May be true!
Yet we all have to go through this life.
Explanations do provide peace of mind.
Sometimes the converse is true.

It is difficult for me to believe in any "belief"
There are many thing that happen without any apparent cause.
Science does provide some answers but not all.

Then is that full view. I m not sure.
However i agree answers can lead to more questions and can eventually be disturbing or confusing.

Btw...:)
What is the spiritual meaning of Namaskar?
to bow to
With namaskar, the object of the greeting is the supreme consciousness within the other person.
Namaste, however, is typically used to bow to a divine entity, so on a spiritual level, the “you” to whom
the salutation is directed is the divine. ...
Namaskar is composed of three Sanskrit words: Nam, which means “to bow to”

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.

As of my understanding:
God alone is, as The One, in-dwelling all forms
As such there is no separate ego (us)
Liken life to a lucid dream
Each separate entity (us) is an object, the dreamed
Each separate entity (us) is one with the subject (dreamer, God)
Love is the only true God (subject’s) energy, all else thought construct
The thoughts are borne of desires of the separate self (ego/us)
There is no good or bad, merely misalignment (from love)
Karma (suffering) ends when we align with love
Subject and object then merge.
The ego disappears (it never was)
There is no annihilation. All that happens is that we wake up from the dream.
Apart from love alignment, we need to shake off stupor
Once awareness is held in waking, dreaming, deep sleep, we become self-aware
Exiting stagnation (free from attachment, fear, desire), we vaporise
Then karma ends, the purpose of dreaming ends
We witness life in vibrancy till body shell falls
Deeds are done but we do not do them
We resonate God consciousness

I've had the lucid experience a few times in my life. I became the Dreamer. If that dreamer is my soul, what about every other character? Do we each have a soul, or is there only...the One? I figure the Soul is just another ego that dissolves into the Infinite when one's finished with the wheel of karma. Is The Dream of consciousness a collective experience? There's a cast of thousands in the Dream. Do they all have the same dreamer? What part of us evolves through incarnations?
So, just a few simple questions... :-P

My understanding about the spiritual meaning of Namaskar is:
The divine in this me bows to the divine in this you.
Namaskar

@ alanantic … Sri Yukteswar Giri is quoted in ‘An Autobiography of a Yogi’ to have said that the presence of form, in any realm signals unfulfilled desire.
We may take this to mean that even though the veil thins, it does not disappear, as long as even the slightest trace of ego (identity) remains. Identity means separation from source or God.
Quite often, we confuse interconnectedness with oneness. Consciousness expansion … great but not oneness. Kundalini energy entwining polarities resulting in bliss … great but not oneness, Samadhi as one without a second … yes, that’s oneness but without awareness; we become bliss and space-time dissolves but then how do we ‘return’ if no one is there? It’s better than deep sleep because here we experience in fullness, whereas deep sleep is just blank but yet … unanswered questions remain.
Where were we? God consciousness. Well, once I experienced the one in-dwelling in all and after I was ‘shown’ this, I got back to mind-body. So, we can say, the one is in multitude forms to experience itself across all vibrations. However, at our present level of understanding, the offered glimpses by grace are experienced but not assimilated. As such, for the moment, we can celebrate our ignorance as the will of God to feel this too!
The progression from third density where we are now is about love enablement, fourth density about unity consciousness, fifth about application of wisdom ingrained (co-creation) … such is the roadmap affirmed in theosophy. As a collective, look around and within, where is love? So the journey seems to be quite long in linear time. So be it. Enjoy!

[quote=Unseeking Seeker]@ alanantic …
Wow...that's kinda at another level for me. Spiritually, I figure I'm still an obnoxious adolescent in high school. Having the experience of being the Dreamer doesn't mean you wake up to Everything, but I awoke to Something (Soul?).
