What do you guys think of this quote I heard
WHEN YOU WERE BORN, YOU WERE HERE, AND NOW YOU ARE HERE, AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL BE HERE.
so you really have not gone anywhere have you?
We only have time because of the sun and planets. If we didnt have those, there would no longer be a day or a week. All that is illusion.
There is NO beginning and NO end. So wherever we move to, we really have not moved.
We will be this way eternally. Always here, forever. No matter what shape or form.
We have also been everything there is to be. We have been murderers, warriors, queens, slaves, men and women. All right here.

We only have our definition of time because conscious life exists to measure it. Time does exists, but the measurement of time depends on the stars and planets.
I believe in life and death, therefore also beginning and end.
We will always be here forever, but in a different form..as in returned to the earth in death.
We all have the potential to be murderers, warriors, queens, slaves..whichever we choose.
This quote is too vague I think.

Is this an alan watts quote by chance? I'm too lazy to google on the iPhone, but it sure sounds like one.

I think everything is in motion - nothing here leaves the plane of existence - but the radiations which are constantly swapping energy forms are always moving throughout the universe.
So the energy from the stars and the sun is being put into fruit trees. Traveling millions of light years and 8 minutes from the sun - to do so. Then that energy is being converted photosynthesis - and then digested into our beings - renewing and building new cells.
The waste is being put back into the Earth and continues to feed the plants and organisms. That's why i think we continually have progressive evolution.

This reminds me of what the brilliant guy who wrote the alchemist said
someone asked what he thought of life after death and he said
"I am having a life after death experience now"
wow ---love it ----takes the fear away

If you're always the same way forever, then you wouldn't ever change. If you couldn't change, you wouldn't be able to age, get sick, and then die. If you couldn't change, you couldn't change status, from a murderer, to a queen, to slave, and so forth. Then whenever you had the state of mind where you were mad, you'd always be mad, forever. Or sad. Or confused. Something that is forever and permanent by definition is something that can never change. I think the great freedom is actually in the fact that we can change. Who would want to be unhappy forever?
So maybe what we are is constantly changing. So this stream of consciousness is always changing, maybe the question is, what is the natural state of this consciousness?

It's more of a concept that encourages you to be less static and tick tock in your thoughts.

The dancer and the dance can not be seperated...
When the dance is over, the dancer will find himself at the same place as before the dance...
All there is is pure consciousness in rest, because it is always there and independent of all appearances.
ALL the rest is just appearances in consciousness, NOT independent and temporary, and in that way
not real....
What we are is not a concept, and not something constantly changing.
What we think we are (changing appearances) is never our true nature.
