God is an infinite potato. The identity is potato, and the state is unified. Or in other words, the identity is Consciousness, and the state is perfect omniscient non-duality. Then one day God, as the perfect infinite potato, decides to chop itself up into a pile of potato chunks. So now we have an infinite pile of potato chunks. I am a potato chunk, you are a potato chunk, the homeless guy down the street is a potato chunk. We are all potato chunks. Crucially, the important part to note is that the identity has not changed. The identity is still potato. All that has changed is the state. The state has changed from being a perfect unified potato, to a pile of potato chunks. I am still potato, merely now in the form of a potato chunk. Or in other words, the identity of each potato chunk is still God Consciousness, but the state has changed from being perfect omniscient non-duality, to seemingly separated monads of non-omniscience. We can assume God did this to go on vacation from non-omniscience. (Are we having fun yet?) Until we return home (that fateful day of the reconstituted potato) we must take care of the entire potato, while the potato is fast asleep to its true identity. Get that one thing right, and you are free to enjoy the rest of the vacation. Protect the potato, and enjoy the vacation. Protect the potato, and enjoy the vacation. Protect the potato! PROTECT THE POTATO!

Your motivation is that by the time eternity is done you will have lived every life from birth to death, of every human and every animal, and every other archetype limited by your own imagination. If you cannot feel the love, at least recognise that you will ultimately experience everything.....in total isolation. As a whole yes, but also one by one. Every single rebirth. Sometimes love is full of love, and sometimes love is a place where compassion and wisdom are one. Or to put it another way, if you care more about yourself than the homeless guy down the street, then you're doing it wrong. You are the homeless guy down the street, just at a different point in eternity. That's your motivation.

What if one was to substitute the word family for the word country? Or for people, or race, or bloodline....etc. I find the concept of family to be particularly strange. I get that some people find the neurochemical bonds to famiy as natural, but something being natural doesn't excuse it from being a manifestation of ignorance. After all, many animalistic pursuits can be considered to be natural, but that doesn't mean that they're not a problem. Tribal sentiment (and conflict) is historically the belief in another identity, where clearly there is only the One identity. You said: - One can love everyone, but have a particular love for their family. Now let's change up the variables and redraw it:- One can love everyone, but have a particular love for their race. Don't you find that statement problematic? What is the difference between family, tribe, race, country?

If Infinite Love is the base, when someone says "I love my family" surely what they're actually saying is, "I no longer love the others." Far from "I love my family" being a statement of beauty, is it actually a statement of subtraction? Jesus said: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. - Matthew 10:34–36 Perhaps that's what he meant. The total disintegration of discriminative love / group preference, predicated on the understanding that we are all one.

Imagine listening to every piece of music on the Spotify library at the same time. It would simultaneously be everything and nothing. Like white noise, the key point is that there is no form, or in other words infinite. All that remains is potential, which itself is infinite and unlimited. Like a formless infinite block of clay. It is both nothing (without distinction to anything else) and simultaneously everything.

1. There is no such thing as first-person un-consciousness. Therefore all that remains is first-person consciousness.

Awareness cannot move as it is infinite formlessness. It is not contained with the body, but rather the body contained within awareness. It has no opposite, as there is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness. Therefore all that can change is state. I suspect we are periodically bouncing between the omniscience state and the non-omniscience states, but due to the nature of non-omniscience literally defined as ignorance, it's tricky to know for certain at least until we return to omniscience. The only thing we can know for certain is that there is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness. There will never be a moment where one is not having an experience. All that can change is the nature of that experience.

It's also worth pointing out that telepathy is essentially an exercise in downloading from the collective consciousness. You also have the ability to upload into the collective consciousness too. (e.g manifestation). This begs the question: When you have a telepathic thought, are you downloading or are you actually uploading?

What is the one thing a limitless omniscient being does not have? Non-omniscience. In order for you to experience non-omniscience, you have to temporarily say goodbye to your omniscience. You cannot have both at the same time. One cannot wear a blindfold at the same time as not wearing a blindfold. Therefore, you are God on vacation from being God. If you genuinely want to go home, then you need to be clear about it. Otherwise enjoy your vacation, and respect the fact that the vacation is defined by limitation and not-knowing. Pro-tip: On the other hand, use some cheat-codes and manifest anything you like until you get bored.

Would you protect a small vulnerable animal or a child in need if you could? There are two yous. There is the you that is the video game character, and the you that is the player. The you that is suffering is the you that is the character, not the player. Are you, as the player, just going to abandon the character, just because the game's not going as you want it to? Do you not feel, as player, you have a duty of care towards the character, like you have a duty of care to a small vulnerable animal or a child in need? The character isn't you, but you as player have a duty of care towards your character. You could even think of it as your own child. That person you see in the mirror: Look after it. Do the best you can. But never abandon it.

Thanks for posting. Never heard of this guy before. Very good.

First, start with the logical certainty that unconsciousness cannot manifest in the first-person. There is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness. In the absence of first-person unconsciousness, all that remains is first-person consciousness. Or in other words, there can never be a moment when you're not having an experience. All that can change is the nature of that experience. That is true without end, and without beginning, and transcendental of time. It is simply not possible to experience a lack of experience. So when it comes to understanding who you are, there are clearly two parts: a part that is eternally constant, and a part that has the potential to change. The question is, which part should you identify with? The entire definition of identity is predicated on a constant, as there is no such thing as variable identity. Therefore, when looking for a true identity, it makes no sense to identify with anything other than a constant, and in this case the constant is the constant nature of your consciousness. Therefore the two parts of your being can be expressed in terms of both identity and state. Your identity is your eternal consciousness, and your current state is the particular incarnation of experience presently being experienced (commonly and erroneously known as personal identity). Clearly, given that consciousness is eternal, the nature of your true identity is eternal. Or in other words, your true age is infinity. You have never not existed. For that reason, there is no need for a creator. Consciousness doesn't have to be created by anything, simply because it is fundamental. It has no opposite. Death is merely the opposite of birth, not the opposite of life. Science and religion often makes the mistake of assuming that something came from nothing, but in reality there is no such thing as nothing, as there is always consciousness which has the imaginative potential to manifest anything. Consequently the starting proposition is false: Nothingness is not fundamental. Everythingness is fundamental. That is to say, you start with everything and simply work backwards. Life is an exercise in subtractive synthesis. We are not creating stuff, we are simply filtering stuff out. We start with an infinite block of clay (everythingness) and filter and filter and filter until we have a clay figurine. When the clay figurine dies, the clay does not turn back into nothing, but rather the surrounding nothing, turns back into clay. Comprehend all of that, and then just simply substitute the word Consciousness for the word God, and your Grandad's good to go.

1. God wants to go on vacation from being God. 2. God realises such a vacation implies ignorance. 3. God (worried about becoming eternally ignorant) imagines a fail safe mechanism for a safe return home. 4. God also realises God could realise God is God while ignorant. 5. God (worried about realising God is God while ignorant) imagines a fail safe mechanism for a stable existence on vacation. 6. God invents brain. 7. Hitler invades Poland.

A MAN WALKS INTO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE DOCTOR: "How can I help you today?" MAN: "I keep forgetting I'm God." DOCTOR: ...

Never alone, merely all-one.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the responses. Yep. If life has a meaning then it's right there in that sentence. I agree. It seems these days like we're standing on the precipice of a nightmare. Definitely time to reign it back a little.

Could someone post the name of the video and channel so I could look it up? The link is null for me.

God is first-person consciousness. The opposite of first-person consciousness is first-person unconsciousness. There is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness. Therefore all that remains is first-person consciousness. Therefore all that exists is God. It's not created by anything. It's fundamental by way of the logic there is no opposite.

Divinity is easily found but sovereignty takes work. When divinity and sovereignty is out of alignment you will definitely lose your mind. Sit within your own divinity. Take control of the controls and control it. You don't need advice on how to be God.

When one decides to go to war with the Cartesian Evil Demon, it's worth pondering to what extent she can raise her game. Have you dropped the ball recently? Did you remember to cross the Ts and dot the Is? A lot of conjecture can be thrown around as if true; we can take it to the bank and celebrate, only to wake up and find ourselves staring down the barrel of the gun while the evil demon smirks. Oh shit, I screwed up and didn't even see it. For me, it seems absolute to say that unconsciousness cannot manifest in the first-person. There is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness. Therefore all that remains is consciousness. There can never be a moment when one is not having an experience. All that can change is the nature of that experience. An existence without beginning, without end, and transcendental of time itself. In view of the evil demon, omnipotence is not the problem. We have known non-omnipotence, and one day we may experience it again. Just as someone develops Alzheimers, all that work, all that knowledge and wisdom, all that Enlightenment....all gone. And suddenly we are back in the nebithera of ignorance again. To those who have the ability to understand, and the ability to pass on understanding, what is your strategy for navigating eternity? I have a saying: "If you care more about your own mother than the homeless person down the street, then you're doing it wrong". Why? Because while I can prove that I am eternal, I cannot prove that I am not the homeless person down the street, and therefore I should assume that I am also the homeless person down the street that currently is at a different point in eternity. After all, there is no escape from eternity. Even that which is omniscient cannot escape. Ever. I will assume that I am everything. I will assume that by the time eternity is done (!!) I will have experienced every experience there is to possibly experience limited only by imagination. I will be every human, animal, male, female, black, white. All of the things. I will prepare for Hiroshima, Auschwitz, every kitchen-sink drama, every homelessness, every animal slaughter, every rape and house-fire. All of the bad things, and all of the good things. I will take the strain, because I have no choice. To do otherwise would be to deny the consciousness in others, which as eternal strategy we must assume to be the consciousness in us, merely at a different point in eternity. Perhaps if we can teach this... perhaps if we can adopt eternal strategy as fundamental, while we move toward turquoise... we can accelerate true empathy. A place where compassion and wisdom are one.

Unconsciousness cannot manifest in the first-person. There is no such thing as first-person unconsciousness.... therefore all that remains is consciousness. There will never be a moment when you're not having an experience. All that can change is the nature of that experience. That is true without end, and without beginning, and transcendental of time.

Imagine you're playing a video game. In that game you visit a hospital. In the hospital, Dr Murphy tells you that you have a tumor on the brain, and cancer in the lungs. Given that you're playing a video game, is the illness true? Or does it just come down to pixels and computer code?

@ivankiss As long as I can remember I've always been plagued by a little voice in my head replaying the same statement over and over: "If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?" As a teenager, lost in ignorance, the voice would come in at the most randomest of moments: "If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?". I would ignore it, rationalising it to neurochemical chaos. In my twenties, again it would persist. I would be walking along, minding my own business, and suddenly out of the blue: "If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?". Once again I would ignore. Throughout my thirties the voice would continue, popping up at the most irregular of times: "If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?". Finally in my forties, after discovering my divinity and experimenting with manifestation, and knowing that voice to be the I AM of my eternal soul it would again sound: "If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?". And for the first time, I replied back: "No.... If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?" And the voice said "I'd be you." And I smiled the biggest smile.
