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

As for you being the center of your own universe.....


Scientist say in the center of each galaxy is a black hole.

Does that mean the center of the Universe might have a black hole?

If you meant what I thought of, that was funny: even if you think you're the center of the Universe, you don't have to be an ...hole

I believe everyone is the center of there own universe. If you had different experiences and had to live in a different environment. You would have different life skills. I often compare myself with my dna family. I also believe your DNA plays a large part of who you are. But I have had different experiences and lived in different then most of my dna family. That made me different in many ways. On being the center of your own world. Of course you are. This world is large. There are people,things, and beliefs dear to only you. You make your world the way you want it. Here's a quote I been repeating a lot lately. I am not sure who said it. "Be the change you want to see in the world"....... Your world.

how would you feel if I said you are me?
In its essence that is a fundamental truth.

That it is less obvious in its universal manifestation of apparent separate being is a perennial conundrum.

No one home

What you are calling "me" is only an illusion. It literally doesn't exist except as an idea or thought. All the people are not even really here just appear in a dream, all dreams are different, but the creation of them is the same, they spring up and out of the conditioning, that's how you can't blame anyone for anything, no one is in control of what they dream at all, when you look across the room and see that the physical being appears to be there but the mind of that being is unreal, you cease to see this world as real, you're own mind becomes unreal to itself. Awareness is real, what it is aware of, even the construction of this so called person is not. Now you are walking around in a dream where all the other beings seem to think they are real and that's how they are always freaking out over something. Well, they think it is real. When you know it's not, what will bother you, you are not even moving your own body. There isn't even something there to do that, only the conditioning determines the movement of thoughts and it's subsequent movements based on what those are.

Interesting. So what do you suggest that I do now?

What is the name of the book?

One time, I made a lot of laminated charts in which the front depicted a Hindu story and the back was the story.

I can't remember how many I made. I once thought about putting them in book form. Being the pictures were in color, the cost of producing the book probably would be prohibitive.
