They seek intellectual truths. No psychedelics required to notice You never come in contact with anything outside of consciousness. It's not an intellectual thing, in fact, it breaks logic. Logic would tell you there is stuff like matter that is independently there. But all we have of it is sensations, images, smells - all mental things, all things within consciousness. This is the evidence we are working with, as proper scientists of this moment, no assumptions.

So much self deception in your post. You believe the mainstream idea that consciousness is emergent property omg I caannnt 😆 Im not going to argue, but you need to come out of your own ass. When someone is so deep inside their own ass, discussion is not productive. Keep observing and missing the Truth. Stop believing your mind, you are deep into mental masturbation. Consciousness being constant is in line with our direct experience, consciousness emerging and small part of reallity is a story you tell yourself within consciousness.

Here is an insanely good psychedellic collection of binaural beats from 2008s - they don't make them like this anymore. The first of these tracks I have remembered siince a long time ago, probably 14-15 years and found it just today. https://m.soundcloud.com/geomagnetic/01-electrypnose-a-sun-burning?in=geomagnetic%2Fsets%2Fdigicd003 Enjoy and be aware of the space of awareness while listening 🎶

You seem to be a materialist who believes consciousness is an emergent property. That true? Reality does not need consciousness? Thats news to me! Consciousness is fundamental to reality. Consciousness is the only reality. The only *thing* that doesnt come and go, a constant, the Truth.

I think you are a bit confused. Both atheists and religious people live in materialist paradigm. Just differ on the way it came about/ was created. Religious people just say physical reality was created by God, they are still materialist / believe in the existence of a physical reality outside of consciousness.

read my signature lol

I've always been under the impression that Sadhguru is a common charlatan, just a charismatic guy talking

@Wilhelm44 sure the absolute authority is also consciousness, but consciousness can take many forms which can be polar opposites of one another. I aam not consciousness in the form of absolute authority.

If you mean by God the ultimate authority, thats not me. If you mean consciousness then sure, thats me

Don't tell people what they are, even if you think you're right. The apple is not the tree.

Fear of missing out. I am sure you have money tho, right? Money is not important when you have it hehe

We playing this game? Let's play... You died? Who

Burning? Another attempt to be edgy. Join the circlejerk of sounding profound. What understanding? He is not saying anything, just cliches. Those reading will believe you are enlightened monks for sure, keep going!

No, that just sounds edgy and consistent with the "ego death" truth you've read about, and you want to sound like you know. However, talking on a forum about "Total death" might lead someone into suicide, and that is NOT the death we are talking about. Thank you.

As inspired by Paradoxical Quotes, lets have some wisdom drops in image format! My actualized family and I will save the world and we will spread the truth! :)) Enlightenment quotes - All about love, truth, wisdom, etc!!! All the good stuff :)))) PS: I searched for Enlightenment quotes thread, but it didn't exist (Or I couldn't find it ). There is Enlightenment One-liners, but nobody is posting pics there anymore, if ever

Wait... are you saying.. you peed your pants? 😆 So tell me, do you feel this now or was it just one time deal during a high? Is this something maintainable, or is it just like "well now I know" type of thing? Because you say in past tense how you felt so conscious, what about now in your regular state of mind?

Enlightenment in 0 steps, allow everything to be as it is, notice that it is known, abide as that ever present unchanging knowing, which you always were. -But mr Dodo i cant sell books with this simple shet, lets do some steps and progression so i can make the bucks.

You are just being silly, there is nothing behind me, everything including the sensation of a head is happening within me, awareness itself, the brightly shining void.

The poisoned milk analogy fits perfectly. It looks just like regular milk. Only awareness can separate the poison from the milk. I have listened to Bentinho in the past and knew that he was off, but I could still separate the milk from the poison through my own intuition due to raised awareness. I've had this with others too, like Sadhguru. I dont think Leo is teaching solipsism, he is teaching Awareness/Being, if he has called it Absolute Solipsism because there is only one being which is shared, thats just a label. I wouldnt use the label, but I get it.

First time nonduality? The sun is an object in awareness. Awareness is that which allows it to be known.

"Claiming something" is happening in the me, awareness, which is not a thing. The human body sensations, perceptions and conceptions happen within awareness. Like in a dream at night, the dream body appears in the same awareness.

Yeah, we are aware whether we say it or not.

@Mellowmarsh but you are aware, right? Undeniable fact of direct present moment experience, directly verifiable and constant. Only awareness can be aware. Not a dead, but alive emptiness.

throwing the baby with the bathwater there. I am awareness, but awareness is not a thing.

What I see is that you are not homeless and probably on a drug induced high.
