Ok 👍🏻

I don’t feel like watching a 20 min video sorry hehe. but you mean our senses perceive wrong?

How do you know the senses aren’t giving accurate description? Physical suffering isn’t self created, mental might be sometimes. Maybe there’s no self but I can’t see that

It was just me who didn’t understand what you meant

I just didn’t understand what you meant. Do you mean that we can’t know if others reality are similar to ours? I think about it sometimes that’s why I asked

No problem

I’ve had what I believe is telepathy. Have yet to understand how it works though. I’m guessing it’s related to your topic

What is the main point?

43: I wonder if enlightened people, and here I mean for example people like the non dualists, Jim Newman etc. I don’t know if I’d place them in the same category as someone like Ramana Maharshi. What I’m wondering though is if they maintain some form of ego structure at all. The human ego structure is so fundamental. The reason you feel like I’m over here and the world is out there, that the world is 3D deep is due to that ego structure. If it would begin to dissolve to great degrees, the world would appear less deep and more “flat” and “closer”. I’ve experienced this myself. It’s not a pleasant experience. Life is so dead when it’s like that. When you read the news and you really feel like there’s a world out there with events happening, that is thanks to your human ego structure. If it would dissolve to great degrees reading text would almost be like just letters on a screen. You’d almost loose that sense of context to this happening. The reason you interact with others and feel like you’re really interacting with another human being and you’re able to have relationships with them, is thanks to that human ego structure. Once again, if it would dissolve to severe degrees others would appear more flat and lifeless. The less sense of self, the less sense of other. I think the non dualists like Jim Newman have zero ego at all, because they do speak of that lack of sense of space , time , other and context. I’m guessing that would be full ego dissolution. I don’t know if there is anyone enlightened in this forum, because anywhere I read I sense ego structures. I wish I had a normal ego structure myself, because for me it dissolved to great degrees and nowadays I barely feel I exist. It’s not a pleasant existence. Either there is a normal sense of self or there is none, I don’t want this half assed shit.

42: I’m thinking of trying to bake healthy alternatives to desserts to see if it even tastes good. I see these recipes all the time, people using honey and maple syrup to sweeten etc. I wanna see if it can be just as tasty as normal desserts. I don’t think it will be equal, but if it’s still tasty I might do it more often as an alternative. Some say table sugar isn’t even unhealthy, that it depends on what you eat it with. Maybe normal homemade dessert aren’t that unhealthy even. I would have to research it to find out.

It’s more than logic. It’s intuitive too. It’s resonance. I think it’s clear that they are speaking from a place of truth. Depends on who you listen to maybe, for example I like Jim Newman.

Have you listened to non dualists on YouTube? I think it’s clear they are speaking from a place of what I would call enlightenment. There is just something so straightforward, clear and out of the ordinary in the way they speak. I wish I could see that for myself.

Are you enlightened? this might sound crazy but I don’t think I have any attachments. I’ve broken them down before. I’ll see if I implement some meditation. I want some powerful technique and I’m guessing meditation is one of the most powerful. But can’t you use a technique without getting attached to it?

Okay I see.

Plugging didn’t do anything for me either

I would say yes

I see what you’re saying. I just used Leo as example because he really strived hard, harder than me for enlightenment

I haven’t tried them specifically but I can imagine.

cool let me know how it goes

sounds good lol sounds like a lovely experience

So random lol. Is it tasty? What does one do with it?

I would imagine there would be less thoughts in an enlightened “state” or if one becomes it

Never heard that before. I wouldn’t agree. Gingerbread is so good tho I’ll see if I’ll make it this year

Lmao you can only write such here in this thread it’s a bit like our secretive corner😂

I swear
