That story doesn’t affect me or have any power over me, but there are other attachments that are hard to let go of for sure. Not a problem.

A better way to frame it, I think, is to notice all the attachments that we have. The attachments that we intuitively know are wrong or false. Yet, we keep maintaining those attachments as if our life depends on it. The question then would be, what is preventing us from letting go of those attachments?

The toxic person is indeed not separate from Consciousness. This is an important point to make, because how could something or someone diminish Consciousness?

Of course, because all of that IS God. If you have discovered what is being pointed to, this question would not even be valid anymore. I know, isn’t that amazing?!

Yes. That’s why it’s possible to pursue desires and fears consciously. It no longer becomes about attaining something. Rather, it’s a deepening of your understanding of Reality. I must be clear it’s not about understanding in terms of containing Reality in one specific way… it’s understanding that Reality is ALWAYS the case in any and all ways. You can choose to see the glass half empty, or see the glass as Reality.

Exploring Consciousness is a mind game.

That includes integrating misery and painful emotions. They are powerful teachers. What is misery? Contemplate the nature of misery and intentionally expose yourself to situations that you imagine are miserable.

Paper can exist in the absence of trees, sun, stars, water, loggers, etc. How is that possible?

I don’t know, man. There’s plenty of things that I want, but I’m better off without. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Do you believe that one state is more real than another state? If so, that could be a major obstacle towards higher understanding. I’m not talking about state you prefer, by the way.

Ironically, misery seen consciously is beautiful. You cease to see just misery.

It wouldn’t be nonduality then. Since when did Reality create a set of rules in order to maintain Itself… …oh.

Reality is an infinite dream. Furthermore, you make a wrong assumption that you’d be constantly jumping from one dream to the next if your body didn’t exist. What’s so special about your body?

As if you know what you want to have for dinner 50 days from now.

Of course it’s self-bias. Bias towards self. But the body is a figment of SELF. You can directly realize yourself as not merely the body. That’s what death is, directly; not as a theory!

The need to take care of it is itself a delusion. — We probably would have never gotten Star Wars had George Lucas believed that

Genetics and Jesus Christ are finite. I can hear a million scientists and religious people screaming in my ears right now with all their objections.

A subtitle mistake as well.

People make the mistake that once they are aware of their delusions, they have to do everything in their power to get rid of it. But what if you don’t actually have to get rid of it? What if you can learn from delusions and explore what delusion actually is? You cannot understand delusions by getting rid of them. You need to be in the eye of the storm of delusion and make the high conscious choice whether or not you want to continue feeding the delusion. Raising your state is key to successfully understanding delusion.

Which one is more Self?

Problem avoided.

Does your partner care about your survival and well-being? Family member? Friend?

A human being cannot jump off the top of a building and survive. I was able to when I was not human.

There’s ultimately no need to help those around you, since all of it is Consciousness. You can be so conscious that other is You. In other words, when other is in need of help, it’s simultaneously you needing help seeing you through other. The trick is not to get wrapped up in story about this. There’s no way the human mind can process this deeply. Becoming directly conscious is key… it’s honestly unexplainable and a miracle.
