Infinity = Absolute, so its all one and the same, what is it that makes Us as Humans, and other lower Conscious Life forms feel a sense of Separation and Why is it this way? One, all Life has a form of Identity, Humans have the most capability to Identify, most of Us have Multiple Identities, some not as important or intense as others, we identify as a Man/Woman, Rich/Poor, Single/Married, Father/Mother, and so on.. Other Life does this in a much more simple way, they just identify with what they are, a plant, animal or insect and they all strive to Survive well another Day... This is in place so that Embodied Life can function and prosper as a Life form on this planet, the way Reality is set up here with an Atmosphere, Atoms, Duality, Gravity, Social systems set up to function in a certain way, etc... If we really dive deep into it, if we Identify as the Cosmos or Absolute, our Survival Instinct will dissipate dramatically.. So life here is a certain way and is given to Us Automatically, we don't have to do anything really about Gravity and the Atmosphere working correctly so that life happens here, the same as what is happening within our own Bodies, Body is life orientated but its stuck at two levels of Survival and Procreation, it wants to find food and shelter/warmth and spread its seed but it is life orientated, Mind is not so much as it is more Conditioned than the Body... To live at a higher Potential we have to Strive for it, Seek it out, and that aspect is much easier to do Today than Ever Before, we have more access today as to how to live to a higher Potential that we ever have, we just have to seek it!!

This is only in relation to Absolute knowing and actions per say, I can see someone doing something and assume their motivation and intentions, and be completely wrong about that, but that is mind space judgining (which is a natural reflex, we need to judge or observe and quantify, etc, problem is now this has overtaken many to become an addiction, their doing all the time not just when they need to do it). My Ego does this all the time, I see a stranger, observe/judge what their wearing, how they walk, the look on their face, etc make a quick judgement and such, its a social conditioning trait as well as a natural one, they say communication is mostly about body language don't they? But I can override this Ego judgement and have space btwn it and what is truly there, another Life, just like Me making its way thru this thing we call Life and relate to it... Its obvious You take it seriously, as Your here daily posting daily lol!! I don't ask any questions, I've been thru that stage, I just reply to what is interesting to Me and maybe try to help when I can and to observe my Ego triggers...

Because we invented the concepts/meaning behind the words "something" and "nothing", which did not exist when Mankind was born... Potential being Manifested... The real question is How is all of this taking place, happening and being Manifested, that is the real question, maybe super duper AGI will figure it all out with a million page essay!

This is the crazy that will come to someone, like Yourself, when its continual Questions being raised, waiting for Answers, then taking those Answers and second guessing, asking countering questions and on and on it goes! First where is this Assumption stuff? I do not Assume I am alive and that there are ppl around Me, and buildings and planet Earth, I perceive it with senses provided to Me at birth as most all living things have, if I start to second guess this then that is where the Crazy starts to happen.. Now I am not saying I know completely what it is I am Perceiving, there are many layers to Life and Existence, our basic 5 senses just gives up enough data so we can survive another Day plus its conditioned, but as Humans we can Perceive in other ways as well...But when You start to Question everything that enters Your Mind, and keep in that Mind space for sure one will go Crazy as can be seen here...

The Ones asking Questions, and Questions are super important to them are trapped in the Mind (Thinking, Concepts, Thoughts, Data, Philosophy), this is expected in the Beginning, when life just comes to a point where the material and continual accumulation stuff just doesn't do it anymore, I would assume that is the case for most that come here and participate.. For those still asking Questions after a period of time, I would have a great concern about them, there are many that frequent this place, they are still trapped in the Mind, wanting "Answers", well whatever Answers You get are still just stories or concepts, not Truth in any way, and they will lead to more Questions and the cycle goes on and on endless almost... Sooner or Later it has to become a much stronger Desire than just Questions and Mind, to the point where You can't sleep or eat well without knowing.. When that happens You become Willing, which means You have to drop the Questions and Beliefs that You already have and are open to what IS, then via Experience it comes to You, because we are the best and most capable of all Life on this planet to Know what it is and Experience as it Is! What Existence? Its simple, just list the reasons why not Existence and reverse it, its just Potential being Expressed that is all, its has to happen somewhere otherwise it wouldn't be happening here and now...Problem is Your Mind is in the way of Experiencing it as it Is!

not empty either on the gross level, its all relative, which in the end is all one has, subjectivity and relativity, only here intellectually can we go further, which in the end is anti truth which is the paradox, it either inspires or dis empowers depending again on individual perspectives and choice..

nexusoflife just posted the grandest experience he has had, it has shaken his/her world in a good way it seems.. Santiago Ram in the mental health section is having the opposite experience, a hellscape of sorts.. If You deny Experience, the differences then that is fantasy, non reality, both can happen in one's life, that is the potential, we have to choose which one we want!

Not on this plane, on this plane there is duality, cause and effect, consequence and creation that then is destroyed, recycled and such, this is the gross realm or plane, the more subtle you go the less of this there is!

I agree, we are built to want more in all areas of life, just when it comes to this Absolute stuff what is more than that?? I've never had that Grand of Experience as the OP states, but he did say it was glimpses, I've heard of that happening, like samadhi states, which are sort of Glimpses I guess... Tricky to navigate for sure when all You know is shaken to the bone, then what to do!!!

Yes, all thoughts are recycled data just restructured to seem different...in other words nothing new is created...Humans though have the ability to create something new via thoughts that may come from recycled data, which is a sort of foundation of sorts, via that new thoughts/creations/experience may come about...

Interesting, You've just had Glimpses of the Absolute, which seems to be the most profound Experiences of Your life and you want more, how so, what is wanting more and why would You want more when You've already experienced Absolute, and how could there be more if Absolute is Absolute?? Glad You this is happening to You, we need more like You around:)

The very language cannot be used well to describe such things, when one says "I have" that means something was there before, it means two in essence, like I have a car, there is Me then the Car which is two... Its true though, we have a Body, but identity makes us experience at certain levels of Consciousness that this Body is Me, so its a conditioning problem, we are given certain gifts at birth but we have to condition them to survive, being Born God Realized would mean You would not survive very long, so we are not born this way generally...but most everything about us is thru striving and survival instinct of having more than what we have today, whether its knowing more, saving more, spending more, experiencing more, anytime more is involved that is survival Consciousness, low Identity of the scale of possible Identities..Another word for Identity is Ego per say...

First we have to define "Real", there seems to be lots of differing definitions, which again says allot as it is a basic thing right, like Experience! Do You Experience the the Tree like You do Your Finger? If You don't then that is a "Real" Experience, if not then what is it? Now who's to say this is normal or correct or whatever, maybe that experience of separation btwn the Tree and Your Finger can change, as some have said and claimed they feel it different that they can experience the Tree as they do their Finger? This is why Reality is just a Potential Producing Machine in basic language and structure..I don't know if a Turtle experiences a Tree like it does its own body, my mind says probably not, but Humans have said such things, so it seems we have more Potential than most other life in these matters.. The sense of Separation comes from our sense of Identity, and our Karma and Conditioning, we are for sure the most easily Conditioned life form with a variety of Conditioning patterns and methods laid upon Us, the powers that be have mastered this over the millennia, but luckily some have come forward and shared their experiences and methods for all to be able to Experience the Tree as themselves!

Yes for sure, wifey is starting to see it now too, but money is the problem lol.. I'm looking to get something going as a passive income but we'll see!! The city for sure is a reflection of the general society and its painful to see how it is, especially in a rich country like Canada, lots of unconsciousness going on, everyday there are reminders of it, its like a part of me is in pain, so for sure have to get out of here someday but at my age I can't just give it all up in a quick action, gotta set things up first properly!!

Right now I can't do things like this, too many responsibilities lol, wife, bills, job and such things,.,But I have at times in my life taken risks, not like sailing around on the ocean but risks per say it was good overall and turned out to be very beneficial, hope to do that again in the future:)
