Do you grasp what you quote here? This means ultimately you must transcend all of which you ever posted and quoted. Throw all of it out and become it. The Absolute is to merge with reality itself and become reality. Become the Absolute. To become conscious that you ARE the present moment. When that happens intellect will melt away and something mystical happens. Because reality / you, are fundamentally mystical. Thus you become reality itself (which you always were but were not directly conscious that you were consciousness). Becoming directly conscious that you are consciousness is simply put, IT. The you (the relative) and the Absolute become one and you are IT. That's awakening my friend. The Absolute transcends all models - that, as you said, (or quoted) is intellect (thought) Yes, you stand on the shoulders of giants, but be careful not to lean on them too much - or you will forever be standing on them. Good luck on the journey my friend

Fine, enjoy it. But you will be stuck here forever. Also maybe illusion isn't the right word - maybe imagination is better. Either way it's going to fly over your head until you do self inquiry / meditation / etc.

And btw, it exists, but it exists as illusion. When it comes to form, illusion is all there is. It IS reality (formed reality)

Come on guys. Up the quality of the posts.

This is something you heard and are regurgitating. It's not something you are directly conscious of. Try doing self inquiry and see what you truly believe you are, currently .

What we are referring to is mystical. The you dissolves and you become actuality or pure experience. You BECOME experience itself. It's mystical and again can't be captured properly with words

**repeat** Language really breaks down when trying to accurately capture Truth.

LOL. This isn't going to move you closer to Truth I'm afraid. You'll need to transcend all language for that. Language really breaks down when trying to accurately capture Truth.

There you go poo pooing infinity again

Believe it or not my friend these are some of the highest teachings - of which you can become directly conscious of for yourself if you truly desire to. Don't take my word for it of course.

That question used to break mind - probably because my intuition probably kicked in. But honestly if reality was a dumb physical universe would it make sense that it could exist independent of consciousness? It doesn't compute for me. Maybe I'm wired that way.

@Highest yeah - you are doing good. Don't blow it. ??

It was a completely different level of consciousness. The ego was dead. I was consciousness itself and was directly conscious that i was experiencing all perspectives simultaneously. I was not even able to look anyone in the eye for almost a week. A human cannot function at that level of consciousness.

Like i said, you are God - you can do whatever you want :)❤?

Becoming conscious of the nature of reality for one...a few days ago you were poo pooing Absolute infinity but that's what reality is and you can have a mystical experience of that - and become conscious that you are literally nothing. Another one is Oneness - as in you can have a mystical experience in which your consciousness expands to super human levels in which you can mystically shift to God's perspective and discover you are completely alone. All of this is being dreamed up in your one mind. The mind of God. Its very radical. And of course becoming conscious that you are in fact consciousness itself - and realizing that consciousness is God. These mystical experiences may seem insane to you now - but hopefully you can be open minded about it. (I don't mind either way, or if you think I'm nuts) but these are some of the awakenings i have directly experienced. ❤?

Yes - it is all relative at this point. You can do whatever you want. Literally. Thats your freedom as God. That's what it means to experience yourself. But remember God is completely selfless, and the self is selfish. The ego is division not unity.. God ultimately wants to reunite with itself. Fighting this process can ultimately lead to more suffering than has to be. To survive as a particular form is to suffer to some degree. Because you have separated yourself from yourself. That's the cost of experiencing yourself.

You still have more to go. Discovering there is no self is just one realization/awakening

Regarding specifically the ego -- good points by all. @VeganAwake yes your point about waking up and rendering the ego harmless is a good one. It is paradoxical because as @Highest states - the ego is still part of God and should be loved. God creates the separate self to experience itself through - and it creates all of duality to experience itself through. This should not be overlooked. But this separate self, in order to be separate, must be finite. A finite thing has to survive as a self. Without a sense of self you would be dead. This means the self needs to be selfish to survive. The ego tends to run away with this - seeking pleasure outside itself - but when you awaken to your true nature you see through this because you're consciousness goes through the roof. You go meta on the ego and can be content with just being. Being is what you are fundamentally. This is wisdom. You can still experience yourself plus you filter out all the negative aspects of the ego. Purification.

@DLH very nice!

@LfcCharlie4 thanks for taking the time to shed the light on the matter - im sure it will be quite helpful to everyone. ?❤

Just that it is imaginary. There is nothing physically separating anything. Consciousness fundamentally is mind stuff - that's why the fact that anything exists at all is miraculous. That Infinity is infinity is a miracle. Remember something infinite is EVERYTHING. That includes nothing. Nothing permeates through everything, yanking the ground out from under it and rendering it a dream. So it must imagine separation.

You and the Universe are one and the same. You just haven't had a radical shift in consciousness yet to become conscious of that. Its OK.

Mystical experiences. Non-dual states of consciousness. Look at the chart you laid out. Mystical experiences that revealed to me the nature of all of reality instantaneously. Mystical experiences that revealed that i am pure consciousness / Infinity. Oneness realization. By becoming the Absolute / collapsing the self into Being. Must i go on?

They are not offending me, but it needs to be pointed out so that others reading your posts are not mislead. By no others i am speaking from the Absolute perspective. There is nothing wrong with quoting great masters - but do you have thoughts of your own on such matters? You see, ultimately you can become conscious that you are your own authority, and the need to quote others really goes away, because you are your own authority and can think for yourself.

This is not my direct experience. I had massive awakenings just days into meditation. So it is very relative to the individual.
