You are the big chief. You spelled it out quite well in the OT when you said "I am the lord your God and no man can hold me to account".

Americans should be thankful their ghettos aren't mud huts and shit ditches. Better than the gulag! Spoiled americans!

Epistemic sounds like something the ego wants to put in a sentence.

In my individual case a better way of putting it would be I don't act like I am conscious of it despite being aware of it. I'm here so I might as well enjoy the dream but I don't take it as seriously as I once did - I stopped taking everything personally. One foot on the ground one stepping towards the clouds if you will. I just try to stay present and trust the process - neither awake or asleep - in the world but not of it. Yeah but Im imagining that. Turns out God really can do anything - like convince us this shit is real - complete with "others". Holy shit God is omnipotent, who woulda guessed. Not too many earthlings, that's for sure. Never give God enough credit lol. No wonder all their gods are assholes who complain about humans all the time.

As long as the dreamer is dreaming the human and its world I'd say that's already the case.

I experience it as a physical thing but I know its something else entirely. I experience them as separate but ultimately, no. Unfortunately, no. Still working on this one but I try to follow The Golden Rule and choose my reactions to the external rather than reacting from my conditioning. I don't. Mostly human, sometimes God. The dream of a bored and lonely god.

Anything can become an addiction or obsession. My analogy works because if porn spirals into an addiction then you're using that fire destructively.

I can use fire to warm my home and cook a meal for my family or I can burn down my neighbors house with it. Its all in how its being used.

Yeah the idea that you need drugs or years of dedication to a specific discipline is just that, an idea. Some people just wake up spontaneously without seeking at all.

Two is a made up convenience like time to express something beyond logic. Source is source, there is only 1. It cannot be understood but like the wise words from that old Palmolive commercial, "Madge, you're soaking in it".

One is the loneliest number.

It's just you.

Has anyone, post ego submission, tried talking to another human being? When my ego is hiding in the corner and I am talking to a loved one in a totally coherent yet liberated state I have the eyes to see. Yes, of course she has her own mind but only because I want her to have her own mind - that's the game Im playing - the separation game. When the veil is lifted you dont see her mind and or even my mind you just see mind. Or mindfulness if you prefer but regardless of whatever wholly inadequate label you want to use (like solipsism) that's whats happening. Its just you. There are no other gods.

Because the guy with a diagnosed brain tumor telling himself its just a mild headache, I'll be fine, I'll take some aspirin just blundered his way into hell on account of his will ignorance.

Nothing titillates the infinite quite like the threat of non existence.

I know. I love it. Pure metaphysical poetry. Im the best.

Infinite possibilities and Im on my Actualized.org forums talking to myself like this again. Pretty sure I put some better content on the internet.

What God is - is what is happening right now, at this moment, on this forum.

God can do whatever God wants. Its one of the perks of being God. And by all appearances what God wants to do right now is jerk himself off an internet forum and yell at himself over who is having the better dream.

It cannot be explained it. By design. If there was a perfect explanation (rather than really good analogies), it would have been explained already. If there was a logic, there wouldn't be a mystery. If the mystery wasn't there, you wouldn't know to go looking into it. See how that works? It can only be known through direct experience. I pray that you get the huge sigh of relief oh crap I just forgot lolololol version.

You can't have it both ways.

Can I just get the cheat notes version of whatever ancient knowledge this guy is hyper intellectualizing like he came with it?

Buddhism is a clue. Non duality is a clue. Quantum physics is a clue. Psychedelics are a clue. Gnostic Christianity is a clue, the word 'universe' is a clue, the all seeing eye atop the pyramid on the back of the ONE dollar bill is a clue, the Matrix movie is a clue, Plato is a clue and on and on it goes. Don't make Buddhism something it isn't, just start connecting dots...

Your imaginary friend Carl Jung wants to remind you to embrace that shadow cuz as long as you remain ignorant of your true nature you're going to end up becoming what you hate except a hundred times worse. "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Gods experience is others having experiences. You are one of them. You are also god. I know its unbelievable but until you overcome the paradox of believing the unbelievable you're gonna be seeking forever.
