What if killing 168 schoolgirls in the process of killing much of the leadership of a sovereign nation that hadn't attacked or even threatened us didn't matter?
What if killing innocent fishermen earning a living in the sea off Venezuela didn't matter?
What if cutting off the oil supply to Cuba, effectively starving the island nation that also posed no threat, didn't matter?
What if eliminating funds for food and HIV treatment for African nations, effectively killing thousands, didn't matter?
What if government agents randomly kidnapping people off the streets of American cities didn't matter? What if those same agents killing innocent American citizens in the same streets didn't matter?
What if powerful, influential men participating in a worldwide sex trafficking ring with young girls didn't matter?
What if caring about such things was all just something we made up in our minds? A "construct," to borrow a concept from Deepak Chopra. Constructs, according to the meditation guru who shared intimate emails about a taste for young girls with Jeffrey Epstein, are mental creations (beliefs, roles, ideas) that help us get through life, but keep us from recognizing our true nature - pure awareness, as he says. Chopra promotes meditation to get past the fear and ego which he says bind us to these constructs so that we can find the "real" reality within ourselves as part of a massive field of consciousness.
What if, as part of this vast consciousness, age, sexual behavior, honesty, respect, compassion, decency and other "constructs" that guide us through life don't matter? What if grown men meditating regularly and engaging in sexual activity with young girls (a construct defined by most as rape) is a construct one can live with? And, of course, lying about it. One's own convenient "real" reality? Pure awareness.
Meditate on that.
And while you're in a meditative state, consider the proposition put forth by another proponent of the "all is not what it seems to be" fraternity -- Tom Campbell. The physicist/philosopher posits that we are all simply characters in a digital virtual reality. Campbell's "larger consciousness system" is the computer that produces our reality.
Campbell's three-book series under the umbrella title of "My Big Toe" ("My Big Theory of Everything"), posits that your true self -- the Player -- is a non-physical unit of consciousness, which exists outside of a physical simulation, your avatar, which is your body and brain. The "player" (not your brain) makes all the choices for your avatar within the virtual reality. And, it has a purpose -- to lower the entropy (the disorder in our lives such as war, killing, kidnaping, rape, lying) by choosing love and cooperation over fear and ego.
Well, in that case, all of it would seem to matter.
Hmm. Conundrum.
"Real" reality or virtual reality?
