    Its really simple.  Everyone is right here.  Absolute and relative is also a duality that can collapse!   It can be realized (don't believe me) that this field of Consciousness..this..right now..is all that exists.  You're not really a human its just a field of Consciousness imagining it is a human and that there are other humans with their own minds and that you are a biological creature with his own mind.  Thats all an illusion.  It is just Mind. One Mind or a single field of Consciousness and this is it.  There is nothing behind the scenes.  Nothing needs to be. That simply needs to be imagined by this Consciousness. 

    So..to say your grandmother isnt having her own experience right now is accurate., but at the same time you as her grandson also are not having your own experience.  "Your own" , your suggests a you and a me. A self and other.  There is just Experience.   Just like there is really no perception or perceiver there is just Being or Isness.

    No self is really the initial awakening one can have but no other is also an awakening one can have.  

    Is this Solipsism?  That's just a word. But the point is that tbis thing..this Consciousness right now..is all there is.  From this one Consciousness everything "else" can be created.  A universe..galaxies.  People, places, things.  And a you! 😀 All of that is the backstory.   

    Perfectly said.

    This insight can only be extrapolated backwards after being directly conscious of this first. Money cannot buy this gem of an insight. There's no going back after you unlock this realization. It's worth way more than a million dollars.

    I have experiences of the dissolution of reality and mind, spiritual emergencies and states of consciousness so radical that I just wanted it to end. I can confirm that whatever you think actually is reality, not just a thought. State of Consciousness is crucial because a thought in a ordinary consensus state is mere images, feeling in the mind, but in those higher states, my goodness. This is why mindfulness and meditation is so freaking important before you venture off into those radical states of consciousness because your thoughts become reality. You become supernovas and black holes and all kinds of crazy stuff.

    Truth is literally what is actual. If your imaging being kidnapped by a kangaroo, that's literally the truth right now

    Good job man, keep it up! Your twins will be grateful for that when they grow up.

    👍🏽 Thanks man. My dad set the tone, granted he only read fictions like james Patterson, social economics and black economics. He was very good at teaching me about his experiences growing up during the 60s and educating me on systemic racism

    Over a hundred books I'm proud to collected over 10 years , I know this is going to be valuable over my life and I don't just read these books once or twice I go over them multiple times because I know I will have to in order to have a degree of understanding that I may not have at the moment that I read it but I understand how important this is to my life. I even bought a bunch of books for my babies that we read together, I'm not reading them Peter Ralston and Ken Wilbur, LOL but I did buy them books on emotions, emotional literacy,  educational and very simple cognitive development books. My babies are three and they do not have a single iPad or phone, and we monitor screen time. Sucks that the rest of the families like their cousin and other relatives already have iPhones and iPads and they are just sucked on that stuff, not my twins.

    AI is definitely a tool, but you don't want to let the tool become the master. I do use Claude AI for fact check or to go even deeper on a topic that I don't understand and I ask a lot of simple and advanced questions not to just extract answers from it but to have a deeper understanding and a better clarification of topics to learn from and I don't just say I know it because I looked it up and used ai, I use it to further deepen my questioning and I don't just stop there. I totally understand the traps of using AI and how it could be used as a substitute to use your own mind to think about things. For example I'm learning more and more about black history, slavery, the Atlantic slave trade, black activist in the early 20th century, the Jim Crow laws etc so that I can command my depth and memory of human history. And I think it's the intention behind using it as well and not just consuming it

    Meta cognition. Uncovering our hidden core assumptions about self and reality. Rationality is a tool but there are many levels of rationality, pre rational, rational and transrational stages of development. Most of science is in the rational stage of development that is heavily influenced on the culture that you live in, conditioning from academia and if one has any experiences with awakening. We don't know how we come to know what anything is, and we don't even know what understanding is, which is something Leo points out towards the end of the episode.

    isn´t it crazy to think that most don´t achieve their potential? why would Consciousness imagine into existence a reality where most people don´t get to realize they are God??? 

    Consciousness imagines every form, potentiality and limitations, hence the life you are living right now. Since everything is God, God wants to experience every possible limitation and to pretend that it's not God. This is actually a beautiful thing. Just living as a organism or human being is what God wants to experience. Realizing God is like spoiling a movie in a sense, the point is to watch the movie and to think that it's real.

    Technically I grew up on the border of millennials and Gen z era, but I didn't grow up with a tablet and I didn't get a phone till the end of high school, I grew up spending time socializing with friends in real time, played sports, basketball, skateboarding, and boxing. I started reading osho, Alan Watts and very advanced self-help and metaphysical books in high school while everyone was on their phones, so I could genuinely connect with people but at the same time I fell like an outsider, A witness. I could step into people's reality bubbles and not get married to one paradigm and at the same time I can understand their worldview and the logics of it but I couldn't stay stuck in it, this simultaneously made me feel a little alone. 

    Some examples of this gen z culture that we live in. 

    •short attention span 

    •tiktok for info and education 

    •irony as communication and shallow condensed use of vocabulary for expressing feelings 

    •not caring as value signaling 

    •numbness 

    Come up with more examples, what do you notice?

    I don't claim to be special or above it, I just noticed it and I want to become aware of it more because in a sense I want to extricate myself from this.

    If I didn't know something or wanted to learn a topic, I will go to Great lengths to read books on it to read articles on it and to cross reference things and sources, but now people will just go on tiktok, it's kind of lazy if I'm being honest.

    I am an enfj, I crave social depth and also that inner intuitive auxiliary. I cannot stand social shallow and hollowness, it's draining talking about gibberish and gossip, I want to have a conversation at the edge of reality. Its even more interesting being an enfj after psychedelics and awakenings, there's this mismatch which can be interpreted as arrogance or introvertion. 

    I would love to have a conversation with anybody, bounce ideas off of each other and not just go deep but go very fucking deep. We could talk about car mechanics or anything as long as we really go down that rabbit hole and we can hold multiple threads of thought simultaneously etc I love being mind fuck and learning new things.

    Sometimes I feel like I have to shrink myself in order to relate with people, like trying to fit the infinite in a box. I'm done with that shit, I love to socialize and be authentic but I'm not shrinking myself anymore, if people can't lift at least an inch off the ground I'm flying high baby
