    What I loved about "The Egg Theory" is how well it connects to fundamentals of Hinduism. I would be surprised if Weir had not studied those before coming up with the beauty that is The Egg.
    Cycle of Rebirth (Samsara)
    Non-Duality (Advaita)
    Unity of Soul and Universe (Atman and Brahman)
    the Illusion of Material World (Maya)
    one not knowing one's true nature (Avidya)
    one's Actions affecting one's "future" lives (Karma)
    the end goal of Liberation (Moksha)
    It all ties in wayy too beautifully..

    Well the allegory of the cave seems peculiar and thought-provoking, until you find out the allegory of the double cave.
    A man is in the dark. The only thing he sees are figures in front of him. They run, they show men riding horses: one of them holds a great spear, and attempts to strike a mighty deer. The deer stands, white as the snow, in all of his majesty. There's something about him, you can't really tell. Now he's wounded, and still succeeds at running off. The great man refrains the others, that were behind him: he says he wants to finish him by himself. Then spurs and chases the deer, up until a strange place. There's a lake, deep and cold, and a cave, big and dark. The great man plunges into it, and disappears.
    Several days after, he returns, but he was never the same after. A sheer sense of wonder pervaded him, you could see it in his eyes: stark, open, attentive. It was like it had seen the light for the first time, and after that, he was forever blinded.
    The group fooled him, made fun of him, the mighty warrior, who got belittled, humiliated by an hallucination. A dream, nothing more.
    The man in the dark began to wander in his mind: "What had the great man seen? What is so precious, so astonishing, to change a man so drastically?". And he wondered, and an idea stemmed in his brain, deeply rooted, to never leave. The other people began to make fun of him, and they said: "You are just like him! A man tricked by imagination".
    They didn't persuade him. He kept on his quest.
    And one day, the so beloved scene of the great man chasing the deer appeared again. But he wasn't the same man as before. The story was so charming, and was pervaded by desire, he couldn't stop, he couldn't rest: he pounced over the deer, as the great man did in the scene.
    Suddenly, the beast was gone. The other people, vanished. He was inside a great cave, he had never seen. There was a spear lying against the wall, on the right. Just aside of it, carved in the rock: "You will never return".
    Dubious, slightly worried, but at the same time fascinated, he proceeded. After a turn, a great light in front of him: it gave a sense of "otherness", a sense of being the home you never have imagined, nor remembered. Still it was strange, mysterious, and behind it the cave opened to reveal an impossible scenario: a crack in the cave, and above the high sky, open, without limits. A notch in the fabric of reality.
    He run through, ecstatic, filled with joy and wonder. And when he was on the other side, now he was the great man who chased the deer.
    He had always dreamed of that dark cave, that's why he made the request of being alone in his quest of the deer. And when he went into the cave, now he finds himself as the man who is fascinated by the story of the great man who chases the deer.
    His dream was dreaming about him. What was once real, now is an endless flow of possibilities.
    That's why he's blind: his connection to reality is lost, forever, bc he has seen too much. He has seen the phantasmatic nature of the story on the wall.
    Well, jokes on you, I made this right on the spot.

      @@otakulife9157 Well, it's a story I invented to try to amend what I find faulty in the platonic mith of the cave. I made the realm of "dreams", "illusions", collapse with the one we often regard as "real", in order to challenge the idea there is some outside world of pure bliss awaiting us.
      See, my conception is that everything is on the same ontological plane. Take the idea of "samsara": I would tell there is nothing beyond samsara, and that reaching Nirvana doesn't mean getting acces to a new dimension, but to understand the eternity of samsara, reaching enlightenment in the process. It's only a matter of seeing the world with new eyes, not to trascend into something that doesn't exist. This idea of the "other world" keeps us trapped in never ending cycles of self mortifyng activity to reach the impossible: it transforms the world we know in the samsara, while it isn't necessary.
      The most radical thing a human can do is to accept his mortal condition of transient being: to know himself, to reap the veil that conceals not a hidden beyond, but that there is nothing to conceal. That's very traumatizing. And accepting that is a sign of maturity.

      Labelling it as "the world of ideas", of "pure forms", doesn't solve the issue of expliciting how that pureness gets corrupted into the material reality.

      @everyexplanation my first love was a toxic relationship that lasted 3 years. I left her when we had a kid and she wouldn't stop fighting in front of her. Coming from a broken home I decided I would dedicate the next few years to working on myself in every way I could so when I meet the one I'm meant to be with I don't screw it up. And also so I would KNOW who that person is. My mindset was just that for a long time. I'll keep doing better so one day I will find better. I thought I did when I met her. Then she left me for her ex. It killed my delusion that I would KNOW who the right person is. I thought for sure if I worked on myself enough then it wouldn't go that way. But it did anyway. I didn't wanna waste time and I didn't wanna deal with another heartbreak. I did everything I could to avoid it. But it happened anyway. It broke me for quite a while. I'm still putting the pieces back together but I'm doing much better now. Even better than before I met her I think. I've accepted that that's just life. Every great reward has great risk.
