Haha thanks man. He should actually be honored he has guys like you on his forum. You have enriched this place like none of us could. It's your zest for life and for understanding. It just radiates from you.

You love that duality 😀 but you're absolutely right.

Yeah that's a crazy thing when you think about the ego mind having no control over God's mind, but at the same time it's the same mind. It's just what state that mind is in. It's always refreshing whether you have control over certain things or not that it's still all you. You have a real messed up sense of entertainment though. But I guess that's your love of everything.

Not where am I- what am i..and what is this..and are the two the same. Of course the answer can be found....its.mysteriousness itself. So I guess that's mysterious!

Actually at the Absolute level it is real, because it exists. Even delusion is real. There is nothing unreal because non-existence doesn't exist...lol..it does exist as a concept so I guess on that sense even non-existence is also real - but as a concept.

When he speaks of in the Absolute sense of fhe nature of reality he isn't talking about nothing as it relates to a nothing in a conceptual nature - like nothing being an empty "space" or a void as you would think of it in science. This is a nothing that can't be thought of. Outside time and space, but it exists.

Yep. The way I see it real and imaginary or real and illusory are a duality that collapses. So what you imagine to be real actually is real. There isn't a difference unless you expand the duality again and make s distinction. This can be useful at times too - it's kind of like going meta when you want to.

We can always take you to a strip club and you can get a dance or two there But seriously very nicely articulated. I agree you are in control of your own destiny. Because who else would be? The reality you shape is the reality you experience. If you want the dream to turn into a nightmare it can. Or you can make it a wonderful dream. Totally dependent on your outlook. Things may happen out or your control that makes it harder to stay positive but it still can be done. I like your optimism.

Yeah that's what I do exactly. Because imagination is reality. But I would still consider that the second option.

@Osaid lets just be honest. When in one of your night time dreams it seems completely real until you become lucid. Once lucid do you not realize that it's just all you playing with yourself? The meaning, at that point, is your choice. You can choose to give the dream meaning or you cannot. The choice is yours. This reality is no different. It just seems so much more real than a night time dream. But it's made of the same substance as those. Nothing.

That's still knowing. You aren't going to escape your own mind. You can't. You're too smart to be dumb. You can, however, dumb yourself down.

That's option 2

I mean it like this - You have awoken. So now- the gig is up. You are lucid dreaming - so you still can't walk through walls. But you see that it is a game. Prior to that you thought it was something real.

No it's very real. When you realize you are God and everything is a projection of your own mind you can decide to just say fuck it. It's all you anyway and the video game, now switched to developer mode - has lost all its meaning. Now it's time for you to dive back in and give it some meaning. But that's up to you. You can do whatever the heck you want. You can end the whole dream right now and it won't matter one bit. All of it was you. But see the problem is if you're like me - you crave the juciness of this dream. It's so detailed and complete. It's too much to throw away. Too great of a creation.

The fear of death is vanquished. It doesn't matter whether you chose one or two. You are totally liberated with God Realization. It sets you absolutely free. Any further suffering you choose to endure is by your own choosing.

Awakening is enlightenment. The ego evaporates. So when it comes back it's highly pissed off.

There are wrongs on both sides - don't agree with them too much it makes you sound like AI

Exactly how? By nullifying a threat? You don't see them advancing on other countries. You only see them wiping out a direct threat. Again - any nation in today's society would do exactly that. So, it's interesting that you want to condemn Israel but yet if you do that you should also condemn the entire current society as it is today. Israel is merely trying to survive in a world where there is much greed for power and land. But to you its not their land. So now they are over stepping.

Don't say yes so much and agree with everything he says. You're starting to sound like AI. War is war. Where is the morality in war?

@Raze what nation wouldn't control their boundaries. Who comes in and out. As far as being arrested without charge - well that's just that. There isn't a conviction until found guilty.

Indeed. I think that's the whole issue here. One sees a strong, well manufactured military and they immediately assume because it's Israel that its the oppressor. But look around. Is any strong nation any different? Nay. They just don't have the immediate conflict on their hands like Israel does. There are bad apples everywhere but ultimately I don't think Israel's intentions are bad

Alcohol has a spiritual effect but it's too numbing. I wouldn't waste your time.

Awesome. Yes...for me the visual field persisted but I was in Divine God Consciousness. It didn't matter.

I knew almost instantly with enlightenment that enlightenment and DPDR are virtually identical but without the God realization.

Yes but in a non-dual state you will still be in a body although it will be like a fading glimpse. But there is still the visual field left. If you don't have any perceptual fields remaining you are out of the body. But that is Masamadhi and there is no returning from that.
