Question
Hello! Here is a scenario, a supposition: if one day someone woke up in a world completely different from the “normal” world and recognized neither objects nor forms, would that person instinctively categorize and become attached again as they used to in their old “normal world,” for example? But if, in addition to waking up in this new world, the person woke with no recollection or memory of the “old world,” or better yet woke “without an ego,” would they naturally begin generating “that ego” again? … In other words, the “ego” that puts us to sleep and makes us dream this life… is it something generated in people over time? Programming inherent to human beings, something “activated” at birth?
… Are we born awake, gradually fall asleep, and then can awaken?
… And what if it is not generated?
… Has a buddha ever been born?… Or is a buddha not born?

Exactly. I like your scenario very much. As gods, we need spatial and temporal reference points to construct scenarios that represent new experiences for us, and therefore enrichment and evolution. We must live a scenario through to the end so that, strengthened by this new experience, we can develop a new, more evolved one. The challenge is never to forget we are the creator.
