i'm sorry, but as much as i try to understand the premise that 'there's only one of us here', i really don't get it. it feels like mind games to me.

does anyone else feel like this, or is it just me?

i've been trying to understand why it seemed so important and hilarious to david and larry to keep bringing that up.

i get it on an intellectual level that we are all connected and essentially parts of a whole and only think we're separate but what is the point to even know that 'truth' if there's nothing that can be gained from it except making some of us even more intellectually divided?

what use is there in knowing that we are the same person when we still act like an individual, larry isn't about to donate his unused recording equipment to charity is he?

at what point does knowing that we are all one and yet choosing to live a more luxurious life than others seem hypocritical?

is the point just to figure out the 'truth' like david and larry are doing with their studies and conclusions of "oneness" or is the point to do something with this apparent perception of separateness?

i got the (possibly incorrect) feeling from pt 2 of the audio blog that there is a spiritual hierarchy where 20 or so ascended people are at the top of the pile (according to larry) then you have people like eckhart tolle who can just wander around without the shackles of society then people like david and larry who have both material and spiritual wealth and then people like you and me who at least want to understand and then everyone else.

but is that the point? a spiritual darwinian struggle to get to the top?

why is the material world a lower form of reality than just wandering around 'getting it' like tolle?

is it a 'failure' to not "get it"?
