Yes she did.

@Jack River It all a singularity - "the infinite snapshot".

Nothing short of an infinite snapshot! -There's a paradox for the masses.

Exactly. It stops dead in it's tracks. The loop is broken.

@Jack River This is a bit hard to explain but sometimes reality/consciounseness becomes so perfectly focused, I mean like focused to infinity, that it ceases to exist. As if existance is only a diffusion pattern of true reality.

And then some. The picture show continues but who is really watching?

@Jack River The sense of self acts as a diffusion filter put in front of a perfectly clear lens.

The illusion of self is imposed over awareness and therfore everyting in reality is seen through that filter.

You got that right. Not excluding even illusion when it's present.

@GabeN It means being conscious or aware of consciounseness itself. Most ppl place awareness on the thoughts and experiences that arise within consciousness while ignoring consciousness itself. Consciousness is primary in all this.

@Fairy I tried as you suggested but nothing revealed itself. This was taken just before they thawed me out.

@Jack Walter Leon First I'd like to say welcome to the forum. Your asking about something that can't be proven either way. But that being said here's my take on it. The "essence" of each of us remains in an unmanifest state eternally. Everything in existence has an essence.

@nado That was the words Jesus spoke when hung on the cross. Maybe the message for humanity was that they were living a life of duality. Killing the flesh will never kill truth.

God can't be seen because God is the seer.

Who asked?

@Girzo That wouldn't suprise me at all. I've experianced reality as being flat field from time to time. It happens suddenly without a thought.

@Rilles Like cutting in your baby teeth it only hurts for a short while. But such is growth. @Jordan Welsh This too shall pass.

@Jordan Welsh Type in "Ego Backlashes" in the search menu.

Good point. And not just stars but also emission nebula abundent in hydrogen alpha. Than there is infared, x-ray, ect. The stars seen with the naked eye only represent the "white light" portion of what is there.

And xyz coordinates is science. A human tool.

@Roman Edouard Where is the universe located?

@Truth Addict That's where the real magic starts to happen. When the world of seperate forms collapse and is reveiled as being of one substratum.

@Inliytened1 Here's something a little different. Check out a Rush cover band called "Dream Theater" doing Xanadu from the Fairwell to Kings album.

@Jack River The illusory nature of reality is everywhere the mind goes. Most won't leave home without it.
