Matthew85

@Razard86 How do you know that there are? Are you on Earth in the Milky Way galaxy? Or it that only a story you tell yourself? Perhaps all that exists is what is in you present experience. If everything is equally perfect why do you seek knowledge, insights or change? Do you prefer being sick with the flu or being well? Both are perfect. I prefer expanded states. Perhaps God is playing the game of imposing limitations to experience transcending them.

While I agree every state and experience is perfection in it's unique way. I guess it comes down to preference. When I achieve expanded states, I much prefer them. Even as God, preference doesn't go away. The human experience is very specific. Why did you create the sky blue or women to have two breasts instead of four? This indicates a type of preference. While everything is perfect, we still have preferences. For example, you could be in prison or free. Both are perfect. Which one do you prefer?

@Leo Gura I would imagine in the state of Absolute Omniscience, fear does not exist.

@Leo Gura I am often shown analogies of films and film making in dreams when I ask questions about reality. I must have really wanted to forget I was God because this limited character of Matthew is really difficult to shake. Try as I might, he keeps reasserting himself.

@Leo Gura In Absolute Omniscience I'm sure the awareness that you think of as you was present. Can you describe from this state what your understanding of Leo was? Is it a mask you construct that dampens down your awareness?

@Edvardas Leo would say if you awaken deep enough you will realize you constructed Ryok and your session with him. That doesn't mean he isn't sharing some truth. I'm sure people will be debating solipsism forever. Ultimately the only way to know is to awaken. In my experience seeking answers from others is always a mixed bag. At best they offer some truth mixed with distortion. Leo will say no teacher can give you the truth, but then ironically he offers courses and is a teacher.

Not speculation or parroting of ideas and belief's you read or heard from others. What truths or insights have you personally awakened to and verified enough that you are now completely solid in their truth? If you can share your method for receiving your insight's, that would also be helpful. Thank you! One of my own is that consciousness is not generated by the brain. I became certain of this after many out of body experiences.

@Leo Gura Can you share some insights on reality and consciousness that at this point you are 100% solid in their truth?

@Breakingthewall Thank you for sharing! I have had similar insights in the past on mushrooms. In very expanded states I became aware how I was everything and experiencing endless unique experiences all simultaneously. When I am contracted and focused as Matthew I have no awareness of them. Leo has a different perspective on this. He feels when infinity is being Matthew that is all that exists.

I'm sure he is being true to his experience as best he can. It doesn't resonate with me though that infinity is limiting itself to only my single bubble of experience.

@Brivido I agree. Saying everything is imaginary is not particular helpful or useful. I like your suggestions.

@amanen I don't think we can limit observation to only the very limited senses of the human body.

This intuitively feels more true. Thinking that for example the moon doesn't exist when you are not looking at it is saying the relative finite mind is constructing all of reality. The moon still exists whether you look or not because it is held in the mind of God.

I do feel there are absolute truths. Things that are true under all circumstances. I don't agree that everything is equally true just because someone chooses to believe it is.

@Inliytened1 True, but I still don't see the point. It really felt a truth was being conveyed. You are saying it was all some illusion not truth. The video game analogy is often used. I'm not sure that is the best analogy. God has infinite resources and doesn't need to conserve them in the way video game designers do. It's not that I want reality to be a certain way. I have always been interested in the truth. Some of my experiences I feel were giving me insights into truth. like my OBE's. So to say that was all a constructed illusion that wasn't revealing any truth doesn't feel right to me. It would be like someone telling Leo all his insights from psychedelics were not revealing any real truth, it was just an elaborate illusion he constructed.

@Inliytened1 Because being shown other minds are aware and having a conscious experience the same as me implies I am not the only conscious being that exists.

@Inliytened1 Of course I could create this experience. What would be the point though? It felt to me during these experiences a higher truth was being conveyed to me. If it's all done as some elaborate illusion, that doesn't feel right to me.

@Inliytened1 I am trying to wrap my mind mind around this, but it's challenging. During three of my OBE's I was shown how all my actions affect others and how they ripple out. Positive and negative. If others are not having a conscious experience of life similar to my own, if they are only projections of my mind, I don't understand why my higher mind would create this experience for me. If there wasn't some truth to be conveyed there, what was the point?

This leads to paradoxes my human mind cannot understand. How can we each reach the insight of being the only conscious being constructing all others? For example, you feel you are a conscious being having an experience of life, but according to your perspective the post you wrote that I am reading would have to be a creation of my mind.

@Breakingthewall What is your perspective on God exploring simultaneous experiences at the same time. Leo says that when God is being me, that is all it is exploring. God isn't exploring simultaneous experiences. This seems highly unlikely and very inefficient. Why would something that is infinite limit itself to only my single experience? Have you received any insights on this during your awakenings?

@Razard86 That is a big topic. I've had so many I could fill a book describing them. Initially they were brief and I would stay around my house. Over time I was able to explore further and go to other worlds. At the time they began I had a lot of questions about life after death. I became sort of an afterlife journalist. When I would come across people if they were interested I would interview them. Asking if they had a life on earth, what their passing was like, where they found themselves and what their life is like now. I found it endlessly fascinating. Based on my experience most people after what we call death find themselves in a world almost identical to the one they left. I once met someone I had known who had passed and they were not even aware they had died. I didn't want to upset them, so after I realized this I didn't say anything. If people had any idea how vast the universe is with endless worlds to explore they wouldn't cling so hard to this life. One very interesting fun experience I had a few times was with animals. Wild animals have no fear of people so they will come right up to you. Birds will land on you. It's a little startling because we are not use to it. But it's really beautiful to be able to connect with them in a way we are not able to here.

How does knowing this help us in our day to day life?

@VeganAwake Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I would describe it differently. What I am calling self is the awareness that is experiencing. This awareness can be limited and finite or everything and gradations in between. But it can never be extinguished. Although it's not incorrect to call this awareness nothing, that isn't entirely correct. It's nothing that is something.

Not an NDE. Many years back I was spending most of my time pursuing awakening, traveling the world sitting with awakened teachers, receiving shaktipat, and other energy work. I was also doing very disciplined spiritual practices daily. At some point during all of this I began having spontaneous out of body experiences. At first it was frightening and I thought maybe I had died. As they continued to happen I was able to travel farther and get answers to many of the questions I had about consciousness, life and reality.

@Breakingthewall Do you mind sharing how you came to this insight? Some would say you are always the totality of existence even when you are imagining being limited. You are God imagining you are limited and finite. I think this is Leo's perspective as well. Leo, correct me if I am wrong.
