What happens when two minds in dialogue begin to dissolve the boundary between philosophy and intuition, between metaphysics and a late-morning chat? In this conversation between Jan and Ivo, we encounter a spontaneous ontology, not framed by academia but shaped by the urgent, visceral insights of lived experience. The text moves between playful thought experiments, radical solipsism, simulation theory, the metaphysics of color perception, and questions of divine justice and reincarnation.

Here, Kierkegaard’s existential trembling meets Nietzsche’s dance with eternal recurrence. Ivo and Jan intuit a kind of metaphysical verticality: each moment, each life, is not only sacred but interconnected. The idea of the “Egg”, popularized in Andy Weir’s short story, finds its echo here, as does the gnosis of the mystic traditions: we are not separate. Or if we are, it is only temporarily, in service of a cosmic game of remembering. Lets Go:

A Dialogue on issness

Ivo: Every consciousness has a slightly different perspective. You probably see colors differently than I do.

Ivo: We both call it green, but if we could look into each other’s awareness, we’d see the difference. There are demonstrably infinite colors in light.

Jan: True.

Ivo: White and black the same? 😂 Or maybe we can reinvent even pale colors.

Ivo: I do wonder what you see. Physics is the same for both of us, but the color is where the eye turns electrical signals into conscious vision. The dimensions are illusionary. There’s no material dimension, only sense-and-space-enriched consciousness.

Ivo: Consciousness is the space.

Ivo: It’s now.

Ivo: Here and now. That’s it. 😜

Ivo: Sick simulation, right? You’re here and now too.

Ivo: With the illusion of distance between your fingertips, or between you and me.

Jan: we translate all our experiences in a simple 3-dimensional grid. Even above and below are useless concepts from the perspective of the multidimensional space

Ivo: We’re all here and now! I think! And maybe God experiences every life from within, synchronously. Fair enough, considering what He lets happen to the kids.

Ivo: There’s something in the Egg. The story of Andy Weir.

INTERMEZZO: The Egg

This concept refers to a short story by Andy Weir, in which a man dies and meets God. In this dialogue, God explains that the entire universe is an egg, a place for the man’s soul to mature. Reincarnation is not just real, it’s universal. Every person who ever lived or will live is the same consciousness, experiencing life from every angle.

In this view, there is no other. Every interaction, every cruelty or kindness, is done to oneself. God explains: “Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.” The story is a powerful metaphor for empathy, unity, and the unfolding of a cosmic self.

For Jan and Ivo, the Egg becomes a springboard into reflections on time, illusion, and divine simulation. Consciousness is a singular thread weaving through myriad lifetimes, experiences, and perspectives. If everything is one, then even suffering, confusion, and absurdity take on an unexpected grace.

The Egg is not doctrine. It’s a poetic rendering of a truth many mystics, philosophers, and sages have intuited: that we are not separate, that time is not linear, and that the divine mystery is not “out there” but unfolding, always, here and now.

Ivo: Now can have unconscious gaps too. Like in deep sleep.

Ivo: We could have this conversation for 100,000 years in human clock time. Our soul unconscious, while God plays in other countries or dimensions, in the now.

Ivo: Know what’s really sick? If the Egg is true, there’s infinite life in unity consciousness. One after the other. But if you infinitely sort by quality or joy and always choose better, more beautiful lives than the last…

Ivo: …then the shitty lives never get played. Infinite goodness ahead.

Ivo: Animated by God for narrative, but He wasn’t home. Unconscious presence. And just like that, evil is gone. The worst suffering never happened, only you existed.

Ivo: Hordes of people never really lived, just projected a semblance of consciousness. So that those who had to suffer a bit could still be grateful.

Ivo: Because it could have been worse. That person never actually existed, so didn’t suffer. Throwing napalm at people in the Divine Plan? I get the point of pain. But God = Love 😛

Ivo: So maybe this works fine. That you are the Divine Unsplittable Solo Consciousness, and there’s only one way not to feel alone: being born again and again, forgetting the illusion, experiencing companionship and love with co-consciousnesses that contain no true separate awareness.

Ivo: Then finding the truth. Making peace with it, having some fun, dying. Next!

Ivo: Ok, enough weed. Let’s write a little philosophy book when I visit. Haha.

Ivo: All that religion, spiritual warfare, and suffering? It’s multifunctional, man. Soul training. Or better: ego recognition lessons.

Ivo: Physical pain? At least you know how good it normally is.

Ivo: Worry? Learn to trust.

Ivo: Boredom? Haha. Training level. The next one’s more blissed out.

Ivo: Meditation? Just a feature in this level. There are infinitely more interesting experiences in the infinite set of consciousness.

Ivo: Just to teach you: you are formless consciousness.

Jan: And in that multidimensional consciousness the I rises as well as the body and all sensations. You can easily detect: there is no localization or properties of the “I”…

Ivo: You know what? You were right. I’m convinced now. We do have a personal soul. It doesn’t need to merge back into the Source. I’m totally fine always being Ivo. In my next life, a tree or something. No thoughts, just blissful branch-being. No sense of time. Until you die, and become a thinking being again. With new riddles and games.

Jan: Evil is just a concept, valid only for man.

Ivo: Divine channeling. The Holy Spirit speaks through me. That’s how it feels sometimes. 😜

Ivo: Strange. When I look at Jan I indeed only see what Jan hasn’t absorbed. A skin of light 😂

Ivo: Actually, I see consciousness.

Ivo: Haha I get it and don’t, and then I do, and with the weed I can’t put it into words.

Ivo: I think that within my lifetime the world population will be enlightened. At least with Christ Consciousness. Zero wars.

Ivo: No judgments on the morality of consciousness. Because God = Love. And you and all your fellow humans too.

Jan: Nah that love part — I don’t know. That’s more our need.

Jan: We should find another word.

Ivo: No, God = Love. There’s just some shit so that lots of newborn souls can learn the basic rules 😛

Ivo: Love thy neighbor as thyself. This is the children’s playground, but also for some adults!

Ivo: Fear once that you’ll be annihilated when you die. Then you’ll be infinitely grateful that the adventure continues.

Ivo: Occasionally a valley makes the peak better. You need to have known pain as fresh awareness.

Ivo: The way of the Tao that can be told, blah blah.

Ivo: Scarcity is designed. The joy of being. Nothing wrong with that haha. But the joy of flowing through abundant experiences. It gets better and you experience more. Infinite experience and it can always be better.

Ivo: All consciousness is love and so is God. So love God.

Ivo: How could you possibly know what’s best for you. Both in development and in love and joy. Trust the process. Surrender.

Ivo: This universe will die the heat death, but infinite consciousness has no trouble creating something entirely new. Anything is possible mathematically. All hail Gödel.

Ivo: And I think God wants to be one of us haha. Experiencing and not knowing exactly what will happen. Quantum physics probably works everywhere.

Ivo: Oh yes and the most important one. Know thyself 😄

Ivo: The Buddha: all suffering is in the mind.

Ivo: Jesus: all sickness is caused by the mind.

Jan: That word – love- is too much.

Jan: Abused. No one knows what it means.

Jan: For trust to come, you must have become a magician.

Ivo: You have nothing and receive eternal peace, joy, bonding experiences, emotions.

Jan: God can only experience through us, could be.

Ivo: Oh yes, trust. I have it rationally 100%.

Jan: I’m sitting on a 3000-year-old wall now.

Jan: God is also in the inter-subatomatic spaces.

Jan: Anyhow, let’s celebrate.

Jan: We no longer need the answers.

Ivo: Only in the moment when you’re not aware and go along with the drama. That’s when you need awareness. I know trust.

Jan: The questions are more relevant.

Ivo: Yes, He is Unity. The unity of all.

Jan: Once you’ve seen the quintessence, it’s over. So simple it becomes!

Philosophical Context: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and the Dreaming Eye

Søren Kierkegaard saw despair not as despair over earthly failure but over one’s self: the unwillingness to be what one truly is — a self grounded in the eternal. The dialogue above is full of this kind of spiritual unease and joy. It asks: what if we already are God, fragmented and remembering, over and over?

Nietzsche would applaud the laughter, the willingness to live again and again, the idea of infinite return reframed as infinite improvement. Rather than being a burden, repetition becomes a game of refinement. The will to joy, not just to power.

Here, mysticism wears the garb of memes and weed jokes. But make no mistake: this is serious unsanity. It resists dogma, dances with paradox, and opens a crack in the consensus reality to let light in.
