Yes. Accept and forgive yourself because they were not your fault. There was never a you

Stop thinking about the past and it doesn't exist.

You can though. Its just that you haven't. You have to remember infinity. You aren't gonna get it in one go. In fact, there is always more. That is it's nature. So one day you may awaken and realize in your Infinite Intelligence how you are doing it. That is omniscience. You will be omniscient. But then..you will forget again. Yet you might take away a sliver of a memory that you were once omniscient.

It's called awakening

If you knew you were doing it it wouldn't be real" right? How is possible to do something without being conscious of it? Well, possible and impossible are held within Infinity. Are you skull fucked yet? If not i can keep going in short- it's magic.

Space is just as imaginary as time. Behind the scenes assumes space exists.

Finite and Infinite are identical. It doesn't happen in separate places that's the mindfuck. It's just as a finite being you are conscious of what you are conscious of full stop. Where does infinity exist when you are finite ? Within you. Nowhere. It is finite. That's why when you forget you are God you stop.being God. There is no God behind the scenes still pulling the strings. It's not required. There is zero behind the scenes. The whole concept of "behind the scenes" is imagined.

It isn't your finite mind that is manifesting the universe it is your Infinite Mind. It's like a dream you are having at night and you are playing a finite character. You are both the character and the Dreamer and the creator of the universe. Yet you don't know how you are doing it. Science calls it your subconscious mind as if it's doing something in the background. But what if it's mystical. What if its infinity creating the dream and all of its detail and depth on the fly. And there is no subconscious mind in the background. There is only infinity.

That's a cop out.

It is liberation from fear of death - which yes, stops you from taking everything so seriously. Everything stops being so damn "real".

No. Consciousness can never be defined like that.

I love you to death and your humor is immaculate. But you have not awoken yet and he has. This isn't to humiliate you its just the truth. And I'm not advocating awakening- because when you do you will probably wanna go back to the dream.

Yes - that's correct. To realize you are the present moment is to become God. It is to become the present moment. At that point you aren't thinking about it - you are it.

With regards to the dream being shared simultaneously. Time is imaginary. But It can be that, should you imagine it. But realize that reality is imagination. Pure imagination. And you are God. You are Singular. Singular is both zero and infinity. This does make you ultimately alone- at the highest level of consciousness. But don't despair...most of the time we spend is at lower levels of consciousness- where there is duality. Here is where there can be the imagined shared dream. And It may seem like my statements just seemed paradoxical. That's because that is the case.

You are playing God as a finite being when you take a life. That's why @Carl-Richard said it didn't feel right. It's a low conscious act for that reason. It is selfishness. Now, unfortunately we live in a selfish society so we have to deal with what we have. Because the society is already selfish, we pile selfishness on top of selfishness and we are forced to go along with it because it's keeps the society going. Perhaps it would better to tear everything down and rebuild. But that's not the easy solution. Humans prefer the easy solution.

Well of course, you are not the average Joe...and frankly you spend most of your time here socializing with us

If you stayed conscious of this stuff all the time you couldn't function in society. Functioning period is being IN the dream and thus lost in it. That's why Leo was saying in the other thread that socializing (which is basically being lost in the dream - makes you less conscious. (Not less intelligent and he should have clarified that).

I'm not sure I understand the question?

@m0hsen it doesn't even exist if you are not conscious of it right now. And even then it exists as a thought in your mind. But that's the freaky thing about reality. Everything is consciousness- there is nothing outside of consciousness. So if you aren't conscious of it, it doesn't even exist. Now you may ask - if it doesn't exist how can the story seem so fluid - i.e. you look at the moon but then look away and think about something else. (Moon no longer exists) you then look back and it's there - slightly changed from before. But how If it didn't exist? Well that's because infinity does not need anything happening in the background. It can manifest entire universes instantaneously- it does not need any type of grounding. It's really rather astounding you just have to watch that it doesn't lead to nihilism because it leads to the realization that things only exist and have meaning if you imagine them to. To the question did it happen? The present moment is actually eternal and unchanging so everything is imagination. Even saying it happened is you imagining it happened. It's a massive mind fuck

If you knew only perfection and everything and every being was "perfect" there would no longer be any difference between anything. It would lose its meaning. Besides - wouldn't that boring after a while ? ? defeating your attempt to abolish boredom.

@at_anchor meditation can bring waves of bliss as you can connect with Being. And this will improve your overall well being. So yes it has health benefits. If you are going for awakening then self inquiry meditation is good. If you just want to meditate for well being then what you might do is do nothing meditation or concentration meditation by focusing your gaze on something and keeping it there. In do nothing you try to get in a state or not knowing. Thoughts may come but notice them and let them pass. Just watch them and try to get into a state if not knowing. This will align you more with Being and either method will raise your level of consciousness. Not saying you cant have a mystical experience here either - its certainly feasible...I'm sure there are guys here that can offer much more in depth answers on meditation but this is what seems to work for me. I also enjoy sitting in meditation in saunas. This seems especially good for reaping health benefits.

But in such a society what if it was perfectly economical to imprison them. And you could do this with ease. Would you still want to execute them? And if so - why?

This is precisely why a lot of prisoners take their own lives in jail as soon as they get the chance.

Telling someone that seems depressed that death would be their salvation is not a very wise thing to do. Help is available. I could be wrong but that's what I am Intuiting is going on here. Maybe @Holykael can clear that up.

In my early years when I was an atheist I was because I thought if God existed he would show himself. And then you are raised in the age of science and the materialist paradigm. Even though I was Jewish I just immediately assumed religion was just something that kept the family together (my grandfather would often say this) . I just figured God and Spirit were just stories...very Interesting myths but that's it. After all, we had science and science could explain everything. So yeah I think a lot was culture and a lot is that God is very mysterious and we don't take to this well. If we can't see it or touch it, it doesn't exist.
