if all of us come to an end God's dream doesn't come to an end
but there's no longer anybody there to perceive it therefore it no longer appears as the world
but isn't your definition of God's dream the modulation of Consciousness and if
there are no senses God's dream is the activity of Consciousness which appears
as the universe from our localized and limited points of view
but the activity could still continue without being perceived
what that would and tell we cannot possibly say
I see we even because because all we can
because we because we look at that activity through the filter of our senses
so we can only see the way our senses present that activity to us you can't see white snow through
orange tinted glasses you can only see the way the snow presents itself when it is observed through
the orange tinted glasses I see so what we observe is the the activity of Consciousness God's dream
as it is filtered through the glasses of seeing hearing touching tasting and smelling
so the finite mind is like a virtual reality headset that Consciousness puts on
looking out through the senses it perceives its own activity as as the
world as we know it when it is no longer perceived its reality doesn't disappear
because it's reality precedes its being perceived but its appearance disappears
remember we half create have perceived the world we create its appearance we perceive
the way its reality appears to us so we perceive what is there we create its appearance
I see
if if the word no Minds with their limitations
I'm just trying to understand what you're saying if there's no Minds with no limitations there's
nothing to suggest that the activity of Consciousness doesn't continue exactly
why would he not continue yes because our minds are just a little localization of that activity
there is infinite Consciousness it's vibrating within itself it looks like a Jackson
Pollock painting and then a little little part of the Jackson Pollock painting dissociates and
becomes our finite mind still made of the same stuff of the same activity of Consciousness but
now it's a little localization of that activity of Consciousness within the broader field of
consciousness so when the and when the little dissociated finite mind looks that looks out
at the Jackson Pollock painting it appears as the universe when the finite mind disappears
the Jackson Pollock painting Remains the activity of Consciousness remains but it no longer appears
as the universe because there's nothing for it to appear too just the the we could say it was just
the the vibration of Consciousness the activity of Consciousness God's dream in in the in the I
see and what what that would what that would be we we cannot know because our mind superimposes
its own limitations on everything that it knows so we can't know what form it would have but we can
know it's reality we can know what it is why yeah because we are a part of that reality if you know
the reality of the way if you know the reality of the ocean if you know that the wave is water you
know that the ocean is water so we don't have to investigate the entire universe in order to know
its reality we only have to investigate this corner of the universe as long as we know this
little corner of the universe this little wave on the ocean we discover the the the reality
of this little wave on the ocean is water then by definition we know the nature of the house
would it be fair to say that perhaps
um the activity of Consciousness May cease and this is where I think I'm getting you know I'm
trying to see the infinite with the fight through the finite mind but because it's I know that
it's all it simultaneously seized and moving exactly but it's always it's always [Music] um
yes it's always ceasing and moving it's not that it's ceased billions of years ago and it's been
now been moving for billions of years and one day in the future it'll cease it's it's always
we we can't really go we can't really go yeah it's always um every time you fall deeply asleep it
we could say a part of it ceases they're very imperfect analogies yeah
I think it's I think those you know you know when you're having a zoom
conversation Francis and you've got your your um what does it says seven by seven
you've got your 49 49 images 49 faces and each Fame phase represents an activity of the screen
and then someone turns their camera off and there's just a it's just a blank screen
so in that little in that rectangle where someone's turned their camera off that the
activity of the screen has ceased just the blank screen but all the other faces are still present
it's very imperfect analogy but the screen is both acting and
static at the same time yeah but even even when the faces even when the faces
are present if we consider the faces to be the activity of the screen the screen
itself is not moving let's forget that image you're watching a movie the the
the image is moving but the screen is static so it's not our categories of still Stillness and
movement are imperfect categories to describe the nature of Consciousness they're the best we can do
they're rather crude models but so these models are just an attempt to satisfy our curious minds
sure put on curious minds addressed and um yeah I was just going to say that I
think what what I'm realizing is that my question betrayed inside me a very subtle
um a very subtle residue of assumption that um
Consciousness is created throughout from our minds yes but but that's beautiful Frances that's the
that that's the importance of asking questions because we don't really
ask questions in order to have our questions answered we ask questions in order to expose
our assumptions and have our assumptions dissolved that's that's enough not to
answer the question but to expose and dissolve the Assumption in the question
