Someone here replied to Someone here's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Because everything in the universe is contingent..everything depends on other things ..therefore there must have been something eternal and doesn't depend on anything else . -

The most fundamental thing ever (and there has to be a most fundamental thing ever to give rise to anything at all that exists ) is pure presence. It's present all times and all places and in all conditions.. Right now and before an hour and after a million years . "Consciousness " in the sense of "perception " is not that . i get that spiritual teachers call ultimate reality as "consciousness " but it can be confusing . -

Two sides : 1-there is something that is always present and ever-present. Whether you are awake or sleeping or dead or whatever. And it doesn't need conscious attention to give it existence or credence. 2- conscious attention obviously is not ever-present. You can create a distinction between pure presence which is always there and conscious attention which is not always there. -

@theleelajoker totally relate with you. what i have found is inside of my being there is emptiness. Literally there is no one or thing inside of me .yet I observe my thoughts and my actions or reactions as something the body is programmed to do .then I say that others are also empty vessels like me and all I hear inside of me or in the crowd is silence. -

Sure ..in the sense that if we don't use language or concepts and just sit in silent meditation in a thoughtless state then there is no question about the nature of direct experience or whether it's solipsistic or not . But the difference is I'm using "direct logic"..which means I'm investigating direct sensory experience as it is ..whereas you are reasoning about additional layers of abstractions (relationships ..casuality ..point of views ..absence of limits etc). -

What is immediately present here and now. -

Totally agree . Also ..give yourself the love .don't expect true love from others . -

This argument is 100% correct ..coherent..and consistent with itself logically. However..I'm NOT contemplating solipsism logically. I'm contemplating directly by testing it against direct experience. Not logic . Logic is second order reality .direct experience can never be wrong. -

Body and mind and experience are not me . OK. So what are they ? To whom do they belong? -
Someone here replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I like this inquiry. You do Have a point . Finally you make some sense 😁. But let me ask you this: if Truth was present without body and mind and experience..isn't it also present with body and mind and experiences ? -
Someone here replied to Someone here's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah I'm aware. The raw direct experience is a collection of sounds and visuals .. the mind creates out of that egoless cocktail an illusion of "object ". Like now I'm holding my IPhone. There is no IPhone it's just a stream of visuals and sensations ..but mind fills in the blanks . -
Thanks for sharing .I heard that milk and banana smoothie is good too .

Yes I do .that's why I shared this tip. I'm aware of the negative side to eating too much before sleep like gaining fat or lack of recovery during sleep because the blood goes to the digestive system to digest the heavy meal instead of rejuvenating the body and can potentially trigger vivid dreams or nightmares .also increases blood pressure and heart rate as you mentioned . However..as I clearly said this is like a hack for overcoming chronic insomnia. if you can't sleep for days you won't care about the not so serious downsides of eating late .

There is never ever anything other than direct experience. Direct perception of Eiffel tower is a visual and auditory experience . A Thought or memory or mental image of the Effiel tower is also direct experience but is not made out of visual perception or auditory perception..rather...mental shady vague image in your mind . -
Someone here replied to Someone here's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Look at it..the answer is literally inside the question. You hear the voice but you don't see her .therefore what exists is the voice not the imagery. Is this accurate in your opinion?
