ENDING #1
Big Crunch
Expansion proceeds until dark energy reverses
itself, working along with gravity to pull matter
back together and causing the visible
universe to collapse into a single, tiny point, in a
reversal of the Big Bang.

ENDING #2
Big Rip Dark energy increases over time, eventally becoming
strong enough to overcome all other forces and tear the
universe apart.

ENDING #3
Knife-Edge
Dark energy stays more or
less the same and the
universe continues
expanding, growing eternally
colder and emptier. If
balanced just right, the
future universe will go on
forever, holding between the
Big Crunch and the Big Rip.

Reflection questions • 1) Please reflect on the idea that rare, dying-out languages may
contain wisdom and expressions of the human spirit that constitute a tremendous loss for humanity when they are gone.
• 2) How conscious are you of the peculiar linear framing of reality that is part of English and why would such an awareness even matter?
• 3) In which way may your own attraction to the integral movement involve your ego that always seeks empower-ment and coherent meaning as this is its job. Would anything change for you if you did appreciate the experience of the existential paradox of being a mortal with an inexhaustible desire to matter and to make sense of experience?
