Who or what controls this illusion?

massive ego

If ego is an illusion, then how the fuck are you going to get what you want, unless you are identified with your preferences?

Wanting is having preferences.

...cue dumb scripting from op...

Let us take you on a journey.......


All of us here are gathered in a meadow at the base of a mountain. We are home and we are all playing together in perfect love. A dear brother approaches and says, "Would anyone here like to play a new Game?"

"What kind of Game?" You ask. "Is it like the ones we play now?"

"No," he replies. "It is like nothing we have ever done before. It will be an elaborate Game with many props and disguises. We will wear veils so that we can no longer see or re-member our true nature, even the veil will be hidden from view. Then we will start the Game and begin to re-member. This veil will be so effective that you will forget not only who you are; you will even forget home. Even as we pass each other on our paths, we will look into each other's eyes and not recognize one another. The veil will be so effective that many will look around at the props and disguises and truly believe that is all there is. You will retain all of your powers, yet you will not re-member how to use them or that they are even there.

"The Game will be played in phases and before we start each phase of the Game we may place as many reminders in our path as we wish, to help us re-member. Be advised to place many reminders, for most of you will rationalize them away easily. We will choose the time and place of our entrances and exits on the Gameboard. We will also set up circumstances and lessons we wish to complete while we are under the veil. A tally will be kept and points will accumulate from one phase to the next. This point system will only be used by you to determine what will be included in your next phase. You will not be able to remember from one phase to the next, yet, once mastered, certain attributes may be carried forward into the next phase. You will always carry your core essence and personality, yet you will not re-member that it passes with you through the veil into every phase.

"Humor will always be a reminder that passes unchecked through the veil, and if we find you getting too serious we will tickle your funny bone as a reminder that this is only a Game. There will also be many masters available along the way to help us if we wander too far from the path. Oh yes, I almost forgot an important part of the Game... at all times there will be Free Choice. You have complete choice in all matters, you may even choose not to play the Game, or to call in a substitute. You may choose to hide, or you may choose to seek, it is entirely up to you.

"On the Gameboard there will be polarity. This has to do with the mechanics of the Gameboard itself, and will be a necessary component as it provides the contrast needed. However, polarity will taint your vision. Through eyes tainted with polarity, you perceive things as Up or Down, Light or Dark, Good or Bad, Love or Fear and Right or Wrong. Do not let this fool you, it is only illusion.

"We will all leave our higher aspects of ourselves in a special place for the duration of the Game, otherwise the Game would be much too easy. Your higher self will be available to you at all times. Your challenge will be to learn to access it, and to re-member that it exists as part of yourself. You may choose special loved ones to ride on your shoulder to advise you during the Game. Again, re-membering that they even exist will be a big part of the Game itself.

"The goal of the Game will be to see how many can re-member who they are, where they are from, and what powers of creation they have. Once you re-member, then you may re-merge with your higher self and re-create home on the other side of the veil to demonstrate that you have fully re-membered.

"So who wants to play?"

Be Love!

you can choose to not read my discussion

"my discussion"... a very egoic and defensive statement

not the discussion

or

our discussion.


Speaks volumes OP.


Well, you can choose not to read the replies.

Funny that you don't have a problem dismissing other people's posts, calling them "dumb scripting" when your ego doesn't like them or is challenged by them, but when it's turned back on you, you get all defensive.

This is G.A.M.E, you are player one. Ego is just your game settings i.e. gfx, captions, music volume, avatar customization. Don't need to tamper the ego, but it's good to have. Your 'body' runs the game, and the operating system, graphics, sound, ect. The controls takes at least a decade to learn. The most immersive game ever created. Gives the illusion of movement through space, in reality your body is in a sleep state. Think avatar + matrix. With the most superior tech. There are ppl who advance by cheat codes, and walkthroughs past down through bloodlined. This cannot be helped. Don't try to escape the game, there is no escape from inside the game. Imagine playing grand theft auto, you become the character. You admire the facades, terrain, vehicles, scripts, npc's that You forget you are playing. After awile you(player) figure out its an illusion a game....congrats. You(the virtual player) try to escape by bypassing code(noclip, godmode, ect ect) But you are still in the game. Silly. Play the fucking game. You may not remember, but you were brave enough to play. You play by doing what you(spirit) loves to do, how you love to do it. Learning from mistakes and obstacles, traps, that can take many 'lives'. Defeating the people trying to stop you on your quest is a giving. There are many bosses and plenty of side missions so you have no excuse to be bored. Only problem is, rulers(cheating players/hackers), have made it majority of the current and new players forget how to 'save the game'. So you never even have a chance to play. Then you become nothing more than an Npc. It makes it even harder because the game is constantly updated. There are many levels as you progress(think dimensions). Ask yourself how to save the game to the 'system hdd', instead of your personal cloud. Stop trying to damage the damn system because you think you no longer want to play.

Know the feelin' man.

my = ego



Can you understand my world?

Can you see through my eyes?

Can you think what I think?

Can you feel what I feel?

seems like your character is trying to convince us of something

I(eye) = perception

ego is what changes your perception for better or worse. worse- Belief/fears/prejudices
better- indifference

What? People on an internet forum for discussion, discussing their viewpoints? Never!

Why are you posting here if you don't want a discussion?

Is your idea of a discussion just you pontificating?

That's your projection.

You're giving it all away.

Exactly, many people no longer include their hearts. Which is indeed a trap.

okay

i guess you found me out

you're it

lol

and yet here you are, for the last 18 months, typing words

How do I include my heart?
