The universe is consciousness experiencing itself. There are infinite versions of you. You never end, you only learn and grow. Even the shitty stuff serves a a point of reference.

Reminds me of The Egg, by Andy Weir. Hands down my favorite short story of all time.

That story gave me a feeling that I have no words for…like a happy-sad-existential-crisis-enlightenment? Is there a word for that? Surely, the Germans might’ve come up with one already lol

It does seem like there would be. I found the underlying concept transformative in my interactions with other people.

Well, for me, I believe that consciousness and your soil is a unique YOU. And physical/temporal reality is like this kaleidoscope you can use to look through at yourself and others. And it’s constantly changing. And each different lifetime is this different perspective you never knew. Every particle has some level of awareness, which is what collapses the quantum super states. And we all share this space so our collective reality is stable because we are all looking at each other and thus find the collective same states for reality. And we make choices in that space. Hard science can make sense of HOW our bodies act like computers but could never replicate consciousness because that’s just another name for creating another life/person. Anyway, the universe is infinite so if you can imagine it, it has or will exist somewhere, sometime.
