When we talk about transcending the ego, we're referring to two very difficult aspects to release. The first is the social, tribal, collective self. Our genetic programming is strongly inclined toward the absolute need to be part of the group. You are what you represent to the group. This force is enormous; it can make millions fight to the death for a symbol. You won't get rid of it easily. It has layers upon layers. It's not an "illusion," it's programming created over millions of years of evolution. Clarifying this, seeing it directly, and deactivating it is an enormous challenge. If you read in some self-help book that it's an illusion and that simply ceasing to believe in it will make it disappear, don't believe it. The other facet is the self as form, the need to be a concrete form. The force of this is astronomical; it's an ontological necessity. You are a self-preserving form because, as reality manifested in this form, you are the absolute will to be this form, and your attachment to form is such that formlessness is inconceivable, not a possibility. Dissolving this attachment is like eroding granite, a slow but constant, unstoppable, uninterrupted process. If someone tells you it's simple, that a change of perspective is all it takes, it means that person hasn't grasped the power of form. It's a cosmic power, the power that makes life life. You have to align yourself with that power, not fight against it. Accept its reality, be one with it, and thus see through form. An interesting game.

You mean more aspects of the reality. If there are not limits always can be more aspects, but any aspect is always relative . Totality means just unlimited. It's not that you realize that reality is unlimited but that you have dissolved what limits you and you are the unlimited in a form and you perceive yourself like that all time. It's an energetic shift, not a realization. Reality is that but they are aspects of reality. You could say that they are infinite, but anything could be infinite and limited. For example the numbers are infinite but limited to be numbers. You won't say that reality is numbers because they are infinite, they are a possibility of the reality. Unlimited doesn't mean big, means open. Numbers are closed, limited to be numbers. Consciousness is limited to be consciousness, etc. Totality is not something, it's absence of limits in all directions.

If something is total, can't be more total, otherwise it was partial, right? Think about it: if something has a quality, it's partial, it's limited in some way. The whole is simply whole; it is everything. If you open yourself to the totality , you open yourself to love, to the absence of negation, of exclusion, and also to true consciousness, to clarity, but that doesn't mean the whole is love or consciousness. The whole is total; you, as a human being, are open to love and real awareness. They are two different things.

I suppose it depends on the experience. In my case, it was the opposite of liberation: absolute limitation. So the feeling is very negative, just as the feeling of total liberation is very positive. I would say that what you're describing is closer to liberation than limitation.

If by that you mean seeing something or having a direct perception of something, that's not true. Mathematics is far more effective at determining the existence of something than direct consciousness. Logic is a much more reliable tool than sight. No one has seen a proton, but it exists, and we know how it behaves. No one has been conscious of someone other than themselves, but logically, it's absolutely certain that another being with consciousness exists. It's very simple math. Sight can deceive you, mathematics doesn't

it's total. Divine, alive or aware are relative Because it's open and total. Lo mismo digo!

My point is eliminating what is logically impossible and leave only what is possible. Obviously, I don't know how reality originates; I'm only offering one possibility, which from my perspective is the only one. If you see cracks in it, could you share what they are What I meant is that could be understood that all manifestation requires structure, and all structure implies limitation. However, if reality is ontologically unlimited, as its inevitable, no limitation can be absolute. The structures that appear must necessarily be open, that is, capable of transforming themselves and giving rise to new phases. A completely closed system would be incompatible with a limitless essence, since it would not allow for becoming. From this point of view, the so-called fine-tuning would not be an external design, but rather the only possible stable configuration for reality to manifest itself without betraying its unlimited nature.

Then God would be an entity with desires, therefore you would explain the universe by placing God as the cause, but you wouldn't explain God. This is religion, and it's something inherent in the human mental structure. If you question religion, believers get defensive; that's also structural. They need that belief to maintain equilibrium. The anthropic principle is convenient but impossible; fine-tuning occurs at all levels, it is not accidental, it is structural. The only explanation that does not violate logic is that reality inevitably finds a way to allow for a limited structure without absolute closure, since reality is ultimately unlimited and a limited structure in all its facets is ontologically impossible. Structured reality always tends toward greater complexity and phase shifts. This occurs when it is possible, coherent. It is an ontological necessity that there be an opening to this phase leap; reality cannot be closed. This means that when a possible possibility manifests itself, it does so with parameters that allow for expansive opening. Any limited structure must bear the imprint of unlimitedness, since it is truly unlimitedness in a form. There is no maker or will, there is inevitability resulting from the absence of limits.

What is the property of "awareness" of a stone? A stone is not an entity that can possess something like awareness. You might think so, but it's arbitrary. Well, It's a religious way of looking at it, but if instead of adhering to religious beliefs you observe reality, it's obvious that consciousness arises when reality is structured in a dualistic way. A stone is not an entity separate from the universe; a human being is. It operates according to its own laws; it is a universe in itself within a larger universe. It intentionally preserves and perpetuates itself. In contrast, a stone is only a consequence of the laws of the primary universe; it is not separate from it. Therefore, consciousness is the interface between two separate realities that arises from the need for self-preservation. Consciousness is one way in which reality appears.

Yes, because a boson is not an individual entity. A photon is not one thing different from another photon; it is a wave in the sense that it is the excitement of a field of reality. Therefore, two bosons are not two things in the same place, but rather a more intense vibration. They are still two photons because a photon is a "quantum", but they behave like one. In contrast, a fermion cannot be superimposed. This doesn't mean it's a "thing" instead of a wave. Like a boson, it's an excitation of a field of reality, but unlike a boson, it cannot be superimposed. Because if it were, differentiated reality would be impossible. It's just a property or the fermions. Here we enter the realm of metaphysics. Why is reality organized by leaving an opening to greater complexity with such fine-tuning? Why is the cosmological constant exactly what it is? Why is the weak nuclear force such that it allows stars to burn for billions of years and not minutes? How is something as extremely improbable as carbon synthesis possible? Is there an intelligence guiding it, or does reality always seek and find the most coherent possibility that enables greater coherence, without closure, as an inherent, inevitable property due it limitlessness? Could we call that inherent property "intelligence"? Is precisely "intelligence" that property that impregnates all the reality in all it's levels?

Why? A stone only exist if someone is aware of if? Yes counterintuitive, or directly not logical. Like a religious dogma. It happens because being human we are awareness or we perceive ourselves as it, then we can't conceive reality not aware, so we Invent a a bearded god and, more sophisticatedly, a creative consciousness

If I have any ego projections, I know they're ego protections, so I don't accept them as ontological truth. What you seek in a psychedelic trip is the dissolution of energetic barriers, not understanding things on a conceptual level. That wouldn't make much sense; it would be like driving drunk and thinking you're doing better that way.

I've had many realizations like that. They mean nothing; they're projections of the ego. Have I done psychedelics maybe a thousand times? Probably more. Only total openness is absolute; anything else is relative. Any content is noise. Love, God, all of that is a construct. The total is simply total. Open. That's it. I'm open to the openess most of time, that's my basic state. No noise, not emotional change, no sorrow, no questions, no friction, just openess happening, flow state. You can't pretend if, it's impossible.

Imagination implies a creator who imagines based on a pre-existing structure and with a intention. Therefore, this creator would be something concrete, limited, that imagines one thing and nothing else. This is impossible, it's limited. Reality can only have one origin: in the absence of limits, that which is perfectly coherent unfolds since nothing impedes that unfolding. Only that which is absolutely coherent in all its facets. This is not a limitation; it is a condition for unfolding. The slightest incoherence, the smallest deviation, results in non-appearance, because any appearance is relative to itself. Coherence is the possibility of a stable relationship between elements, even if that relationship is chaotic. The source of reality is limitlessness; limitlessness implies being. Being implies manifestation, and manifestation implies coherence. This is not nihilistic; true openness to limitless being is enlightenment. It is absolute potential and the core of everything. You are that. It is not an entity; it is the limitless, and when you open yourself to it, it is absolutely obvious.

Space and fermions are similar in that a fermion does not allow overlap; a specific field vibration cannot be exactly the same two times in all it's parameters. and with respect to space, two events cannot occupy the same spatiotemporal position and same vibrational state, as they would be the same event. Furthermore, it seems that space is limited in its minimum length, the Planck length, which is logical because any structure with a shape must be limited; otherwise, it would not be a structure with a shape, and space is a structure. It has a defined geometry, it contracts and expands, it is three-dimensional. This suggests that it will inevitably have a limited volume.

Consciousness is the reality / being/ limitlessness, as you want to name it, reflected within itself. It is not separate; it is a facet of reality, a form. Let's see, if you consider consciousness to be primary, the foundation of reality, this leads you to the realization that consciousness is "dreaming" reality. This implies a center that performs an action, dreaming, and a dream that is an illusion observed by that center. That center would be you, that is, God. This view is limiting on all sides. It is ego elevated to divine power. If consciousness creates dreams, it is not consciousness; it is a dream-creating entity that is then conscious of them. Furthermore, it is an entity with a precise will: the creation of this specific dream. Moreover, it has the will to deceive itself so as not to be conscious of what it is creating. This is pure consciousness? Don't you see that this is impossible? It is limited in all of its sides. Reality is open. That's all.

"Consciousness" is not aware. Being aware means reality reflecting in itself. For reflection to exist, reality must be divided in two, and that's what happens with life. Life is a self-preserving universe with its own laws within another universe with its own laws. This creates duality. Without duality, there is no consciousness. There is no creator, no intention, only coherence unfolding. This is difficult for the ego. There is no center, no borders. It's not a mystery, it's very simple. Unlimited being is absence of limitations that makes inevitable that reality is. You can know it easily if you dissolve all the barriers and all the identities. You are, and this is everything. But this is not a knowledge, or a realization. It's the breaking of the barriers that makes possible that the being reveals itself, your true nature. It's not consciusness, god, love or anything. It's unlimited and thats everything

We would have to define what space is, which is extremely difficult. Space is not merely the distance between two points, but something with its own reality. Space has a quantum structure, an ever-present vacuum energy that, according to physics, is infinite, and it has an absolute limit beyond which it cannot be divided: the Planck length. Space is a relational structure that allows for reality as we know it, but there could be realities with other structures that we simply cannot imagine, since our minds operate in this dimension. Is the space infinite? Who knows? Maybe everything is infinite

To place "consciousness" as the ontological foundation of reality is to elevate the ego to the status of god. Consciousness is not something; it is reality in its dualistic form, reflecting itself. It's just the reality, but in registration and self-preservation mode. In the human case, also in symbolic mode. Don't you think it's too easy for "enlightenment" to be realizing that you are consciousness? The true Tao cannot be named. If you name it (as consciousness, for example), it's a false Tao.

Agree, but this doesn't mean that it's a false idea. Conceptual ideas are not false by definition; they are relational structures that point to realities. Can be accurate or not. Yes, because there is duality. Duality is the way in which reality manifests itself in a human being, or any living organism Dream characters imply an absolute center of reality: you, the dreamer. That is an absolute limit and is impossible. What you see is not a dream; it is the representation or perception of something real. It's absolutely real. There is not dream, just the reality

Appearances are always a process relative to another process. Nothing appears if it is not related to something. Any movement occurs in relation to another movement, another state. A vibration is a stable oscillation between two states in the same system. Sure, but what you call appearance is the existence. Reality is what allows existence. Reality is unlimited being. "Being" is the key. What is the meaning of "being"? Is it something? It's what is because there are not limits. This is not a metaphor, it's the reality. Limitlessness. Existence is the inevitable manifestation.

It's very obvious. Existence is the manifestation of reality. The manifestation of reality is relative movement, change, becoming. Without change there is no existence, only reality as absolute potential. But always there is change, absence of change is precisely "never". The difficult part is defining reality.

Consciousness is a dual, relational form that reality takes. It is secondary, not essential, although always present because is possible. Consciousness is reality perceiving itself. Reality is indefinable, is unlimited being.

That's a judgment in which you assign reality a category: dream or constructed and transitory simulation. This is opposed to another category: real, not transitory, whatever. By doing so, you're establishing an absolute limit on reality. Here you structure reality between an actor, the dreamer, an action, dreaming, and a result, the dream. Reality is divided into compartments due to a realization you've had that has revealed to you that reality has this structure; therefore, you now create this structured map. It's a conceptual framework you've built by internalizing teachings and through personal realizations. The point is that awakening, enlightenment, whatever you want to call it, is precisely the dissolution of all limits and all conceptual frameworks. It's an action, not a realization. Opening yourself to the totality, being one with the absolute. You can't define the absolute because if you do, it becomes relative.

I don't get what do you mean
