@Anna1 would love to hear your perspective. What i have become conscious of is that free will and no free will are dualities so when collapsed there is only Infinity. Can't be free will from Gods perspective. There there is just formlessness and everything that ever happened or didnt happen is contained within but as pure potential.. nothingness. But then he creates dualities through form..he creates your perspective (which is still him) and he gives you free will....Or so it seems, from your perspective! It's brilliant! Of course again i use "he" metaphorically for God or Awareness. Or absolute Infinity.

@Hellspeed not exactly. Remember the Ego itself is still a finitude of infinity. Therefore its still Infinity. Its still God. It's just God being the devil so to speak. And it's a perspective within Infinity. Another way to look at it is Infinity is a Mind, since its substance is nothing. And this Mind dreams up ideas, or form. Your perspective / your ego, is one of those ideas inside this Mind. But its still the whole Mind at the same time. Absolute Infinity - AKA God - is absolutely everything. There's nothing outside of it and you can become directly conscious of this via a mystical experience. Just like you can become conscious of Absolute Love. That's why they are Absolutes. You wouldn't say Absolute Love is a delusion.

@Nathan J you are right where ya wanna be then All alone and at complete peace with that.

@Shadowraix yup it all depends on perspective. From your perspective, the relative one, you have free will. But from the Absolute perspective there is only Being.

@Bufo Alvarius but remember you as Infinity or God also in its Infinite intelligence has a grand design and that design is to discover himself as himself. Over and over and over again to Infinity forever.

@Bufo Alvarius that's what's going on here Is your mind sufficiently blown yet?

@abrakamowse yeah good to put that out there. i use the term "he" a lot but i don't mean a bearded guy in the sky. It's just a metaphor. Can't really capture God with words.

@Nahm indeed it is all One. There is only One.

@Bufo Alvarius you got it. He speaks from the highest perspective.

@Bufo Alvarius he has to trick himself. But not just that..he has to fall for the trick! And guess what - he's infinite so he can do that!

@Bufo Alvarius haha that is just it. God or you, is Infinitely intelligent. So yes from his Absolute Perspective he already knows himself. But wouldn't it get boring for God to not explore himself again and again to infinity? Afterall all he has IS himself. So he has to trick himself. Now trying to wrap your finite mind around this is tough. If your mind just melted don't feel bad mine did too. Becoming yourself will make it clear.

@Bufo Alvarius it's a mindfuck but from Gods perspective, from the Absolute Perspective, there is only Being which is formless. In that formlessness yes you have already posted this and not posted it an infinite amount of times. But God wants to actually carve something out so it can know itself You are that which is being carved out now as you be your perspective. It's a mind fuck because Reality is ONLY perspectives. It's an Absolute relativity.

@Shin LOL. Yes it is...

That's the plan

@Shin Keep suffering Stop doing something or multiple things that is feeding you pleasure. This will result in suffering. For example do you have any addictions? Try not doing the addiction (which gives you pleasure) for 30 days. After even a few days or a week you will feel the suffering. You don't have to answer the addiction question of course it was rhetorical.

@Shin then there is your answer. Now keep doing that. It aint quite enough yet.

@Shin that's how Total this thing is. But have you ever suffered? Suffering is growth in this work. What about Leo's suggestion of a 30 day solo retreat. That can't be all pleasure

@Rilles if it was a true experience when he fully integrates back into his ego the ego will feel the backlash. He could remain in a state of bliss for weeks though, just depends.

@mandyjw yup..and intuition....and even the part of your ego that is inherently self deceptive will try to counter that too. So ya just have to go with your intuition. Ego just wants pleasure.. "aww come on man, you don't wanna meditate today, it's boring. Lets play video games!" That love and courage you mentioned is still a part of Absolute Love

@ivankiss Awesome! Love it!

@Shiva yup, everything is Ego until it's not

Yes the Ego is so Total in its self deception than it cannot perceive or comprehend non-existence. It fears it. Even though non-existence is happening right now - right on top of existence. It fears death, which in reality there is no such thing - you are Infinite right now - you cannot escape yourself - (or infinity) because you are actually God/Infinity as a part of Infinity/God or a part of itself. Consciousness minus the ego/formed is Absolute Infinity - if is formless. It is Being. There are no dualities or distinctions there. There is no survival or non-survival. So if you meditate and do self inquiry and other techniques long enough a mystical experience will occur and you will become only formless. You as the ego shall dissolve. You will no longer be the ego. And you will experience Being as Being. This is the ultimate Bliss. Better than a heroin high. Anyone out there who has not had a mystical experience after years of this may want to ponder using pyschedelics as a tool to speed the process. This was a lengthy reply but i felt the question needed a lengthy explanation.

I do because with the discovery of Truth you will find yourself at a much higher level of consciousness and your ability then to grow as a human being will really begin to open up. From a SD perspective yes you can move to higher stages more effortlessly once you have discovered Truth. It doesn't propel you to Turquoise immediately although in a sense it does. But you will still have earlier stages in you that you will need to work through
