@BipolarGrowth As he said suicide is driven by the ego. It derives from selfishness. This is not to downplay the pain of depression. But suicide ultimately comes from a point in which to appease the self.

Pure Being = Pure or Absolute infinity = Pure or Absolute Love = Pure Absolute Nothingness Pure Nothingness is everything in a formless state or state of pure potential. Right now you are a particular form or thing. Your substrate is nothing but you are a piece of it. So you are nothing and something hehe. Once you become directly conscious that you are nothing and everthing, so shall you become it. You will be Pure Being. Your form will die though. Pure Being feels like Total Bliss or Total Love.

@James123 Indeed. Infinity. @WHO IS he has become it - or that which he really is. It is not a belief. Becoming it and becoming conscious of it are identical because all there is is Consciousness. Becoming conscious of it is becoming pure Consciousness.

@Chumbimba as we always say here - go with direct experience. The teachings laid out here are meant to give you a theoretical foundation. If you take them on faith, or as belief, you shall ultimately fall into confusion. You say you aren't interested in enlightenment or the discovery of the highest Truth but are you so sure? Thats is fine if you are - yet be wary not to put the cart before the horse. You are here in this realm so that you can experience. All of this is beautiful and shouldn't be shunned. All of it can be embraced - Feel free to pursue what fuels your passion. Don't enslave yourself. If it is a career in computers do not shun that. If you want to get out and make some money in a particular career do not shun that either. Enjoy life in all of its facets. Just be conscious that when your ego crosses the line into total selfishness that there will ultimately be a price to pay and that will be in the form of your own suffering. Suffering is not necessarily a bad thing either. It can lead to more growth. So embrace life. Spirituality can come later. And even after spirituality you can and should embrace life to the fullest.

Not if the water bottle is not actually a water bottle - but it's You.

@Synchronicity exactly.

@John Doe very nice realization.. .remember form is hallucination. What is Truth is God in its purest form - the formless - or the infinite - complete unconditional love for Itself.

These are all examples (the supernova too) imagined by Infinity. Anything you thought was outside of infnity is actually within it. It cannot escape itself. An awakening can really give you a direct hit on this insight.

@Someone here that happens on my phone a lot...highlighting the duplicate box and hitting delete or the x seems to get rid of it.

You ARE actuality. Thats what has to be realized. If you already did you would be enlightened.

@Someone here ?? yes you are there - now that also means that the human you is imaginary aka a concept. Because as there is only actuality - that makes the idea of you illusory. So when that is realized, lets say via self inquiry, the you collapses into actuality and you become pure actuality. That which is your true nature. That is a satori.

God exists. Non-dual traditions go back to Oneness of the Self. It is God. Remember they are thousands of years old. But even back then they were aware of God. Whether they named it as God or went deeper into the nature of reality is another matter.

Your twisting words. They believe in the one real Self. What do you think that is? What are you saying here... Again twisting words.

You are awareness.

@Nak Khid who cares. You are still lost in traditions, beliefs, and religions. Have you bothered to sit down and do self inquiry?

@mandyjw nice!

@JosephKnecht remember the dream is an illusion. Therefore psychedelics are an illusion. Yes, believe it or not they are an illusion. All finite thought is. As it gets lost in its own dream though, God has to create a way to remember itself. A tool. It can remember itself without anythng of course because it is itself. But why not imagine something to help itself along the way? Meditation is a another tool just as powerful in my opinion. You can awaken deeply though meditation. Don't let anyone tell ya different. One has to be ready or have the foundational understanding. Then when leveraging one of the tools all God will break loose.

@Leo Gura he cannot help himself. His mind is closed.

Imagination is form - finite and relative. The formless is the Absolute. It is pure Truth or Infinity - Absolute understanding. Absolute understanding is equivalent to Absolute Love. It contains all the potential of infinite imagination within it. It cannot be accurately depicted here but we do our best.

Notice everything you think about death remains another concept. You are this reality. That is God mode. There are Absolute realizations about facets of Yourself. Dissolution of the ego is seamless. Infinite Love becomes total. You're finite self melts into it. You are God. Simple as that. Physical death is just never coming back from Infinite Love and God Consciousness. Never coming back to form. Whatever you imagine yourself to be you will be.

@billiesimon welcome home

This is a very interesting topic because i was under the impression that i had what is known in the OCD arena as "pure OCD" all of my life until awakening. Pure OCD is having obsessive thoughts but not the physical compulsions. It took me years to even become self aware of what i have - and then suffering through it is really tough, until i found the truth. Here's what's really going on: OCD is the mind's unconscious desire and desperate search for more consciousness and it really drives the ego crazy. You are not broken. This is actually very good because if you have pure OCD you are spiritually gifted and can get enlightened much faster! The best way to bring your OCD symptoms to zero is to do the "do nothing" meditation technique. This will do 2 things: Firstly it will calm your mind as you watch your obsessive thoughts come, and go. You need to do this OVER and OVER and OVER. Keep doing this daily as long as it takes. Rotate between this and the self inquiry technique Leo shows you how to do, and listen to his videos on this while doing self inquiry. One day, something magical is going to ocurr, - a state of satori -and it's going to blow your mind. Your OCD will begin to melt away. Yes - I mean melt away. You see, you never had anything wrong with you - you weren't broken - you were actually attune to the Truth with a capital T and you longed for more consciousness, but you didn't know it. This caused your ego massive anxiety. Note: People with "pure OCD" only have the thoughts, not the physical obsessions so becoming enlightened will be easier than a person who has the compulsions as well because meditation might be much harder for them. Let me know if you have any questions about this - i've been dealing with what I thought was OCD (another illusion) for 30 years. It's almost zero now, having been beat down and melted via enlightenment.

@Nak Khid stop spreading nonsense about this topic. It is clear you still know nothing about it.

A shift in awareness or consciousness will occur. You will transcend the ego and you will fulfill your dreams as God. The ego after all is God. Its just God forsaken.

@Someone here um..nothing.
