ok, so consciousness 'just is' when unmanifested and cannot change at all. It is without form and even without energy.

aware...alive...consciousness
...since I believe that there is only ONE consciousness...and I am conscious...I must be part of the whole of consciousness.
This to me seems less shaky than being form....

So are you without form and energy right now? If you do have form and energy, then consciousness has changed and you are contradicting yourself.

Sorry, I definitely want to live down the rabbit hole...I eat the red pill for breakfast everyday!<humor...but really I want to go to the bottom of the rabbit hole!>
I don't feel great, if I did, that would be better though....I was attempting sarcasm...didn't work.
Wow I screwed that one up...I will have to type <sarcastic remark>...
Yeah...I failed to use sarcasm to make your point above....humanity's experience is perceived through duality...I was attempting sarcasm again with the "nah" on unity...text is hard to get sarcasm through...sorry about that...

Why do you attempt to be sarcastic? You either are or you aren't. This is the opening to the rabbit hole.

Sorry...didn't mean to dismiss you...just lame attempts at humor. I don't deny your dark side...we all have a dark side...I love yours and mine...
...NICE is my preferred mode...it works for me...I guess I need work embracing my "dark side".
...I'm not sure what I am afraid of...not the biggies...I don't fear death...perhaps I fear success (maybe?), or losing my wife...again I don't think about what I am afraid of that much....

Isn't that enough?

The content is secondary in my mind to the goal of helping me (and you) growth into more conscious people.
Honing the skills is secondary to the above goal as well.
You know some of me...there's that word KNOW again. <grin>
I feel the same way about this communication...you are very adept at making me think, consider and express my beliefs...that helps me and you I guess as well.

I am attempting to push your negative buttons but you resist with sarcasm and humour. But you are correct in that I am getting to know you a little better. I hope you get to know yourself better too. I'm sure we will both like you. Down the rabbit hole.........What is underneath the sarcasm and wit?

Well said...I am all for acceptance over denial...why deny or reject what IS...right?...there is darkness...let's accept it.

Now the question is can you put your money where your mouth is?
