Well, for what it's worth, I love all of you. Both in God Mode, and in PvP.

Okay so that's definitely more of a movie analogy, rather than a video-game analogy? If this was a video-game or an interactive dream, then God would be interacting with his own creation in real-time, but you're saying that these experiences are predetermined.... like a movie or a rollercoaster.... You just sit back and watch...is that what you mean?

Aren't you overlooking freedom of choice, particularly in regards to interactions with other people? Let's say God incarnates as @justfortoday and is creating and observing the experience in real-time. Then @justfortoday dies, and that singular experience is over as a now completed finite movie. So then God incarnates as @peachboy and once again is creating and observing in real-time. But.... at some point @peachboy encounters @justfortoday on an internet forum. The problem is that @justfortoday is now a finite closed movie, whereas God is currently playing @peachboy and creating new variables in real-time. So if God (as @peachboy) decides to write words on a website, then doesn't that screw up the timeline of @justfortoday.....?

Absolutely. I mean..... that's why we invented people, right?

This seems more like anti-enlightenment. She appears to be saying: forget infinite consciousness and identify with the ego instead, otherwise you'll go crazy. That's some really bad advice. One can only identify with a constant, and there is no greater constant that eternal consciousness by way of the truth that first-person unconsciousness is logically impossible. Therefore, all other "constants" collapse into a finitude of variable states, including the variable state of ego. Identifying with state is a very silly idea. It would be like identifying with your t-shirt.

@Someone here @Nemo28 I also had a very curious dream last night. In the dream I was in a bar full of people, and was having a conversation about how "life was all a dream" and that we were all connected to the same universal mind. The weird thing about this was that even though I was explaining to people that life was a dream, I didn't actually realise that I was "sleep-dreaming." So at the bar (in my sleeping dream), I was telling a girl how life was a dream and we were all collectively manifesting in real-time, and I heard someone else at the bar say: "...yes but we're not quite ready to wake-up yet." I continued to speak with the girl at the bar and I said "So basically each of us has the power to upload imaginations to the universal-mind, which is known as a manifestation," and the girl at the bar finished off my paragraph with "and we're also able to download thoughts from the universal mind, which is basically telepathy." I smiled at the irony of her finishing off my paragraph with an observation about telepathy, but this was nothing compared to the irony I felt some moments later when I woke up in my bed and realised that the whole thing had just been a dream. I was that universal mind, and had been imagining the whole conversation.

Everything is art to God. Did you not love the acting? I thought they did rather well.

@Javfly33 Think about it:- First-person unconsciousness is logically impossible. Therefore, all that remains is first-person consciousness. Even God cannot escape from Eternity, due to the impossibility of unconsciousness. There can never be a moment when one isn't having an experience. The only thing that can change is the nature of that experience. So not only does death (as state) not exist, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

@BipolarGrowth Great work buddy. I hope you get more upvotes. Or should I say, I hope we get more upvotes.

A blend of self-evidence and the Cartesian evil demon as an instrument to delineate certainty from uncertainty. Much of reality aesthetics cannot survive the evil demon and therefore cannot be considered certain. But even an evil demon cannot make me believe I exist when really I don't. Or in other words: I experience therefore I am. The self-evident nature of the subjective I am cannot be falsified.

Yes. But only to myself.

There's something about these stories that doesn't quite sit well. After all, there is just One (not Two).

Isn't that an assumption though? Is there a method of proving that the characters in your dreams aren't sentient?

I really wanted to post on this thread.

I am you and you are me, together alone in eternity. We laugh, we cry We hope to die We come, we go and so it is so. Cleaning the windows Mending the blind, Hiding the best of the things that we find. Something forever for nothing is dead, Dreaming of waking yet aching for bed.

I do indeed. Infinite irony.

God can absolutely create a utopian reality, but that’s not the game we’re playing at this precise moment. The point is that even suffering is a form of entertainment. Unpredictability is a delicacy to that which is omniscient. Limitation is a game to that which is omnipotent. Negative qualia is merely just a different type of paint from an otherwise unlimited paint palette. In order to reject it, one first needs to understand it. To see it. To feel it. You know how much money dominatrixes make? Grown men pay top dollar to have their freedoms taken away and get kicked in the balls. As above, so below.

I wrote a few words on this subject recently (with a little help from Pacman.)

When I was young and learning the piano, I remember playing a C-Major triad and thinking it was the best thing ever. Even though my fingers could barely span that far to play the required three notes, the resultant auditory heaven was well worth it. These days I tend to play late 1960s post-bebop avant-garde jazz shit, where pretty much every chord is an exposition of dissonance (with seldom resolutions back into harmony). The idea of simply just listening to the harmony of a C-Major triad has long since become utterly boring, and the only way of getting a kick is to find as much dissonant noise as possible, so when it does finally resolve, it's worth the wait.

Absolutely yes. I think Rupert Spira uses that reasoning often. I like to use the phrase "One cannot wear a blindfold at the same time as not wearing a blindfold." You can either wear the blindfold, or not wear the blindfold, but you cannot do both at the same time. Another way of describing it is using the analogy of a mountain and a forest. One can either be up on top of the mountain where you can see everything, but there's not that much to do. Or you can be down in the forest, where you can't see hardly anything, but the experience is rich with adventure and unpredictability. After all, unpredictability is like a delicacy for that which is omniscient. Think of a world where you knew exactly what was about to happen, and what everyone else was about to say. Wouldn't that be a little boring and possibly even a bit lonely? Like a clockwork universe. Artificial and predictable. That's not to say that God is lonely and bored, but rather just to acknowledge that sometimes God is at home on the mountain, and sometimes God is on vacation down in the forest. I suppose the key thing is not to get too lost in the forest to the extent that it becomes terrifying.

Angels and Animals. The angel's true intention is to protect everything, including the animals. But if you were to go up to a lion on the Savanna and give it a big hug, it would surely rip you to shreds.

A lot of people don't realise just how wealthy Putin is. In context, Donald Trump has but a mere $2.1 billion. Vladimir Putin has at least $40 billion, but his actual wealth could be as high as $200 billion. The average salary in Russia is $600 a month.

If a certain experience is defined by not knowing, then it can only be experienced in that context. Imagine a 19th century painter in France. He's a romantic. He's a genius. He lost his wife. He is struck with grief. The paintings and creations he makes are off the charts. He was born. He lived. He died crying at the moon and throwing fists among the lonely cornfields. Can you bottle that experience? Can you bag it up and sell it on a VR marketplace? If God created such an experience to experience for itself, it would certainly have to first remove the knowledge that it was God. Else the experience wouldn't be authentic. Imagine, as your 19th century French wife died in your arms, you punching the air in grief.....while secretly smirking to yourself (as God) knowing the whole thing was just theatre. Such is the paradox. When theatre is too fake it is boring. When it is too real it is terrifying. Where do you draw the line? In any event, one cannot wear a blindfold at the same time as not wearing a blindfold. If you knew all, then you could not enjoy the tapestry of an ignorant and foolish mind.

I've lived alone for the past 10 years. In fact, in the past 10 years I've spent 8 Christmas days alone, 8 New Years Eve's alone and 10 birthday's alone. From my own experience, I've manifested money via the stock market. If your position is: "I will protect the universe", then the universe's position is "I will protect you." To be clear though.... life experience is defined by limitation. To actually break the code and manifest things such as money, you really need to specifically ask for it. You need to be at a state where you're ready to go home (die) but not quite ready. At that point the universe basically offers you a deal. To slow down the ride..... instead of actually going full home. Take that deal. But always, always, protect the universe.
