No Werner,

 

It's not a romantic fantasy, it's my experience.

 

Consciousness has no content. It is the Infinite Self peering through,

having it's experience as us, and all living and non-living forms.

See it your own way as you prefer. There's room for every point of view.

Ok Larry,

 

I ´believe that it is you own experiences and my own experience is

that I am Santa Claus.

Werner did not say consciousness has content. He said it is

content. My content or consciousness or experience of life is much

different than yours or anyone else's. I do not perceive an Infinite

Self peering through me, vicariously experiencing what I experience.

The very thought of that scares me and seems to be closely related to

some of the Star Trek episodes I've seen in which a human is taken

over - body and mind - by some kind of parasitical space invader or

something. Or worse, it's like spirit possession. Fantasmagorical

stuff, Larry!
