The0Self

The body can still be insecure, there's just no one in it. It has sexual; food; companionship needs. What is insecurity if not need? There's just no real need -- but then of course, no real pickup. Thus, enlightenment is literally, simply useless for personal endeavors of any kind at all. Spiritual development, on the other hand? Yeah, that will almost certainly help with pickup if you do it right -- not that I know what the right way is, but Metta and Jhana absolutely seemed to help.

I used to think it would when I had ideas about what enlightenment would be like. Metta definitely helped me in pickup, but enlightenment/freedom/liberation? Liberation is obvious: what is; what seems to be happening. Additions to this are not real, therefore there isn't anything actually happening, which is simply everything (what seems to be happening)... and this is that... How exactly could that possibly help with pickup? lol

You don’t know the answer to that either ❤

? Yes... I am real therefore I am real is a super simple illusion and it apparently collapses from time to time here even without practice, but at first, there was great difficulty. After consciousness illusion is seen through (no here, so no there), “you” can still attach attention to awareness. It can seem to happen. Seeking out positive experiences, love, etc doesn’t have to go away... it doesn’t require an assumed subject. Nothing is happening either way. I must know (false), therefore I know (false).

If unwilling to do self inquiry (it’s hard work), you can try attaching attention to awareness alone instead.

Collapse of real time and space, revealing infinite matrix... from which, you come out the other side, miraculously. Witness practice was kicked up a notch ever since I did it, after already becoming fairly conscious and deconstructed. K-hole with relatively less conscious development is more just a great fun time playing with an astral body... After God-realization, immortality-realization, and infinity-realization have seemed to take place in one's journey, k-hole becomes more powerful than 5-MeO-DMT for... well for what exactly? The point, as I see it: loosening your attachment to progressively greater (well, more subtle) structures of mind/claim/understanding, so that identification becomes malleable enough to be as fluid as spacious nothingness, allowing entity contact, and progressively deeper God-realization, which never ends, it seems. Even more powerful combined with a psychedelic, but these days I would never do that. Certainly not at a k-hole dose -- I would not be coming back, I'm afraid. I cannot even describe what is sure to happen if I were to take ketamine + psychedelic now.

If by all you mean infinity, that cannot be known. There is nothing else other than infinity, so nothing can know it. And yet God knows everything. A contradiction. God-consciousness understands the universe -- that is what reality is -- it's a dream of trying to know the infinite (there is no reality).

Again, there is no reality. Truth, or Being, or what is, is all there is. If (it appears that) one person believes one thing and another believes something else, that's a disagreement, which causes strife. If there were no strife, there could not be overcoming of strife, which would be a limitation of what is -- there is no limitation. There is no mistake.

You believing that, is what is. Yes, however from here it's quite obvious: while Truth and Being are the same, Reality is a dream. There is no Reality. Truth is neither real nor unreal.

What is.

If anyone reaches them, then common truths = common beliefs. Truth cannot be arrived at -- it's all there is.

^^ OP: Especially if you've never tried psychedelics. If you have, then I'd say perhaps forget about it for the time being, and do self inquiry. But if you haven't tried them? Maybe plan to at some point in the near future. No rush, but there's definitely some potential there.

Well it's not actually happening. So yeah. What else is there to do though? Lol. Just be you, or not. It doesn't matter. Possibilities are endless.

5-MeO-DMT seems to work quite well. Self inquiry also. Basically just step up your game. Not saying you should do that; maybe just gently imagine it as a possibility to make the dream more rewarding and meaningful. It is rewarding and meaningful, but at the end you'll just realize that you were already just a manifestation of perfection. Though that's not even the end. This work literally goes infinitely deep, because it isn't actually happening -- it's just an assumption attempting to understand infinity, which is boundless.

Constant self inquiry. Who knows there's an I? It's circular. I imagines it's there. Eventually what may occur is the revelation that nothing is actually happening. It's all a dream -- understanding the universe into existence by trying to make sense of infinity.

Just so you know, it might take a bit more than that

Oh ok I see. You don't understand yet that it is possible to understand the entire universe. It's in fact, the only thing you ever do, you just haven't had the requisite higher states of consciousness to Real-I-ze God. It is possible. I did it, Leo did it. Love did it. You did it. Though of course, nobody really did it. Good luck.

The meaning of "I understand the entire universe" is God-realization. The base of "I" is God, which understands the universe into existence. You're identifying with a particular perspective in that understanding, so this seems like something other than what it is.

I cannot ever get it.

Again, that's making sense of what is, which is impossible, which is creation, which is a miracle. Every single claim you make will receive that response from nothing. Not that I'm enlightened, but that is coming from nothing. I of course don't actually know that.

That's making sense of what is, which is impossible, which is creation, which is a miracle.

Not always You don't actually think that though. (Assumption) thinking (assumption) thinks that is just what appears.

You as God literally create reality via pure belief. You believe prior events cause later ones, for literally no reason (important), and this, along with every other belief, become a sort of empty self-fulfilling prophecy. This doesn't mean you can personally choose to believe a reality that you personally just want to live in, on a whim, though. These beliefs are a consequence of attempting to know the infinite, which is impossible -- but that's what creation is. The infinite cannot be known, since there's nothing other than it... So if knowing appears, what seems to be known is necessarily not true. But again that is God creating reality, though God creates itself timelessly with the belief in a real subject. When truth appears (which is all that ever happens) that appearance is neither real nor unreal.

For me it is not like there are two modes. Thoughts, etc are "already there," as you say -- the apparent cause of them is "making sense out of infinity," which is Creation, but since they are infinity (which is all there is), there isn't really a cause. And if there were a cause, it would still just be infinity. The thought of being stuck in this duality is just the infinite appearing as a position or identity. Look at your hand. It might look like a hand, but it's not actually a hand. What it really is, is simply everything, since everything is all there is.

I’m just conveying my (God-taking-this-role’s) understanding (all understanding is illusory). For me, ‘what is,’ is all there is, and many would call this God, but from my understanding, that is wholly inappropriate, simply because what is, is not conscious — it’s simply everything; there is nothing apart from everything to be conscious of, or to be conscious of everything from. Calling it The Christ is maybe slightly less problematic (don’t forget, this is mere understanding and therefore not true). I/You aren’t really conscious, but God makes experience (Reality) out of basically pure magic: belief — If you have not yet understood that facet, it can be a trip, and here’s a pointer: you believe that prior events cause later ones for no good reason (that part is important), and this is “why” time appears real / IS Real-I-zed... and THAT is God creating Reality! With the entire structure of beliefs, timelessly of course. Yes, we are in fact talking to ourselves, from the perspective of God, but from the perspective of Truth, which isn’t a perspective, there’s nobody in this body and nobody in that body — this is just absolutely everything appearing as anything. The limits of my understanding are approximately at the question: is the body a belief even when there’s no person in it? This is a serious conundrum, since when there is no person, there may still be beliefs appearing, but none of them are taken by a someone as real, seemingly, possibly (though probably not) EXCEPT for beliefs which are pragmatically needed to seem to exist to so-called others. The answer is: Obviously not, because appearance is neither real nor unreal, but that’s only obvious without a perspective... When coming from a perspective (God’s), anything can appear to be made real. Of course, that’s just understanding, which is itself God-realization, and illusory.
