[quote:U3:MV84NzI1OTBfMzU5NDI0OTJfQjg3M0VBNjc=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2690124:MV84NzI1OTBfMjkyNTY2MzRfN0JCNDU3Nzg=] What's great about the universe is that there's a time and space for everything that can be imagined. To expect things to remain the same in the face of its expanse leads to experiences of fearing that one would not exist. (This is not the same as fear of death. Fear of not existing is the ultimate fear because it is the ultimate resistance. It is not an emotional thing or something that would lead to psychoses or may cause one to deny it like fear of clowns. Fear of non-existence is the nature of physicality because it creates the resistance that physicality illustrates through the bifurcation of perspective.) When we are afraid of letting go of ourselves and resist changing perspectives or make excuses as to why the current perspective should be maintained, then it really is the same thing. Fear of not being oneself is what keeps one in the illusion of being separate from an other. I do not suggest that one way is "better" than any other. However, it is inevitable that perspectives change. (As a perspective is not any one thing in particular. But living our lives as we do we come to believe that our perspective should be this or that. [u]That is the point.[/u]) I am suggesting, however, that we can do what is natural for us to do. Something you are [i]already[/i] doing. We (you) are just waiting for you to realize it. We are appearing to have this conversation because the resistance is still there. If there was no fear, you would simply be talking to yourself. (Which, really, is what you're doing anyway whether or not you realize it.) You would not resist any reality because "any reality" comprises your perspective. An analogy would be if one day you woke up with the power to immediately manifest into your reality anything that you could possibly imagine... and you used it to maintain your previous illusion. And when someone knocks on your door and tells you that you can do anything and shows you how, you look for flaws in their apparel and focus on their left shoe not being fully-tied, or that their sleeve is wrinkled, or that it's very sunny today. And then you spend an additional 10 years looking for ways your new abilities aren't there, or convincing yourself why you can't do something, or focusing on some inconsequential discussion. All because of the fear of not existing. This resistance creates physicality. Your physicality has changed (already), and [b]so should the manner in which you resist[/b]. That many of us find our current ("previous") perspective so hard to resist is exactly the point. We cling to our families, television shows, clothes, ideas, jobs, etc., because of this. (Of course, it may be that your mind sees what I am suggesting as "giving up everything" but of course it would want you to believe that. The reality is that you are already doing the opposite of "giving up everything" when you ignore the greater reality of your perspective.) Our methods of resistance create all kinds of conversations, realities, beliefs, friends, 'blocking out' of certain stimuli or thought processes, etc. It becomes its own reality. So we create a world in which we dream about such expansive realities but are unable to experience them because, "deep down", we actually prefer to maintain the status quo.

Hello!
I have been living in this world for some time now.
I came from a place also named Earth, much like this planet. There are a number of differences between my home and yours.
I thought it would be interesting to share a few things with you that are relatively common knowledge where I am from. My reasons for doing so will probably be more apparent in the future.
* Consciousness does not exist (but relationships do)
* Matter is gravity that has been structured
* We are not human (we are perspectives)
* When the totality of something cannot be grasped, it appears infinite.
* Space is not physical
* There is no "now" or "here", but relationships.
We use a kind of language like you use numbers here. Numbers, representations of abstract concepts, were 'invented' to work more easily with the world around us. Our language is no different.
If it were invented today it would probably be thought of as existing in parallel with science. A new kind of science.
This language also enables the shifting of perspective like a kind of mental technology. Some of you may find it quite interesting.
If anyone is interested in learning more please let me know.
Thanks.
