 Chapter seven different costumes same eye Hmm. How do we uh, I mean, it's a great continuation from the last one Yeah, and first I'll just kind of set the stage by saying that it's a stage. Yes It's like a like a play that you will go to you know all the characters You know you have your your mom your dad you have the tree you have the wind sometimes You know they actually have characters playing the wind All of those beings are Actual people so like they have names on stage, but they're actually people like if you go approach them later They won't talk talk to you about their stage name. They'll tell you who they are. Yeah, and that's important Yeah, softball it over. Yeah Right, right. Um, yeah, that mean that they're telling us who they truly are but there's something on stage though They're playing a character. Yes, and that's This is so foundational to the book to the course to self-inquiry is You have like we said you have play you have Characters you have costumes you have identities and you have I behind all of that And so when you're tuned into okay different costumes same eye and that I can Forget itself as the costume identity. Mm-hmm. It can remember itself through like the costume identity And then it can be the costume from the knowledge And then thank you and then it looks at its Other costumes and it sees eye behind those other costumes Man, and it just comes from that knowledge So it comes from love and our timelessness and I like what you said. It's like arguably To to discover eye you need the costume. Yes, it's like to discover eye You need the illusion. Nice How would I know? You know, um, and I like this quote as it being arguably the most important future realities the ability To forget and remember. Yeah That's at chapter seven we're explaining God. Yes We're explaining God in the same sentence as you You have the ability to forget and remember you can choose bondage Yeah You can choose bondage just like you can choose freedom You know, this is actually one of my favorite ways when I talk to people because people ask me about what's going on And it's so at when they ask I Now that I've gained a new level of mastery. I'll reflect to them That either way If you choose to Stay in bondage and stay in illusion. Stay in suffering of separation In only being your label It's just as free and just as powerful if you choose to remember I behind all costumes and to let go of your suffering and let go of all of the stories and lack and separation and anxiety and depression And that's equally as free of a choice to go either and that's the art of free will that's the art of sovereignty That's the art of being pure reflection to them that either choice is free and then from there they can choose freely Instead of yeah, yeah I have nothing to say so The ability to forget and remember man you killed that I'm sorry It's a cool feature It's dope. Yeah, and when we did our conversation back in august of 2021 on simulation When we first launched the book we We were both so like in love with how God I Can design reality Where there is the feature to forget and remember That is crazy I can't even fathom that Like just to think about coming up with that thought You're saying i'ma put this into design How like and then and then to say okay, then how would you form it? So it it's it's it's flawless It's like flawless like I mean and like in the spiritual community I would say that we forget all the time Everyone forgets And it's like inevitable and you just have the choice to remember when you choose to I honestly want to say we're more in forgetfulness than remembering I mean like subconsciously maybe it's other way around but like consciously like You know, I don't go around like oh, I'm god. I'm god. I'm god. I'm god. I'm god. No, I'm like don't perpetually Yeah, I'm I I'm I this is I it's all I right I'm at cvs or I'm driving my car. I'm doing this and that And then I remember or it dawns on me like wow, we're all connected You know, it's like and so and I was talking to Alice I was like, you know that would give me a headache man to constantly know all the time or be Like consciously aware rather that I'm god. I'm god. I'm god. I'm all connected. This is all there is Because it can get a window you live it can get a little because I'm I would say I'm right now in the phase where I'm As I talk to the checker out person at cvs I you're in that mind. I'm in that mindset where I where I speak and I sort of like try to listen to the words that I say from the Other self. I want you to say that one more time. Do you speak like when I speak? I'm trying to be you Listening to these words simultaneously And that can it can get very trippy and it can get um It's kind of nice to forget. Let's put it that way Right, but just just just to highlight that though if you were to just stop the course after what he just said and just really marinate on it That's powerful. It's really powerful to really sit here and think and hear Yourself yes from another person's body just you know that like I said, we don't we're not advocating to do it all the time But just to have that those moments. It's powerful and it anchors you and I and it anchors you and awareness Yes, yeah, and then if you bring that To when you talk to your wife your husband your co-workers your friends strangers It will totally Change Because you will no longer be trying to like force a perspective or try to change someone We're trying manipulate because you'll know that they are also I And that means they are also you And you as a unique expression and you as a unique expression correct and then That's where the greater harmony the greater love all that good stuff can come And another important part to this chapter that We were touching on a little bit earlier. Is this quote veil what you could also say is like a veil less veil Arguably being one of the most important features of reality where it's the ability to forget and remember As has been talked about in traditions. It's sort of like the front and back side of your hand Or another way to view it. It's like that very That line which isn't even really a line between the shadow and the light Yeah When you see the way that It's hitting a tree and where the line is the ability Is that middle point? Yeah, and then you just go either way but to have that ability the ability is like riding that middle ground the sweet spot That's what they talk about in spirituality. Yes sweet spot, man The middle way the middle path Yeah, because you don't you don't want to overly indulge in illusion and forgetting and you don't want to overly indulge in Oh, I know that i'm gone and i'm running around saying everyone is I and don't forget and all this type of stuff Yeah, so I'm going to start selling subscriptions and courses and all this type of stuff and making that your identity Yeah, now you have a new spiritual ego, right? I'm a guru. You listen to me Yes, yes, I'm going to have an ashram. Everyone's going to come to my ashram which is I don't know like I said in the beginning of my path. I love stuff like that now It's just like man, that's just kicking in watch the office go to rascals Yeah I want to see your fucking temple, bro. Yeah, good. Just know that the temple is inside. It's I that's it. That's it Yeah, all right beautiful chapter seven. That is chapter seven
