I would consider that a low blow. And would feel deeply insulted.

I'm only kidding.

Hinduism alludes to such truths. What if it was right?

If you are me,
then if you give me $50,000.00:
all you have done is transferred
$50,000.00 back into your pocket.

If we go to a restaurant,
you can order the food
and I can eat the food
and when the bill arrives
you can pay it because
it really was you that went to the restaurant
and I did not really eat the food
because you did.

We can expand on this
to include the waiter.......

John does make a good point. If you were all me it should not matter who gets all the money. I have known the great divide between one self and another stretch into the spiritual. My ex girlfriend encroached upon my personal self (soul) and caused me great harm.

Well if you believe we are all one as your Thread indicated and now your referring to the Physical/Wordly then no we are not all one. You have to remove ' The Self ' as this idea is what separates....

Jesus said, ' My Father and I are One ' .... He removed the idea of a ' Self '.

Aah. It is the identity of the own self which is the resistance to wholeness. Once the bubble of the own self bursts it is not long before one merges with the whole.

I often wonder these questions. Here at this forum I meet many different people.
Are you all me? Am I you?

It's better if you exp this for yourself.
How? I dunno, cuz each person is diff - fast for many many days with the intention
of having this shown to you.
Praying or talking to God or your own self - until it is shown to you...I mean,
The Oneness...the vibrations...the waves of energy ... the inseparable -ness...
Hahahaha - it's like we are in a vat of jello - you can't move an arm without waves/ripples that effects someone else ---
that's why it's said a butterfly flutters it's wings in China and it's felt around the world.


We are connected - which is really the same as saying part of the Whole, The One.

But me saying this means near nothing --- better to buckle down and do what is needed to experience this amazing thing personally.
My take.


And, oh, what a life changing, enlightening exp it is ...the essence of you is the essence of me.
Ha, Neil Armstrong spoke about it coming back from the Moon ...can be googled.
He wasn't Hindu, lol.

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

Sounds like she believed what is yours is hers
and what is hers is also hers.


Sorry you had to experience that.
