@Scholar that's right. Thats why the formless must become form in order to be itself and to know itself. It's not even silence. Silence is something

@mandyjw haven't read all of this yet... by the looks of it not sure i need to LOL. But it's definitely not bullshit. It's the essence of everything. So don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your love is real!

When we typically talk about Love we are talking about relative love. Because we as Egos are relative. Everything is relative to our perspective, including Love. Nothing wrong with that but we have to be conscious that it's just a part of the whole.

To be honest the Buddha or any enlightened being is beyond stages in that stages are dualistic. So from a dualistic perspective you could place him or any enlightened person into a stage but that will always be relative. The Buddha became the Absolute. Stages cannot go there.

There isn't any problem with science. Science can reveal a lot about Reality because reality literally dreamt it up. You notice this especially after you awaken. The way light can be a particle or a wave relative the observer and how they are observing it. Quantum tunneling in which protons pass through seemingly impossible barriers - this sounds very familiar...like what? Like mysticism And much more. So there isn't a problem with science it is just that the scientists themselves have to evolve and comprehend the philosophical and epistemic ramifications of these discoveries. We aren't there yet. Science is within reality. It cannot capture all of reality. But most think it still can - that is the problem. You cannot grasp the whole from the part. You must pass through that impossible barrier

@Peo you can't try..just Be.

@Onecirrus you actually may have hit a non-dual state or had a glimpse even it was very brief. What you described indicates that. The bliss is the feeling of the ego beginning to collapse or extract itself from Being leaving only Being or the formless. God in a state of Being is nirvana (it's all nirvana but this is a mystical shift causing extreme feelings of love and bliss.) You were the Infinity of infinity - the whole rather than the part. Even if for just a few moments. You became pure Isness or Being. You can't will it back. But stick to the practices. Keep meditating. Keep listening to Tolle. Keep listening to Leo. Keep contemplating and notice your consciousness expand. Very nice to hear. God has no judgements.

Solipsism is relative. The Absolute is the Absolute. One can make their own relative perspective all that there is by believing that's all their is (everything is in their mind) and it becomes real for them. But don't discount imagining that their are other perspectives. Imagination is part of Infinity too. Becoming the Absolute reveals the Absolute. But reality is so Infinite that one can make the relative the Absolute from their relative perspective. So it's both. Ta da!

@Shaun only for a finite time

@SoonHei God is the ultimate chameleon

Its all One. The part is still the whole.

One can shift awareness from their dual perspective to God's perspective (in the form) . One then has full, whole awareness. This whole awareness allows one to be conscious that all of reality is in One's mind. Every being, object, everything is all in your Mind. The Mind of God. This is Oneness. Once one has such whole awareness they are no longer troubled by the games of duality. Instead they can still dwell in that dual or "part" awareness if they so choose but with joyful play. Afterall, God made it all up. You made it all up.

@TheOne One word. Infinity.

@Truth Addict when that day dawns we shouldn't need Mods

It's a delicate balance and there are no Absolutes in the realm of the relative. We can sure use a little more Love around here. (From every one of us) Everything is done here from a place of Love but there may be improved ways of doing it so that the Love is more apparent. Leo mentioned he is working with the Mods to strike a balance. We'll evolve. We must!

@Shaun that is all form - imagination. The present moment is the formless - it can't be captured. Can only BE it.

@WorknMan precisely. Thats precisely because you are you. If you could do that you would stop being you and you would be him. Relative vs Absolute.

@ElvisN If reality is Infinity, and it has an infinite amount of parts, then how could it not be possible for some parts to realize they are the whole without 'psychedelics". There are infinite possibilities.

@WorknMan You are the whole Mind (God) as well as this small slither of the mind (your finite perspective). This is hard to see right now precisely because you have not Awakened yet. Once you awaken you see through the illusion of the small self. When that happens - through mysticism - the small self collapses and you discover that you are the whole Mind / God. You discover it by Being it. You are being it (meaning you are God) right now you just aren't conscious of it yet. With Awakening or Enlightenment you become conscious that the part (your little perspective) and the whole - the Mind itself or God as the formless - are One.

Reality is a Mind (consciousness) imagining itself though different perspectives. You are one of those perspectives. So the brain is imagination..the body is imagination..you as a human is imagination. Nothing is really happening inside your brain, that is just imagination. Everything is imagination. Fundamentally you are just consciousness itself.

I think he might of been referring to the section of the episode referring to your direct experience on earth and it appearing that you are not moving while the earth is spinning but relative to you you're standing still. So he was conflating that direct experience (the relative )with the Absolute. Aint no mistaking the Absolute. You become it. You ARE it.

@EvilAngel Your ego is coming in right now and twisting concept for its own devilish needs. Try to see through that. It's hard to transcend yourself. But its possible. Concept is relative to perspective. Of course once you become the Absolute you'll be conscious of this.

@Joseph Maynor Relativity baby.

Ill add that a paradox is also One. @EvilAngel Being One aint so bad. Just takes getting used to.

@Joseph Maynor it's pretty darn good that's why i asked.
