No. There is no other field but this one. This Field is so Absolute and Eternal that death does not occur. Death is as imaginary as your birth and your last night’s dream. Whatever you imagine. I have had dreams where I was it appeared like I was in different body and was different animal entirely. But the Field/Screen never goes anywhere, it is everywhere. Next time you dream, pay more attention to your body. You imagine you are jumping into a body. You never jump. You are always right where you are. It’s all you. You are comparing with yourself. There is only one dreamer. Point your finger at an object (I.e., tree), then point it at a subject (I.e., some human or animal in your experience), then point your finger at the place behind your eyes and look at the place behind your eyes. All objects and subjects have always been behind your eyes. You don’t find other subjects in some object like a brain, you create them. All people and all other minds you imagine are objects of yourself. There is only one field, one experience, one mind. Where is the line drawn between an unconscious object and a conscious one? Whatever line you draw is what you imagine. How do you know death will happen? Check your assumptions. Notice that “will” and “when” imply time. If there is no time, there is no death. You are imagining other dreams, experiences, other minds, and you are even imagining that you go to sleep. Death and sleep don’t happen. Realizing this is one thing and living your life from this realization is very radical. There is no different field. That implies there are other fields and experiences. If there were multiple fields, where do you draw the line between the two? Where does one field begin and one end? There is only one field, one experience, one mind, one consciousness. All else is imagination, story, and belief inside of the field of consciousness. If that is what you imagine, tell me what it was like to wake up in your body for the first time from the same place from where you imagine you will go back to when you die? What is the difference between the place of birth and the place of death? Short answer: You are God, you are Eternal. You are that which cannot die. If God died, where would God go? God laughs at the idea of death, whereas a human is terrified of it. You are so One that you cannot die. Where is the line drawn between the sleeping dream and the waking dream? What if it is only one dream? Dreaming is a fantasy relative to what? This reality here. The reason why we call this reality is because we have never experienced anything else. Everything is grounded within this waking dream. But how is what we experience here any different from a dream? Even your sleeping dreams can be just as stable as this world here. Why do you have wild dreams sometimes? Well if all you had was dreams identical to this one here, then you couldn’t make any distinction. To have reality also requires having a classification of fantasy. What is reality being real relative to? Reality is real because you say it’s real. No other reason. It is a self-contradictory, circular justification loop. Edit: Direct experience is the king. Go and observe it for the answers.

To sell the illusion. If you woke up into different bodies, how could you function, survive, and maintain the illusion? You imagine all those bodies within Consciousness. Every body you see is you. To maintain the illusion, you need consistency. Otherwise you couldn’t dream. Not quite but interesting thought. Your past and memories, and your ideas of having past lives and past bodies are being imagined now. Notice what actually exists in this moment. There is no body, only The Field. A body is an idea inside the Field. The Self of who you truly are cannot die. The Self is eternal. All bodies are being dreamed up in the dream. The latter. You can. But this dream you are in has certain rules that you dream up. Why do you dream of gravity and pain in some of your dreams but not others? Start to wonder what it means to dream. A dream has to be a convincing imagination; otherwise, you would already wake up. You see, you define “reality” so you can have something to ground your “dreams” in. We think of dreams as fantasies in comparison to what? To this waking dream right here that most people call reality. Think of everything you experience right now as a more rigid form of a dream. You have to have that to be able to create reality. You cannot draw your lines between fantasy and reality without constructing a reality. That reality that you believe is real is part of the dream. A dream is like God’s magic show. It is the ultimate magician that fools itself into not being God. Once you know how the magic is done, you can’t be fooled by it anymore. Hence, you destroy reality. And that is the last thing you want to do. The way this dream is designed is the perfect magic show. It contains all dualities. There is no reality without fantasy. You can enjoy figuring out and try to understand this magic show or you can be immersed and enjoy it in ignorance. Either way is fine. Enjoy the dream. Have fun or not! The world is what you want to create!

You are already here. There is no there. You seek for the seeker and then seek to run away to then seek again. That’s the game being played, the dream being dreamt, the play being played. Now I am gonna go for a jog and hunt for morels. Nothing matters and that is good fun.

Thanks. I appreciate your insight and support. You are right. There is a distinction between enlightenment and embodiment that I can draw. I have been questioning God ever since I heard about the “concept” at 3 or 4 years old. Always been fascinated about God and philosophy even before I learned what philosophy was. It was even more amazing to discover the actuality of what God is. I know that there are still deeper levels of understanding possible (I.e., like knowing how I am constructing/imagining all of reality). But ultimately, my implicit understanding/intuition is telling me that God cannot know itself at the deepest levels because it is Itself and all knowledge and duality are contained within It. Edit: Solipsism was the hardest for me to accept on my journey. However, at times throughout my life, I considered Solipsism but then I turned away from it because of how crazy it seemed to me at the time. But It is all one field of experience interacting with itself. I want to thank all “parts” of Myself for helping me to arrive at this point. P.S. I apologize for derailing the topic. I am glad that you have found inspiration from the quotes. Peace and much love! Stay inspired! ❤️??????

Yes but I still am not done. I am trying to integrate it all now and go even deeper. I did it all through contemplation. The experiences were so powerful that I was scared at first, but after processing it, I cried out of joy and hugged every tree as I saw it all as myself. It was like I was high without taking any substance. Insight into God, no-self, no-other took me a while to stomach and process. No-other and external reality was hard to deconstruct. But I realize that there is so much more depth. I can’t even imagine what could be possible to find on psychedelics. Never tried them so I don’t know what I am missing. I am still attached to survival. I don’t consider myself done until I have reached the deepest levels of understanding and have transcended all of my attachments to life. It is one thing to wake up once or twice or however many times, and it is another thing to remain that way throughout all of life. I consider what I did as waking up to hitting the snooze button. I am not fully awake until I live from my insights and understanding.

Only you can enlighten yourself. There is no other to “enlighten” you. Not sure how I can help you with that. You have to examine all your assumptions. It is all written there. I don’t have time to spell everything out for you. That’s your job. Others cannot awaken you, but they sure are designed to keep you asleep. Rupert Spira, other people, and Neo-Advaita are completely imaginary and full of crap just like everything else in this dream. I leave it up to you if you wish to follow the breadcrumbs or not. Good luck! ?

How is sitting in a room narcissistic? Maybe I don’t understand. Sitting in a quiet room does simple and pure, don’t it? However, I wouldn’t judge something too fast. I assume you haven’t done it. I haven’t done it, so I really can’t say, but it seems fascinating to experience almost total silence. Most people I know cannot sit in total silence with their own minds. Even studies show that people prefer to be shocked than to sit for 15 mins with their own thoughts. If you can do this quiet room while being totally in bliss and no desire for anything else, then you have “accomplished” something most humans haven’t. You have found a happiness most cannot even dream of. Doing this while in pain and suffering is a whole other level. What are the goals relative to? Why do you use your mind at all? It is all for your survival as an ego. Pretty much everything you do is to survive as an ego. Take note of all of what you do and all your goals and really ask whether it is in your self-interest or not. It is all dependent on your ego, your self-identity. What doesn’t make sense?

I am not sure what you mean by infinite consciousness when putting it with the first part of your quote. If by infinite consciousness, you mean something other or outside of your field of experience, then I would challenge you to reexamine that.

I believe this was the part of the quote I disagreed with. Can you see it now? Sense of other is written all over it.

No problem. Wish you the best. What if it isn’t? What if the imagination of other minds/bubbles is the duality, and solipsism unites all minds into the one mind? Nice one lol. But how do you know anything beyond your own mind? Anything beyond your mind is in your mind. Took me a while to deconstruct that one. That is what I mean by solipsism. Correct. No belief is true. Belief is what we do when we don’t know what is true. I would agree. This is the limits of language and my part in communication. I don’t perceive this “bubble” as finite. The bubble is so infinite that you cannot call it a bubble anymore. When you deconstruct all other bubbles, you also deconstruct your own, and you realize it is infinite. What I meant by bubbles is “other” minds or fields of experiences that you imagine. There is only one experience. I don’t prefer using the concept “bubble” when describing consciousness because “bubble” implies finiteness of “something being beyond the bubble. I prefer to use the term “field of experience.” There is only one field of experience right now and it isn’t a belief. The field of experience is actuality and anything beyond it is imagination.

You forgot the rest of your quote.

I encourage you not to accept anything on this forum. Some of the stuff on here can be really intense. If the content here on this forum is bothering you, I would encourage taking a break from some of the content and meet some of your other needs on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. A lot of this stuff is for people who want to deconstruct their sense of reality. From what I am hearing, it sounds like at this stage in your life now, you are not ready for this intense work yet. And that is not a bad thing. Take a break and do things you enjoy doing, and forget about this truth-seeking bullshit. Truth and philosophy/spirituality can be very dangerous and aren’t for everyone. Hoping for your best, Rocky ❤️??

What is a great achievement? Being able to fall in love with reality and to find and live with independent and inner-happiness with needing absolutely nothing is one of the greatest achievements I can think of. What else is achieving things for other than to raise your happiness? However, I think these videos are pointing to something beyond achievement. I don’t really see love for reality as an achievement because achievement is ego-based and is future and goal-oriented. I think of Love as acceptance and pure satisfaction with reality completely as it is with no desire to change it to suit your needs. It does not matter who sits the longest in the quiet room. What really matters is the level, perspective, and state of mind from which they sit in the room. That’s the bias of our society/culture. We place quantity over quality.

❤️?? You got this. Keep going. At least it sounds like you gave your dog the best life possible which to me is what matters the most. To me, it is not about how long we live, but how deep we have loved.

Pretty much all of them except from @Gili Trawangan, @Leo Gura, and @GreenWoods All the rest seem to misunderstand solipsism and oneness as separate. They are one. Of course these are quotes, which are taken out of context and can be easily misinterpreted. That is why I stated that no communication is absolute truth. All communication is relative. True solipsism or true oneness is found through introspection, not communicating. Although, communication can help motivate and inspire people to self-reflect. So it is not all one-sided.

We are all dying. Some of us are truly living. I’m sorry for your loss. Hang in there. God isn’t separate from you. You are God dreaming up a human experience. What about your dream characters at night? Don’t they have feelings too? Surely they aren’t fictitious. If so, where do you draw the lines between this dream and your dreams last night? Wish you well on your path.

There is no time. There is no soul. There is no other. Unless you are God-aware right now, your awakenings are imaginary. Go further. You got this. ??

Hey now. Be kind to yourself. ??

How do you know it was a trap? What if inference of and imagination of other minds is a trap? The only thing that you can know is that you exist. Everything else is inference, story, concept, and belief. That is solipsism. And it is true. Now, just figure out who the hell you are existentially. What can help is contemplating what “other” is and how “other” is constructed or created. Other minds are created by your own mind. All bubbles and minds you imagine outside of your mind are inside your mind. Even your own mind is created by your own mind. How about that for a mindjob?

Most of these quotes don’t understand what oneness means or what solipsism really means. There are no others. There are no other bubbles. That is solipsism. That is awakening. All others and bubbles are a complete mental construction within the dream. The ego is nothing but the identification of being something separate from the bubble. The field of experience isn’t the ego, it is God. The ego is the separations you imagine. Reality is literally a dream. The ego is the separation from “other” constructions in the dream. There is only one “headless” field. There is only one dreamer. These dream characters and their quotes still have a subtle sense of other. In which case means they have not gone all the way. Therefore, their quotes and insights are incomplete and not absolute truth. You won’t find absolute truth from a communication. You find it within yourself. Communication is how you remain asleep. Introspection is how you awaken. Fear is a good indicator that you are approaching truth. If it makes your ego feel good, it is not the truth but a way to keep you asleep. Go beyond the fear. The ego fears solipsism. Start to wonder why. You will find your answer there. Edit: By the way, there are no souls. Notice how you feel from this comment and start to wonder what you are really afraid of, specifically when it comes to solipsism.

Exactly. How so? After discovering what is true, what is greater than being totally at peace and happy with absolutely nothing. Most people need something to be happy. The greatest sages need nothing. That is true happiness. EDIT: Just because you become enlightened or Truth-realized, does not mean that you have reached the highest levels of human development and potential. It is one thing to realize Truth, it is another thing to practice it and live from it.

?❤️?????

That’s why I said that all of this is an ego game. If you are truly awakened, the only reason why you would share it or talk to others about it is to put yourself back to sleep. Think about that. Of course, I am writing this message to remind myself of that. My whole day is constructed to keep myself asleep. What makes this any different? It is just me entertaining myself from the void. That’s what this is.

No. You are asking yourself these questions over and over again to pull yourself back into the illusion. That’s why I said that all of this is an ego game.
