Take a big sheet of paper. That's the universe, the omniverse-- everything that has and ever will exist, every consciousness, everything perceived by every consciousness.
Now wad it up into a little ball. That's the Earth.
What we perceive as the Earth, as our home planet, as the extent of human exploration, is that ball. There are no other "planets" or alien inhabitants thereof. Everything is focused into that little ball.
Keep squishing that ball, down to a marble of paper, denser to a tiny spitwad, down to nothing physical at all. Everything is that point. Everything is a point, a singularity of reality.
