Yes, brilliant. THat's what I think too. God, defined as being all there is, would have no need for subjective reality. Subjective reality is only needed when used by an incomplete being that believes in duality at the moment. Subjective reality requires duality.

If our own subjective reality was all there was, and we realized that, wouldn't that feel kind of pointless? "Ok, so I just made up the last 24 years of my life. What do I want to make up about the next 40?" Where's the challenge and fulfillment there? How can you find happiness if you believe in subjective reality?

Your spirit/soul participates in subjective reality. Why? Because it's using it for a purpose. Whether you want to say it's to learn a lesson of some sort, to overcome some form of flaw or imperfection, or just to experience life, in either case there is some form of purpose behind the need for subjective reality to exist other than it existing just because we haven't figure out it exists yet. If it worked that way, there would be this big world of 6 billion people (all subjective reality projections) and then all of a sudden while doing something, someone on earth realizes we're in a subjective reality and with that realization POOOF we all dissapear back into being God.

We don't need to experience anything on earth, we choose to experience it. I believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and we choose to have these experiences because it helps us understand ourselves better and evolve more.

Yes, and because we are spiritual being that still need to understand ourselves better or learn lessons, it means we are still incomplete/unperfect spirits. In other words, we haven't yet realized and accepted fully that we are actually God. Our lessons here take us in that direction.

This may be too woo woo for some people, but I believe that before we come to earth as humans, we are given a mission to complete and we choose certain aspects and experiences of our life. We choose the family we will be born into. We choose the country, the timeperiod, and many of the major events in our life.

We all come here with a purpose. Whether that mission is to be hurt so that we can know love better, to spread our light to foreign lands or to give others the opportunity to help us, it's up to each individual to figure out and to pursue.

Yup, except that I believe we don't choose BEFORE we arrive, we choose WHILE we arrive. Meaning, we are continually choosing our realite in the present moment. In other words, the future and the past are not as stable as we think they are.
