Tiny Observation Ive noticed

[electroBeam]

There's a teaching which says that no others exist.

No others exist... yet isn't it a delight to talk to someone?

No others exist... yet don't you feel love for them?

No others exist... yet you sure want to help them.

And if no others exist, it sort of implies that you have the monopoly on reality... because you know I AM GOD. So therefore I am the truth and everyone else is false. All those people are false while I am true. I must know more than them because I am God... But that doesn't really feel right does it?

And is that really the perspective you want to adopt anyway? Its sort disconnecting, a lack of heart towards other beings.

And besides if you have a monopoly on reality, because you're god, the only thing that exists, why can't you control the dream? If you truly do have a monopoly on truth, if you really are God, then go turn me into a lizard now  Go make Trump disappear. Etc.

But if you look closely, you can't really find evidence that these other beings don't exist.

Rather what you *might* find, is each person might actually exist... but exist as a silhouette of a division of consciousness... as if the present moment is a broken glass panel. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Broken_glass.jpg

And each person is a representation of a division. 

You can look at all of us, your mum, dad... are they really not existing? Or are they existing as just a segment or division of the present moment?

And when the representation dies, maybe they just come back to you. Like they are a rubber band stretched out from that fragment aspect of yourself, and death is just cutting the band so they fling back to you. Is it really that bad if a loved one dies? Maybe you can actually feel more love for them when they do die because they merge with you lol.

I don't know, I'm probably full of shit... but this perspective is definitely much nicer, because it gives you the freedom to know why you can't control the dream(because everyone, all of those segments of consciousness all take part in controlling the dream, not just the segment you're inhabiting), and why you feel love for others when apparently they don't exist. And why its possible to still learn from others even though they are you, and why its still ok to communicate with others. And it gives you a better understanding of the significance of getting along with others... maybe we are all just segments of consciousness communicating to each other. And it gives(not a lot tbh) a tiny bit of clarity of what happens when the mind and body dies... flinging back from wherever you are, right into the heart of that segment.

Instead of I am god, maybe its we are god. And instead of it being I am the creator... maybe its we are the creator. If you really are the creator, then turn me into a lizard... of course you can't because all of the segments of the present moment are all taking a small part in the creation process... If you want to be the creator... as in you instead of us... then you need to communicate with all those segments and get them all synchronised so that we all create in synchrony... which is a pipe dream but nice to dream.
