The point is that the formless being is precisely the form. The form is how the formless being manifest always. The point is getting out of the level of the valoration. It's an energetic level where valoration with emotional charge is happening every second. Then you place yourself in the level of the being, where there are no differences, there is no good and bad, just existence. Anyone who's permanently placed in this level would appear as normal, and talk normal.

No no it's real, when I talk about that it's totally deactivated, with zero charge. If I had that crap on my mind all day, I'd be dead or I would be not far. The thing is, the human psyche is designed to drive you to total war over issues of belonging, identity, and family. This has created civilizations, empires, mobilized masses, and generated war and massacre on a scale that, if we imagined it, would make us think that being human is horror. Well, that's exactly the nerve behind my, let's say, mental problem. It's like feeling that your human reality was being surrounded by demons in disguise who actively sought to plunge you into darkness, into the deepest, most suicidal depression, into a world without any light, trapped and isolated in a mental prison of obsession and shame. And they did this because that was their nature. So, if I enter that mental loop , the feeling is overwhelming. But I know how to completely deactivate that level; that's what I talk about here all the time. Openness and all that. It's the opening up of the actual experience, of the reality that is happening now at a level that transcends the human and is situated in the totality. Without doing that, it's absolutely impossible for me not to enter a state every 10 minutes that mixes hatred with despair, sadness, and utter nihilism. Maybe I'm very dramatic, but that's how it works for me. You might say, "Look, that's life. There are people who were in Auschwitz and they don't complain so much." I don't care. It's not a choice; it's how my psyche works in "dense" mode, so I have to be in "open" mode all the time, otherwise it's literally hell. This doesn't mean that the dense mode is illusory, I could enter in it easily, it still exist, but if you are a step above it's like it would be nothing, just an structure. Then you see any structure as alive, and perfect. Not perfect because it's good for you but as an structure. Something alive that exists, that shines, that is interconnected with anything. All the reality feels alive, you can open yourself to this life and being one with it. There is no loneliness because you are one with what is, you are that, and it's shinning with all it's power right now. The point is being able to be as open as it's possible, everything is here, there is no lack, it's absolute joy. But just in the next level, the dense one, it's hell

Or any other issue that activate the programming of the psyche. For example, if you're a teenager and no one of the opposite sex is interested in you, it will cause suffering. Or if you're a trader, if all your stocks keep falling and you fail repeatedly, or if you experience loneliness and isolation, or if your wife is a toxic narcissist who accuses you of raping your three-year-old daughter because she wants to leave you for someone else and needs to invent that story. There are thousands upon thousands of events that will always generate psychological suffering, given the nature of the human psyche.

The distinction is purely conceptual. There is suffering in the field of current reality, and it exists because of a predictive and self preservative mechanism that actually exists. What we call the self is precisely that mechanism or process operating at different levels.

In my case, I can describe it clearly. My normal psychological state, my human identity, includes hating a good part of my family with sick passion, contemplating what they were like, and feeling a kind of crushing sadness at the fact that such low and vile people exist, that I am related to them, and the malignant dynamics they imposed when they could. This translates into self-hatred, or rather, the feeling that I should be dead. I mean, in the past I wake up in the morning and this feeling appears like a wave. It's basically as if I suffered from a mental illness. This has forced me to find a way to overcome it. Before, I used the method of avoidance, but in the end, it's useless. So, what I can now do quite easily is enter a mental state in which the current reality, this moment now, is the alive reality. For this to happen, the duality between me as a subject and the perceived experience must disappear completely, because if it remains, no matter how much I try to tell myself that this is real, that subject will quickly be crushed by hatred and that. The breaking down of the subject-object duality is an energetic shift that occurs in the psyche and is reversible, but once you have broken the absolute subject-object barrier, it becomes increasingly easier to reopen the framework and break down the boundaries. Then, when the present moment is total and completely unstructured, it is perceived as alive, luminous, bright, and free. And the ego identity is perceived as secondary. It's real, and it's important to understand your reality in order to relate with the other people as clean as it's possible, without tricks and avoidances. But it's energetic load that defines it as absolute lose its reality. It doesn't define you because you are indefinible, you are the flow that is happening, the life that is living, the openess that is manifesting and this reality now, and all it's power is clearly felt. The difference is absolute. In one side you are dead, in other, alive.

Well, psychological suffering is always possible, even you have transcended the ego, it doesn't means that it disappear absolutely. In hard circumstances it would appear again. So, if psychological suffering is happening, who would suffer? No one? But suffering still is happening, and its psychology. For example if the doctor tells you, or me, that we have cancer in the brain. Would you suffering happen or not? In my case for sure

All was ironic, seems clear right? Are groups of people who feel that are better than the normies, who works and struggle, because they have money or privileges, then they don't want to merge with the dirty struggle of those normies that are so low and who work for them giving they food and clothes, and medicines when they are sick

Yeah, the reality, manifested as humans, is stupid. It should be different, and we, the enlightened people, know it. We are much smarter than the stupid reality, that is always doing stupid things. Yeah it's sad to talk with that stupid people who don't know that everything is consciousness and infinite love and that you are dreaming everything. Would be better to be in an ashram where only people who knows the absolute truth is admitted, not those inferior ignorants. Yeah sounds like enlightenment

What reality ultimately is is limitlessness, which is synonymous with being. Being is not the consequence of the absence of limits; rather, limitlessness is. Everything that appears is inevitable manifestation, possible possibility, manifested potential of the unlimited.

Yes, the discussion isn't whether the self exists or not, since the classification between existent and nonexistent can only come from the self. The point is a total change in how experience is organized around it. That is, you can position the self as secondary, not essential. What is essential is actual existence, and the self is something that occurs within it. Obviously, the self is real, since it exists. It is a human function that integrates memory, prediction, social status, and the pursuit of success as a living organism. But the reality of what we are is not limited to that; rather, it is the fact of being within which other things occur this self. It's not like: ah, now I'm identified with the existence, then I think I'm that, but really being it now without any limitation. It's the only way because any trick wouldn't work. If the self produces suffering, it would still produce it despite your tricks, the only way is the real transcendence of the self and the only way to do it is the real openess to the absolute being.

For me, it's the fear of ceasing to be yourself, of losing cohesion as an individual, the stable structure, the defined process that you are, that for you is the same than disappearance. Looking at this fear feels like staring into a boundless abyss and merging with it until you vanish. There's always a part of you that clings on, that doesn't relinquish control. Little by little, it becomes possible to a certain extent, until at certain moments a total dissolution occurs. This isn't something you do because you disappear; reality continues to exist, but there's no center that controls and receives experience; instead, there's a total absence of structure. Obviously, this isn't being dead, but being dead or alive is exactly the same for you at that moment, a total absence of difference, desire, control, and ground. Imo this is the point where we have to focus, if you can do this, not totally at will, but create the conditions to this to happen time to time, then your psyche restructures itself, slowly but without pause

Of course it's extreme, and I couldn't be detached of the humans, I don't care about the heat but about the society. But what I mean is that this not absence of preferences, it's an special ascetic preference. I respect it but they say that they achieved a state without preference, and I don't see it

What could be God? If God is something with a will that create things, that god would be just a god. Ultimately, what could be the absolute cause of existing? Only the absence of limitations, the fact of that there are not an absolute restriction to the fact of being, it would be impossible. Then reality is, and being appears as relative manifestations without limits The human mind has been created by evolution, by the interaction and war that life is. Being means that what's possible appears. Human mind is possible, then it is.

You don't need to be taught, just breaking your inner limits. It's the same for anyone in any time. A tiger is different, it's a natural hunter taught by millions of years of evolution.

That's the main principle of Buddhism. Imo it's an impossible ideal. Those arhats use to be in Tibet in wonderful natural places right? What if they were working 16 h per day in a factory in Bangladesh? If anyone tells them, what would you prefer, return to the Himalayas or here? Maybe they would answer :for me it's the same, I don't care, everything is the reality. Give me 2 hours more per day if you want

Id say that enlightenment is a state of the human mind in which the barriers have dissolved and there is no absolute difference between reality and mind, object and subject; then the mind perceives itself as total, unlimited. Not to be confused with solipsism, it doesn't mean that you are creating the others, just that the absolute limits have fallen, the relative limits always exist. You could think, well, I already know that the reality and me are one, can't be otherwise. Yes ok, but the difference is about perceiving it by default without any closure.

Yeah, the problem is that who is observing with attention to understand is the same object that should be understood. For example, if you stare directly to the fear of death, this fear is not something out of yourself, is one of the main structures that constitutes what you are . If you try to understand this fear by the structured mind you could get a conceptual understanding, but the point is stare directly without the filter of the mind. It's not easy because it's hidden, that's why imo it's easier to start with more accessible fears, like trauma. Trauma is the key to be able to understand yourself, because it's obvious.

Since the dawn of humanity, there have been shamans, people who claim to be in contact with the source of creation. The term "enlightened" varies greatly depending on the tradition, but it always has commonalities: equanimity, detachment from worldly matters and power struggles, and often celibacy.... In other words, someone who is more there than here. Before Buddha, there were the Advaita Vedantas who went alone into the forest in acts of extreme ascetic renunciation. Such people also existed in ancient Greece, and I suppose in all cultures. But the definition of "enlightened" is still undefined, and I suppose it never will be

What you said about exposure is true but imo what is the most important is the understanding of yourself as a psyche, all the layers of need of belonging, fear in many levels, need of control, etc, and look directly all of those energetic structures that shape you as a human mind. In my case I did because I had a lot of bad mental and emotional vibration, then I realized that living in that way was a trap, a solution must be found, then I started looking inside obsessively. Anyway, spirituality is in many cases a kind of patch, a solution for everything that works denying everything.

Good reflection. I agree; few people will seek transcendence of the ego unless forced to, but in theory, it's not always like that. For example, Buddha was a man who had everything: his life was joyful and vibrant, surrounded by people who loved him, happily married with a son. But intellectually, he realized the trap of the ego, and he couldn't bear to live in it any longer, so he abandoned everything to seek liberation. In real life, I'd say absolutely no one would do that, and Buddha is certainly a legend, but even so, he is Buddha.

The fundamental idea of Buddhism is to completely transcend the human matrix, totally and absolutely, to release all desire and attachment, and in this way open yourself to the absolute, being it. This cannot be explained because any explanation would be relative. It is a fact, an action, a reality that occurs and which they call nirvana. Their intuition is accurate and their nirvana real, but in my opinion, you can open yourself to it without becoming a Buddha indifferent to life and death.

Yeah, seeing that is essential, imo. Humans are social beings, and this generates constant tension on various levels. Buddhists try to turn off that aspect, to extinguish your candle, as they say, and become an absolutely alone being, outside the social matrix, a person without attachment or desire who can spend two years in a cave in absolute peace. For me, that's like giving up in some sense. The idea is to be able to be open to the total but at the same time be part of the matrix, to have attachments to your friends, to try to contribute something positive to humanity every day. To be within the friction and suffering inherent in being human but with a door open to the absolute. Absolute openess is empty of structure, but it is. Imo that's enlightenment, being open to the absolute being, but others would think that you need to be like Buddha without attachment and desire, one with the openess.

Imo that would be just a possibility, not a necessary telos. Without limits it would happen infinitely, but just because nothing prevents it.

Maybe you feel in some way but you don't understand exactly why. Maybe things are much deeper than they seems

It's full of being, that's the point. The only way to realize the nature of reality, yourself, is that. If you manage to dissolve all the barriers many times, in some point for you it's very easy feel the unlimited in any moment, it's like right now you are that all time not just in meditation. It's not that the individual disappear and not you are nothing and you don't think, it's that the individual and thoughts appears as secondary and openess as essential, all time. It's not an idea but a change of frequency. Saying that forms are illusion, or maya, it's an idea that arises in the form. Forms are forms and that's it, you don't need to define everything, just to be open to the total, and try to be one with it, aligned with it. Even you are open to the no frontier you could get obsessive about money, jealous, sex, revenge, hate, and those funny programming inherent to be human. The point is being able to get out from the dense level easily, or at least possible. Emotions of the body are essential. The trauma is printed in the body. When you release trauma you could feel seriously sick. It's like that in every breath you take the trauma is codifying every micro movement. It's common to feel separation from your body, don't being connected with it to hide dark areas and can function. The process of openess implies being totally open to your sensations, because there use to be lot of unconscious tension in the body that keeps you isolated. The point is being in the reality totally present, open, without psychological protection. All the mental bubble that keeps us isolated is psychological defense, layers that we created due pain and fear to can function in the world
