Who Are We? Are we humans trying to awaken or awakening trying to be human?

Perhaps that which is searching is that which has already arrived. What if arrival is all that there is? We think of ourselves as consolidated finite entities moving through time and space. We think our interests are "our" interests. Can we really know that this is true?

We think our likes are "our" likes. We think our dislikes are "our" dislikes. We think our joys are "our" joys and our pain "our" pain. Yet, we have any real evidence that this is indeed the case? How can we know that that is not just a projection from the infinite? These ideas make a great story, and many of us love great stories. Stories are the spice of the cosmos.

Yet , what is this need to be in ownership of the story lines that run through us? Jumping into the movie and thinking that we ARE the movie does feel like great fun. Perhaps this is why the infinite does that as us. And right how, here at least, it is even more fun to see through that game.

Perhaps all of this is just an award winning Broadway Show that has been running now for 129 trillion seasons.

The Bruce that you have known for a long time or are just getting to know here is still intact as this is written. The story still unfolds. Yet, the glue that holds this story together is beyond the story. Does this make sense?
