“Empress of the Universe would be way too much work. I'd have to wear fancy clothes, probably including lady shoes with pointed toes, and could no longer slouch into the study in PJs and slippers. Someone would (avert!) straighten my desk. Someone would reorganize my yarn stash...in fact, they'd assign someone else to knit my socks, thus depriving me of an excuse to rest my brain while pretending to accomplish something useful.”

“Emptiness, an absolute vacuum, cannot be curved, yet only emptiness makes space. Only matter, our idea of matter, can be curved; its curving is not a condensation of energy but the dilution of the energy of compressed “knowledge,” “mind,” idea,” “thought,” or “spirit.” Only this condensed essence, “immaterial substance,” can be curved in its expansion or “extension.” Neither the “real space” (absolute vacuum) has an actual dimension, nor does the universal essence, the “ultimate substance,” have it. The “immaterial substance,” Universal Mind, is the only authentic energy of the Being, existing in its knowledge and “memory.”

“Emptiness and boredom: what an understatement. What I felt was complete desolation. Desolation, despair, and depression. Isn't there some other way to look at this? After all, angst of these dimensions is a luxury item. You need to be well fed, clothes, and housed to have time for this much self-pity.”
