I am very contented with my life, but sometimes I am so eager to find out what happens when you die (or doesn't happen) that I really look forward to dying. There really are only four options. 1. Cease to exist - if this is the case there is nothing to worry about because you won't be there 2. Reincarnation - either into human form or some other kind of life form (also once again nothing to worry about because you won't remember anything I assume 3. Heaven/Other existence/Sphere/Etc - by far the most out there and intriguing option. If this is the case I had better find out the answers to all my questions. 4. Wake up and find this is all a dream/advanced virtual reality kind of thing. In honestly though I have no idea, but the concept of being god in an interesting one.

[@transcendwithiboga]

+Sonja Smith 5 : Something we can't even conceive.. YET

[@TM245]

Being a God is fun for a while, then it becomes work like all things in life do. Death is a transition phase like all books say. If you are good at animating without a body, then you can likely find your way into a new life by being born again into a body. If you are good at consciousness space traveling, then you may find yourself on another planet in a different humanoid species's body again by being born again into a body. If you have none of these skills, your choices become limited by your ability to move your own consciousness around. Then, after you die you can wait for the light beam to come from the sky and tractor you into a holographic debriefing room, like all books mention, where they show you your last life and prep you for the next one. Or you somehow are unfamiliar with the light and or don't like the light, then the soul will be left to wander the Earth for many years until a living human soul in a body calls forth that essence and if willing you'll be pulled yet again into another body. The Key here is knowing the Skill of Manifesting. Using one's mind and mental imagery to build constructs in order to figure out how source energy works and how to flow into different energy forms. Without this knowledge Humans will have to continue to rely on the light beam tractor device from the sky that takes you to the debriefing room.

[@MaksProger]

Not only 4 options. Some other options that come in mind: 5. Find yourself on the last SAVE point [would not apply to everyone] 6. Get what you believe will be the afterlife

Dude, i guess everyone have that theory when they were little, even me, but we weren't able to express that, maybe because of different reasons, but doesn't it mean something? Almost everyone has thought about that, like, it must be the truth, the reality, or even that we are almost "mature" so we now have an idea.

Be good to yourself. Be kind, tolerant, accepting. Forgive yourself. Try harder to learn to love yourself. You've spent most of your life (most of all of them) watching, waiting, searching for something or someone else to 'save' you, to give you the answers, but hope, and the answers, are like everything that you've looked for; You always find them in the last place you look. Maybe try looking in the mirror. All that time you've been waiting. Consider how long the universe has been waiting for you. You were born perfect, with all the capacity for good, and all the potential to do good, but fear and doubt from outside influences stifled them and made you forget. This is just a friendly reminder, that they're still a part of you, and have been all along. All this world needs right now, All its EVER needed, And yes, now more than ever, Is for you To just Be You. Just a little more. Thank you for writing this.

[@HyperNova137]

Nearly a decade ago, I contacted the author of this story (Andy Weir, who also wrote THE MARTIAN, now a Matt Damon movie) about the curious similarities to my EGGSISTENTIALISM story that I wrote two years earlier... He apparently misinterpreted my fascination as a challenge, and tried to assert that he had published the story before I had made my video about it... I had to burst his balloon by informing him that I wrote the story in a blog several years before I had gotten around to making the video, to which he replied that the concept of the Cosmic Egg is one of the oldest mythological themes there is, so neither of us can really claim to have originated it completely. Fair enough... I'm not sure what inspired his own story, but mine was an attempt to piece my Humpty Dumpty self back together after my first Dark Night of the Soul -- a bizarre spiritual initiation brought about by some intense Qigong meditations, which culminated in so many synchronicities that I thought I was going insane: I began feeling what people were going to say before they said it, every thought I had seemed to be manifesting in front of me within seconds, which forced me to consider the possibility of solipsism: What if the whole world is just my dream, and I'm the only "real" consciousness here? That question haunted me for years, until one evening I was overcome with a powerful urge to start writing down all these symbols and themes that begin popping into my head, which turned into a story about a squirrel (based on a drawing I just happened to find in my notebook while I was writing this all down) who eats a mushroom and starts tripping balls right as he gets eaten by a snake... He goes on a psychedelic journey, meeting all these famous religious and spiritual figures, until he finally puts all of their words together, like a jigsaw puzzle, and concludes that he himself is God, Jesus, Buddha, Satan -- literally every figure that ever existed, were all his own projections, and upon realizing this, he had the power to create the world however he wished. That gift created a problem though: He soon realized that none of his creations were "real" in the sense that he was; Since part of him was animating them, there could be no surprises, no thrills, no genuine experience of love or loss or any other emotion that had previously made life worth living. He nearly goes mad trying to solve this problem, until he practically begins praying for help, and then suddenly he hears a still, small voice saying: "Omelet you in on a little secret! The only way out is within..." At first he was confused, but after contemplating it for a while he comes up with an idea: He will split himself into two separate beings -- one will be an ego (eggo?) self, and the other larger portion off is personality will remain outside the "shell" of his awareness, functioning like a god or oversoul, creating experiences without the knowledge of the little ego self. Everything goes white, then black, and suddenly he re-emerges back into his old world -- and I haven't quite worked out all the minor details of the story to my satisfaction, but that's the general gist of it. A few people who read my original were even more blown away by it than they were by this one, but there were a few parts that I never really ironed out well enough to push it out into the public and make it more popular... I may remedy that soon, tho I already have a million other things on my plate.

Be to others as you would have them be toward you. though i don't believe that we are all the same soul experiencing zillions of lives on the same planet, i believe the lesson here is accurate, to treat everyone as if it were you, and to care about others' feelings very much. Have an idea of what their perception is like. beautiful short film and an excellent message. i think a soul is only in this kind of world a number of times, and many of us only once. there are so many other kinds of worlds. and the spirit dimensions is the true home of self. My understanding is that humans/ earth is a kind of correction/ learning center for different degrees/ purposes for souls needing refinement in some way. the chaoticness of this kind of world tells us how our actions and attitude is very important. i hope each soul would never suffer. i don't understand all the suffering, injustice, violence, the confusion of religions, the wars, etc... It is a level of chaos here

? the golden rule is universal, not just Jesus. if someone ignores conscience they tend to be ruled by selfish want (leading to more darkness of places like earth?, or you can tune-in to the higher intuition and pass the subtle tests within a day. i think we were much happier before incarnating in a human, this is what life is like 'outside' of God.

[@DavidTitus_]

The idea that we are the same is not so far out when you look at what we all really are from the inside, awareness.

[@TheRadrussian1]

no other explanation other than we are all the same consciousness experiencing itself subjectively really makes sense when you think about it.

[@aneeshmenon4259]

Who knows maybe we are all just roots of the same tree, and what we perceive as 'seperation' is merely an illusion caused by the limitations of our 5 senses....

[@Preliminimal]

TheRadrussian1 that would be really bad nightmare, i hope no-one has to live on earth more than 10 life experiences here, i think souls learn and experience better in logical, less-chaotic, happier kinds of worlds. i see humanity and earth (and worlds like this in the galaxies), as a kind of sub-reality, i don't know. i don't like all the suffering

This is the best of the three versions I have viewed today, with the best acting (but note you spelled Andy Weir's name incorrectly in the final titles).

[@claudiaflores9439]

2023 I still come and watch this video when I need to humble myself . Thank you sir!

[@cre8ivejg1]

Interesting really... For many years I thought GOD, our Creator, was just one of many and our paths lead to the experience of being one ourselves. Loved this video!

[@finelinemagazine]

This moved me more than any video i have ever seen and it made my husband cry too. Thank means something.

[@metedude3]

beautiful!! many thanks :) PEACE AND LOVE to all

[@salimanabi5252]

I really like this theory and I enjoyed learning more and more about it but I still don't understand why it's called the egg theory? because in the end of Andy Wier's story he says that the whole point of the universes that it's an egg but I don't get the meaning behind that, even though I understood the meaning behind the story.what does the egg represent?

[@RamirArcega24]

In order for it to hatch, you need to incubate it with warmth(love,compassion,empathy etc.)

[@Mashen_Taterz]

I love this more than i can explain. This god is beautiful!

KZbin is showing a lot of Alan Watts lectures as related videos to this video. I'm not surprised. Awesome story!

Kurzgesagt's version is better...

[@ccodee]

This was created 7 years ago, Kurzgesagt's version is created 1 day ago, and in the description of Kurzgesagt's version it says that Kurzgesagt is using the story in this video. You have a big brain :)

I like the version I have in my head better starring Morgan Freeman as god, better acting, and a more beautiful background.

what is the music of last scene

[@sentientglitch]

@@11qwe3 I’m pretty sure it’s called emotion. And I found the song using Shazam.

@@sentientglitch thanks but i couldnt found how can i search

[@sentientglitch]

@@11qwe3 I’m pretty sure the first one I said was wrong because I read it in Shazam and it showed a different song. The song I was talking about is called emotion by Vincent Bernay The song The new song that I got is called comptien d’un autre été.

I love this version of Andy Weir's short story

[@jaileea2008]

My mind is blown

[@GaryDenton]

This is adapted from the story The Egg by new writer and best selling novelist Andy Weir. It can also be considered an ultra-condensed version of 'One' by Richard Bach. There are other writers with similar philosophy expressed in their fiction.

[@amalekita5009]

the story is great but the animation of kurzgesagt makes it so much better

[@incognitocanguy]

Beautifully Made :) Thank you :)

[@petergervai4913]

Strong acting on Jon's part. For God... not so much. She haven't quite cared about it, very much unlike in the original story. And I haven't understand half of what she said. But overall it was okay, well done.

[@olsaintlit7180]

Imagine explaining this to a soul over a billion times, I'd say that she had too much emotion.

[@krlosbago1]

If you are watching somebody else's videos are you trying to remember something?

[@inkboy12345]

The song at the end sounds familiar? What is it?

[@jonjonsontv]

I wrote all the soundtrack myself, but I was definitely subconsciously inspired by songs i know. The chord progression at the end is very similar to Mad World (kzbin.info/www/bejne/noicZHaMa9JggLc), just with a faster, more upbeat arpeggio. Maybe that's the song you were thinking about. Or maybe it's something else entirely, let me know if you find out!

[@inkboy12345]

Jon Jonson AHH I thought so!, Wow dude, that was a really good composition!

[@jonjonsontv]

thank you! if you ever need a soundtrack hit me up ;)

[@KuldeepDaftary]

it sounds familiar cause you composed it mate

[@transcendwithiboga]

+Kuldeep Daftary I also feel the likes of comptine d'une nuit d'été, Yann Tieson, and some ludovico einaudoi !

[@bigred8438]

Great.....just what I needed, some reason just to be completely self centred.

[@JonPeerless]

All religions are wrong. In their own way. ;-) When I'm a cyborg avatar with memories of when I was a human, I will still be saying: "Things are way weirder than any of us can EVER imagine." But this author is great. Or, at least, I'm loving The Martian audiobook right now. Best example of a well-read audiobook I've found yet.

[@GregNixon]

I just listened to the Egg by Andy Weir read by R.C. Bray. Had to KZbin it, and this is the first adaptation I clicked.
