Thanks Chaol 2.0.
I find your experience inspiring and appreciate your posts. The implication, of course, would be that EC provides an "outside" logic by which a tree disappearing or a new room environment are probable.
Thank you. Just reading through your last few posts, sheds new light on how I've come to experience so much of my subjective weirdness and why its been so hard to convince those closest to me it's any more than hard work or coincidence. It's because from their perspective, that's exactly what it is.
Quoting: MutantMessiah Ahhh.. the lovely power of coincidence.
Do you need to convince others (yourself)?
There's always more fun in the stew to go round.
Simple answer, no. (It would seem that) In discontinuing my "quest" to include everyone I want to tag along with me into the "next" chapter of my "story" of perspective, the resistance to the next chapter falls away. With a turn of a page I(everything "I" am, including the people represented as resistant) will find myself saturated in new story where there is no need to convince "anyone" of "anything" (or anything of anyone lol).
It also seems the more that I just sit back, watch and comment (or act) with what "comes to mind first" (not just on this thread), the more I "feel" I understand and the more I "know" I do not. (sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm finding the words do not illustrate the experience with great accuracy, more or less wraps around it)
Well, I guess the moral of our story is that it's okay to resist whatever.
Resistance is natural. Without it, there'd be nothing.
Yes, it may be difficult to take all that you want into your next perspective. That illustrates just how tightly our grip is.
Would I risk losing all that I know and love in this world to realize my next one? In a word, yes.
I would realize that there would always be people I dearly love no matter what reality I am in, things I love, a life I love, and always be quite comfortable with my own thoughts and day-to-day existence.
...so that means I would probably never be willing to let go.
But that is not to say that I would end up with a reality that I do not learn to love, some or all of the people I loved before would not be there with me, and I would be unable to have a reality that I wanted.
Chaol has often stated that his (my) girlfriend is the reason he is here. He worked to bring her into his world, so to speak. (I hope that he is including me, too! lol)
In order to do so the surrounding reality must also be changed.
If you cannot bend a spoon without 'bending' its reality (and surroundings to accommodate the change in value) then he would not be able to bring her into the dreamworld without changing the world she lives in. And so, the "selfishness" of these posts is explained. He is lifting all boats in order for the 1 boat he loves to be able to drift to shore.
He is literally moving mountains and more if this is the case. I suppose that if someone could do anything within their power for love, why not? Even if it takes planning, dedication, lots of time, and who knows what else.
But for the rest of us I suppose some trust in ourselves is needed that our 'next step' is one that fills out our circle of life that much more and makes us more complete.
