Metaphysical Model?

I was just thinking..If we were so small that we fit on an atom...
in lets say in someone's brain....
we could look around and see the vast galaxy of atoms....and particles,
learn the laws of nature that happen at this level..


but we wouldn't realize that what we are part of...actually is thinking and alive...a machine..with a consciousness....

So maybe OUR universe actually thinks like this, but it's sooo vast and happening at such a large level.. we have no idea .

Maybe there is a universal consciousness which we are all part of, that explains how a monk might remember previous rebirths, even though no part of him is the same, the universal consciousness retains it.., or imprints it...and maybe a fitting next link calculated by karma becomes the inheritor of that line......ummmm what else could it explain...it's what keeps track of karma....it's how we are reborn.....it's what is our buddha mind, after all we are little minds...like little eyes on this huge body...that's how we are all one...so to complicate it further we are little eyes, that the BIG brain records the little eyes information... could also explain multiple dimensions, when you are talking about a brain inside a brain inside a brain...like a mind inside a mind, inside a mind...a bunch of mirrors looking into each other forever...
impermanence.....ummm

maybe becoming a 'buddha' is having the little eye (us) ,
realize he/she actually is an organ for a big brain(the super buddha matrix universe consciousness..) and them connecting properly...I always thought the buddha reminded me of a pure vessel that the actual universe peeks through and acts through

we are like the eyes, that think we are just alone, bodies in ourselves...looking out everywhere....but the information we get is from looking at our own super body that...we actually ARE.......
ummm

I lost myself, but think about it hmm I wonder what else that could explain

oh yeah and, 'nirvana', is the unblockage of the connection between us and it...(us and us) ((eye and brain))

'samsara' is the blockage..of mental afflictions and delusions I guess....like a clogged pipe we can't connect like that

Yet every part is the same. Every part of him is the same as you, every part of him is the same as all the fish in the seas. Every part of us is the same as everything.

Sounds like a Dr. Seuss story :^P Now you gotta rhyme:

In the very small Earth, floating in open space
There is one named TheFound, and so he says:
"If we were so small as to fit in an atom
So so small, like a grain of sand
Would we be able to see clearly
The laws of nature and the laws of the land?"

(lol I am sorry I just jest :P By the way there are too many "so's" in my rhyme )

In Buddhism we reject all notions of a metaphysical essence including even the notion of a universal consciousness even though it is taught in Hinduism and new age theories. There is no universal consciousness containing imprints, all karmas and consciousness are individual: individual streams of consciousness succeeding one life to the next but never being at any moment a graspable entity or a self.

Do also read Thusness/PasserBy's Seven Stages of Enlightenment

Stage 5 is especially important for a Buddhist to start to realise and experience experientially what the Buddha teaches. Stages prior to Stage 5 can be found in other non-Buddhist religions and is not necessarily considered 'enlightenment' in Buddhist standards.
