Well, hopefully, I'll return to "unborn consciousness" then.
You can return to it while you’re alive. What’s wrong with right now unless you think about it.

You can die before you die, and then do anything you like, but then no one is holding a gun to your head. Do or don’t do.

You do you boo. 👻

Take care Gary.
No one can "die before they die". There is life and there is lack of it (= death). It's either one or the other.
Okay, if that’s what you think. It’s not how I think about this.
I personally discovered, or should I say recognised, remembered, that no one has ever been born, so cannot die. That’s the peace that passes all understanding, for me anyway.

Take care.

Same.

It’s all the one love action dreaming difference where there is none.

A false identity will do anything to survive, trembling with fear in the presence of love.

Love is unconditional. You literally cannot fail at life. No matter how dark it gets you are loved unconditionally. No way whatsoever you can get it wrong.

Survival and fear are the only things that make you think otherwise.

I will pass this way only once.

I don't pray and I don't read the Bible. I don't have a religious bone in my body. Isn't that supposed to land me in Hell?

And worst of all, I support "socialism". God doesn't like "commies".

How do you think Hell differs from where you are now?

If God liked "socialists" then he would NOT have made social problems impossible to adequately resolve peacefully and decisively. Every peaceful solution to suffering that human beings have ever tried to administer to our societal problems has failed. God is a monster. It's survival of the fittest in his world. The weak perish. Peace always fails. We're still fighting WW2 and the Cold War even today. The world is a shit fest.

Let it be known to the world that I am not a pious person. Piety is a joke, just like the world that "God" created. To hell with God. This world is evil.

The reason you keep 'missing the mark', here, is because you keep having and using the Wrong interpretations of 'words', and 'their meanings'. For example, the words, 'survival of the fittest', has never ever had absolutely any thing at all to with power, strength, nor weakness.

Peace has never failed, ever, and never could nor will.

Just because you human beings, in the days when this is being written, had not yet learned how to live peacefully, with one another, as One, in peace, itself, does not mean that peace, itself, ever fails.

And, who is responsible for 'this', exactly?

If 'this' is what you believe, then 'this' is what you will 'see', and even get.

Does evil exist when you are sleeping at night?

Are you evil when you awaken from sleep?

If the answer is no, then why project evil as if it suddenly exists? Have you ever thought about where exactly evil exists? Does it exist because you think it exists, and if evil does exist , then you are the one creating it in your mind as a thought, right?
Or is that wrong?

If you’re not creating it, where is evil?

Where exactly is the authentic source of evil? Do you actually know?

And why are you still alive if the world is so evil, how come you haven’t been totally annihilated by this so called evil world yet. Hasn’t it come for you yet?

At least this evil world will eventually kill you. Won’t that be a relief.

No more evil thoughts to distract disturb or traumatise and trouble you anymore. At least once it’s had its wicked way with you, it will spare you some sympathetic empathy by unleashing you from your chains and fetters returning you to your everlasting resting place of pure peace for the rest of eternity.

Makes you wonder why evolution bothers to happen at all really, I mean what’s the actual point if it’s just going to kill you anyway in the most evil and heinous manner. It just seems to be an insanely masochistic runnaway train wreck waiting to happen for everyone unfortunate enough to be born.

I, too, had dreams once... dreams of a place long ago and oh so far away from this cruel world. A world where we were all superstars, Fairy.

Then why can't you live peacefully Age? As far as I'm aware, I didn't address you in my post above, because I'm not aware that I'm causing you any lack of peace. Being aware that you are part of all the problems, back in the days when this is being written, why do you continue to be responsible for these problems. Shouldn't you know better by now? haven't you figured out a way to live peacefully by now? If not, then why not? What's keeping you from living peacefully with others?
