I don't mean "supernatural" when I say spiritual. I'm more talking about a general personal experience held by each individual that constitutes their own personal truth. Each individual has their own universal reality where the unseen and the seen weave themselves together. We're all pretty much the same creature with the same basic needs, yet we all have something about ourselves that makes us a unique person.
This is where I see the opening to the why the paradoxes exist. Its because we are one nondualistic cosmic creature. There is one divine all and we are a piece of it the same as a liver cell is a piece of a human. But we are also built by little bits and pieces of bits of pieces of bits and pieces. So of course we experience a feeling of separation from our divine union with the universe, or what I call God.
I believe that in our pre-existence (pre-bigbang) we existed as 1 solid entity built upon two perfectly symbiotic states of matter. I believe this entity held consciousness and consciously killed itself in order for more creation to spring forth. I also believe that we have the history of our making from the big bang until present written in our DNA.
Even if you think I'm full of shit, I'm curious what y'all believe concerning dualism vs nondualism. I say both
Sounds like a pretty good high, and I kind of wanna know what you were on?
I took some pot a few weeks back, and I had a similar experience, though perhaps less intense. I was high and drunk, and the effect was a feeling of being drunk and sober at the same time. And I started picturing it as alternating between mutliple universes, a universe in which I'm sober, and one in which I'm drunk, one in which my I was sober, and my friends were drunk, and vice versa. And I thought of how all this is conceivable mentally, but not necessarily physically. Then I had a nagging thought, what if it's all mental. That world and everything in it, is just a product of some grand consciousness, and we're just a part of that vast thought in his mind. Rather than everything being reduced to the physical, perhaps it's ultimately all reducible to the mental. The world we conceive in our minds, being very much such a world.
Needless to say it was a good high, and a bit intense.
