HELLO
I can enter a body that transmutes flowing-energy into physical people, places and things (information templates). Of course I have to know things to understand the information. In other words, I have to learn (as does an infant) energy shapes and forms and learn how they interact, and assign them word symbols. I am like a library of information, always seeking new information, new experiences which makes it possible for me to acquire more and more information and have more and more experiences. Nothing is really happening out there. Out there is just flowing energy. What if there’s no energy, either? What if life as we know it is just imagination, and imagination is the only energy there is. I can imagine a big explosion, a sun, but it doesn’t really exist except in my imagination. The explosion didn’t take any energy. It was just an image. MAYBE I am just consciousness wearing a headset.
You come into form and think you are the form, get attached to forms; forms die; your form dies; you return to formlessness. Why? What’s the point, purpose? What happened while you were in form? You had experiences, learned, gained knowledge, understanding, wisdom. No matter how difficult your life was, if you adopted Taoism, your life was joy, if not, your life was suffering. The point wasn’t to suffer or not suffer. The purpose was to gain knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Why? What are you that needs knowledge? What are you?
Physical life is imaginary, not real, temporary, merely a visual representation of information. We think it’s real. The key is, we think. We think life is real. It’s not. What are we?
What if the big bang, energy, motion, universe, galaxies, solar systems, planets, people, places and things are not real, never happened, are not physical at all, just imagined scenery to make it appear real? What if life is like a movie, merely information appearing on a fabric we call life. What if we are merely the result of imagination in the mind of God, in the mind of the ONE universal consciousness? Let’s say that is true. What does knowing that do for you?
“Hey, Joe, did you know we are being imagined by universal consciousness, which means we exist like characters in a movie?”
“Yeah, I knew that. I know we are not real. Not really real.”
“Hell of a movie, ain’t it?”
“Yeah, and if you’re Buddhist, you want to know how to not be in the sequel.”
“And if you’re Christian, you want to know how to never be left out of a sequel.”
“And if you’re a Taoist, you’re the most boring character in the movie.”
“Well, you’ve got to admit that the one consciousness has an amazing imagination.”
“Yeah, and I think it imagined us and gave us individual consciousnesses and provided experiences for us to learn so we could imagine even weirder experiences.”
“I think the one consciousness is exploring every potential, which includes us exploring our every potential.”
“Joe, since you knew we are not real, and are just imagined beings, has knowing that made your life easier or harder?”
“Whether we are ‘real’ or ‘imagined,’ or whether life is easy or hard, is irrelevant.
“What, if anything, IS relevant?
“What’s relevant is keeping life going so the system doesn’t implode and everything keeps seeking its potential, which means becoming love, or another way to say it, keep the total entropy low so life, or the system, continues evolving and discovering its potential. Also, life wouldn’t have so much entropy if the one consciousness would quit introducing new consciousnesses that cause high entropy, but then, life wouldn’t be worth living if it wasn’t exploring its potential. IN OTHER WORDS, LIFE IS HAVING FUN, IS AMUSING, ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYING ITSELF DISCOVERING ITS POTENTIAL (AND SO CAN WE) once we quit being selfish, narcissistic, demanding temper throwing little two-year olds.
