(no subject)

For the past year or more (I cant remember how long exactly), I've felt something like a void looking at the world through human eyes. Not in a bad way. I feel, actually I know, that this is the most natural, most lucid state for a mind to be in. The only thing that distinguishes this mindset from that of any other person is the absence of the onion-skin structure of concentric lies about what my "identity" is supposed to consist of. Or maybe if they aren't completely absent at least to me they're now transparent. The qualities that distinguish one person from another come first from heredity, and then from the environment and the probabilistic fractal-evolution of the human mind. There is no "you" or "me", just as there is no electron A or electron B; there is only one electron field that exists everywhere in spacetime. The fact that something as far-removed as knowledge isn't intrinsically shared between us has no bearing on the fact that the mechanism at the root of consciousness is everywhere and is infinite. This mechanism is the only part of the entire conscious process that could be regarded as sacred and spiritual. Everything else, although real, is chemistry and is understood. That is the major contradiction in many spiritual viewpoints: the soul is regarded as the fundamental distinction between individual minds. But on the contrary, the miraculous self-assertion of consciousness occurs at a level that is more fundamental than anything that divides us.
