@WHO IS ahh...but you see that's the magic of Reality. You are form and so am i. The simple fact that you are form means you are a particular way, just like I'm a "particular" way. We are our own perspectives. We are a particular possibility playing out or being carved out. But at the same time you are still formlessness. Your still the whole thing. A part is still the whole simultaneously. It's just how one wants to look at it. What perspective one takes. Reality is an Absolute relativity. Becoming conscious of that may require Awakening - you have to collapse your form, the ego, into Being, or pure potential.

@ajasatya right. Awareness is reality. And it's what you are. And awareness is made of nothing. Its formless. So whether formlessness creates the illusion of form thru limitation or remains in a state of formlessness doesn't matter. "Reincarnation" in itself is an illusion. All is One.

@Enlightenment notice i didn't say Being was an experience. Ego calls it that.

@Bill W Meditation hours not posts.

@Bill W great question. It's not a belief. But God or Truth cannot be grasped with language. So those without an open mind will twist it into belief Those that have an open mind shall simply take it in with a loving curiosity - and discover it for themselves if they so choose. Except for Mikeal who has been trying for sooo many decades now

@zeroISinfinity

@zeroISinfinity formlessness or Being is indeed Nirvana. But remember Infinity is limitless which includes suffering. The form / duality is the suffering. God is both simultaneously.

@WHO IS you can become directly conscious of Infinity/God/isness/Being/Conscioisness. That is a mystical experience in which you as form collapse into formlessness or Absolute infinity. This will be Actual and the ego/form will indeed dissolve. You will become conscious that you are this (God) and there is no where else to go. You can't escape yourself. Form and formlessness are Absolutely Identical. So after suicide of the form you will collapse into formlesness for eternity. But since eternity is itself and is infinite it will limit itself and you will explore yourself as limited form. It will just keep cycling like this forever and ever. But both are identical and One. So there is no cycle and there is simultaneously.

@moon777light as soon as you "know" anything your ego is going to try and corrupt it. When i started the path it was out of open minded curiosity and nothing more.. But as soon as you begin to "think" about Enlightenment your ego is going to judge, twist it into its own identity, etc That is precisely why Being just IS itself. There is no thought or duality. All form and duality collapse, including this post. There is just pure isness. So when you meditate just quiet the monkey mind. It doesn't matter what you think about enlightenment - it isn't IT. And it doesn't matter anyway once you get there.

@Devansh Saharan two points for the ego! It strikes again. But yeah to echo what others said be present. If you get lost in the past you are getting lost in delusion. Notice something miraculous happens when you are just being....not only do regrets or the past not bother you..they're not even real. They don't exist unless you are thinking about them! They aren't Actual.

@Pouya its beautiful and terrifying. Its all of Infinity. And its you. Just wait...:)

@BMKemp Where do you play video games if you are homeless?

@Western Buddha Have an awakening experience and you will become conscious that he was you. Non-duality will melt away all guilt because everything and everyone is you. You are alone. You had sex with yourself. And all of this is illusion. If that doesn't fix you i don't know what will. Take some 5-meo to get there if you need to. Do whatever it takes.

@Mikael89 you have plenty of time left to do it without that. I did. Others have. im just saying.

@Mikael89 ok fair enough. But to the close minded it is impossible. And also have you leveraged all tools available yet? Hint hint...

@ColdFacts I'm trying to show you that no, It's still the whole thing. You are still all of God. But if that makes it easier to grasp for you right now that's fine. You still have a lot of work ahead. That's not a knock either.

@ColdFacts Look at a finger on your hand. You see it as a finger right? Now look at the finger but shift your perspective or consciousness and see it as the hand itself. This is the magic of God. You can be both simultaneously.

@ColdFacts Absolutely there are folks who never Awaken to themselves. They die completely "assleep". And that's a shame but it is what it is. It doesn't negate anything. All i can do is my part which is to present to you the way it is. You can dispute and argue with me all you want. It doesn't matter. You can become conscious of the Truth if you so desire.

@ColdFacts look at my edit.

@ColdFacts God is completely unlimited. Guess what that includes? Limitation. By being your persepctive, or any formed perspective, you are being God in a limited form. It doesn't mean you arent God simultaneously. See the elegance in this design? Now you can handwave this off as a belief. Im not presenting this to you as a belief. You can discover it for yourself.

@flowboy it's really a key tool in transcending your own ego because the more you are in a state of Being the more in touch with Truth.

@Shaun Self inquiry just points out that you cannot pinpoint yourself anywhere. We think that we are an entity behind the eyes but we can never find this entity because its a fabrication. It has nothing to do with Solipsism.

It sounds like you are growing naturally on your own. Your noticing where your ego is taking over - such as in the need to be right. You are also becoming more aware that humility is counter intuitive to the ego, as is honesty and the need to impress or control others. That is great and just becoming more self aware of these things in one's self is massive growth. We all have some of this. We are all human. But as we align ourselves with Truth we notice that the more of our egoic mind we can strip away, or transcend, the more at peace we will be and the closer to true liberation. So i would say you are growing just fine. Wisdom can often take decades not a few years. I'm sure you do meditation practices since you have been on this site for a long time now and so spirituality is not new to you?

@Shakazulu consciousness or awareness is the substance of everything. And its made of nothing. Another word for consciousness is Infinity, or God. Because its Infinite, its Infinitely Intelligent, and Absolute Love. Another way to look at it is Reality is a Mind, as their is no actual physical world. You as the ego are an idea within this mind. You as the larger self are the entire Mind. Or in other words you are consciousness itself, or God/Infinity. This is a lot to absorb coming from the Materialist Paradigm. We are giving you the secrets to all of reality on a forum post. We are spoiling it right here for you! But this is too radical to take our word for it...don't believe the spoilers! Through mediation and self inquiry you can discover this for yourself through Awakening from the materialist paradigm and to yourself as your true Nature.
