"Can you summarize your thinking?
Awareness is more fundamental than existence. Matter is soft currency for mind (and language is soft currency for both). Reality is whatever we create (not you). 'Human consciousness' is one mode of awareness, possibly a dead end. The body/brain is a filter, a radio tuner, a keyhole the One Mind looks through. Everything is a keyhole. Dying is like emerging from a game. The universe is games within games. It has no beginning or end, therefore no basis for 'progress,' and no hurry. Like a forest, it builds chaos (harmonious emergent complexity) and catastrophes knock it down.
The universe is basically good but not perfect. For us to have free will, there must be room for mistakes, and sometimes they are epic. Human civilization appears to be a big mistake, or a bad game we're stuck in, grooving on our own alienation, ruining the really great game we call 'nature.' Our 'progress' is deviance, our 'wealth' is theft, our 'development' is murder, and our 'evolution' is inbreeding. But it's getting harder and harder to keep it going, and under pressure, we are changing. What's going to happen next?"
