Hard to say, everyone's experience is different so what is normal? Perhaps it will pass. I sleep like a log so i can't say...You may have a talent for lucid dreaming - there are many posts about it in the forum.

@Fede83 awesome! You only have yourself to thank ❤?

They are virtual partitions in consciousness. Some are smaller partitions and some are larger. And some partitions can expand themselves some can hack the OS and access the whole drive

@Wonderer great job this is transcending your ego - being free of it and not a slave of it. Transcending the ego requires higher consciousness and going meta - being aware and catching your ego behaving in a certain way mechanically and then countering. It's very counterintuitive

I have discovered this to be very true as well. I had a mystical experience once right on the forum while talking about it. Of course the guy i was talking to couldn't believe it as he was a materialist but it is what it is

@SoonHei ❤❤

That is still a division between form (Mind) and formlessness (the Absolute). Ultimately it is One. But yes God has it's own perspective in form.

@petar8p ❤?

Look at this way guys. Nothing is real unless you imagine it to be..because there is no physical reality. There is only mind stuff. And mind stuff is nothing fundamentally. That's infinity for you. And its a paradox at its very core because there is no core. Our minds will try to rationalize this until the cows come home and we will keep going in circles. Requires an awakening to really grasp. Why? Because you ARE it! You ARE infinity! You just have to become conscious of it.

Right. The Self with a capital T is imagining all of this. Your small self has a smaller subset of imagination but fundamentally it works the same way. If you stop imagining your grandma right now - since she is merely an idea - she literally does not exist anymore from your perspective. If you as God (the universal Mind) stops imagining or "kills" off the idea of your grandmother than she stops existing other than as concept or memory in your finite mind. It can imagine anything it wants into or out of existence.

@Cody_Atzori i understand this quite well. After experiencing non-dual states and existential realizations into the nature of reality - duality becomes awfully mundane. On the other hand try to stay conscious that duality is still non-duality and can be looked at from a different perspective. If you make this adjustment you will see the beauty in duality and no longer see your current day to day stuff as mundane. Then you can regain passion for it and finish up school. At the same time you can begin working towards whatever life purpose you ultimately want - whether its being a Sage or something else - in tandem. Good luck ❤

I will use the word Truth. But God and Truth are synonymous. It depends on where along the path that person is. There are different realizations (i.e awakenings) or facets of Truth that one that pursues Truth can have. But the key here is that Truth is not a belief. It is actuality or isness/being itself. One who has had direct experience of Truth does not look at it as concept or belief. It is prior to all of that. On the contrary, the atheist has the belief or worldview that God doesn't exist while the theist believes there is a God. Someone who pursues non-duality but hasn't had direct experience of it should be careful not to take it on as dogma or belief either, but instead should work to find out for themselves. Thus do not take what any of us tell you about Truth to be Truth itself, or to take it as a belief. The key lies in a direct mystical experience of it. I hope that helps.

@Tom T join a gym - preferably one with a sauna and a steam room. Do some weights and cardio - then sit in the sauna and take a cold shower after. You will feel great!

I think what @Serotoninluv is pointing to when he says Everything is Infinity. And one can become directly conscious that reality = Infinity. Infinity = God. God = Being = Absolute Love and Absolute Divinity. All form (every thing) is both within God, part of God, but also identical or = to God/Infinity. In order to take a form, Infinity/God must be formless (nothing). Thus formless = form. The finger is part of the hand but simultaneously is the hand. There is no such thing as not a thing because not a thing is in your mind as a concept. Thats why one can't grasp Infinity with the mind. So relative to what you take Pantheism to truly mean would answer as to how accurate it is in describing the nature of reality. It is relative or course as all language is. As Einsten points out language cannot capture Being. Form must collapse into Formlessness or Being to grasp it because it is Being itself. Requires an awakening.

@Nahm Behold the paradox that is reality! It is so mind bending and infinite ?❤

Nor did i. You wouldn't as your limited self because then you would stop being you and you would be your grandma. But as you i had a mystical experience in which my consciousness was so elevated that i became directly conscious that i was everyone else. It made me sick and depressed actually for a few days until i returned to normal consciousness. I could barely function... That feeling passed. It would be hard to function being directly conscious that you are everyone. But in a sense this realization is also peaceful.

Great inquiry this is the ultimate question. I can say this. You can have the realization or awakening mystically that everything is consciousness. Its a giant mind. You can have the realizaton or awakening that everything is One. That you are also every other conscious Being on the planet. This means that at some point you will experience what its like to be every other being. You will experience what it is like to be your grandmother because, well, you ARE your grandmother. Its radical and its scary. All of these dimensions or perspectives are happening simultaneously. As nuts as it sounds I have had both of these. You can say I'm deluded if you want to - i wouldn't blame you one bit. So your grandmother exists but its just as imagination - and its you imagining you are her but in a simultaneous dimension. You are looking back at yourself when you talk to your grandmother. The freakiest part is that you are imagining all of it as God simultaneously including your little self. Ta da!

@Philipp it's not that nothing matters its that material desires are seen for what they are. Shallow and false just like the ego. You would have to go back to being unconscious to live that lifestyle again. (You can fool yourself but at the end of the day from the Absolute perspective you know what is reallly going on). You have seen through all of reality. So it's not that its depressing or dark - In fact reality becomes more beaitiful. Just looking around your room becomes magical. Everything is magical. And everything is you so you take a deeper interest in "yourself" from a higher POV.

This is true. You won't have any desire to go back to this stuff afterwards. Do this stuff now and get it all out of your system.

@Nadosa it sounds like an identity crisis. And ego backlash. You are aware of your true nature now but your ego refuses to accept it. Try easing your ego into the fact that it is just a backstory You're truest nature is that you are consciousness or awareness itself. So when you are meditating and wondering where the i is just embrace that you are simply pure consciousness. You are eternal and formless. It's beautiful and elegant. Just be at peace with that. It may take some time but these feelings will pass. It is still very fresh.

Ignorance is bliss

This. The aloneness is from the Godhead perspective. God has its own perspective. The giant Mind imagining this whole thing - including little you. And the giant Mind is You.

@Harikrishnan it wasn't his ego that imagined that it was him as God. I believe that if he used mysticism to become omniscient he could potentially have healed himself. I have not healed yet but i have had mystical experiences where some real amazing things happened so i believe healing is totally possible. So perhaps he didn't reach that level or he had no fear of death thus had no desire to heal "himself" as he knew he was God.

@Identity In a sense because you ARE the Absolute - you are the whole but you are also the part. But right now in your finite form you are the part trying to make sense of the whole. Paradoxically as the part, you are also the whole simultaneously. In fact the two are the same - or One. The whole is the formless (pure Being) and the part is the form - ie thought, understanding, and rationality. So it is as if you are trying to make sense of yourself from yourself. The finger is trying to point back at itself but it can't because it IS itself!
