You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.

Is this some sort of bean/stroganoff meta that is too deep for me?

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bean stroganoff? The forbidden recipe!

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds delicious.

The universe decided it wanted to consider itself.

Maybe get Krishna to be your wingman? He knew how to party.

Just gotta make sure it's the younger Krishna and not the older one who will slap you a few times and lecture you about doing your duty when you get shy

Kinda depends on whether you see gods as human or not... I don't believe in god's that aren't flawed beings just like us.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you can see a crooked tree as growing straight, then you will see nothing is flawed, not even humans.

I'm not saying we're not beautiful, I believe we are both beautiful and flawed. Imperfections are what create new quirks and differences that we can learn to appreciate and grow with, not against.

Kashmir Shaivite: I know I am God manifested as a human. Therefore let's party!

Kurzgesagt released video (this one) which is kinda similar to this idea of yours. Not perfectly tho. It claims that you are everyone, and you are essentially a growing god.

Edit: explanation to the link, removal of the first one due to misinterpreted meme

The Egg is a nice story. Although tbh it's nothing new in the history of philosophy. I'm guessing from OP's username they are referencing Indian non-dualism (Hindu variants like Vedanta or Kashmir Shaivism to explain my comment below 😅, sometimes Buddhism). The core idea being that reality is simply the godhead/universe deluded by its material form.

"It is possible to realize our true nature - that we were not born to suffer"

Those ladies are ignoring the alphasigma Tate-bro at their peril.

Seriously. Watch your drinks.
