How will Juche approach individual and collective choice?

Subtly, you're asking what comes first. The collective or the individual. Chicken-egg.

The chicken and the egg; the chicken can 'decide' to take a walk, eat. The egg? Will it hatch?

When the egg hatches and becomes a chick, is the chick independent from the Chicken?

The same way for the individual and the 'collective'. Independent and co-dependent. The egg and the Chicken are one and the same thing. Identity.

Hello there Wakanyugi?

I am glad to see you here with us.

There's nothing like 'changes that shouldn't have been'. The timeline doesn't care for personal tastes. In the history of Man, change has come without their consent, or control.

Change always is, conflict, even of interpretation always is. Doomed, isn't as bad or fearful as you wish it to be. It is.

Differentiation is a human invention, a useful tool for navigating in our self created 3D reality etc, but only up to a point. The truth is that we are not different, although we play the differentiation game very well. I believe it was Marianne Williamson who said:

"Every problem emerges from the false belief that we are separate from one another, and every answer emerges from the realization we are not."

She has a point.

But, back to the Universe. How can it have a past or future when it contains all these qualities and many more within it? Quantum theory posits that everything that could exist already does.

Another way of putting it is, nothing can exist outside of the Universe and to describe it as having a history means you are assuming a position 'outside' of it - an impossibility. Therein lies the non sequitur I referred to.

Tycho; allow me to put this this way:

1. 'You' are the Universe

2. 'You' are aware of everything 'now' because you are 'all that is'

3. Things like history, past, future, change, you, I, them, differentiation are simply games that 'You' invents and play.

'Row your boat gently down the stream; life's like a dream'. 'Row'. Know. See. Define. Islolate. Create.

Dream.

Thanks Muriel.

Maybe you can help our brother Tycho. Sometimes he takes this illusion stuff too seriously.

Like the man who walks into a pub, orders a few beers, gets drunk and then thinks inebriation is his permanent state.

I worry that brother Tycho is going to wake up with a 'maduong' hangover one of these days.

Your position @Wakanyugi, isn't tenable. In fact, you haven't said anything at all, here.

There you go again, taking the game too seriously. Like the Gor Mahia fan who insists that football is not a matter of life and death but more important than that?

We created separateness, as a game. It has not served us very well at all. So if we transcend it, how does separation then remain? Separate from what?
