  1. First I'm going to talk about why time is an illusion. It's obviously just a tool for measuring the day but I am going to provide an actual explanation. And it will save some people from wasting their time on thinking that time travel is a thing. You can think of reality similar to an infinite algorithm of code (assuming that reality is never going to end.) Each line of code represents all of the events that occurred within a particular moment. Thinking of "time passing by" is an illusion. It's more like events are occurring. I'm assuming that you guys know what coding is since I'm too lazy to provide another example. Why do events occur? Well, picture an ice cube falling onto your kitchen ground. The force of gravity + the weight and mass of the ice cube are the main factors of what causes it to fall. You can not go back into time and undo that event since it already happened and that's not how reality works and because time is just a tool. Time has nothing to do with reality. If you were to go back in time then you would have to undo every single event that happened throughout all of reality. Yeah, that's not going to happen. There are infinite possibilities for what can happen in the future. All of reality is information. This information is just possibilities. It's not physical or real, just a collection of possibilities. Even energy is information. This is also something that you can research. I didn't come up with it myself. I don't know if I was listening correctly but I heard Leo say in his "Radical implications of oneness" video that we will be everyone one day and experience their lives. I'm sorry if I was listening properly but if I was then I'm afraid that that's not going to happen because of the information I provided above. Reality would have to repeat constantly and do the same exact things over again, only this time we'd be a different person. Again, reality is information, an infinite set of possibilities. If reality restarted then it would be completely different.
  2. So apparently me telling what I actually feel from the type of life that I have = me being a troll + me getting a warning sign. Don't even know why I still come to this forum. I also answered your question already.
  3. Life does not bend to human concepts of fairness. I wouldn't say it is infinite suffering. The world will end.
  4. None of this has evidence. I'm a bit of a skeptic so it's hard to convince me of certain things. I care for science far more than spirituality since science takes the best guess with the existing evidence. Spirituality makes a lot of broad statements with nothing to back it up. Saying that "you aren't awake" or "you are all creatures" or "all objects are infinite" has absolutely no evidence to back up. I read that "What Enlightenment isn't" and most of them are beliefs as well. And some of them aren't real. Like "emotional mastery". You can't master your emotions.
  5. I just thought of something. If we are everyone including things that aren't human then aren't we all mass serial killers? Whenever you push your teeth or take a shower you're killing millions/billions of germs. So isn't the very existence of a person something bad? Bad doesn't exist imo but I'm sure you guys know what I'm getting at.
  6. I think I stared at Leo's face longer than I've stared at any one else's face in my life time. Whenever I look at it it's different from when I look at any other face. Hard to explain though lol.
  7. That clears up a lot now. Thanks for that man. That's a concept that I'll been struggling to grasp for a while now. Even though the question isn't directed to me I'd personally answer: believing an illusion is a coping mechanism to avoid understanding an uncomfortable fact. Therefore, it is resistance reality.
  8. Everyone who has replied on this thread is far smarter than I am so I'm going to need to clear up a few things. What does it mean when you say that "reality is conscious"? What do you mean when you say "objects are infinite"?
  9. I see a couple of flaws with enlightenment, direct experience, consciousness and psychedelics. I'm going to provide arguments with how these things MAY be flawed. I'm interested to see if these flaws can be debunked so here they are: Enlightenment is seeing wavy lines while the lines are actually straight. All psychedelics prove is that they warp our senses. They do not yield any sort of truth, it's a biological reaction to a foreign substance. Direct experience is a flawed testimony. Magicians can easily prove that. People also have differing opinions when experiencing the same thing. Just because you think that you are highly conscious doesn't prove that you actually are. You are thinking of "yourself' as being conscious. But that's just a thought/idea.
  10. I came across an interesting train of thought over the course of the day. Just yesterday I was reading you-tube comments since I was bored and I saw a comment of a person who claims to be Muslim. The Muslim person said that they believe that life is a test for what happens to you after you die. I personally thought that was flat out wrong and I was baffled how someone could believe that but then I started to wonder about myself. All of the false beliefs I hold. So today I went to school and I usually feel negative while I'm there. I thought to myself "should I objectively feel negative or am I deluded for feeling negative while I'm at school?" To my surprise, I actually had a great time at school today. I am usually pessimistic but I genuinely felt great. It makes me wonder. If I can feel good about school one day but negatively about it another then doesn't that mean that any belief I have about school is a delusion? And that I would have to know EVERYTHING for my beliefs to actually be true?
  11. That was a convincing example of me being caught in concept and imagine. I am infinite you say? Sounds pretty cool
  12. It could easily be the case that I'm too naive to understand. And that I need more years on me to grasp that concept. I hear often that when you're a teenager you are completely naive and crazy in some cases. Not crazy as in the mental problem but in the way you act. And I completely agree from viewing how people around my age act at school and some of the thoughts I have. I'd say the best part about being a teenager is that you have the option of whether you can develop into something that is wise, mature, and helps others, or you can focus on the negative and become mentally crazy. Life is literally what you make of it. LITERALLY. So literally that you can even become crazy if you want lol.
  13. Thanks man, and this is off topic but there is a cycle that a lot of people don't know. I call it the "negative energy" cycle. For example: Bob had a bad day today. Rather than blowing off steam with relaxation or pushing a punching bag, Bob sends an angry text to his friend Bill (I know I'm not using the most creative names.) Bill is now in a bad mood and he makes others in a bad mood as well from not blowing off steam. Those people who are now in a bad mood cause others to be in a bad mood as well. We live on a planet that have billions of people. Now you know why there are always those angry people
  14. Besides all of that reality talk. You guys are great people. Serotoninluv, you have done a lot for the forum and I'd be glad to have a professor like you. Leo, although I don't agree with everything you say in your videos since I'm extremely picky in my beliefs, you have prevented a lot of depression and gave many people a good idea of how they can create their own lives. It's nice to come across people like that. Shadowraix I don't know much about you but I see that you post on this site often so that's great of you to take the time to educate others and learn.
  15. Let's say for example that you are some genius engineer and you build a toy dinosaur. You design the toy to be able to have senses, to need to eat to survive, and to delude itself so that it can be mentally healthy. Now this toy that you created genuinely believes that it's alive and different from any random object. But it's just a collection of codes that make it believe that. I am "I" experiencing myself through my eyes since I that is my design as a human being.
  16. Every moment is not happening at all times since reality is a bunch of events occurring. picture an ice cream cone melting in the heat. The hot air causes it to melt. That's an event. The event no longer occurs once it already happens. Saying that it took a certain amount of time for it to melt is an illusion. There is no past or future. Only events occurring. It just happened because hot air causes cold ice cream to melt. I've never agreed with non-duality from the moment I learned about it. It seems like more of a coping mechanism than something true. I do agree with Leo on a lot of things and I have heard eye opening things from him but his videos do contain flaws and contradictions.
  17. That's a great point that something illusory could not live and die. I didn't think of that.
  18. If life is meaningless then it's not funny or beautiful. Those are values. Everything within reality is information.
  19. I see ego demonized very often but I don't think it's actually possible to get rid of it. Other than offing your self. But here's a message to the suicidal people: Seems like you believe that you can’t have a nightmare if you never dream. About ego, I think that getting rid of your ego is just as likely as unlearning your native language. It's just not going to happen. Even when you look at something, that is ego. For example: At breakfast time in school I sit alone in lunch since it's early in the morning and I don't feel like talking to anyone at that time. One thing that I noticed is that people tend to look directly at me more often than any random object around me. The obvious deduction is that humans find it more appealing to look at other people rather than objects that they are already relative to. If you're my annoying brother than you'd ask something like "well how would you know they are looking at you? Wouldn't you have to be looking at them first?" It's a corner of the eye thing that you can see if someone is looking at you xD. For instance, let's say that you have a dog. You are not relative to that dog since you just bought it. But over time you get used to it. If people saw a seal crawling down a road then they would be in shock and take pictures of it since they aren't relative to seeing that.
  20. Sorry for no replies. I completely forgot that I made this thread until now lol. Thank you all for sharing your perspective
  21. Eh, life is a bit on a gamble to be honest. You architect most of your life but some things have to come to luck. Your story of yourself sounds super similar to my brother. He has a mild form of autism, he is 18, and he has felt deep many times isolation. He doesn't have a care for math but he did have the 6th highest grades in the high-school when he graduated. This may sound odd but autism isn't "completely" bad. If that makes sense and that's not too broad of a brush stroke. Just letting you know that so that you don't think to down on yourself if you have that. As for whether you should deal with loneliness for a while, I'd say that it will work at first but it will get depressing. I solved the problem of not finding many friends at school by joining track + going out of my comfort zone and talking to strangers. I strongly think you should do the same if possible in your area. Good luck man
  22. Do humans have the ability to see objectively or nah?
  23. How can one experience this void?
  24. https://www.actualized.org/forum/profile/9958-thanatos13/?do=content&page=5 That guy. Sorry for the confusion. I saw you reply to him before so I thought you would remember.
