What is the mechanism by which "God" imagines dissociation and distinction?

5 posts in this topic

It is only a very brief thought experiment regarding the un-reality of space, or even just the "place" awareness resides, to understand that "I" is the thing viewing everything.

What is the actual mechanism via which it is able to split imagination into seperated perspectives?

Not only of characters, but say, time too. Now five seconds ago is just a memory happening now. But when an event happens, how is it able to imagine these changing contrasts to create the image of passing time? How is it NOT that every single state is stacked atop one another allowing infinity to appear to be something finite? What is the mechanism through which it is able to do this?

There is no mechanism!

It's absolutely DIRECT. Impossibly direct.

If you can verbalize it, it isn't direct.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

You're asking for something that doesn't exist..

You're also assuming a whole lot here... "5 seconds ago", "an event", "how", "changing contrasts".

If you go through your own death you can find all these answers in your direct experience - imagine instead your body is dying right now - which it is, and focus on the sensations and fears coming from that, and anything that comes up that gets in the way of seeing that truth, inspect it - and then answers like these uncover themselves on their own in due time.  That's the quickest route to finding the mechanism - it can't be spoken of - you'll generally only get a piece of the diamond, a shard of it to learn from, and then just collect and add to it from direct experience and you'll learn everything that you need to for your unique path.

It takes time to get answers sometimes, so be patient.

No answer came at all. I'm neurotypical and have done shit tonnes of hallucinogens at this point. The only obvious thing was my own substantial emptiness, the fact of everything that has ever been known being mental perception (and the obvious subjectivity of those), and the sizelessness OF awareness.

It's not revealing any mechanism, and ideas of other people/mechanisms disappear so it's not like I am provided actual definitive answers at all beyond the above. The ideas vanish so no answer even comes, how is more of the same going to suddenly make answers appear?

I don't see that giggling and shushing my bedroom wall promising to not let anyone know they're all us, is some kind of definitive proof, nor being shot out of my ego into """Nirvana""". The only direct proof is of the elements first mentioned.

The question assumes that there is a mechanism. Any question about God or the absolute that assumes anything, is unanswerable for that reason.
