  1. I know it's a difficult task but can you try desribing some of such very very subtle remnants?
  2. Haha, I am more or less familiar with all the links provided (I am consuming Roger like crazy past two days) and still I am not sure if that comprehension non-experience is the 8th jhana or not. Jhanas don't resonate at this stage. I will carefully read your post on mahamudra, thanks. My practice lately was just trying to maintain do nothing/letting go of contractions for the whole day.
  3. Holy shit man. This is Golden. I just read that in meditative state and it clicked. You beautifullly filled out the spots left by Roger and Massaro. Non-experiencial comprehension of infinity. Could you help me understand how that comprehension relates to 7, 8th and 9th Jhana?
  4. Each name brings with it some insights, archetypes. I could say why call it reality if it's empty/imagined/holographic and infinitely inteligent (therefore good). "God" brings something profound to the party. "Dream" brings something cool too. Ultimately it's of course neither and all at the same time.
  5. I saw you posting rammstein. I think you will love it, especially the lyrics:
  6. From my current understanding this is exactly what Leo is saying. When Leo speaks about being God there is no center, no direction of attention, God is distributed imagination-stuff. Soup of blended existence. And Leo also points to "no choice" - he said that when you merge with this Infinity it's almost like you have no choice because you will be bound to do the most perfectly inteligent thing to imagine. He pointed to the same thing in Free will vs No free will video. The most important thing is that the sense of localized self must be gone.
  7. Consciousness. You can train yourself to realize that it does not fully shut off even in deep sleep. Because This is a dream. You just don't want to realize that upper case YOU ARE ETERNAL.
  8. I fully agree and that's what I meant. I meant One thing happening. Like a smeared acrros everything wibbly wobbly POV. Not a location POV. Like in a VR game you have first person POV and then you become a witness kinda like 3rd person view and then you dissolve it and now the camera can go anywhere and kinda at once. But probably pov is a misleading word for that.
  9. For me at my current stage (which may change) "others" are some archetypes of reality dressed up/orchestrated as a sets/bundles of sensations. Just like lower case self. For me it seems there is only This reality unfolding. Only One. Not many POVs, just THIS.
  10. At night, when one dream ends and next begins - what remains? Once the first dream ends, all dreamed up matter with its essential elements are gone, and in the next dream they are dreamed up anew. What remains is Consciousness/Dreamer.
  11. I didn't say you can't. I am just expressing my opinion that it's cringe to use it that often. I believe you that you think that. However again, it is my personal opinion that you are with "your indian guru friends" "your guru" "you spiritualist" and so on - so I just express my opinion I don't assume that. again I am just expressing my opinion about your communication. If you can't accept that then it's you who thinks that the world must conform to your personal tastes.
  12. Agreed. You are not wrong. I just don't like your disrespectful tone with sentences like "your indian guru friends". Agreed and I could say the same to you. Yup. There's something sincere in that. I'm sure it will end in bromance eventually
  13. Typical for non-spiritualists. Nothing. It's just cringe to see cringe everywhere. You are negative and feeling superior. You have the right to your opinions and negativity yes, and in the same way I have the right to not like you and point out your hypocrisy. Everything is okay.
  14. I see that you are a fan of generalizing, feeling superior and of the word "cringe". That's a wholesome package.
  15. @Breakingthewall @Water by the River Guys, I would appreciate your perspective on the following video. Dropping the idea of long life and gaining security was something that saved me many years of spiritual practice. I still took care of financials and all but that is important concept to uninstall, and you still can behave inteligently.
  16. Yes, like a patient loving parent. Knowing when to push, when to wait, when it is time to rest.
  17. This voice that is calling you is the most important voice in the Universe. Cherish it. Listen to it. Thats the fire that will free you. But be strategic. Devote yourself to that voice but in a smart way. Don't neglect the daily logistics. I believe in you.
  18. When we perceive the world from the ego lense then the ego is a subject and the world is an object. When we transcend the ego depending on the technique, words, tradition, our conditioning we are either left with the feeling of 1. I am Consciousness, and Everything is Consciousness, so I am Everything - everything becomes a subject and there are no objects left. 2. There is no Self, there is only reality happening. So everything becomes an object and subject disappears. So the whole discussion really just comes down to acknowledging both sides and dropping them both and being left in pure _____.
  19. I think I get what you mean. Just like nightly dream is suspended in Mind/No-dream-space.
  20. There is no deep sleep. You just think there is. But in direct experience we just time jump. Deep sleep is "non-esisting", and obviously non-esistence is also non-existing. So there's none. And even if there would be some kind of non-existence it would just be experienced as a time jump because it is not existing.
  21. I could say my body liberates me from the prison of infinity. Or that body gives me the freedom to explore Consciousness. Prison/Freedom is just a duality. Neither and both.
  22. Exactly. Is Eternal Beingness that can not stop existing worth it? The question doesn't make sense.
