they are not working together - there is no conspiracy theory. It is just people deceived. Born into an illusion. You just have to find your own way. You have to think for yourself. No one is going to do it for you, but no one is acting against you either.

The problem is young people today take science and materialism as the source of reality. So call it whatever you want. You can deny it all you want, but we have been brought into this world believing science has an answer for reality and that that answer is materialism. This is because scientists today think they have figured out reality. But they will never solve consciousness. They are just in denial.

it is simply the culture you have been brought up in. You have been brainwashed to believe that science is God. Science is not God. You do not have to turn to it for the ultimate answer. Even Einstein realized it in the end. I would have loved to have been Neils Bohr when he realized that reality was mystical.

indeed...that is what he is saying, so why would you disagree.

Science is the worst religion there is. The only thing different about science, is it helps us get around better in the world. It is a necessary evil. But yes, it will bring you farther from God then religion ever would. It is religion on steroids.

what he is saying is that spirituality can be turned into a religion, in fact, there is no difference. what is actual is actual - all else is deception - and that is what you have to look at. As @gettoefl said - the kingdom of God is within.

will do.

Because he was enlightened. The problem is everyone twisted it.

That is what Leo has been saying for months now about Buddhism and Non-Duality. what I am saying is that non-duality points to something prior to religion...religion teaches you to believe in "other". With non-duality we look at Actuality.

not sure what your point is here. We love him, he aint going anywhere

well, we try not to teach that God is the ego...all the ego is, is God that has fooled itself into thinking it is some finite being that can have attachments. In itself it is nothing BUT an attachment. But it is merely a collection of thoughts. It is pure illusion. if you really sit down and self inquire, you will very quickly realize that all you have of yourself is thoughts. Even the soul is a thought. You cannot find yourself anywhere. There is a body, yes. But you are not the body. You cannot find yourself anywhere. So God is just playing games with itself. When it says that I am God, it is talking through an illusory veil. But it is that, it is that illusory veil. The illusion IS.

give the dude a break, he's growing up. He's finally showing some humility. Don't crap on that.

When i say behind, i am being metaphoric. God is not anywhere, it is omnipresent. To be omnipresent means it cannot exist in any one place. And yet, these hands type, these eyes look out. That is a mere appearance, there is really only Being happening, and Being doesn't even need to happen, it just is. But then, when you go full circle, you can see and say that God is a human. You see how elegant this solution is? God can actually talk through a human this way. And it can say things like, God is behind the scenes watching. In a sense it is doing that.

There's one difference between us and them, actually. We teach free thought and to look within yourself. We don't put Truth into "other". We tell you where to find Truth for yourself.

it's not real because of that - its just real because there is no difference between dreaming and reality. A dream is all that we have.

By awakening.

Maybe the God behind it is you. And God is expressing itself through the human element.

Exactly. Hence, I give you what is other wise known as reality. So you know the whole gambit now. It's all been exposed. The curtain was unveiled. But now try explaining this to your peers. They are knee deep in the illusion. Blinded by the dream.

When you awaken from your own dream telling the characters within the dream that they can awaken seems silly. But then you get immersed. It's all about being immersed.

You know God directly. All they know is something they have learned in a book.

I would hope so. You are imagining every word said here. You invented both of us.

Perhaps. Or perhaps you are just growing up. Forget not that I have more than a decade on you. You are brilliant- but still, I am God.

Realize that infinity is anything you want it to be. It's beyond your comprehension and mine.

It started because it could. God cannot not allow the finite experience. If it did it would have bias. And also because it wonders what it is like to be a particular finite experience. Also be careful not to take both versions as a belief. I can tell you did because you assigned some meaning to egoic solipsism.

This says it all. You're not gonna win because you want somehow for religion to be God. Religion is no closer to God than science.
