Umm..you ARE reality. And you can know this directly by fucking being the damn thing.

There's no going back when you wake up to this reality being a dream. But you are so much more conscious than before that looking at your life before is a friggin joke.

It's selfishness. Lose the self and lose suffering. The fear of death evaporates because there is no one to die.

I concur with all that you have said. I would just add that all beings are God (enlightened) but not all beings are conscious that they are God. God is indeed pure Being. Becoming conscious that they are God is when consciousness becomes conscious that it is consciousness and a mystical oneness occurs. Thus being and knowing are paradoxically entangled due to oneness. It cannot escape its own Infinity.

It comes down to this. Meaning is relative from the Absolute perspective. But there are Absolutes. Absolute Love and Goodness. Once one becomes conscious of the Absolute the Absolute will guide them in the domain of the relative. The Absolute lives through the relative.

Shift your consciousness - being you is Infinity doing Infinity! This is Infinity right here! Someone HAS to be you..and its you! You can know - its waking up. In which you do collapse one possibility (your finitude) into the superposition (infinity)

You can discover that time is being imagined by Infinite Consciousness aka God. So it exists in the relative domain. The Absolute is just nowness, isness, the present moment. So time exists within the Absolute as something it is imagining. Infinity or the Absolute is a shapeshifter so fundamentally it is nothing. Of course as always don't take anyone's word or take this as a belief. Discover whats True for yourself. The ultimate is to discover you are the whole thing.

@Raw Nature nice words. Its like God. God has nowhere to go because it's already everywhere. It has to create the illusion of going somewhere by forgetting it is everywhere.

@Anton Rogachevski you can't grasp the infinite from the finite. But as infinity you make the finite.

@Llight When you realize the very top is relative...you have hit the very top. Or have you? At that juncture the very top becomes meaningless. But that is from the Absolute POV. We must create our meaning based on consensus since formed reality is absolutely relative. And my vote is my man @Serotoninluv is a solid turquoise...heed his words carefully ❤??

Hehe..nothing... can't keep me from a good steak ??

Thanks. ?

@Red-White-Light Yeah when I had my awakening experiences I knew instantaneously that it was the same thing - i was like holy fuck this is Depersonalization! however i believe it is lacking the Bliss and the Love and the realizations that come with enlightenment and the elevated consciousness levels. Shinzen Young calls it enlightenment's evil twin because it's like only half the story.

i wouldn't think his current mental or physical healfh would have anything to do with his philosophy or worldview. I hope gets back on his feet it sounds like he is going through a really tough time. Who knows maybe it will counter intuitively lead him to enlightenment.

The movie projector really is a great analogy so I'm not gonna recreate the wheel. But if you take a movie reel and see it as One - that's God in its purest form. This is everything at once as pure potential. So from that sense it knows itself all at once. But it doesn't know itself experientially. But in order to know itself experientially it needs to play through each slide in a linear fashion. This will go on forever, since it is Infinite. And the dance of Consciousness is the dividing of itself into the separate slides and then unifying back with the whole reel which goes on forever as well.

I think it was accurate, having been in many relationships over the years. Us men are much more explicit then implicit. We want things spelled out to us and we are extremely literal. A lot of times i find myself saying to my wife "but you said such and such" and she says "well that's not what i meant" or something along those lines lol. So you have to get better at this part of your thinking in order to get better at understanding a woman's perspective. And thats the key - being able to jump between perspectives and going meta. Women on the other hand are much more intuitive. They read between the lines of what the guy is saying. They sense body language, the can sense the guys level of confidence and goodness etc. Not that they can't be wrong, hehe. Happens all the time. But the point is they go with what they feel intuitively more than from the words that they hear coming from the guy. Dont get me wrong - explicit still plays a role. If you come up to her and say something completely stupid it probably will backfire on you pretty quick.

@arlin. The point of the journey is to discover who you really are. Once the Absolute is discovered all will flow naturally. Absolute Love and Goodness will guide you.

Its such a great question. God was tripping ballz when he made the ego..i.e. you were trippin ballz lol. But seriously... Its all survival my friend - and fear is survival Survival is selfishnes. Pleasure is survival. Depression left unchecked will kill you. If God put limits on the ego it would be selfish of him. And we'de probably all be dead. From God's POV it doesn't matter because its all Love and it is experiencing itself through you.

@electroBeam that's very interesting thanks for explaining more. Dont get me wrong i also experienced a bout of depression as well especially when i discovered the self was an illusion. it wasn't all biscuits and gravy for me either ?

@electroBeam okay then it seemed you may have answered your own question! I haven't heard of manic episodes happening like that but its certainly feasible. i have experienced the feeling of losing my mind when i became directly conscious of Oneness. But that was after a mystical state (and complete ego death) in which my consciousness levels were elevated. My awakening happened after 4-5 of these such states over a few month period. I have not had any backlash since because even when i meditate i don't hit mystical states anymore. At least not since. I don't really need to though. That's why something seemed off to me.

@fi1ghtclub very cool :)??

I didn't say it was Bipolar for sure...i just gave my opinion to get it checked out.

Duplicate thread

Really as Leo said part of becoming more conscious is to Love and accept yourself the way you are and to see you are already perfect. It is worrying about what others think of you and how they perceive you. And that's all an illusion. And you will never be satisfied if you chase happiness externally by trying to change your physical appearance. Happiness is found within.

@tenta that kid doesn't even look smart enough to flip a coin let alone make a magic trick of it lol....they should have picked someone who knew how to flip a coin, yeah..but to say with certainty that it was cheating...nah...the guy says "even if it was rigged by accident" lol....how do you rig by accident...he goes back to past stuff and accuses without enough evidence...he even states that he is calling em guilty just based on what happened in 2016.
