Episode notes
Reality's Interplay
- Reality is an interplay of sameness and difference, constantly subdividing.
- An infinite field of consciousness constructs these differences to appear as material reality.
Godhead's Fractionation
- The uniform field of love, or Godhead, fractionates itself to share love and explore finite aspects.
- This act of exploration is like the collapse of a quantum wave function, instantiating form.
Limits of Imagination
- Human imagination is limited by physical constraints and the need to maintain consensus reality.
- Psychotics and schizophrenics imagine freely, but struggle in the "normal" world.
