@Nahm This was exceptionally helpful and insightful, much thanks. You read my mind on a lot of stuff..... And I will look into Abraham Hicks as I already have with Austin mechanics which are fascinating. I’d say most helpful though - ‘There’s ice, but ice is water.’ Fuck that gave me chills. Maybe it was the metaphor or maybe it was the ice. Thank you again.

@Inliytened1 Thank you! I did have a few minor insights into nothingness. Nothing (lol) sustainable yet though. The most obvious one I had was on a mushroom trip and I was just laying in a hammock in the middle of the woods - I was feeling my whole body along with the universe seem to just evaporate into nothing. Sort of freaked me out but I ended up just trying to embrace it and let go.

@RichnNL All of these other answers seem true but like too much to me lol. I see it as much more straight forward. Tell rationalist simply: There can only be one EVERYTHING. If you say there’s two you were not including it all.

@Name I agree that there can be a problem with using the ‘you’re not enlightened’ or ‘you’re not enlightened enough’ argument. Seems to be that even if that is true and there is some ‘level above’ our current mode of thought, this is still an argument from authority and if the cause of such an argument is true - then perhaps the reasoning should be elaborated upon, rather just putting the foot down and saying, essentially, ‘you could not possibly understand.’ Some guidance, at least, should be given granted there is such a disconnect between views and one person is ‘so above’ the other. Nonetheless, maybe the point of this video was missed. Some people believe reproduction is the meaning of life and structure their being around having kids. In suggestion, the ‘God mode perspective’ was used here to provide some dissonance and/or options from such a silly perspective. Also overpopulation could become an issue. So there’s that - but people can still do what they please. Have the kids, don’t have the kids. In the grand scheme it won’t matter; that could be all that was trying to be said (with exaggeration (or something similar) to, again, provide dissonance to those who may believe that reproduction is the meaning of life).
