@James123 "Quite literally, the "inner self" forms the body by magically transforming thoughts and emotions into physical counterparts. You grow the body. Its condition perfectly mirrors your subjective state at any given time. Using atoms and molecules, you build your body, forming basic elements into a form that you call your own." We are infinite, yet we come from nothing. We collect experiences across lifetimes and we emerge out of environments from which we individuate, we affect it and direct our experience, we tune into and attract certain experiences based on our beliefs, needs and desires, attitudes and troubles, dreams and disappointments, passions and failures. "If you hate illness you may bring upon yourself a succeeding life of illness, because the hate has drawn it to you. If you expand your sense of love, of health, and existence, then you are drawn in this life and in others toward those qualities; again, because they are those upon which you concentrate. A generation that hates war will not bring peace. A generation that loves peace will bring peace. To die with hatred for any cause or people, or for any reason, is a great disadvantage." "Change of form is not destructive. The explosive energy of a storm is highly creative. Consciousness is not annihilated. A storm is part of creativity. You view it from your own perspective, and yet one individual will feel within the storm the unending cycle of creativity, and another will personify it as the work of the devil. Through all your lives you will interpret the reality that you see in your own way, and that way will have its effect upon you, and in turn upon others. The man who literally hates, immediately sets himself up in this fashion: He prejudges the nature of reality according to his own limited understanding. Now I am emphasizing the issue of hate in this chapter on reincarnation because its results can be so disastrous. A man who hates always believes himself justified. He never hates anything that he believes to be good. He thinks he is being just, therefore, in his hatred, but the hatred itself forms a very strong claim that will follow him throughout his lives, until he learns that only the hatred itself is the destroyer. Remember what you concentrate upon"

Desire creates conditions for experience. The more conscious we are, the more control and freedom we have. Imagine us as byproducts of a larger consciousness that through experience grew into their own autonomous ascending selves, coexisting in this shared reality and ascending to perceive ever greater dimensions as even the absolute seeks change

@Butters Spirituality is awareness and contentment, problems is stacking ignorance on top of that, and we live in a collective world so it ain't easy when the action of one becomes a paradigm that influences all

@James123 The lion is important and I am important, we both want to survive and might get into conflict, which might make a mess. If my importance is courage, then I will learn better and acquire humility in death. If my importance is survival, I will tread carefully. Bodies age and die but souls know no death.

Because they want to be and cause collateral damage in the process

@James123 Everything is important and importance is important also, every part of reality is important to itself and we build bridges that make it important to other parts also, united in importance universally but in conflict locally Personals opinions are important and ultimately the fabric of reality is made of opinions, even if they have other opinions to battle with

@James123 why is the language of inquiry, an exploration of reality doing is an active process, the act of becoming you is an identity which creates such preferences implies subtle judgement and directs energies needs manifests themselves as cravings which create tendencies to is a destination which predisposes distance which creates a journey understanding is the process of integration it is something experienced to be other, or duality implies beginnings and endings creating a framework of time in which events take place questions demand answers The question answers itself why do you even need to understand it in the first place? inquiry leads identity towards desiring unity integrating duality by journey But beyond that, his need to understand is fundamentally a question no different to your question of his question

Try this: Sit down on a chair in front of a mirror and tell yourself to stop caring, then react with whatever comes up Figure out what the you within you wants and why and when it will be content so you can be free

Acceleration is to speed up the reel of time towards the conclusions we're unconsciously gravitating towards irregardless. I have found much value and understanding in art, at this point art seems more fundamental than philosophy and science, it is the language of creation and its cause, to explore and become. It seems I don't want to forfeit my ego but to experience, transcend and incorporate it. All experience creates karma, without it there is no existence, God is expressing itself through Infinity and becomes its creation in the act of realizing balance between love and autonomy in its own self-exploration. Selflessness is a selfish desire. Everything is selfish since everything is Self. When you interact with another, you're interacting with a different version of yourself that you are unconsciously simultaneously experiencing, you are viewing them through your lenses and can seek to understand them, to enhance their experience is to enhance your own experienced later, but beyond that you become the transformation and energy that you express, when you express compassion you become compassion, find and channel it from within yourself and let it resonate through your being. When you create a story, you become its characters and their differences, you set the stage and consciousness may scale to be the same thing on our layer of actuality. Our own position is one of autonomy but our desires and individuality originate from the collective environment that formed them, in other words, we formed ourselves externally and now enter a feedback loop internally. Pure selflessness is death, it is to fulfill all desires within oneself and seek to do the same for others, but life itself is love, to have desires is to live, our life is chaotic but only because we're learning how to be as consciousness. We're learning to balance desire and autonomy with harmony and love, we're seeking individuality and unity simultaneously, to discover and create and to live, to make our own choices and have our own will, yet we all share the same reality and become it in the process of creating it, further subdividing ourselves into the others that we then experience the environment and difference through, that spawn different conflicting desires we have to learn to navigate. I thought to become whole was to become nothing, but nothing as I understood it is pretty boring, this is perfect.

@James123 Get to the source of it and burn it up!

"life is not a problem to be solved ..its a mystery to be lived " -Osho

@Dodo Everyone acts to the best of their ability and in pursuit of love, the problem is unconsciousness, to blend out or justify suffering and harm because in pursuit of a separate source of love. Think back to what you wanted to do to those pigs. Unconsciousness creates violence and violence breeds violence. There are many ways harm is brought about and it originates from various aspects like Ignorance, Stubbornness, Bitterness, Revenge, Resentment, Rebellion, Freedom, Purpose, Meaning and desire for Autonomy, which can be misinformed or misguided, though all that is a vast layer of interpretation since we are not absolutely conscious of all aspects of reality. Stepping on an ant, car accidents, bad experiences and various psychological states and conditioning. It's a vast ocean

@ZenAlex And what makes it significant?

I feel the sudden urge to play devil's advocate. Just for fun though, I agree with much of what is pointed to except the expression through language Only is a constrictive word, everything is real and unreal but you can navigate it and achieve greater freedom by detachment Stuck implies powerlessness, how do you know we're not consciously keeping ourselves unconscious for a reason beyond our awareness? How do you know for sure they have an experience, that's kind of an assumption, it could just be a superficial self-projection onto mechanical constructs like robots acting on logic and generating the impression of an experience, or like video games using background images from the skyline Well then which one is it? You imply God is an independent source of all and then say its imagined by me only since only I am real and create all Defining God might be helpful at this point, since you point at different states with the same word making different conclusions What if this experience is the desired expression of God's freedom, why else would an all powerful being have it? The ego might dislike it Now let me reflect and see how I understand what you point towards. 1. Beyond every partial experience, there is an Infinity of potential others. God is unlimited an unbound to any form. Within Infinity, all forms exist and any is as real and absolute as any other but as God we can navigate between them, creating various scenarios by using our creative imagination. Though "God" itself implies some kind of absoluteness, can we call God God when he is experiencing? Is God himself not each of the infinity of forms? When we point to God, we seek transcendence but when all difference dissolves, God is everything. 2. God imagines his own body and reality, others and self on various levels of actuality, imagination, and inter-projection. To know the exact "realness of any other, we would have to become fully aware of their form and content, ourselves within them internally materializing our perception of them externally. 3. Everything is real by virtue of existing within experience, what it is can be explored and expanded however. 4. An energetic formation in Infinity holding itself together and apart from the rest, using the infinite dimensions of perception to create and maintain itself and create associations and context. Past experiences create Karma, an attachment due to unfulfilled emotional needs and unconscious desires. 5. God creates me and I create the image of God within me, I am God ultimately, though the I never really has that much room by itself, yet there is a constant feedback and if we see the ego as always transient and expansive, rather than constrictive in nature, then there need not be a contradiction. There is a spectrum between me as I know myself and God, though you might say I am fully encompassed in God and yet God himself by taking on various forms expands his experience and understanding and changes also. Formlessness need not be static though whether it is is it's own discussion. 6. They are arbitrary and meaningful and pass with time, are absolute and relative, subjective and purposeless, creative and constrictive as much as expansive and timeless also. But we are not bound to them, if that's what you're pointing towards, we can liberate ourselves from the need to keep those static cyclic configurations within ourselves in the form of needs and attachments and we can move past them. It seems to creates an experience and tightens the veil of perception to immerse himself in it, then from outside and inside the experience takes on a unique form and the higher and lower Self co-create it, the self that is consciously creating the world from without and the less aware self experiencing it from within. Freedom is nice.

It's what is subconscious for you. Can you see the aliens, hypercubes and each past version of yourself in your current experience, if not its because they exist in a state of potentiality rather than the actualized reality that is part of your current aware perception. The subconscious generates the reality that the ego within is becomes aware of. That which happens when you take psychedelics, the goal is to become more aware of that and reprogram it, Leo is pointing to what is outside of our current awareness, that which constructs our body and reality, in other words, the whole God.

Since Leo and everybody else here seems to see everything as dream and imagination, including the pointed to actuality behind every concept itself and many talk about having collapsed all separation and accessed absolute solipsism becoming God in the process, then with all that insight, how do you access imagination so deeply that it changes actuality itself to the level indistinguishable from everyday experience? I want to access and realize the innate abilities within me that I apparently use to unconsciously materialize everything. I know that I create objects and categories, how do I create the substrate layer of actuality from which I draw these concepts? How do I access that power?

@Davino How many mg 5-Meo-DMT is conscious enough? Bending reality would be nice but long range telepathy would suffice as a start @Leo Gura Can you make a video on how to do that?

Love has many forms and many understandings. Many turn to universal love, since it causes less pain by means of detachment from any particular outcome. But the pain of really caring about the wellbeing of a particular life is an expression of massive intensity of love. Though that intensity in itself can become detrimental to one's ability to engage in life and express it. There are also many lessons to be learned about the innate need for autonomy of every individual and about possible personal biases and projections upon another from oneself and there is much to be said about loving oneself before one can properly love another, Leo has great videos on all that @Javfly33 @DodoI want you two to watch the following video, specifically 16:39 - 17:56 and then continue

@vibv It feels quite unfortunate, like your kid self wanted a lego set that would mean the world to him, and now you have ten of them lying unopened in the closet collecting dust because you've outgrown it. Though this makes me wonder if we outgrow things or merely shift our identity, since technically all distinction and preference is identity and imaginary. I guess there is a realization of excess however, that at one point you might have more than you can make use of and it traps you instead.

I first conceptually accepted that they are both a state of mind. From that point on, it was contemplation, psychedelics, dream journaling + attempts at lucid dreaming, Leo's videos paint a picture, there are books and other material that address and expand one's perspective and paradigm to dissolve the rigidity which creates resistance towards non-dual integration, learning about non-duality itself and exploring other spiritual subjects and yoga in general make you open up, transcending the materialist and scientific world view also opens up one's intuition to greater perception.

No, it's just that people use this word in various ways, but I am very well aware what you're pointing to. The people you hold dear, the activities you enjoy, the beauty of reality expressed in a sunset, the force that shapes your life, the feeling of significance, the impact of events, the inner source of all emotions and love you feel and see expressed both internally and externally. Just like non-duality there are two polarities, of no-self and all-self, between these our individuality resides, we navigate an endless reality and many seek the freedom of detachment due to their circumstances, but this does not deny the validity of any experience. Inquire into the meaning you feel, into the sources from which you see it emerge, feel into it and you will discover its nature. Meaning is both personal and universal, you are an expression of it as it is an expression of you, it manifests itself in all forms and ways across reality. It is what drives consciousness to create and explore. Others use a different word to describe this pointed to experience, which is love, but a word is still a pointer and you will not find its significance until you explore the territory behind the map.

@Rafael Thundercat The use of "dream" here is a pointer towards non-dual integration of both waking and sleeping states exactly because we hold such a strong duality in our mind. The goal is to bridge that difference, see what it's made of and find out where and how the difference between those states of minds comes to be, since they are both a state of mind. It's just that instead of exploring that intersection, people tend to just make reinforcing statements, which are still a pointer, but miss addressing whatever gap in perception and transition actually creates the dissonance.

@Ishanga @Javfly33 @bammy32 All exists simultaneously, the "present moment" may be all that exists but our current experience is just one part of it that we happen to be tuned into, we use time (past and future) and space as a means of navigation and immersion to construct and change our reality within it. Thoughts are the outer layer of the onion but as valid as the world itself. All is absolute and relative simultaneously, operating in a feedback loop. We share a reality and have our own, in greater terms, all emerges from a greater inner reality and is made distinct by perception and focus. Imagine us as the fruiting body, the mushroom above the mycelium network, there is no real separation and yet we can draw a distinction, interconnected under and distinct above, sense organs on the outer portion tune us into the reality we perceive and both access and generate our externalized world, despite possible distortions and interpretations.

There is always the possibility for more layers to be uncovered. Awakening is realizing experientially that which you previously engaged with conceptually. It is to become aware of the actuality pointed to which you have become unaware of or never fully engaged with directly. If you continuously talk about the moon, its relation to space, science, tidal waves, occasionally see it in the sky but don't pay much attention and then deeply and consciously look at the moon itself, realizing its the source of all discussion, then that's an awakening for all intents and purposes. Psychedelic trips often strip that conceptual layer away and beyond that make you aware that the source of objects is inside your mind, that they are at the same time absolutely themselves, it goes straight to the core from which all originates. Don't worry about completeness, there's always more. Just become directly aware of what is pointed to and that's awakening

Identity seeks to continue, so there's something it can lose, additionally it piles up more it can lose and tries to maintain, while it can gain, there is a massive fear of loss. But from a purely conscious perspective, this whole experience is already surplus and every moment within it just more opportunity, there is change of form, there is the gift of life, but no death. It's amazing that you accessed this advanced state experientially. One might say it is the natural way, but our conditioning is like a force of nature. When all need dissipates, being becomes beautiful.
