That's right...it's called selfishness. There's nothing wrong with that..but at the level of God Consciousness there is only selflessness.

@Forza21 because you are looking at it from a finite bias POV..whars better for "me" God has no such bias. God doesn't choose anything because it IS everything.

I think what you mean to say - (or to expand on this) is it does not exist as something..but notice it exists as nothing. Existence is independent or prior to form or formlessness. Also if you are conceding that everything is indeed One..which of course it is..then ultimately the duality between nothing and something collapses.

After you awaken the first thing you wanna do is share this with others because it is such a miracle. But in its Infinite Wisdom, what God did with you was gently provide you with hints and clues along the way to help you wake up. God did not force awakening on you, because that would not be Love, it would be out of selfishness. God rather gently gave you a little implicit guidance and the rest was you. This is the most selfless way, and the most aligned with your higher self - because people are going to wake up when they are ready to.

Have you done self inquiry? Leo's got some really good self inquiry videos, and has some lumped in the early enlightenment videos if you listen to them all.

Exactly - which is the deception the ego wants to keep you in the ego's very existence stands as a separate entity Otherwise the God/ego duality collapses and bye bye ego...... .

I've been saying that for years where the heck have you been?

In this case, from his previous threads and trip reports, i do believe he grasps the difference between actuality and concept,....with that in mind its OK to conceptualize and describe what God is - he understands that the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon..(it is at the same time, but you get my drift)

yeah but don't be so sure you didn't wake - you may have had a profound awakening but now you are pulled back into the dream so deeply where you completely forgot you woke up..its a mindfuck. The ego does not want you to remember you are God, because it will mean the dream ends, and with it so does the ego. So the ego needs to keep you deceived and in the dream for it to persist.

Omnipresence. There is nowhere God is not. God is nowhere! The collapse of all duality or differences. Sameness. Eternal. You.

Your the only Being to Actually awaken because you are God. All others are you. You are merely imagining their awakenings and pointing them towards awakenings. But imagination is reality...so If you have awoken you will understand that you can lucid dream right? It's pretty much just like that. A lucid Dreamer can also temporarily forget its a dream..hence imagination is reality. While in a dream you wouldn't tell a dream character they cannot awaken because you are dreaming they can. Stay in context.

what i mean it is the Absolute has no form so that it can be all things, it does need a particular thing to persist or to make that particular one thing permanent, because it is everything and nothing merged. it is Infinity.

Collapse of this duality will be the Absolue Self which is Selfless

So they can persist as a person..one needs to have some degree of selfishness for a self to persist.

Until you wake up from a dream do you know it's a dream?

@Mason Riggle it's because imagination is reality but then you can step outside of it or shift awareness and see it that reality is imagination. Imagination is reality, but also reality is imagination. That is if you have become conscious of this.

At the deepest level it's identical.

Again you are coming at this with hidden. Metaphysics. There is no you..there is only Absolute Being. That is all there ever was. You are not. Isness is issing. Just make a shift in consciousness. . Meditation can trigger it but you thought that was gay. Are you really serious about discovering Truth? Try self inquiry meditation. If you can realize there is no you directly the rest will open up for you. It's just mind stuff. All content is mind stuff. Reality is just a singular Infinite Mind. What to do with all of this? Don't believe me, do the spiritual practices and try to verify these claims.

Shin showing off his wisdom again Love you bud.

Indeed Just wanted to point that out

I was basically saying, yeah but who cares if he is? do you need him to be a certain way to live up to your expectations? if you have to point it out in a post then maybe its triggering you in some way.

I love you to death man and agree with your stance on meditation but may I ask here why someones arrogance would trigger you? And if one is become conscious of God or God realized why would they ever hero worship a projection of their own mind? I mean you could if you wanted but if you knew it was you wouldn't that be a charade you are putting on for yourself to keep yourself in the illusion ? Are you sure it's not just that it really bothers you that Leo thinks you can't awaken if you haven't taken psychedelics? That's just his style of teaching...if you haven't noticed..your not going to change anyone's mind on this forum..the attempt is fruitless.. they're only going to make a paradigm shift if they actually want to...the irony of this is the teachings are to be open minded yet almost everyone I see on the forum is paradigm locked. So I wouldn't waste too much time trying to change Leo or anyone else I would just do your own thing

@Gregory1 well said. @Rilles time away is good. This place really is just a lounge to shoot the shit... Good luck to you sir and if you change your mind that's fine too you will be welcomed

that's what this is...its an appearance of division. lets' look at the top sentence. You are the whole tree, and you are imagining that you are being one pariticular leaf. so you are not being the other leafs... Who else would be being the other leaves then? or maybe the other leaves are just being imaged by you as the tree? And when you stop being the leaf and realize you are the tree, you see this. You can't get around Oneness as much as you are trying.

why do you have to force yourself to get over this? you still have some attachments to this world. That's OK. You have an eternity to awaken.
