Just become a crow first, then zoom!

Why did I not think of it?! :D :D :D

Is God true? … who is believing the lie? Us? or Richard Dawkins?

Ironically, even Dawkins may be right. God is just a word, after all. The real problem is what it actually denotes. Majority of people see God outside of themselves. To my surprise, many still in the way of a bearded man in the sky, but most people see God as an external force hidden from plain sight. No doubt, it is “outside”, but it is equally “inside”. There is no place where God is not. What can I tell you, wherever I look I see God. And guess who’s looking!

A lot of the “critical thinking” you prescribe, IMHO, serves the goal of conformity, not truth

Well, I applied this to myself and it turned out that even all of my experiences, from “ordinary reality”, through all the “mystical realms”, to “no-thingness” can be doubted in one way or another. They say absolutely nothing about the true nature of reality or who the F I am. So, I was left with only existence and knowledge of existence. You can try to doubt even that, but it always throws you straight into “it is what it is”. You can say that I gaslighted myself out of my mind, and it was certainly not pleasant to the ego.

With that being said — science is great to doubt “non-ordinary” reality and vice versa. So, on one hand, “what you see is NOT what you get”, and yet, you always get only what you see. There is nothing hidden. Everything is in plain sight. It simply is what it is.

In other words, first we need to poke a hole in the fixed concept of reality and then also in the concept of “non-ordinary” reality. In Castaneda-speak, don’t get trapped in second attention ;)
