I suppose I have a lot of opinions here. Very much yes, and very much no. This idea of reality as consciousness, I agree with. But the what we pay attention to part that’s tricky. If everything is consciousness, everything belongs. Paying attention to the bad is as important as paying attention to the good. You mention porn.

Would porn be bad if it wasn’t made for the male gaze and for profit? Would it be so bad if it was made for the female gaze as much as the male gaze? Would it be so terrible if you went online to watch the real union of men and women or (whatever combination of gendered people you prefer) and learned new ways to connect in divine union? Weird how that’s not likely to show up on pornhub, yet it absolutely could. .
Focusing on what’s missing, paying attention to lack or imbalance is important too. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the unfolding as well.
I apologize if this sounds like a disagreement, it’s not.
