Ken Wilber ain't helping him here.

If God is truly God it could create itself from nothing. And there you have it. The answer to whether the chicken or the egg comes first. God is the ultimate strange loop. Creating itself from nothing. So you are right. Nothing and God must be identical.

It would be easy to accept that atoms created me and this universe . In the materialist paradigm. But that would mean that atoms created the universe. With no better explanation than the big bang for starting everything. If we question the big bang we are questioning God. Haha

The great physicists did. Bohr did. In the end he became a mystic. Einstein did at the very end.

Well. First a worldview should be established. Yeah? I mean. Materialism claims dreams happen within the brain.

My post was more why this dream above others. Yes. This thing is real. And its detailed. But as @Elliot eloquently points out it could be one among an infinite amount of others. So why is this one special.

Good catch. I meant you not we. Are you experiencing infinite dreams. Well. God is a Master. So he can make you forget your past dream. Imagine this particular reality was a dream but that you had memories of all the past dreams. How could you have any sanity.

I'm deathly afraid of AI labor. 😀

Do you believe then that we will live an infinite number of dreams and lives?

But there is something special about this one. Why.

I didn't mean to post this in the dating section can a mod move it.

Gonna wait for the robotic girlfriend.

No selfish guy should be alone again.

Less is more 😀 now you are catching on. You see..the beauty of reality is its simplicity. It's right before you! So stop trying to pile on equations and formulas. Its right here.

Bro, you can imagine anything is conscious and it will be. Don't you see? The only thing conscious is what is before you now. Everything else can never be proven. Or ever will be. And ever means it will never be.

@Nick_98 you can't understand God. But you can be God

That's not a void that's the gateless gate. Red is red.

That's because there is no void. The void is your fear of death

Because Consciousness is Absolute. You said it yourself. It can do that..but ultimately its imaginary. It's real just as long as you are imagining it to be real.

@Breakingthewall Awakening is like a chameleon. It can appear in different ways to different people. But it is Awakening nonetheless. There's no right way. Psychedelics. Meditation. Whatever. Just as long as you find the holy grail.

That works too 😀

If electrical signals in the brain produced consciousness than why couldnt this be reproduced within a robot. That's how absurd Materialism is.

Not really. Jews finally stand up for themselves and everybody cries about how bad they are. See it from a Jew's point of view. And BTW, we never claimed we were the chosen peeps did we? Perhaps God did in the Bible? I don't know. I'm still trying to get through the Bible.

Awesome.

Powerful. And I'm sorry that happened. That must have been crushing. But yes. The trick, though. Is the letting go of the self. For me it was a sudden realization that it wasn't real. Via self inquiry. I forgot to mention that and goshdarn that was actually the most paramount meditation technique I used. I realized that who I thought I was was a soul. And image in my mind. But these were thoughts. They cannot be real anywhere. They weren't me. And that's when Awakening dawned.
