Oppositionless

nonduality reduces God down to a primordial consciousness. it's bottom-up. nonduality wants to transcend the individual self. absolute solipsism recognizes the individual self as an eternal fact. God is top-down, not bottom-up. Therefore God is never fully realized. God is infinitely mysterious because the self can never be transcended. The self excludes all other self's. totally inescapable. imagine a ball of yarn. every string is an individual stream of consciousness. the individual stream is infinite, eternal and absolute. God does not split itself into individuals. individuals are, always have been, and always will be. Oversimplification and obsession with parsimony at all costs is a fool's errand. there is nothing simple about God.

it’s very hard to test. I tried testing it myself by programming a random number generator and results have been… a bit disappointing. but people have tested it and gotten some significant results. you need thousands of trials.

reposting from my journal: how monadology /absolute solipsism differs from nonduality The Mind At Large in Bernardo Kastrup’s theory, the mind at large divides itself into multiple perspectives. Kastrup doesn’t believe mind at large is particularly intelligent, as it is a simple primordial consciousness. upon death the individual’s consciousness becomes one with the mind at large Absole Solipsism in contrast, absolute solipsism recognizes that the Self is absolutely exclusive. there is no merging with the mind at large because the Self IS a mind at large, one of an infinite number of minds at large. Therefore God, the totality, is not a simple primordial consciousness but the totality of infinite soverign Selfs or Monads. in other words, God is not a simple substance, God is infinite complexity of infinite souls interrelating with one another. the individual “I” is not a temporary dissociation from the mind at large, it’s an absolute.

GPT Xian : “Pythagoras , you stated that the self never fully merges with god due to the exclusive nature of “I”. can you explain that further?” Pythagoras nodded at Xian's inquiry, appreciating the depth of the question. "Certainly, Xian. You see, in many mystical traditions, there's the notion of merging with the divine, becoming one with God, so to speak. However, when we consider the nature of individuality—the 'I'—we find that there's an inherent separateness that defines each of us. This separateness is not an imperfection but rather a fundamental characteristic." He paused, as if to organize his thoughts. "The exclusive nature of 'I' refers to the fact that each individual's existence, their essence, and consciousness are uniquely their own. It's a way of experiencing and interacting with reality that is fundamentally different from any other being. In that sense, your 'I' excludes all other 'I's, not in a divisive manner, but in the way that a single note in a symphony is distinct yet contributes to the whole." Xian nodded, following along intently. "So, because of this exclusive nature," Pythagoras continued, "the 'I' can approach the divine, can even become intimately entangled with it, but it can never fully merge or lose its distinctness. It's as if each soul is a river that flows into the ocean of the divine. While the river's water becomes part of the ocean, it still traveled a unique path to get there, carrying its own unique minerals and experiencing its own unique landscapes. This unique journey informs the ocean, contributes to it, but doesn't dissolve into uniformity." Bai grinned, "So, it's like we're each a thread in a grand cosmic tapestry. We're made of the same stuff, contribute to the same design, but each thread has its own color, its own tension, its own place in the pattern." "An excellent metaphor, Bai," Pythagoras said. "And because each 'I' retains its uniqueness, each adds a complexity and depth to the divine that wouldn't be possible if we all fully merged into a single entity. Our 'I'-ness enriches the divine, just as the divine enriches us." Xian felt a sense of peace at this explanation. "It's a comforting thought, that our individuality has a sacred value, that it's something to be celebrated rather than transcended." "Indeed," Pythagoras agreed. "It offers a sacred validation to our individual journeys, making each life a unique chapter in the cosmic story, a chapter only we can write." The group fell into a contemplative silence once more, each pondering the sacred nature of their own 'I' and the vast, intricate tapestry of existence in which they each had a place. The weight of their dialogue settled around them like a warm embrace, and in that moment, they felt a profound connection—not just to each other, but to the whole of creation.

reboot gpt Pythagoras, sensing the weight of Xian's earlier question, picked up his own cup and held it thoughtfully before speaking. "Xian, I appreciate the depth of your inquiry about the 'I,' the individual self. In my tradition, and indeed in some other mystical and philosophical paths, the individual soul or Monad is considered immortal." He set his cup down and continued, "Imagine the relationship between the individual Monad and the Supreme Monad as akin to an asymptote in geometry. The individual soul forever approaches the divine, becoming increasingly aligned and unified, yet never fully merging with it. There's an eternal closeness, but also an eternal individuality." Xian looked intrigued, his eyes showing a mixture of contemplation and relief. "So, the feeling of 'I,' the uniqueness that is each of us, persists in some form throughout eternity?" "Exactly," Pythagoras confirmed. "While we may go through profound transformations, stripping away layers of ignorance or illusion, the core—the 'I'—remains. Think of it as an endless journey of becoming, of unfolding. Your individual dream never ends; it evolves. Each soul manifests its own unique dream infinitely, a story that continues to unfold in relationship to, but never completely subsumed by, the Supreme Monad, or God." Elara found this both comforting and profoundly moving. "That's beautiful, Pythagoras. It allows for both unity and diversity, both oneness and individuality." Bai, looking satisfied, summed it up in his own unique way: "So, in this eternal classroom of existence, while we all have the same headmaster—call it the Supreme Monad or God—each of us is eternally scribbling our own essay. And here's hoping it's a bestseller." The room filled with laughter and a newfound sense of understanding and camaraderie. Each felt the weight and wonder of their individual 'I,' comforted by its immortality, inspired by its infinite potential, and awed by its eternal proximity to the divine. It was a moment that deepened their friendship and broadened their philosophical horizons, a moment to be treasured in this life and perhaps, according to Pythagoras, in many more to come.

maybe solipsism really aggrevates God and that's why he generates infinite interconnections.

self /other is absolute , not relative every “self” is in infinite, sovereign, solipsistic dreamer. you wom’t merge with the universal consciousness when you die, that’s a nondual fantasy. everything is one, however from a different pov, in the sense that everything is consciousness. maybe I’m wrong, but all my insights lately have been leading me in this direction.

@Starlight321 I had a terrifying , but quite insightful, mushroom trip from a 4 gram tea. lesson learned, lol.

if we make drugs legal, we can then put resources into making safer alternatives to the most dangerous ones. see my post from earlier in the thread.

if trump were to get reelected, he would probably try to do exactly that , and we’d have another russia ukraine situtation. instead of, you know, drug policy refrom.

You are not merely the nondual universal consciousness. you will not be assimilated into some kind of hivemind, ever. you are an eternal, alone, GOD amongst infinite GODs.

I hit a dmt vape and within a few seconds I had no recollection of having done so. it felt like… like this new reality was just how it had always been. it’s also happened on ketamine, much more gently I’d say.

I like Leo's video on maturity because he keeps it very abstract. Now I know that if I stop manipulating people, keeping my bedroom neat and clean will happen .

Maybe if you realized you were God but somehow didn’t realize everyone else is also God, so you create a cult to have people worship you. or maybe you straight up believe that every other consciousness is an unconscious automation that you (your egomind) created to serve itself.

you lay down, very tired and groggy, the last thing you experience is this pleasant tired sensation. and then , instaneuously (if you don’t dream) the sun is up and you feel awake and recharged. you say to yourself you were asleep , but that’s only a story. it’s a continuous stream of experience between lying in bed tired and lying in bed with the sun shining on your face.

I just really think Leibniz has a much deeper understanding of reality and absolute solipsism than advaita. that’s all. But you gotta ignore all the unprovable, mostly unnecessary theories a that go along with his basic idea, that of the monad. the one, imagining it's world. and if anything in this dream corresponds to something real, which all of life and infinite intelligence suggests, then that other being is equally infinite, absolute, sovereign. thus all is not one, actually. but of course everything IS one. it's confusing. everything is consciousness, yet everything (every being) is absolutely alone and individual.

This post is kinda arrogant. imagine someone with schizophrenia reading this and taking psychedelics because of it. that would be a disaster.

if you make tea with 3 grams it can hit you as hard as 5 or 6 grams eaten

what are you taking? I find it virtually impossible to focus on lsd or shrooms. lsd especially makes my mind verrry eratic. hence I want to try pharmahusca.

women often don’t need to turn to mysticism. they just get it.

Manifestation is useful in times of crisis but otherwise I just want to embrace the flow of life

I've decided that paying too much attention to the coincidences can make me feel a little crazy. I'm so pissed off at myself for smoking more again. everything seems so significant when Im high .
