Statement directed to Summer:

Correct me if I am wrong here.
My contention is that the "I" will experience this physical world as long as "I" let it experience it. "I" made a conscious decision to experience this as a way of understanding myself.
(Consequence of the above statement): I started a timer, gave myself "ample" time to understand myself and one day will stop the timer.
So we are touching upon Fate and deciding in advance when the dream should end. When the alarm rings the dream ends, if that is so what about all the outstanding Karma ? But I guess when one wakes up Karma too vanishes like the dream.

It is said that the knower of God becomes God and likewise the knower of the "I" become that too.
But it is also said that "As we think so we become"
I think there are no hard and fast rules as to how each individual souls reache the ultimate, but it is better to have a nice and pleasant journey as far as possible.

The Cake is a Lie.

Although I will add - The Portals exist.

Go figure.

The Matrix movie series, while highly entertaining, was equally superficial in its treatment of ...everything!

Ewww I hate Matrix. Why do people always think of Matrix right away. This has nothing to do with Matrix.

I will be sure to touch upon some of those aspects when I start evaluating experiences.
Just to reiterate, going by Science, there is a start and there will be an end. There's no refuting that fact.

Allow me to go off topic for just a teeny tiny bit: I think you are worker ant at heart. A soldier who will keep marching doesn't matter who is falling on the way side, doesn't matter how inane your commander's rationale is, when he/she/it ordered you to keep marching.



The "commander" orders/judges/decides for us is your take on the Force, K - not mine. I have been saying all along that the Force is non-interfering.

You read with a filter in your mind - a filter that seives out all that info that you either can't refute or can't address as it contradicts what you have made up your mind about. Now, you tell me who is the worker ant here?

Your science fails miserably when it comes to where did that start come from - who set the wheel in motion. The evolution, as we know now, appears to be a domino effect of every thing that caused the next thing to happen. However, science goes back to that very first card only that fell. It is yet to come up with a theory regarding where did that first card come from and what caused it to fall. Don't be so sure about knowing what exactly is the start, K.

Mister. K, you are God's Debris.

Got reminded of this classic again today.

I don't want to start conversations that veer off from the main topic. But my bad, I took the first shot. Tsk Tsk.

But just to clear up your misconceptions about me, I would say this: I said "your commander", not mine. As far as I am concerned, there is no ant, there is no commander, there is no you and there is no "is". I am going back and forth on whether I exist which is why I started the topic - WHO AM I?

Some of it sounds like stuff that I would say. Weird. Since it's a long read, I added it to my favorites and will pour over it at a more convenient time.

So the commander the ant the worker are all just thoughts and when they all fall off and subside then only "That " remains ,the basis for all this the stage.
Shakespeare saw through it all when he wrote
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
