The way that I think of it is that the universe is cyclic, seeing as how all other things in nature operate based on cycles. There may never have been the big bang, but there may have been a big bang. Many of them, actually. My theory is that a cycle begins with a big bang, expands, slows down, and eventually collapses back into a single point to restart the process.
That is one of the many ((("possible" "possibilities"))), just like the big crunch (which is what you stated here), the big freeze, the big snap...
Regardless of what might happen or be, "before" "the big bang", and "after" "the big [whatever]" stuff still exists in a space called Space...or space and stuff still exists in the Universe. Whatever might or might not happen before and after whatever, stuff still bes, still is, still exists.
But obviously there is no good evidence for any of this. It still doesn't answer the question of where it all came from, and where the originator of it came from, and its originator in turn, and blahblahblah everyone knows the story. Doubt even Satan would know. But it doesn't matter either way, all that matters is that we're here, for however insignificant a moment it is in the grand scheme of things. And it may not be forever, nor for very long at that.
Call this exact point when read this sentence Zero. In numbers, there are no last, final, ultimate numbers - they continue forever. If one could see the flow of energies in either direction (also see the Akasha Records), then they could follow them backwards and see events and things, like Lego blocks, or pieces of a puzzle, which fit together to make the bigger picture; seeing forwards, there would be other things which would have to be taken into account to see any possible futures, similar to Griffin in MiB 3, or time travel double-episode Year of Hell in Star Trek Voyager (trying to restore a timeline). Don't become neurotic, though!
I put questions like this in the same level of kookery as ones like "what if we live in a simulation". It's just pointless mental gymnastics and your life doesn't change with or without the answer. The answer would never ever matter anyway since what would you be able to do with it, as insignificant as you are by comparison, or about it in case the universe did have a crunch cycle?
For some people, they need absolute answers, because even the smallest unanswered question or inaccurate/incorrect answer means you are wrong entirely. For others, they lack focus and discipline, because mystery is more stimulating. For others, it can inspire answers in other ways, or trigger memories/thoughts/ideas to be able to come to a (hopefully correct and true) conclusion.
The only other thing I can add is that in a sermon from the 00s it was mentioned that the universe is triangular.
Was that a literal triangle, as in a flat triangle or was it a pyramid, or is it that the Universe is divided into three areas, pieces, sections, tridents/trisections? I would have thought that the Universe would be more spherical, but then I realised it would look more like a blob but a 3-D spherical-like blob, similar to how planets are not quite ball-shaped but are more slightly oval-shaped and have peaks and troughs.
There is nothing beyond this area.
A member said that a God said that the edge of the Universe is the edge of consciousness, but as another member pointed out, if we merely
think about the area "beyond" this point, then the "edge" lies further away. The Universe has a conscience, as I think has been said, so that obviously is different than our consciousnesses. If the Universe thinks, then either it must be precisely
neutral, letting us microbes all fight each other without it interfering, interjecting or intervening, or it must be unintelligent, like a germ, microbe or tiny insect which has consciousness but is as braindead as a lot of people.
Either that, or the consciousness of the Universe, with us in it, is a literal organic brain and we're the tiny pieces inside it, with the stars the neurons and electrical impulses, and all of these and other things which are within it, and because "the edge of the Universe is the edge of consciousness" then we can never exceed it, because as we learn our brains increase in mass and size and density, making more connections; as this Universe brain has more consciousness - yin and yang of creation and creatures, etc. - it increases. The reason it appears so vast is because we're so small within it, like neutrinos which are so tiny that even in a sheet of lead as thick as the distance from Earth to Moon, the neutrino wouldn't hit a single lead bit - we're in the living Universe Being's Brain, so vast and distant, as neutrinos are in this thickness of lead.
While some would wish that to be true, I, myself, having just invented this idea, thinks it is stupid and silly. Although, if the Universe is infinite, then there could be an extremely larger, more powerful, more anciently-ancient Being than Satan. For all we know, we're germs, invaders, whatever multiplying inside this UniBeing - maybe the jew and reptillians are an illness, and we are the medicine, the cure, and Satan is our Foreman... The 4-cycles of the Yuga could be morning, afternoon, evening and night and the Universe lives in Compton where it is too dangerous to go out at night, and the Universe cannot go to the shop so we have to suffer for a few hours/a Yuga until birds tweet and crickets chirp in the safety of the morning, another Yuga...
Anyway...
Then if "Darkness is light turned inside-out", and the Universe is of/by/from/with consciousness, then maybe Futurama was right, that the lightness is beyond the "edge" of, and also is the inside-out-ness of, the Universe - but why would consciousness create things to be so dark and secret, hidden, concealing?
Fry: So there's an infinite number of parallel universes?
Professor: No. Just the two.
(This episode is also about die-versity, with Humans and robots dating, which they return to in a later episode.)
Perhaps the
light universe is the Aether, while, obviously, the
dark universe is the Physicality, and both are
the Universe. While Futurama is jewish, remember that the jew has levels of knowledge and understanding in what it says, so "2 universes" = Aether and Physicality; both = the Universe. Yin and yang maybe are not (either at all, or only) good and evil, but rather (or also) are Aether and Physical universes, with there not quite being a defined edge (the wavy line), and with bits of each in each, and the circle around being the all-encompassing, all-enveloping, all-inclusive, encircling (of course!) everything which cannot be escaped or breached (but can be expanded and increased).
