Maybe that's true for you. For some it would make a difference wether they think others are real or not.

For practical life, caring about the suffering of "others" for example. And at a higher level, just desire for truth.

Well, you are basically saying that you either don't care or believe it's not possible to know. I disagree, but there's no point in trying to logically convience you. Nice respectful conversation anyways

@Mason Riggle And BTW, I'm not arguing for the version of solipsism I feel you are thinking of. There are many perspectives which God's Mind imagines. Just not in the way it intuitively seems. We're not separate bubbles existing at the same time. Its all superposed in infinity beyond time as pure potentiality. Total oneness.

I use the words Imagination and Actuality almost indistinctly. To me Actuality means what Consciouaness is imagining right now. You clearly do not, so you're gonna have to explain what you mean by those terms. And no, as I said, you can't experience "subconscious" or "other minds", by definiton. We're on the same page on that one.

What I mean using the word "actuality" is actualized imagination, as in the present moment you are experiencing. Obviously subconscious does not exist in the same way becouse if it did I would just be conciousness by definiton.

That's not what I meant, maybe I phrased it wrong. Anyways, your response is unnecesarily agressive and full of projections and asumptions, you don't really know my take on solipsism nor my level of openness about other perspectives. I was arguing honestly and on good terms, your shit-throwing is uncalled for and it really shows your own lack of openness which you proyect.

It's not just a wording problem. He's comparing "other minds" to "your own subconscious" to prove these other minds exist as an actuality, but nobody really thinks of subconscious as an actuality.

That's an oxymoron. I like your analogy, but your consclusion is backwards. You don't think of your subconscious as some bubble of consciousness which exists as an actuality outside of your experience right? Then why do you think that way about "others"?

There is no I There is no You This post doesn't make sense becouse it doesn't satisfy my strict no-self terminlogy standards LOL

At the begenning, first concentrate on a simple object for a few minutes and then close your eyes an recall it. Visualizing people is relatively advanced, start by simple inanimate objects.

This isn't Mahasamadhi, you missed part 2

A very high level of consciousness is definetly a must, but I don't think that's enough without specific training. One could temporarily be in a Jesus-level and still not know how to perform a gross physical miracle. Consider an analogy with music, during a trip you probably can reach even better musical consciousness than the best composers of all time have sober, but still you are probably not gonna come up with a musical masterpiece if you are not a trained musician.

If there were material limits, one wouldn't be able to keep rising it indefinetly not even using chemicals, isn't is so? Yes or no?

I find it useful to distinguish beetween Free Will and Will. Free Will I would define as total freedom to choose any one out of infinite possiblities. This is obviously false within the context of this finite dream. But Will is a much more subtle notion. I would define it as consciousness' intrinsic capacity to influence the unfolding of the dream. This capacity has levels and it's in direct proportion to it's wakefulness. The more awake, the more conscious control. What you are debunking here is your own idea about how Will works, and it's loaded with many assumptions. Will does not depend upon the existance of an individual self. Will has nothing to do with your capacity to guess your future thoughts. And it's not some gross mechanical process in which you are somehow displayed many options out of which you pick one. It's way more direct and magical than that. Realizing Will is more of a mystical experience than an intellectual excersise.

Love to hear that. I've doing it for seven years now, so feel free to PM if you want. I'm also very experimental with my Spiritual practices, but Imagination Developement is what I'm most hardcore about, becouse it has been ridiculously effective for me. You'll probably be suprised to find out that just like with Psychedelics, you can keep developing it forever. At a much slower rate of course, but enough to make your baseline radically higher in a couple years. That's how it should be

I didn't mean Meditation and Self- Inquiry. Those I would put into the No-Mind category and they are not very good at taking you in the Psychedelic God-Mind direction. But spend at least a year seriously doing something like Imagination Develepement and tell me if your Consiousness doesn't become progressively more Psychedelic-like. Anyways, just sharing my experiences, I have no interesting in getting into a debate over this. Love your work.

I feel part of the reason is becouse of the discordance beetween the No-Mind spiritual practices you are most familiar with VS the God-Mind territory you are passionate about exploring. I'm NOT saying one can go as far as achieving God-Realization levels sober. Pyschedelics are definetly an extremely useful took for this work. But you are far too negative about rising one's baseline IMO.

Let's take a look at it. You believe that I am conscious right now as opposite to let's say Hitler becouse he's already dead, right? Notice that implies that time is real, beyond and meta to consciousness, and both of our bubbles of perception are contained within time. Read that again and think about it very carefuly. The Godhead includes infinite posiblities but only one exists as an actuality, which is the present moment you are experiencing. Do you believe that your own 2 year-old self is conscious right now? Wether you answer yes or no (and you can think about it both ways paradoxically), contemplate and realise that time not being meta to consciousness, there's no difference beetween your 2 year-old self consciousness, my consciousnes, or the consciousness of any living/dead being you can think of. Either no moment exists but the one you are experiencing, or all moments exists simultaneously beyond time. Which is exactly the same.

I've been working on this skill for months now and came up with this guide of 3 progressively difficult Steps. I know some of you are into these kind of psychic practices so here we go: 1. Learn how to put your consciousness' focal point into different parts of your own body. By consciousness' focal point I mean your sense of location. For most people it's the head most of the time. Notice that you can change this focal point to different body parts by means of will and concentration. I suggest you start with your hands. The more you can isolate a particular body part and stop feeling the rest of your body the better. 2. Feel external objects as if they were a part of your body. This is difficult to describe. Imagine that you stick your hand into the object and it becomes your new hand. You should feel the object's shape as it was your own hand's propioception. 3. Fully transfer yourself into the object. The goal now is to completely stop feeling located in your body and fully become the object. In order to do this, concentrate harder and longer in order to isolate the objects perceptions just like you did with your own hand in Step 1. Keep in mind that there are many levels to this skill. Even after you get to Step 3. The main benefit of this practice is that it will make your consciousness much more flexible and fluid, by experiencing non-human consciousness. Which is important for magical practices. Hope it's useful, all love.

If you reach a certain peak of concentration you are completely absorbed and your mind completely still. There's no ego no human thoughts and no memories during that absorption. You are not even a sentient being.

I got into non-human states of consciousnes. I did not gain information about the object's past/future or something like that. I know people who can do these kind of things, I'm not there yet.

"Other bubbles" don't exists in the way you think of, as some external thing exits which exists somewhere out there as an actuality. All of reality is superposed in infinity, beyond time. But no other possiblity exits as an actuality except the one you are experiencing, the rest is just potential. You don't think your own 2 year-old self is conscious right now somewhere outside the scenes right? Well the same is true for my own experience from your POV. I am no more real/conscious/alive than your own 2 year old self.

Yes, but I don't reach that level every time. It takes a great deal of concentration. Or doing it on Pshychedelics.

I also think it's his most advanced video about spirituality so far, he took it to a whole other level. Those of us who are serious about this can clearly see it.
