Could be for sure. In Hinduism, from what I understand, before the big bang there was one being that was the whole universe in one place, called Brahman. Then Brahman split itself into the multiplicities of everything and we are all just pieces of that one being. Maybe, eventually, after all the stars die out, we will be whole again. It's a cool idea I think.
I heard of the Brahman before, thanks for providing additional info. Time to read up!
And yeah, once there’s no relative light or darkness anymore, there just is. And that’s maybe where the “big bang” re-occurs. Or something.
I’ve had some… ahem… “visions” that showed me this cycle. Consciousness can’t say something is something without there being nothing. Light CAN’T exist without dark, and vice versa. So if there’s only “dark”, wtf is dark? The absence of light, right? But there’s no concept of light! So let there be light.
Exactly, exactly. I'd recommend reading The Uppanishads translated by Eknath Easwaran for more about the Brahman idea. Thats how I learned about it.
