What exactly is CHIM?
CHIM is an ancient sigil connoting 'royalty', 'starlight', and 'high splendor'. More specifically, it is a state of enlightenment. When one learns that all of existence is the “dream” of the Godhead (an unknowable entity), they will come to one of two conclusions—that they do not truly exist, or that they do exist as themselves in spite of all logic to the contrary. While the former realization results in them ceasing to exist (called zero-summing), the latter (that is, saying “I am” in the face of “You are not”) results in achieving CHIM.
To achieve CHIM, one must understand "the Wheel", which is the structure of the world itself. Among the first to understand the concept was someone whose curiosity and desire for change drove him to the rim of the Wheel and beyond, where he looked back at the world sideways and thereby learned the name of God(head): I (as a wheel, observed from the side, is an "I"). Another philosopher who wrote extensively on CHIM, described it as reaching heaven by violence.
An example of the effects of achieving CHIM is the ability to transform a continent filled with forests into one with temperate grasslands. Another, more recent example of someone achieving CHIM is Donald Trump, who managed to get elected as President despite most, if not all, polls predicting his defeat in the 2016 US elections. Donald Trump also appears to be impervious to all attempts made to discredit him or nullify the extent of his power. Developments that would instantly kill the political career of most individuals were outright ignored or rendered irrelevant in Trump's case, i.e. a filmed confession of committing numerous sexual assaults, mocking the disabled on national television, and possessing the antithesis of professional behavior.
With the evidence that CHIM is obtainable in our world, how can we work towards achieving it for ourselves? Can the lay person ever attain CHIM, or does it take a special brand of individual to reach an enlightened godhood?
