A man realized that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

I've been trying to get to that point for the last 40 years. If anybody knows how he did it please tell me.
Intellectual knowledge doesn't help, you have to be there for it to really mean something.
Here is one man who got there, unfortunately his body died back in the 50s

Our brain is so phenomenally powerful that it deliberately restricts our knowledge. We don't understand how the brain works because it won't let us... the brain realising that we will try to replicate it with a machine or implant chips in it etc.
It is also clever enough to make up stories like P.R's (that we don't exist, and life is but a dream etc), in order that we are still at a loss to explain things... resulting again in the preservation of the brain.
From an engineer's point of view, what's the extra power for? Future upgrades? Like the dashboard of my old bike that had warning lights for features that weren't installed yet.
If that's so, I wonder if there's a scheduled release date for the upgrades?
As for the consciousness, I'm sure I caught a glimpse the other day on a left-hander. Could go back and try and find it again, I'm sure it's there somewhere.
Life is survival, taking one breath after another to feed your lungs that feeds your blood that keeps the heat pumping. I often think about life. As a Christian I believe some eventualities that many do not accept.
Are we just energy slowed down? Why does certain matter subject other matter to pain, suffering and death? We are more than energy slowed down.
Life or The meaning of life?
Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations

...... Life is nothing but a tender, extravagant and solitary paranoic critical unfolding of time and space. (QED)
Why worry about it. Just enjoy your life to the fullest because you never know when your number is up!
Funny isn't it.
People spending their whole life doing what their doctrine dictates so that all will be well when they die.
It seems death plays a huge role in some peoples life.
Speaking of slow vibrations..
Try 7 Hz.

Imagine the authorities getting hold of one of French robotics scientist Vladimir Gavreau's "police whistle," sometimes called a "sound cannon." It's an infrasonic device so lethal there is reportedly no known defense against it. By lowering the frequency of sound below 15 cycles per second -- so low that the sound can't be humanly heard -- such a device is capable of spreading death and destruction from a source that is impossible to detect without special equipment.
Gavreau discovered that the wave length "most dangerous to human life" is 7 Hertz (seven cycles per second). Some of the invisible injuries to Gavreau and his team were more persistent. According to another account, they "were dangerously ill for days, their internal organs wracked with painful spasms as a result of their body cavities having resonated at the deadly frequency." They had only just escaped being "torn apart" by their own experiment. What's more, "the entire test building was shaken and nearly destroyed."
Claims like that are hard to believe. But others go further. In one test, reportedly "involving a device less than a cubic metre in volume," Gavreau's team "caused a large, fan-shaped portion of Marseilles to shake. Later, a mounted and remotely controlled version [of the device] was said to have 'burst heavy battlements and tank interiors open with a hideous effortlessness.'"

Thats the thing about paranoia it never really resolves it just gets more and more insidious.
Misinterpretation of circumstance is a powerful thing especially if you've got a public profile.
^ Exactly what I was going to say.
Ok, so what is consciousness, exactly? I think we should resolve that question before moving on.
There would seem to be 'levels' ie things are certainly different when i've had a coffee at 3pm to when I've woken up at 3am to catch a plane. What divides these 'levels'?
Rocks aren't conscious. Dogs are. Butterflies???
