At the lower end, we have the minimal mathematical principles that make up the ‘theory of everything.’  At the upper end everything converges on the cosmic love.  Then there is the fat middle of the experiential realm where we reside.

Our multitudinously reflected selves create the vast bulk of the cosmos.  How many selves does it take to pull-off one x-event?  Obviously it requires about 10^10 of us.  The pearl creates the grain of sand that ‘irritates’ the cosmic oyster.  The eschaton delivers the pearl.
 
Yes, there is teleology, final causation, and all that.  Our belief in the past, the future, and ourselves keeps the world from vanishing in a puff of smoke.  Culture is not something gratuitous, and MTV is an unmistakable aspect.  The linkage between MTV, Shakespeare, and the x-event are nothing less than profound.  With the eschaton our magical presence expands to overwhelm the abstractions of space and time.  This occurs on an individual basis until the global phase change is catalyzed.  That phase change will not eliminate normal reality, but it will redefine it.  
 
Normal reality is transformed by being reintegrated into the larger reality.  We take our individual gestalt switches and bring them back into our ‘normal’ lives.  Our lives become informed and reformed by the expanded reality.  We realign ourselves around the eschaton and disseminate that dynamo.

At the same time we are relinking with the cosmic mind.  This is mostly done in the form of free and open channeling.  The cosmic mind will also be represented by intermediary beings that will commune with us.  These beings will mostly be artifacts of that link.  They are a buffer between our cosmic self and us.  They ease us into infinite self-awareness.  They will be the most tangible aspects of our expanded reality.  We must be careful about any exploitation.  The karma at that level is easily short-circuited.
