Consciousness is a universal mind. A mind produces thought. An unlimited mind's thoughts are literally creation itself. God can think of the planet earth, and there is the planet earth. To help you understand thar your current ability to think is the same as reality try this experiment. Go to a faucet turn on the water and put your hand in it. Focus on the feeling of the water on your hand. Keep doing it and really focus on that feeling. Turn the faucet off, remove your hand and through memory recreate the feeling of the water hitting your hand. With sufficient imagination you can recreate the sensation of water with memory. This will prove to you that everything you have ever experienced in life was just thoughts.

I agree, I have found that people who don't suffer anxious thoughts a lot for example minimalists for example might not need you to teach them a meditative practice. But I will admit, even though I never really suffered before spirituality, I wasn't as peaceful to the same extent I am now. I was a lot more competitive and conflict oriented so I'll admit meditation 🧘‍♀️ does have a strong impact on calming the mind.

Your vessel has those limitations because you tell it that. Close your eyes, imagine a bird flying. Now observe that imaginary bird. Feel into it. Do it until you realize that bird is just a sensation. Next touch your hand, realize that too is a sensation. Notice the bird you imagined was a form. It had shape, it had color and it had the feeling of a sensation. Now ask yourself...what is the difference between your imaginary thought just now and your hand. Keep doing this till you realize there is no difference between a thought, an image in your mind, and an image in what you call reality. If you do this long enough eventually you discover all is mind. And everything is imaginary which is the same as saying everything is thought. Thoughts are the most powerful force in existence because all creation is thought.

Real and imaginary are the same thing. Your power as God makes imaginary real. If I cut off your hands with a chain saw that will feel very real and if I steal all your belongings that will feel real. Real and imaginary are identical. If they were not, you couldn't tell a difference between your day dreams and regular reality. Don't get too hung up on it being imaginary, we call it reality for a reason.

There is no limit of thought, all of existence is a thought. That's it. It's imagination. What is imagination, it's a thought. All of experience is just thoughts in the universal mind. Also I don't play Non dual games. You are full of assumptions. I point to truth, that is all. Many of you are full of dogmatic assumptions, rigid minds, and as a result you limit your ability to experience reality. Your daily experience can be a sober trip if your mind is open enough. The only thing that limits perceptions ability to express itself is dogmatic assumptions.

Oh well then you got it. If you can feel everything inside you moving through you then you got it. Now...next up Cartoon Consciousness! Can you become aware that drawings are alive? That one really takes an open mind.

We are talking about absolute solipsism which says you are every ego and thus alone. You can reach a state where you can experience another person's body as your body. You can feel their pain, hear their thoughts, even see through their eyes, but you would have to reach a very high state to pull it off. Many people who have had NDE's report being able to do this during an NDE.

You are correct that it's a transitory fade out, but we can still call it deep sleep. For example before your first memory of your human life...was deep sleep.

You can definitely deny your human self out of existence. But it is still part of the scenary. But if you want to experience reality like those Neo Advaita do you can certainly do that.

Another analogy is think of yourself as an alive scenery that is always alive.

Yes it's all an appearance for itself. So here is the trippy part. Everything is alive and dead at the same time. And your entire identity is the totality of your experience. Nothing else exists outside of what you acknowledge as existing. So cartoon characters are just alive as the humans that draw them. When you draw a stick figure you are literally creating life. That one insight will blow your mind.

If there was no experience there wouldn't be something. Imagination is a something. It's an amorphous shapeshifter.

It will collapse into more static empires.....because the map is both the territory and not the territory at the same time. Ask yourself this....how the hell you know language at all? All knowledge is intuitive. Intuition, knowledge, and being are the same. Any attempts to separate them WITHOUT knowing how they are united...is delusion. Many of you have fallen into the trap of demonizing language not realizing that your human brain was designed to retain and capture intuition through models/maps. The reason many of you cannot remember your trips, is because your map making is not sufficient to translate the information. Is their something lost in translation? Sure. I cannot give you the experience of water in words, and if you have never experienced a liquid of any kind words would have no meaning to you because you need a frame of reference to have meaning. But maps can also be guides for those who tread the path later to verify. So if I explain what liquid is to a person who never experienced it, when they finally experience it they can reference what they were told and can now make sense of it. This is why schools and education exists. Humans learn and transmit that knowledge to future generations that have not yet had those experiences. Always remember....there are no humans, humans are just God as a bipedal creature. There is only God here. Education is not a mistake, words are not a mistake, these are creations of a divine infinite intelligence.

It needs a frame of reference to experience it self as being a particular way. But it doesn't need a frame of reference to know itself because a reference is an appearance. What's happening right now...is all appearance and you reference the appearance to respond. If existence doesn't appear....how can it know itself. It can know itself as being sure....but being WHAT? The only reason you are the specific person you are, is because you want to know yourself a particular way and a particular way is a ground. Does it need a ground? To experience a perspective and to KNOW that particular way. Now it could just be infinite and know itself as Infinity.....but that is no longer knowledge of a particularity, its knowledge of everything and knowledge of everything is too freaking big to do anything with. Basically....God is so big...God has nothing to do because it is everything and knows everything. It can't gain, it can't lose, it can't achieve, it cannot even share its love. God can't share....do you know how sad that is? So....God creates creatures....so it can finally have something to do, and it can finally share something.

What part is confusing you. I'm not saying it needs a ground...I'm saying it creates a ground. If it didn't create a ground, it would have no frame of reference. If there was no frame of reference, you couldn't be typing right now. Spirituality is just an investigation of the opposite of duality. It is why it is called Non-Duality. There is a duality, but the duality is constructed. It is constructed through trickery. It's like telling someone there is no magic, when the magician does the magic trick. There is magic, the magic....is the TRICK. Undo the trick....and the magic/illusion is gone. That's all. I'm explaining how the past, the future and the present are the same. Reality is a CONSTANT generation Your visual field is not a stable field, it appears stable. It is a constant STABLE flow, so stable, it looks still. But it is a generation. It's constant. If it wasn't a generation there could be no progression and you couldn't create time at all. Look at this flip book It is a bunch of still images, that are being replaced. As each frame/page is replaced it shows something different. Speed it up and it appears as motion. Reality is an infinite replacing frame. This is why it is pure magic. It is disappearing and reappearing at infinite speeds. Like an infinite flip book.

The Spiritual Path is highly paradoxical in nature and growth can from certain perspectives be seen as a regression. What determines which is more true? The barometer is always the same, SELF-LOVE. Whichever is more SELF-LOVING, which means whatever is less biased, which is the same as whichever creates the most separation, which ever creates more aggrandizement or debasement, is the opposite of PURE LOVE. Pure Love is unconditional, PURE LOVE is the only objectivity, because it has housed within it all subjectivity possible which means it is the only perspective....that can see an object for what it is because it can see all permutations (expressions) possible. Now...with that introduction out of the way.... take a look at this video transcript and the responses in the comment section. https://www.actualized.org/articles/what-is-karma Analyze the core message of these two paradoxical views. Look at the time stamp....this signifies growth and maturity. The 2nd video was released years later. Notice how the focus has changed. Now the point of this exercise is not to criticize....even though I can visualize Older Leo calling younger Leo a "Buddhist Rat" and bragging that he has wrested himself from the bullshit of humanity and has now attained a much more pure perspective. With that said....you can use this as a tool to look at yourself. Have you changed? How has your spiritual path might have made you a different expression as opposed to how you were a couple years ago? The second video does seem more on integration/day to day, where the first video is more inquisitive. But notice in the comment section of the first video....the day to day is visited as well in discussions. So this is definitely unique. Me personally, I never agreed with the 2nd video completely, but it does have nuggets of truth. You have no idea how much your environment influences you. The music you listen to, the people you associate with especially have strong influence over you, the people you look up to as well. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm saying they can prevent you from expressing yourself fully the way you want to be expressed. But I'd caution cutting off socializing entirely as being appropriate for most people. The most important function that socializing plays is two parts. It exposes weaknesses/limitations in your perspective, and it exposes lack of fluidity/open-mindedness, close-mindedness, rigidity, selfishness within you. Basically socialization is a GREAT MIRROR. I'm going to make a thread later on how important environment is on your self-expression and how maybe even MOVING from your state or country might be a possible solution if you cannot create an internal change within yourself in your environment. Anyway, what is your opinion on these two video? Do you think they can coincide or do you think they are too oppositional? I personally believe avoiding the extremes is more reasonable.

I'll give a couple of analogies to help. 1. People like to create a duality of a puppet and a puppeteer. So I will give an example. Close your eyes. Imagine a human holding a puppet. Now that puppet is moving and talking because the human is controlling it....now erase that human entirely....what is left? A puppet moving without a puppeteer, talking moving dancing, singing. THIS is why your true self cannot be located because the puppeteer is invisible. It cannot be located. 2. Now let's explain what the past is so you can stop getting lost. The past is a repeat pattern. All of reality is just a flow of mental information. As you said that is always happening presently. Right now it is presenting it to you in sequential order by having repeat patterns. I'll explain. When you write the words down you just wrote....they don't disappear. That is because the moment you write them down...they keep repeating their existence. They don't disappear. And then you also have the ability to repeat the visual imagery in your mind of you writing them down which is just repeating the same mental information again. Notice all of these repeat patterns happen in the present moment. So there IS A PAST, it is just a repeat done in the PRESENT MOMENT. Now the reason we say there is no time, is because God is like a BOOK. If you write a book, in that book there is a story with a world. In that world there is time and space and events. When you close that book, and open a different book that time and space and events of the previous book are gone. This is why they say there is no time. They are wrong. There is time, it's just bound to the specific world that it is in. And once that world is done, you can create a new time and events. God could end this entire existence, and create an entirely different universe with a NEW set of rules. So God is not bound to time or space. This also means all universal laws are arbitrary and are NOT immutable because God can just change them if it wanted. Also the future...is just a prediction of what is going to come next. I will show you how you know the future. Move your hand from left to right and up and down. Now, try to see if you can trick yourself into NOT KNOWING where you will move your hand next. You will discover, you can't trick yourself. So you know the future movement of your hand 99.9% of the time. (You could have a stroke, or obtain some neurological disorder that removes this knowledge). So there you have it. The future is just a prediction of the current pattern of the flow of mental information done in the present, and the past is just repeating a pattern in the present moment. We are lucky reality isn't just erasing everything as it happens....because if it did, there would be no past at all. So reality has to do this to create a ground.

You are so deluded, I'm glad humans don't get God's power because if you did you would actually judge your creation. It's such a good thing God is good and not actually anything like you silly Christians believe.

Lol I think you are getting the relative confused with the Absolute. It's illusionary from the Absolute. But relatively from the relation of the dream its not illusionary. Like how a movie is fake, but for us to discuss the movie we have to discuss it like it's real to understand and gain depth about that world.

You really "Love to face palm." All that infinite looping of face palming. And you can't even stop doing it.

What country do you live in?

If God didn't need instructions, school would exist and neither would parents. God needs instructions because God dumbed itself down into human intelligence. Then it gets confused and looks around for advice.

I'm not giving the ego....the ego is just a belief, a thought. That's the trick. The instructions are for God. Because there isn't an ego. This transcript goes very well with this post also. https://www.actualized.org/articles/what-is-karma

I'm saying there never was a boundary ever. Boundaries are just constructs of a mind. A true boundary is a separation. For example...if a wall was truly a boundary....you couldn't experience it. But if you construct a relationship between a wall and something behind the wall, then you create a boundary. But how can the wall actually be a boundary? Only in a relationship you construct. This is what construct awareness is about. You experience life based on how you construct mental relationships. So yes, a wall is a boundary, in a specific relationship, but the existence of a wall is not a boundary. You can see it, you can touch it, you can taste it, you can smell it. So this is what I am referring to. Boundaries don't actually exist, only in mentally constructed relationships.

It's not about opinion. There are no boundaries. If there were, nothing can actually happen. You have never encountered a boundary in your life. There isn't even a physical world. That's what is being communicated. Everything you ever experience is just imagination.
