Someone here

Well I most definitely get it .not sure about you . If interested..what part that you don't get?

I'm omnipresent. So ofcourse I'm behind the eyes..behind the ears ..in the blood and bones ..I exist as the entire bubble of consciousness right here right now. I'm just letting go of the idea that there are other similar bubbles that exist because it's not found in direct experience.

Hi ivan..thanks for jumping in .. I wonder ..in your direct experience right now of being conscious..is there a clear boundary between 'you ' and ' other '? If we nail all concepts on the cross them even the boundary between you and the physical world dissolves . Actually the present moment is 100% clear that consciousness (which is you) is the only thing that exists .

true Self? As pure awareness? Or what exactly? Is the true Self a thing ?and at what point is there not the true Self? How do you arrive at a distinction of what is not the true self and what is ? (Sincerely trying to understand your comment) . Nonduality or Advaita literally means "Not-Two ". So there is no false self and true Self . That's a duality that is not based on direct experience. However..let's just take the Self you are referring to...is there others to that self?or is it the only thing in existence by virtue of being infinite and all-encompassing? And how does that relate to solipsism specifically?

If the self is "illusory" then who is gonna have separate additional awakenings ? If you stick to the noself stuff ..then wgar you are Really saying there is nobody home in all of existence. There are no selves. So that would be the end. There cannot be awakening even to noself if there is no self .

You. Simple..right?

@Princess Arabia blind or not blind ..everyone is YOU and is either experiencing sight or blindness .

Elaborate please.

Aren't you contracting yourself here ? Spiritual work is discovering truth . If a question is itching you ..you should spend nights and days trying to solve it . And this is not ego. This is your genuine desire to wake the fuck up . You do need theory at first .of course as I said once you do awaken all of the questions in the world will be laughable . But don't get too ahead of yourself. It's very simple my friend..the same consciousness is looking through our eyes .either simultaneously or at different timeliness. I am you .either simultaneously or in different lives . The bottom line is there is only you ..which is equivalent to me .

I'm listening to contradictory views on what awakening or enlightenment is . One is that of Leo and Peter Ralston..and the other is of Jim Newman and Tony Parsons. Leo suggests that enlightenment gives you understanding..and that enlightenment has levels and degrees..and that your default state is not enlightened and that you should seek it in the future. Those other teachers say that "what is " is already exactly what reality is and there is nothing to awaken to or to understand (in fact reality cannot be understood as a whole but maybe separate parts ).and I don't know which view is correct. The empty mind vs. The understanding mind . A cat or a dog or an ape is fully content and fulfilled by an unreflected life. But animals aren't enlightened.. Obviously. Just like small human kids (2-5 years old). They are so free: FULLY expressing WHATEVER arises.. laughter cry ..rage.. WHATEVER.. it just gets expressed. They are SO fucking immersed in The Now. EVERYTHING is exciting for them. But are 2-5 year old kids enlightened? HELL FUCKING NO So someone like Ramana Maharshi teaches that silence is the highest teaching. Having clear mind empty of thoughts is what makes you enlightened. Honestly I resonate more with this view ..the only thing you can do to achieve enlightenment is nothing . What do you guys think 🤔?

Sounds like a crock of nonsense. It's the opposite. God is an idea in my mind.

it's not an idea.

@Princess Arabia great 👍

@Princess Arabia do you get it ? Or are you just toying around?

@Princess Arabia it's not just 8 billion. There are infinite conscious beings in existence. But they are all the same consciousness . So if you don't like solipsism..you can think of it as that you are living everyone's lives simultaneously. But actually if you think about it deeply enough..you will realize that no..there is only one conscious experience happening at a time in existence. And that experience is your consciousness right now . I'm you in either a previous incarnation or a future incarnation The Truth is we are all one . End of story .

@Princess Arabia no no no no .. I finished this dilemma for myself . And it feels like a giant ass mountain has been lifted off my shoulders. You little devil with this quasi Trolling are trying to make me lose my lucidity in the dream . You are an evil dream character in my world. I'm you btw .

@Princess Arabia go drink water and go to bed .

Well he would say there is no one doing it .it just happens. Because free will is an illusion since the ego or the doer is illusory. Again..if you listen to his talks ..this very question gets repeated to him and he says there is nobody doing anything. His message comes out of the spontaneous un-premeditated nature of things . So it's a message from no one to no one for no why or how . Same answer as above .

I don't quite understand what you are saying . Are you familiar with Tony's teaching? He basically says there is no self to awaken and awakening is simply as you are already Nothing needs to be attained or achieved. Cab you reframe your post in a simplest way ?

What does that mean 🤔?

For me that ends the debate . The debate is between two players . Not between teams. We are not comparing titles and trophy because that extends to include the whole team not a individual player .so the point should be who is better individually? And the answer to me is simply Messi ..by far.

But actually as a Ronaldo fan I think Messi is better. His ball control..dribbling..vision is way better than Ronaldo.

We are just ignorant motherfuckers. Everyone here don't get that they don't fucking know. You don't know who the fuck you are! this place is not for mental masturbation and parroting Leo..but I agree that "life is Consciousness". Ok fine explain what you say... What to make of this one line?.. Life is not anything other than what it is. It's actually a good pointer to disregard words.. Cuz that leave you knowing absolutely fucking nothing. But language covers this up. And I cringe when someone says reality is an illusion. I obviously don't know what the hell reality is. But I definitely know that it is not an illusion. Furthermore it's just a concept in the mind . "oh life is a dream and illusion bla bla". But all that is actually delusion in your mind. It's not actually experienced. Better to say I don't fucking know. Here's the thing.. Knowing is actually being... Let me explain.... Reading ten thousand books on astronomy explaining what the sun is won't give you a better idea about it than to simply look at the sun.. I mean the mysterious appeance. It's actually gonna get a little bit more mystical. We can know stuff on the relative pragmatic level.. But the deeper we go.. It is actually true that you don't know anything. I'm just saying it as it fucking is. Imo.. To know something is to experience it. Since all you have is experience. But notice your experience is unknown. You don't actually know what's up. But language covers this up. By giving lables to stuff. Whatever the substance of reality is.. Is exactly this present moment. This is the substance right now right here. Yet...... What is it? You know it in the sense that you know that it's happening and you are familiar with it. But it is unknown in every other sense.

Lol R u for real 😳?

But I'm aware that I'm imagining you . If I close my eyes ..you disappear . If I go to sleep..the whole universe disappear. Its soooo obvious when you think about it . .but I'm oscillating between realising that intellectually and pretending that I've never accepted this line of reasoning before. How can I forget? Leo has fucked my brain in the ass in his solipsism video jk. I feel like I'm in the middle of grandiose cosmic conspiracy 🤔.
