You are a watcher, not a person. You watch the person. You watch the mind. You watch the universe. If there is a god you are it and it is you. There is only one thing, how could it be any other way. You cannot control things you can only experience them. How can you control one thing when everything is connected. You cannot change things already set in motion just as you cannot stop the seconds from counting down on the clock.

Watch the person, watch it grow and understand and love because with understanding comes love. See the faults and weaknesses in the person and witness the person do their best in this world against their shortcomings, as all people do. Know that what you see in the person is what is in all people, that we are all the watcher and we are all struggling to understand and love ourselves. And through this learn to love all people and be released from negativity.

Well people can think about or debate what I am saying if they want to. If they think about it then awesome! If they debate it that can be even more fun. I wrote what I wrote, if people simply dismiss it without thinking about it then that's their business not mine. They can say it's because I didn't provide enough supporting argument, I could say it's because of laziness or disinterest. It would be very difficult to objectively claim one of us as being right.

Oh I see, so if I make a bad argument and fail to convince people, then they must all

To say it's not well thought out would be ridiculous as you have no idea how much thought went into it.

I have experienced this multiple times. The first time I was really really tired from being physically overworked and had I not learned how to release control and just enter flow state, moving my body without thinking, well. I might have passed out. The way I see it is almost like you are allowing spirit to take control, resting your mind which in turn rests your body, because if the mind is not controlling the body then the body doesn't feel like it is tiring.


This is really sublime insight. I would ask what motivated you to begin when there are all these distractions? How do you focus on long-term fulfillment instead of instant or shorter-term satisfaction? I feel like an instant gratification junkie, never sober enough where I can actually muster enough willpower to even BEGIN to move toward fulfillment. And when I do it is a short-lived effort.

I had thoughts about the concept of an "oversoul" recently. I thought I may write a blog about it but I don't think it would be the best place for it as I'm not sure I want to talk about it beyond mentioning the idea.

Let's pretend that humans have souls that are separate due to the separation of consciousness from each body to the next. The goal of each soul is to grow and develop into something stronger and greater than it is. Now there is also an oversoul, which I'll call "the collective group of souls within an arbitrarily defined area like a star system or galaxy, which remain separated by consciousness but are connected by the sub/unconscious." If all the souls in the oversoul were to suddenly realize, unconditionally, that they are connected to each other in every way, the result would be the oversoul.

So the oversoul's goal is, much like its separate souls, to grow and develop into something stronger and greater than it is. How it does this is by the interactions the subsouls (=souls) have on the whole. People like Buddha (if he existed) and Ghandi and Hitler, Tutankhamen and da Vinci, Pope Boniface VIII and Galileo Galilei have made large impacts on the collective experience in this realm. It is the growth of individual souls that both impacts and creates growth in the oversoul. So this kind of quality of life is something we should all be striving for, for if we believe in souls, the apparent best way to grow is by impacting the oversoul.
