Can something you think die? Do unicorns die? If you think you're a body. -

"It" will return "next time"? Interesting thought but no thanks. The unicorn population will be dearly missed. -
Use hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Make sure to floss regularly, work your way up to it slowly if your gums are weak and bleed easily. Brush your tongue and also the top of your mouth. If it is a natural hydroxyapatite toothpaste, it is essentially going to be entirely edible, you don't have to rinse with water and it is recommended you don't (just spit all of it out without water) and I find that this helps keep the oral microbiome in check for longer (clean, no bad breath). The toothpaste I use has sorbitol and peppermint oil in order to mediate the oral microbiome, so maybe look for those. Control what you eat, make sure it is not overly sticky and carby. It should be something that your saliva easily breaks down and emulsifies. Essentially stick to whole foods. In the morning I eat 1 tbsp of butter and coconut oil and coat the inside of my gums and teeth with it, gives it a protective layer. I'll have 1 tbsp at the end of the day too. Let food be your oral medicine. Chew thoroughly and properly. Should be like baby food at the end. You can imagine you're chewing as if there is a rock or needle in the food. It's important that your saliva properly lubricates the food and mouth. Make sure your mouth isn't dry. Hydrate.

There is just the thought. The thought is equivalent to conditioning. Being aware of the thought "25 years of old conditioning" is the conditioning and subsequent identity which is felt currently, as the thought. You are being the thought, not being in the thought. 25 years can't be thought of, or experienced. 25 years is not caused by 25 years. 25 years only exists from the vantage point of "25 years after." 25 years is thought, in every sense. You are aware of the thought "25 years", you are not being in the thought. Thought is not caused by what happened 25 years ago. Conditioning is not caused by what happened 25 years ago. You cannot experience the cause of experience. Conditioning is felt currently, as the thought. -

The idea that mind/ego has a paradigm and gets crushed, is itself mind/ego. Like saying: "How come unicorns keep coming back after having their paradigms crushed?" The idea of an ego, is ego. Don't confuse the map for the territory. Don't fight ghosts. Fighting ghosts is ego. Ego is a ghost. The idea of awakening, going here, doing this and that to rid yourself of ego, is itself ego. Conception. Separation. Division. Look at how the thoughts feel. Look at how the division feels. Look at who is being aware of thoughts and division. You are not in thoughts/division, you are being aware of it. You can't read a story while being in a story. There is no reason beyond reason. Reason is imagination. All is uncaused. You are uncaused. Reason is uncaused. Imagination is uncaused. Imagination can't cause anything therefore reason can't cause anything. You are aware of what is caused, therefore you are not in the cause. -
Luckily, mind is not physical. Mind can "die" before body dies. "Body" is itself mind. "It" can happen without having to wait for death. It can happen right now.

You fail to realize that this is a koan you've created, which points to nothing. Sound of one hand clapping. Sound of a tree falling with no one around to hear it. Sound of God creating itself before it existed? -
Osaid replied to StarStruck's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Nothing changed except the thought of it. Your thought of it. Your understanding of it. Which was "false" in the same way that there can't be a unicorn that understands things. There can't be "you" which "understands" or thinks of "it" or anything at all because there aren't any "things" aside from the thought of "things." Thought can't understand thought. A thought about things can't understand another thought about things. Recursion error. Catch-22. Onto the question of "what remains?" Assuming you also let go of the story that there is "you" which can "let go of stories", then what remains can only be... Nothing. No things. Not a thing. Infinity. Nothingness. Non-definitiveness. etc. -

Because it seems like you think that something can't exist. Every single thing that exists can't not be itself. That means everything that exists by your definition is an existential limitation. It seems like a redundant conceptualization to me, but you do you. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It is "false" in the sense that you can't ever be what the imagination points to, because every single thing it points to is divided and limited. You can't imagine something which is not a thing. You can't imagine nothing, otherwise it stops being imagination. Meaning, you can't imagine something which is not limited by another thing, otherwise it stops being imagination. A thing is always limited by other things because it is relative. Which means you can't ever be dual or limited, because you are the one imagining. You are imagining, but you aren't imagining yourself. If you imagine yourself, that splits you into two: the one imagining and the one that is being imagined. It creates a recursion error. You have created an imagination which tries to point to experience, but that imagination has to be part of experience. You can't use yourself to point to yourself. -

It's not an existential limitation because it is imagination. Your imagination can't limit anything existentially. Your imagination is itself something that exists. Existence can't limit itself through non-existence. Non-existence is not something that actually exists, by definition. Its like asking "why isn't the word donkey actually a donkey?" Because then it wouldn't be a word anymore, it would be a donkey. In order for a word to exist as a word, it can't be an actual donkey. In order for impossibility to exist as impossibility, it can't be possible. Again, you're stuck in this intellectual catch-22. You can't find proof because proof can never be the thing that is being proved. There is no proof for imagination outside of imagination. The entire thing is imaginary. When it becomes something that isn't imagination, it becomes possible, and so it isn't impossible. And so you continue to ask "why doesn't imagination exist as something that isn't imagination?" It "doesn't exist" in the sense that the contents of imagination don't exist as something outside of imagination. Meaning, imagination is never not imagination. It's not that impossibility can only be imagined, it's that impossibility is always imagination and it can't not be imagination. When you say "it can't actually exist", you are expecting imagination to be something which isn't imagination, and then perceiving that as non-existence. There can't be a thing that actually "can't exist." You have to imagine that first. Thus it only exists as imagination. Imagination does exist, it just can't point to anything that exists outside of itself. Even if everything did exist, you would still imagine impossibility, because imagination still exists. This further elaborates on the catch-22 I was talking about earlier. It's like looking at "1 + 1 = 3" and then going "how come I can't find any proof for it"? Because it is defined in a way where you can't find proof for it. It is a thing without proof, by definition. If it has proof, then it stops being that thing. You can only ask questions about it but the questions can't have an answer because that is how it defines itself. It only exists as a question. It is intellectual stagnation. -
Sounds like vulnerable/covert NPD. Research vulnerable/covert NPD. BPD is often comorbid with NPD. The line between the two is quite thin actually, but I digress. If they fit vulnerable/covert NPD very well and you suspect them to have it, then the relationship is probably not salvageable since they are probably purposefully abusing you. Diagnoses aside, listen to how you feel and think above all else. You don't need to know what their diagnostics are to know whether you should stay or not. Do you feel constant anxiety around them? Do they gaslight? Do they manipulate? Do they instill a false hope that they will change or get better, only to contradict that sentiment time and time again? Do you want to experience all of those things for a significant period of your life time? I have to say though, everything you described is textbook covert narcissism. I am 100% convinced they have covert NPD.

"Can be more" refers to a future perception. That "you" can be in a future which isn't happening right now. That "you" can be something which isn't happening right now. That "you" can be something which you aren't. You can't be something that is perceived later. That is never your experience no matter what. Because that creates two of you; one which is happening right now and one which is happening later. The limitation is the idea that you can be two things. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I agree. "More" consciousness, relative to what? Another part of consciousness? "Less" consciousness, relative to what? Another part of consciousness? No, there are no parts, it's all consciousness. When you say "more" or "less" you divide consciousness from itself. It is the exact same as saying "there is more or less existence." "Existence" is not a quantifiable quality, it is infinite. Same goes for consciousness. If you concur that every single thing that exists is consciousness, then there is simply no such thing as "more or less" of it. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You can't experience your experience being created. You could say that is how "nothing creates." Creation is "nothing" in that it is undefined and unlimited by anything. It is no thing. It is not "a thing" because "things" are divisions and dualities and limitations. There's nothing to get out of, literally. Your mind divides and limits reality. It tries to turn reality into a thought. It turns you into a thought. Trying to "get out of" thought is just another thought; that "you" are "in thought" and need to get out of it. Throw the medium away altogether. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I never said that. I said it is imaginary. Meaning, it's you thinking. There can't be you thinking of yourself. Because that is two of you. "You" thinking and "you" being thought of. There can't be two "beings." There is no "relative" aside from what you think is relative. In the same way how there is no unicorn aside from what you think is a unicorn. Both are thoughts/imagination. The truth inside of the above statement is what is "absolute." Even if you think the relative is the absolute, or that the absolute is the relative. It is still just thinking, which is relative, and not absolute. In the same way that no matter how hard you believe you are a unicorn, it doesn't change the fact of it being a belief. The medium of imagination does not change into something which is not itself. A human who believes they are a unicorn is a human who believes they are a unicorn, not a human which became a unicorn. Someone who believes that relativity exists is someone who believes that relativity exists, not that they are actually experiencing relativity. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I still imagine things. Nothing against it. Something non-dual can't exclude anything by its own nature. The good thing is that you don't have to pretend. Believing that you are dual is always inherently pretend/imagination though. You can't emerge from imagination because it's imaginary; you were never inside it in the first place. You can't think that you are a human. In the same way you can't think that you are a unicorn. Or you can't think that you have wings. There is literally nothing to deny, aside from imagination. Imagining yourself is denying what you are. -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Ah ok, I think I get what you mean. You're saying that if infinity exists and everything is unlimited, then it must be possible for everything to not be consciousness. But nothing impossible exists. You're just imagining it. That is my point. When you say "impossible" you're effectively talking about nothing. When you say "limitation" you're effectively talking about nothing. In order to perceive limitation you must first imagine that something isn't possible yet. The impossible aspect is made of intellect/imagination. It exists as imagination, not impossibility. What you're doing is like imagining the word "non-existence" and then saying "but look, this doesn't exist, that means reality isn't unlimited." What you don't realize is that the word points to nothing therefore it doesn't prove any limitation. There's no word which actually points to "impossibility" as an existential occurrence, otherwise it would be pointing to something, which means the thing it is pointing to is not impossible. This is what is happening when you say "consciousness is not the only thing that exists." The words point to non-existence. If there was a part of reality which wasn't consciousness, you would continue to use a lack of consciousness (non-existence) in order to limit reality because it literally experientially only exists as a concept, there is nothing outside of it. Concepts aren't impossible (nothing is) so they continue to exist. You are essentially imagining a concept, and then going "but why doesn't my concept exist as something that isn't a concept, that means reality is limited." There are already things that exist outside of concept, but once something exists outside of the concept it becomes something which doesn't prove the concept anymore. You've created an intellectual catch-22 for yourself which points to absolutely nothing. Because it was never about what exists, it's about imagining what doesn't exist. It's literally like asking "how come my imagination isn't something that isn't imagination?" Because you literally defined it that way. That is what imagination is. An imaginary unicorn can't be imaginary if it is real. Non-existence can't be non-existence if it actually exists. Impossibility can't be impossibility if it actually exists. Impossibility exists as imagination. Unicorns exist as imagination. Non-existence exists as imagination. -

This is ironically a very human perspective. Only a perspective a human could have, literally. Interesting regression going from "you are God" to "you are a human who sometimes taps into the entirety of God." -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You are imagining both of those meanings after the fact. I am using all the definitions of words as any other person would. "Impossible" is another word which points to "non-existence." Impossible means it can't happen. Something "not happening" doesn't mean limitation exists, it means nothing is there. Meaning, it says literally nothing about what is limited or unlimited. Something "not happening" can't affect what "is happening." The intellect uses words which point to nothing outside of itself. You further interpret meaning from that word, like "limitation" and "lack of possibility." But there's just nothing there beyond intellect itself. It self-terminates. I am not imposing limits, I am saying that the word points to absolutely nothing. Like experientially, the only thing that exists is the word itself, nothing else. Pointing out that something does not exist is not metaphysics or a framework. It is just me pointing out that you are imagining things. It is very simple. It is not logical at all. I am literally pointing to your experience and saying "that is not in your experience." That is not a logic or framework. I am just pointing out that your logic doesn't symbolize anything. I don't understand what you mean by these. When are "contradictions allowed"? -
Osaid replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
The reason why I point out contradictions is because a contradiction does not exist, that is literally what defines a contradiction. It's like you come up to me and say "Isn't it crazy how it's raining unicorns today" and then I'm like "no it's not raining unicorns." I have to point out the contradiction or else the conversation cannot progress without being delusional. I am using logic to point to something which is not logic. What I am doing is pointing out that none of these words point to anything that exists. I am pointing out that your logic makes no sense. That is all. I am not making you adopt it with new logic. When you say "limitation" you're talking about something that doesn't exist. When you say "more consciousness" you're talking about something that doesn't exist. All those quoted phrases are synonymous with "non-existence." My only goal is to make you realize that, nothing else. When you do realize that, you are left outside of logic, wherever that might leave you. I am not trying to make you believe in a better or more accurate logic or metaphysics. My goal is to make you stop believing in whatever kind of logic or metaphysics that you currently believe in, and my method for doing that is by making you realize the contradiction for yourself. You can't believe your logic if you realize it is contradictory. I am using logic to make you realize why your logic is contradictory. And you can only realize contradiction by being met with an opposing stream of logic. I use logic as a tool to untangle logic, not for you to adopt it as more logic. I do not have an end goal or framework to my logic other than simply just using it to untangle you from your own logic. That is the only imperative on my part. -

Direct experience is not any thing. Things are divisions. Mind divides. Experience cannot divide itself from itself. There aren't two experiences being experienced.
