You both don't get it then do you. This is accessible to everyone. It no longer makes it super. In fact everyone one of us does this everyday we daydream for moments that bore us. It's fine, yes, it's all very miraculous and amazing, but what is a regular power if this is super?

I must have missed it.....What superpowers do you claim to have??
You are the light of the world! Some, to avoid the implications of this, however, sadly, would prefer to reduce the human being to a mere "thing", which is the most absurd and ridiculous proposition going, and whoever proposes that, is really a fool, since he (or she) is completely lacking in self awareness which is the only real knowledge that is possible.

The awareness of anything as "super" is always a choice. If you choose to be aware of something as super, then it will be super unto you. This is really all we're talking about here.

This quote hits hard, because once people like us take full responsibility for our actions, there's this weight lifted off our conscious mind and that creates more room to manifest positive ideas. Balance is one thing that is very important to me spiritually; we use this knowledge for good intentions, and never with an entitlement or superiority from those who do not understand.

Unity means that your internal subjective mind and the outside objective world are one.
Subjective relativity isn't false, it is just you. Your perception of the universe becomes the objective you. Think about that real hard. Try to grasp the implications of it.
Nothing that exists can be false. Existence is truth. Even if it is your imagination, it is true because it exists. Even if it only exists in your head, all is one. It's not only in your head, it shines through your eyes for all to see. What you think about the universe matters not only to you, but also to all.
What you see, externally, is you. The brighter the outside is to you, the brighter you will be to it. A "light being" is an observer who has chosen to unconditionally see, to a high magnitude, the beauty, glory, and greatness of the universe. You can make what you observe become more alive in your presence just by what you become on the inside. If you take responsibility for what you think and do, and know that it does matter for the reasons I have said as well as for countless other reasons, then you will understand. Then you will know that you have superpowers.

Doesn't this revolve around you supposedly seeing yourself seeing other stuff in your mind's eye?
There is no practical purpose to that. However, it does indicate a certain degree of narcissism...I mean, who watches themselves watching something? Is it that important that they get their expressions just right?

I'm not here to appear a fool. I would love very much to think we are "lights of the world", but so far, we aren't. Look around. Where are all these "lights of the world?". Point one out to me—and it can't be the guy who claims to have superpowers. We are not the "lights of the world"—whatever that means—If we were, we would be, but we aren't. Wishing something to be true, doesn't make it so, that would be absurd, and whoever proposes that, is really a fool, since he (or she) is completely lacking in self awareness, which is the only real knowledge that is possible.
I can make people feel more alive by them just being around me…..
Also, I have a shining look in my eyes that you can feel…..
the glory of the universe that I behold is the glory of the universe that others can behold in me just by seeing me…..
By me becoming more alive due to the way I perceive the universe, the universe becomes more alive in my presence…..
First you have to grasp the reality that all is one. If you have not grasped that yet, you may not be ready for this next level of truth.

This one is different. It's just not expressed well. No bad intent here at all.

I'll play the "devil's advocate" here, and offer up what the materialist monist atheist would say.
No, we're just animals, and all those emotions and subjective experiences are nothing but highly evolved and complex bio-chemical reaction/response mechanisms, mostly occuring inside the scull. Free will and even the notion of having a "self" are just illusions. We are a thing, an it, driven by selfish desires in one form or another nothing more. All this "woo woo" quantum spiritual newage nonsense isn't reality based, just wishful thinking, and delusional. Science rules, and all this oneness and spiritual nonsense makes no sense in light of scientific scrutiny and analysis. It's all just physical, so don't let a bunch of chemical responses delude you into thinking you have a soul or that you are anything but future wormfood. Life is absurd and meaningless. Get used to it!
