Unity flattens all ontology, yeah. Ultimately everything is the same. Everything is Being/Consciousness/God. Idealists aren't conscious of God. They have no idea what is really going on. It's just conceptual for them. Consciousness and Maya are not two separate things. Maya is made out of Truth. I am not talking about concepts when I talk about Awakening. I am talking about different kinds and degrees of higher Consciousness. There is way more higher Consciousness than your two categories. Categories are themselves hallucinations. You like to interpret that I am talking about concepts because that doesn't threaten your view of this domain. You are still holding onto that Buddhist view of all this. Also, concept is not anti-Awakening. You can have Awaked Consciousness and understand it deeper with concepts. Concepts are not an enemy per se. You are using concepts regardless to do sense-making. Buddhism is also concepts. Ralston is also concepts. Any teaching uses concepts.

I mean, not on your first experiences of God.

That's not really insanity, that's trans-human-sanity. You are going beyond human sanity, which is just an island in the Ocean of Consciousness.

That problem exists for any worldview. I don't know what you are saying.

No one can tell you which of your goals will succeed or fail. You have to prove that yourself through effort.

I don't know.

Intro To Serious Philosphy

This is not something to theorize about. You must go and experience the leading edge of God-Consciousness and push it to imagine a higher level of God than the one you presently know.

@Xonas Pitfall I dare you to imagine that there are other Gods just like you. You guys still aren't getting it: GOD is only limited by your imagination. Where you stop is where GOD will stop.

It is contradictory if you assume it's false. But I dare you to imagine that it's true.

It is exactly an example of what I said.

Think of it like this: Consciousness has to imagine how Woke it can be. If it can't imagine a new level of Wokeness, it can't reach it. If you tell yourself, "Buddhist enlightenment is all there is to consciousness", then that becomes your reality. Because you aren't willing to imagine anything more. So my advice is: be ambitious with your imagination, rather than playing humble.

Awakening being multiplistic is not a bug, its a feature. Yes, you can literally invent new kinds of Awakenings. Your own imagination is the limit. If you imagine there are only two kinds of Awakening, that will become your reality.

No, because what's usually grasped is parts of a larger thing. You can grasp many parts of math without grasping all of it. Grasping all of God at once is just not going to happen. That's a fantasy.

The reason it happens in degrees and facets and stages is because God is too much for a human mind to grasp all at once. Can you grasp all of math at once? No.

Omnipotence is just the ability to dream/hallucinate without limits. When you dream at night, that is a glimpse Omnipotence.

I don't think it is any harder. That's just a function of your unique self. Why would you expect all insights to be equally accessible to all people? Obviously some insights come more easily to some personalities vs others, just as math comes easy to some but hard to others.

I do not have that.

The only Pokemon I played was Red. Those were the good ol days.

Opening this up cause we'll be seeing a lot of these corrupt MAGA perverts crawling out of the shadows over the next 4 years and it's good to have a catalog of all them and their crimes in one place. https://apnews.com/article/matt-gaetz-congress-ethics-report-538cb5387bf95925245bf87fa6b1adcb Post all examples of MAGA corruption here.

Quine talked about it in his paper.

Good. But yes, focus on quality over quantity. Make it your goal to sustain at least 1 set for 60 minutes. Stop self-ejecting from sets. Stay until they tell you to leave.

A hive of scum and villainy?

As a historical example: in order to make sense of quantum mechanics, some scientists proposed doing away with the law of excluded middle. It works for common phenomena, but fails for uncommon phenomena where Unity plays a role.
