The0Self

Essentially -- presence/absence, real/unreal. No one separate, from boundlessness appearing, who could be alive or dead. Collapse of all context. Every distinction is insubstantial, in that the one who knew the distinction is no longer, and never was. Nothing changes yet it's indescribably different, as all description is story, and there is no story/context/explanation/cause/meaning to boundlessness appearing. In the end that's a story as well, because nothing is actually happening.

Kundalini energy has great relevance for awakenings and the apparent evolution of consciousness. There's a whole structure that the apparent individual can advance through -- the Buddhist outline for it is pretty thorough, and it culminates in arahatship, a state of ultimate detachment via ultimate engagement. But it has nothing to do with enlightenment, which is the end of mystical experiences, and the apparent end of what never was -- actuality.

'Course you could say (un)knowing is all there is -- just as long as there's nothing that's not-it (and therefore if there's no not-it, there's no it), so of course nothing is (un)known. See how the "(un)" doesn't actually even change anything.

What's done is done.

Because there is nothing finite -- there are no objects with their own separate existence. No bounds such as real story, context, or meaning. In actuality, yet contrary to logic, nothing brought about typing-on-a-keyboard, and nothing depends on typing-on-a-keyboard. Call it life, or even reality -- they're just as close as the infinite. But since there's nothing outside of infinity/everything by definition, the infinite can't know what isn't infinite, as there is nothing else. That explanation has no informative quality though.

It's more like: "Oh... What seemed to be real is equally unreal... Well that was dumb... Moving on..." What was seemingly most relevant, is simply no longer.

Reality as known and separate from unreality -- that's the illusion. Distinctions appear, but no distinction is ever known. In a sense, this is why enlightenment is associated with the absolute obviousness that there is no "higher level" -- there's no context left for any additional context to arise in, and the appearance has no real knowing or boundedness left. The connection between objects (knowing) isn't needed anymore because it's seen that it never was needed, as there are no objects between which separation could even apply, and thus there's no need to connect what isn't separate. The experience that what appears is limited by meaning or context just stops happening -- very unceremoniously.

What appears to be happening is obviously all there is, but it also isn't happening, and no one knows that. It's completely known already, but paradoxically, that knowing is empty of knowing... Just as nothing is empty of being nothing, is empty of any finitude, and is thus everything/infinite; timelessly all that appears to be.

Knowing appears, but nothing is ever known, which doesn't matter anyway. There's not just a whole lot to know, there's everything to know, which is nothing at all, which again does not matter or have any prescriptive intention. Attachment to not knowing is part of the dream of me. There is no knowing or not knowing, because knowing doesn't exist, it merely appears. Ultimately, knowing is apparent separation via connection. There's nothing to be connected because there's nothing separate. And yeah, that makes no sense at all. The suggestion is not that there should be less knowing, it's that knowing already isn't actually happening. The only illusion is that something separate is known, real, or owned, but it's already the case that there is no illusion. This, exactly as it is, is already without any knowing -- and it's equally as real as it is unreal. Nothing is needed for this to be exactly as it is, and nothing even depends on this being exactly as it is. Again, not prescriptive, or even meaningful. Just description.

lol that's probably true

And ignorance is bliss. And innocence. Knowing appears, but nothing is ever known.

From what I've seen you post on here, it's not going to mess you up. I don't know. I haven't watched any of Leo's recent videos but the most profound/"dangerous" one that I watched imo was probably the everyone has good intentions video.

Very nice. In the end, and this was very unexpected: there is no knowing. Every argument can only end in nobody being right or wrong, no matter how deep or clear the certainty or logic is. Certainty and doubt are completely illusory. There is no possibility of anything, there is simply nothing...not even. There simply isn't any separation between what appears. Which is not knowable as the knowing is itself the imaginary separation (ironically via connection) between apparent objects which aren't actually there. All there is, is what appears and does not appear (which are not two), and there isn't anything that both appears and is known. Ever. What appears is absolutely real and unreal at the same time... And it's all there is -- all there is and isn't. There's no condition inside or outside of it -- it is unconditionally and blindly itself, and has no meaning or direction. It is everything, and it is nothing. It's absolute; all there is, and yet... it's literally not actually happening. Because closed-cases, like everything else, are not available in the first place to be known, this is not a case-closed. It's an apparent description of nothing, and therefore of course has no value. There can't be a wrong way or a right way to describe what is indescribable -- there can't be a way, by definition... No way! . And yet, some descriptions seem to come closer, but that knowledge too is not actually a knowledge... it's completely empty of knowing.

Kind of, it seems. In the end though, and this was incredibly surprising: there is no such thing as more or less conscious, because there is no knowing. There is only being special, and not being special, which are not two. There's not two, period... though. Every distinction/duality/knowing, though it may appear, simply carries nothing with it... and by this I mean it is indescribably itself, blindly itself, purely itself, with nothing outside or behind it, exactly as it appears, and with nothing added on (as it's all there is) such as meaning or purpose or value or reality or unreality or anything whatsoever in particular. So in other words every argument can only end in nobody being right or wrong, no matter how deep or clear the certainty or logic is. Certainty and doubt are completely illusory. Given that, there's no "more/less conscious" possible. Because closed-cases, like everything else, are not available in the first place to be known, this is not a case-closed. Just points to the illusoriness of the "more/less conscious" mind-structure. Not for any purpose though!

Scientists know more about science. But there is no knowing anywhere -- and nobody and no scientist knows that either. Sense is nonsense -- yet it's all there is. Which is not even a knowable true statement -- there is no true statement, which is also not a true statement, and so on... Knowing nothing and knowing everything/anything are not two, and utterly empty of knowing itself or knowing something separate... There's no thing/object/subject/time/place/circumstance, and no one, to be separate in the first place. There's simply no knowing.

No one ever knows anyone else; don’t take it personally.

There’s no one separate from everything to be conscious or not be conscious. The appearance has absolutely no requirement at all for knowing, no matter what appears. In fact, knowing of any kind never actually happens. You are unknowable, and others are unknowable. Everything is the same unknowing. Self and other are not two. Infinity is not huge, it’s immeasurable; it’s absolutely nothing. And there’s no real knowing (awareness), or even not-knowing, whatsoever as there’s no one separate from everything for knowing to apply. No one knows another. All that apparently happens is void singing to void.

Yes the apparent separate ego/doer is inseparable from God’s will — it is God’s will. If by God’s will we mean everything. And if you mean something else then that’s even more of a story. The ego is being done. It’s at complete rest. There appears the imagining of itself as doing, when it’s really just surfing what is already done, but without the ability to see that... because it’s already being done; it’s not somewhere separate from this to be known — there’s no separation.

Knowing actually doesn’t require knowing — good thing, because there isn’t any. There aren’t any paradoxes. All paradoxes merely point to what is beyond knowing — nothing is everything, etc. There isn’t really a nothing or an everything which are the same. There’s simply what appears to be, which is singular, unconnected, unbounded, not separate, without meaning, and without solidity. The changing never changes. Nothing isn’t even nothing — it’s simply unknowable, not two, and all there is.

Events that apparently led to other ones which aren’t preferable — that can happen. But it’s not really regret, because there’s already only what’s appearing to happen, and no possibility of it being otherwise, and no matter what happens, it could be no other way. Whatever is done is already done. Regretting that liberation didn’t happen earlier though... Kind of beside the point, because liberation doesn’t actually happen, and in a sense it’s just the recognition that it’s all there ever was anyway. There is no self to be liberated, nor liberated from.

There’s no you. Only nothing, which is apparently everything. If enlightenment happens, you won’t be there to notice it. There is no real perspective or center to the boundless appearance.

There’s just no separation at all. You’re identified as a program which apparently exists for the sole purpose of connecting what is already not separate. There are no other lifetimes as there is no one alive, separate from life itself, or whatever you want to call everything, or what appears to be.

^^^ While finite bad is bad and finite good is good, bad without limit is good without limit, because that which is without limit is nothing.

This is already what is and isn't looked for. The not looking for it is the looking for it, and vice versa. What appears to be happening is everything. There's nothing outside of it, and therefore nothing inside of it either. Absolute emptiness at equilibrium, apparently being everything -- utterly without any limit of any kind, including logic, and with absolutely no meaning, purpose, or value, or direction, or goal. When it turns out that this, contrary to how it may seem, is literally unknowable? Oh yeah, that is terrifying.

It is completely unexpected, yes. There was never anyone on a path and no one ever does anything. Everything is being done by nothing. What's looked for hides ingeniously by already being everything. The longing for "a something" is actually the longing for exactly whatever appears to be, aka everything.
