Probably what would work best is to coin some fresh vocabulary that can be defined more precisely. But for right now, I'm still experimenting with different ways of explaining an experience that is beyond words. Any verbal description of SR is a mere projection, like a circle to a sphere. |
Let's just use GOD for a second. I don't mean a dude on a throne. I mean the kind of God-consciousness you mean. But lets just call that God for a second.
In your SR model, you're basically saying that you (God you) is creating this whole reality and everything in it. Everything is contained in your (God) consciousness. RIght?
Therefore, would it be accurate to say that your version of SR means that God is creating everything and everything is contained inside God? If so, uhm... so what? Isn't that kind of already a given for anyone who is not an atheist?
God created earth, and 7 billion people, one of them happens to be Steve Pavlina. When Steve Pavlina is sitting and eating dinner one day, looking at his dining room and his house from an Objective Reality point of view with one eye, he simultanously has an experience of realization that from a Subjective Reality point of view ALL of this, the dining room, the fork, the plates, the table, even Steve himself is all made by God and everything is inside God.
Uhm...ok... that's great, but so what? Besides the realization that God creates everything and ANYTHING is possible within God, how does that affect anything to the human being called Steve Pavlina? Doesn't , under your model, Steve Pavlina still live very much in an OR world with OR rules???
I don't quite see how it fits in.
