Ha! For me is the same. Ok there is a self, there is no time, there is no thing, reality is an illusion and time too...I do psicodélics and I intuite , even I see, but my mind ask: why? Why??? A infinite self alone in the eternity of the no time? Why????? There are other "self's" in other dimensions? What the hell is that? I think the only way is surrender, but for the ego is difficult. The ego needs to know, develop, go, do

Good advice. Think that even the people and the reality that us perceived is an illusion, is existing as illusion , so the other people exist. Illusion or real are only concepts. The point is go beyond the concept, forget the need of understanding , the mind can't understand

Sometimes I have the perception that I'm not me, I'm who perceive and that "me" is like a puppet , and there is not "when I die", because the time doesn't exist, there is no movement, so when you die you are not going to merge with the nothing because you are already merged right now. The question for me is: why all of this illusion? Must be for something. All is too perfect.

Time is infinite because there's no time. It's not like a flow of time that never ends, is a no-time, all in the same moment without movement. So that "all" deeply can't be something. There's no time and no thing. How to understand that and the world that we perceive? I don't know

?About marriages and money, ok, could be....but about the intuition, it's really difficult to know. Some people have a really smart mind, they understand all the concepts and ideas, they had read thousands of books, and may be they had had some experiences. Maybe even they think they are enlightened and they aren't. I think doubt is absolutely necessary

I would consider that maybe just because he realized the Self doesn't me he has access to all the skills possible Maybe because the only skill of the self is creating all the reality and the reality is exactly how the self "want" and there aren't "skills" but who knows

You are right! I blame and judge him too fast. But I can't avoid to feel he is a fake. Maybe he isn't. But a scale of different levels of enlightenment with numbers, and miracles like healing his eyes ring the alarm bells for me. And I have the idea, probably wrong, that when you are enlightened you live the human relationship in another level, different that get married and divorced 3 times. Married? Who needs that? I'm judging, I know, but when anyone say: hey I'm enlightened, the way to get it is this, is normal to judge, because there is not a way to know if he is honest or a fake money maker

@Adamq8 could be! Who knows the willing of the conciousness@JosephKnecht Hawkins I the man who established an numeral scale of enlightenment? Who decided get the enlightenment and goes 1 year or like that to a retirement and finished enlightened , and after that he earned some millions selling books and got married.3 times?

many famous enlightened masters died of cancer, some quite young, like Ramakrishna. I suppose if they could have done something about it they would have.

Where is the point with illusion or not illusion? There are only mental distinctions. When the body finish, the ego finish too. Most people here are triying to go beyond the ego to experience the being that is not in the time. I think as you experience more that being and less the ego, death is less important, but still important, because the ego, illusion or not, exist. Go absolutely beyond the ego? Its possible to I think, but why dont let the ego be? Knowing that you are not only the ego, of course, perceiving the infinite as much is possible, but giving to the ego the importance that it has. At the end it's going to dissapear

Incredible the video of the woman and the gorilla, we are really close of the animals

@Tim R yeah but animals always repeat the same patrons , for example, a group of chimpanzee, in the jungle, in the zoo, anywhere, do almost exactly organisation, when they are more than 60 the group get broken and another male start another group. Humans have this kind of patrons too, but are absolutely heterogeneous. There are humans designing computers same time others are in the jungle living in the prehistory. Animals have language but only to say danger, love, hunger...etc. only humans build histories, that's why we are crazy . But it's another particularity. Our brain is capable to understand the mathematics of the universe, the relativity, the quantum mechanics. A man from the prehistory could understand the relativity if anyone teach him.

But really special animals. The only animal with language. I read that is a law about language, the pif or piff law, in all languages the most used word is used double times than the second one and the second one double times than the third one...in all languages, even the oldest and tribal languages...so language is in our genes, and language creates the ego...so could say that the ego is in our genes

The toxic people rarely know that they are toxic! Usually they think that they are really good but the others are so bad with them...the problem is that they always find another who wants to start a toxic relationship, and get toxic together. If you are in a relationship with a toxic person, probably it's because you are toxic too

Absolutely. Past summer I challenge myself to approach at least 3 girls every day in the street. It works 10% and no works 90% aprox, maybe less, sure for a more handsome guy works much better (it works I mean have a conversation, change number and have the possibility of a date), but the fact is: you feel good with yourself, you want anything? Go for it, simple. 2 the girls who accept your conversation and want to meet you again think that you are courageous, not another one who needs the official place where is allowed to start a contact: a club with loud music and drunk people, or tinder... pathetic. 3 it's funny 4 more times you do, you do more natural. Problems: you could feel bit looser if 30 persons rejects your approach...but be strong , if you find "the one" sure you will feel better with yourself doing like that than in a tinder date

That your memories, your identity and your ego dissapear, so it's better get them dissapear right now

Thank you! Every time I read your posts I laugh for 5 minutes

It's interesting. I think that the animals have not ego, or not like us, since they have not a language. Even social animals act mostly by instinct, and they belong to a determined environment, they can't adapt , improve their life conditions, evolve. Only their genes can, so they are absolutely free in sense that they have not to take decisions. Wonderful freedom, sure it's great to be any wild animal

Forget the ideas and the concepts. Spirituality is about forget , not about change your actual sistem of thoughts for another

Good attitude, you have to be absolutely esceptic about anything that you didn't experienced. But if you realize that the egoic path finish in misery maybe you ll want to dissolve as is possible the jail of the ego, and in places like this one you can get ideas of another people with the same porpouse , some of them smart an experienced, could be really useful. But forget dogmas and beliefs

You as god are doing things in an extremely complicated way. Maybe god is pure love but look like a gamer

Exactly. So if you, as god, have decided to have this experience, is it not egoic to seek full enlightenment? not a way to try to escape from this experience? . you as god have created very firm barriers that create a separate identity. Why dissolve them permanently?

@Sam Johnson i think I me who misunderstood you, sorry

So are you thinking in the ego manipulating god? For what?

@StudentOfLeove if reality is "only" a dream of the infinite eternal conciousness ...it's real enough, don't think so?I am an avatar, a form created out of nothing, like a soap bubble that at any moment will dissolve in the void. but real enough to experience the wonder of the world. More than enough
