Imho, there is no origin to existence, there is only existence. An origin implies that there was at some point no existence... I have not really found compelling reason to believe that.
We could in a way I guess think of existence as a sphere suspended in a vacuum. A metallic sphere in a completely black room. Our perception is limited to the confines of the surface of this sphere. Depending on where we choose to place ourselves on this surface, the characteristics it has change dramatically. If you make yourself gigantic the surface is incredibly different from when you are atomic.
Every imaginable part of this sphere's surface has it's own "perspective" or frame of experience that interacts with the influential forces that it's "exposed" to at that scale. These scales pile layer on layer on top of each other. Our particular perspective can be then equated to the density of these layers within this network of energy.
I dunno, there's so many ways to look at things. Esp when stoned...
