Someone here

Well guess what we are doing exactly what we are here for.. Can't be otherwise can it?

Seriously? Is that supposed to have a poetic spiritual meaning that I need to figure out because I don't seem to be flying here!

@Dodo what kind of pipe dreams are you stumbling upon recently bruh?

How cute! .. What if I drop the idea without looking at a bird in the sky? ?

@blandana if you can't see something.. Does that mean it doesn't exist? If yes why? If no why?

Well these are kinda abstract questions.. Truth is simply whatever you have direct experience of or certain knowledge of. Is everything just appearances (solipsism style) ?? I have no direct experience or knowledge of the definitive answer to this question. You seem to have lots of questions.. Watch Leo's content.. It's all about answering such questions. Also you need to think for yourself and not take someone else's words for it.

If awakening is a state.. Then you need another state called delusion..to awaken from it.. But since delusion doesn't exist (because it is delusion).. All that exists is different degrees of Truth.. No falsehood.

@BlackMaze thanks for recommending. Will check it out. @Applegarden yes I think that will help a lot. Thank you.

I don't know. Leo says there is no physicality underneath conciousness because he thinks consciousness IS what you call physicality. After all can you draw a boundary between the two?

@Moksha beautiful. Very famous quote of him. I like it. ? @Nahm ?

You are the delusion ?

@Raven1998 It is not foolish per say. An argument Could be made that the dream world also seems to exist as a reality into itself outside of your consciousness.. Yet upon waking up it is revealed to be a projection of your mind. So what makes you sure your life is not one fat ass dream that soon you will wake up from? The problem tho is such claim is unfalsifiable . You can't prove it or disprove it. So the best option is to be agnostic. To claim for certain that it's one way or the other is what's foolish indeed. But ofcourse these guys above took some toad acid and became GOD so there is no question about it now?.

So today is actually day two. Reminder.. Why should I quit : it's affecting my physical.. Mental.. And psychological health to a very disturbing degree. It's not possible to live a healthy life without putting it down. If I don't quit.. It will catch up with me more and more and eventually I will end up having lungs cancer or whatever. I'm a heavy smoker. 4 packs a week or something is too much. And I'm already starting to feel the negative consequences. I can't run without feeling like losing my breath completely. My energy is getting lower. My appetite is decreased. And a lot more. Time to take this shit seriously and stop.

Amazing video bruh . Thanks for this. ❤️ I have a question.. You said that reality is NOT made of two layers.. The layer of appearance and the layer of "stuff behind the scenes". But rather it's just the layer of appearances. You gave example.. You said My refrigerator is being held within my consciousness.. You said the refrigerator is the appearance of the refrigerator in the present moment and that's all that there is to it. There is no refrigerator behind the refrigerator. And ofcourse that means there is no Leo behind Leo as well. Now that's solipsism. Please don't get critical about the label but that is what this philosophy is all about. Now you said that the universe is infinite mind and is literally capable of everything.. Universe =infinite mind. Also you said why would the universe manifest itself through two layers (layers of appearance +layer of objectivity).. It's easier just to manifest itself directly as an appearance. My question to you... Why not? If the universe is infinite mind.. Why it can't msnifest through two layers? Or four layers? Why can't my refrigerator exist when it's not in the first layer (being perceived)? Isn't that you imposing a limit from your mind on infinte mind?. I hope the question is clear. Thanks.

Actually there is no outside the dream or inside the dream.. 'that' is the dream. So I'm actually in more agreement with the traditional advaita conception of Awakening.. I don't agree with the Leoism. Awakening is no brainer.. It's now or never cuz there is nothing but now. If you accept that there is infinite degrees of consciousness.. Then you can keep yourself asleep by constantly pushing awakening to the endless future. Or you can realize whatever degree of consciousness you are at is as awake as it gets. And it doesn't matter either way.

No "you" don't have to accept "it" or have to X Y Z. This assumes there is a you separate from it that can or should relate to it in a certain way. It accepts itself unconditionally. You just watch.

Well since you are here then certainly you" should "be here. And that's the key to answering your questions. And there is really no other answer or better answer. The reason for anything that is occurring is it must/should occur. Because it is occurring. But Why should it occur?.. You will go looking for the why of the why to infinity... So ultimately there is no why. No reason or explanation at all why this is. Except itself.

Leo says no one is awake because awakening is death. No one is awake inside the dream. Because they are still inside the dream. To wake up is to wake up. To exit the dream. Inside the dream there ain't no waking up. Just different degrees of lucidity (consciousness). That's within the Leoism. In advaita vedanta the most direct teaching is you can't possibly become that which is already all that there is. So one way is to realize you are already awake and this is it. Other way is to kill entire universe and duality.

@The0Self LOL

Are you VeganAwake's twin? ?Jk lol. @VeganAwake

Yes I get you now. Thanks for sharing your pov.

Two ofcourse. Don't tell me one because the two cameras are being perceived by me lol..... The experiment is on the two cameras not on me. Just to show that it's completely possible experientially for two perceptual systems to coexist... Independently.

There is a difference.. The same consciousness looking through our eyes simultaneously is not the same as its only looking through my eyes.

Kant was a realist. He said there is two layers of reality. Phenomena and noumena. Aka "the thing in itself". Which is supposed to be the true nature of reality independent from observation. He said there is a world beyond perception but it's impossible to access because perception always vails it.

The only question an enlightened being can't answer. Enlightened : You don't exist outside of my consciousness. Materialist : You are wrong. You can't possibly know that. Enlightened :Watch let me prove it to you... Materialist : Wait a minute why are you even talking to a figment of your consciousness? Enlightened :.................
