I will contemplate this.

I am asking you because of your questions. If dreaming is a self-deception, then that would mean that any knowledge in the dream is part of the dream. Even a lucid dream is still part of the dream/deception. All knowledge and things post is part of “the self-deception.” Even you thinking you are awake is a self-deception. You are still dreaming. I am open to the possibility of awakening, but it just seems like it doesn’t exist. According to Leo, nobody on this forum is awake because according to him, he has reach levels of consciousness that nobody else has. Even though, it is possible that other people have had awakenings, when compared to who has reached the highest levels, everyone else’s awakening is mild. Think about this. Let’s say your awakening is at lvl 100 and an alien you meet is at lvl 5000. I think this is why Leo says nobody is awake because he claims he is at that alien level of awareness and nobody else has. The alien makes you look like you haven’t awakened to shit. I hope you can see what I mean here.

But how do you distinguish awakening from regular insight? What is the difference? How do you know whether you actually awakened or had a false insight? I entertain the idea that there could always be a higher level of consciousness that could make me doubt any profound insight I have had. The reason why I say that is because I remember you claiming that complete understanding of reality or omniscience is possible. If that is so, then wouldn’t awakening have to be final; otherwise, your understanding wasn’t complete and you aren’t omniscient. But by Godel’s logic, you cannot ever reach the end. It’s a self- deception to think there is a final awakening.

What do you think is meant by “life is a dream?”

Soul sex is the way to go!

How so? Understanding is relative, which makes it finite? A person with an IQ of 35 will have a limited understanding of reality compared to a person with 1000 IQ. The 1000 IQ will have limited understanding compared to the alien with 1000000000 IQ, etc. Even if we ignore other people and focus on myself strictly, our brains are wired in biased ways that limits our understanding and perception of reality. Human understanding is going to be finite because the brain is limited. To be human is to be finite. If your understanding of reality was infinite, then you couldn’t be a human and dealing with normal human endeavors. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. To have infinite understanding seems to imply that you have reached the end of consciousness. But there is no end. On the one hand, there are an infinite amount of things you can understand, but at the same time, it is limited by your genes, neural activity, senses, thought, culture, and time. To be a human is to be part of reality. What I am claiming is that the part cannot grasp the whole. In order for the part to grasp the whole, the part would have to become the whole, which implies physical death. But then, what understanding could you have if it’s not in relation to some part. Understanding implies a duality between subject and object. I don’t think omniscience is something that is humanly possible. I don’t think it’s possible for reality to know itself because existence is more fundamental than knowledge.

Nobody has yet to answer what the duality between enlightenment and self-deception is. You can easily have false insights. Because of the nature of infinite consciousness, an insight at lvl 100 will be false in comparison to what you discover at level 1000, same so on as infinitum. The problem never ends. Separation appears real at one level of consciousness but not so on another state, etc. etc.

What is the duality between enlightenment and self- deception? I’ll give you a hint. There isn’t one. If reality is imaginary, then your enlightenments are more imagination within imagination. No such thing as “final” enlightenment because that itself is a self-deception. Reality is infinite and understanding is finite.

We disagree on the definitions of enlightenment. A cat is in actuality but its understanding of its true nature and of existence is limited. Enlightenment means to enlight or to be full of light or consciousness. To be able to see reality as it is and understand that. There is no way we can do that because to be human is to always see it through the lenses of self-deception and bias. You cannot get rid of bias/self-deception. The Devil is always there. You cannot kill him. Otherwise, God couldn’t exist either because The God is the Devil. Self-deception is what creates this human experience. This means that as long as you are in form, you can never know what formless is. And I haven’t even scratched the surface.

Enlightenment is an illusion. Being is always prior to knowing. Existence is infinite whereas understanding is finite/limited. There will always be more things for you to grasp because no matter how much you try to grasp reality, you will get no more near the end than when you began because that is the nature of infinitude.

I don't think this is possible because to be human is to always have a limited understanding. The Universe is too profound to be grasped by a human mind. You even stated that Consciousness cannot be known in your episode on Not Knowing. If the Infinite can be grasped by your finite human mind, then what you grasp is not the Totality. Existence will always be more fundamental than your comprehension/understanding, which means that you will never fully grasp it. That is why I say Enlightenment is an illusion because there will always be more ''awakenings.'' It won't end. Consciousness has no rock bottom.

Because you are INFINITE. If that couldn’t be possible then you wouldn’t be infinite.

Well technically, if solipsism is true, that means you are the only one with free will and they have no choice but to behave as they do. But at a deeper level, you are creating these NPCs to have these discussions. So, you are unconsciously willing people on this forum to disagree with you. Thats why I say free will is a paradox because your will is both done consciously and unconsciously.

Free will isn’t an illusion but rather a paradox. The illusion is you thinking that free will is an illusion. You are responsible for your actions. You are God so of course you have free will.

”You are imagining others. There is zero evidence that there are other consciousnesses outside your own.” Just apply this logic to solipsism and you’ll be good. I know you still deny it.

I already see it here. Andrew Tate may say some good things, but why do you need him when you have a guy like Julien. Tate is toxic and makes you think that you will be inferior if you don’t have money, sex, or 6 pack abs. Basic toxic masculinity. Tate isn’t saying anything new or valuable that you can’t get from anyone else. You might as well listen to Trump and Hitler or my ass farting. My ass can fart out some good wisdom every once in a while. But why do you need to listen to criminals and that shit when you can get the same message from people who actually are good human beings. If you open your mind, you will see value in yourself and won’t need to be an Andrew Tate or Trump follower. I am sure there are plenty of other rapists and even murderers out in the world who can say more profound things than Andrew Tate. But why should you give them any ounce of your attention? It’s like Trump said, “I can walk up and shoot somebody and still won’t lose any votes.” Andrew Tate already has committed sex trafficking and many people still think he is a man of value. It’s just basic self-deception.

This was the best post and content I’ve seen from you! Great job! That Julien guy got me thinking way more than Andrew Tate. Keep posting this kind of content. Thanks for the share man. It changed my outlook on some stuff.

No he doesn’t. Forestluv is imaginary.

No. Leo wouldn’t even waste his breath.

Enlightenment doesn’t even exist. True awakening is realizing that your awakening was just a self-deception. If you could absolutely awaken, you wouldn’t be human anymore.

A medical doctor is not the same as a therapist. Therapists only need a masters degree.

Gotcha. But I don’t agree with people saying women have expiration dates. As long as a woman is within 5 years of my age and shares my values, we are good. I’m not interested in dating a woman way younger or older than me. I’ll give the posts another read.

Don’t have a scarcity mindset. I know people who have met in their 60s and got married after 3 different test drives.

Consciousness changes too. That is why there are many states of consciousness. Nothing is unchanged. Also, consciousness and sense-perception are one. If you have no senses/perception of anything, then there would be nothing for you to be conscious of. Think about your life in the womb. One of the reasons you don’t have any consciousness during that time is because your senses have not been developed. Imagine being born with no sight, no sound, no sensation, just a baby living its life in a sensory deprivation tank or like in the matrix. It would not be able to be conscious of anything. In the case of the matrix, it was only conscious of the world the machines fed to it. But in this case, you could not form of analytical thought because thought depends on the senses and of language. Consciousness and senses/perceptions are one and absolute. Everything you experience is absolute. Consciousness is everything you experience.
