The Space Between

There are no things in and of themselves; only the distinction between them.

Our senses inform us of the external world; a world that is cognised by the mind which leaves us with no actual evidence of any external objects. Everything occurs as a thought, and the universe is but a dream that occurs within us.

I'm your dream and you are mine. We are so close that we exist only within each others minds, and it goes to follow that I am but a thought, even unto myself.

I agree. Quite fascinating and scary, but even that is not reality. Nothing but a mere thought :)

Life's experiences are a repeat of something that's been going on over and over throughout time. We're not just experiencing our own lives but those before us, doing it again and again. Dream replication. Over and over.

we are not even here!
we are not human.
our temporary flesh suit isn' ours!
and
we are not the body-mind mechanism - we have simply rented it!

We are awareness.

Everything else is a dream!!!

I Am Eternal and never in a rush!
I Am nobody and no-thing!

SMILE!
DROP all beLIEfs
or stay with them and be
mind controled!!!

What is real - this physical world of the waking state
or the dream world of the sleep state
are both dream worlds?

Uhh.. capitalizing beliefs in sentences and then denying having beliefs is a good indication of some pretty strong religious belief. 'I Am' in caps being a popular New Age doctrine stemming from Eastern religion. This should at least be somewhat apparent if we're actually flexible with our beliefs and not overly attached to them.

Dreams being dreams make them no less real to the dreamer. We see ourselves as separate from other minds, and yet we share so much that is similar. We see ourselves as separate from the past, from those around us, yet we are them.

We see ourselves as having a new reality, different than the old, but "the more that things change, the more they stay the same."

This is beyond beliefs my fellow companion! This is my Direct Experience!

I Am nobody = I am not the body. Fact!
I Am no-thing = I am no-thing. Fact.
All based on my Direct Experience.

I Am Eternal. Fact. Based on my Direct Experience.

Not a belief in sight Sea Wolf!

Do pay attention!!!

PS. I follow no new age beLIEfs. Never have and never will. I Am is a simple statement which is based on truth.

I Am here. Fact.
I Am writing these words through a temporary physical medium which is not who I Am.

My word - using capital letters and you attach me to what people refer to as new age and eastern religion! See how you fail when you beLIEve in what your mind dictates!

DROP all beLIEfs.

Dreams, here we are in the Mortal Dream World. Appears to be real. But isn't. It'll soon be over...........................
All interwoven stories and plenty of willing characters who beLIEve This to be true!

PPS. Not to I Am - using CAPS can cause people to assume!

It's impossible to reason with a fundamentalist lol. Kind of like trying to reason with an addict.

Yes all fundamentalists think their beliefs are the truth and are not just 'beliefs' like everyone else has. People feel the exact same way all over the world. They also tend to be extremely prejudiced against anyone who believes differently, hence the 'religion is evil' mantra which is a popular saying among religious fundamentalists. It actually just means, any religion except mine is evil. But of course the fundamentalist never has a 'religion' like all those other poor suckers do, he/she always has 'the truth'.
