@MarkusSweden "It is sufficient to understand without the slightest doubt and with great conviction that there is a state prior to the arising of consciousness. Nisargadatta

@Ether What does it for me is realizing what I really am is the universe experiencing itself. Not separate from it but as part of an undivided whole. Look at everything around you. Look at the stars in the night sky. That is you!

@Leo Gura Funny you should say this. Yesterday as the dog was taking her morning poop I was thinking "This too is infinity. Beautiful morning sunrises or the dog taking a shit. It's all infinity". Than I contemplated that and saw that infinity knows no such distinctions as between a beautiful sunrise or a dog taking a poop on the lawn. It's all just infinity.

@Reflection I agree. I could also say the old growth supports new growth. Of the one tree.

@Reflection It's just a simple picture of what I see as infinity with all it's outgrowths. If you want to label them each than sure, that's fine. That is reality. As Leo said, reality has infinite resolution.

@Reflection I'm waaaay past these labels and distinctions. I see where you are coming from now.

@Reflection Physics is a part of infinity just as a finger is the infinite hand. Every possibility is an individual outgrowth of infinity. But infinity is always infinity, hand, fingers and all. Just as the picture shows. Yes I do. Why is it the same? Because it's all infinity!!!! Maybe I'm just looking at this differently than you. Physics does not apply to infinity so this is precisely why the hand (infinity) does not change. BTW, if you look really closely you'll see that the forth finger on the thirty-seventh little hand from the left has a stunted growth. That's physics! Just joking there!

@Leo Gura

@MarkusSweden This has nothing to do with Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment or Spirituality.

@Crystalous The emptiness from which chaos (experience) appears.

@TheEnlightenedWon I've done that before. It's infinite. Is that illusion too?

@MarkusSweden Gotta shut this down. We saw all this before. No room for than, no room for it now.

@Leo Gura You jest but maybe that's a secret passageway to the infinite first discovered by gurus sitting in caves getting bugs up their nose. What could be a more ironic discovery than that? Licking a frog?

@Leo Gura What is this @16:00 ?

@JustinS Love it!!!! That is the true absolute. The Para-brahman. Prior to consciousness. So very few are willing to hear this. They will surrender what they consider everything (body and mind) for the sake of the ultimate "enlightenment experience". But will they truly surrender everything by allowing consciousness to be absorbed completely by the absolute as so nothing at all remains, not even the experience? No, they want to stick around and have an experience. Which is going to be infinite. No surprise there. It truly never ends. As Peter Ralston said. "you can go on making distinctions forever" (infinity). That is the very nature of consciousness. Duality. To see this is the final liberation that extinguishes every last vestige of desire for conscious experience on any level. Within the absolute there are no souvenirs of experience to bring back of any kind. If you experienced it, it's not the absolute but a projection or distinction no different than all else that arises within conscious experience. To quote Nisargadatta: "consciousness appears on the absolute as if on a screen". That would suggest everything that appears within consciousness is illusion. Bar none. The truth is there is no truth within conscious experience on any level. And the absolute cannot be tainted by conscious experience. Nisargadatta: "The absolute has no awareness of itself". I remember Leo saying a couple of years ago "All experiences are just an experience". I still stick closely by those words. Not because anyone said them but because they ring absolutely true.

@MrHeff Please read the forum guidelines. What is NOT allowed. Asking how to source drugs, psychedelic or otherwise

@lmfao But what if you realized it's all consciousness no matter what the circumstance or perspective?

@Ether Haha who me awakened? No, I improvised on this scene from the movie Dune. He may have taken a break from "consciousness work" after this.

The seeker has awakened.

@aurum

@solr O.K. Sorry So you made a mistake and you owned up to it. Your being totally honest with the person. That's all you can do on that level. Now you have to find compassion to forgive yourself for your human condition that made the mistake in the first place. Take it as a life lesson and your a better person for it. But yea, we are always hardest on ourselves when mistakes are made. It's often much easier to forgive others than ourselves. Your not alone on that one!

@solr Am I reading this right? You can't bring yourself to be totally honest with the person you did something wrong to so instead you want a method to erase your own regrets about doing it? Sorry if I misunderstood something here but if that's the case I think you owe it to them (and yourself) to be totally truthful. Otherwise you will always know the truth (and your best friend) but the person you did wrong to won't know.

@WildeChilde Buddha nature exists in everything as all possibilities.

@Faceless You should like this one. The "Spanda" is the supreme infinite pulsation of the universe. Reality is one big throbbing cosmic orgasm!
