Sending this message is just so ironic in the sense that i'm trying to make part of my conciousness (you, me and everyone) see some truth, but the infinite conciousness didn't create us to know, it created us to play this game of life. experience... experience feeling limited instead of limitless, able to feel pain and suffering, emotion, thirst, hunger, love ... all those things were created by our conciousness because thats it... such is life. theres no reason it created it. there was no time it decided or purpose it decided it for, IT HAS ALWAYS EXISTED. So the word created can't even make sense of it because it is only the present that matters. the past (in a sense) never happened, that is to say it is only a memory of an experience we decided to create at that time, remembering time is also a material we created so ... Oh my god. you could go on about it forever because the definition of infinite cannot be explained, it goes on forever and is limitless. do not try and get your head around it, instead just try and accept that life is such, and is what you make of it. there is no answer, there is just truth. you create the truth so really you should already know it. Literally speaking i just wrote this to myself.

Our "True Self" that we experience in Samadhi is a "being". A person, if you will. We are "one" with the Consciousness that is the Supreme Consciousness. If the Supreme Consciousness were not a being, then we would not be a "being other". I do not speak from "ideas" that I have thought up but from my personal experience. In Samadhi, there is the experience of Sat Chit Ananda (truth, conciousness and bliss or peace. When we experience union with "The One without a Second", we experience desirelessness. That does not mean that The Supreme Ultimate has no desires. If the Supreme Ultimate had no desires He would never have created the manifest universe nor us. It takes desire to want to create something. I know among some groups of people using the word "God" is passe. However the word God is as good as any and better than most. I think that some people who are trully knowledgeable don't like to use the word, "God", because it implies that the Supreme Ultimate Being is a "thing", and especially a thing that is separate from us. Even so, The word God, describes a conscious, supernatural being, that not only can be experienced in Samadhi (or devine Union), but desires us to work toward that union.
