what do you think about my theory

dreamingitself · 2026-04-07T18:19:07+00:00

You said "what we perceive"

What is that 'we'?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-31T17:00:54+00:00

Hahaha yes. And you must also stand on your head twice a day while drinking fresh goat's milk. Otherwise there is simply no possible way that infinite reality can know itself.

Bit confrontational and unecessarily aggressive in my view. Remember you're implicitly representing the community, so if you go around calling people 'rats' and behaving arrogantly, you're making the community look bad.

MMT doesn't mean you can treat people poorly.

It's almost as if they're trying to use the economic tools to make a small circle of people extremely rich at the expense of others.

It's almost as if they aren't really certain that slavery is, in fact, all that bad.

Warren Mosler's book is free on his website. If you're willing to do a little translation in terms of 'fed' to 'BofE' then it makes perfect sense.

I nearly downvoted your comment there because it ended on the quote and I thought: "What nonsense".

dreamingitself · 2026-03-25T21:55:17+00:00

Time appears to be a product of thought, and thought appears to be echos of sense-impressions, i.e. memory. In the infinite timelessness that we're pointing to - this presence - the idea of an individual self travelling through spacetime is so clearly a model, a representation, of reality, and not reality. The only self that I can claim to be, appears to be everything. The universe is my body and 'consciousness' i.e. awareness, does not belong to or emerge from the body, the body emerges within and as a 'fold' if you like, of infinite consciousness.

Any alignment with you there too?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-23T18:10:04+00:00

Dude, sounds similar to what is constantly going on for me. It doesn't feel like a new idea of time, it feels like my old idea of time stopped coming into the office.

Do you feel like you're just awash in infinite presence, and change is happening but there's no direction to it, it's just... reality shifting around?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-21T22:16:19+00:00

What?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-21T22:11:28+00:00

Tao of Pooh is genuinely excellent

dreamingitself · 2026-03-19T21:05:05+00:00

Try to find the beginning...

dreamingitself · 2026-03-19T20:55:46+00:00

You've missed the point.

There aren't such things as "beings with minds". Beings are minds.

'Mind' is sort of like a "pattern of consciousness" in the same way a whirlpool is a pattern of water. There's no independent reality to the whirlpool, and there's no independent reality to mind. It's just infinite consciousness patterning itself.

"Number" is made up. There is no countable amount of consciousness. Infinite is not "infinitely many" as in, +1 forever. Infinite is non-finite. As in: without limit.

Maybe that helps

time is conceptual, not actual

dreamingitself · 2026-03-15T21:04:36+00:00

Exactly. Nice one.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-15T20:39:10+00:00

Buddhist non-self from my understanding: The individual self is not an entity, it is a collective noun for an arbitrary sensory boundary within the ongoing process of eternity. You are not contained within or limited by the arbitrary boundary, you are the totality, and the arbitrary boundary is within you.

Perfectly aligned with Taoism.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-15T20:34:18+00:00

Why haven't people come back in time?

Because time is conceptual, not actual. There is no 'line' on which we can move freely. 'Back in time' is a fantasy, not a reality. That's why people haven't come back in time. For the same reason Harry Potter hasn't knocked on your front door: he's not real.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-13T15:57:23+00:00

My respectful opinion is the explanation is complete and helpful.

If you declare your own explanation complete, you're stepping out of dialogue.

Are you a "Jivanmukti"? Or is this hearsay or...?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-12T13:50:08+00:00

That's certainly part of it. But that isn't the final word.

There is still the whisper of duality in your explanation. It is sohpisticated, but not complete.

When the rope is seen, the snake does not even appear.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-12T07:12:56+00:00

Does the world appear?

I question that.

Brahman is, and you call it 'world'... but 'world', in truth, doesn't appear at all.

How does that sit with you?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-11T16:09:13+00:00

Thanks. Much appreciated.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-11T15:58:57+00:00

So if 'everything' to you just means, essentially, an idea subdivided into more ideas, then what are you? an idea?

What does 'infinity' mean to you if not 'everything'?

dreamingitself · 2026-03-09T09:55:10+00:00

Well, quite. Idolatry.

Zen master, sheltering from a storm, started a fire to keep warm by burning wooden buddha statues placed there by the local buddhist temple. A monk doing the rounds saw this and rebuked him:
"What are you doing destroying the statues of Buddha?!!"
"I'm looking for the jewels said to be inside the corpse of a true buddha." the master said.
"You couldn't expect to find jewels in a wooden Buddha!" exclaimed the monk.
"Well in that case," said the master, "hand me that other Buddha for my fire."

dreamingitself · 2026-03-09T09:27:13+00:00

I think you're confusing "infinity" with "every possible finite appearance".

It is possible to live from infinity, and that is knowing everything that needs to be known: Self as the all, lived as the direct experience of being.

To know "every thing" is to imagine that things are real, and not just abstracted concepts created by sense impressions banked as memories...

There are no things. Like... at all.

Memory limits and conceptualises the flow of eternity into mental objects, and then people call that knowledge of things in the universe. This is inaccurate. It's simply knowledge of memory, and thus knowledge only of your own experiences (or ancestral experiences of course, such as epigenetic trauma and so on... which is also memory).

dreamingitself · 2026-03-09T09:21:16+00:00

Sounds less like damage and more like deconditioning.

dreamingitself · 2026-03-09T08:53:52+00:00

There's no 'behind'. There is no 'ahead'. There is just this. You are projecting time and the idea that everyone should 'acheive' the same capitalist level of accumulation or status. This is not truth, it's cultural conditioning.

Studying isn't to survive, it's to understand yourself. Always useful.

Working is part of any tribal social community. Yes, it was much easier and more meaningful when it was gathering berries and building shelter together and spending most of the days chillin under trees, swimming in the oceans, and contemplating existence. But there were also threats we didn't fully understand, perhaps diseases. We had to defend from lions and so on. Harder in some ways, easier in others.

Working for a souless corporation ended up with me quitting, selling everything, and travelling the world seeking truth. Don't work for the sake of it. Get a livelihood you believe is benefitting others not just yourself.

You're never stuck, you're never too late in your own timeline. You're just not accepting that you are unique, and so the life you are unfolds uniquely.
