending the novel blogs to a final total of 12 for the 'in-novel' ones plus this writer's one (the ones provisionally updated / sorted so far being 5, 11 and 12). I've a lot of gaps to fill in (or more accurately expand on) but plenty more teasers.

So why's it got weirder?
Last night I watched a documentary on the BBC called Atom. More about what I learned (and how I expanded its ideas into my own) later: I haven't decided how much to give away yet!

The only clues I'm giving for now are at http://multiversions.blogspot.com/

Just consider I'm the novelist who met the cat last year. A black and white one. Just like they used on the tv documentary. Who now also exists in a sim game (and did BEFORE I saw the tv show). That's just the tip of a lot of MAJOR (TOO MAJOR) coincidences that actually slightly freaked me out watching the documentary last night.

The novel may be more than I first realised. It's certainly giving me more answers than I ever expected. And I can't wait to find out what happens next. It's changing my life and my perceptions in some very positive ways...

The fact it's turning me into a (sometimesquantum)physicist-theologian-everythingelseist is overloading my mind a bit though.

The theories in the documentary, along with the connections and expansions my very strange mind made to them make all the theories behind the novel a possibility.

Philosophically and scientifically we could be on the edge of an age where fiction* and reality really do fuse. Not that bizarre when you think that whatever reality IS is also the origin of all fiction, however directly or indirectly. Perhaps the time pre-empted by some philosophers where there is no longer chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, theology, literature, art.... but one science of general understanding. And just to annoy both the religious and the atheists and everyone in between one that makes God or gods as impossible or possible as you want them to be. Not to mention all the stuff like Gaia theory not having to challenge god(s) theorising or creation not being a rival to evolution. And it is all INCREDIBLY positive. 'Nothing' does not exist. The spheres of knowledge are opening. Be of good heart.

*including that of all artforms and any of their reality/fiction overlaps.

I am soooooooo excited right now.
