Moksha

That is more of an astrophysical question, but yes, if negative mass/energy is real (physics does not preclude this possibility), a person could theoretically step into one entangled wormhole, and emerge at the mouth of the other entangled wormhole, at a time that is earlier than when he entered the first wormhole. Science has already confirmed the relativity of spacetime. It is not ultimate reality, so all kinds of craziness is possible within the spacetime dream.

Surrender the attachment to your thoughts. They are not you.

@BlackMaze Thank you for asking Conscious questions ?

Have you read The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts? The need for certainty is what keeps most humans chasing the holy grail, when it was within them the whole time. Embracing uncertainty is the ultimate liberation.

@BlackMaze Good questions that you will have to answer for yourself. For me, enlightenment is the human dharma, so yes, I consider it to be important. So what if life is just a game? It is still a divine game. Why not play with unconditional love, rather than cause yourself and others to suffer?

To navigate life, it is necessary to think in terms of little "you", even when you realize that You are already everything.

@BlackMaze There you go trusting your intuition again As long as enlightenment is a goal to be reached, it will remain out of your grasp. Enlightenment is nothing more than waking up to the reality that you are already perfectly enlightened, or more directly, that you are light.

It comes down to conscious intent. When our conscious intent is pure, we don't overidentify with any particular perspective, and thus are free to realize the panoramic beauty of all perspectives. When our conscious intent is impure, we overidentify with a fixed perspective, and become bound by it.

@BlackMaze I believe for most people, enlightenment is a long journey of mini-awakenings, until the light finally sticks. Tolle is an exception, where his suffering was great enough that it catastrophically woke him up. In any case, enlightenment is a realization, not an achievement. Tolle helped me a lot, but it still took years and a lot of suffering, before I directly realized what he was teaching. As he likes to say, we only suffer until we realize that we no longer need to suffer.

Peace, brother. Glad to hear you have tasted the goodness of the Gita. You have realized a lot of truth, but...stay on your meds too Who would have guessed that Joseph was right about everything being made of intelligence?

@SourceCodo ?? Consciously reading, and being, the Gita is pure enlightenment.

Enlightenment is exactly what it means: the state of being filled with light.

This makes me reconsider the value of honest criticism. It's a fine line to walk, between speaking your own truth, and judging someone else for being wrong. As long as the feedback is sincere, it can be constructive. Maybe people like Zak would benefit from more open discussion like this. @AdeptusPsychonautica I have never followed Leo's teachings, and have only seen 3 of his videos. Still, I'm grateful for the forum he has provided, and I have learned from the people here. I get the cult concern, but not all of us are drinking the Kool-Aid

@SourceCodo Thank you for your kind words. I hear you, on the inherent divinity and respect for every form. Sorry for all the words here, but it is something that needs to be said. When people first awaken to non-dual reality, it is easy to dismiss themselves, and the entire dream world, as an empty illusion. For them, it is like falling into a void. There is no meaning. I call it a conceptual awakening, where they realize who they are not, but have not yet realized entirely who they are. The spiritual awakening is when the third eye opens, and you see Consciousness infusing itself in every form. Here is the Mystery that is directly realized, but the mind cannot comprehend. We are not only dreamless Consciousness, but we are also Consciousness itself, within the dream. Even the dream is sacred, in this sense. It needn't be taken too seriously, but also it deserves to be honored. The Bhagavad Gita points to this over and over again. God is not only the creator of the universe, but God infuses and expresses itself, throughout the universe. God is not only what is, but God is also what is not: Lord of the gods, you are the abode of the universe. Changeless, you are what is and what is not, and beyond the duality of existence and nonexistence. You are the first among the gods, the timeless spirit, the resting place of all beings. You are the knower and the thing which is known. You are the final home; with your infinite form you pervade the cosmos. When I first came to the forum, I engaged in some god battles with people who saw this differently. I have learned that there is no value in these feuds, only the risk of invoking ego. How typical of the ego to claim that it is more woke than someone else ? Pointing out our differences rarely, if ever, leads to enlightenment. Each journey is worthy of respect. At least, that is how I see it @Arcangelo ?

@Red-White-Light ??

Fair enough. For me, enlightenment is the permanent state of seeing spiritually. The acuity of vision comes and goes, based on what is needed, but the eyes are always open.

Sweet Nothingness doesn't resonate for me, because it implies infinite darkness. Emptiness is closer. Spaciousness is closer yet. Being is where its at, from this limited perspective.

Setting aside the metaphor and the opinion, what do you realize?

@BlackMaze What does your intuition tell you?

Is there any light, intelligence, abundance, or consciousness in the nothing? Or is it utter blackness?

Sorry, my mind just realizes that way. More directly, when you feel grounded in nothingness, what is grounding you? Is anything pulling at you, at the same time?

Being grounded in nothingness seems oxymoronic, until you directly experience it The image that arose for me, when I first discovered it, was floating in an infinite void, sitting in lotus position on a circle of light, noticing the ego spiders scurrying along the void walls, and trying to ensnare me with their webs, but vigilantly staying centered in the light. The spiders have nothing to attach to, as long as you unconditionally stay centered. ?

@SourceCodo The secret sauce of spirituality is unrelenting sincerity. Don't sell yourself short. You have that. ? Creating your own reality is about attention. It is not about intentionally altering reality, but about what you attend, whether intentionally or not. Whatever you attend, you amplify. Which is where "god" comes in. One of the realizations I've had, here in our schizophrenic family, is that people experience god according to their own lens. If their god is different from mine, that is completely ok. The only thing that matters is my direct experience, and the same is true for you. So, where does big-God come in? The more Conscious we are, the closer we are to realizing God, but even then it must be through the lens of our localized experience. For me, it is the withdrawal of our human senses, and the opening of our spiritual eyes. I see the same Consciousness in everything, and everyone. It infuses every form. It is literally all of this. When you realize it in this way, there is an unconditional love that arises, which you never thought could be possible. You have a sense of the sacred, and I feel that profundity too. There's nothing wrong with retaining personality, and continuing to exist in duality. The wisdom, as I see it, is not to overly identify with any of it. Trust your spiritual eyes, because they see truly. Just how I see it, I hope it helps ?

@SourceCodo If we create our own reality, must we not also create our own God? Unless, of course, there is no we.
