The mysterious nature of time

[zenmaster]

Did you somehow think it was purported to be something else?

Yes. Absolutely, I think it is.

Just like the very entertaining man Meerie posted video of. He says "don't try to change others".... Get it?

It definitely seems that you are still confusing your "as if it were the case" with "it is the case".

Thanks Zen. I like the first video that mentions wonder. Though we can't be in wonder all the time, there's so much to experience. Can we recognize our I amness in an expanded state? Or do we recognize it moreso in a balance of expanded and contracted state?

If I am right, Love is expanding, Light is contracting. When I create/manifest a taste (a form of light) for instance, I tighten down the energy.

In your own words, what is your "expanded" vs "contracted" state?

By expanded state I was referring to the mental outlook. When I am in wonder, I cannot think "i am" in wonder, because it snaps me out of wonder. We would have to recognize our I amness with being rather than thinking about it. I guess then "I am" becomes "am".

That makes it easier to talk about. There are different aspects and levels (or states) of "expansion", as obviously you can still be "expanded" and have limited awareness (based on what part of "you" is being applied).

If the subconscious mind is tied to conscious in some fasion as it appears to be, is the subconscious infinitely deep, or is only the unconscious infinite? I am assuming conscious mind is not infinite, if we are limiting to what we directly perceive.

We can't have total consciousness or total unconsciousness. Consciousness is finite (although infinitely unique in quality), it's our awareness. The subconscious is like a blurry layer between conscious and unconscious. The unconscious is effectively infinite. In Jungian terms the "higher self" would be all of the unconscious made conscious. Here in 3D, to use a bad analogy, the unconscious is like 99.999...% of what makes up "you".
