What's real? Experiencing is real.
This experience that you are having right now is a real experience. This is much clearer to me now than just a few months ago. Again, the understanding takes time.
Yes, it could be a dream, or an illusion, but the experience is undeniably real.
So is it a dream? Is it an illusion? Answering these questions is not as important to me as they once were. (The answer is yes) but I'm not sure that it matters. That said, I may continue writing about the illusory nature of perception because it is otherwise too easy to slip back into ignorance.
Dream. Matrix. Quantum Field. Idealism. Materialism. Realism. These are just models. They are just ways to describe or understand this experience with words and concepts. The fact is physicists do not know what matter is. Matter is just as much a mystery to them as Consciousness. It doesn't matter. We don't need to know. Not knowing is good. The human body mind can't access Consciousness. It only knows thoughts. The mind is known through the perception of thinking.
What is important is the understanding that this experience is undeniably real and that the experiencer is Reality or God. It has to be. Whatever model is your preference, you must arrive at the same conclusion....assuming you agree that there is one reality. Eventually, you must arrive at this understanding....assuming you are interested in finding the truth.
The mistake is believing to be a separate experiencer. There is no individual anything.
We always know when the individual experiencer has appeared because there is some kind of suffering. Even the slightest sense of lack or boredom can only arise when we are in ignorance.
When the mood arises, just sink deeply into the realness of this current experience with the knowing understanding that there is no personal experiencer. This understanding has the ability to turn the most mundane task (like washing the dishes) into...Wow.
From God's perspective, there is no such thing as a bad experience...even unwanted feelings such as anger or shame. The fact that the absolute gets to experience such matters is perhaps why she chooses to willingly forget. The different spices of being a person is dramatic and tense. Reality itself gets to experience that too!!
Who doesn't like to watch a good action thriller? Especially when I remind myself that its not real :)
