Of course reality as a whole can be thought of as one system, but it's also made up of an infinite number of smaller sub-systems. You can compare different sub-systems to find commonalities which helps you understand them.

There is no difference between something and nothing. That difference is relative.

Ego is God imagining it is not God but a human. God is free to imagine itself to be anything: a rock, a tree, a coffee table, a kangaroo, a man, a woman, an alien, or... it can be aware that it is God. It's like when you play a video game so hard you forget you are a human. Well, God is playing your life so hard right now that it forgot it is God. As soon as you remember, that will be Awakening.

It is possible, but not realistic. And your level of realization, even if it does happen, will be very low.

@Joker_Theory Perceptions don't have to change. You just realize that your body is already God. God is exactly what you see now, minus the ego. A change in your state of consciousness is required. This is accomplished with spiritual practices like self-inquiry, meditation, psychedelics, yoga, etc. The practices must be done rigorously.

No It is realizing that you are God dreaming up reality.

@diamondpenguin Life is God dreaming.

Yes You ARE it.

Be careful spreading these conspiracy theories. Now is not the time for rumor-mongering.

A thing cannot exist unless it is conceived by and held within Consciousness. As you imagine a dragon, God imagines a human. Calling it imagary tells you that the world is a mental construction.

Be careful over-glorifying stage Purple tribal people. They are still ignorant savages and their way of life does not scale.

Clsoed for low quality.

Stop with this 5g shit. Corona virus is real.

@Naviy There's not much point self-inquiring about strange loops. It's just a neat concept which you can appreciate if you do psychedelics. Reality isn't really a strange loop, it is Infinity. But when you try to think causually about Infinity you will run into strange loops. Strange loops are the result of a finite mind trying to grasp Infinity.

This is delusional. It takes a massive ego to think you know better the course of mankind than society. Society is like a tree. It just grows. And now you want to come and cut it down. It is growing as it should.

The brain IS consciousness. The only place you'll find a brain is inside your consciousness. Nowhere else.

@kindayellow Build a life for yourself. Enjoy the opportunities that life offers.

@Joel3102 Bahahahahaha!!! Sexual purity?? Bahahahahahaha... Whatever happened to valuing experience?

Haha! Nice!

Same thing that makes anyone neurotic and insecure: lack of love.

Enlightenment does not restrict your actions. That's a whole nother matter. It will depend on the person. Just treat these as seperate issues.

I don't see why not.

Actually, ego IS the sense of self, and it is a state of consciousness. Perceptions alone do not generate a sense of self. People who are conscious of no-self (no-ego) still have experiences and perceptions. Just no human self tying it all together.

I would never visit one if not for the pickup.

Time to pack your bottle and butterfly net and head to India
