@Jed Vassallo that will be the distant future. A society of mystics (turquoise). Hundreds of years from now "evil" won't exist, as it is a dualty. And the duality of a dream vs not a dream will collapse as well. But towards that end mercy will be shown to the unconscious. They would still have to be jailed until it became total.

@Michael Paul nice! How are you achieving this - through meditation?

@Alex bliss You give it meaning.

@Schahin God needs to experience everything. God doesn't know the difference between good and bad - it just is pure Absolute Goodness which = isness. Infinitely intelligent. So isness/Goodness then divides itself in order to know itself. In that division it had to dumb itself down into finite consciousness and in some cases becomes almost completely unconscious and lost. It is those that are lost that commit "evil", which is a duality. God ultimately will come back to itself as @Michael Paul states - to a state of infinite Love and unification. So yes it is the lost ego; not God's initial intent. God simply wishes to know itself from a place of Love but in order to do that it has to make itself finite and therefore vulnerable. In essence it knows this and it knows that this then must be a feature of itself. But it also knows that ultimately there is only Love and that this too is Love despite what it may seem.

The difference between fake and real is 2nd order. First order just is. Existence.

@Leo Gura yeah it has to imagine them as being fake first.

@Conrad (aka @Highest).... Oh wait...he's online! ..where ya been bro?!

That's a key distinction. I think solo you are gonna have a lot more growth. But teaching others is a different story. Ultimately though, once you awaken to Oneness it shouldn't matter because you are conscious that they are you and everything in the room including the room is you.

@ThomasT One of the biggest (because it is usually the first, and was for me) is to realize that you are the nowhere - you are the container That's awesome about making yourself financially independent to focus on this. There is nothing bigger. Good luck on your path.

This is exactly what happens. The real You is God. You also can notice that you are the bed as well as the room.

Does your ego come back changed even if slightly? What have you become conscious of through your breakthroughs?

Beaitiful descriptions. Of course in the end all of these are relative descriptions - because the Absolute is the absence of description. So the fully enlightened isn't even here among the relative to describe it. They aren't even fully enlightened - they just ARE. Even that is saying too much. To say, period, is too much.

@How to be wise I'm sure she would be flattered to know she is your profile pic.

@Aakash Wouldn't surprise me a bit if that were the case. I just haven't taken them personally so i can't verify directly. But many others here and not here have. So one should look at all tools.

@How to be wise I'm glad there are people like you guys on the forum to help a lot of these guys know that meditation can definitely work. I never used pyschedelics and it worked great for me. Everyone is different and should try the available tools in the proper order. Meditation / yoga should always be first imo.

This post is for all the past and present homies at Actualized.org

@Barna yep - because judging is creating dualities.

If you are referring to a mystical experience the two terms mean the same thing really. The ego collapses. You're body is still there but you will be the Mind at that point, not the mind

Yes they sound legit. A mystical experience in itself is the dissolution of the ego - because you literally become the Truth itself. So to become directly conscious of Truth is Being it. Everything else is 2nd order. First order is Being. Ego is actually 2nd order. You can have other relative insights but they are concept and thus 2nd order. Now - you may or may not have ego backlash after a mystical experience but ego death is imminent even if it is so fast you don't realize it.

I was just gonna say that. I hope we see him again soon. But he recognized that this was becoming a distraction for him on his path. Some if these other names haven't been gone all too long - maybe they went on holiday

They do - simultaneously as you do. Because its God dreaming them and dreaming that it is being them individually and holistically (dreaming the whole thing) simultaneously. And since you are God..... Yes this can be scary at first that everything is One. But all ya have to do is imagine duality and poof you got it

@Ibn Sina Absolute reality is pure isness which is formless. The formless is Infinite. But its like an eye that cannot see itself - so it creates division to experience itself. It imagines or dreams up divison. Division is form. This is your reality currently as the ego. It is relative and finite. But you can still imagine up your own stuff. So the content of your dreams exist within this dream which is reality/duality/form - which exist within Absolute reality/formless/non-duality. So they are nested within each other with the container being the Absolute.. yet simultaneously all are One. Here's the kicker..the whole damn thing is You! You're all that there is and ever will be.

I'm not disputing this..but there are probably many monks that have never actually had a mystical experience. It's just par for the course..for some people it takes 2 weeks and for some it takes 50 years. But i don't think monks are given the tool of pyschedelics.

@Alex bliss the teachings here cover all the tools you need to awaken. You just have to go about it strategically and responsibly - and maturely. You're actually getting deeper teachings here than from a monk.

@Alex bliss it does - it will transform your entire life - but you'll have to put the work in.
