I understand now, Leo is right.

Last time on my last thread you said we are not free like we have no control on the dream and we are like puppets. I dont really understand can you explain more deeply please?

So am I ?

Realising that consciousness is an illusion brings a deep understanding of what is this life. It gives detachments to everything, no more suffering, profound peace... rather than a statement its a deep and beautiful realisation

What I'm saying is that if reality as you call it is impermanent and limited (we grow, we live, we die) then there is probably an underlying reality that is infinite and timeless which isnt limited, that means the true realisaiton is beyong ego, the true realisation of the self would be to realise that this reality is an illusion even the self as human (ego) and our true nature is beyond that limited reality, even if this limited reality is the fundamental reality, in terme of pure infinity, it isnt since its not permanent. The more I think about it and the more it makes sense. hindouist call it Brahman or ultimate reality/truth that transcends this world, it exists right there but we are just not aware of it due to the illusion hiding it

Once you've realised life is a dream, what is the ultimate purpose ? Having inner peace?

Since 1 week I discovered Ekajivavada and my understanding of the world never got so deep. Recently I was in a meditative state and suddenly a very powerful thought came to me (I was cpmpletely conscious and aware), eyes open also, and then I was completely aware of the illusion, I dont know how to describe this thought, I just knew it was a dream, so deeply. It was more than words. And visually everything starter to fade away (like blank) and I was leaving the dream, like awaking, and then I got scared so much and told to my self "I want to live" it is like I was too attached to this dream yet, I wanted live still. Then my visual stopped and I was back to the dream (life). I felt like I was going to another realm This is 100% true. Also I take no drugs or anything.

Say that 'life is life' without trying to understand or explore is like saying that a book is book without reading the contents. It is not by repeating obvious things that we advance in our understanding of the world. Thinking about nature of life allows us to deepen our understanding of it. Assert that it is useless is to renounce all philosophical reflection, which limits our ability to see beyond appearances. Life is a dream is not just a label, it is an invitation to explore the multiple dimensions of our existence and to question reality. Yes an apple is an Apple but it is also a fruit!

For sure, but when you detach from illusion you reach some kind of peace and understanding of the world that bring an inner peace that leads to a better life indeed. But yes basically it can give you freedom, but if you truely understand the dream, it goes in your favor instead of an obstacle. In short, it elevates you spiritually.

there are no differences between you and others

its just you

Thats the only possibility. If Solipsism is true then everything is trying to trick me to believe its not an illusion while it is. Its like my own mind is trying to trick me so I can live life, which is extremely weird but on the other hand if that wouldnt be like that life wouldnt be livable so in à way it is necessary. But also that is crazy that I am able to notice it is an illusion while I am in the illusion

Thats the point of illusion e

So for you illusion works for pleasures but not for pain? That is not very honest

It is an illusion my friend

I don't understand, in pure solipsism, all perceived reality is a mental construct, which includes the beauty of God.

I understand your warning, but I believe that my own perspective and power allows me to navigate these illusions without being affected by outside influences. I remain vigilant and cautious, but I see these influences as challenges to manage rather than as threats to my personal power

I understand the idea of finding beauty in illusion, but for me the illusion of 'I' is simply what it is: a mental construct. I prefer to approach it without judgment, neither positive nor negative.

Being a true solipsist is the smartest position I know. To adhere to solipsism, it is useful to possess acute critical thinking, deep introspection, resilience in the face of criticism, intellectual independence, capacity for abstract reflection, intellectual courage, sensitivity to subjective nuances, concentration on personal thinking, intellectual patience, critical analysis of experiences, a tendency towards abstraction, insight in the interpretation of perceptions, and emotional independence. Leo Gura is actually extremely smart. He just gave it to us like a present, but to be aware of solipsism and realise it from yourself is actually so smart I'm not sure I wouldve made it alone.

Weird

For me solipsism is absolutely wonderful and explain perfectly everything, my existential crisis disapeared and Ive never felt so much myself, alive and happy. Ive never encountered a single bad feeling about solipsism. I dont know even whats wrong being a solipsist. If anyone could tell me whats wrong with that?

What should I say? You are creating your own experience and there is nothing wrong with that

All my experiences bring me to that conclusion

I am asking opinions from you (or me) it is the same anyway ! My Ego isnt boosted at all, I am humble person, I just feel free by realising who I am I think you are not understanding what is solipsism and that is why you hâte it

While you can't prove it? Are you crazy ??? A solipsist is more rationnal than a non solipsist at least he believes what he is sure which his own consciousness
