It's very paradoxical subject. Religion is designed for masses, groups of individuals, ofcourse it is set in the play of duality. Btw @Razard86 ego doesnt say "i have consciousness", ego says "i will tell you what ego says and you better believe me" lol! If one is an ego but says " I am consciousness " he's still an ego saying that, an avatar. No problem with that, i start having problem when people try to mask it. If you are here in the world of form, you are separate and are an ego. Paradox! If you run away from that fact you are not being authentic. You will have eternity to be empty awareness, but only this lifetime to be the human that you are. Ever wondered why you don't have access to other minds? Wonder how and why privacy exists? I know, poking right at that solipsistic belief. You have to fully be the human to transcend it. Don't deny the human. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

wooohooo! no traps from me Hey she talks about Razard's ego, I vibe with that chick!

.. its also not a "low state of consciousness" "i" is both the 0 and the 1, both the dot and the line, so if I say I'm the 0 I am right, if I say I'm the 1 I'm also right. I wont stop being the other if I choose one to focus on. The Truth has no opposites, so being a Human should not be viewed as some delusion and a bad word. Everyone here should be proud of being a human in the great story of Life.

Huh. We gettin high today? You cant find Love without drugs tho? its hard right?

"It is I who am the light (of consciousness) over all. It is I who am the entirety: it is from me that the entirety has come, and to me that the entirety goes. Split a piece of wood: I am there. Lift a stone, and you will find me there." (Gospel of Thomas, 77) My addition in italic. The I can also be changed with O, because that self is a non-egoic, non-personal, no-self. "It is O who is the light (of consciousness) over all. It is O who is the entirety: it is from O that the entirety has come, and to O that the entirety goes. Split a piece of wood: O is there. Lift a stone, and you will find O there."

There is no one to wake up, how hard is it to get. You cant be detatched from the Absolute. You are finding a problem, some imaginary dream state that doesnt exist. Who told you what my reality is? I already mentioned, if you see reality as a dream, then you might be suffering from depersonalisation disorder. He already mentioned he doesn't consider himself a human. How about embracing being a person, "the dark side". Balance between the light and darkness must be achieved, not just Light. Don't think you've solved it all.

The Balance Within --- As Anakin Skywalker and Darth Maul continued their journey to rewrite destiny, they found themselves drawn to the ancient Jedi archives on the planet of Ossus. Here, amidst towering spires and lush forests, they sought knowledge that could unlock the secrets of the Force and pave the way for a new future. Within the archives, they discovered ancient texts and holocrons that spoke of the balance between light and dark, a concept that had long eluded both Jedi and Sith alike. As they delved deeper, they began to understand that true mastery of the Force lay not in the rejection of one's emotions, but in their acceptance and transcendence. Anakin poured over the texts with a fervor born of desperation, seeking a path that would allow him to harness the power of the Force without succumbing to its darker temptations. Maul, too, found himself intrigued by the revelations contained within the archives, his thirst for knowledge outweighing his allegiance to the dark side. Together, they studied ancient techniques and meditative practices, honing their abilities and forging a bond that transcended the boundaries of master and apprentice. As they trained, they found themselves growing closer, united in their shared struggle against fate. But even as they delved deeper into the mysteries of the Force, they could not escape the looming specter of the prophecy. It hung over them like a dark cloud, a constant reminder of the impossible task they faced. "We cannot ignore the prophecy, Maul," Anakin said, his voice heavy with resignation. "No matter how hard we try, it always looms over us, threatening to consume everything we've fought for." Maul nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon. "Perhaps... perhaps the prophecy is not something to be defied, but something to be embraced. Perhaps our destiny lies not in changing the future, but in fulfilling it in a way that we never thought possible." Anakin furrowed his brow, considering Maul's words. "You mean... to become Vader, but not as the dark lord the prophecy foretells?" Maul nodded. "To embrace the darkness within us, but to wield it in service of the light. To find balance, not in the rejection of one's emotions, but in their integration into who we are." As they stood beneath the towering spires of the Jedi archives, Anakin and Maul realized that their journey had only just begun. The path to redemption was long and arduous, but together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their quest to defy destiny and forge a new future for themselves and the galaxy.

Directed by me, written by ChatGPT The Prophecy Revealed -- As Darth Maul stood before Anakin Skywalker, his crimson gaze burning with an unusual intensity, he knew that their confrontation would shape the fate of the galaxy. But instead of igniting his lightsaber, Maul extended a hand, offering a holocron to Anakin. "What is this?" Anakin asked, eyeing the ancient artifact warily. "It holds the key to your destiny, Skywalker," Maul replied, his voice tinged with an unexpected solemnity. "It is the prophecy of your fall to the dark side, the birth of Vader." Anakin's brow furrowed as he accepted the holocron, activating its holographic projection. The image that materialized before them sent a chill down his spine – it was him, clad in black armor, wreathed in the dark side's malevolence. "This... this can't be true," Anakin murmured, his heart heavy with dread. "I cannot become that." "But you will," Maul insisted, his tone grave. "The Force has foreseen it, and try as we might, we cannot defy destiny. However, together, perhaps we can change it." Anakin's eyes narrowed in determination as he turned to face Maul. "How?" Maul paced back and forth, his mind racing with possibilities. "The prophecy speaks of your fear, your anger, your attachment. To prevent your fall, you must confront these emotions, master them, transcend them." Anakin nodded thoughtfully, absorbing Maul's words. "But how do I do that? How do I let go of everything I've ever known?" "It will not be easy, Skywalker," Maul cautioned. "But the light side is strong within you. You must embrace it fully, trust in its guidance, and let go of your fear. Only then can you rewrite the future." Together, Anakin and Maul embarked on a journey unlike any other, delving into the depths of the Force, confronting their deepest fears, and challenging the very fabric of destiny itself. Along the way, they faced trials and tribulations, tempted by the seductive allure of the dark side, but ultimately, they remained steadfast in their pursuit of redemption. As they stood on the precipice of uncertainty, the galaxy held its breath, unaware of the monumental struggle unfolding in the shadows. But for Anakin Skywalker and Darth Maul, the battle was far from over. It was a battle against fate itself, a battle to defy the prophecy and forge a new path forward, guided by the light side's unwavering beacon of hope.

Its not though, its not empty words, the words point to something, we give meaning to words, they are not just random letters, sounds or pixels that arise from nothing. I've mentioned this before, what Razard talks about is clearly consciousness/awareness. I have no problem with what his words point to, but his style is so aggressive that it puts me off completely. And his signature is arrogant with the final "all problems solved". I have to repeat myself, its one thing knowing the truth, it's a whole other thing teaching it. The skills required to be a football player are not the same required to be a coach. Clearly I am what I am. I am in the perfect position to explore my own self. What Razard is trying to do is take over other people's journey. If I dont agree with him, I am not awareness anymore? Ridiculous! Its a case of not being interested in the truth, but interested in being right itself. Using the truth to appear right and make another wrong. Thats not what loving awareness does, thats ego. Instead of words he thinks solve everything, why not prescribe a meditation practice or ways to bask in awareness? You guys need NoMind

It cannot be separated, but privacy is a basic human right, it cant be achieved with a Hive Collective Mind. Can you hold 2 paradoxical ideas as true at the same time? Normal people would thing that if one is right then the other is wrong, I like to hold both as true. Separation is needed for basic human life and privacy in one's own bubble. If you imagine life is Sims 5000, you want to be a sim with privacy.

What about offering your service to the system, bringing presence into everyday life situation and making the world better place? Living in a cave or meditating 12h per day with money stashed seems like a selfish thing to do, trying to escape the noise, not being able to notice the silence in the midst of it.

Your heart knows what your mind will never be able to, no matter how enlightened you think your mind is, listen to your heart instead. You say everything is one, I say everything is zero. Whats up with that? If someone disagree with you its mind games, come on! Someone can be living the truth and not be able to explain it in academic setting. Its not a truth about crushing others in an argument. A scholar can talk and talk for days about what an orange tastes like, but its about tasting it to trully know, no words can describe it properly.

@Razard86 You shouldn't start with "What you dont understand" its really offputting. I treat our conversations about teuth like a math problem. We should both be open to new information from the other and it doesn't mean accepting it as true. I cant accept what you say as true, but I can keep it at the back of my mind as Mu. I agree what you talk about might be a subjective truth, that means it can be both true and false at the same time, so to me its not the Truth I "seek", and you shouldnt insist everyone to agree with you about subjective truths.

If you dont use memory of past experience, is what you're saying true? I would accept only evidence if you can prove right now you can see through my eyes as you claim is possible. I am not interested in truths that are not in the present moment. You can have crazy experiences, if you attach to them and add them to self, you're going in the wrong direction, imo.

@Razard86 sorry I edited reply, please respond to second part. Btw pls blast me with less words and maybe shorten your signature it really is an essay! Im just asking no judgement

After all that break, we resume normal service? I think we need to be less edgy with truth, you can't just tell me these things without giving me evidence. You're saying there is a me to go look from her eyes... my guess is you are still attached to a subtle form as yourself, like a soul/spirit I, forgetting the basic truth of no self. Consciousness is not a self. My sense of self is not consciousness, most you can say its a product of consciousness.

I felt it was rather enlightening. What remained once all the content was gone? Non of the words on this forum will survive, no matter how true or false. Only the silence will remain.

Its just an expression, they feel themselves from inside out. They are merged with themselves from inside out. Sight or no sight. They will know you by touch from outside in or as sound from outside in. If you exclude all senses, then we have deep sleep state, no you and no other. No time either, you wont be bored or lonely/alone in such a state, just like you're not bored/lonely/alone in deep sleep. You know Princess Arabia better than I can ever know her, you are merged with her to the point you are her completely from inside out. You know what you feel, I don't. Suppose I hurt you, I won't feel your pain, but you will feel it. I can intuitively know you feel real pain, just like I would. Putting yourself in another person's shoes is important ability to be able to balance polarities and achieve equilibrium for the highest good, not for our own egoic good. What is good for me (absolute hedonism) might affect others negatively, and this must be balanced.

Life is afraid of Death Death is afraid of Life

Im not speaking for him, but I'd say the human that I am has same reality as a tree or a wall or another person that is perceived by it. Its just i see it differently, because I know it from inside out and not from outside in. Like you, Princess Arabia, I know from outside in, but I can intuit there is a far better angle to know you, the one you have from inside out. Much better position to know Princess Arabia and be her.

Yes ofcourse i will separate the poison from the milk. Thats a good thing, not a problem! Yall giving machine guns to untrained monkeys and expect to be no chaos? Lol. One has to know how to quiet the mind.... some people should do anything but listen to what their minds say! Then you tell them Mind is God. Wow, just wow, its clear attempt by ego to take charge.

You just like to break walls, right? Hang on, is that you? Ps: I'm Spiderman

@abrakamowse is milk mixed with poison something good? He talks about the pure "milk" he experienced as himself, then mixes it with his egoic "poison" and presents it to the public. You see that he's describing milk, but its harder if not impossible to spot the poison. Separate the poison from the milk, can only be done with awareness. Some people just drink the whole thing as its served, because it looks just like milk from initial glance.

Why is he calling it mind? Why?? Mind IS form. He should be pointing with a different signpost. Consciousness, The Now are much better pointers. Mind is creation. I have a problem with that. Everything he says apart from that shows he is talking about consciousness, not Mind. Its not One Mind, its One Consciousness. Its one thing being a good footballer, another to be a football coach. The guy on reddit is not ready to teach what he found and his pointings might mislead people. He says he is not speaking from arrogance, but he is. He does say no ego death needed, guy skipped that important step and then spreads his ego all over reddit. Nice
