The Egg - adaptation of Andy Weir's viral short story

Bullshit story this is my greatist fear

Be nice and have fun. Why can't we just do that.

Andy Weir really nailed an extending example of the concept of solipsism here

And there I am ❤

What a load of bunkum!

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time... a man dreamed he was awake
How much do things cost? How much can I make?
Who are all my friends? Where do my foes live?
With whom should I fight? To whom should I give?
And with every question, another story rose
The man was rather frantic and always on his toes
Fighting every dragon, saving Damsels in distress
Hoping just around the corner he would find some much-needed rest
But then he noticed patterns, a tit for every tat
A cat for every mouse, a dog for every cat
Every time he pushed he received another shove
Every move he made seemed to hit him like a glove
The people all around him seemed to mirror every move
until the man began to notice what he really came to prove
He thought that he knew better how to build a world it seems
And left a loving Father to construct a world of weird dreams
He finally decided while dining at the trough
his petty dreams of vanity had exacted to great a cost
His friends were not his friends, his foes all knocked him down
He tried with all his might but never found his crown
He decided to go home if he could ever find his way
cleaning up the messes he had made along the way
He saw his Father at a distance with a smile upon his face
as the gap was closing in the final lap of his big race
He was sorry and he was saddened and wished to make things right
He would even sacrifice himself in his own loving Father's sight
But the Father sat there smiling with his hand on his son's head
And a Crown was on the nightstand right beside the dear son's bed.
And then the Father whispered: "Hear the Story that I tell
Listen very closely and be freed from your own jail
Once upon a time... a man dreamed he was awake
and forgot that he was dreaming, that was his first mistake!
And in this Grand Illusion, you fight all that you fear
thinking I am gone while I am always very near
There are no friends or foes or Dragons to be slain
I need not your defence of my wisdom or my Name
A Gnostic

To our, your, my collective combined consciousness I just want to say…

“Hello There!”

As a huge fan of The Egg short story, your video is a neat adaptation of it. I will say however, that there were too many creative liberties taken with dialogue which obfuscated the brilliant telling of the original story. I felt like someone watching this would understand the concept to some extent, but if they were to read the story or watch The Egg- A short story on Kurzgesagt's channel, this is only 40% of what the story was. Much of the profound dialogue of helping the reader/viewer of this story understand the advanced and very interesting concept the story provides. All in all enjoyable and you get a like from me!

I had this realization on a DMT breakthrough

oh I uderstand. We must help everion to die for the speedrun

When you realize and come to the understanding that you are just this, but more so, alone, forever to imagine that what you want and to experience the same thing, because it’s you who are the power that be, the being that goes on endlessly, you are infinity playing a game on itself

Wait if this is actually the case then that means I'm Hitler, also the Jews I murdered and Stalin?

The best part about this version is there's nothing to mature into either. No journey, nor destination, but the self itself. Here, even God is just another aspect of you. Non-duality in a nutshell.

then why do identical twins exist? triplets? what if we are all siblings and that’s why we refer to eachother we brother and sister :)

Why does the actor playing Andy remind me of Matt Smith?

Watch this again and again over the years, sharing with anyone who will do it justice… such a beauty thing.

" be nice and have fun"

"4th century Chinese peasant girl"

Couple years later: How did I end up here again?
Don't worry about, you're not the only one; many others like you have had their lives ripped away by the War of the Eight Princes and the barbarian invasions of the Jin dynasty.

Still, it's somewhat than the original story, which had you born in as a Chinese peasant girl in 540 CE. Hope you were once sick before, b/c the Plague of Justinian is going to slap its sickening hand across the world.

During LSD trip I turned on the tele and watched 2 humans talk.

I noticed how I was them, and it was curious.

When I took shrooms I remember being able to talk to god, and god was in my subconscious and he was saying that I’m everyone and everyone is me and that I’ll live every life. And that was before I’ve seen this video. But god was answering my questions as if it were someone else and this theory feels so real to me. I think it’s a bit different but the same at it’s core.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself because you are your neighbor. It is illusion that makes you think that your neighbor is someone other than yourself." ― Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

So the whole universe,’ you said, ‘it’s just…’
‘An egg.’ I answered. ‘Now it’s time for you to move on to your next life.'”

So there is no free will in this story

Loved it!

Does anyone know if there's an IMDb entry for this?

Superb acting.

Jesus Christ Dint Die for your sins he died because he was nailed to cross and stabbed by a spear LMAO HAD ME DYING XD

Satans, from the Jinn entity, deceived some ignorant of such entity existence, to believe that they are gods and humans are able to ascend to be gods as well

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (1) ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ (2) لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ (3) وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُ ۥ ڪُفُوًا أَحَدٌ (4)


In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Say: He is Allah the One and Only [Divine Almighty Creator “GOD”]; (1) Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; (2) He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; (3) And there is none like unto Him. (4)

Reincarnation is an extremely dangerous belief for the following reasons:
1- An easy way out to whom has been beaten by the challenges of life, thus entertaining suicide
2- Encourages any one to be a criminal who will not hesitate to commit the most vicious crimes, even if it lead to his death; “so what if I get killed, I will reincarnate”
Do not be so gullible and allow yourself to be deceived by such devilish/wicked, false and illogical nonsense.

Incredible Acting!

This is so much better than Scientology

be nice... and have funny, that sorted, what's next?...

So God gives His child soul about to become a 4th Century Chinese peasant girl the instruction, "Be nice and have fun."
I wonder what instruction this God gave His child soul about to become Hitler?

Hes an archon..this is gnosticism

Reincarnation is a hard stretch for me just because why am I only present in this life and aware that I'm alive?
Deja Vu does occur alot and that always makes me wonder tho.

This short story seems almost tailor made to be a student film for every acting class. Its just two people talking about some super heavy stuff.
