Perhaps other people are no more or less "real" than you are. They are as people "just content of your Consciousness.." But in awareness, if you (we) are awareness, then so is everyone else... An energy. A consciousness. That that doesn't make us all lamps.... it makes us all on an awareness level, connected energy. The same connected energy. One connected energy. Not separate people. It is not possible for us to be lamps as a lamp is a thing. A labelled thing.

I truly believe we are awareness. Every human is a vessel that carries this Awareness, however, this awareness is far from nothing. It is everything. Pure Consciousness. Marianne Williamson described it this way… If you image a lamp. It gives off light as we all know. But this lamp only gives off light if it is plugged into a power source which, without that, there would be no light. If we identify with the body and mind we are identifying with the lamp, which is an object and has no purpose without the power source. In reality we are the vessel through which the light comes through and through awareness we are connected to the pure energy of conscientiousness. Experiencing life through our human experience. I agree totally that we are not the human we were labelled by other humans when we were born. But is there a greater power at work here, way beyond a human explanation. Where we are all connected. We are all one and the same energy experiencing life. Which continues infinitely, in one dimension or another. Any thoughts?

Just had this book recommended to me by a friend. Anyone read it? What's your thoughts?

Will do. thanks for the suggestion
