Like what @cetus said, you are already awakened. You are awake (being, existing) right now reading this comment. In truth, there is no awakening, since there is no one to be awake or unawake. There is only this awareness.

Nothing happens to your real nature. It's like the end of one dream, but what you really are (awareness, The Self, reality, whatever you want to call it) is completely untouched. You are that even now.

You spitting game, Razard?

Razard, if we ever somehow meet, I’m going to buy you a burger from The Varsity. My treat.

Who is this “I” that doesn’t want to be God? Clear that up, and you’ll never fall for that trick again. Essentially, the “I” who has this fear is not real. It is only a thought. Appearing in what? The awareness that you are right now and have always been. Enjoy!

What are you trying to say? Also, if you are God, others must then be that as well, as you are the only essence. There is no other.

Don't worry, Leo. In my subjective world, you're famous enough.

I agree, so solipsism can now be dropped.

Well, I won’t debate you on that matter, but let me just ask you this and I’ll be on my way. In your direct experience, right here, where is this “God?” Who or what is this God? Other than thoughts, which you are clearly aware of, where are you getting this from? You say God wouldn’t have it any other way. How do you know this? What God told you this? I am not trying to pick a battle, I am just genuinely curious.

What do you mean? I didn’t mean to sound aggressive in my tone in the before post, I do apologize for that, but that’s really what it all comes down to.

All this talk on solipsism is mental masturbation, c'mon. Whether it is valid or not does not change a thing. The show goes on. Really, solipsism is just another concept. You are. Being is. Stop there. You cannot possibly deny your own existence. Apparent "others" are that too. It does not change shit. Your apparent body still interacts with apparent others, pays apparent bills and still eats apparent food. Give it up.

To be fair, I don’t see why not. How can that even be known, though? To us, it’d be exactly like this.

Whoever this “Leo” guy is sounds like a cool guy. I’d like to buy him a coffee someday. Wonder how he discovered this site?

That's my dream, to be honest. There's nothing wrong with it, given you got what it takes.

Who and what you are. All problems stem from that.

I seek a double-double with animal fries. I'm fucking with you. I think I follow what you're saying.

Yes, I have had some mystical experiences with it. I have the audio files if anyone wants. Edit: This one below seems to be shared the most from r/gatewaytapes. If you don't trust it, I can see if I can email you the ones I already have downloaded. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U42lZgeyhugKZbfl7ouT_e7z5zNAgjMu/view

You are experiencing reality right now with no ego present. The ego is nothing more than a thought. Pause thinking for a minute, where is the ego? Your very existence IS the reality. Really, there's not even a "you" to experience reality. Just reality. That judging thought is the ego itself. There is no way to get rid of the ego, since who or what is getting rid of it? Getting rid of the ego is the ego thought-form itself. Just see that thoughts are not you. You are prior to thinking. If you want to party, party. If you want to drink alcohol, drink alcohol. Same with any other desire. There is no "you" doing any of it. The only "problem" is when you form a conceptual reference point (a "me") and take yourself to be that. Then from there, that brings in suffering. "Why is this happening to me." "I am no good." "I feel so guilty."

If you are doing all that, who are you telling here? Sounds like a pretty sad experience to me.

What is it that you are seeking? What do you want? Are you searching for “It? The mind loves gross sensation. It’s always searching for the next blissed-out state, or the next high. I have been stuck in that cycle of getting high, furiously masturbating, consuming content and feeling empty right after. Let’s play a little game. Whatever you are searching for, whether it be God, The Truth, Reality, Enlightenment (all pointers to the same thing), start from that fact that you are already that which you seek. Take it on an act of faith if you have any initial doubts. When I tell you all of “my” problems just went away, that truly is all there is to it. Suffering is just abolished. There’s no self-center to take hold. No guilt, shame, regrets of the past, fear of the future. Just this.

Life is. Fair/unfair are of the mind.

Razard, honest question - I am not trying to single you out. Who or what is awake? If the ego is seen to be false, who is it that awakens?

Breakingthewall only knows what the senses of Breakingthewall allows. Just so much as everyone else here. Everything is an appearance within awareness.

For the love of God. Solipsism does not equal nonduality. There is no “you” to be alone.

Does your existence have an explanation? I am not talking about the body, I am talking about that innate awareness that’s within you right now. That does not need an explanation. It just is.
