[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 214269, member: 18224"] It’s better understood when you think of reality in a different way. I just saw on BBC Earh on a program that paradox how can the Universe be both expanding and infinite at the same time? Think of pure thought... a dream. Imagine you dream tonight that you are a pilot, flying a plane. Your copilot is beside you, and the plane is full of passengers. You hear a loud bang on the flight deck door and bam opens the door and a hijacker enters wielding some sort of weapon. Now ask yourself these questions: 1. Who was the pilot really? You? 2. Who was the copilot? 3. Who were the passengers? 4. Who was the hijacker??? 5. Was your true identity / your substance ever in danger? The answers are of course that the pilot was not real. It was you playing the character of the pilot. The copilot was also you because it was your dream within your mind and your mind controlled everything. You were also the passengers and the hijacker. And the plane.... and the entire world. Since it all took place in your mind. Now if you slept indefinitely, the dream would be infinite even though you have not yet dreamt all there is to dream in that world because AS you dream it you create more dream world! Therefore both infinite and expanding. But let’s get back to you... were you the pilot??? If the plane crashed do YOU die??? Or do you just wake up??? You’d likely at this point say that yes but this world is the waking world and therefore we know that everything is real..... If you never did wake up how real do you think your dreamworld is??? Its all you know and for all you know that is everything and if the hijacker stabs or shoots you you die. Only you don’t... you wake up. The pilot was never real. Now this world is very much an illusion like the dream. It’s not our dream. We are the characters. Maybe I’m the copilot and you the hijacker. But there is only ONE dreamer. That is Waheguru. And that’s why Waheguru can NEVER take form as an avatar etc. Sometimes a character can conquer death while alive and realize they are in the dream. But then, they know he secret. They really aren’t that separate person. Along with that they also realize every other character is also them. It’s hard to wrap your head around. Science already knows this world is an illusion with one base energy which is conscious or aware. The double slit experiment shows that subatomic particles can act as both a wave (formless) or a particle (having form) and the ONLY thing which determines it is a conscious observer. That means our awareness the part of us that makes us a sentient being, can not be a product of matter but something outside it. Einstein said that reality is a persistent illusion. In fact most of everything we think is solid is 99.9999% empty space and what’s left are those subatomic particles that can pop into and out of physical existence based on a conscious observer. So what are we (physically) anyway???? Is that physical body really us?? Anyway point is that although we fight to stay alive this life, which is good and necessary to expand our consciousness as a collective and survive as a species, and the goal is gradual unfolding of spiritual consciousness, or super consciousness... but the drawback is we are so immersed in this dream that we can’t ever fathom that it is in fact a dream.
