Heh....interesting- but check this - what IS the worst life ever? Isn't that, well, relative- and being deemed the worst from the perspective of survival? Interesting.... God is a brilliant architect, is "he" not?!!! Your current understanding is accurate. Of course - to go a step further, there is just an appearance of a room, and arms, and the body. You are not in reality - you ARE reality. All that is left is to realize you are reality by becoming it. You don't get to the bottom of reality through concept. It is only at first order - by Being it - that true understanding happens. But yes, your intuition about things being off concerning the concept that you will live out every possibility is correct. Your present experience is Infinity. This is Infinity. In fact you ARE Infinity ? Only it/you is/are masked by the appearance of finitude - and boy is God good at putting on masks!

Enter quantum mechanics Heck, before his death - Einstein got it. But was he a mystic? Hmm...not so sure

I know we are anthropomorphizing God here, but you did that for an eternity and got bored. So here you are. Now you are bored with this experience too. What is gonna take to make you happy? Would you prefer to be a chair? Or maybe the light pole down the street?

I've died. I died after two weeks of meditation in 2018.

It works. You just can't seek enlightenment it has to surprise the ego. If you sit in meditation long enough you will have an awakening. It's just that most people don't because they are stuck tightly to the dream. They have survival needs and they only care about surviving in this dream as the self. They never bother to self inquire or turn inwards. If they did this long enough they would experience their own death. Psychedelics can bring this on without meditation- but again, if one is still not inquiring into existence and what they are, they will only experience what the ego wants them to.

Yes and in fact It is the love for others and selflessness that awakens you from this selfish individual dream you are dreaming!

He is correct though - the problem is he hasn't had God realization yet - so he views all of this as something negative. I don't prefer to use the word solipsism because he isn't a human actually. He is pure Mind. All of "his" perceptions are rather recontextualized as Being. And because he hasn't had a shift in Consciousness to Divine Consciousness- (ego death) which is awakening from the dream - he spins some negative twist to reality when in fact if he awakens to this directly it would actually be liberation.

A teacher ain't gonna enlighten you bro. This takes turning inward. I recommend you perform self inquiry and do nothing mediation practices. But it's a terrible trap to put your faith into an enlightened master. For even if they are enlightened you would be putting your authority into them and thus never taking back your own as God. Self inquiry will allow you to realize no self and bring you God realization- where a teacher can only feed you concepts and keep you stuck in them. P.S. @SOULis doing you a favor by refusing his services

If only it were that easy ?

Love it! ?

It's just an Infinite dream. It doesn't require any type of evolution.

It is to understand that there is no objective reality- or nothing behind the scenes. Mind only requires the current frame, if you will. There doesn't need to be an external reality. An external reality or something behind the scenes only needs to be imagined.

It is Absolute Truth. Your mistake is to label it as some belief and then hold a bias about it. Notice how your mind holds a bias towards Solipsism or the idea that you are Alone as God. Notice that.

Appearance is reality. So as long as their appears to be free will, that's good enough. At the Absolute level it is God's will and you are God. So it is God's will. But you are not allowing Yourself to see your own Will, for the sake of the movie. Otherwise there would be no reality.

Beautiful.

@justfortoday you are beloved here and it's good to see you back after your long journey. I have thought about you from time to time.

Precisely. All of this is as he says- pure magic. Because it needs not be stored anywhere. And whats crazier is that what is right now is everything and nothing...right now it is both the Actualized and the potential. It's just fooling you into thinking it's just one possibility....the possibility that you are being @Arthogaan right now - when in fact you are all of it. You are me and @justfortoday just as much as you are "you". It just requires a shift in consciousness to realize.

@justfortoday well I prefer to think of it as every other possibility, exists as nothing, or pure potential. But of course, even something IS nothing. But what I added to my post above is that because brains are irrelevant, you also have to concede per your explanation that there must be experiences as atoms, or molecules, or quarks, or.....you see where I'm going?

All that exists is NOW. Everything else is being dreamed up by Infinite Mind - or that which can't be spoken as it has been called. AKA Infinity - AKA God. All objects - both self and other - with brains and without brains - are indeed imaginary. Formed reality is identical to that of a dream- a dream of One Mind. Why would an Infinite Intelligence go through the trouble of keeping a database when it is Infinite and it all can exist as nothing? Why would it hold a database of so called conscious entities - because remember - humans aren't the only beings with brains. Even ants have a brain, which supposedly holds consciousness. Does it have a database of a gazillion ants and there experience? And why would it limit it to "creatures" with brains? Why couldn't it experience itself as a chair? This is kinda where your ideas fall apart. It would have to hold a database of every experience as a chair, or a couch, or an atom, or a molecule, or a quark..and you see this circles around to everything and nothing, because you can break reality down forever. Other selves aren't conscious because even the self isn't conscious. This is the materialist or brain paradigm. Consciousness can appear to take any form and then imagine it is separate from other form. And thus consciousness is dreaming itself to be a self where there are other selves, both human and animal - all of whom hold consciousness within a brain. All of this is an illusion. Because there is no difference between your mother and the couch!!! They are all fragments of Consciousness...but it is very easy to be fooled about that because the materialist paradogm taught you that because you have a brain you are having a conscious experience. It is very easy to fall into the illusion. But really, all there is, is right now. Only what is actual. Consciousness was never held in a brain.

This an Absolute answer but one must first realize what is relative. If my Christian friend asked me why her child died of cancer I could not tell her its because she is God and it was her will. I could - but it would fall on deaf ears.

You're trying to get some conceptual answer to this. Words are words. You need to go beyond words for what we are telling you.

I would say it's important to understand philosophy has its value but then one must go beyond philosophy and access the Truth directly. Here we must be careful because even to call this spirituality can confuse someone looking in. But then again, we are sitting here talking about Truth, so there are inherent dangers simply doing that. Ultimately you have to realize that Truth is a slippery beast. It will attempt to evade you at all costs and masquerade as various things or descriptions- none of which are actually it - even the word actual isn't it. I think this where @Jannes might be going with this. We need to very careful with our use of language. Ultimately since all dualities collapse - it means all words must also collapse.

I was eluding to what @Moksha was saying- the word spirituality tends to get misinterpreted- (wow - here's something familiar - like the term solipsism!)...so really, its simpler to think about what is actual in terms of what is True. And Truth is what one seeks, no? Spirituality ultimately just points to what is True. But what is true just IS - it is Actual.

True spirituality is Actuality.

If you really take the time to go deep enough and question everything- you will realize that good and bad are relative. And everything breaks down - all duality breaks down to Absolute Oneness. You are every being in reality - just as in a dream at night all of the characters are your own mind - and it is One Mind dreaming it all. In the end, if you delve far enough into this work, all distinctions will collapse to where the question also becomes relative - and doesn't exist in the Absolute sense.
