In writing this, I know that in fact no one is out there but my mind and this is like a bio feedback, or mental feedback. But having thoughts out there keeps me from being bored.

No you don't post to much. When I click on a thread and see your handle I have a little chuckle and think " here he goes again" then I sit back and enjoy.
Enjoy? Oh yea. Listening to you going on and on with varying thoughts as you find new insights is joyful. I want to thank you for your sharing with us.
Now, I hope this dosen't go to your head. But I spect not.
What was the name of that Beatles tune that went I am you and you are me and we are all together? A Harrison song if I remember correctly.

Why oh why am I creating a world of such pain and suffering? Of sinister government projects that hurt and hate the world that I love? Please explain that part to me. This is where I lose the logic you speak of.edit on 6/9/2011 by new_here because: (no reason given)

We're not all really one. We are each a distinct individual entity with their own free will. But we are all connected on a deeper level.
It's somewhat like a town, the whole town is one, yet within the town are many different individuals, each with their own lives - all separate, yet part of a whole.

The point is, my higher self is creating one event, and your higher self is creating the same event, therefore, OUR HIGHER SELVES ARE ONE.

That doesn't follow.
And, two people experiencing the same event are not creating the event. Even if they did, how does that make them "one"?
Also, a "higher self" doesn't appear to exist. Define "higher self" better if you can, please.

Since you have a "science mind", perhaps you need to start with this scientific explanation of higher dimensions.
Approach this video from the perspective of self as if you are the dimensions that he is talking about, and you might finally understand better what I'm talking about. www.youtube.com...
I hope this helps.

Thanks, I've seen this and it should be noted that the dimensions portrayed in that video are not what a physicist would refer to. Rather, it serves as a method for the layman to comprehend the concept of multiple dimensions.
That being said, how does what you describe as a "higher dimension" exist as an actual frontier by which the human mind or consciousness occupies? You haven't demonstrated its existence, or the mechanisms in play, but merely asserted its existence and our interactions with it. At some point you have to demonstrate that this is more than some abstract concept (which is all it appears to be).
I wish to experience that world, not this one. I wish to be cognizant of that world right now. I wish for this one to become like that one.

It all has a purpose. We are still learning. There is no time. You are also creating a world where we have moved beyond suffering.
