  1. What you're talking about here is the transcendence of the social matrix, the inherited tribal conditioning that comes by default in the human structure. It's what's called liberation. This conditioning makes the self identify with what it is for the group. It's an essential line of software for making the human group act as a unit. Without it, we would be weak prey; with it, we are galactic conquerors (well, according to Elon Musk, but maybe is some point could be). The difference is absolute, and this conditioning is not an "illusion" or a mistake, its written in our genes with red iron. It is more powerful than the instinct for survival. The individual will give their life for the tribe without hesitation, if they are fully integrated. The problem (or the good fortune, depending on how you see it) is that we no longer live in tribes, and this primal impulse to identify with the group finds no coherent foothold, thus leading to what we might call emotional illness. A profound underlying imbalance, inherited over thousands of generations, crudely corrected with monolithic pillars of religion, nation, and social class, until recently. And today with the more volatile and hedonistic pillars of success, well-being, sensory enjoyment, ideal couple and the essential pillar of addiction. It is a structure that works, that propels the collective toward greater expansion, which is always the driving force of life, but it plunges the individual into a very complicated state. False, superficial out of vital necessity, broken inside, fragmented in their psyche, full of red lines impossible to cross. If people would look their reality in the face... well, luckily they lack the capacity to do so, or they would collapse. What you propose, and what spirituality in general proposes, is the breaking of that conditioning, the individual's escape from the matrix, which implies being without attachments. The problem with this is that the programming is real, not illusory as those book sellers with beatific smiles claim. So, if you let go of the attachment to success, a partner, sex, whatever it may be, your system automatically grabs onto another attachment: "pure consciousness," "absolute love," "God imagining," "fun reincarnations with 70 virgins," or whatever. Because cheap spirituality sells you the idea that transcendence is easy, that it's just a change of perspective. This is because cheap sells, but nobody buys expensive things, and in this case, the product is extremely expensive. You have to let go of everything and be left with nothing. Not your money and other things, but your mental attachments, which are genetic programming from when humans were monkeys that couldn't speak. Obviously, this isn't easy; it's not a product that sells. Nobody is going to listen to it, much less understand it. It's important to understand that attachment isn't a mental construct. It's imprinted in your cells, in every breath and every micro-movement. It's part of who you are. If some guru tells you, "You are not that, you are the divine," blah blah, they're already leading you down a false path of roses. They're a con artist seeking influence. Yes, it is what you are, but what happens is that what is, manifested reality, is dynamic, constantly changing. Nothing is fixed; everything moves, and change can occur and be absolute. It simply needs to be initiated in a non-evasive way. But spirituality sells escapism; it's just another addiction, like Netflix and cocaine. There is no method for liberation. Methods are precisely how the system perpetuates itself. What changes is not a belief, but the exhaustion of avoidance.
  2. The energetic structure that constitutes a human being carries a built-in self. This isn't a silly mistake or a misunderstanding, as the neo-Advaita would say; it's a hyper-complex system maintained in real time by different brain structures, refined from the earliest complex organisms to humans over a period of time beyond our comprehension. This self perceives itself as the receptive center of experience and has an absolute need for self-preservation and acceptance within the human group. All that talk of being invulnerable is fine until the torturer arrives with his briefcase. According to Zen philosophy, when you see the executioner approaching, you simply feel the pleasure of the sea breeze on your face, because that's what exists now. No, my Zen friend, what exists now is the human system, which is an extremely complex and precise mechanism anticipating events, seeking solutions, and releasing chemicals that prepare you for combat. If instead of a human you were an earthworm, none of this would happen, but it so happens that you aren't. Zen monks strive enormously to be earthworms. It's commendable and worthy of respect. Then they burn themselves alive. It's very practical, but perhaps, let's say, well, not natural. Bit forced. Well forgive all that nonsense, what I'm saying is that the mind must break its chains, not just pretend to have broken them. The mind isn't going to disappear; the mind simply is. It can be a mind trapped in its primitive conditioning, or a mind that has stared its primal demons in the face, and instead of erasing them, which is impossible, has danced with them. It has integrated them into its visible vibration and erased the barrier between conscious and unconscious. This undivided mind, sovereign over itself, with all its energies aligned, isn't "invulnerable" because it knows it's consciousness or God or whatever; it's simply not limited, it doesn't clash with itself but flows without friction. Then it recognizes itself as an expression of what it is, and as what it ultimately is. But if the guy with the briefcase comes, suffering occurs, that's inevitable, but can be relativized to some extent, maybe to great extent
  3. The question here is, what is the difference between "us" and "source"? Logically, we can deduce that they are the same; there is no "us" separate from the source, but rather "us" is the source expressing itself as "us." This might seem obvious, but even if you accept this fact, it won't change anything in your internal configuration. First of all, "us" is the form that reality has taken after eons of evolution, of phase changes towards states of greater complexity, arriving at something as absurdly complex and as incredibly finely coordinated as human society (can you imagine the synchronicity of human society at a quantum level? no, you don't imagine it, you can't) . This "us" has a series of energy switches impossible to ignore, which, from the moment you appear, subdue you in order to integrate you as a processor of the enormous human machine. Evolution has created structures that will absolutely desire to be integrated into the matrix, and their fear of rejection will be greater than their fear of death. One only has to see how millions of soldiers ran in the direction of the machine guns, and not in the opposite direction, as would obviously be logical. So how do you clarify this "we" so that it stops being a dense protagonist that subjugates you and permeates you like a sticky layer of emotional molasses, making your mind dance from one extreme to the other like a puppet directed by a guy with Parkinson's. what has you absolutely gripped, like a zebra with ten lions clamping their jaws down on its flesh? There is only one way, and it's not the one the soft-smiling mystics with linen robes and erect penises tell you about. No, it's life's way of changing phases. It's something that happens when it can't not happen, and like everything living, it manifests itself from absolute tenacity, absolute focus, unstoppable drive, and total determination born from the fact that the only place to go is forward. Then the "us" is scorched, dries up, falls away like an extremely annoying old skin, and the essence of what is reclaims its freedom. It is not "other," there is no "us" versus "source," there is no baby Jesus crying because you spend money on OnlyFans (although there should be), there is a real phase shift, an absolute mutation of your energetic configuration, a total liberation from the chains that were necessary for a collective push, but no longer are. It is simply reality in its limitless expansion. Then the source sees itself as clearly as whole, just as the "we" saw itself as a part. Eyes open, veils fall, hearts open, reality sings. Wasn't it always like this? There's a faint memory that it wasn't, that there was pain, confusion, madness. It was in another life, in another phase.
  4. As humans, the mind is a reality. Spirituality treats the mind as an error and glorifies what it calls direct perception, tastes, sounds, and so on. They yearn for an animalistic state, but as humans, that state is not the case. It's a misguided approach; the mind cannot be switched off because it is a reality. The mind is a deep sea; it must be understood and aligned so that it can express its full power.
  5. A revolution is currently underway in Iran to overthrow the Ayatollahs' regime. The population is in the streets, government buildings are being set on fire, and in many cases, the police are joining the protesters, Israel is ready to act. This is a global event of immense importance, and the news isn't saying a single word about it. Why?
  6. Both are constructions of the energetic system that you are. There is no qualitative difference. The spirituality consider one a mistake and the other true, but this is because the spirituality don't understand nothing . It's a total scam, but the scammers are also scammed 😅
  7. Both are creations of the energetic system that you are. The first occurs nanoseconds after the stimulus and is basic. The second occurs without a defined time and blends everything perceived and it is complex.
  8. Both are the same, reality reflecting in itself through the form that arises within it. The human interface can clarify density to the point that the perceiving self recognizes itself as a structural creation, opening itself to the totality and understanding its nature, but the fact itself remains the same: a self-preserved dual reflection that registers its perception, thus giving rise to an experience.
  9. Good insight. Infinity is also a misleading idea, since it presupposes an infinite, endless, enormous, and boundless quantity. Infinity is a possibility, not the essence. Essence is not something; it is an absence, the absence of limits. Reality is limitlessness, and limitlessness makes "being " inevitable. What reality is is unlimited being. Not big or small or infinite, but what makes the possibility of infinity to exist.
  10. Both are creations of the complex energy structure we call the brain. Seeing a tree seems direct, but it isn't. First, there's the tree, which reflects the light entering the retina, and based on that, the brain creates an image that a center the brain itself constructs perceives, apparently receives that image. If you like the tree, the brain, which is a quantum cloud of unimaginable complexity, takes the form of "liking," and the center created by that same quantum cloud "perceives." If you remember the tree you saw yesterday, the brain does the same thing; it takes a form that creates that image. In the first case, it does so nanoseconds after the light arrives. In the second case, it does so hours or days later. In both cases, there's a time lag, a creation of the image "tree" by the brain, and a creation by the perceiving center "self" that receives the perception. Qualitatively, it's exactly the same: reality expressing itself in coherent forms. "Brain" is not something material vs spiritual. "Brain" is the form that reality is taking now. It's se same than a Galaxy, the gravity , the time or the light. Coherent possibilities that happens due the synchrony of the form.
  11. The point is that conceptualizing is direct experience. The human mind is a living reality that emerges from animal life and ascends to another phase of existence in which the living is freed from the limitations of the material. The human mind is more alive and more direct than anything else living. But at the same time, it is a labyrinth of great difficulty. The mind struggles to align itself, just as every living being struggles to advance. The first birds made small, clumsy flights. They were the embryo of the eagle's flight. The same is true of the mind. The human mind is an interface with the totality.
  12. Experience is reality structured in a dualistic way. For reality to be structured in a dualistic way, something very concrete called life must appear. Life is a very concrete emergent phenomenon, a phase change in the forms of the universe. It is a small universe self preservated with its own laws that operates within the laws of a larger universe and exchanges information with it. This is the basis of experience, what we call consciousness. Experiencing something is the exchange of information between the two universes. Can be very basic, like a cell, or extremely sophisticated like in a human. Where is the limit? Sure we don't know that.
  13. Seeing an apple wont bring an apple to existence neither. Seeing an apple or representing an apple in the mind through logic have in common that they are a construction created by the brain. Logic is direct perception, exactly the same than the perception of the senses, but in a different level or mode. Sensory perception is a kind of perception, mental construction is another kind of perception. Both are complementary in humans. You could think that sensory perception is more direct, but not more real. Both are equally real, both can deceive you in some cases
  14. If the consciusness wants anything, it's an entity that wants, not "pure consciousness" right? Then why they call it consciousness? The play doh is something, a concrete substance. Is the reality a concrete substance too? What is that substance? The consciousness who wants things? So a concrete entity. Same than an ego but bigger. So that entity is the only thing that exists. Then the reality is limited to a substance that wants things, and there is nothing outside it. So the only consequence possible is that that substance is you and the field of your consciusness is a dream that you are creating because some reasons, but because other reason you are hiding to yourself that fact, that's why you can't fly or change anything, and everything that you perceive are just images that you are creating to deceive yourself. Then the infinity is let's say small, just what you see, hear, etc. Well, and you hidden creating it to deceive yourself. What called deus ex machina, an exit to explain something that is, let's say, impossible to explain. That's the problem if you don't dissolve the ego. Then you create a bigger ego, that seems bigger, but it's more limited than the previous one
  15. Your sensory perception is an indicator of reality, but it's far inferior to the logical mind. Through logic, you can, for example, deduce the theory of relativity, something you can't do through sensory perception alone. Logic dictates that there is a changing reality outside your room. Your sensory perception captures what is inside your room. To think that what your sensory perception perceives is real and what your logical mind deduces is false is a rather strange philosophy, like being flat earth or any other obscurantist mentality typical of people who feel threatened or inferior by their low intellectual level and seek an emotional outlet to place themselves above the others.
  16. Love is an expression not a path. It's the expression of what you are. You can't change the expression, you can pretend that you do, but then you are false. The biblical commandment that says: love God, love your neighbor, love your enemies, is usually a call to hypocrisy. The real path is open yourself, be what you are, don't try to be another, don't try to love, don't try, just be. You are the expression of the reality, your depth has no bottom , your perfection has not stain. If you could see what you really are, you would relax any control.
  17. You know everything. You are, that's everything. Forms are just forms.
  18. In spirituality, there's a bias against the conceptual, as if the human mind were some kind of error we should reverse to reach the level of a cat, sheep, or cow, which live in the present moment without conceptualizing. The conceptual mind is a structure that reality creates and that has the power to understand basically everything. It's another matter that our minds usually operate trapped in emotional limitations and aren't free, but a free mind is a divine instrument.
  19. I don't think that there is a true self and false self, there are different levels of self-density. As a human being, there is always a self; the self is the perception of oneself as a self-preserving individual. Completely eliminating the self and becoming a monk who doesn't care about starving to death and doesn't perceive himself as an individual is perhaps the closest thing to no self or a self of minimal density, but what's the point of reaching that point? The optimal approach seems to be a balance that allows you to avoid being trapped in egoic density, but also allows you to operate effectively as an individual, while still having the possibility of opening yourself to the limitless at certain times.
  20. The matter is very simple and at the same time enormously difficult. Simple: you simply sit down to meditate for two minutes and the sensation of being a self disappears, and what remains is the totality, and the totality is absolutely nothing, and this nothing is everything. It's not a self; you are that, but it's not someone or something, it's the unlimited totality, period. Then you, the self, see with total clarity that, as a form, you are a construct that emerges. If you were to die right now, nothing would essentially change. In any case, nothing essentially changes. Complicated: form traps you; you are form; you can't stop being form. You change form and perceive yourself as divinity, consciousness, love, God, whatever. It's still a self. The absence of self is the absence of everything, absolute emptiness, and that emptiness is everything. Extremely simple, extremely difficult
  21. Existence is the manifestation of reality. It is a dynamic process that happens. Non-existence is a conceptual idea; it is the idea of what is missing in that dynamic process, for example, Santa Claus or my grand mother or the full moon last night Non-existence is a concept that points to something that could be possible in my conceptual frame, but doesn't exist.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
