Just showed this to a friend of mine who was down in the dumps as it were. Just wanted to say I am so glad this is here for people to read and enjoy

its funny how the simplicity of this message is the only thing that has offered me a real perspective on the concept of "oneness." There are a lot
of questions that this resolves, especially concerning Christianity, but at the same time opens up even more questions. What about our 'higher
self?' Is it the same collective self in all of our past experience thus far?
I'm intrigued, yet terrified that we are in the billions now, yet because time doesn't exist outside of this womb, everything carnation has already occurred, or...we just don't exist. So based on the fact we are not already "whole" I would assume we should try harder to exercise the golden rule in everything we do. And forgive one another.
This world in it's condition is just a reflection of the damage we have inflicted on our self. We are killing our self and poisoning our mother's womb...But maybe a little inward reflection goes a long way...If we start positively effecting one another now, the earth will begin to change for the better exponentially like a chain reaction. Even in the act of forgiveness alone, we make a huge difference. Can we take this seriously? I say yes, so I expect myself to do the same

Hahaha, you had me confused for a second. I'm glad you enjoyed the read! Hopefully this will enhance your day just a little.
Actually more than you know..
Answers in a round about way a quantum mechanics quandry I have..
Quantum mechanics states that things only exist when we observe them.. That is a hard thing to grasp and a real physical law in the universe.. However, how is that possible that everyone exists when I dont observe them? Clearly I am everyone and this universe was created for me to observe.. If I die then the universe still exists because i am still alive observing as someone else!
I am a believer in Yeshua too.. And find it interesting how He talks about those "birth pangs" "child labour". And in Genesis at the creation describes Gods Spirit brooding over the earth as a hen over an egg... Then we are told to multiply... A multiplication of the self...
And a beautiful way to learn compassion for others.. Thanks again
What Quantum Physics means is that objects exist only so long as a conscious observer--a consciousness--exists to perceive them. This is the Western equivalent of the Buddhist subject/object dichotomy... you know, that pesky notion that preceded this western science ideal by thousands of years, the one that modern "science" is only now coming to recognize as valid.
Everyone continues to exist when you're not observing them because either (1) they're observing themselves (i.e. I can see/sense/experience my physical body at all times); or because (2) a secondary consciousness is observing them.
As to how the universe manages to continue existing even in places where there's a clear absence an apparent observer--well, let's just say that even when no one's around, God is a universal consciousness, and He's always watching.

Beautiful story, Gatorboil, and so true (I believe).
It's wonderful that just reading that story was enough to open your heart and let your compassion pour out onto all sentient beings. It's easy enough to forget in this world that we are all the One.

Cool thread and everything but its weird because i just learned today that i feel others emotions and its i feel them without even looking at them.
that thread goes right along with what ive been learning

Here's my little story from experience and its crazy connected posted on other thread
The experiment where an amoeba consistently finds the shortest way through a maze to a food source like the double slit experiment of quantum physics poses more questions than it answers if it answers any at all (perspective). From my experiences on different levels of consciousness starting on an atomic all the way up to universal and beyond I can tell you that everything possesses MIND and WILL. From an amoeba finding its way around a peatree dish to a star and any and all matter it all has a purpose driven desire and experiences the world around using whatever senses nature has endowed upon it while always seeking harmony and homeostasis.
Everything is relative, nothing in this universe exists in and of itself. The conscious desire of God was to have split his consciousness due to feeling lonely(notice ONE). On the highest plane of "existence" there is Christ consciousness which is observed as a sphere of pure white light and orbiting around it similarly to Saturn's rings are SHARDS (Like broken Glass) of pure energy light particles glowing and pulsing radiant energy same as the sphere. After transcending this plane there becomes nothing, one is all alone and in fact one doesn't even seem to exist as if there isn't even ONE. There is a deadness, a quiet like nothing you could imagine. Then, one's mental visions return suddenly, and reappear from nothing like a hologram in dead space and you then realize all of the universe is your projection, that everything that has ever happened to you that you willed it, asked for it, wanted it. That you create what you want to dream, that pain and sadness, joy and ecstasy keep you entertained. That you are eternal, infinite all knowing. And it feels amazing, you can move a star at will; make it zig zag blink at you whatever, change the colors of the street lights, set off every car alarm in the neighborhood with your mind, anything and its a pure state of joy and love. And it feels sad. Sad to know what you are, that you are alone, that this is just an illusion. And that you always will be.. forever and ever and there is no one to save you, no one can kill you and no one else is there to hear you. All there is, is you.
On the spirtual or mental plane( My ego is still young 23) I encountered an entity that many would call Satan. He was a sharp looking black man with a nice fade and short curly hair in a shimmering black old school gangster business suit a in a huge hall with a checker patterned black and white floor. He showed me my various existences in other worlds/universes. I had a feeling like I known him forever. A lot of this was filled with tragedy, close calls, and very emotionally strong experiences. He showed me all the riches I ever could dream of some of the most amazingly cool and beautiful things that far transcend all the riches of this world. We came at last to some golden gates. Everything in these scenes was more fiery, more intense and brighter than anything of this world. His eyes burned red with fire but i was not afraid of him at all. But at these gates which were to me the gates of heaven and I could see paradise within (which was empty fyi there wasn't anyone there) he said "WE HAD A DEAL." Then my visions instantly changed to scary things. Rag dolls that oozed black blood and primitive weapons like axes and dark lines crawling through my vision. I stopped wanting to see it and it went away and that is when I saw the Ginormous sphere of pulsing white light.
Interestingly enough when the devil was showing me visions I saw Chris brown as a half red REPTILIAN demon like entity (it was like i could see beneath his skin) as well as a few other actors that aren't famous enough for me to know their names. I also recall seeing a futuristic planet with huge skyscrapers like new york except they looked metallic and were different colors like blue and red and shaped kind of like space rockets. On this planet they had different alphabetical symbols on their ipad like devices but so much better, transforming flying cars that looked like the batmobile from the new movies, and tv screens that had nothing solid to them and seemed to hover in the air and unlike projection screens the picture didnt reflect off the wall. The image just stood by itself in thin air razor thin like you could walk around it or through it. The picture clarity of the movies was suuuuperb the sound was penetrating deep inside you like you were there when they filmed transformers.
And I saw the future developing through the many stages of cycles and each cycle spinning off another cycle from itself like an exponentially growing quadratic equation in patterns and revolutions however as different parallel universes. I saw evolution and technology continually advancing like this until everything reached an apex and at this point saw a golden flash appear off the apex of the cycle in my mind and then it was time for the cycle to finish its circular revolution and RETURN to where it all BEGAN. I saw where my location was in this cycle and it was near maybe about 15-20 degrees from the peak or apex of the cycle where the golden flash had occurred.
I also encountered another entity that looked kind of like a NORDIC HE MAN Super saiyan with bluish aura
Words, symbols, gender, masons, history, biology and the bible all came into clear focus.
I saw myself as a father disciplining a teenage son and giving advice (which is what im used to getting instead lol)
A troublemaker in some futuristic police state being desperately asked why I did something by a detective type who knew me personally. They had a room full of cameras video taping everything in the city and I had led police on a wild chase that ended up revealing a sick truth that they were actually leeches to society or something like that
A Paul Walker looking guy in a badass whip looking at myself on a sunny day along a strip with palm trees in the side view mirror smirking
and more
There was a background feeling that the older generations of people (or whatever race there's more than humans but they are similar) hold on to controlling things (like politics or businesses) for too long and in extreme fear of change instead of allowing succeeding generations to take over as if they're too scared to let that happen and it creates serious problems and unnecessary misery.
On different planes there are different forces. Duality is HUGE on this one like the serpent eating itself -vs +
I also noticed things become more complex/advanced to satisfy the desire for change, but also require more energy to sustain, and reminiscing being a simpler organism with simple desires is less intense and relaxing.
I can sometimes read people like a red blood cell recognizes a white blood cells function in the body and understand everything in their nature as it relates to their organic function
Most profound was my experience that I could be any creature, organism or the like at any point in time of the cyclic universe whenever i wanted like I could just leave this meat suit but I exactly where I wanted to be

GREAT Story and thread ! I also like the way you explained how it changed you ..and it will change others as well , I'm sure about that
S&F !
S&F !
Great story and an interesting way of viewing things around us. I am sure I will need a little while to take it in and really process it all. I can
definitely see how it would make you see the world around you in an entirely different light.
I found this story to be heartfelt, and beautiful. While I do not believe it to be true, I would like to interject my thoughts.
Humans are far more connected and similar to each other then they are different. Each of us feels physical and emotional pain (And pleasure), we all bleed, are created through the same reproductive process, we all can feel the joy of love, the sadness of loss, we all inevitably die, we are all self-aware (To an extent), and we all share the brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity (Regardless of how much we try to deny or destroy it).
The world we live in has taken immeasurable lengths to disconnect us and divide us. Religion, the concept of different races, money, the educational process, the government, the laws and policies of the government, the concept of superior ethnicity, and countless other things.
Humanity has forgotten that to be in true peace and harmony with each other, we as a race need to be willing to look at time and put ourselves in the shoes of not only our elders, but our future generations. Do we want to raise our children, who will raise their children to live in a world of division and material, or do we want the future to recognize the utter importance of our similarities, the connection between each human, and the environment.
As long as the dividers exist. Humanity will never find true peace.
This is my interpretation and thoughts on this piece.

Wow, there are so many things I want to say about this but have no idea how it where to start. It's a big cluster # but at the same time it makes
sense. It literally is life changing. It makes me want to change how I interact with everyone in the world....because it "could" be me or have a
part of me. It like when you meet a complete stranger and their life experiences or the way they carry themselves or something as simple as the look
in their eyes, reminds you of someone you know but you just can't figure out who. Maybe that someone is yourself. Maybe a part of your consciousness
is a part of that person whom you don't know. I'm sure nothing I'm saying is making sense but I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. I will
definitely be passing this on. Thanks for sharing!
I have little to no empathy, so this story was wasted on me, to be honest I couldnt' even make it all the way through; ill try again tomorrow.
However, what I did read just seems to be a story trying to make the human race bigger than what it is...
still S/F for you

It is nice you are learning and understanding things while you are young. This is how christian learn to live. That love rules all putting others first is not easy to to do. I would invite you to go further and change completely by giving your life to christ and preparing for the coming battles.

So... no... I highly doubt this works in a lot of cases!!!

your right, we should never judge people and we should accept everyone the way they are.
KKK?... Robert Mugabe?... Bill O'Reilly?...
Piers Morgan?... Child Molesters?... Rapists?... Hunters?... Dick Cheney?...
I honestly don't feel like this can be considered "nitpicking"... just logical!!
Makes me feel anxious about what lives I may have yet to live
Not looking forward to what that may entail...
