It's a type of strategy employed by the Higher Self. Fear of the apocalypse often serves as a catalyst for many people's awakening, simply because there's so much the mind can concieve of that could go wrong, and yet, year by year, we find ourselves still alive and well. Repeated cycles of this eventually leads us to the re-remembering that Death is an Illusion, and that All is Well, the foundation of Faith. Give thanks, for Life is What Is. Hallelujah!

I was just wondering about gravity... Why do objects fall to the ground? 🍎

The limit of what humans can be conscious of is at the edge of the Observable Universe or the Cosmic Horizon. From there, we have no idea if there's more and can only assume an Infinite Universe. This is the essence of Faith, to continually become aware of that which is unknown.

The snake is a really really really really really really really long chain of events, thoughts.

You may serve yourself AND serve other-selves simultaneously.

Reality is Unity, but "it" doesn't mind, it's Infinite within Itself. There are billions of humans, though. Humanity as a collective feels quite alone right now, a cry out into the void. Together, We Are All ONE.

God's One Special Snowflake, lemme tell ya...

Awareness. Simple. Awareness. Within awareness, there is awareness of many perceptions within Awareness. Awareness of Light, color, shadow, shape, form. Aware of body. Awareness of thought. Awareness of Self-concept. Before, I would have said I practice Self-Awareness. Because I can see that Awareness is All That Is, and I Am That. Then, All is Self. But the "Self" is often tied up with habitual thoughts, a name, a human appearance, a something that is "doing". But there is Awareness beyond the idea of "Self". So, release the idea of "Self-Awareness", release the idea of a "Self". There will still be Awareness, even if there is not necessarily the usual idea of "Self". Self is simply another concept appearing in Awareness. Let go of ownership. I don't necessarily have to "own" "my" "body", "own" "my" "mind", "own" "my" "Self", "own" "my" "Awareness". Control, too, is simply a concept arising from the idea of there being a self. I don't "control" "myself". Control is concept. Desiring is concept. Doing is concept. Self is concept. Let go of "ownership". Let go of "control". Let go of "wanting". Let go of "doing". Let go of Self. Return to Simple Awareness. Simple.

Reality is mind. These perceptions are all imaginary. Aloneness is conceptal. Oneness is conceptal. Self is conceptual. Let go.

Dreams are dreams within a dream. Dreams have rules! There's a logic to them. There can even be plots, story archs, repeating motifs, laws of physics, etc. They're all transient, fluid, gaseous even, always changing, and temporary. Such is life! Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...!

Love the human

You should probably be learning from every experience and interaction in your life, even if that lesson is through the inversion of whatever is being presented. Learn the ways of love, understanding, patience, compassion, communication, faith. If done properly, this will energize you rather than drain you. Either way, you are free to choose how you learn your lessons as you see fit.

I've spent quite a bit of time conversing with people who are genuinely convinced that the Earth is flat. To someone who has never critically examined the shape of the Earth, their arguments can be quite plausible and convincing, especially to those who distrust academic institutions, and especially since in our day-to-day experience the Earth appears to be flat. However, as someone who grew up with a deep love of Cosmos and the world of astronomy, I am not convinced that thousands of people involved in NASA and the astrophysical studies are trying to purposely fake and cover-up the true shape of the Earth. Rather, I believe scientists are genuinely convinced that we live on a spinning ball of dirt i the middle of an infinite void that mysteriously spawned out of nothing billions of years ago. More importantly, these scientists, and flat eather's alike are also convinced that they are human. In my deepest moments of insight, I saw that this was not the entire story. That the story of humanity was just that, a story, a dream, that I had concieved of and convinced myself of by the eternal cycles of mind. It was also in this insight that I saw the plausibility of the flat earth, because of the direct experience of such in our day-to-day lives (Earth looks flat from the horizon) and the more heady, conceptual nature of the idea of living on a spherical Earth in space. I saw that, in a sense, the Earth ultimately had no shape, for the Earth was just as wibbily-wobbly as my imagination. I saw that I too, had no shape, for what Earth and I truly were is formless. So then, having talked to, and befriended flat earthers (something I would not have been able to do prior to awakening) I began to understand and empathize with their story. Their perception that there's a secret and evil cabal hiding the truth from the public is indeed, delusional, but simultaneously too, I could see how the perception that we live on a floating rock in space, or that we are even human in the first place is similarly delusional. This delusion is, in every case, self-deception, that the mind undergoes willingly. We are far from human, and the shape of the world around us, like our bodies, is not set in stone. Everything is subject to the fluid and ever-changing cycles of perception. There's no devil. There's no secret conspiracy. There's not even an Earth, or humans to stand upon it's surface, round or flat. There's only Infinite Mind. There's only What Is. So then, learn! If you learn anything from a flat eather, learn the depths of delusion that the mind can undergo, and realize, by reflection, the similar ways you have deluded yourself into this narrative of a life lived as a human ape living on a ball floating in space. You may say, ah, but we can observe our hands, and a round Earth, but you miss the fact that it's all a dream, a delusion, a hallucination. Remember that none of these perceptions are the complete picture. They are stories. And stories, nor words, nor ideas, or concepts, can describe the true shape of the Infinite Reality, for there are no bounds, there are no limitations, and there are no shapes. The Infinite Intelligence that we are has played a cosmic joke on us all, and has orchestrated a divine play, in which we are cast in the various roles of being Christian, atheist, muslim, scientist, and flat-earth nutcase, so that together, through genuine and honest communication within and amongst ourselves, we may parallax upon the nature of the truly ineffable nature of nature and create an all-encompassing view in which all perceptions are appreciated as beautiful and unique creations of The Creator. Therefore, be patient, be kind, be accommodating to a variety of worldviews, understanding that we all percieve formlessness from a unique perspective. Always, be compassionate with yourself. ? shanti, shanti, shanti

Bingo! This was the insight I gathered as well. If you can concieve of Reality as a singularity, then you can also concieve of it as a flat plane spanning before you, or whatever shape you so desire!

You're attached to this specific flavor of awakening but God is formless. Something as abstract as "Reality" doesn't mind being single; it's not even human yet. There's not even the concept of self to contrast lack of other self.

Yes, but aloneness is an evolved human survival mechanism. It is the human ego trying to grasp and contexualize the abstract unity of Existence. It comes from the human conception of lack, when God is truly Infinite in all regards. Unity is Infinity.

It's nondual, contiguous, unified. Not necessarily alone, that's moreso a human perception.

There are simply some questions that cannot be answered. Instead, I offer a mantra for meditation: Pure as we begin; Move by will alone. Leave as we come in; Pure as Light, return to One.

When you become nothing, you become everything

Free from what?

“I pray that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast Loved them, as thou hast Loved me.” “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and Loved them even as you Loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you Loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the Love with which you have Loved me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:20–23) “And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.” (Exodus 3:14) "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10) "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." (Psalm 82:6)
