@EntheogenTruthSeeker the thing is - God realization isn't found through religion. I was raised a Jew. It's not like I'm not Jewish anymore, I am but it's more of just part of my egoic identity.. God transcends all religions. God is found within - yet religions tend to look outward for God. Never once did I find God in temple - or in a church with one of my girlfriends who wasn't Jewish.

You gotta remember that possible and impossible go out the window AS Infinity. Possible and impossible or 2nd order. So Omniscience is prior to that and can't be grasped here. Reality is an Infinite fractal that goes on forever yes, but that is reality Being itself. Reality can understand itself entirely because who else would? Reality created itself!

All that melts away in a non-dual state because all of that is just imaginary content within the dream. Omniscience is just infinite understanding of reality as a whole, outside of space and time. (Which is also content) It can't really be described.

Yeah it was one of those insights/awakenings that dropped me to my knees for a long time.

You're equating a difference between nothing and something and experience. There isn't any this is Absolute Nothingness right now. That's a mindfuck to become conscious of. But it will shatter all previous paradigms.

?? indeed...and you are the Now. The Actual. @Holygrail which is why if you ever tried to capture the present moment it slips away - because you ARE the present moment - so it's prior to capturing . Can just BE it. And in fact you're being it right now.

@Tim R there was a post about the Lion King here before a few years back. It's one of the greatest movies of all time IMO. I cried like a baby with the original. I still do whenever I watch it.

Honestly karma is all imaginary. Your currently imagining that you have done worse things. That only exists in your mind. If you release that it's gone. Things don't happen precisely as the do because of karma - they happen precisely as they do, because they happen precisely as they do. Reality is it's own end.

For me I call the tingling Being...you may tingle for a while and consciousness may stay elevated for a while too.

Exactly. It happened precisely as it was supposed to. Guilt is also an illusion - albeit a powerful one - so there is no point in beating yourself up. Just grow from it and move on.

This is true - but don't take it as a license to go out and be a devil. And yeah OCD sucks but can be transcended

@SS10 nice! Yes it is Divine indeed - Space and time melt away as does all illusion. Still basking in it?

Think of a dream or a video game. Within the context of the game there is. In a video game, for example, if you performed laser surgery on your eye, you would find your cornea may not be optimally shaped. Yet this was how the game was designed by the developer. Or in a dream, it is what is being dreamed by the dreamer.

@Beginner Mind

First thing in the morning like that when I'm waking or even when I'm still partially asleep i tend to figure things out that perhaps during the day i was unable to, and the solution or insight will just come to me from nowhere. I agree with @EddieEddie1995 that there is a spiritual component here. Consciousness expands during these periods and you can access Infinite Intelligence for short bursts.

I'm not saying all of this isn't Truth. Reality is One, so of course it is right here. I'm simply saying that right now what you are stating in your post is only known to you at the conceptual/imaginary/belief level, but there is something prior to that which is Actuality, as you also stated in your post. And you can actually be Actuality itself (you can call it mysticism, or spirituality) Or maybe you have had a mystical experience in which the subject/object duality colllapsed and you became the present moment, or you became actuality itself? I don't know, but those who haven't can fall into the belief that mysticism/spirituality is just imaginary, when, oh no, its Actual!

Correct, nothing needs to happen. But there are other states of consciousness that can be accessed beyond the one we are in right now. It's not better or worse, it just IS. But what reality IS, is a Miracle

Don't buy into that - you can BE the Truth, which is beyond the conceptual level. There are states of consciousness that will blow your mind. Total omniscience. Leo is not joking about that stuff, i have entered these states of consciousness a handful of times without psychedelics.

@Brandon Nankivell the more conscious you become, the less suffering. suffering, at its core, is imaginary. So the more conscious one becomes the less suffering can rear its ugly head....its not really about awakening, although it is...because in a deep awakening your state of consciousness expands so entirely that when you come back to human levels of consciousness your baseline is much higher after awakening. There is suffering of the ego mind and then things like physical pain (suffering in the form of physical pain). (Though they are connected) In my experience transcending suffering of the mind is easier to transcend then suffering in the form of physical pain of the body, that's why its still so important to take care of your body. Even physical pain can be transcended, though, through higher consciousness as well, but it is much more difficult, i would say.

great post, preach it brother! and yeah, it kinda leads back to your previous post on seeking enlightenment...its kinda why one awakens when they awaken. Seeking is paradoxical because the ego really doesn't wanna find Truth, as it will be its demise. Truth has to find itself

@TEHUTI I dunno..I'm 50 and never had problems eating 3 or 4 cans of tuna a week haha.. I'm sure I'll get gasps for that..but I love my Infared sauna..use it all the time and do 40 minutes sessions. For anyone that can I highly recommend getting a sauna.

True - I was referring to the ego mind- that sense of a self that possesses consciousness...the illusion

@The0Self Haha..how do you identify with that which is omnipresent? Perhaps by not identifying with that which is local ?

What do you currently believe you are? The body? The brain? A soul? It's the process of deconstructing your mind until something clicks that the "you" was an illusion. Leo's early enlightenment videos are very effective and there are some later ones as well.
