The universe is gods mind trying to comprehend itself Maybe

Its a bit of a stretch, you are assuming the being before is conscious.

On a smaller scale, that is like saying the stars are conscious and we are simply star bits divided among them, which will reunify.

God has no mind. It does... it... a disservice calling it a "god." that's not what it is. It is simply all, and nothing less.

Agree almost completely. I've had epiphanies where for days after I could sense God behind everything. He's right there, but it's almost like he's pretending he's not to experience something, or let us pretend we're our own consciousness.

>that is like saying the stars are conscious and we are simply star bits divided among them, which will reunify.
Nice theory. Consider this: An artist needs something outside of himself in order to express himself. Drawings, music etc...

Maybe we are the suns way of expressing itself and it does this with the help of the earth. We are the music of the sun. Via us it becomes conscious.

We should infuse other planets with life and help other stars express themselves. Maybe each star creates unique life. All stars together help a galaxy express and experience itself. All galaxies the entire universe/god.

No the universe isn't conscious (yet). It is our job to infuse it with consciousness.

Why should everyone have to realise this? Isn't the life more interesting when you do not know that it is an illusion? Most of us wants to believe that the world is solid, and these kind of believes serves them. Do you see, that it is necessary for everyone to "wake up"?

Just because it's an illusion doesn't mean there is nothing. It may be a simpler explanation of a bigger truth.

Old rots, new is life. Its pretty simple that a snake sheds its skin, but doesnt die from it.. Still its reborn all the same.

>implying

I had an epiphany while on psys once. I realized I was the same thing as the rest of the universe, (if the big bang is true) experiencing itself. Thus knowing the "purpose of life." So it's hard to argue against for me.

I think trying to tie it into human's fantasies of God just complicates it into something less true. I don't really see the connection between it and Man's personification of it.

>>18420972
what if god is actually a person who is in hell for all eternity created by an even greater and immensely more evil god, and we're all actually nightmares in the mind of a man stuck in hell?

Isn't this Hinduism?
Brahman creates Illusion because it is a play?

You're getting warmer

>>18420972
yeah i have dabbled with the same concept for years however i do not think a concious like the source can die ( i don't like "god" as a term) anyway, we simply transform.

you might like the teal swan videos she does believe the same thing, however she is also an anti vaxxer so ... yeah

>>18423067
yes you are semi correct i believe. this would be the opposite way to seeing things as the one hare krishnas teach prabupadda tought the right hand path, this would be the left.

ever-complexifying forms of energy conservation vs. the inexorable expansion of the universe? or, in other words, is it all about nothing more than, like, smoke-whorls?

>the goal
This is the only point I disagree on. Goos music and play, dance and drama are beautiful because the point is not an imagined output, the point is immersion in the process itself.

There is no point afterwards, this is it baby!

How do you know I'm not god?

The dance of the universe will continue until the night of Brahma when it will rest only to arise again ad infinitum.

For the most part I agree with the sentiment that the universe is God experiencing itself. I had a bad trip one time on acid, and the feeling of isolation and nothingness is what I would imagine God would have felt before the world was born. During the trip, I believed I was in hell, and it was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. But once I came out of it, it made me value the world so much more than I ever had before.

>. The old god is going to die but we can become the new god and create a new universe.
whats this we business you speak of. from where i stand you probably cant defend yourself from half assed astral projection attacks

how many daggers can one of your eyes swallow when they are thrown at you ? i bet its only 2. what about em field how strong is yours? your probably just a walp.

i bet you havent even flayed a abomination and you sit there ranting about becoming god

I think this happened to me on psyches. It was a very strange feeling and it freaked me out.

You don't come across at all egotistical

Not OP but yes, was going to post the same thing

Don't quote the rift cycle saga ending as your own idea.

Boredom and loneliness are still limitations.
Consider another idea: This universe is one among many- the limitations of this universe are primitive; dualistic, survival, etc...

Maybe instead of being far away he just put himself in another dimension that we can't perceive. He would be at the same time close to us and separate
