A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Damn, was really hoping there was some deeper stuff I was missing. So you're a subscriber to Egg Theory then?

It’s not called the Egg Theory. Its called Advaita Vedanta and it’s the oldest religion/metaphysics we have written records for.

And it can indeed get pretty deep. You should read Shankara‘s commentaries on the Vedas.

It's called that from that little story about god talking to a recently deceased dude with the end result being that this universe is an egg?

Awesome. I guess I'm an egg theory subscriber.
