To me it's all imagination. Just different layers or levels. So i think he is referring to God's imagination, which is boundless, and can manifest anything at will instantaneously. This could include spirits and the paranomal. Then there is limited imagination - or the finite version of God - the ego. The ego has a limited form of imagination but cannot will things into Being or create spirits other than within its own mind - it can't manifest them so that they are available within the Infinite Mind for all finite Minds to see. That's the point of being limited. So Real = God's imagination vs unreal = ego's imagination. But you see its all imagination and the egos Mind or finite Mind lives within the Infinite Mind. So to be "deluded" is to confuse God's imagination with your limited one.

Nothing = everything = infinity.

@cetus56 nothing + everything = Infinity.

We are all Ghosts my friend. We are nothing. There is nothing here.

@Nahm? ?❤

@Aakash well notice we are entering paradoxical territory here because there is no difference between real or imaginary - or duality and non-duality. They're identical at the highest levels. In other words whether its God's mind or your mind it is One. how's that for a mindfuck.

I think the key distinction here is - is the paranomal directly experienced in a non-dual state. The answer is no because a non-dual state is a state of pure Being - formlessness. Note that Reality is a Mind. Therefore everything is imagination. It is all imagined by God. There is no difference between imaginary and real. Those are dualities. Once this is realized and the materialist paradigm shattered, all things are possible. There are different levels of consciousness. There are levels of dual consciousness (the relative or form) and there is Absolute non-dual consciousness. Non-dual consciousness is pure Actuality - the present moment. The paranormal must exist in dual consciousness - but if it exists it does so at a totally different level of consciousness then the average human level. Therefore since the paranomal dwells within form or relative consciousness it is highly subject to delusion and can be a big trap of the ego - because you are still the ego at this level of consciousness. I am open minded to the fact that the paranormal exists - because again - since reality is a mind there is no difference between imagination and reality. it must exist at a highly elevated level and one must be very careful not to fall into a trap of the ego here. I'm sure many do.

To add to my comment in a complete non-dual state the ego collapses so there isn't an ego there to be deluded. You are complete Infinity aka God consciousness at that point. It is pure actuality.

My awakenings were natural. But as Martin Ball said in his interview with Leo.. you can tell when something is Actuality or not. Whether on or off pyschedelics this is probably the case. When one has an actual mystical experience it is Actual and the difference is clear. There is no denying it. The ego actually dissolves in a complete non-dual state. It isn't there.

That's it. Its a cycle of God remembering, forgetting, then remembering again. When you participate in duality you are essentially forgetting on purpose. It's an imagination game

The self reference problem. The finger cannot point back at itself because it is itself. It must divide itself in order to experience/know itself. So it creates its own witness from itself. It is both divided and One simultaneously.

@capriciousduck you really can't grasp Infinity from your finite vantage point. You need a shift in consciousness - a mystical shift in which you become Infinite. Then you will be conscious of it. But not as you.

@DoTheWork this is exactly what happens. This is the price your finite self pays for understanding all of reality. You will go through months in which, because there is no more fear of death that you will be on such a constant state of bliss that you can care less whether you live or die. The mundane will no longer matter to you. You could end up actually endangering your self because you have transcended both survival and death as God. Furthermore everyone is you. You will have to reach deep and come full circle back to caring for your own dualistic and finite survival. This is because as God you also love your finite self and you love duality. So you have to go back to immersing yourself in duality. It's not that hard really.

@AlexHe both plays and doesn't play. He is the game.

It's paradoxical. Its all One so it matters not to God. God is awake but then fools himself into forgetting. The part is the whole. Doesn't matter if one part remembers and another part doesn't. It's One. That's you.

@Consilience beautiful. Happy for ya. Keep going it gets deeper , infinitely deeper

@tsuki well said. Yes coming full circle is a wonderful thing. Also i have come to know that making this place better is beyond our egoic control. You will wear yourself down though you have a burning desire to teach others and help them to awaken. I know where you are at completely. But its just a forum. It won't become a full blown spiritual school because paradoxically there is way too much ego here. So take it for what it is Leo is a good guy. He is very awake. Who are we to judge what he directly experiences or not. Best not to lose ourselves to worrying about the validity of others experiences. For me it suffices that i have discovered Truth for myself. For me it suffices that i am indeed all things

I had a Kundalini awakening. It is the collapse of the illusion into Being. It is Being. It is Bliss. It is Love. It supersedes all language - nay - it encompasses all language and thought. It IS. Once you are opened up you are opened up. Being can flow through you at any time. Best not to plan for it because it comes when it wants to or when you align with Love.

The ego - you - dissolves and you become your true nature. Your true nature is non-dual - Oneness. This Oneness is Divine. It is pure Being. It is God awakening to itself. As you - God -awakens - certain realizations shall enter you as direct consciousness and you ARE these realizations. For example you will become directly aware of all of Reality. You wont have to think it - you will know and be it instantaneously. It is prior to human thought. You are Truth itself. In this state you ARE consciousness - you are the whole of consciousness. It is mystical and divine. It is paradoxical. It defies all logic and rationality because it is Infinite. Good luck!

Actually this was a very powerful technique for me when i paired it with self inquiry. Sitting and just being is much, much more powerful than you know because you are aligning with Being itself. You can mix it up and go meta on your thoughts - acknowledge them as thoughts and then let them go - returning to no mind. You can also sit and try not to think for as long as you can. Ultimately you will burst into thought - just like formlessness ultimately bursts into form. Good luck on the path!

Free yourself of the concept that you are the body. You are no more the body than you are your coffee table. You are NOT the body. That is an illusion.

That's Ok. You don't need to dissatch during the day in duality you just need to remove the I during mediation and you can hit a non-dual state.

@AlphaAbundance you deal with it like this. What are you? Can you point to it? Tell me what you are definitely right now. What are you ? Really?

@AlphaAbundance like noticing you aren't you dude There is no you. For real. You are actually nothing. You are just awareness..
