Indeed it is also amazing to see that a teaching that is a thousand years old nailed the essence of reality. Its amazing. But we must remember it is still a teaching -not Truth or the Absolute itself. It presents Truth in its own relative way. This can only be discovered by becoming Truth itself - then one can see how all such teachings ultimately point to Truth. So it is a map to the territory. There are many different flavors of maps that can point you to the same territory. (Well, not very many at all actually) and notice i said point. To get to the territory you must become it.

@SoonHei i should say as far as it is known thus far. Who knows on one of Leos DPT trips he may be able to enter the Godhead and tap into another's consciousness There is no limit to the limitless.

@SoonHei indeed.. much love my friend

Now in either perspective you dont enter another's consciousness. This is because from the ego's perspective you are limited by design. If you could be another's consciousness you would stop being you and you would be that thing. And from God's perspective in form - the giant Mind - all perspectives are being imagined by God so no need to enter a mind of something being dreamed by you. So the only way you can know and be all perspectives and none simultaneously is to be pure Being or pure Potential. And thats as pure potential not form.

Great topic guys. There is also a perspective you can take apon Awakening to Oneness that is God's perspective. Not the formless or pure Being. But the Godheads Mind in form. From this amazing perspective you can be directly conscious that you as God are imagining all of this. From this perspective all of you are my imagination. It's really something special when you Awaken to this. It's a whole other level of consciousness.

@Nahm great answer.

What did it for me and others here was Leo's enlightenment videos where he goes into self inquiry. Start with his first one and go from there. They cover and answer all your questions. They have awoken or led to mystical experiences for multiple people on this forum. They're that powerful.

@Chi_ yeah and also mystics that have awoke without pyschedelics won't see a need for them. Its relative of course.

Guilt has torn me a new one many times in my life. But it's not your fault as to whether they are successful or not successful - happy or unhappy in their own lives and projecting onto you. It's not fair to torture yourself over them. So you will have to try to find a way to let that go. One way is to realize when you are feeling that way - go meta - let it pass through like any emotion and move on. Eventually it will pass because you are self aware of what is happening.

@Psyche_92 look inside and find the answer as to why you feel scared about your own success after seeing that they seemingly don't want you to succeed or seem jealous. Or perhaps scared you will be more successful than them. is it guilt or love for them that you don't want to appear better than them?

@Psyche_92 This will pass with more consciousness and growth as well as being comfortable in your own skin. What others think will have zero affect on you whatsoever. Right now they're affecting you not because of them - but because of you. The reality is there is no them. There is only you as God. They are being imagined by you. So this is all within yourself and it will require inner work on your part. That may be a painful realization because we want to place blame on others. But in the end it is you that is feeling this way and only you can change it.

Agreed with others. I do sometimes enjoy music while meditating as it seems to awaken Love or heart chakra.

@tedens misspelled its actually shebang but it means the whole dang thing!

@CreamCat even one who owns their own business can't escape it. He must abide by the laws of the Government. He has a vote but he cannot control what his President is going to do next.

@Pouya yes everything is relative in duality. Duality is relativitism. And non-duality is Absolutism. But remember that relativism/duality is within non-duality/Absolutism so you are actually both the Absolute and the relative right now. You are both Infinite and finite simultaneously!

@Anton_Pierre it's even nicer when you Awaken and discover you were imagining them the whole time and you are the whole shebang. That one will blow you away.

@Pacific Sage at the end of the day you really need to meditate, do consciousness work, and look inwards not outwards to a bearded guy in the sky. You are God!

@tedens Love will awaken you.

@Mikael89 without even listening to this and i will. That's exactly right. That is the strange loop when you try to be the Absolute from the relative. You see that it is somehow both. The paradox. But from the Absolute it just is itself

@Anna1 indeed Oneness or Absolute Inifnity is never contradicted here. It is never stated here that Maya or Ishvara which wields Maya is not Brahman. Brahman manifests Maya. There is only One. Absolute Infinity. Once Brahman splits into duality one can view Ishvara as a separate entity because that is what relativity is. But Absolute awareness is itself and has no where to go. It is all things. Theories as to why it becomes form or why Maya creates God which creates the universe are immaterial to this discussion because it is all One.

@Anna1 if power is Brahman then when power dissolves there is only Brahman that is the same as saying Brahman was disguising itself as power. The two statements are identical.

I grasp it. But That power IS Brahman. It all comes from One source. That cannot be escaped without saying the power is not Brahman but a separate entity. So in the the end what is being taught is the same just in a different way. And that's how it MUST be in realm of the relative.

@Preetom we are talking about the same thing then. Truth. Anna and i have had this discussion before. We should not try to make it something separate from what is being taught here. It is One. Brhaman/awareness is God because it creates God. There aren't two separate things unless you make it so.

@Anna1 According to the teaching - is God/Isvara created by Brahman as well? or was God always separate? If Brahman created God and God created the world then these are dualities that sprung from Brahman or non-duality (pure awareness) They can be seen as separate or they can be seen as the same as the underlying substance is the same - all is One. Beyond all teachings One can see the world as still Awareness and Awareness still the world. That is what you become conscious of as an Absolute on Awakening. There is no teaching for this. It is just Absolute Truth. That is Oneness - Infinity. I did not learn this from anyone i became it and learned it from my myself.

@Aakash And you are right if you do teach it. Duality city. We should go as far as we can go with language but we need to be conscious of it's limitations. RIght now we are in duality otherwise there would just be isness. There would not be an Aakash or a Preetum.
