So...If I were to jump off a cliff with “you” there watching me as an observer, Standing on the cliff as I jump. I would go through the experience of plummeting to my death or whatever would happen if I were to jump in faith. “You”, the observer, would just see me step back from the edge and telling “you” what I experienced.
A part of “you”, in a different parallel reality, would watch me die and carry on with their life and that experience, wondering about my sanity. But the “you” that I interact with, in my experienced reality, would just see me backing away from the cliff, talking about an “oh shit! I almost died!” moment I just had...
Reality is a construct of experienced events for the growth of the observer. The observer as Universe, Intelligent Creative Energy, experiencing itself through the unique vessel of you.
There is no continuum of “Time.” Time is a mental construct, a tool, a unit of measurement to better organize the experience and growth of the Individualized Omnipresent Self. Without Time, experience is incomprehensible.
There is no death as we know it (Who lives to truly “know” of death?), the experiential story of “you”, this “you” inhabiting a specific vehicle of experience that causes or creates certain events to unfold will end when it ends.
Between “then” and “now” you can experience many situations of “death”, but the experience of “you”, this particular arrangement of photons creating this particular universe for the body of “you” you inhabit, you, goes on. You die in one reality and transition into a parallel one in which you didn’t die and go on experiencing that one, carrying with you that “Oh shit! I “almost” died!” experience.
You experience all at once, your focal point is what changes. Like a spider web which branches off into infinity and, wherever the spider (you) resides is your focal point of experience.
We continually shift realities. To the point that death itself is a shift of realities. These feelings you have in near-death experiences or “close calls”, That feeling of “Oh, Shit! I could have (or almost) died!” Oh, but you did die! But the shift of points-of-view, of the reality you currently inhabit to the next was so quick that you didn't even notice you had died. (Ghosts that don’t know they are already dead?) You are just left with that “”oh shit!” feeling. You were not done with this currant story yet. Your role is not yet finished in this lifeline experience. Is this where the idea of Faith comes in? The idea that the script of your life is already written, no matter what you do or the choices you make, you will still experience and end up what and where you are meant to. The only real choice is how you choose to feel about what you experience.
Accidentally fall of a cliff you were climbing and plummet to your death? Kinda. You recall a close call and an imagining of falling, which was a sharp lesson in paying attention but continue on the climb. Your story is not done yet. Though, in the reality in which you did die, those that you were close to were meant to experience the lose of you for their own growth and contemplation. Faith is to know you cannot die. The experiencer cannot die, it just changes forms, changes points of view of an infinite amount of possibilities.
This is why they say that suicide is not the way out...you still end up in the same situation you tried to escape from. The “suicide” turns into the experience of an “attempted suicide”...You had the experience of killing yourself, but you didn't die. You, the real you, can never die.
Taking the infinite possible outcomes of reality, the only real thing to accomplish... Is control over ones mind, one's thoughts and how you choose to perceive whatever is upon the screen of consciousness. The ego is temporary and only assigned to this vessel of experience and has no real clue as to what is really going on. It only knows survival and does things to this end only. Any suicidal or self-defeating thoughts are this limited aspect of self, ego, wishing to escape. But there is no escape from self. You are the one God self experiencing multiplicity. Wherever you go, there you are. In this life or the next.
Change your mind, change your life.
