The Best Idea Ever!

In aware moments I tend to come back to a single concept or model that is rather convenient for the ego to understand and somehow difficult to get past, even on psychedelic states - partly because it's so poignant.

And that concept is very simple:
Life is the best story ever. And it includes all other stories!

It's been rehashed countless times but I have yet to find a better notion to attempt to explain what existence is, how we as human beings are connected to it and what we are ultimately doing here.

The notion goes that the infinite oneness has concoted the ultimate (and probably only workable) conception in order for something to be going on at all. Call it a cosmic counter to eternal boredom. Call it alchemy, distilling the novel out of the completely-known. Call it recombination of selected parts of infinity in order to get involved, in order to get lost and get excited by the illusion of the unknown where it doesn't actually exist and everything is known.

How to best go about that?

The answer is: life. Life in all its various forms and shapes as they are observed by each other on Earth. Impressionable stories and seeming individuals, connected by mere circumstance and lost in the universe with ancient con-artist stories to get lost in, to lose all hope and to wander so far from where the infinity set off into this game that none of us remember our roots and origin, and ultimately take this life as an individual very VERY seriously, believing so firmly it ultimately is how it initially looks.

Kinda want to drill it home a bit... The thing that I find most marvellous about the... idea of life... is that it includes all other ideas. All concepts ever devised, all innovations ever made, all words ever uttered, all shapes of creativity ever displayed, all emotions ever felt, all the manifestations yet to come and go within our current linearly conditioned line of perception.

It will be curious to see (and experience) what other chapters are yet to be read while I get the sense more and more that the book is somehow already written and maybe has been so since the very beginning of this idea. Universe seems too smart for chance or any of these randomness explanations feeble human egos have concocted, though it would be awesome to find the opposite is true. Better reasons and many clear experiences needed for that impression to change, as far as I am concerned but hey, never say never. For now I'll stick with the best idea ever model.

From the perspective of a human being, life may look bleak sometimes. Narratives may be so utterly convincing that we forget it's a story, and we are invited to fall for this tale or that legend at every step of the way. But maybe that's what makes it so exciting - the eternal destiny to arrive back where we started enriched by eons of experience in an illusory realm that was 'merely' a game in order for something to be happening, for the mere sake of "why not?".

When it all seems mundane and you want to move forward, overcome an obstacle or face a challenge - DO. And if you can't find the strength right now just try thinking:

Life - The ultimate story (includes all other stories!)
