He doesn't believe in them. He thinks as a finite being you're simply helpless and you can't control anything at all.

You're always coming in clutch to brighten our days and lighten our existential worries Love you, tuku

Lmaooo I told you right away didn't I? I just knew you'd be back shortly after. Well then, welcome back!

No offense but you're not the only psychedelic junkie here. And why does it matter anyway? You said it yourself, nobody is ever gonna wake up by discussing things on a forum, and yet that's the only reason people are here.

Have a Snickers?

I don’t believe you. You’ll be back here shortly after. If you do leave though, then good luck on your journey.

Y'all are really going crazy because @MisterNobody dared call the guy a genius. It's not that serious. @Squeekytoy Nice try, but no. You're simply not getting the message he's trying to convey in that text. See how I bring it to your attention without trying to fix you? Well, voila!

No, read it again.

Damn that's crazy. Happy for you I'd like to try this as well. What technique in particular are you using? Any resources (links) or tips? It'd be much appreciated.

You're misinterpreting him because you two are seeing things from 2 wildly different perspectives. He's too conscious about the fact that this dream doesn't have any true significance, even if it seems like it. Imagine it as a hyperrealistic videogame. Therefore, he's not attached to it. You and most people are, you attach value and credit to it and think it's the natural order but it's not really. A dog's turd and the entire Cosmos are one and the same, as well as the lack of both (death). He knows when the lights go out, he'll realize he was the whole console with unlimited access to every single title. He knows no one's losing anything when they die because there's no one in the first place since God is all there is. This is something you can't truly grasp unless you're in an expanded state of consciousness, otherwise, it'll just be dismissed and interpreted as dangerous, which is what Leo is trying to avoid by not going further into it. It's a "most-people-aren't-ready-for-this-conversation" type of thing. I'm just trying to explain it to you, that's all.

You should just say it anyway. No one is gonna go that far just because you say the grass is greener on the other side. I mean, most people believe in a heavenly afterlife already and they're still here. Personally, it brings me a little peace to know that if life ever gets too horrendous I can just momentarily shut my brain off and quickly put an end to it. Never understood the people that undergo extreme abuse for years like the ones at the Nazi concentration camps. There's nothing worth living for after that even if you do survive after a few years... you're gonna be so heavily traumatized at that point such that even freedom will just be more torture. People love to pride themselves in some airy-fairy "I endured this and that, I'm a winner" even if they're actually discontent inside. For what? Just so that some strangers that don't really care about you can look at you and say "wow, that's impressive" and then just go on with their day forgetting about you a few days after. It's unbelievable how far we'd go to appease people who won't shed a tear if we get run over by a truck the next day, and the craziest thing is society romanticizes this warped <no-pain-no-gain convoluted with fake, superficial relationships> concept like it was something to be proud of, and that too at the exclusion of everything else. Truly heartbreaking.

How and why? This is one of the most fascinating areas for me. If you could expand on it, I'd really appreciate it

Doesn't God plan everything in advance sort of? Since every timeline exists, every possible ending within the dream ends up as the dream, in whatever form it is, realized as God. Think about it, right now I'm in my room and I'm about to head out. I'm not conscious at all whatsoever of how this room is being constructed but I know that the rest of the house awaits me as I open the door, which again, I have no clue how I'm constructing. So everything God is lies here but we are limited to a sort of firewall that doesn't let us see that there actually is an infinitude of things going on behind the scenes. Now that could not be the case and paradoxically I'm creating it all without being aware of it at all and with no process involved either so, if that's the case then I wouldn't know.

I’d like to know as well.

I was like three-quarters in and then it lost me... sort of bored me, so I left it there. So I got to see the "everything" and the "everywhere" parts and left off right when the "all at once" part was about to begin. Found it pretty silly tbh, too goofy for my taste, so I just assumed it's dragged on like that till the end and didn't bother finishing it. Is the combating the sense of nihilism and meaninglessness part near the end? I might've missed the most important part and if so then I'd be glad to finish watching it.

Hopefully I get to see it like this as well

Beat me to it lol I need to start taking Yoga Nidra's practice seriously. You know, as much as it interests me (obsessively too), and do know it's real, I'm actually scared of shifting and also being really good at manifestation. I just get this feeling that it's a surefire way to take the blinders off and really see the pointlessness and meaninglessness of one's own existence. You realize whatever pain you've gone through for years and still go through had no purpose, you suffered just because. You realize you always had the capability of having a perfect life, but didn't, for whatever reason. That creating a whole Universe out of thin air is no harder than drinking a glass of water. That all the grandiose things in the world like creating a space company and becoming a billionaire after years and years of relentless hard work could be solved in an instant and that you could spawn a trillion dollars out of thin air, or a spaceship capable of interstellar travel without even knowing how to build one, which means they're not grandiose after all, we just projected that onto them based on what we knew. Suddenly everything is equal, a mentally challenged guy eating dirt and a genius at the forefront of science are the exact same and no better or worse than the other. It's the ultimate invalidation of everything you are and everything you thought you knew both good and bad and I don't think I'm ready to face that, like my brain is blocking it and I allow it. But at the same time I do want to remember who and what I am and not stop myself from evolving as God and all that it entails. Besides, shifting to fictional universes of movies and series I've seen sounds incredibly thrilling. Idk man I'm so conflicted. Running ultra-marathons, getting divorced, losing a friend, getting fired from a job... all that sounds pale and a lot less scary to go through than confronting all of existence in its raw form, it's almost like humans weren't meant to do that because it goes against their programming but here we are. I'm just rambling a little but do you relate to this at all?

I wish I could be aware of this right now. This world makes me exhausted. Goals, a high-paying job, getting married and having kids, having a big network, etc… It all seems so pointless and foolish to me but I need all that to be a productive member of society, someone people can look up to, make my family proud yada yada. I’m not entirely sure why but all this seems so comical to me for some reason, like there’s actually absolutely no necessity for this at all, like it’s some comedic play where people take themselves super seriously and shit. A fantasy story that’s taken as real.

Glad to have you back! Can you expand on these two? Also, how do you manage to spawn things out of thin air? I knew about a couple of scientists who were able to do this but their procedure was extremely hard. Sadly the guy in charge of that project died in 2013.

No, I'm pretty sure I already told you and another guy a little while ago to watch his Solipsism video again because you either forgot about the content or didn't pay close attention to it. He is extremely clear when he says only one's POV exists. He even explicitly said that whatever I'm aware of with my 5 senses (my ego perspective) is the entirety of existence. There aren't multiple experiences happening alongside mine, no multiple POV's. Seriously don't even try to make this into an argument and rewatch that video first, but pay full attention this time because he was super clear about it.

@eTorro that sounds pretty crazy, and scary. But, what you’re saying is that this other bigger paradox is apart from God? So there’s God and there’s this other thing that can’t be known? Implying that God isn’t the only thing in existence, not Absolute. I remember reading something similar in the book Conversations with God and also from an Indian sage who said there’s even a greater reality beyond God consciousness, non-duality, etc. But I feel like that should be us as well, and that while we can’t access it in our current state of consciousness, once we’re dead we might find out. I mean why would this other “paradox” create and trap God? For what purpose? And if that’s the case then there has to be an ever bigger paradox than that one, so on and so forth. I think you might be on to something, but I get the feeling this other greater thing beyond infinity is us as well, just currently incomprehensible to our current state of being.

Very nice. Happy for you. Do you mind expanding on this? Life as in "Andromeda's life" or are you referring to the entire Universe? Like, are there infinite more creations/layers that aren't in any way like this Universe? No resemblance at all. In other words, them being unfathomable to us. And this too. Why is life the way it should be? What makes it so? Isn't God deciding how it is and therefore if it wanted it to be different then it would be perfect as well? So if it wanted humans to have wings both that and our current version would be perfect. I'd ask why it isn't important but I imagine that since every possible future both good and bad already exists you could literally take the cruelest, most negative and sadistic choices in the entirety of your life and it wouldn't make a damn difference than if you had been the living image of Jesus. I mean there may be more stuff there to make a case for how important life is but this alone renders reality completely meaningless.

Honestly, it's so conflicting. I wish I knew. People here routinely say that they realized only their perspective exists and whatnot and I'm sitting here reading their stuff being fully aware with my 5 senses like "bro???". And it makes me think if I'm lowkey telling myself that I'm alone through them. Then there are people like inlytened and Leo who straight up tell you that they have no inner experience and you're just imagining they do but at the same time there are others who disagree with them so you're just left confused. I mean why tf would they claim such a thing? The cynic in me tells me that it's their black hat marketing tactic to gain more visitors and subscribers, but again, this is just a speculation of mine.

Lmao it's hilarious, isn't it? I feel extremely held back and attacked every time I question my parents or extended family (or anyone else) as they fall into these categories. The funniest part is that even when they're looking at someone with an opposing view it is dismissed because they "know better". I think people really are plain stupid and I wish I could understand why this is. It's kind of an oxymoron but I feel stupid for not truly being able to understand their stupidity, which quite frankly angers me deeply because it hurts that I can't have a meaningful connection with those close to me and really most people. But what I really hate the most is that adults really believe that JUST because they're older they understand the world better, can take better decisions, and give advice that I supposedly wouldn't be able to comprehend because I'm younger. BUT I DO. The world and people operate in a way that is very self-evident and pretty straightforward to understand. I see adults make the shittiest and most childish choices all the time, really what those extra years over me give you is that now you're more attached to your worldview than you were before. It's not like they're constantly evolving, most don't. My grandpa thinks my grandma should always obey him and not leave the house without his consent, and surely this is the best advice I could get because he's way older than me, I couldn't possibly make a better choice with such a naive mind. How ridiculous can they be?

What does it imply?
