Travel With The Mind

Every man has his mode of transport, something to take them into the world.
Some use a donkey, a tractor or a horse. Some have a fast sports car. Others use the public transport.
However, the ones who go furthest are the ones who travel with their mind.
It takes only one thought to carry the mind around the world.
It takes only another thought to carry it far into space.
From any point it may jump to another.
Distance is no hindrance at all. Another subject or field of study only presents a minor barrier.
So it is, that such man, in his imagination, may create a universe where he himself is god and king.
In this universe he may decide to know it all, and what is not known, is merely soon to be discovered.
Then he is not unlike a rider on a fast horse who gallops over field and through forest in fast pursuit.
But then the rider should be aware of snakes, such as may startle the horse, so that it jumps and the rider falls backwards.
