??????? Anyway, I think we are wasting time with @Gabriel Antonio he is just creating his reality because "direct experience" is not truth. Lmao!!! The only tool that anyone can have to understand reality, is direct experience.

Thanks @Serotoninluv !!! It's really interesting. Anyway there's not experiment that can replace direct experience. Experiment and science as Leo says are totally dumbfounded with the religion of materialism. :-)

Nice... you didn't see my other posts. But I can see from where you are coming from. Good luck with your "search".... You also didn't answer Leo's post... it seems that you still want to create your own reality where you need "proofs" from Carl Sagan to accept it... Lmao!

We investigate more and more with science and we go closer and closer to what the wise men of the antiquity had said about reality "A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality" https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613092/a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality/ Of course all these are just pointers... not truth, but... all the discoveries science is doing lately don't contradict the Upanishads hehehe...

We create our reality is not a myth. It's what happens.

Ok, I was doing this technique and I began to lose sensation or idea of location. It was very subtle, but it happened. I will try again tonight. :-)

Why you deleted my favorite thread? Lol

The cosmic joke

?

How many mind fucks we need to become enlightened? ?

I have a drawing with a guy being mindblown. I like that. To be mind fucked lol by reality ?

I think that's what Leo talks about. Why you ask?

Ok.... wait I think suffering can help, as a way to scape to the idea that we are suffering, If we had some religious or spiritual background. If there's not that background in your family or in yourself. (Or you weren't interested in spirituality) then you can stay in a loop, that can make you think the only scape is suicide... or can give you a chronic depression, or other symptoms, who knows? Is it better now?

I don't think so, he is only playing "hard to get"

This video I think can be of help, someone posted it in other section of the forum

For what he is saying in that interview I think he's in a good path. Who can we know how developed is him? I think he's pretty good, at least much more than most of the people.

@Joker_Theory Exactly

I think I know what is happening to you @Paul92 I know because it happened to me too, but I wasn't suicidal. I just got a big depression and some psychotic episodes. Same thing happened to me, I think. You are trying to find the solution to what you find out in non duality with the mind. The mind doesn't understand reality. That's why when we try to explain we use WORDS, that are only pointers, not the real thing. You want something from the "outside" who can explain you why reality is the way it is, why there's no purpose, why we are all one, etc. That's your problem, ILLUSION is just a word. It can't explain what reality is. It's a pointer. Illusion means that reality is not what we think it is. That there's something more besides this "real" world. But you cannot get attached to that meaning because it is not true. It will never explain completely reality. That's why Huang Po said "Don't underestimate the reality of the illusion". What does that mean? Is it a reality or is it a illusion? It's none of them! Because there's no words to explain what reality is. Don't search that path. It will bring destruction to you and to those that you love. Because even to say that the ego doesn't exist is also not completely true. You were saying that the ego has to be killed. A lot of master taught that, even Jesus said "deny yourself". That's one way to say it, there are other masters that said that you have to INTEGRATE the ego. You have to love your ego. Don't get attached to ideas, because the idea that you have about reality that is making you feel so bad is also wrong. It's an idea, and are you going to leave this life because of a wrong idea? Remember the experiences are real, everything that you experience is true, and while you are here in this planet/life/universe you are helping all that collective consciousness to grow and to learn from experience. Hope this helps, follow the middle path, as Buddha used to teach. Don't go to extremes. Blessings!

Maybe a video of Rupert Spira helps? https://youtu.be/7O937dHmNxE

In reality we all have our beliefs and stuff. Because what "IS" can't be named. We can put a name to it, but it will be always a representation an idea, a belief. I listened some time ago to a teacher in youtube, his name is Alon Geva. He said that there are thoughts that are closer to the source. Those thoughts can bring liberation, and there are thoughts that are not so close, those are the thoughts that make us not to recognize our true nature. But everything we can do is think about what is. We will never grasp what is with our intellect.
