God is a being that is whatever it imagines itself to be. God’s imagination of itself is infinitely particular. God doesn’t just imagine that it is a generic human being living on a planet, God imagines that it is a specific human being, at a specific point in time, born to a specific family, with a specific personality structure, with specific memories, with specific desires, with specific limitations. God is imagining your exact psyche down to every thought, desire, fear, memory you have. God is literally imagining your self, your life, down to every last detail. God specifically hallucinates that it is you. That’s what you are.
“I’m a guy who runs a business”, “I’m a girl who has a family”, “I’m a scientist at Harvard”, "I'm a Jew living in Israel" — That’s what God is hallucinating!
God hallucinates that it’s Taylor Swift. God hallucinates Taylor Swift’s lifestyle and psyche precisely. That’s what Taylor Swift is! Taylor Swift is a hallucination! Imagine if people were like video game cartridges that you could pop into a GameBoy to play the game of being that person. God takes the Taylor Swift cartridge, pops it into the GameBoy, and spends 100 years playing Taylor Swift. What does the Taylor Swift game actually consist of? It consists of her entire psyche, her sanity, her memories, her mind, her world, her personality, her model of reality, her self-image. To be Taylor Swift is to imagine you are Taylor Swift so fully that you ARE Taylor Swift! Do you fathom how fucking profound this is?
The most ingenious aspect of what God does is not creating a world, it is hallucinating the entire Taylor Swift psyche. If you had enough imagination to conceive the Taylor Swift psyche perfectly, you would literally BE Taylor Swift!
How was Taylor Swift created? Not by biology, chemistry, or physics. Taylor Swift was created when God imagined what it would be like to be Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is one of God's dreams. But since this is God dreaming, the dream walks, talks, sings, eats, shits, and fucks.
The realization you're missing is that your entire personality is God's dream. A cart God is temporarily playing. Just as God imagines what it's like to be Taylor Swift, God imagines what it's like to be whoever you are, down to every memory in your head and every hair on your body.
Stop thinking of Reality as a physical universe with beings in it. No! No! No! Start thinking of Reality as every possible psyche that God could imagine. There is no universe at all. There are only the psyches God dares to imagine. If God can imagine the psyche of a tiger, God becomes an actual tiger. The tiger's physical body is just part of its psyche!
Life is not a physical process. There are no such things as physical processes AT ALL! Life is an entirely psychic process. There is not a world. There is only the psyche dreaming that it is alive. "Physical process" has always been just an aspect of your psyche.
What you actually are is Infinity, dreaming a psyche that feels like it's inside a physical universe. You are so absorbed in this dream that from your POV it just feels like you are a creature born inside a physical world. But all you are is a bubble of Consciousness. The physical world found inside your Consciousness exists no more than the world of Star Wars exists outside of the TV screen. The physical universe is software inside your Consciousness.
To reach this depth of understanding is why I teach in the manner I teach. You cannot get this level of understanding through orthodox means.
