[quote:chaol 183770:MV84NzI1OTBfMTM2OTI2NDBfQzg2NDY1NEI=] [quote:I Am 500829] Thanks for the reply! Im going to react to some of these responses.. Perhaps none is in control. The concept of control is irrelevant outside of physically-oriented experience. Okay, but I happen to be in the physical, so control is not irrelevant. [/quote] Hello! How sure of you of this 'fact' (that you are in the physical)? There is no control. It's a human cognitive invention. It's just a kind of shift from one perspective to another. All possibilities (and perspectives) exist. [quote:I Am 500829] Can I ask a question about the relationships you are "caught in"? Are you pushing them away from you? Do you feel you are resisting them (because you may not want them)? Yeah.. pretty much all the bad things in the world today. I dont want any of that. Ive given up TV because its all bad/spun news. I dont read newspapers, magazines, etc. I prefer sites with the real news, GLP discussion, happynews, and NPR. So I make an effort to push out of my life all the incoming data/current events that I perceive as evil/negative, because well, I dont want to give my energy to thinking about negative things, and in doing so I feel my life is better in withdrawing from the media. Problem is, those negative issues out there still occur despite my narcissism and living under a rock. So yeah I resist these things. You're telling me I should rather just allow the bad news in and not care either way? This would only work if I was a child and didn't know right from wrong, and thus could pass no judgment automatically. [/quote] Do you find it interesting that you would resist your perception? I don't mean *specific* perceptions. This versus that, etc. I mean your perspective. In other words, You. What is something before you assign it a name and put it in a category? What is the essence? [quote:I Am 500829] The cliche would be, "What we see outside is a representation of what is inside." But it's true. Ponder this thought for your entertainment: "There is no one else. There is only you. There is only your perception of everything." Okay. This is big. So, really, I am the only real sentient thing in my reality, and everything else in the entire universe is a creation of my mind? Sounds like I am someone plugged into a gigantic virtual reality machine for a lifetime run. Wow, so lonely, playing with myself, I might as well kill off my avatar in this pointless game so I can jack out and see what the real world is. Tap the programmer god sitting in the middle of the room and say, dude this is BS. The Matrix? But are there other people also in these machines, and this is a shared virtual reality? Because I find it hard to believe that I just change my perceptions and everyone else will agree. There's rules when we start this gig, a starting framework. You cant explain what you get when you're born. [/quote] Not exactly. "You" are much more than you appear to be. Looking at your hand it should be obvious that there is much more than it seems. It goes beyond what you can possibly sense. There is no game or avatar, or creation. Words don't get on this bus. [quote:I Am 500829] So.. Im the only one, eh? Who are you? I made you up? If I believe 100% that you're my higher self/unconscious desires manifest trying to get me to learn, you will say yes? Yes you will. Heck I've been wanting for years to talk to my higher self. You seem to fit the bill.. super intelligent.. all the right answers. THIS should be interesting.. fitting that the medium be a computer, as my career has been in computers most of my life. :) Its all in my mind. God is a fiction, morality is invented, and I could just throw care to the wind and go out on a rampage, give myself powers, etc. True, I'd have to live with myself. But if my perception is that I truly didn't care because its all virtual reality anyway, then what does it matter. The outside is the inside.. well there must be alot of conflict inside of me for there to be so many horrible wars out there. And if I figure out how to cleanse myself of all the things inside me that I dont want to manifest in the world, and change my mental point of view, I could live in utopia. Okay, hard to swallow, screams of narcissism. Its a pretty concept, but I'd have to unlearn a lifetime of programming. Got any pointers there? Sadly, a brick to the head seems the easiest way to fully change my perception.. or a sensory deprivation tank.. (Any of your other manifestations of my perception can chime in too. :) :hf: ) [/quote] My answers are fairly dependent upon the presumptions of your questions. I wouldn't say I have any answers, per se. There is never a time when teaching does not occur. More accurately, it could be said that there is a time when we're paying close attention and a time when we're not. When we are, we say that we're being 'taught' a lesson or something of the kind. Your statement, "And if I figure out how to cleanse myself of all the things inside me that I dont want to manifest in the world..." probably expresses the world you express. You "don't want" so that is what your probability is likely composed of. "Don't want" is pretty much the same as wanting. Change the "don't want" into "irrelevant" and it won't be a part of your direct experience. Thanks. [/quote]

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.
