Now, don’t let this spook you. But I’m gonna show you what you gotta do to control the universe. And don’t let those scientists who say the universe is expanding discourage you from this. It’s do-able if you have the right stuff. Are you ready? Good, let’s go…
First, to control the universe you gotta get it going in the first place.
And you’ll need a rough idea of how long your materials can last and what they’ll be made of.
Next, get yourself some awesome light sources, water, oxygen, and as many of the elements as you can. Because you’ll need them to build stuff. Like planets, moons, suns, and other heavenly bodies to form a functioning and cohesive universe. After all, you don’t want it to just splatter all over the place. Right?
When you get all those ingredients together, figure out what marketers call “your end game.”
To come up with your end game, answer these two questions…
- What do you want the final product to look like? and…
- Why do you want to bring it into existence?
OK…got that stuff figured out? Good.
Now, obviously, the universe ain’t gonna be no fun to control without some fairly intelligent creatures you could rule over. Yeah, it’s fun to make planets, moons, and stars. But what good are they without slaves?
So, you’re gonna wanna take some of those elements and figure out a way to make some interactive beings. Personally I think this would be the hardest part of the whole thing. But maybe you’ve already got some good ideas on how to do this.
OK, once you form a couple of those “beings,” figure out a way for them to procreate. You certainly don’t want to have to go make new ones every time you turn around or get bored. You’re way too busy for such trivial matters. And when they make new ones, that just means you’ll have even more slaves in your universe.
Hot diggity!
Alrighty, so you get a bunch of these creatures making things and starting their own ideas and building houses and such. And that’s when you move in and show them how it’s all done. It’s your right. Because they wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for you. Never forget that. And they’ll probably just bend over backwards trying to find ways to thank you for running their lives.
Once that all starts up, you’ll really thank me for sharing how to control the universe.
If that all sounds like too much work, or even impossible, there IS another option. You could just leave the whole universe in the hands of someone who really knows what He’s doing.
That’s the option I chose. And I gotta say…it’s such a relief to know I’m not in charge of things like…
- Gravity
- Oxygen
- Water
- Sunlight
- Moon dimensions…etc…etc…etc
If you choose the second option, and give up the idea of how to control the universe, or even just the world around you, pray.
Yeah, say a prayer to the God of Creation and thank Him that He made you and the world and the universe and everything in it. Because He didn’t leave the hard work to you and me…
Thank God
In the best of times, where’s the challenge?
In the worst of times, where’s your choice?
And in the fevered pitch, where’s the silence?
When the love is breached, where’s the voice?
Could you have your very life taken from you
While the world stood at your feet?
Wouldn’t that completely stop and numb you?
Wouldn’t you admit defeat?
Well, thank God He didn’t leave it up to you…
Thank God He didn’t leave it up to you. (repeat)
In the darkest hours, who’s your Father?
In the scheme of things, who’s the One?
And in the best laid plans, who’s the Spirit?
When your heart is healed, who’s the Son?
Could you let your very blood be taken
For your friends who’d run away?
Wouldn’t all your faith and hope be shaken?
Would you even think to pray?
Thank God He didn’t leave it up to you…
