If I was never raised in the Christian Church (My Denomination was Seventh Day Adventist one of the most strictest denominations of the Christian Church) I would have never awakened. From my youth the story of Jesus touched me on a deep level and made me want to emulate him. I unlike most Christians took the story of Jesus seriously and his belief that we could be like him seriously as well. I also took the story of Solomon seriously as well. In the Bible when God asked Solomon what he wanted he prayed to God for wisdom, at the age of 16 I got on my knees and prayed to God for wisdom. I realize that God gave me exactly what I wanted. This is why life is absolutely fair, because you will be given exactly what you want, your true heart's desire. The issue is most people do not know what they really want and are running in circles. When I went through my trials and tribulations growing up, the story of Jesus and the other characters in the Bible were a symbol of how I could respond. The deep wisdom found in the Bible was illuminated and given to me. At the age of 16 I spent an entire year and read the Bible cover to cover and at the age of 20 I placed the Bible down never to own a Bible again. Why? Because I got the message. Study to show thyself approved, approved by what? Yourself. The message is just Self-Love. From the finite to the Infinite. Without the power of religion I could have never awakened, with that said I'm not saying religion is the only path for the youth to discover love. We have many great movies and t.v. shows and leaders both past and present who can teach the beauty of love. But for my path, my journey, religion was a core piece that was needed. It gave me strength, it empowered me both through its stories, but also the people I met in the Congregation as well. It gave me structure, and a model, a lens at which to look at life. Without that foundation I could have never awoken, without the devotion that religion instills in you the path of surrendering to love would be difficult. Religion is a perfect form of training wheels for the young, its a great form of laying the foundation needed to experience and understand love. The only problem? Many of the preachers....do not understand what Love is really at the deepest depths so they cannot speak it. But this is okay, because everything is always as it should be. All of life is always moving to greater and greater expressions and acceptance of what it is, and this too is why religion is so beautiful. People are dropping religion more and more because religion needs to rid itself of its judgments and understand what the story of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was really saying. Because the story literally tells you that everything God created was good and you only see evil through your human knowledge. Why did they call it fruit? Because the purpose of your knowledge is to digest it.....when your body digests food it takes what is needed and discards what is not needed. So the story is just telling you, take your knowledge and use it to survive, but expel any notions that anything is evil. There is no evil but anything that threatens your self-interest, and self-interest is just BUSINESS. When you create a world based on BUSINESS then you create a world based on self-interest and as a result that world becomes a competition for who can be the best at getting their own interests served, which is a competition for who can be the most selfish. As such....you make selfishness good, and selflessness evil. Thus you never digested the fruit, you never took a dump. What happens to people who cannot expel their feces? They get sepsis. So the world is septic because they never understood the point of survival, they never understood why eating the fruit caused the fall of man...it caused the fall of man because you never took a shit!!! LOL. Anyway religion is a fun way to use symbolism, epics, tales, to teach lessons. Like Aesop's Fables is a good story to teach lessons. I love religion even though I am not religious, because religion helped me awaken. With that said...I find it funny how Atheism and Religion are both right about God in their own way are secretly in agreement and also could both learn from each other. Because of the corruption in Religion, Atheism is borne. It is interesting how corruption always gives birth to a movement against it, it always divides and creates something new. I wonder how Atheism is going to birth a new Religion? How will religions change world wide...and what new religions are going to emerge from this conflict?

Solipsism is bittersweet. It's funny the first time I awakened to it I had no problem with it...then after awhile the backlash came...and I understood what Leo meant and why its bittersweet. For me the sweetness came first and the bitter came afterward. After realizing Solipsism...you understand that God is the amazing thing ever, it is absolute self-love but it has no other to share itself with...so it creates other to share itself. I can deconstruct and reconstruct Other at will...that is why they call it death...you destroy other...but you can now consciously delude yourself into other. I'll say words on a screen can delude me easier than a person in front of me can. That's just my bias though...I could deconstruct this bias if I wanted too... This is why Leo stated that Enlightenment is imaginary. Why is it? Because Enlightenment, Non Dual Baseline will still be experienced differently by every Enlightened Human. People who argue with him don't get what he is saying....because even though Solipsism is Non-Dual...it isn't the only kind of Non-Dual. For example...you could be aware there is no other....but also be aware that there is no death as well so much that all your dead relatives you experience them as still here. Now have I experienced this? No...but there are people who do experience that. I also know that if I desire to experience that.....I can just WILL IT. How do I know this? Because its the same with Solipsism...I willed it into my baseline experience.

He got the message!! It's Infinite Love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brdZk-bYXX0&ab_channel=TheChameleonCouple

Real, Illusion, are subjective concepts...so first I would have to understand what Real means to you. From a certain perspective you can say Reality is Unreal, or an illusion, from another perspective you can say Reality is Absolutely Real!! So it depends on what perspective we are talking from. Your experience of Reality or Life if you want to use that word is based on what state of consciousness you are in. From a certain state of consciousness what you call your life is realized to be PURE IMAGINATION, No different than your night time dreams. But from a certain state of consciousness life to you is REAL....because you are not in state to perceive or experience it any different way. So for a person who is in a human state of consciousness and has not had a near death experience, mystical experience, psychedelic experience, for them the ego is real and life is real and it is completely understandable why they feel this way. The only way you can ever convince a human in state of consciousness that reality is a dream, and illusion is if they are open to that type of experience and willing to drop all prior knowledge to investigate this. Outside of that willingness they are not going to ever receive it outside of physical death. To understand what the absolute is...close your eyes....notice you can feel sensations....and you are aware of these sensations. Understand that the feeling of the sensations and being aware of the sensations are one and the same. Investigate this until you can discover what I mean by that. Once you discover that...then you discover that everything is just sensations being aware of themselves. Now understand...these sensations disappear and reappear. Where are they disappearing into?...NOTHING.....come to realize that these sensations...are also NOTHING....how do we know this? Because they are constantly appearing out of nothing and returning to nothing....if they are the same thing which is a sensation that is aware of itself then this awareness must be nothing.... So one part of you is nothing....that never changes and the other part of you is nothing that appears as something. But the something is ALWAYS CHANGING. Like a person who always changes his story...you would call them a liar because they are not consistent. Well appearance is not consistent....it keeps on changing. So THIS is why they call it an illusion because it is not consistent. You as a human identity are always changing....so how can you be true...when you keep on changing? So this is why they call it maya or an illusion or unreal or a lie, because it is inconsistent. But notice this.....without change there can be no progression no journey, and change is death. So notice if the truth is what is....and change is the disappearance of what is...then to understand what truth is you must include what isn't. Once you expand your definition to include what isn't as equal to what is...then you learn the truth that even a lie is the truth. Once you understand this then you learn there is no difference between a lie and the truth, than illusion and real. But you can only truly realize this when you can understand that everything is a dream, an appearance, pure imagination. Until you can see Sonic the Hedgehog as equally real as you and not as a concept, you must experience that Sonic is just as real as your human body. Until you experience this, you are stuck behind a mental conceptual prison, that divides reality into what you conceptually believe is true and not true and project that onto reality thus corrupting your sensual experience of reality. We call this the material, physical, state of consciousness of the average human. TL:DR There is no difference between a lie and the truth, than illusion, and real but you must experience this not conceptually believe this.

I'm glad you are honest enough to see it. Have you seen the tales people on this forum try to spin to avoid this? I don't even care if they realize it or not, I just want people to admit when the truth is the truth. The truth is there is no separation and everything points to this...even science points to it and they hate it and keep trying to avoid it. The key to understanding yourself is just to admit what is. If I am a raging alcoholic, admit it. If I am scared of cats admit it. If I have a burning sensation when I urinate admit it. If I am afraid of the dark admit it. The problem is people's minds are so corrupted with a lack of self honesty they are lost in a web a maze of lies and are confused.

Everything in life is an illusion this is what every deep metaphysical teaching says its called MAYA which means illusion. Even science is finding out that it is an illusion. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-universe-is-not-locally-real-and-the-physics-nobel-prize-winners-proved-it/ There is research going into the ability to reduce physical pain through meditation as well. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4941786/ The important thing about these topics is the power of your mind and how you cannot seperate your mind and reality because reality IS MIND. The same mind that allows you to dream and imagine things is not a human mind....it is the mind of God, REALITY ITSELF. And you can doubt all you want. But doubting something without actually investigating it is ARROGANCE because you are coming to a conclusion without investigating. To come to a conclusion before investigation is to PREJUDGE. Want to know where human prejudice comes from? You are currently doing it. See how human nature works?

Open your eyes, He said: At the end of his post. "Truth is way more serious than people are ready to handle, so usually its best to keep it to yourself. When someone comes crying to you about their misery, you give them comfort, not Truth. An important lesson in your spiritual journey will be learning to meet people where they’re at, not where you’re at. I’ve made this mistake many times." And you said "From society's perspective, telling someone who is suffering that their suffering is an illusion, is a mean thing to say. Try going to a funeral and telling people that the deceased person who they're cremating 'never existed to begin with' and watch how they react. " ^^^ITS THE SAME GOT DAMN THING!!!! This is why I said...MANY OF YOU need to learn reading comprehension. Your mind is so biased you select out what you WANT to see and ignore what is there. You said try saying at a funeral and he said don't do it!!! So both you and him ARE IN AGREEMENT!!!! Stop creating fights that aren't there!!! You probably do this in your personal life all the time. Half listen to people and accuse them of saying things they don't say!! This is why I said..when you are not honest you corrupt your mind and corrupt those around you.

^^^I'm glad you have the wisdom to understand what this post is saying. It's sad there aren't as many open-minded people as you. Yes religion has flaws, but humanity created religion for a reason because it served a purpose. I can speak for myself when I say religion gave me a great foundation and introduction into the nature of love and truth. I like to call religion training wheels.

If you close your eyes....you will notice that you are all that is. In one sense it is vision that blinds you into creating distinctions. If you close your eyes and drop all labels...everything is just ONE big experience. An experience that is happening and is aware it is happening. How is this possible? Because it is awareness itself. You said how is this possible? Because awareness is aware and to be aware...is to feel itself. So you don't hear sound...you are sound aware of itself. All appearances are aware of itself as what it is. Awareness imagines itself as water and then is aware of what water is as water. Awareness imagines fire and is aware of itself as fire. This is all that happens for all eternity. And its all ONE because there is only awareness imagining itself as something. So with this understanding...how is there an OTHER? There isn't, there never was and never will be. You wiggle to the left and wiggle to the right but you cannot escape all that is, because you are all that is no matter how many appearances you take form as. That is why you are ONE, ONE appearing as infinite temporary forms, and that is why you are ALL ALONE as the infinite shape shifting appearing and disappearing form/formless awareness.

Love

I don't believe in coincidences but if you do this is still funny to me. If you need to help someone survive from a potential Heart Attack...this is what you can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A0nAKWTewI&ab_channel=UNCHealthJohnston Who ever said music can't be life saving?

Many of you on this forum...suffer from a lack of reading comprehension, you argue against points never made. Why even comment on something you don't even take the time to understand? My gosh...

Your making the same point he made. My gosh what do you hope to achieve by telling him the same thing...that he just did? Sigh....

LOL it definitely is cool to realize you are the strongest drug.

Technology is not the ultimate determined knowledge. In fact current technology functions without full knowledge of why it functions. For example wireless technology runs on superposition. Scientists (especially the Atheists) do not understand why superposition exists, (religion knows why) but there technology runs on the principle of superposition even though they can't explain it. I can explain it. Superposition is translogical, translogical is proof of God, proof of Infinity, proof that reality is not bound by time or space.

One is not a limit, One is totality. If you are everything...then that totality can only be one. But how it gets around that limit...is it can be an infinite One. So yeah its One but it is One that can appear to be many. But it is just an appearance of many...that are One. Until you realize that why it has to be One then you will never know what Love is. Many of your minds are so convoluted and lost in confusion that you just keep confusing yourself even more @Breakingthewall is an example. But I'm not surprised he doesn't think its one, he doubts love and calls it a concept. If it wasn't one there couldn't be union, connection, balance. If it wasn't ONE you literally couldn't have a reality. The same is true of infinity. If it wasn't infinite you couldn't have life, because life must contain all possibilities for it to be truly REAL. So truth must be One, Truth must be infinite, and it must be One. Until you understand what Truth and Love is....then you won't understand. Only a life that has been lived based on truth and love can understand what is being presented here. It's fine....you don't have to understand either...that is also a form of truth and love as well.

If you drew that art, that art is beautiful!! Everything sounds good but I will drop a challenge for you. How can you take these existing models of games....and really change it? Think you could add politics to the game? Think you could add advanced cooking recipes for cuisines for the characters? Think you could add degrees of advancement for the civilization that could result in space travel? Could you create global pandemics? Could you create world wars? Could you create truce agreements and the ability to break them and take revenge through subterfuge? Could you create spy networks like a CIA type organization? Maybe technology ninjas? Really go for it...no limits...go bonkers with it!!!

Well it all depends on how we define religion....many people associate religion with dogma, and with tradition. That is one way to look at it. We could also personalize religion and call it a practice of devotion to a higher source of power or more expansive source of power. For example...look at how Osho defines religion. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wk1xvoQg1oA He makes the argument you can only be religious WITHOUT a religion. LOL. Trippy huh? I actually agree with Osho on one part, you cannot truly be religious without discarding religion. Because true religion should actually be Spirituality. The whole purpose of religion was to lay the foundation for a practice of connecting with all that is. If you notice Spirituality has the same purpose, to teach you how to connect with all that is. For example...not doing anything....is the same as doing. So your practice could just...be, BEING. Another practice could be dancing, singing, etc. And that could be your practice, to connect to being by doing something with so much devotion that you realize that doing...is also being. So yes I actually see Spirituality as a religion, but a religion FREE OF DOGMA. To me Spirituality is the cultivation of an individual connection and expression of your divine individuality. And to me the purpose of Religion ultimately is the same thing. So for me Religion will gain back its power when it seeks to assist you in your individuation, but to expand that individuation towards the infinite.

Disagreeableness is a trait that is key in leadership surprisingly. It is a trait that makes you authoritative, it makes you more likely to rebel against established norms. Consistent research showcases that majority of people who make it to the top of competitive environments score high on disagreeableness. Now obviously this trait needs to be balanced with agreeableness as too much disagreeableness will turn you into a criminal, but that is obvious and besides the point. Another key feature they mention is also how open to experience the Presidents are. If you are an introvert, being President is probably not the job for you. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/08/presidents To run for office as Present of the United States: Be a natural-born citizen of the United States. Be at least 35 years old. Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. Now this is the official requirements....let's talk about the unofficial requirements. If you are a woman you are less likely to win. Woman like to blame men as the ones holding the U.S. back from having its first Female President but this is not the case. Women outnumber men both in population, voter registration, and voter turnout/actually voting. Source: https://cawp.rutgers.edu/facts/voters/gender-differences-voter-turnout So the only one that is stopping America from having a Female President...is women. You are less likely to win if you are unmarried. James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States and served from 1857-1861. He was the only President to be elected from Pennsylvania and to remain a lifelong bachelor. Buchanan's niece, Harriet Lane, acted as hostess for him. Lane was orphaned at the age of eleven and Buchanan was her guardian. If you are shorter than 5'9 you are less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heights_of_presidents_and_presidential_candidates_of_the_United_States#:~:text=The tallest U.S. president was,examination summary from February 2023. If you are not rich you are less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth If you are not white you are less likely to win. This is self-explanatory outside of Barack Obama all prior Presidents identified as white. If you have not gone to college less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_education If you have prior criminal convictions you are less likely to win. You can run for the President as a felon but there has not been a President who was elected as a former convicted felon. Donald Trump was sued for fraud while running for office but it was in civil court and he settled for 25 million while running for office. There may be other unofficial requirements which is just things Americans consider unconsciously and consciously when they go to the voter booth. Other than that....anyone that fits the 3 requirements of being a natural born citizen, 35 years old, and lived in America for 14 years can run for the Office of the President of the United States of America.

Love is completely empty and is completely full. But you can only experience the fullness when you realize you are empty.

^^^LOL you are a wise fool because if you awaken you receive the greatest gift ever....yourself. You get free samadhis whenever you want, you get bliss for free. You can rev up the feeling of love or dial it down. You also understand people at the deepest level imaginable. No therapist, no psychiatrist could ever know or understand people better than you. Because you gain complete self-knowledge in that you know beyond a doubt that every person, every creature, everything is GOOD. You discover what GOODNESS is and get to see it from different angles. You understand that all the things you call evil actually SERVE GOOD. Because GOOD is so GOOD it can only experience itself through duality....so that is why all things we hate serve all things we love. You are able to see it and it makes you laugh.

Now you get why I get so annoyed by my other selves...so dishonest, they don't care about truth over feeling good. They would rather feel good than know the truth of who they are....but I get it....know why? Because enlightenment is like me walking into a movie theater and totally dissolving the immersion of the movie. Some people want to be immersed in the movie....so who am I to wake them up? Only reason why it annoys me is they come to a Spirituality Forum pretending this is what they want....LOL. Reminds me of people who get married thinking that is what they want...then they get depressed. People like the idea of awakening...most do not want to actually awaken. Why? Because they don't love themselves enough to release OTHER. You might ask...how do you release this attachment? Total satisfaction with the life you have lived, with all aspects of your character and your place in life. Once you get to that point you have achieved love with everything and you can finally let go of other. So when people struggle to release other it lets me know you are still not yet satisfied with your dream character and their life and you still have unfinished business.

It works exactly like a dream. You guys need to stop playing ignorant. Close your eyes...imagine an apple...TA DAH that is the same way you create everything in existence. All you do as God is lower the potency of your imagination to what you call human imagination. Why does Leo tell you to take a psychedelic? Because you can REMOVE THE LIMITER ON YOUR IMAGINATION. Psychedelics are not just some chemicals, they are the mechanism you put in your dream to REALLY WAKE YOU UP. So how it works...is it is amechanical. When you think of an apple, there is no process...it just spontaneously pops into existence in your mind when you think of it. This is the same way you create EVERYTHING. Now take your hand...move it from left to right.....your hand is appearing and disappearing right in front of your eyes. Yes right now what I am doing is no different than walking into a bathroom mirror and talking to my reflection. No different!!! This is what I and all of humanity are doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RviXU4teimw&ab_channel=SWNS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAmGX80jh8k&ab_channel=KING5Seattle All you gotta do as God to fool yourself is put another you in front of you like a mirror, give them a different personality and appearance....and TA DAH!!!! You fool yourself. Once you understand this fully, you realize....evil doesn't exist and that all humans...are LOVE because YOU ARE LOVE!!!

Absolute means total, total means alone. Why does it mean alone? Because it is all there is. If I told you your point of view was all there is...then your point of view is ALONE. It means there are no other point of views outside of your point of view. Thus it is alone. It would need another point of view to NOT be alone and this is not the case. This means if I REMOVE your point of view...there is NO point of view. So thus your point of view is TOTAL and is ALONE. The only way for you to NOT be alone is to TELL YOURSELF you are not alone which is what you do when you go to sleep. When you go to sleep your point of view in your dream is the ONLY POINT OF VIEW. When you trip on psychedelics your point of view is the ONLY POINT OF VIEW. If you are not there to observe something it never happened. Being told what happens is in your point of view and being shown a video of what happened is in your point of view. You have never and WILL NEVER experienced anything away from you. But you CAN TELL YOURSELF YOU HAVE and take that on as a belief. But you can NEVER PROVE IT. Because YOU ARE ALONE. You are always alone and will always be alone. You just don't like it. You create other, without other you are alone. Other is just YOU so since there is no other you are ALONE. You can fight this all you want but it never changes and will never change. If someone shoots you in the head, you will take EVERYBODY WITH YOU, the same way you do when you wake up from a dream. You fight this because you don't want to awaken. But one day you will awaken and you will lose other and be floating in a void. I have a friend, a girl I know who had a seizure and momentarily died and entered the void and she was totality and was the only thing there. I have also experienced the void and it was the same thing. You like to a void the void....which is what you are experiencing right now. That void has no other....and right now neither do you.

Experience is alone because it is all that is. The number 1 does not need a comparison or other to be one, and neither does alone. The number 1 is alone. Because it is the lone number. Look up the definition of the word lone. Lone: Single, Solitary, Isolated. So alone= Single, solitary, isolated. You all keep trying to find word games to avoid that you are a single, solitary, isolated, dreamer that has nothing else to reflect on....but itself. You can only compare yourself to yourself because you are all alone.
