When we exist outside of this instantiation, we exist as individual but de-individuated beings. Parts of a whole exists, but thoughts and affect are shared, and together we form a collective.

My best metaphor is individuals are like it's lobes of a cumulus cloud -- real and individual, but existing blended together and with divisions drawn between them being somewhat arbitrary.

Second: we, our consciousnesses, are a temporary instantiation of beings much larger and less limited.

We instantiate into this material world because there's value in limitations such as perception of linear time and space, individuation, growth, temporariness. We're here to learn and have experiences.

So okay. Starting with the basics, the material world as we understand it is a small corner of all that exists. Concepts such as matter, physical space, and linear time are fake concepts that our physiology assumes and finds necessary to interpret the world.

This much I already knew.

Okay, so on Tuesday, Samhain, I mentioned that "a lot of theological and metaphysical puzzle pieces just fell into place for me." It hit me with an obviousness and clarity that I have only experienced once before. Calling it a revelation is not an overstatement.

I said then that I needed a bit of time before talking about it publicly.

I am certain that now is the right time. Thread below, behind the cut.

Snow all day, and now a full moon tonight.

Cool engineering/design feature of the day: smoke detectors in my house apparently have a little cam that physically stops you from mounting them unless they have a battery installed.

I'm rather impressed.

Apologies for the boost earlier.

Hey so um, I don't know if this is okay to ask or not and I feel kind of bad for not already knowing, but if any of y'all know a band or album that Natalie particularly liked, let me know? I feel like blasting some of her music would be a good thing for me to do right now.

If anyone I know in the Seattle area wants or needs to be with people now or through the evening, my house and arms are open to you.

@tipsytentacle I wish I had reached out more, and I'm sorry I didn't. I should have know that saying something would have been okay even if I had been wrong about you hurting. I'm sorry.

@tipsytentacle​, I'm going to miss you. You're one of the first people I met on here, and you made this site and the community a better place.

I wish I had more time to get to know you better. I hope you've found peace.

CW for community suicide in last boost.
