There is no "your" or "my" perceptions. There is only Being. And it is Absolute. You have to start by realizing No Self before you worry about No Other. There is a shift in consciousness. You are me and I am you, and thus that duality collapses. But when you realize no Self..the rest will follow. And I mean an awakening to No Self - not a conceptual realization.

It takes a mystical experience. It takes awakening to Absolute Infinity. Becoming it. Evidence is held within Infinity. All you need is an open mind and a meditation practice.

I deem this is why the video was pulled. That said - If you have directly realized Truth, there is no harm in it. But then, you no longer need to use it anyway

@onacloudynightAnd you will no longer need discipline. You will no longer succumb to social pressure without requiring will power. It will just be. This is when you have burned through all karma.

Stop succumbing then - and then you will seize back control. That takes discipline. Are you ready for that? You may be highly conscious- but without embodiment you will still be stepping on your own toes. That said - this is your will as God and everything is happening in just the correct order. If highly conscious, you would know that you are Perfection.

No mechanism required. A "mechanism" is held within the dream itself, not outside of it.

This is precisely why I've never used the word.

That's called lucid dreaming.

When you beat the game there is nothing else to do other than trick yourself into believing you haven't figured it out. Ta da.

Right. But that boils down to survival. And yes - Its relative. If you want to keep living you will experience fear in the moment your death is threatened. This is regardless of whether or not you are God realized. But what I am proposing is the enlightened one or God realized one already expects this and thus bypasses the innate human fear built into survival. In other words - he transcends survival. Heres the thing - he can fall easily back into the dream and be scared, but that would be something he is conscious that he allowed. There is a big difference there. This is self reflection.

Make an effort to look someone in the eye and remember their name. Just place it in memory. Simple right?

Nope. You won't become enlightened until you are at least 50. You've lived. You've experienced. It's only attachment to whatever forms you have left is what remains. When you awaken you know directly that death is an illusion. So it is the dismantling of the illusion that bothers you. Because you took so much time to set it up. And you attached yourself.

No. Fear of death is extinguished when you awaken. Sadness may remain, but fear evaporates. Fear is a lack of understanding.

Still, one fact remains. "Other" is a reflection of yourself. . Turn inwards. The only being that can do that is yourself.

Share away. I pride myself in three things: 1. Remaining open minded. 2. Self reflecting and realizing I may be wrong. 3. Admitting I was wrong

Is it though? I think if they were capable of self reference at all they would exhibit signs for us to see and pick up on - so that we could communicate in other ways. No. They are simply more limited than us. Dolphins may have the ability, and we haven't had a way to communicate with them yet. So yes, there may be species that do Forget science. I am not coming at you with science - I am coming at you with intuition. Intuition will trump intellect any day of the week because it is able to cross more sectors than intellect. Intellect alone does not self reflect. Have you attempted advanced communication? It will prove futile because they are more limited than you. Again, there may be some species where we may be able to have some type of alternate communication with but I feel a dog may not be one of them.

Look at your dog and ask if it can self reflect or turn its gaze inwards. It cannot. Man can reverse its gaze. This is God. Now, thats not to say that there isn't an alien out there capable of self reference. But make no mistake - self reflect and realize that an alien only exists in your imagination.

Dude. Man is just one dream of God. Just as is a lion. Or any creature. God morphed into human form because of man's intellect and ability to feel emotions. But most of all - to self reflect. This ability is only gifted to humans so that they can awaken.

Notice your bias here. When you delve into reality via mysticism it will be free of bias. It must be. And yes, mysticism is beyond language. But it starts with simple meditation and lack of thought. Here, you are deeply engaged in thought.

Man will do what is required to survive. The bottom line I would say to him is don't demonize survival. Don't demonize anything actually. And then you will rise above self bias.

You would be better served looking into the nature of reality and not into the nature of mankind. Get to the root. Mankind is a subset.

@Razard86 in competition, ego takes over and your true self takes a back seat. This is because the ego does not like losing. It will feel inferior. This is simply that it is inferior to "other" in some type of way. Be it physical or mental. The ego does not grasp that physical and mental is a duality - nor does it grasp that the opponent is none other than itself. It only wants to win.

Well said. Man it's good to be back! I had a month away and it was nice. But I miss the wisdom here. Look - ill be honest with you. We are probably a thousand years from the society you envision. You are millenniums ahead of where our current society is. This is because, simply, philosophy just doesn't pay the bills. And that's sad. ?

@Razard86 anything finite contains some level of corruption. this is because the finite is imperfect. That being said - trying to reduce it is not what I would say is arrogance. By the way, arrogance should not be shunned. But we must attempt to limit the amount of corruption we have for our survival- and that is all that is - it is an effort to preserve survival. To survive at all takes some degree of arrogance. As for devilry - well - man is the devil, so I would say I need not go further there ?

Reality is a dream. Realistic and imaginary is a duality that must collapse. This whole thing is an illusion. You were peeling layers of the illusion off. The realization of no self will rid you of it entirely. Yes you did. You are Infinity. You started to become your true self. Continue on. But be forewarned: you will be no more as the small self when you become the entire thing.
