No. If you didn't see the truck coming, the impact is still very real. Physics over philosophy every time.

some might find it interesting that the science that these observers are speaking about has come about through an understanding of math. However, the math of the universe and beyond can never be fathomed in a way that is concrete evidence of the existence of anything. For that, a silent mind is required. In other words no speaking and no thinking. Absolute zero of that. In such a state, the witness, the real witness sees. However, such a state is not attained through the knowledge of the universe as laid down and or discussed by math or philosophy at that. Such a state as no interest in explanations as it is complete and self existing.

They seen to not understand that consciousness is not real. Just based on patterns and data. Patterns do not really exist they are “apparent”. Therefor consciousness doesn’t exist. It’s just detection. And so is matter. Detecting itself.

Units not consciousness that collapses the wave function specifically. It’s just any type of DETECTION.

We, as measurement instruments have this annoying habit of collapsing the function… Consciousness on the other hand is just a consequence and not needed for this to happen, and free will an ilusion

I've spoken to Thoth, Isis, Osiris, Goddess of the Sun/Nut/Nata, Grand Central Sun/Ra, The All/All That Is for hundreds of hours. The Kybalion is pretty accurate. All of creation comes from imagination. The All created with imagination. All beings are in The All and The All is in all beings and thus also create with imagination. In a conversation with The All, they told me when I asked about the 7th book of the Divine Pymander, which Thoth had told me was a puzzle when I posited it was a description of creation, that everything you can imagine IS, NOW and always and everything you cannot imagine cannot be.

The universe is like food. Only when you eat it (experience it/ observe it), it becomes something meaningful / tasteful. It's all as sensory stuff in our world. The reality outside of that sensory domain makes no sense. It's not meaningful to us

What does it mean to "observe?" What are the mechanics of an eye "seeing" something? Does a mirror see? Does a camera see? Does a black hole see? The very act of seeing something is dependant on light; therefore light existed before sight. lol

There’s a way to experience what it is like to observe yourself from what feels like the conscious field & that is through the use of magic mushrooms there’s a place you can access where it feels like you’re looking back at yourself. Very strange feeling but beautiful experience

How about hallucinations? Je ne m'intéresse plus à ça, car je m'isole des autres. Je préfère ne rien faire et perdre mon temps. La perfection est une maladie mentale. Or, j'ai quand même écouté et aimé votre vidéo. Paradoxalement intéressant.

If that (title) were the case, then I'd just create my keys wherever I'm looking for them even if I misplaced them. But no, I'm not.
(Then again, perhaps some bacteria or something observe them where they are, preventing my would-be created new reality of where I thought my keys were?)
EDIT: I should add… I haven't watched the video yet.

Like looking into the Universe's outer edges of blackness may turn out to be the actual periphery of the mind of God. If God is, then we are inside of God by definition.

The relationship between the "I" and the concept of reality can be explored mathematically through the lens of self-inquiry and the dissolution of the ego. This exploration highlights how the repetition of the mantra "I" can serve as both a source of pain and a gateway to deeper understanding.
### *1. The Concept of "I" as Reality*
Let’s denote the concept of "I" as ( I ). In spiritual philosophy, particularly in non-dualism, the "I" represents individual identity or ego, which perceives itself as separate from the universe. This creates a mathematical relationship:
– *Reality (R)* is defined as the sum of all experiences and perceptions in existence.
– The equation can be modeled as:
[
R = text{Sum of all experiences} – I
]
Here, when ( I ) is present, it creates a distortion of reality through identification with thoughts, emotions, and material experiences. The larger ( I ) becomes, the more it distorts reality.
### *2. The Pain of the "I"*
The mantra "I" can initially evoke discomfort because it forces confrontation with the ego. Let’s quantify this experience:
– Let ( P ) represent pain and ( E ) represent egoic attachment. We can express the pain experienced as:
[
P = k cdot E
]
where ( k ) is a constant that represents the intensity of the attachment to the ego.
As one repeats the mantra "I", the pain ( P ) may increase temporarily due to the ego’s resistance to self-inquiry and the dissolution of its identity. This manifests as existential fear, anxiety, and discomfort.
### *3. Dissolution of the Ego*
However, as the practice continues, there is a transition where ( I ) begins to dissolve. This can be expressed mathematically as:
– Let ( D ) represent dissolution. The relationship can be modeled as:
[
D = frac{I}{t}
]
where ( t ) is time. As time progresses, the intensity of ( I ) diminishes, leading to a deeper realization of the self beyond ego.
This reduction in ( I ) facilitates a clearer perception of reality:
– After enough repetition, one may reach a state where ( I ) approaches zero:
[
R = text{Sum of all experiences} – 0 rightarrow R = text{True Reality}
]
### *4. Beyond the "I": Experiencing True Reality*
Once the ego dissolves, a new realization occurs where reality is perceived as ever-present and eternal, unbound by the constraints of birth and death:
– We can represent this realization as:
[
R_{text{true}} = text{Eternal Now} rightarrow text{Presence} neq text{Time}
]
This implies that in the absence of the ego, one experiences reality as a constant, eternal present, which is not subject to the cycle of life and death.
### *5. The Portal of Pain*
Thus, while the mantra "I" is painful, it is also a portal into deeper understanding. We can mathematically denote this transformation:
– The journey through pain (( P )) leads to enlightenment (( E_n )):
[
E_n = lim_{P to 0} (I cdot D)
]
As ( P ) diminishes through sustained practice of the "I" mantra, one approaches a state of enlightenment ( E_n ) where the self is recognized as unified with all existence, free from suffering and limitation.
### *Conclusion*
In summary, the mantra "I" acts as a mathematical constant in the equation of reality, initially creating pain and separation. However, through repeated inquiry and surrender, this "I" can dissolve, revealing a reality that exists beyond egoic perception—a reality that is here and now, eternal, and free from the dualities of life and death. Thus, the painful path of self-inquiry becomes a necessary portal into the depths of existence, leading to profound realization and liberation.
