Quote from I am...:
Yes, pretty much. A narcisstic ego-like mind makes the universe, and controls all thought within it, until its influence is deliberately "overcome", and cast off. It is very much about comparisons...so everything it makes is different from reality, and different from anything else. Thought, within its realm is 99.999% it's thought, as it thinks on multiple levels in multiple threads of thought.
The world is what it has thought about and recorded. It is playing out, nOt live, but "Memorex". It has a thousand ways that add up to total thought control, to hide the strings attached to every mechanical impulse that can be measured within its realm. A scientist is not able to prove a connection between what is seen, what can be measured, and the invisible thought behind it. This must be deduced with the aid of an inner wisdom, which "the universe" would obliterate from your mind [symbol: big bang].
This is the proverbial "belly of the whale", or, as some say, "the matrix". It's vital to one's escape to assess his situation, and step carefully out of a labyrinth of deciet. It is essential to "get" that it is ultimately self-deciet, by identifying with the mind that makes the mind that makes "the universe" as a place to hide from truth. It decieves as its effects continue to want what it wants, aligning with its purposes. It wants to deny reality, for reasons not aligned with the truth.
It is like an ego in the mind that makes it by inviting it into its mind. No sooner it is invited in, it seeks to possess its host. As it remains welcome, it holds you hostage, your every thought its own...until you come to your senses.
Christ!
