You are right. Ultimatly there is no reason for existence. Because reason is already part of existence (the existence of the reason). Prior to that there ist nothing that could cause existence. The chain of reasoning ends with the question „why is there existence“

Then you dont truly know yourself to be god. Stop telling yourself you would know what you are. Otherwise you wont overcome the bad feeling

You (God) are not afraid of knowing yourself! The afraidness is just an obsticle in the prosess. It arises not because God wants to know itself but because that what you have mistaken yourself to be must accept that it is not what you are.

"If God is selfless then how does it decide what to create?" God doesn't decide. God simply creates every possible thing. God holds within its nature the power to become every form that can be imagined.

No I didn't say that nothingness is the same as something. Things can only be known from a perspective. The infinite only knows the infinite. The finite can only be known by the finite.

There is no step because it's the same. Perspective turns nothingness into some thingness.

So in imagination it is there?! Isn't it then an illusion it would be helpful to see through?

That should not satisfy you. Contemplate what you are afraid of right in the moment when you face this experience. If it turns out to be fear of loosing the body or dying, find a way of showing yourself that there is no need to fear that. For example, every night you go to sleep, you are not fearful. Even though you do loose your body and kinda die. But you always get your life and body back, after you wake up.

Ego death is a realization. Conciousness is not

That's it Trust is your tool. Seems it's not strong enough. What's limiting its strength?

Make him questioning his idea of what he is. Tell him to be very precise about that and to come up with an answer he is very satisfied with. Also what can be very enjoyable to elaborate: Make him lay down his hand flat on the table. Then tell him to lift his index finger. Then you ask him: how'd you do that? He will come up with something like "I thought to do it, and then I did it" Ask him "did you really think about it first? Why is it then, that you can have the thought (I want to lift my finger) without actually lifting it?" You may ask at some point "isn't it, that I lifted your finger by telling you to do so?" "But then what made me asking you to lift your finger?" (maybe it is that what you are reading right now?!) You should end up with an interesting discussion about free will and how reality works. Just make him question these things, he's never questioning.

All there is, is conciousness. Therfore nothing is preventing conciousness from knowing itself. Only the mind may think otherwise. I discussed the "level of conciousness" topic with Leo in another thread, have a look at that. There it is

When there is only source it is clear, that this was and is always the case. We might say that the process of understanding and aligning to that fact may be called enlightenment. Before mind knows it's source, yes you might say that there is some kind of veil. But after the mind collapsed into source it realises that there really never was a veil. There was always only conciousness knowing itself

No. Duality is the illusion that there would be subjects and objects. (a knower and something that's known) In reality (non-duality) that's not the case. There is just knowing. Things appear in the knowing, made out of nothing but the knowing.

Stop using any words for it. Be open for whatever it turns out to be. Reality is always known. Enlightenment is not an experience. When the mind collapses, dissolves, opens to its source. You might call this enlightenment. You cannot give enlightenment nor have it. The real you alway were and will be enlightened, since the enlightened being of conciousness is all there is. Counsciousness is experiencing itself through the tunnel of the mind and by that it is limiting its experience.

Knowing is absolute reality. But without something finite that's known. Knowledge about something is always a finite concept and not necessary to know KNOWING.

KNOWLEDGE is unnecessary

Thought does not create reality. It only gives meaning to what is obsorved. Reality (better existence) is prior to thought. Thought appears in existence. There is no thinker. "there is a thinker" is a thought. Why would there not be a perceiver without thought? When you for a moment don't think, are you not present? Counsciousness is the source of everything. It is all there is. Because it is all there is, there is no reason for it. All reasoning appears in it. Counsciousness never came into existence. It was never created. It is the creator of every finite thing (like a reason)

There are good sources. Look for shinzen young teachings. YouTube for example

Isn't it already fulfilled? Don't you have an experience that only you have and no other point of view has the same experience? Isn't your experience unique and special?

@RedLine When the observer becomes the sensation you should realise that there is nothing to rhe whole experience, other then the knowing of this experience. There is only one thing - this experience. Look at it very clearly! You never observe an observer. There is none! The experience takes place in the empty space of knowing. It might seem to be a infinite loop because of its oneness and completeness

@RedLine How can you be that? Aren't you that what observes it? If you really believe that you are that sensation, then truly be it. Accept it as your being and be nothing else. As you do so, you will see the sensation vanish and recognize it to be temporary. But you are not temporary

The fact that you know about "enlightenment" shows that you have had a teacher already. Every new thing you learned, came from a teacher. That teacher may be life itself. In the end you get enlightened through experiences. Therefore there must not be a person as a teacher.

Infinity is everything + nothing

When you look closely you'll see that thought comes out of nothingness and dissolves into nothingness. Thought only exists for the concious moment in which you experience it. Something can not happen to you unconsciously, because then it wouldn't happen. What would the intention for a thought be but another thought? The intention of all thoughts is to experience thinking
