I have pondered this before in other entries, but of course as we all well know...each step taken down the path gives a different perspective from which to view the same idea. So here are the by-products of my new ponderings for you to consider. "Some say I am the observer" I used to like this idea, but now I have a slightly different take on it. I kind of like this new approach (at least as the flavour for this month) - "I am that which I am before I take up the action of observing". From this statement I have two angles to explore. One, Observing is a verb...an action. But I am a 'being'. An action is what I do. But who I am, is that which is before anything occurs. Any action is a deviation from being. Energy being, is quite different from Energy in motion.
The second part for me to explore is this: In this state of being prior to observing, there is nothing. I am ONE, and I am nothing (no thing that I can be aware of). For awareness would have to be an action. Therefore, even self awareness would be a point I would have to evolve to. Further evolution would result in me becoming aware of my surroundings; then my affect on those surroundings, and so on. If indeed, I was to become self aware, as the totality of all that is, for I would perceive that I was...due to the fact that I am not yet aware of anything else if indeed there is in fact anything else out there; then I would be very alone, even lonely, and there would be little for me to do, but to contemplate, and observe what I think of.
I am going to go out on a limb. Try not to get too caught up in the terminology, and replace words to suit your own level of acceptance.
I must be God. Why? Because God is omnipresent, and there is nothing outside of God. There cannot be God and Me. That would imply that there were two. If God, in whatever form or idea you conceptualise God to be, was everything, and had evolved to be self aware, then God would only know of itself. If God were a mind, there would need to be an observer of that mind. There would need to be the substance of mind. If God were able to observe one idea in mind, through another idea, each idea would feel real to the one being observed through.
How many observers are there? Actually...you answer that....only one. "ME" Everything else...is a perception...to you. There are many perspectives for the observer to view from, and from inside the mind of God...there is no time. So moving from observing through one idea to another would seemingly occur instantaneously, giving rise to the perception of a mind...made in the image of God's mind...housed within the perspective God observes from, that there were 'others' observing simultaneously=You & Me. Lets explore further. God replicates his own mind, in layer after layer after layer, going deeper and deeper like a dream within a dream within another dream. (seen Inception?) Effectively, this means, layers of minds, within minds, within minds, perhaps 12 deep? Once within these layers, we could easily get lost within our own perception of what is reality, but we would have this sense of something greater...pulling us back through the layers.
But where will be end up? The more layers we have gone down, the more unique the experiences become. What is there for us at the end of the journey of climbing back up the layers? Well my guess is Self awareness as God. What would we do...once we awaken that final layer to reach that realisation....hmmm, bury myself in my layers again, because self awareness of being only, is not that stimulation. And I can't express myself, nor do anything as God, because that would be to say there is someone else to express to, or something outside of myself that can be done.
This throws a new twist on the objective of evolvement and the thirst to evolve faster. What is the point if once I arrive I am going to realise that I had done it all on purpose, and then simply set off to do it, all over again.
This certainly could give new meaning to the idea that the true value is found not in the arriving, but in the process and journey itself.
