Default How I experience reality

In a few threads in this forum, I have promised that I would post my vision on subjective reality.

You can read it in this article: What is the meaning of my life?

I have only uploaded one part, the rest is for the coming days.
Feel free to give your comments here.

I apprecieate that you are wanting to share your thoughts. Definetly a difficult thing to write about, since I feel that communication in this world is only a labeling of the experience of oneness.

I found it misleading to try to follow that the humand body "I" is unconscious. Labeling the human body existance as unconscious goes against the often stated break out of our ego thoughts being conscious with a load of unconscious habitual stuff along for the ride.

I'm just tyring to understand your point of making a boundary between conscious and unconscious at the level of corporal experience. Are you thinking that all the ego human body world is an unconscious experience? If not, then you might want to use a differnet label or refined the mapping of conscious and unconscious into the split nature of inner and outer experience. But if taken as an analogy, that being in oneness is the Consciousness and Unconsciousness is the ego world (but with conscious and unconscious/habitual parts), I suppose I can follow. But I still have trouble with it because I feel that the ego consciousness is an expression of the oneness consciousness (at least that's what we are striving for, alignment to the oneness so as to not suffer so much), and is not some other objective thing that completly stands by itself. I guess you get to that because the "gap" closes together for you. I feel it more like the ego gets carried away with itself and distracts itself with it's own version of consciousness to the point it can't recognize that it's backed or imbued by the pervasive everlasting conscious oneness of everything. We are probably saying the same thing with different words.

You definetly bump right into duality with targeting happiness. Duality often is attributed to having an ego self, that the whole physcial world is a duality system that we experience.

As everything happens in my imagination, time is not a factor in this scenario. In other words: there is no time between my intention and the manifestation.
I see that. That can also be found in the physical world but is more evident in imagination, for sure. I can feel that way (no time bewteen intention and manifestation) even with my regular ego consciousness. That my body continues to stay together moment after moment is a grand manifestation that I feel I have created since it's me. And there's no time between my body continueing to exist from moment to moment. It stays together really well with my intention to be alive (even though it's a duality existance). Sometimes the awe of noticing this starts a feeling that makes my physical body not so much where my awerness stops, the boundaries of my physical body and the environment blurs.

Just some reactions to reading your writing.

With "unconscious", I meant: "not conscious about his real identity".
I agree that it's better to use another term.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, wolfgang.

In a really weird, and complicated way I proved to myself yesterday that we live in a multi-ego universe, yet everyone has free will.

It's kind of like the movies Pulp Fiction or Snatch or Lock Stock and Barrel, where there are these multiple seemingly non-related stories unfolding, yet by the end everything comes together and you see how everything affects everything else and it's all meshed together into one thing.

It's definitely hard to explain, but the experience of the realization was awesome.

The one thing with your article is that I am still not sure which version you're proposing, single or multiple-ego?

Frans you just put into words something I haven't been able to so clearly. I need to stop being afraid of understanding what I truly am so that my unconscious I and conscious I may merge. Impaul nice snatch analogy, life really is like that.

In that article I haven't said everything, because I'm still missing some bits and pieces to make a definitive conclusion. It's about the last paragraph (and more specifically the last sentence) in my imagination-scenario :

Finally, the two parts of me become one.
This didn't happen yet, so this means that I'm not conscious enough.

I would love to hear your story.
Maybe you can use an analogy to explain it?
