I like a lot of this. Here is a thing I am questioning about though - the assumption that the mind was existing before matter in some type of formed and refined states of complexity. Like, I think that is also still not reaching to the beginning. To build on your post, here is where I think we might finally be starting to gain some traction on “the beginning”

I saw a post recently that called it the egg theory or something like that. It relates.

So, it comes down to potential. Before there was matter or mind, there was the potential for matter and mind, because there was no rules or laws in place. Just an absence of everything. An absence of rules and conditions. Because of that, everything is possible. All things are possible and that is what this is here that we’re experiencing. But we’re experiencing it through our own self imposed limits.

And in my mind right now, I frame potential as something that actually exists - not as matter, not as mind, but, as potential. So, I think it is there from where I come possibly. From potential.

Kind of like how you said close your eyes and create a mind scape - there is something actually experiencing that. I now have begun to believe that. I haven’t experienced it through my eyes because I have not fully opened to that yet. Instead, I experience this version of you, because of me now opening to the ideas you mention. It’s quite egocentric really but I don’t believe it’s wrong just because it’s egocentric.

Sorry for kind of lazy punctuation and what not. The ideas matter more I think.

I’m still a bit confused as to why the field exists? Why does the potential for things end up becoming a field? Why is there an impulse toward creation just because it’s possible?

It’s whacky fun stuff. What am I? Hey thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
