Ok, this is the last one. No more answers from the grey!
The alien entity with an IQ approaching 400 answers the question during a channeling session of why and how the Universe began. Is it boundless? Is it eternal? What was there before the Big Bang when even time didn't exist? Here is it's reply:
"Because Humans had a beggining, and were in part manufactured, they assume the Universe also had a beggining and that it was manufactured. And because every effect has a cause, they assume that something or someone must have manufactured it. But reality contains everything and is contained by nothing. Therefore, the very process that created the Universe, if there ever was one, is contained in reality itself. This means that reality has always existed in some way. Always pressuposes the existence of time, and time is a function of matter, where the interactions between it's properties must follow the pattern of effects following causes, and this oderly perception of physical interactions is what time is. But time has always existed as a potential. Imagine there is no matter, hence no time, but the set of potentials that gave birth to the Universe represent something, namely, conceptual, intelligent determinations. These conceptual determinations could be seen as proto-causes, although not true causes, and since the effects that follow causes are perceived as the passage of time, and since the first cause could be seen as an effect of the conceptual determination that made them come into being, then time existed as a potential before the physical Universe - not exatly the same as reality itself - came into being. What Humans call the Big Bang was not the beggining of the Universe, but merely the expansion of part of the Universe according to a certain set of physical constants. We have already explained how physical laws work with the concept of balance. How for the force of attraction there is the force of repulsion, and so forth. The Big Bang was nothing more than the repulsion force in overload, that acted to counter the excess of attraction that crowded enormous amounts of matter into a tiny space, and it affected only a small part of the Universe as a whole. The crunch rearranges matter according to new physical laws that will act when matter is expanded, and these laws are tweeked in every crunch as matter tries to find a perfect balance where crunches will no longer be necessary. This explanation is limited and imprecise, but it is the best that Humans could understand with their intelligence and scientific knowledge.
The vast Universe, which so intrigues man, has mysteries seemingly out of the reach of man. How big is it? Does it have boundaries? Does it go forever, or is it circular? Is it all an illusion? Is it homogeneous throughout? So many questions. Does the Universe have physical boundaries? We do not know, nor are we allowed to know in the density we are in, 4th Density. To us, with our instruments and in our travels, it appears to be boundless. We travel only so much, using home as a base, and limit our travels not because of distance but due to what is known about certain parts of the Universe, which would be poisonous to us. We too use probes, set to take their measures and return. This is the manner by which your Solar System was located, not by us, but by others. If the probe returns with data that indicates an environment that would be poisonous or quickly fatal, we do not, understandably, explore that part of the Universe. Travel by pure thought, which more advanced civilization in 5th density use, does not have these setbacks.
Different sections of the Universe have different compositions. By this we mean the elements are found in different proportions and the resultant chemical reactions that ensue therefore have different characteristics. Some worlds have silicon based life. Some suns emit radiation that is poisonous to us and would be to you also. Those environments contain severe dangers, as silicon based microbes are ones your immune system could not begin to muster a defense against. An analogy we could use is the soil across a terrain. One place is acidic and is covered with moss, another has soil that compacts into rock-like hardness, discouraging probing roots. The variables are many, and any horticulturist will tell you that a wildflower taken from one location could not be expected to grow in another. Just so is the Universe, we have discovered, and the mix of elements that compose the soil in this section of the Universe is our and your niche. Incarnated, we are not allowed, not able, to explore outside this niche.
Beyond some simple statements, we are not at liberty to explain the Universe to humans, as we are restrained by the Rule of Non-Interference and also by our ignorance. For you, it seems that the Universe is limitless, and boundless, and is not an illusion. So be it, as for you that is a reality and in particular the reality which you must live in. It is also the reality which we, the ones you call Greys, must live in, and in truth we do not know that much more about the functioning of the Universe than you do. The Universe holds secrets that we are not allowed to know at this time, at our stage of evolution These questions must go unanswered, for the time being".
