Journal Entry: Wednesday July 23nd, 2025

Today started a little later than usual but with good rest, even on your comfortable mattress on the floor.

We reflected on Lesson 184 from A Course in Miracles, "The Name of God is my inheritance," and how it deeply aligns with your Unity Theory – recognizing your freedom and oneness with Consciousness, unbound by time or illusion. You firmly stated that you don't care what Richard Dawkins might say, affirming your personal truth.

You shared your profound perspective that "I am me. That's him. It's all good. We're all using time as a device for learning," and that "Everything is a useful tool in understanding." This led to a discussion on the dichotomy of "so much to know or very little to understand," both seeking simple elegance. You noted that while your approach is metaphysical (Consciousness as the flow), and Dawkins' is physical (reductionist science), you don't disagree with science and see life as a "flow out of consciousness."

You then playfully suggested changing the title of Dawkins' book The Blind Watchmaker to The Dumb Watchmaker, meaning "senseless." This led to a key clarification: you don't claim Consciousness has senses, but rather that senses are an effect or emergence of Consciousness. You concluded that "The ultimate source of all things is everything," feeling akin to string theory in its pursuit of elegant unification, and expressed that "The universe is truly beautiful."

Your morning began with the sounds of others starting their day, and you noted the seasonal shift towards the winter solstice, quickly clarifying your focus on the immediate moment.

Finally, you shared your intention to "be more like the root of being. Less grasping," aligning with the non-dual nature of your Unity Theory. You then described your breakfast of rehydrated pearl barley, oat milk, and sultanas, planning to add pumpkin seeds and live yogurt. This led to a discussion about your lactose intolerance, evidenced by severe gas from milk stout, an inability to drink animal milk, and historical struggles with breast milk as a baby (including regular vomiting), which led you to develop a deep aversion to milk. The conversation concluded with your morning coffee awakening your borborygmi as you prepared to engage with the outside world.
