And I even now believe that the Wolfram Physics Project model is correct. It can provide an intellectual perspective of how everything is one interconnected wholeness. And the Law of One adds to that by providing an evolutionary cosmic model.
Consciousness is I believe infinity being aware of the finite manifestation of itself. And that consciousness can be in an on state or in an off state. And that the manifestation goes on with total precision even during deep dreamless sleep. Illusions are only how we perceive reality while reality itself is no illusion.
For years I have tried an experiment, (and never succeeded). Have you ever tried to catch the moment between wakefulness and sleep? The point between Realities, (and Non-Realities)? It is like fishing for a fish in murky water because it is so well hidden, you can never find it, (or even see it). It is a part of the Great Mystery? Even in the deepest sleep do we exist? I agree Anders, we must always think of the infinite. The infinite infinities. I am sure that there is more than just one? If the God(s) can spit out the Universe(s), I am sure they can create more than one infinity? The God(s) made Man too feeble and weak, and not giving him enough intelligence and foresight to see more than an immature Mind. As Nietzsche said, Man lives too close to the Apes. And some Apes are more intelligent than Men. Perhaps we should return to the forest and once again become Apes, and evolve a little more? The God(s), they are taunting us?
I have sometimes, only a few times, been able to experience kind of a zone between being awake and falling asleep. But those have been blurry experiences without much content.
Regarding infinity my new idea is that infinity is a potential. A potential that can never be exhausted. Is it important to understand reality through conceptual knowledge? What about the blackening stage in alchemy which I said is about melting down the personal knowledge, haha. My idea is that the true knowledge will be harvested and preserved and then in later stages integrated into direct experience.
