Why is time an illusion? What do you mean by time? And what do you mean by it being an illusion? The past exists. Sure. We even have a word for it. We are even talking about it right now. And.. Ofc.. The "past is in the past " duh? A=A.. It's just like everything else.. What you think it is.... Isn't actually what it is. our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. including Isaac Newton’s picture of a universally ticking clock. Even Albert Einstein’s relativistic space-time.. Which is supposed to be an elastic manifold that contorts so that local times differ depending on one’s relative speed or proximity to a mass is just a simplification. In other words the universe is like a movie.. All past presents and future are contained in the same place (for lack of better words). But that's none of your business as you are completely bought into the linearity of life. Better question be what is the past? What is time? And good luck answering.

Yes. Actually about six years rather than two.

No.

@Nahm oh OK it's kinda paradoxical. I thought it triggered you because you always act like you know everything Leo said even in God consciousness you can't be specifically omniscient. Like you can't know how much grains of sand exist on earth.

@Nahm what's funny about the statement you quoted?

Maybe, I don't know.

@The0Self you cannot falsify solipsism can you?

Can someone explain to me what's the difference between God realization and solipsism?

I think it's the opposite. I haven't stumbled across a teaching more radical than Jim Newman's teaching. I think he would say that God realization is what it is and it doesn't matter to the liberated individual. In short.. It doesn't matter that you are God constructing reality from the liberated pov. Because nothing really matters.

It can't be interpreted. It's direct manifestation.

@Tim R congrats for the mod upgrade bro ?

It's literally an unexplainable miracle that anything exist at all. Try to get that

Now I'm craving chocolate ?

@The0Self I was just teasing you. I really like your posts. seems authentic

Do you ever just sit back and wonder "what the hell am I talking about"? ?

Only you can answer it. If you don't know who you are.. How do you expect other people to know lol?

Imagination is reality though.

@Tyler Durden how do you know that you are 'awake'? Describe your awakening.

I don't understand what does the "thought I" have to do with whether reality has a beginning or not

If there was a beginning you have to ask what came before the beginning. And it will lead to infinite regress. You just have no choice but to accept that reality is eternal.

I'm not conscious that I did design my own brain. What if I don't buy this whole God story? At least you can be sure that the brain exists and how it works. But not about its origin and "who" created it.

What do you mean then?

There wasn't a "first" thing. There was no beginning to existence.

Exactly. I agree with this. Which should answer the question of "why people deny that they are not free despite the evidence".
