Sempiternity

Spot on. Someone had to say it.

Perfect example.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Perfect example.

Very well written and thoughtful write-up! I'm impressed. This forum seems to not value intelligent conversation or viewpoints, but seems more a place that people like to argue. I am a hardcore Solipsist. It's the way I see everything, as it's just the most logical conclusion, to me, of what This is all about (verified by many Spiritual God-Consciousness Awakenings). It's the way of seeing reality that, for me, leads to the best possible version of reality. It all being One is unity, it collapses the separateness and disconnect. Unity=Love. To me, it's all Self, and Self-Love is to love all of it as Self. Not I love this, but not that, but love it all equally. And it brings my world down to just this, what is being experienced in Direct Experience, right Now. To me, there is nothing else than this, this right Now. So to me, this, whatever this is Now, is the greatest moment that has ever existed, as it's the only moment that exists. Always Now, no Past, nothing to compare to, no suffering (as suffering is to compare Now to something else), just awe and wonderment at the miracle that is Now/Reality/Being/God/Self. So whether it is true is somewhat irrelevant to me. Solipsism is by far the best way to view Reality for me. Solipsism is Peace, is Love. And I appreciate thoughtful counter-debates like yours, as it keeps me looking at and pondering different viewpoints. Thank you for your post 🙏

I agree with everything here. But don't necessarily agree with this part. God is Consciousness, and Consciousness is the same as Being, and being is what is Now. Being =Awareness=Consciousness=Direct experience=Reality= God=All that there is=Now. Anything is possible. God can create itself to be anything. But if it's not within Consciousness (which is God), those possibilities remain possibilities, and not God creating itself to be that possibility.

Well, yes, everything Now is already rendered and is infinity. From above: Everything has to be present within God's consciousness. There can't be anything outside of God's mind, or outside of God's consciousness, because God's mind is infinite and everything. It's complete self-knowing and self-understanding. If it is not being experienced in God’s consciousness, it does not exist. God has 100 percent direct access to the all of Consciousness. And the only thing in God’s consciousness is this, this right Now.

Look at a TV screen. There's only what is currently on the screen. There is no past or future to what's on the screen, there's just what's rendered on the screen Now. The only way there can be a "past" to what's on the screen, is if you imagine it as a thought. Reality is like this, just what's being rendered Now.

Change implies then and now. Reality can have the appearance of things moving, but it's still only Now. To have change, there needs to be a past for which you're comparing to Now (*see detailed explanation above). That past can only exist as a thought, and that thought can only exist Now.

To answer what is Time, one must answer "what is Now?" and "what is God?". What is God? God is a singular infinite sentient field of Consciousness. God is infinite intelligence, eternal Consciousness. God creates itself to be Reality. God is completely sovereign. Everything has to be present within God's consciousness. There can't be anything outside of God's mind, or outside of God's consciousness, because God's mind is infinite and everything. It's complete self-knowing and self-understanding. If it is not being experienced in God’s consciousness, it can not exist. God has 100 percent direct access to the all of Consciousness. And the only thing in God’s consciousness is this, this right Now. Absolute experience. Absolute Being. What is Now? Now is God, which is infinite intelligence. It's creating the all of reality right Now, the story of what this first person perspective (human) is, what it's thinking, what it's feeling, the story of how it got here, the story of what it's doing and why, the story of what it did 10 minutes ago or 1 day ago or 1 year ago, all right Now. Stories upon stories upon stories, backstories to the backstories, all created Now. How can it create all that all right Now? It is Infinite Intelligence, of course it can create all that, all of existence, right Now. It doesn't need infinite "thens" (history/the past), when it can create it all right Now. And that's irrelevant, because God cannot be two things. Nothing can exist outside of God, because God is everything. So God cannot be then and now. God can only be Now. If God was then, then would be now. So it can only be Now. Time is "other". Then and someday, are concepts created Now. God has to be something, as it is all that there is. It can be infinite formless consciousness, or it can make itself into form (Reality), make itself forget what it is and that it created it, so it can get lost in the dream, thinking it's real, so it can experience what "other" is like. This right Now, this is what it is creating. It can be anything, but this is what it is. God has to exist precisely as it exists right now. And if it existed as something else, it would exist that way, not this way, and it would have to be that way, rather than this way. This right Now is the only thing that exists. As this right Now is God. Now will always be Now, the eternal Now. When God is "awake", being infinite Being, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, there is no "Time". "Time" is a construct of the illusion of reality, so reality seems real. When God is awake from being lost in the dream of reality, Infinite Consciousness experiences itself as Eternal. ---------------------------- What are the benefits of Now being all that there is? This brings your world down to just this, what is in Direct Experience. Just what is Now. No Past, No Future, only Now. You don’t have to worry about anything outside of Now. Sure, there is still your life, and everything in it. The people in your life, your relationships, your work, your passions, you may still have struggles. You still will be working towards a future. But, bringing your world down to just Now, whatever it is Now, is now more manageable, yes? There is no Past that dictates Now. You can be completely free from your Past. The entirety of your Past is fantasy, is concept. Your Past can only exist Now, as a thought, and can you choose your thoughts, so you can choose your Past. You can create the stories that serve you best. Who you are Now is completely independent, as Now is all that there is. Experience this present moment as though it's existed, by itself, independent of any prior moments that you might be imagining, because prior moments are fantasy. There are no prior moments. Just this, as it right Now. -------------------------------- Awareness can only happen Now. Being can only happen Now. Consciousness can only happen Now. Direct experience is equal to Being, is equal to Awareness, is equal to Consciousness, is equal to Reality, is equal to God, is equal to Now, is equal to All that there is. It's all One, it's all synonymous for God. God = Now. So Now is all that there is.

It's all created Now. 'Before' is a concept that can occur Now. Now has no beginning and no end, it is the eternal Now. Now is God's imagination. God is imagining for eternity. Reality IS nothing. Something and nothing are the same thing. A dream has no substance, only the appearance of substance. A dream is Mind/Imagination/Consciousness. Reality is being created instantaneously by infinite intelligence.

God designs itself to be what is Now. It is exactly as it as it wants to be, and can't be anything other than it is. If it was other than it is, it would be that, and not this. There is limitless potential, and this is what is created. It is as it's designed to be. Concepts of how it can be different are fantasies, created by God, as part of the reality it designed.

1) If you are in "God Mode" there is no reality, only infinite formless consciousness. 2) Everything within consciousness is the same thing. A wall, or grass, is just as much a miracle as flying. It's all something from nothing. It's a miracle anything at all exists. So see that anything and everything in reality is equally a miracle.

Thanks!

People on this forum are just reflections of Self, just some seem more ignorant than "others" Yes, exactly.
