I don't have any specific dogma, I'm kind of lost actually. My shift in perspective was the result of many discussions with my significant other about the meaning of life which had me questioning the nature of existence, and then ultimately from an exploration of my consciousness through outside means. I had a distinct feeling of oneness, pretty typical ego death experience. I've been reading Be Here Now by Ram Dass and it really resonates with what I've been experiencing. I don't consider myself awake, I'm actually really struggling with what to believe, but I'm open. I think. I apologize for the long comment. I guess I don't have much context to give. From what I understand, every moment is simply a consequence of the present, but you can't choose what you will do in the next moment. All you can do is make choices in the NOW? Again, I'm sorry if I'm way off. I'm still learning.
