To be honest, I didn't really see the relevance of his post as well even though I reacted positively to the content of his message. The both of you seem to understand something from my post that I don't see. Could you briefly reformulate what you understood from me that led you to this comment ? I feel that I've been misunderstood, but maybe there's something to learn here.

@Heart of Space Sorry, but who are you talking to, and why are you saying that ? I don't understand the relevance of your comment.

@Nahm I've studied the double slit experience in university. But better than university, if you're interested in this subject, I strongly recommend a book called "The Quantum Enigma". It let's you understand a lot of the core stuff on quantum mechanics, without using mathematics. The aim of the book is to give you enough information so that you can shift your paradigms about reality, without having to rely on famous scientists own interpretations to develop a metaphysic view on the subject. I tried to listen to Abraham Hicks, but I wasn't interested and didn't want to push for it. I have to admit I'm too lazy to do your list and googling exercises, but thanks for it. It reminded me that I want, one day, to write definitions in a notebook, as Leo advised in one of his last videos. @SOUL I don't really know if this belief blocks enlightenment, but it has been my experience that noticing this belief as a belief had some effect on my consciousness. And to really see it as a belief, it helped a lot to hear about another point of view that seems believable. In the past few days, it has made my experience smoother than usual. I'll have to investigate this more to conclude if it's really beneficial in the long run or not. @molosku Exactly ! Though I think it can be useful sometime to allow (for a short period of time) new beliefs that are opposite to the ones you're used to. It can help to counteract them. After that, my grasp on them lessens. I wouldn't say that I've totally dropped them (they're dropped intellectually, but not "intuitively"). On this subject, I was quite inspired by Leo's videos on paradigms and on default positions. If some of you like Rupert Spira video, he has a lot more on this subject (search for "Rupert Spira matter" on youtube).

In his live video about his enlightenemnt experience, Leo said that believing in a physical world is the reason people don't get enlightened. Somehow, this sentence had an effect on me for the past few days. I strongly believe that he's got something important here, and that we should stop and ponder about it. I think I resonated quite a bit with that since it's a topic I've been questionning a bit for the past few months. One of the times I wondered about this topic was coming from one of Loch Kelly's practices which ask you to become "spacious awareness". I had trouble doing that, as I viewed consciousness located in my head, which let me feel that I was fooling myself when I tried to "expand" this awareness. This made me think about space, and how it could totally be a mental construction. I remember thinking that everything could be happening in "one point" (or in no space at all), and that our sense of space and location is just an effect of how our minds are interpreting sensations. I then remembered that one year ago, I used to have experiences of "delocalisation" with sounds. I can remember hearing sounds and thinking to myself "this is as if the sound is hearing itself, directly where it happens". I knew that it was a step towards non duality, but still, my belief of a physical world made me think that a nondual consciousness could just be and alteration from the brain (and a good one). But at the end, my "logic" or "common sense" prevented me to fully accept what I was experiencing. But if I'm writing here, it's mostly to share a video of Rupert Spira that I found in a totally random way today, without even looking for this subject. He's having a conversation with a guy with a scientific background on this very topic, and he has a really interesting way of talking about it. I don't know how to integrate videos, so here is the link : An argument about materialism
