Quote:I've read various descriptions of full blown mystical experiences which are explained as a oneness with the Divine/Cosmic Consciousness/God or whatever you want to call it. None of them include information about the experiences etc of everything in the universe even though Cosmic Consciousness would have this information because it is everything in the universe and has been since the physical universe began. This suggests to me that a human is still very limited in what he or she is equipped to absorb from the experience because the human brain isn't capable of handling it.
Some philosophers of the past reckon that humans are only able to perceive less than 1 % of what is there. Like an iceberg that only show a tiny amount of the whole.
But who really care after all.
As far as you put your trust in that cosmic consciousness the whole will be given to you in the due time.![]()

Quote:By personal consciousness I mean this little individual, Confused Ape. I'm not really an individual, though. I'm a manifestation of Cosmic Consciousness playing a role in the physical universe. I'm only Confused Ape because of the body and brain that Cosmic Consciousness is currently wearing as me. I can't sing, understand higher mathematics, run the four minute mile or paint beautiful pictures because my body and brain aren't equipped for these things. This doesn't matter to Cosmic Consciousness because it's also playing the roles of other humans who can do these things.
I wouldn't really worry whether i can or can not do so many things.
As i just said above the main thing is to put your trust in this cosmic consciousness.
All the rest is really not that important.
How could something that does not lead to real progress like the material world be important?
Why go around and around and getting nowhere is important?
Little Rik Wrote:My believe is that when you will be ready you will merge in this ocean of cosmic consciousness.
You were that entity before and you will go back in it.
Quote:If I go back to it I will cease to exist as Confused Ape. I'll be absorbed into the source which will retain all the information it acquired from playing the role of me.
This can be a difficult philosophical point.
A drop of water that merge into the big ocean doesn't have in her consciousness the dilemma whether it is important or not to merge into the ocean in order to know information or to know any other thing.
She just merge to be back home just like the son that going back home after a long long absence make his father very happy.
Liitle Rik Wrote:All the matter get recycle so your body will also get recycle but the consciousness will not.
The only differences that the consciousness will produce is related to getting more or less awareness.
Awareness of who we really are.
Quote:The way I see it the awareness will be the fact that I'm not real. My body and brain are just a costume worn by Cosmic Consciousness playing a role. Everything in the physical universe is a costume which Cosmic Consciousness is wearing as it plays all these roles at the same time as playing me.
In a way yes but don't forget that this is His game.
Yours is totally different.
You role is to expand your consciousness until a parallelism between you and the cosmic consciousness is reached.![]()
