A. Jim Carey

 Here’s a standout YouTube tag-length quote in a bullet gist form, inspired by Jim Carrey’s deeper reflections as captured in his non-dual, perspective-shifting remark:


  • “I used to be a guy experiencing the world… now I feel like the world—and the universe—experiencing a guy.”
    This quote captures the essence of transcending the ego’s boundary.  



Would you like variants in different tones—like poetic, scientific, or introspective—for different uses?

A

Yes — Jim Carrey has expressed views that strongly resonate with non-dualism (the philosophical stance that the separate “self” or ego is an illusion, and reality is one interconnected whole).


Here’s why:





🧘 Evidence from his interviews & talks



  • In red carpet and YouTube interviews (notably with E! News and others), Carrey said things like:
    • “There is no me. There are just things happening.”
    • “We don’t matter… we don’t exist, really. It’s not our world.”

  • He often frames himself not as “Jim Carrey the person,” but as a character or construct being played.






🌿 Philosophical overlap



  • Non-dualism (Advaita / Buddhism / Mystical Christianity / Taoism): teaches that the ego-self is not ultimately real; reality is one indivisible consciousness.
  • Carrey’s reflections mirror this:
    • Ego = illusion (he laughs at “Jim Carrey” as a role).
    • Consciousness = primary (he speaks of awareness as the true ground).






⚡ Why it sounds confusing or “out there”



  • He expresses these insights in spontaneous, sometimes joking ways—so people interpret them as eccentric.
  • But stripped of humor, his words echo non-dual philosophy quite closely.





✅ So: Jim Carrey isn’t formally a philosopher of non-dualism, but his public reflections clearly align with non-dual thought.




Do you want me to pull together a set of his most non-dual quotes (short bullets) so you can see the pattern more clearly?
