jesus had one mission, to teach how to become a christ, which he achieved post Calvary he showed how to walk the walk unfortunately the church claims he is god thus engaging in anthropomorphism suggest you read John Sprong or Bernadette Robert's The Real Christ

good is what helps me survive, love is what helps me thrive i define good in comparison to who i am, end of love is what unites me and you

have to stop thinking and let the absolute speak to you good signs of it are peace and confidence

for me there in only one not many, there is one perspective only, god knows my pain (since it has awareness of touching) and merely sees your pain

how about defining reality equals existence plus non-existence where existence is all the parts of the universe mixed together in all ways seen up to now and non-existence is all parts of the universe mixed together in all remaining ways chat-gpt: While the idea of defining reality as "existence plus non-existence" is problematic, the elaboration you've provided does add some nuance and potential clarity. Your definition suggests that existence refers to all the parts of the universe mixed together in all ways that have been seen up to now. This could be interpreted to mean that existence encompasses all of the phenomena that have been imagined or experienced within the universe so far. Non-existence, on the other hand, is defined as all the parts of the universe mixed together in all remaining ways. This could be interpreted to mean that non-existence encompasses all of the potential phenomena that have not yet been imagined or experienced, or perhaps even those that are fundamentally unimaginable as of now. Overall, this definition suggests that reality is a dynamic and evolving concept that includes both the known and the unknown, the observed and the unobserved. While the inclusion of non-existence may still be problematic, this elaboration adds more specificity and nuance to the definition of reality. with reality defined thus, consciousness is all reality's interactions i have observed and unconsciousness is all reality's possible interactions i have not observed ... please comment on this definition chat-gpt The definition of consciousness as "all reality's interactions I have observed" and unconsciousness as "all reality's possible interactions I have not observed" fits well with the definition of reality as a combination of existence and non-existence, as you described in your previous message. This definition implies that consciousness is limited to an individual's subjective experience and perception of reality, and unconsciousness encompasses all phenomena and interactions that are beyond an individual's current awareness. However, it is important to recognize that the definition of unconsciousness as "all reality's possible interactions I have not observed" may be limited by an individual's capacity to perceive or understand certain phenomena. There may be interactions or phenomena that are currently beyond our understanding or perception, and it's possible that we may never be able to observe or comprehend them. Furthermore, the definition of consciousness as "all reality's interactions I have observed" also raises questions about the reliability and accuracy of individual perception. Our perception of reality may be influenced by various factors such as biases, limitations of the sensory system, and cognitive processes, which may affect our ability to accurately observe and understand interactions within reality. Overall, while this definition provides a useful framework for understanding the relationship between consciousness, unconsciousness, and reality, it is important to remain aware of its potential limitations and biases based on individual perception and understanding. some metaphysical musings

to my level of awakening, god crafted me as a window to illuminate the world and this is the sense in which reality is subjective, god sees the world from my perspective and no other, as a body-mind i am open to sight sound smell touch taste though but all god experiences is awareness of those from my perspective but not from any one else's existence is every way i can imagine the universe being assembled and non existence is the myriad ways it can be arranged beyond my imagination ... my mind is finite so it not capable of imagining all reality

meditation is to trust and to put myself in existence's hands it moulds me into a more aware vessel capable of facing the day at hand with vim and verve and vivaciousness for me this partnership is what makes the difference between surviving and thriving i don't know the ins and outs of meditation, i get up and sit down and let existence have its way if i meditate it's already a good day no matter what happens

yes you can make it go where you want to go if you're smart ... but i find it gives back the level of consciousness and ingenuity that you put in ... and basically it helps you make more sense concerning you so you don't need to waste people's time with nonsense ... until you have some gems that is

it's about knowing yourself knowing your limits; if you have an hour of fuel in the tank and you try to work two hours, you will be miserable so you have to know on a given day your potential output following through with this self knowledge is discipline sometimes one overestimates one's fuel level and quits the tasks at hand this is okay since failure needs to be embedded into the program sometimes you work you're grouchy you quit, be gentle and kind and accepting on average follow through 6 days a week cut yourself some slack one day a week this is a healthy balance and forestalls the burnout of being too perfectionist if you give yourself a manageable comfortable program like this, you will find your limits increase for example if you're a runner you will be able to go faster and go further

what you see it really be not real like i say relatively real if i may

existence is tricky existence is anything in the now's consciousness; non-existence is hypotheticals that i have never gotten around to imagining them, for example a species of insect that i have never heard of everyone i have any knowledge of certainly exists ... including me ... as separate distinct entities i and you exist i and you is unreal, pure disappearing waves god is the only real god feels no pain, mine or yours, pain is the inevitable condition of a finite self all god does is shine a spotlight on it apologies that i was sloppy earlier on conflating existence which is relative and reality which is absolute

yes so no is the answer until karma comes to get ya

yes no doubt ... my only roadblock is if you stab me god feels it but if i stab you does god feel it too

i do completely agree since if it is direct experience it is within the field of cognition and therefore god is that experiencing taking place

the direct experience is everyone's direct experience, god basks in it all not just one random ego's

solipsism is misleading ... people use to claim they are god ... no you are not god, god is you and uncountably more beside

having no free will, ego is an automaton, it proceeds and retreats based on causes and conditions, not something for me to pay attention to

yes tend to agree ... ego feels it is an independent doer ... but god is all the moving parts of reality interacting seemlessly, god receives it witnesses it appreciates it, loves all the to and fro it created for itself

solispism is an ego trumpeting godship impossible since it never existed in the first place

of course and whose is it?

it's not just others don't exist, you don't exist look in the mirror right now, that isn't you wakey wakey your body-mind are appearance like all else you see nothing about you is real you haven't gone deep enough with self enquiry

thank you for all your beautiful words and this rich discusiion, i await your words here eagerly every day, keep shining like you do ?

mind is child's play for god, just a kaleidoscope to look at pretty colors

god's the body i'm the eye god says imagine you're it for a while and not part of the body and lets look at the body as if it is a wonderland

no stop start in god land
