@Someone hereInfinite imagination and infinite curiosity has no bounds, or bias.

What made you think you weren't.

You can forget you are God for all of eternity if you like. It's scary that this is possible at all - but it must be. It must be total. That is the paradox of God.

It is indeed Infinite Consciousness. But note that's just a pointer to something that can't be captured with any descriptions or language. But going with that we can do our best with what we have, we can say It's an Infinite Mind that is omnipresent - meaning everywhere and nowhere. think of Infinite and Finite as one. Infinity being finite is still Infinity. Because what else would it be if everything is one? And by the same token finitude can expand to Infinity or become Infinity. Think of Inifnity like a shapeshifter. It can take on any form it likes. Including the infinite form. Actual infinity has no name - it's just that our limited minds can't grasp actual infinity so we can only use language and thought to understand it. So we divide IT into two parts. Infinite and finite....But IT, was always ONE.

No - I listened to some concepts with curiosity and then I turned within through meditation. Actually I began meditating after I listened to Leo's video on boredom. It was mainly about the ego always needing some type of entertainment- and that it is actually healthy to just sit and do nothing with your mind. Just sit and do nothing. And then yes, I found the enlightenment videos and did self inquiry. But I really was just taking the stuff in out of curiosity and with an open mind. I did not put my faith in anything.

It's exactly like a dream.

True wisdom bro. And I have nothing to say to contradict this. But first - I hope you have been doing well. It has been quite a few years now and I do hope you are growing old with dignity. Now, with all that being said - the only thing I will add to your statement is that is OK to entertain the ego in all of its devilry. If you choose to think its the wise path to do otherwise that's also OK. But the ego was meant to be experienced in all of its fullness.

Please see me for future hosting efforts. I run a hosting company and we pride ourselves in not letting this shit happen. This is not acceptable.

Religion to me is something you are born into. Something you were told to believe and you were told to pray to a God that was the source of reality. All of the answers were given to you. True religion is spirit- or spirituality. This is finding what is true for yourself, and looking within for that

Test.

I thought we went through this already. I see your point in how they can become indistinguishable. It's actually extremely scary. But there is a difference and you know what it is. You don't need me to tell you.

It exists in an imaginary sense to you. It does not exist in the Absolute sense.

The magic of God is simply this: There is no subconscious. There is nothing behind the scenes. There is no algorithm when you are not conscious of something. There is ONLY NOW. That's all. Everything else is fabricated. You can believe what you want.

There is no book of identities. Infinity doesn't need it. So yes- you fabricated it.

You can call it a giant record or a big open book. It sounds like something out of a Harry Potter movie.

You might as well start embracing the Bible.

This is something you have fabricated. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But someone had to tell you.

I consider someone enlightened to be a mystic. So they would not need to read anymore books on spirituality. They may wanna study history or science- but spirituality was not something they would need. They would already have experienced God.

It is always our duty. We got him into this and we can get him out. I just feel like he got lost in nihilism and it's sad to see. We can break him out if we try hard enough. But you are right- ultimately he has to do that himself.

The akashic records lie within your imagination. You do know that right?

@Holykael this is very good advice.

That's an awesome way to think of it! I love it.

He feels his life is hopeless. There is nothing I can do for him. Maybe you can help him. He feels he was dealt a shit hand and that's it - the movie will just play out with no way to change it. His life will suck because that's just the way it is. I tell him he can change his outlook- but he says God controls that too.

The point is that it is both. Yes - you created and laid out the entire thing. But also, you can stray from it - because who else would? There is no one else. If you stay on it - that's your choice. He's lost in the fact that he thinks he is separate from God. Yes, the ego is not God, but I say to you, he is not the ego. He only thinks he is. This keeps him in this masterful hell he has crafted for himself. A personal hell with walls higher than the greatest army can pierce. But he can go where no arrow can. He can break out of his own prison- if he so chooses.

This has nothing to do with free will. If you limit yourself down to a dumb state and there is ONLY you - then you can't follow a path you made for yourself. Eventually you will stray from it. Because its only you. There is nothing stopping you from straying from it.
