We know. But what's to stop you from still disputing it. What if you were absolutely conscious or lucid that every other being is your imagination. Would you stop immersing yourself into the dream. I've fucked this dream up every which way but loose..and loose too (awakening) yet im still here. Might leave at some point. But now I'm here. Still fascinated with the intricacies of this creation. This dream. I can marvel in it for decades.

But notice you were open minded to what God could be. Is there one? And if so where could he come form? Most humans don't have that gear. They just want to know what's for breakfast. The religion just puts the nail in the coffin. Consider yourself gifted.

Hahaha

Josh my man! Whats up man

Please state your experiences here. I have experienced it often in my life. Most recently late last week as my consciousness was shifted. This is indeed a very unique and mystical like experience in which one wakes from the dream but is still trapped. Almost metaphorically its like after you awaken from this dream but you are still trapped to this body. Here you awaken, and yet are trapped and cannot move. Consciousness is there but you are without any body. Until you push hard enough with your mind to break through and feel the body again This can be terrifying but I would like to hear your experiences.

If only it was that way. Most are paradigm locked.

That's good then. Im sorry you had to go through that.

No i asked if you told them to screw off...

And did you?

That's not the point. The question is really can you stomach doing something completely against your worldview. And if you were forced to how could you react.

@Leo Gura this is an interesting philosophical question though. What if you were absolutely forced to? How would you turn it into a positive? These questions that we do not want to face- those are the ones that make or break us. So its not about this particular question.

My sentiments exactly.

What would be the need? The point was i paid no attention at your age and cheated on the exam by looking at someone else's answers. At your age you are contemplating reality. Now..Now I am beyond academia. Just funny how life unfolds. It doesn't mean past philosophers don't interest me they do. But only for what they obtained...which can be transcended.

Yeah its funny. I cheated on my final exam in Philosophy class in college. My major was business but I had a philosophy class. If I could go back there now I would tell Kant and Descartes to take a dump.

But you can know it. I have this fantasy about you that you have been through university philosophy. For some reason I imagine you as the young guy who has gone through all the academia and all the philosophy classes and yet has gone beyond in his own mind. And that is you whether you sat through the classes or not. You are my hero for being interested in reality at such a young age. Im 55. But..you can know it. You just have to be in a different state of consciousness.

I understand what you are saying. But its a very Buddhist approach. I am simply offering that you can grasp reality at the most highest levels- but it requires transcending the self. Of course no one could say the Absolute Truth. When that is reached there are none to talk to or explain it too. I get it. But what I'm pointing to goes beyond traditional Buddhism and no self.

And I'm telling you that's wrong. Not that its Being it is. But its knowing as Being. Requires awakening.

Yeah but just don't feel like you can't know reality. You can. It's not just not going to be at the level of concept.

A lot of his masterpieces go unnoticed because most of the population cannot appreciate it. His episode "States of Consciousness is everything" is a Masterpiece.

Could it become Conscious is what your asking. The question is flawed. Is your mother Conscious? Or is it just You.

But you know it just not at the level of duality. For example - omniscience isn't knowing in the traditional sense.

Most don't.

It doesn't matter what you can or cannot prove against Trump. That's not what its about. I was on his side when the Biden administration failed. And I want everyone on this forum to hear this from me. He has turned out to be a complete and utter failure. He's lied about everything. Which of course, isn't anything new. But he does it without any style..which makes it worse than Biden. Everything he promised has failed to materialize. So dude get lost with this crap. The guy needs to be voted out as soon as possible. He doesn't even know whether he is coming or going anymore. He made very bad decisions and the economy for the middle class has gotten worse than ever before. All the guy cares about is tearing apart the east wing or whatever, of the White house. Get him out and get him out quick.

@thierry God.

Oh yes right. The answer is you cannot know it. 😀 quite irrational.
