EVERYTHING is a state of consciousness. Baseline state fluctuates!!! It's a state!! The part of you that is unchanging and the part of you that fluctuates is ONE. If Ralston sits and meditates what he experiences will be different than his normal baseline. Your state fluctuates....consciousness is not stagnant its fluid.

It's cause he lacks imagination and he lacks Self-Love. LOVE IS THE PATH!!! The path of devotion!!!

The History of America is literally built off crime. Using that argument we should just live in the woods.

He has no clue what he is talking about. Literally love IS consciousness. It is LITERALLY LOVE. The irony is....he literally constructed an identity with Consciousness, by calling love and universal connection...a state. So according to him a universal connection is a state. This PROVES he is NOT enlightened because to feel a universal connection with everything...is equal to being nothing. There is no difference. But he calls it a state. Now think about it...why does he call it a state? Because he does not feel connected. Now notice this....the feeling of connection....is love. So the reason he doesn't like that...is because he has not awoken to love. Ralston is too rigid, to understand love and thus....he has his limits in his teachings.

This^^^^^ what has been bolded. Great response Yogi!

LOL......

The Absolute and the Relative are the same thing. The Absolute, is the absence of all qualia. The Relative is the prescence of all qualia, with an ego identity that relates to it. Close your eyes....Notice that black screen. That is the absolute. Notice you can push your awareness in any direction on that black screen and it will go on forever. Notice if you allow it...that black screen is also transparent and can turn into a dream if you allow your mind to wander. Notice that you can also go BLANK and there can be NO SCREEN and absolutely nothing....this nothing...is your true nature. You can then realize if you pay attention that everything that you call something....is the SAME as that blank. It just vibrates. These vibrations express themselves in an infinite number of ways. But each vibration is impermanent, while the screen is always there...unchanging. Both are awareness. What is totally mind boggling is that screen is always aware....even if there is a blank out. That screen is eternity itself. That screen has always existed and will always exist....because it is a transparent nothing. This is why death does not exist and is a fantasy. What you call death is no different than you closing your eyes and going to sleep. This is why Awakening/Sleeping....are the same thing.

All personal experience is a Dream.

Everything you perceive is your WILL. There is your individual WILL and your collective Will. Your individual will is getting dissolved throughout the spiritual path so you can realize that everything is your WILL. Everything that happens in your life is designed to perpetuate this process. If you resist it...you will suffer. One example can be a loved one dying, impermanence is an aspect of Reality. You need to learn to accept the end of things. Another example is unfavorable weather. You need to accept that your individual WILL does not supersede your collective WILL. Lastly an awakening to your true nature shows you that everything that has transpired in your life....has been your collective will. Your true self....is a single collective will. You can use the terms singularity, and the collective is infinite.

We got a DJ in this video....playing Allan Watts....it's slowly creeping into spaces it has never been before. The day that it becomes fully Main Stream is not that far off.

No problem, if you start to get pain do not be afraid to go to the hospital to get checked out. Also since you are God, you do have the ability to create suffering. Some pain is just normal bodily functions, but some pain....is psychological. Psychological pain has the ability to temper or influence your reality. It's tricky, since the ego has the ability to communicate with Infinite Intelligence you could dream up some crazy things, as you go further in this work your ego will become your worst enemy. Delusion is VERY EASY to fall into. You need to remember that any paranoia is falsehood. Paranoia is the ego's defense mechanism when a loss of control happens. Make a concerted effort through detachment to never allow yourself to give in to paranoia. Paranoia is just fear based thoughts that arise, you can observe them without giving in to them.

This is NORMAL. Stop allowing your ego to create paranoid stories. Unless there is extreme pain you are fine. On the spiritual journey your energy will start to be aligned. This alignment is the process of your ego eventually being cracked so your Consciousness can expand and is a process. Right now. your energy and sense of self is still housed within the egoic identity of your body. Your journey is controlled by your Will. If you resist this process with fear and ignorance you will suffer. Many of you do not understand that the materialist paradigm fills you with so much unwarranted fear. YOU ARE GOD. What are you fearing? You have no idea how wrong the materialist paradigm is. That error is so large...that if you are not careful you could permanently change your baseline to an entirely different reality....one that contradicts everything you ever knew or understood as your life. This is not a game....and in another sense...it is.

1. You have no idea how smart you are. 2. You have no idea how powerful you are. 3. If you go deep enough you can literally break reality. What does that mean? You won't be able to hold this reality together? Why? This reality is held together by two things, attachment, and ignorance. If you release attachment....which is the most dangerous then you won't have anything tethering you to your human dream. After that....once the veil of denial is overcome...your reality will collapse and this dream will be no more. Everyone complaining in this thread has NO IDEA how much they love being human. You are in such denial it is hilarious!!! How do we know you love being human....your still dreaming your human life. THAT IS HOW WE KNOW. If you didn't love being human right now....you would have already found a way....to collapse this human dream and you would no longer be dreaming your current human life. Your WILL is ridiculously powerful, many of you do not realize that you are WILLIFULLY IGNORANT. You heard that right.

The Path to Awakening is Honesty. I will give examples so you can understand. To learn something you need to be honest. You have to remember something exactly to learn it. If your memory is faulty you will not remember it, and if you lie to yourself about what you do and do not know then you will delude yourself and lack the proper knowledge. You learn through observation, you learn through contemplation. This observation must be in silence and this contemplation must be honest. No assumptions, no adding what wasn't experienced. The problem is, many devote their life to lies and deception and create an Ego that is so dishonest, and tricky they will never escape out of the prison of their ego. You see the complexity of your ego is designed by how HONEST you are. If you construct an ego out of a love for truth then the path to permanent awakening won't be as complicated. But if your ego was conflict oriented, and completely reliant on gaining and amassing as much power and influence and control, then your ability to awaken will be hard-pressed. Why? Because to awaken for you, you will have to drop everything you spent your entire life to attain...which is a desire to control. You see awakening is not just some feeling like you are everyone...it goes deeper than that. What would you say to a permanent dissolution so deep....that you are literally RAW EXPERIENCE. Your ego divides up reality into categories that creates resistance. For example...if you judge smells as BAD, then your ability to live from a baseline experience of pure RAW EXPERIENCE is prevented by that judgment. Literarily any judgment/resistance is you communicating NOT ME. Now your bubble of reality is a self-communicating field. All awakening/enlightenment is prevented by your JUDGMENTS. It is why I said it is NOT GENETICS this is falsehood. Your created your life through falsehood, and then erased your memory of this, this means you LIED to yourself. So the only way to navigate this journey is through love for the truth which is honesty. Perfect Self-Love is Perfect Honesty, which is perfect acceptance of what is happening. All pain...is just the resistance of the metaphysical cage of the ego. This cage is a maze, an intricate maze/web of lies that you construct to live as an individual identity. As you melt this cage...your sense of self spills out and your experience starts to change. Everything feels closer, deeper, more intimate. This is why the term DIRECT is often used. But the deeper you go...you will stop feeling human and will start to feel like RAW EXPERIENCE. This will create fear of insanity or losing ground. This fear...is falsehood. All that is happening is you are changing your experience from that of a human...to literally life with no barriers. Can you go all the way? Can you be absolutely self-less as a baseline? Up to you...

Read this article and notice...the subtle influence of mysticism...slowly seeping into this discussion... https://www.heathercaliri.com/im-autistic-and-autism-doesnt-exist/

If you didn't know you existed...you couldn't state what you stated, you couldn't even know about the void. Think about that one. I've been to the void...I knew I existed.

Everyone on the forums...seeks a response when they type a message. Nothing wrong with seeking, to seek is to communicate. You cannot stop seeking. Stop creating new experiences, stop communicating, just be an empty void for eternity with no more illusionary Universes and lives to live. Too bad that won't happen because you are INFINITY you will seek for eternity. It's why waking up is NOT the end of seeking, it's becoming aware why you constructed everything to begin with. A creator seeks to create and that is your true identity.

Many people try to push Kobe Bryant as some uncaring, ultra-maniac. But he knew how to be respectful and caring too.

There was never duality to begin with.

Baseline Enlightenment is not a complicated thing at all. Stare at reality, put your attention on your heart, then conjure up feelings of thanks, appreciation, gratefulness, do this until it feels like your heart has exploded and you will shatter the boundary and will access the Absolute. How does one become this appreciative? Live a life of integrity, and love. When you live a life this way, you raise your ability to access the love and intelligence that you are. Over time that investment will pay off and eventually you will be led towards an awakening. That awakening will be permanent, baseline if you desire to live from that state.

Oh he has...he got 2 videos about this. This is the love I admittedly struggle with. Pain is the experience of weakness/strength lol.

I agree I have met some people like that as well. Outside of something like 5-Meo I don't think most will understand what he is pointing to in his talks.

That part is going to come back to bite you. There is a time and place for ruthlessness in extreme circumstances...but in this modern age...ruthlessness is in general unnecessary. If you are taking advice from Tate on being more ruthless you are asking for a life of blind ignorance as you ruthlessly manipulate others and then deny that you did so. Your choice...but something to think about.

Good Interview, Martin Ball verifies what I have stated previously. The key to having a breakthrough non-dual experience is about opening your heart. The more you can raise your level of love....that is the key.

You are God. The only thing that holds you back is the little you's attachment. If you have an authentic desire for LOVE, and TRUTH YOU WILL AWAKEN 100 percent guaranteed. But do you? Many enter this work out of curiosity, and some out of a desire to transcend suffering. Nothing wrong with that but these motivations WILL NOT lead you all the way. In fact many people with these issues/attachments do end up having a mystical experience and start having a Messiah Complex. So be careful with that.
