@Jkris It was said as a play on words on Einstein's famous quote "Time is a persistent illusion". Likewise the sense of self may or may not be a "persistent illusion".

As Albert Einstein said, "The I-self is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one".

@Aakash @Angelite Have either of you read this book? Akash's above reply reminded me of it.

@Tistepiste Have you been drinking a lot of water?

@khalifa Nothing in reality is an "accident".

@Leo Gura How do you come up with these gems?

The universe as a whole is one sensing organism with each a cell of awareness exploring itself.

@ActualizedDavid Here's a song by The Doors that influanced Charles Manson to have his followers carry out the Sharon Tate murders. Warning some of the lyrics are graphic but it's a good example of musical art expressing the Lucifer side of humanity.

@ajasatya Yea that's a spam ad some-what disguised as a real question.

Meditation would be good. It's very subtle because it has no qualities to it. But it was there to witness your birth and it will be there to witness your death (and everything in between). It is there now silently watching every thought you have.

By staying in the awareness of that part of you (the "I Am") that never changes.
