Are we real at all or is this one delusion, a thought.
When I die do I even exist? Once all distortion is removed what is left?
What is left is pure unified consciousness, or pure unified attention. When this attention is on the specific, the specific appears to exist, when it is not on the specific, the specific does not manifest. In that case it is simply aware of being awareness, which is "beingness" or "I am-ness", which is like metaphysical bliss or pure love or however you want to describe the nucleus of aliveness that animates all forms. Within this pure consciousness all possibilities are contained, but not viewed from the lens of separation.
I basically look at the different levels of distortion as "different orbits of infinity". Each level sees the infinity from a different vantage point -- a different ratio of connection vs disconnection. What we call "love" is simply our best human approximation of this unity. Though it is far more exquisite and powerful than we could possibly imagine at our current level of consciousness.
As a portion of the creator's attention, you are free to use your creative power as you see fit. You are free to identify with whatever you want. You will always be the totality, but if you identify as less than the totality before death and want to continue in that identification after death, no one tells you what to do. If you want stay on earth and haunt the living, no one tells you what to do, the rest of infinity simply says, "go for it, who better than you to decide what is right for you". And when you get tired of your lower orbit of infinity, of reality, you are free to leave it, by simply withdrawing attention from the form that you have imagined yourself to be.
There is immense freedom to do whatever it is you truly, in you heart of hearts, want to experience. We are only ever limited by our imagination of what is, which temporarily shapes the attention or beingness that we really are.
Ahhh, The One Infinite One.
Well said brother really enjoyed that.
