Everyone is in his own world bubble

Post by unwise »

I don't know if you have ever deeply considered the fact that no one else is in the same universe as you. Each person is in a 'world bubble' that only connects with you in a mere tangential way - just brushing up against your bubble. These are not just words I am saying.

Think deeply about your own emotional/intellectual/chemical/hormonal view point.....you see the world based on your age, sex and experience - but this is not how others feel. In fact, no one feels the same exact way you do about your environment - about what is out there. It is an awesome realization to see this. You are truly the keeper of your own universe. And yet, you have nothing to do with it.

Just consider how differently you view the world now compared to when you were 10.


These are all unique ways 'god' is experiencing. How strange to aspire to be the Buddha! You will be the Buddha when that is what you have become!

By 'thinking deeply' you mend thinking in 'explicit ways'. That is not what I do. I percept only new input, and because of my consistent conclusions I convert that directly with associated experiences out of subconscious mind. This way I understand experiences and I do not have questions anymore in conscious mind.

All suggestions which are suggested to experience are explicit ways. ‘Explicit ways’ first most become subconscious. That is only possible if that is your way of perception.

Therefore, if you imagine ‘God’, you must let it penetrate to the subconscious by giving it a place. Let it be drenched to understandings.

David Quinn used this description in his book "Wisdom of the Infinite". If this is where you got the idea to describe each individual's unique consciousness as a "world bubble" you should acredit him.

I've never heard the expression 'world bubble' before. I never read David Quinn's book, and all I've read from him is his occasional comments here.

Anything anybody ever thought or said is floating around 'out there.'

To my mind I agree that each person is living in a different bubble or worldview as you call it, however there are intelligent worldviews/bubbles and stupid ones.

Humans that cooperate with stupid bubble/worldviews tend to cause alot of damage in the world.

Whereas humans that share a common worldview/bubble that is intelligent can cooperate in a way that heals the earth and the consciousness of humanity.

When two truly wise individuals come together, paradoxically there is only one bubble there with a certain uniqueness between them.

The most interesting people seems to have the strangest worldview/bubble...

Friedrich Nietzsche once said "In heaven all the interesting people are missing."

No. Like any old typical enlightened man will tell you -

There is a Heaven and there is not a Heaven.

Tharan, you are absolutely right in answering that sarcastically.

Unwise is applying the understanding that ‘things exist and not at the same time’, which is also true in a different context and applies only to the most fundamental nature of existence, not to that which we can talk about.

But yes, “heaven” exists, and it is right here, only that one has to have an eye to see it.
