Yeah.

So many things I want to say now, but here's one thing is the way I think about consciousness, if it's fundamental-

is analogous to a pot of boiling water where the water is the consciousness and the bubbles are the conscious experiences.

And so it is all one thing.

And then there are these shapes that take form and there's a felt experience, right?

It's all felt experience.

And so

When we're able to let go of this sense of self or this illusion of self, the idea that experiences are happening to something or to someone drops out.

And what you get is just experiences arising.

So there's the fundamental nature of the universe, which obviously has a structure and obeys laws.

But what you get out of that are experiences.

appearances of different conscious experiences.

They're just coming into being, right?

And so there is under that view, I mean, there are different ways to look at the fundamental nature of reality without consciousness and kind of come up with a similar view.

But in that view, it is just kind of one, it's one thing with different experiences popping up.

The devil.

I mean, that was my first rejection of many worlds.

Just my psychological rejection of it was just imagining the multiplication of all the suffering.

I just, I mean, I spend a lot of time.
