great thread, much wisdom from a madman
I told Plato many times to not send his imposters into my cave anymore, he's very stubborn. At least they are not fighting over this cave anymore, it has become more like a duty call... I wonder, will they ever leave me and mine in peace?
"“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
― Frank Zappa

It's all very cryptic...
Your thread title reminds me of this famous quote:
"“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

But what happens when you remove all that from the we that are we? You see the world for what it is to be and the notions of the we to strive towards the we that is a singularity of which are we...
The peace you speak comes from the we that is the eternal infinite me... by me I mean you and is we.

What did this teach you?
What is the world to be?
How do you strive towards the we?
How does this bring you peace?

Nice read, thank you. Sounds like something I would read out of a book by Alan Watts
You may also enjoy the works of Jiddu Krishnamurti if you haven't already heard of him.

Ummmmm.....yeaaahhhhh......
I don't know about the 'we' your 'me' lives in, but if this is all just a "play" -
- what kind of a sicko are 'we' to include characters like the guy in the morning newspaper who was arrested for torturing a toddler to death?!?
- or the guy who posted Facebook video of himself abusing his baby daughter and saying how much he 'loves hurting her'..
The world is real, and there is real EVIL here...and if you are not praying every day for some kind of miraculous solution -
- then you might as well consider yourself part of the problem.

When will the program come to a completion?
Ah... living in the we pray for a solution stage, the stage where we wish for another we to fix the problem by some miracle. Then why have we not fixed it yet? Because we play the play of the we that prays when we can fix it all without the need for a miracle... Seeing the real problem and dilemma yet?
When we decide that we have had enough of it and the curtain lifts, however so far it seems that we have not yet had enough and keep playing out the play so well that we have forgotten what it was all about in the first place...
