and when inquired about the evident existence of other-selves than themselves, they argue that what is out there is not 'real', its an illusion.
the catch is, if the multiple existences are an illusion, then their self, that they transplant into the place of infinity, is also an illusion, unreal. because, the very existence of their own selves that is manifesting as they are in this space/time continuum (or any point in continuum except the point of infinity), is existing because it is a differentiation of infinite intelligence from its self, existing as that differentiation they are.
they are saying that these differentiations are not real, but, instead of saying that they are themselves also an illusion, they directly proceed to placing their own differentiated existence, into the place of infinite intelligence as a whole.
the very concepts of 'existing', or, 'i exist', or 'i', or 'me', are things that that are only possible with the discovery and existence of the concept of finity - ie infinite intelligence differentiating and individualizing from its self.
thus, there ends up a situation in which the individualized, differentiated entity is trying to transplant and claim its self in place of, and as the entire infinite intelligence, and at times, even infinity.
i think this is a situation which can easily be exploited to exaggerate misperceptions of other-selves, skew the understanding of the entity on the basis of me-others, and give more value and emphasis to its own existence than others, leading to imbalance in the long run.
the finite, cannot encompass and express infinite. i think that is another reason why the negative path, attempting to put the finite self over everything else, has to return to the positive path in early 6th d.
because the entity that misperceives the oneness, unity like the above basically says 'i, myself, am everything, rest is an illusion', instead of 'i, myself am also an illusion like everything else, and we are all actually one'.
Oh wow.
WOW.
Profound! :idea:
