Oh. I thought it was a simple yes-or-no question.
I find "TheOneConsciousnessWhoCreatesAllAvatars" a bit cumbersome, don't you? So I call it my Expanded Self. The avatar, "Angela" appears to be separate from the avatar called "John Freestone, Wilderness Priest"
but you and I are part of one big soup -- we're in this together. "John Freestone" is not a figment of "Angela's" deranged imagination. They are equally real, as long as you consider projections of my Expanded Self's consciousness "real." (I often do, just because it's a little inconvenient to have to go around discussing the illusory nature of physical reality all the time. There is chocolate to be eaten, after all.
) Angela is no more important than John, just because she happens to be me.
My Expanded Self is timeless, but Angela and John appear to be temporary. Structures are unstable.
I'll bet there is a Pink Unicorn, but I don't pray to her or expect gifts on Horn Day. She is not hosting a cocktail reception for my dead parents in Uniheaven, I don't think. But now that I've conceived of it, maybe she is! Have a Brave Bull for me, Mom, cheers!
Boy, that was a lot of smilies, wasn't it? I think I was inspired by the mention of chocolate.
