I think you're a fucking pussy of a philosopher caught up in political dogmas.

Not crackpot enough. 1/10. Please try again.

I feel I was a bit harsh here. Let me explain. I was projecting. I only replied because a bit of your post hit and you asked for it and shit... my main problem was with you being worried about offending 2014 peer reviewed science, as if it holds the answers. It doesn't. Fuck 'em.

As for the universe, its atoms exist within you and in a sense whatever you perceive could be the universe. If you believe you are infinite consciousness then okay, I have heard a lot of stranger things. Frankly I was just severely disappointed you didn't talk about seeing dead people in the walls or travelling to other astral realms.

We probably misunderstand eachother due to the subjectivity of terminology and the nature of humans to generally communicate in miscommunication. That said, as obvious as this observation is, the universe is probably an empty god because you define yourself as such.

I perceive this as an uneccesary limitation of the infinite possibilities of awareness/consciousness, perhaps in order for comfort. Some people are scared of failure and believe in this limitation to protect themselves - they don't believe more in the universe in case it doesn't fulfill their dreams.

Others limit the universe because they are scared of success. It might actually be as the Buddhist said, or better, and that frightens the fuck out of a determined ego.

We can discover this in more detail but I will have to charge for our next session.
