I think that from a logical standpoint, the explanation is very simple. The absence of limits is. Being and the absence of limits are synonymous. Absence of being would be an absolute limitation. The fact of being always manifests; non-manifestation does not occur, therefore it is not. Any manifestation happens a relative change of state. What changes state is not something, like a spirit or consciousness, There is no thing underlying change; change is the form that manifestation takes. Any change is a possibility coherent with itself, a logical equation. If the absolute fact of being emits limitless potential, the possible equations unfold, interconnect, and give rise to more limitless possibilities. It is something absolutely inevitable that needs no design; it is design itself, and it also needs no will since it is unstoppable. There is no ultimate telos. There is only the inevitability of being/limitlessness. Telos appears locally wherever manifestation produces intentional structures, that could happen infinitely but reality can't be limited to them , then even if an infinite God exist, would be just a manifestation of the openess, because infinite doesn't mean absolute. The only absolute is being, or limitlessness.

To do this, you don't have to seek openness, but rather your internal limits. But It's important to understand that the ultimate goal is absolute openness, not emptiness, God, or anything else; this makes the work much more effective. Limits always carry an emotional charge, a need to maintain stability. Letting go of all limits is terrifying; in my experience, the way to do it is to become aware of them. The ultimate limit, for me, is the subject-object duality. At a certain point, your mind is completely empty but limited to the awareness of "I am." In one part, there is a center that perceives, and in another, the perception itself, which is the fact of being. If you focus on this long enough, without any other content, at a certain point it collapses, and what remains is total openness. This doesn't mean that the mind needs to be absolutely silent, but rather that the inner dialogue becomes irrelevant. You might think, "Oh wow, 'I am,'" but that thought lacks a fundamental ontological level; it doesn't define reality; it lacks emotional charge, it's just something that appears. Even in total openness there are thoughts, but they are in the background, like autopilot; there is no need to silence them, just jump to the level where their meaning is irrelevant

I mean absence of absolute limits. Ultimately reality is that, any god, telos, anything is something that happens because there are not limits that restrict it, but if that god lose its limits, then if become the unlimited itself, and the unlimited is formless, without intention, immutable, then that god wouldn't be God anymore, just a god that is open to its true nature. Any change implies limits. Limits exist, relatively, but absolutely are impossible. Then from an absolute perspective god is just openess Its possible for any mind get open to the unlimited, that's the point of spiritual work, because ultimately it's our nature and the nature of everything. But with a frame like langans one it would be impossible because there is always a grip in the idea of telos . To open yourself to the unlimited you have to release all grips

He says that reality is infinite, unlimited, intelligent, and has a telos, a direction. This would be an infinite reality, but limited to being intelligent and directional. Unlimited implies a total absence of structure. Infinity does not imply that; even numbers are infinite, but limited, they do not include odd numbers. His entire vision is limited, enclosed; this prevents the mind from truly opening to the totality. His philosophy has a fundamental flaw, and with that flaw is a closure, not an instrument of openess

Anyway, about Langan. His entire theory rests on a logical leap. He correctly states that reality has no exterior, an obvious logical deduction, and observes that reality contains coherence and complex systems. He then deduces that reality in its entirety must be a self-aware system, because otherwise, how would one explain the perfection of these systems? Furthermore, he deduces that reality/God has a direction, a goal. Let's see, if reality is infinite, as he says, it has no direction at a total level; this is impossible. It's not going anywhere because it hasn't even started. Or in other words, if God is absolute, how could it have a goal if there is not any state that it needs to achieve? And reality can be a perfect system of unimaginable complexity without a creator, simply through self-selection of the most efficient possibilities. In short, he needs a God with a goal to explain reality. Okay, so now, explain God. The point is, the reality can be conscious in local points, but conscious as a whole if it's unlimited is logically impossible, and he speaks from logic.

You were the one who made a dismissive "meh" comment without explaining anything. If the OP thinks the video is high-level and you don't, you should have to explain your reasons, not with a narcissistic "meh," which translates to: you're not up to my standards, worm. Then the OP replies, and your response is an outburst of anger. Sounds bad, man, sounds like troubles.

That absolute truth is that you are. Anyone can understand it, it's very simple. What is not so simple is being open to that truth, to the absolute being, because our psyche is designed for closedness

Absolutely, who's going to believe a supposedly enlightened being who tells you that searching enlightenment is a mistake after abandoning his family and go to the Himalayas seeking enlightenment and being a whole year meditating in the I am, then realizing that outside alone it's cold then returning with the family, having his son working in his shop of cigarettes while he's in the top floor smoking cigarettes after cigarette compulsively telling the people contradictive explanations about enlightenment? I guess that no one

In other words, for reality to exist, a causal chain must occur, a series of consecutive events relative to one another, and this is what we call time. When a causal chain branches into two, what we call space emerges. What we perceive as space is the separation between these distinct causal chains. Or to put it another way, space is not something concrete, it is not a fixed frame, but is defined by the time it takes for a causal chain to travel from one causal node to another. And this time is defined by the relative procceses between the two causal chains.

In reality, relative spacetime necessarily appears, since without spacetime there is no becoming. Therefore, the lapse of time without spacetime does not happen because happening is a process that's involves space time. This implies that at a given moment, reality self-organizes into stable patterns relative to each other, forming more complex patterns that exist as cyclical processes. That is to say, they begin and end. But the very fact of existing cannot end, because nothing can prevent other processes from appearing. So, to your question of where I am and where the tree is, the answer would be that you are two interconnected but separate processes because without separation there would be no process and therefore no manifested reality, and this separation occurs due to the spacetime gap. The point is that the perception is the tree and you are a creation of your mind, but that creation happens with the interconnection of the tree, the light, and 4 billion of year of evolution that creates that mind that is itself a process inside of a bigger process that is interconnected with everything.

It can because you don't need to know every detail to know yourself, you just need to know your nature, what you are, and how that nature manifest. Then you don't need to know every single possible manifestation. They are just manifestations, what is the point is being open to the essence, and you can't do it now being a human, you don't need to be that god

Nice try, but it's absolutely useless. He only communicates to put himself (patheously) on top. Therefore, your explanation, from his point of view, is a tennis ball to be returned. It doesn't matter what you say; he's only going to process how to return it. Cases like this are practically hopeless. It's strange to see because it's so obvious; it's as if their minds are colonized by an absolute need for self-validation that obscures everything else, like tunnel vision. What is the funniest is if you confront his point a bit he will say: I can't help you, you will suffer. Peace brother. It's like being invulnerable to any communication, any real perception, just self validation, like a robot. Imo it's important to detect this pattern to run fast when you find someone who operates in this level, over all if she's a possible girlfriend. Can make your life difficult and sad. Usually they are not so obvious, they are half half, then you can get blind to the elephant, that's dangerous, over all is she's hot. (I talk to myself sorry)

Sure some , but they only achieve erections (and not very consistent) with huge amounts of Viagra while their lover shouts at them: You're the best! You're top level! You're alpha class!!! While they imagine that are being sodomized by Pete Hegsted Those people are too complicated, bad business.

Why he is the boss? Because he's famous?

Nisgardata, at one point, said that enlightenment is realizing the unchanging witness, but later he changed his mind, saying that ultimate reality is neither consciousness nor witness. His ideas weren't very clear, which is why his books are confusing. The unchanging witness is just a reflexive structure that's happening, it's a relative construction of the mind. It's not an illusion but a relative structure that happens when the reality reflects in itself in the process that we call consciousness

That's worse than nothing, like....I want but I can't. Depressing. Be a man, mortgage your house and buy a Lamborghini.

Well I think that explanation is a mistake because the relative world is the inevitable manifestation of the absolute, because the absolute is the unlimited fact of being that appears always in relative forms because not appearing is not a possibility, is the no space time between two appearances. Then, form is relative, but any form is absolute being manifested in that form, and absolute being is changeless because it has no form, what has no form can't change.

It's absolute as nature of everything but any manifestation is relative. The relative is the absolute appearing

No, I invented 😅, but maybe it's true

The absolute is not the sum of all relative things, but rather what all relative things are in essence. Everything that exists is existence, absolute being manifested in a form. Obviously, you can't know all forms, and besides, it wouldn't do any good. The point is to transcend form and open yourself to what is, to the absolute being. It's strange that this isn't obvious. You could know what you are because you are the absolute being manifested in a reflexive form. What better?

There are two states of consciousness: closed and open. It has no relationship with being god or knowing anything.

I already told you above. Anyway, what is an awakening? The point is being awake, and being awake means being open to your unlimited nature now. It's not a realization, any realization belongs to the conceptual relative level. Its the fact of being open to what has not limits now.

What I try is not defining the reality, it's constructing a mental frame that allows the total openess. Believe me that this is the point of spirituality. Not having some realizations but being open to your absolute nature right now. And this needs a restructuring of your psyche

Well that's true, wealth is wealth, it's power and more possibilities of a successful life and successful descendants. Why deny what's obvious

You didn't get the point. The idea is programming in your mental structure a frame that allows openess easily. Look, I can sit to meditate 15 min and being in a state more absolute than vaping 20 mg of 5meo, and do it every day unless there is serious conflict then I get in dense state for some days. So, to achieve this I did a lot of practices, lot of psychedelics and I thought very carefully where are the closures, where is the difference between being dense or open. I can do 5 meo or DMT without any change in my mind. There is strong effect, I lay in the floor, all the visual field changes, but the mind remains without change, because if the mind is open and you have collapsed the center and what remains is absolute openess, it can't be more open Then the point would be: could you do the same? Because you could, if you really want to open yourself to the unlimited, but it's not so easy, needs a correct map, not a misleading map
