Did Bethesda accidentaly describe God-Realization?

What is CHIM?

The concept of CHIM is derived from the fantasy world presented in "The Elder Scrolls" video game series created by Bethesda Game Studios.

CHIM (pronounced kɪm), is a state in which one can break free from all existing laws and corruptions in Oblivion. It is a state in which one can return to a point before the union of Anu and Padomay and shape the Aurbis as they please. CHIM is associated with Love because Love appears to be a part of it and thus links to the idea that God is "Love."

However, CHIM is not merely a state in which one can achieve power and dominion over existence.

At its core, CHIM represents an important epiphany.

To reach CHIM, one must come to understand that the entire universe (the Aurbis) is like a dream, and that their own identity is part of that dream. This realization is extremely dangerous: if the individual fully dissolves into this understanding, they “zero-sum,” meaning they cease to exist entirely.

The state in which CHIM occurs is one in which this does not take place.

Instead, one is able to achieve:

“I am everything”

“I am still myself”

At the same time.

It is for this reason that CHIM is often related to Love, not in a romantic sense, but as a complete acceptance or unity. It is the capacity to understand that everything is one, yet at the same time acknowledge that one exists within that oneness.

Very few beings in the Elder Scrolls universe are said to have achieved it, making it one of the most mysterious and powerful concepts within the Elder Scrolls lore.

It's not accidental. Michael Kirkbride, who wrote the lore for Morrowind, copied many elements from Hindu mythology.

Nice cosmology you got there. It just works.

Visually similar as well. Reading anything Morrowind related depresses me cause I know we're never going to get a game world so deeply realized like this in our lifetime's. There is room for another genius like Kirkbride to infiltrate game development/writing, but I'm not holding out on them ever appearing within my lifespan.
