Life Exists in Every Dimension Simultaneously
I am a person. But I also live as a memory in someone else's heart. So, I am both a big person as myself, and a small little ball in another person.
Religion is a good example of this. Religion lives in billions of people now, simultaneously. Together, those little balls form a big wave—a living field.
The confusion often lies in the fact that, in Western society (where I am from), things we can’t see are often considered untrue. As if the definition of truth depends on visibility. But if I am in a room with you, we both have thoughts. Those are living things that exist in the room at that moment. Just because we can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It’s better to see thoughts as part of the room—just like a chair.
Religion, therefore, is real. Because people hold it alive in their hearts, you also see it reflected in the choices they make and have made. So, you will always see reflections of a higher power. People who are observant always recognize these choices made by others. I literally see those reflections in my daily life—someone doing something for someone else, and you only notice the beauty of it afterwards.
Think of how beautiful that circle is:
People holding it in their hearts → people making choices → others seeing those choices along the journey.
The Bible is a beautiful example of this too. From a scientific perspective, the focus is always on whether something is factually true. But if I can experience this world as if I can walk on water—what’s the problem with that? If we all believe that we can walk on water, then it becomes just as physical as a chair.
One very important thing:
Thoughts and memories are just as alive as a chair. But that doesn’t mean you can manipulate them without consequences. Just like you can chop a chair and turn it into something else, you can reshape thoughts. Even the greatest religious figures didn’t want to be remembered forever. They were afraid of staying here eternally. Sometimes it’s time to say, “We took your lessons,” and then move on.
This is not a criticism of religious people (I love religion, and it carries some of the deepest lessons), but if you’re in tune with consciousness and religion, your only fear should be immortality. You’ll have to believe me on that.
Things aren’t meant to be forever—just like a person or a plant shouldn’t live forever. When time is up, it’s up. The tree becomes a chair, and then vanishes.
About the Multiverse
Some scientists believe we live in multiple realities at the same time. I agree. But they differ from each other—like in color or size, for example. We don’t live as one person in multiple universes. They co-exist next to each other.
Right now, I think of you—so you exist in me, and you are also a real person.
About the Simulation Theory
I saw my colleague the other day, and she dressed in the colors of the season. I almost fainted. We don’t live in a simulation—she was too beautiful.
I’ve had dinners, seen people, landscapes, all of them simply too beautiful. It’s like listening to a symphony. I’ve never seen that kind of beauty on a bunch of electronic plates soldered together.
About Buddhism
There are two ways to look at Buddhism:
Either it was someone who really got it—or someone who really didn’t. I suspect it’s the latter. But who knows? Just be careful not to get stuck in a loop where you believe the ego exists. Ego is a poor way of explaining something (see below).
What Buddhism Constantly Gets Confused About
Let’s describe you together.
We’d probably come up with a lot of different things: maybe you like ice cream, you have a funny side, an angry side, a sad side, confusing thoughts, nice feelings, bad feelings, deep thoughts, a weird small toe or a big nose.
Try to compress all of that into one thing: an ego.
The self is not an illusion. You just consist of multiple sides at the same time (and I haven’t even started on your organs yet). There are also things you’re going to learn, that you don’t even know you’re going to learn—or become.
So, compressing all of that into an ego is ridiculous. The self is a construct made up of many things, but calling it an illusion is a strange way of describing it.
Do We Exist?
Yes.
We exist both as a circle (one entity) and as something made of many parts—everything you eat, do, the mistakes you make, your funny side, and your terrible side.
We also exist in the memories of others, or in the eyes of your pet who sees you.
So don’t worry—there is still a you.
In fact, there are more of you than you think.
