That's almost like how the fish doesn't know it's in water, since that is the only thing it knows, there's nothing else to compare it to.

Oh, what great being is this that tries to imagine what it is like to be me, by using the splendid tool of the imagination!
That was VERY cool to read!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Why is that, then, nothingness... and God doesn't see the trees in the cup?
Why is that the truth of the cup from God's view that there is nothing ...
why isn't He seeing the trees and cars? LOL! I missed that part.
Thanks

Must find it exceedingly odd,
To think that the tree,
Should continue to be,
When there's no one about in the quad".

"Dear Sir, your astonishment's odd,
I am always about in the quad,
And that's why the tree,
Will continue to be,
Since observed by, Yours Faithfully, God"
