I agree, the only manifestation is align yourself and work for your goal

I think it's something as simple as a few years ago almost no one approached women on the street, then suddenly it started to be talked about and more and more men did it, until it became commonplace and women started to show annoyance at it, and men stopped see themselves like "brave who act face to face" and started to perceive as "stalker who's rejected" I think it's ok approaching women but not like serial killer who approach anyone but approaching from the true interest for this concrete woman with the idea of finding real connection and affinity and then let's see where it leads to I think men should stop seeing sex like an achievement necessary for our self steem, that's the toxic point of everything . Seems that men doesn't respect ourselves, then we don't respect women

You started a topic, I gave some ideas, you started with that of, you are not awake, then ❤️❤️, I know that the most Smart position is ignore the fools, but it's stronger than me. Anyway, ❤️😘

Oh, a passive aggressive heart, that means that you are enlightened! I thought that you were just parroting Buddhism, like a obedient believer, but that heart show me that I was wrong. High level here. Just an idea, oh wise. If you say that forms are illusion, you are saying it from the form, because illusion vs real has only meaning in the human form, then , it would be also an illusion right? Absolutely meaningless. Affirming it I mean. It would be exactly the same than "real". It's simple enough for you? Just put a heart if you understood it.

Ah ok, you are awake because you adopted all the Buddhist paradigm and you use the wild card "you are not awake" if anyone put any objections to your beliefs. This is nothing new.

I was thinking about what do you mean. Maybe for you the self was a kind of concept that was happening all time in your software and in some moment it got dissolved and your mind got free of that. But anyway there is still recognition of the fact of being, it's not that "someone" recognizes it, but that exist that recognition. For example, if you are in coma, that recognition disappear. Then in coma there is not self, but now it's self because there is registration of the change, and this implies recognition of the fact of being. The point is: who recognizes it? Well, we don't need to make mess with it: the human structure implies this recognition, and this recognition needs information, difference inside/outside. This recognition of the difference is the self, and it's absolutely real. It will finish when you die, but now it's real, and when you die this self reflexive structure will happen again and again, just because it's a possibility, and always it's "you" because "you" is the fact of knowing that reality is, it's a property in the reality that happens.

He says that any thought you could have about God is just a thought then it's limited, but I think that's he's wrong, for example I could think: god is unlimited being. Then, where is the limitation of that thought? He also said: you are just a part of reality, and thoughts are a small part of reality. But it isn't true, because the reality is, and you are, then there are not parts, are modes, forms. If you want to be open to god, or the absolute or anything you call it you have to focus in the essence not in the form. You can be totally open to the unlimited and perceive right now the unlimited being, and realize that's your ultimate nature. You don't need to know all the forms, only the nature of form, and you can express it in a thought: unlimited being. Quite simple, you don't need to be a genius

You could say that the other ultimately is the same than you, but he's still other. Without other there is not experience, because experience is relationship, and relationship means two or more things, states, in relationships. So saying that it's an illusion maybe sounds enlightened but there are still two

How could be that? There is a brain, a body, a extremely complex procces that is taking place and we call this "person".it's not unreal, it's interconnected with everything, like anything else, but as a process it has it own reality. Saying that is only a belief turn spirituality in a mess, because means denying direct perception as false. Why to do that? It's not necessary, you don't need to twist the reality to open yourself to the unlimited.

The question is not if God exist or not but what is God. If for you God it the unlimited reality, for another a dreamer with an intention, for another is the fact of existing, etc, then it's pointless saying that god exists or not

My main problem with Buddhism is the issue of emptiness. According to Buddhists, nothing has reality in and of itself, but only through its relationship with other things, and from this they infer that ultimate reality is emptiness. From this, they deduce that enlightenment is reaching nirvana, which means "extinguishing your candle." They're already saying a lot there. First, the fact that all reality is interconnected doesn't imply that it's empty, and their bias towards silence, being static, ceasing, etc., is simply a bias, and a rather strange one at that. If reality is relationship, wouldn't it be full of relationship? Buddhists tell you to look closely until you see that reality is empty. They're already telling you what you should find at the end of your observation. So, their silence on other metaphysical matters perhaps simply means they're not interested; they just want to cease.

Buddha is very easy to misinterpret, I often do, but I would say that in essence he points to the truth. Superficially it seems like a self-help strategy, but deep down what he's telling you is to break down the barriers, and what remains is the truth, what you are. He doesn't explain what that truth is, because it can't be explained, since that truth is you. You are the fact of reality being conscious of itself. What Buddha calls dukkah, attachment and desire, are the veils that keep you in a contracted state, blind to yourself. Enlightenment is the end of that contraction and the opening to your true nature. The problem with Buddha is: there is no self, self is imaginary. That's a mess imo, there is self, the self is the fact of knowing that you are.

So for you enlightened is changing your mind paradigm? Then now you think that reality is a dream and that's it? Well, that's what I meant with mental projection

Maybe they had that god realization and it was a projection of their mind

Maybe I imagine what Ramana maharshi what to express and I'm wrong, and I thought you meant the same thing. For me, there are like two types of meditative states. One is being in the pure fact of being; it feels bright, expansive, perfect, and vast. The other is opening yourself to the depth of what you are. It feels deep, alive, connected, and sensual. I have the feeling that for Ramana Maharshi, only the pure being is important to him; the depth doesn't interest him.

It depends how you see it. A determined form has an end, but if you see form as permanent change thats happening, it hasn't end, one form ends and other begins. I see that your perspective is similar than Ramana maharshi perspective. For both of them, reality is absolute being, or rather, the consciousness of being. What they call Sat Chit Ananda. Shiva, the pure, radiant, immutable being. Ramana was enamored with that; for him, that was everything, and everything else was illusion. But for me, that is just being conscious of the fact of being. There is still a closure, which is why Ramana (and you) describe form as illusion. The fact of being is obviously immutable, but it is, let's say, a flat dimension. There is a lack of openness to the profound dimension, to the living nature of reality. Continuing with Hindu terminology, Shakti, or Kali. The creative and absolutely living character of reality. For me, Ramana has fallen in love with one dimension while denying another; when you read him, you notice that lets say limitation. It's not he's not enlightened or anything, it's that he's totally open to one aspect and the other doesn't exist for him. As I see openess means be open to both aspects of reality and see them as inseparable, both are one. Creative power is not an illusion, it's the essential character of reality, the inevitable manifestation of the unlimited. Absolute being opens your mind like wide dimension, unlimited in wide direction, unlimited creation opens your heart in the dimension of depth.

Just that consciousness is the reality being aware of itself, not the reality. It's an emergence not the foundation. Consciousness is the reality in a determined structure, but the reality is not consciousness, allows consciousness

Yes, everything that happens is the product of a causal chain, but we are part of that chain. We can't decide whether the sun will rise or not, but we can choose between multiple variables at every moment, and this choice is not totally predestined, it's absolutely impossible because nothing is fixed, but rather highly probable. It's never 100% certain, not even that the sun will rise tomorrow. Heisberg's uncertainty principle states that it is absolutely impossible to know the location and direction of a particle at the same time and Bell's inequalities shows that a local universe can't be determined (more or less I ve to read deeper). Not even with an infinite computer containing all the data of reality would it be possible; it's a total impossibility. So you are a local, autonomous operator in the chain of causality, constantly deciding between variables within your narrow margin of choice, but those choices unfold along the chain of causality, creating large effects in reality. In fact, they unfold to infinity. Of course, every other point of that chain is also making choices every moment, because the reality is unfolding at real time, it's absolutely impossible to know how are going to react all the particles and waves in the next moment, it's a property of the reality . Well, at least this is what physics points, there are other theories, but they seem forced

Then the infinity would be finished, so it would be finite

Those realizations are normal taking psychedelics, it's like the typical psychedelic realization when you can't really dissolve your ego. Look: Solipsism during a psychedelic trip is a profound existential insight or delusion where the user feels their consciousness is the only absolute reality, and the entire universe—including other people—is merely a projection of their own mind. [1, 2] How it Manifests The "Dream" Realization: The world often feels like a highly elaborate, infinite video game or lucid dream that you are orchestrating, breaking down the barrier between subject and object. [1, 2] Loss of "Other": During ego-dissolution, the distinction between the self and the environment completely blurs. If there is no "other," the mind concludes that everything must be self-generated. [1, 2, 3] Why the Brain Does This Psychedelics reduce activity in the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN), which is responsible for ego boundaries and distinguishing "me" from "the world." When the DMN goes offline, the brain struggles to categorize external stimuli, leading it to interpret all perceived reality as an extension of the observing consciousness. Long-term Impact Research indicates psychedelics frequently cause users to shift away from hard materialism toward metaphysical views like panpsychism (the belief that consciousness is a fundamental property of all matter) and solipsism/idealism. While often fascinating, this can be jarring and is sometimes categorized by therapists as part of "existential distress" or feelings of unreality if not properly integrated. [1, 2]

How could everything be predestined? Its impossible, it only could be if we assume that reality is finite and it's possible to know all the variables, if it's infinite there are infinite possible combinations for the future. Even you are god with an infinite computer you can't compute infinite variables, the result would be always infinity

The Big Bang is a perfect equation, open at its core. Had it had the slightest deviation, it would have collapsed the moment it began.

It's impossible to know all the manifestations that are possible because are infinite, but it's possible to understand the mechanic of the reality. For example you could know that any manifestation is relative change and that any relative change is logical. You don't need to know every possible relative change, just knowing that any manifestation is relative change

An atom is much more complex than a clockwork, with the gluons being created and destroyed inside and all that mess of the fields interacting that endures 10 follow of 30 zeros being stable

I don't think that there is a god and a dream, you could say that there is absolute unlimited being and that's the source of form because the form emanates from the unlimited always, it's the unlimited manifested. The unlimited doesn't want it, it's inevitable. It's not a creation, it's the necessary emanation of the unlimited. If the unlimited "wants" it would be limited. As I see this world is the reality, could be another form of reality, but there are in the same level of reality. Being human we get lost in our dense structure and we can open it, but the reality is the same, only the level of openess changes. Same, that's why I talk here, not to convince people but to refine my perspective and mental structure. I do because a certain structure allows the real openess. It's not important knowing, what is important is that our mental structure is not a hindrance, and this is not easy
