The real you

Try touching what you normally think of as yourself. (What?! Suddenly!)

I think you usually live your life thinking that this is you.

This time, I'll tell you a mysterious story about the possibility that it might not be you.

Now, let's say there are 1,000 trillion elementary particles in the universe.

There are a quadrillion tiny balls in the universe. Or should I say marbles?

Ah, I guess I'll go with BB guns after all. (Any of them will do.)

The universe broke into pieces in the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, and now, 13.7 billion years later, there are 1,000 trillion pieces of it, but originally it was just one thing.

Everything. (That's kind of cool.)

All the energy, all the mass in this universe.

It was all in one place.

Scientists have named this the singularity.

When I think of what the singularity 13.7 billion years ago was like, I imagine it as 1,000 trillion BBs packed into one place, but because the singularity is the place with the highest energy in the universe, atomic nuclei have also collapsed, and there is no boundary between matter A and matter B. It wasn't 1,000 trillion BBs all together, but rather a single entity. That is the singularity.

Close your eyes and imagine it.

Imagine a singularity, before the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, where all the mass, all the elementary particles, and all the energy in the universe were concentrated at one point.

So, what color did the singularity appear to you?

Unfortunately, everyone who guessed the color was wrong lol (how arrogant)

The concept of a singularity is that all matter in the universe is fused together as one.

So you just imagined the singularity, right?

There is a separation between what is imagined and what is imagined.

This, too, is what makes it a singularity.

This means that singularities are impossible to imagine.

This is because you cannot observe it unless you are outside the singularity. (You bastard)

Until the singularity separated during the Big Bang, the universe was lonely and unable to do anything.

When separation began with the Big Bang, the universe was born with both things that see and things that are seen.

This is where the universe first experiences the act of observation.

There is something to see and something to be seen, and only then does awareness arise.

Object and subject, concepts that explain them.

The God of Ameminakanusi, the God of Takamimusubi, and the God of Kamimusubi.

Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi.

Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

Chan Lin Shan (old...)"An old Japanese rinse-in shampoo."

These also represent the birth of three (triangles) in the beginning.

 

 

Before separation we could not perceive, see, or think.

The story "The Butterfly Dream" is based on a historical event by the Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, in which Zhuangzi turns into a butterfly in a dream and, as he flutters about, forgets that he is himself.

This comes from deep consideration of the experience of waking up and realizing that it is you, and then not being able to distinguish between reality and dreams , and wondering, "Am I dreaming to become a butterfly, or is the butterfly dreaming to become me?"

It was no longer possible to say whether I was dreaming about butterflies or whether someone had started dreaming about me.

This raises the possibility that someone else may have started having the dream that you think is you.

2000 years after Zhuangzi had that dream, a psychologist made a discovery.

It is a psychological trait called self-identification.

Copying the hairstyle or fashion of a model you think is cool, and I started playing the bass because I admired Matsui Tsunematsu of Boowy ”Old Japanese bands", and now I try to imitate Matsui and play all the songs using downpicking. (That was me in middle school, lol.)

Also, when we feel sad or moved by a movie or drama, it is a phenomenon caused by self-identification, where we replace the main character with ourselves.

I am "the one who sees" and Tsunematsu is "the one who is seen." And vice versa.

Yes. It's here.

It gets complicated from here lol

When you think of yourself as yourself, it means that something recognizes you as itself.

The part of me that thinks of myself (Tsunematsu) as myself thinks of myself (Tsunematsu) as myself.

The reason I can think of myself (Tsunematsu) as myself is because I am not myself (Tsunematsu). (What is this guy talking about?)

Usually you think of yourself as you, right?

There is something that thinks you are it, so it thinks you are you.

See, it's complicated, right?

We usually think of this as me (touching myself).

The reason is that this is not me. (No way, come back!)

Welcome to the state of egolessness where you are not yourself.

You are now a Buddha lol

 

Even if you think you are, you will no longer be there.

 

 

I want you to try saying it out loud.

 

The reason I think of (your name) as me is because I am not (your name).

It is precisely because I am not (your name) that I can think of (your name) as me.

Let's observe you from your true place.

 

thank you very much.
