This whole thread is one big WTF.

Yeah, thanks for sharing!

That’s called Materialist brainwashing - in your direct experience do you see photons, optic nerves, rods / cones, a brain? Your experience as reality is direct. Without any intermediaries. You and the color green are the same being through two forms. These forms or colors are appearing in you.

I’m here reading a wiki on the “Force” in Star Wars, and you’d think that they’re defining Consciousness. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Force/Legends “Metaphysical field that surrounds and lives through all beings”.... ?

You know what it is? My expectations were so low after 1-3 that I just thought it as mindless entertainment. Everything you point out here is a great analysis. The characters did fall flat - especially on Chapter 8.

Why are you guys shitting on episodes 7-9? I thought they were dope!

Also, episodes 1-3 really are terrible.

Yeah seems like he copied a lot. Consciousness is so fucking epic - thanks for reminding us of it.

And with you. ❤️

Really? Is that on a post here in the forum?

God is the only word that comes close to describing what you really are, which is infinity itself.

Dude. Really? Youre clearly projecting here.

The color green is not something you see. It exists by itself, as a perception happening to empty space itself. You’ve never seen color, color just is by itself. In empty space.

Yep. Couldn’t have said it better myself. OH WAIT. You are me. ?

Yeah I like that analogy. Also, when you “dream” how do you know that the characters you dreamt up did not have an existence of their own, just like you do in this dream? A dream, couched inside a dream, inside a dream, etc.

Fair enough. There is ONE instance of the color green and it’s not happening inside your brain. Everything you hear and see is exactly as it is. The colors you see are suspended in nothingness. The “universe” is perceiving itself. Neither you nor your friend have an instance of the color green. The color green is just floating in the vacuum of empty space. You aren’t experiencing sounds and colors - they are BEING for themselves. The reason you know them is because the “air” or the “space” around you is what is actually conscious. Not your ego. When you “walk” or move your body, it is not your body that is experiencing reality, it’s the space that wraps around you. You get it?

Let me go further, this could help. You and your friend are looking at the same leaf, for example. This leaf is green. Are there two instances of the color green? One yours and one in your friends brain?

The observer or self in you, is the same self as in me. Lets drop your ego for a second. Ego is not real. Infinity means that every possible thing that could ever happened, happened - independent of time and space. So you as god are going through each life and playing it like a movie. So yes, if you are reading this, the “self” in you is all there is. That and your imagination.

This is a non answer.

A true non-dual state feels like you “popped” out of reality and you see what’s in front of you as a projection. So imagine the scene right now, suddenly you realize it is a painting, and you step outside the painting and look at it directly. You can see the “void” around your bubble of perception, and then you realize that everything in your direct experience is a flat, dimensionless projection emanating from you, nothingness. Its like realizing you’ve had a 360 degree screen wrapping around you your entire life. I’ve experienced this many times, and it is incredible. Truly remarkable.

@r0ckyreed I’ll put it out plainly and simply. Reality is a VR experience that infinite imagination/god created to experience connection and to share it’s own love. Solipsism is true in the absolute because all the people you meet are you, past and future incarnations of yourself.

Solipsism is true. It’s just that the general definition of solipsism is too narrow.

You’re saying the ego is an “experience”. The ego is false. Therefore, it is possible to experience falsehood. Unless you think the ego is truth.

Of course it is. What is the ego then?

@Mvrs Everyone you encounter in your life is simply a past or future incarnation of your own being, but manifesting as the now. So yes, it's just you, but not the "you" that thinks it is a human being. You are pure subjectivity. All people you meet have egos and internal monologues, if that is what you're asking. Solipsism in the absolute is true. That pure subjectivity could not bear to exist by itself in a void, so in its infinite wisdom it split off into infinite parts to experience duality. Infinity created this VR experience for itself. Non-existence is impossible. It IS nothing. It's required.
