If you ‘might’ eat a hamburger and then compare having eaten it to the ‘default state’ the distinction wouldn’t shake out. You’d have to actually eat it, if you will, to compare the “chose identity state”, to the “default state”. (The default state is the ‘identity’ state, so it is what’s to be inspected.) You can’t ‘might have eaten it’, you have to taste it, feel it in you. Any thought about the self is also itself the self, so a thought can not be the actual ‘identity’ because the thought inherently implicates a separation by distinction. If there is an implied separation, it can’t be true of the self, because the self is what is aware of the thought about the separation (about the self). If one chooses a God identity, or a human identity...they actually chose a thought, not an identity. The actual ‘identity’ is behind the choice to begin with. You would have to ‘get down to’ the actual you, so to speak. You have to see what is actual, for your self. They’d still be in that ‘default state’. The reference to the distinction would actually be to a thought about it, not it. More importantly though, the turn from ‘installed to them’, to ‘I’m what identified with it’, is a good turn. I have a hunch your cold factual world will not go down easy. ?? The self image doesn’t actually die, so no worries. You become aware how you create it perpetually, and starting letting go. It is a transition to less baggage, carrying less weight. It is good.

@Inliytened1 Absolutely! I believe we have securely reached infinite humor here. This could go on infinity. ♥️

@ColdFacts How is identity something you could choose? You’d be you...choosing. What is identity?

@Cody_Atzori Awesome. Curious...what are you drawn to, life plans wise?

@seeking_brilliance Awesome thread! @Shin Hey! Nobody actually talks in riddles!

“It” is you, and you have never been, and can never be, two. Notice, you have only been one. Yes. Everything is One. There is no illusion. There is no collapse Really? Then what are you as your ego?. You. There is no other, no “absolute” to reference. You are only speaking from Being. Form and duality are a necessity that you are completely missing. Can you explain a little, how form and duality are a necessity. Maybe some examples. There is no other ‘highest perspective’. Then what is your perspective as the ego? I don’t know. There is not a here. Nor an All. Again, you are limiting infinity. Your not seeing the whole picture. What is the limiting nature of that comment? Could you give examples of here and all? Form is not an illusion, form is a thought Reality is a Giant mind. Its substance is nothing. Conscioisness is made of nothing..so everything is a thought that is form. “Form” is a dualistic thought (“Formless”). There is no Absolute thought....aka “Not Knowing”. Look at your hand, and notice hand is a thought, likewise, form is a thought. God is you. You do not need anything to know yourself Awakening is becoming conscious that you are God. You always were but you forgot. Where you ever not you? “God needs humans to know itself”....is a sneaky means of perpetuating the idea of duality, and separatism. Well intentioned though. ?? God uses dualities to explore itself. Not just humans but all form. Even your coffee table. This is hard to grasp without Awakening. Nothing, Infinite Intelligence, Nothing to know, Nothing to explore. There is nothing - nothing that can become known by exploration, whatever that would be, is already infinite consciousness. Dualities are not things used, they’re dualities, unrecognition of self. What is an example of a second thing which is not you? Infinity dualistically interpreted allows “uses”, “explore”, “form”. Who is something hard to grasp for? Who awakens? The only thing you can not do, is not be you. Yes you as big self. But small self can and will dissolve. You are two selves? ♥️??

You guys are hilarious.

@Shaun why bother...what?

There’s no missing an Apocolypse.

“It” is you, and you have never been, and can never be, two. Notice, you have only been one. There is no illusion. There is no collapse. There is no other, no “absolute” to reference. There is no other ‘highest perspective’. There is not a here. Nor an All. Form is not an illusion, form is a thought. God is you. You do not need anything to know yourself. “God needs humans to know itself”....is a sneaky means of perpetuating the idea of duality, and separatism. Well intentioned though. ?? The only thing you can not do, is not be you.

@Serotoninluv wow. You win the internet.

@now is forever You can’t become you.

@Shin Hard to doubt yourself within doubting yourself. @Mikael89 Stop believing opinions. Consider the difference between the Truth and an opinion, is one is not your opinion.

This makes self inquiry easy, because it reduces decades of bullshit to the immediate need to see for your self. By sitting comfortably in a chair, and contemplating, you will not “go insane”. Notice, right now, that’s just a thought. Have a Good laugh about it for God sakes. Only what is sane has the possibility to reference what is not. You’re good. Relax.

@Inliytened1 I am curious if you have the “something is coming” feeling. If so, can this be the theme? Particularly because it is meaningless yet kicks ass. Excellent job on the drum btw. The restraint paradoxically nails it. Well done.

@still_no_satori It doesn’t mean anything. What meaning could there be for Love? What use would Love have for meaning? It’s already Love. Applying meaning to Love, is like starting a ticking timebomb. The “meaning” would always implode.

@mandyjw Why...even if you use a triangular, or square bubble wand...why....are bubbles always round?

@Inliytened1 But if there is infinity, how could it include anything else? Wouldn't that imply there is something to be included? (See where this is headed?)

@mandyjw Damn it! That’s precisely what the bubble would say.

What if you ‘planted’ him. To tell you, once in your story, that you don’t need to do the whole suffering / enlightenment thing. As in, already been done to the fullest, you’re good to go, live your life for your experience. What if it only appears that history took place before your ‘arrival’ ‘here’? What if the actuality is a comprehensive cover up, so convincing & pervasive, you don’t even question how “you got here”? What if None of “it” ever happened, nor is happening? Imagine how funny that would be. What a relief. What if you simply created bubbles of your infinite mystical magical self, and the bubbles are so convincing, that you believe the bubble, take it as “physical reality”, and don’t notice the “center” of the bubble, is no thing (You)? That would mean you actually never moved, though it seems you do. Never lived, though it appears your are. The ultimate convincer would be the breathing. If that were true though, you wouldn’t be breathing. The bubble would be breathing, and you’d have to be convinced you are doing the breathing. It’d have to appear you somehow breath, but without having to remember to do it. And you’d have to pretty much ignore that to continue believing the non-bubble-actuality of reality. You’d have to basically ignore the fact that you couldn’t explain how it is you continue breathing. The breathe would have to be something you can & are doing, and also don’t have to “do”, if the actuality is, there is no doer separate from the bubble. All you’d really need to do is be infinite, and appear as light. But then, you’d never be able to tell if you are separate from the light, ultimately. It’d certainly appear separate, but if inspected enough, the appearance / actuality reality of it would have to reveal that the light is both your infinite self (bubble), and all ‘form’, at least the appearance of form. None of that could be possible though. Because that would mean that no matter what you learned or realized, the bubble would always morph into ‘more’, in perfect accordance since nothing was actually learned or realized (just bubble morph of “learned” & “realized”, so the true nature of conceptualization would be falsity & infinite simultaneously. Also, couldn’t be possible, because that would also reveal that right now is always bubble, and that a single thought about a past or a you, is only the bubble morph, now, morphing as a memory, the perpetuation of the “cover up” - but in truth, the actuality of the bubble. None of this is possible though.

@Serotoninluv Roughly 9 hrs ago, on a two lane bridge (hard to miss) I passed a guy driving a replica Ghost Busters Car. So we have that.
