Who is experiencing my life right now, me or God?

Question

I thought this up and will try to explain it.
If "Now" can be considered eternal, is the state of "now" always where I am currently in?
Then if I remember yesterday, I bring it into the now.
So the life I had up until yesterday was just a story I told myself today.


So am I currently existing as myself in my life experience or am I the re-enactment "god"(vague term for all known and unknown knowledge) is experiencing as we tell him the story?

I'd imagine there will be a point in my existence that I will join with other like minds and we will bring our knowledge and experience we have gathered back into the original circle or home.

But from various sources, I have concluded that we are able to freely exchange experience in spirit form via creative intentions.

So as we give our gifts of experience and knowledge to "god", then he/she would be in a state of experiencing our story.

Now, who is to say, which is experiencing now. The me before telling god, or god hearing and feeling the story I am telling him/her.

The implications would be that my life would have 2 separate showings, one for me during life, and one for god as mentioned above.
Now, since we can't have separation, are both happening at the same time?

But with time, we have an illusion of growth. I'm curious how we would measure time without the sun, moon, earth..and so on.
It would all be measured by growth. Bringing newfound knowledge into the now, as it was always there, but we or "I" had no experience of it being there.
So the infinite focus' I choose to project my awareness into bring time back to the infinite. When I am passionate in the things I do, time disappears. It's because "My heaven" only sees the things I very much desire. So we can eliminate time for pure experience.

Our potential could be that, if everyone had a same underlying dream or goal that encouraged them to be the people they choose to be, and be the greatest person they imagine they can be, Time would be ours to manipulate as we would have a major consensus regarding the nature of time and that truth would be constantly exposed to everyone.

Sounds like a fantasy.
But it's the future I see and would work towards more efficiently if I was constantly exposed to like minds that wish the same.

Sorry about the relation to god analogy but, what it means to me is very important in this scenario.

Our lives are the greatest story ever told and the story never ends, because we keep writing it.
(Honestly on a deeper level I believe this is the greatest song ever composed, seems more true to me)

I am the ocean, you are the raindrops. We are the same. You raindrops, because of your similar size and location, see yourselves as separate, as units, as individuals. This perception of your selves has been your only reality since you were born in the clouds. You have no other perspective of your selves. As you fall through your short lives here, you see the ocean far below. On a certain level you understand that it and you are one and the same. You envy its magnificence. The thought comes,” I am water too, am I not also part of this magnificence?” Then you realize that you are but an insignificant raindrop. You can only look at that distant ocean in awe. The ocean with its timeless knowledge sees you quite differently. It sees you for what you really are. Its most precious children, bravely returning home to share the experience that ocean as a whole could never have experienced. The ocean has nothing but love for you. Because it understands that it is you, and that you are it. It knows only truth. Until the moment you reunite you can only speculate. The ocean's love for you is unconditional. It holds no foolish thought of punishing you for not falling quite right. It only waits with great patience for your homecoming.

The tiny collisions you had with the other drops on the way down, at the time seemed so significant. Often you feared that if you mingled with them too long you might get to close and in the process even lose your identity. All this because you understood your true identity not! You are ocean, you always were ocean, you always will be ocean. How you currently perceive yourself raindrop, snow flake, puddle, stream, River, or lake matters not. This is all illusion, only perception. You are ocean, you are spirit. You and I are one; we are the All That Is!

lol sounds like youve been watching the never ending story too much...

"If "Now" can be considered eternal"

who said it could be?

"If "Now" can be considered eternal, is the state of "now" always where I am currently in?"

if you consider it eternal, then yes.

"Then if I remember yesterday, I bring it into the now.
So the life I had up until yesterday was just a story I told myself today."

if yesterday is just a story you told yourself today... then anything could be considered true. i mean i could tell myself i was flying with falkor (wink wink , lol), that wouldnt make it true.
there is a difference in time. now is now, yesterday WAS yesterday, and tomorrow is tomorrow.

"So am I currently existing as myself in my life experience or am I the re-enactment "god"(vague term for all known and unknown knowledge) is experiencing as we tell him the story?"

no i think you (we) are existing as ourselves... if we did it any other way, we wouldnt have free will.... and i dont think life (in all its forms) wouldnt exist if it wasnt for that.

"I'd imagine there will be a point in my existence that I will join with other like minds and we will bring our knowledge and experience we have gathered back into the original circle or home."

i agree with you there a 100%. in fact, ive never heard (read) it put so nicely before... its exactly what i believe too. i believe our whole and ONLY purpose in life is to learn.. nothing more. and one day.. when we pass.. we can do just what you said here.

"But from various sources, I have concluded that we are able to freely exchange experience in spirit form via creative intentions."

hmmm.. on this one i have to disagree... maybe in the afterlife.. but certainly not on earth.


"So as we give our gifts of experience and knowledge to "god", then he/she would be in a state of experiencing our story."

on this one, again i have to disagree. i dont think god really expects our story, as you say, i think god just can watch.. or experience it.
and actually what you said (OR typed) here does sound beautiful, even though i dont agree with it, lol. is kinda nice to read your ideas... ive never heard (OR read, lol) anyone's ideas like yours.

"Now, who is to say, which is experiencing now. The me before telling god, or god hearing and feeling the story I am telling him/her."

are you saying its possible to have TWO entities?
if you are, i dont think so.

"The implications would be that my life would have 2 separate showings, one for me during life, and one for god as mentioned above.
Now, since we can't have separation, are both happening at the same time? "

again no I dont think so.

"It would all be measured by growth. Bringing newfound knowledge into the now, as it was always there, but we or "I" had no experience of it being there."

what do you mean? you dont remember? you dont remember your life or what? i am a little confused on this part.....

"When I am passionate in the things I do, time disappears. It's because "My heaven" only sees the things I very much desire. So we can eliminate time for pure experience."

well everyone does that... its called losing track of time.

As we are all individual living beings and have our individuality, the Supreme Absolute Truth is also, in the ultimate issue, a person, and realization of the Personality of Godhead is realization of all of the transcendental features in His complete form. That Supreme Personality of Godhead is also, by His plenary portions, alive in the heart of every living entity. " You should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies, and to understand this body and its knower is called knowledge. That is My opinion."
The Lord says, "I am also the knower." This means that He is the superknower; the individual soul knows only his particular body, and within it dwells the owner of the body and the Supreme Lord, who knows both the body and the owner of the body. He says: "I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. "
Whatever we experience, He also experience at the same time.
The Supreme Lord is situated as Paramätmä in everyone's heart, and it is from Him that all activities are initiated. The living entity forgets everything of his past life, but he has to act according to the direction of the Supreme Lord, who is witness to all his work. Therefore he begins his work according to his past deeds. Required knowledge is supplied to him, and remembrance is given to him, and he forgets, also, about his past life. Thus, the Lord is not only all-pervading; He is also localized in every individual heart. He awards the different fruitive results.
The complete universe is a manifestation of varieties of entities, beginning from the atoms up to the gigantic universe itself, and all is under the control of the Supreme Lord in His form of käla, or eternal time. The controlling time has different dimensions in relation to particular physical embodiments. There is a time for atomic dissolution and a time for the universal dissolution. There is a time for the annihilation of the body of the human being, and there is a time for the annihilation of the universal body. You can understand the movements of eternal time, which is the controlling form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead when you are a self-realized person, then you can see everything by the power of mystic vision.
