OH SHIT LOOKING THIS UP THANK YOU

OH SHIT LOOKING THIS UP THANK YOU

Yeah that "God knowing about himself" is the "reality is a school" theory. That this reality is a school for God to learn about himself. A lot of stuff I've seen talks about how once upon a time, God was everything, but being everything is boring so God "killed himself" in order for "us" to live. Sacrifice. I'm pretty big into the Law of One too, and that states that every so often God coalesces back into himself and the whole thing starts over again anyways.

And I stull dunno if ego death is really the solution or even what that passage is saying. Could be that once you "see God" you realize that you are God and stop playing the incarnation prison game, stop living in the physical reality.

Just seems kinda shitty and stupid to me. All this time spent being a personality over and over again, learning and gaining just to lose all of that unique personality? The whole point of it all was to build up that unique personality.

I've never heard of the gold / silver age theory specifically but that kinda makes sense in the sense that most technology hasn't been good for us. I personally think that us humans are older than that but whatever.

It kinda seems like the elite keep us here for some reason. I think it might have to do with the fact that reality on exists when observed, so they need sheep to observe. They then control the sheep and get the to view reality how they want it to be. Death and destruction.

I'll take a look at those videos, seems like he only posted 3 so thats not too much.

Good luck to you too! Discussing the meaning of reality and its implications is probably the topic most worth discussing imo. Always fun, but seems like too few and far between even know enough to have it sadly.

Think about it this way:

If the light within is the spark of god, and it was distributed when god (whatever it is) broke the comisc monad ("broke the egg" or the ego), pouring forth pieces of his awareness into all of us--

if this is the case, breaking our ego is the same as rejoining god. This would mean recognizing the light within, or breaking the ego, and rejoining god, are all really the same thing.

Now consider, what is the nature of miracles?

They appear as something from nothing?

But the very idea of a miracle, is that it is something great, not simply impossible, or extraordinary, but benefit bestowed on someone else.

The penultimate example miracle, was jesus dying on the cross for sin, as it were.
This is the example of a "miracle with sacrifice."
In this case selfsacrifice, or service of others.

Whereas many miracles are committed with no apparent cost:

Either by station (casting wicked spirits out of a man, and into a herd of animals), or by fiat (striking a stone to produce water).

These are what we may term "exertion" miracles, because they rely on both the exercise of faith, and an act, and simultenously the giving up ones self, ones own ego, to a higher power.
Another way of saying this is documented miracles (which you may not believe in part or at all, I don't really know you, but for which I have witnessed a few of my own, so I don't get much choice in whether I believe them or not).

Likewise there are the 'smaller' miracles, with the fish and loaves for example. And these required the initial sacrifice of the smaller portion of existing fish and loaves they had on hand.

Finally we have the "famine" miracles or "poverty" miracles, such as the manna from heaven, where apparent blessings came from nothing. But we can see even then the suffering itself was its own sort of sacrifice.

In each case, the idea is that something is given up for something to be gained, physical, and spiritual, and that even in the case of the physical, there is a commiserate spiritual component, even if people are unaware of it.

Awareness, the ego, is the connection between mind and body, spirit and flesh. Therefore, like a gate, the dissolving of the ego, is the unity of the flesh and the will in its purest form.

He who would have the world for himself, acts against the world. He who would alter the world, must give all of himself to it.

The great miracle may be, by popular trend, unfortunately highlighted, perhaps (but only just) in men like alexander, or napoleon, but that may be an artifact of time and place and less "the great man" explanation after all. Everyone attributes all sorts of mystical stations and properties to them at the end of the day.

But suppose it is true that they 'did' it, and yet retained their ego. If sleep is a 'little death', then they some how must have achieved 'ego sleep' over egodeath, because their feats were not merely accomplishments of skill or genius, but also some might say, of preternaturally-formed good luck and timing.

you too fren
