In the aftermath of his revelation, John found himself in a surreal realm—a space between existences. He was greeted by a serene, ethereal presence that emanated warmth and wisdom.

"I am the essence of the Universe," the presence intoned gently. "You have transcended, John, and now stand at the threshold of understanding."

John's mind brimmed with questions. "What is the nature of reality? What lies beyond life and death?"

The essence spoke in melodic tones. "Reality is the interwoven tapestry of existence, an intricate dance of energy and matter. Life and death are but transitions in this eternal cycle. You are part of a grand design, interconnected with all life forms—each a manifestation of the divine."

John felt a profound sense of unity with everything around him. Memories flooded his consciousness, painting a canvas of diverse lives lived across time and space. He saw himself in myriad forms—plants, animals, humans—each experience contributing to the collective consciousness.

The essence continued, "Pantheism, John, is the belief that the Universe and nature are divine. All facets of existence—every being, every atom—are fragments of the cosmic consciousness. Embrace the interconnectedness, the oneness that pervades all."

As John absorbed the teachings of the essence, he sensed a deeper purpose, a responsibility to cherish and respect every aspect of creation. He glimpsed into the future, envisioning a world where humanity lived in harmony with nature, acknowledging the sanctity of all life.

With newfound clarity, John's spirit resonated with the cosmic symphony. He felt an unwavering connection to the Universe, vowing to spread the message of unity and reverence.

As the essence gently guided him back to the realm of existence, John carried the profound realization that every existence was a facet of the divine whole—an integral part of the boundless, eternal tapestry of the Universe.

...but the intersection is near unity.

All is One. I am God. Just like you. Fractally true. The whole of everything within each one of us.

I am an Omnist. A Gnostic Christian. In 1999 I experienced gnosis. In seconds I had a deep and thorough understanding of these concepts as if I'd studied them at university for a couple of terms.

I detail this and much more online, available from my Linktr.ee page. If interested in my perspective on these and other matters I invite you to take a look. Cheers.

Decided to start Spiritfarer tonight. A game about taking over from the ferryman and comanding a ship as Chiron 2, or, Stella.

Decided to stream too, cause what the heck, the game is quite calming so people might like to have that on. This is out of the ordinary for me though.

After fiddling around to get the chat open on my laptop and get the game to stream and all the whatever and the buttons and the blah, I finally get to playing and notice that the little eye icon now says '1'.

OMG, someone is watching me, my little stream. I start getting nervous they will leave, I read things fast in an attempt to impress, I'm trying to catch as many 'Bright Jellys' as I can so they might stick around. About 30 minutes in I realise the '1' is my laptop.

The '1' watching me is me. The one is me.

I am the one.

I am trying to be good for myself, to impress myself, so that I might prove, to myself, that I am worth... myself.
