I dont mean that we are the same as in each human is exactly like one another.
I mean we are the same as in there is no "we", "we" is an illusion. There is only one of us, experiencing existence through the lens of each living creature simultaneously. "We" are the universe itself. The humans, the animals, all of the matter and energy are just perturbations in our collective fabric. The current body in which you are experiencing life is just one of many appendiges.
You are yourself and you are your parents. You are the primordial cavemen. You are hitler, and you are ghandi.
All of these experiences of each life feed back into the greater consciousness.
In a way, but we are also different and our own experiences/thoughts belong to only us. As far as we know.
I have a story I want to tell where in our dreams we reconnect with the "tree of life" and this is our opportunity to split from combined consciousness or recombine with the singularity.
In this space we are searching and experiencing different realities, lifetimes, or similar lifetimes where only a single choice is made different, where time isnt exactly 1:1 and when we wake there are remnants of our experiences in these states. It will explain how death isn't a inevibiltiy but in this search we find where we think we want to be. It's just that it's a vast sea and the searching never truly ends.
Makes me think about how many might chose to be a cell or more complex life.
