Tyler Durden

@GreenWoods Interesting answers. Do you consider pantheism to be the closest explanation for the true nature of God?

Infinite void.

God creates everything while forgetting about that fact to make the experience more interesting. Mechanisms in which it does that are hidden for that reason.

I agree with you, there should always be a dose of skepticism about that. But many spiritual things that he says seem to resonate with things that are being discussed here. Maybe he came to the wrong conlusions and went into conspiracy territory instedad of becoming a spiritual teacher.

I know that David Icke is mostly known for his conspiracy theories but I discovered that he also has some really interesting opinions about spirituality. Icke believes that time is an illusion; there is no past, or future, and only the "infinite now" is real, and that humans are an aspect of consciousness, or infinite awareness, which he describes as "all that there is, has been, and ever can be". We are imprisoned in the realms of the five senses and "little me" when we are All That is. We identify self with our body and our name, when these are only vehicles and symbols for what we really are. Do this opinions sound awaken to you?

@Fearless_Bum It seems that he really had a profound spiritual experience in Peru in 1991. His life really changed completely after that. I guess it was genuine and not something fake. He had an option to continue living a normal life and not get label as lunatic by mainstream media but he decided otherwise. That's a sign of a big shift in his thinking. @cookiemonster Yes, I agree, his conspiracy theories are not compatible with spiritual awakening. Things he says about global elite vs regular people are based in duality. That kind of thinking should be transcended after you realise God.

@Consept Yes, he seems like an interesting person. Saying that he's a Son of God on a public television seems like a complete lunacy but to us here, it can be a sign of awakening experience. That part of his life should be researched more to see what insights does he possess and conspiracy theories should be put to the side.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If he became awake to the true nature of reality, then conspiracy theories don't make much sense because God is everything and there can't be any deeper secret behind that.

@Inception Amazing insights. Only God exists and everything is God. Divine solipsism ?

You're dreaming the entire time. Otherwise you would just be pure conciousness inside a void.

@BenG Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out. @Nahm During one manic episode, I was full of energy, I felt it going through my entire body. Everything around me was bright and vivid, I felt connected to everything. As all of that was happening, I had a mystical experience in which I realised that I'm God. I know people usually have those experiences on psychedelics or with meditation but I guess my path was different but with similar conclusions in the end.

@Loba Can you have any control over it? @Shin Yes but night dreams are easier to control once you become lucid. @JuliusCaesar What do you mean by something outside of myself? Am I not the whole of reality?

Manic episode I know the conciousness is always the same but it can appear in many different forms. I was wondering did it ever materialise as completely different reality than it's now.

And they say a virgin birth is a myth ?

@BenG Well, you're right, God is imagining both Ben and Tyler, but in reality they are the same. It's just an illusion of duality that makes us think there are two separate persons talking to each other. It's actually just God talking to itself the entire time.

So his decision to not have sex is already predetermined?

Yes, I want to know did God had other dreams in which we used some other avatars for first person experience.

I see what you're saying but it's hard to accept the fact that I'm here for eternity in this form. I thought I was formless void at first and then transformed into universe but that would imply existence of time.

My form also changes but wherever it goes, reality goes with it. Even though movement is an illusion but you know what I mean.

But I'm having a POV from this particular form only. All other forms come and go, this one is always present.

Everybody is a virgin basically ?

@Shin I understand what you are saying but when I wake up in the morning I still have memories of the previous day. That's not the case with possible previous lives. @BenG I think that I'm God using this human form to experience itself. I was just wondering did I also use any other forms to do the same.

It feels like it's first but I'm not completely sure. If time is an illusion and present moment is all there is, that would favour the option of being the first and only incarnation.

The concept of "nothing comes from nothing" is a philosophical statement first argued by Parmenides in Ancient Greece, but the idea is universal: there is no break between a world that did not exist and one that does, since the world that exists could not be created. Was Parmenides really close to explaining the true nature of reality with his thinking?

Is it possible to become lucid inside this waking dream?
