Yeah but you do not want to delude yourself into thinking you can catch you tail.
This is all there is but what this is can be so much more, do you see that?
What more is there than what is?
*flame thrower set to high*
lol just kidding.
How about we start with radiation problem plaguing the planet.
Then maybe we can make sure everyone has shelter food and water.
Have you not observed any of this yourself?
What can you do?
The problem - the suffering that you feel - is that you imagine that you can control what appears as the movie. Can you control the apparent world?
You worry about the world because you think you are dependant on the world but you are not really. When you find out what you are you will not worry about the world.

Because others depend upon these elements to distinguish me, I do think that some stability and integrity is needed, for their sake. That I not be completely changeable from one minute to the next, that I project a fairly stable idea of who I am, and allow only progressive changes that they can follow. If others can gain a sense of who you are, and feel able to predict or anticipate your responses, it gives them a better sense of security and power over their own experience, that encourages effective relations and exchanges.

I will give you the best advice I have ever given anyone.
Do not try and keep God for yourself to use against others. It is as if you wont let me onto your 'home world' and fail to see that you are speaking directly with the presence.
Change every word you wrote to me from "you" to "I" and that is what you are telling yourself.
You are not in the "collective dream" alone and you will have to accept that at some point. Just like I did.

I really am going to have a hard time explaining it to you. So I will keep it simple.
God is like looking forwards and backwards at the same time. When that eye is open and the brain has been able to reconcile the data in some way without death, then you will understand it better. It cannot be anthropomorphized at all and make sense to someone with limitations on awareness.

It is your confusing double speak that gives you the illusion of any control. That is what keeping God to yourself is, trying to own the upper hand because it makes you feel safe....and big loledit on 26-1-2014 by TheDualityExperience because: (no reason given)

But I have to say this:
One must seek the sufferer to end all the suffering.
This I find fantastically intriguing, and well worth thinking about…...

It is you who sees defence. I see no fight - I am just expressing.

And yet you feel the need to respond in defense every time?

Control, in and of itself, seems to be the whole problem.

Is this just a 'Human' reality?
I know how that may sound but stay with me on this one. Do other living creatures have ideas? If so, do they have consciousness? We humans seem to have the ability to leap beyond our own personal experiences and be creative mostly when the need arises but also sometimes simply for fun.
Thinking outside the box has more often than not carried the day.

I don't know. I've sensed, subjectively, aspects of human like consciousness in pet dogs when I was young, but it could always be my own mind. Its a very hard thing to test, whether or not an animal connects to timeless abstract ideas like "triangle".

There is only consciousness.
In wakefulness appearances appear.

appearances? of consciousness? I am asking about individual consciousness….you don't believe that consciousness has any individualism as a characteristic, it's all the same….consciousness?
