Hey thats very interesting! I was in a psych ward this year because I went on a fast, didnt sleep etc and had activated my light body and then I stopped one guy from what I thought was going to be the rape of one little girl. I got chased by one black guy after that, I was not supposed to interfere with human endeavours in that state, it felt more universal. But after doing what i thought was right in my heart, I got chased and later caught by "police" who placed handcuffs on me (that hurt like hell) and sent me to the psych ward after I started talking to them about dimensions etc.. In the psych ward I was in all sort of different places and magic was happening, things that are impossible.. Some characters there were talking t me as if I am Jesus and I had t do something but I didn't know what and how.. I never claimed to be Jesus and don't claim it now, but they still put me in psych ward for appearantly doing Jesus like thing.. This leads me to believe that these psych ward treatments could be the result of the dark forces trying to confuse and impede the light. I don't think you're crazy, because I am not crazy and I've had the same experience. Not religious here.

If everyone reads and follows what I've attached below to the best of their ability, we would have a utopian society. The old testiment is the way of law, it is the old way, and much needed to have enough disciplibe to reach the next stage. The new testiment is the way of grace, of love. It is not about following a written law, it's about shaping a person to be the best version of themselves they can be- for the greater good of all.. Many mix up the old and new testiment and think its the same stuff, its the bible... It is not, the old testiment was not written for this era, but many didn't get the memo. There's one way to teach monkeys and another way to teach more evolved monkeys. I would not be calling Christians or any other religous person an idiot, they found something that works for them and you have no way of knowing whether its better than psychedelics or not for the greater good.

There is a mystical section of Christianity that has many examples I am sure, but one side effect of being selfless is that you wont be on the news shouting about it!

The scenary! The journey!

But dont you need to taste a fruit to know it? You could have planted the seed and the apple grew from it, but do you know the apple just because you created it? Do you know and get its qualities, taste and value just because you planted the seed? Its the same as saying you don't need psychedelics because you created them all. Maybe there are tools other than psychedelics that man can use for connection and union with the divine.

You are already a miracle. About special powers, you need to turn to Spirit to guide you. It might not be relevant to you to perform miracles, but I do believe all of us have healing powers that activate through the feeling of Gratitude. What I do is place my hands on the chakra center I wish to perform healing to and feel true gratitude about everything. I don't know if it works, but I learnt it from one reiki master. Ps: you can check what Spirit wants to tell you by taking the Bible and opening on a random page after asking a question or ask for guidance. It has given me messages before and keeps showing me relevant things about my attachment to money and desire for power, which I need to work on.

You are love now, not in time! Considering we are talking about spiritual love / being itself and not romantic love / good feeling feelings, then it is not something that is experienced, it is the bubble of consciousness within which every experience that happens happens and it is here when you are sad and happy the same - unconditional true love. It is definitely not something that happens in time, what happens in time is only a fruit of that love, not the love. The Love never leaves the here and now. You cant have known the love in the past, because it is always here and now and never in time

One imaginary character telling another imaginary character that a third character is imaginary! That's like saying his mother is imaginary. Sure it might be true absolutely, but relative to him, those entities are real, including Leo - thats why he listens to you. Tell him you are also imaginary

Notice what you say is wrong! You can indeed become aware within a dream that you're dreaming - its called lucid dreaming. It is exactly because the logical part of your mind is sleeping that you dont immediately realise its a dream when something weird happens, but there ar many ways /techbiques to gain lucidity within a dream and once you do so, you have absolute freedom and you can do all sort of magic like flying and whatever else you want. Now if we bring this to waking reality, maybe it is harder to become lucid in, cause I cant remember last time I saw someone fly, let alone myself! Notice that what you told me to notice is not factual, but your belief based on having limited experience with dreams, what is possible and why. I've read a spiritual book about dreama and reality, it was the first spiritual book I ever picked up 5 years ago, its my main game.

I am aware that it is the same me that is Knowing a dream at night and waking reality, so both of these can be seen as states happening to me, awareness, and from this pov, reality is neither of them, but the one who knows them. However, we are here to talk about why in the waking state there appears to be much more continuity, more logic and meaning, consequences and much less of an ability to change things as you wish at the snap of a finger... It requires a lot more effort to do something in waking reality for example when in dream reality you can just wish it into existence right there and then. It is intuitively seen that there are forces other than my imagination at play in waking reality, simply by examining my experience. Next time you dream, try to read something. In dreams the logical side of your mind is asleep and so you don't vibe with things like reading and chess for example. I have playes countless chess games and I am yet to dream anything related to it, simply because it is so logical. In theory, your comments are very profound and nondual. In practice, you wouldn't jump off a cliff due to not believing in the reality of time, as you will be afraid of pain. As Johnny Cash famously sings "pain, the only thing that's real"

Chair is not a chair fundamentally yes. It needs a human observer to give it that meaning, I am aware of this. You can dream the possibility you can or cant jump and fly, but riddle me why every time I ask you to jump in waking reality you will not fly - and how do I know this - its not my belief, its my knowing that says his. The present moment, as looked at from point of view of event such as "Jumping of a cliff" does not exist. If you have to talk about an event such as jumping, you are already talking about an event that requires time to happen. Present moment stuff are only useful for self-practice not for general discussion about difference between reality and imagination. it is not my imagination that if you jump you will fall, it is a fact of waking reality. In dreams I have jumped off 6th floor and started flying, cant do that in waking - I am sure. I can test with less scary situation to prove it. "The fabric of imagination is identical phenomenally to the fabric of reality. That is.. You can't distinguish a dream from the "real world". " I can and I do, that's how I am able to wake up within a dream and know I'm dreaming while its happening and then do whatever the heck I want! I don't do these things in real life, for sure! Like jumping into the bushes to check how the dream reality will respond... No sir... I believe you are confused because I can't understand your point of view - for me its very easy to distinguish reality and imagination - while also having the intuition that imagination is at the root of reality.

really like this description, very short and concise, I might not need an entire podcast, just contemplate these words

said like a true masochist

realness=consequences of actions, realness = pain/pleasure duality, realness = imagination + logic. Dreams at night = imagination free of logic.. But realness still has imagination as its root. Realness definitely though has different feel than imagination - for example in imagination you can jump off a cliff and fly, in realness you fall and fking die - you see the difference Thats the logic factor at work. You cant fly without the necessary equipment/wings... While in pure imagination you sure can

Self enquiry is a practice used to cut at the root of the egomind - to find the unreality of the I thought, which in turn is mixed up with every other thought that appears - every other egoic thought is related to that "I". By tackling the root, all the leaves and branches might continue to exist further, but not for long, exactly as if you cut the root of a real plant - so initially might appear you're doing nothing big, because every leaf remains the same for a long time until it withers due to lack of sustenance. Cutting down the "I" thought is not a destructive process however, because it really is not real to begin with - so to destroy it you don't need to kill it, but rather just see that it is not real and then it falls by itself if not reinforced further. Like a branch that looks like a snake, what you need to do to destroy the snake is not to kill it, but to see its reality as a branch, it was never a snake. The methods of self inquiry have been mentioned in the thread but if you want more clarification I can post more

100% imaginary, made to look realistic and structured by the dance of numbers

*insert "who is talking" type question here*

I have a friend like that, you were giving an exact description He always manages to tell me why I did something or didnt do it! I call him friend though he is actually a little bit back-stabby and double faced sometimes. On the comment below this you continue to nail the definition of that friend I have. O m g, I need to read this to him, cause he gets on my nerves often. But I look at it as a spiritual practice of my patience and reducing my ego...

@tatsumaru check out the guy on youtube who coded the mandelbrot set to play sounds based on where you zoom in and click, it is a great way to merge maths and sound. But also many famous classical musicians use maths in their compositions to create the harmony you mention. I am not really into physics, but I am more on the maths side and i am not subscribed to matter as being "stuff" but rather "vibe" so its actually a lot like you say- sound. In the bible they say: in the beginning was the word and then there was light - it begins with Sound before light. Yet another clue right there, maybe it is fundamental!

Great stuff to contemplate here, that music theory is right up my alley because I have a memory of being a symphony before getting caught to incarnate here on Earth. I need to look into it, please suggest something good if you have resources. Ive had something I would call a spiritual experience which happened after I had a natural fast and no need of sleeo at one point during lockdown. It was inspired by something greater than me and the overall theme was True Love and proving it somehow. I am still confused about the experience which spanned over many days even weeks where I was seeing and hearing things from beyond and was guided by what I call "spirit of true love" and ended up meeting with a satanist and one muslim woman who whispered to me to find the truth in the Quran and had many magical experiences that are impossible - both positive and negative ones. At one point I was taken by a bunch of men for example and one started tickling me like the demons in my dreams as a child. So I know the devil might have been playing some magic tricks on me to confuse and perhaps test me somehow. At one point there were characters there who thought I was Jesus and were disappointed i couldn't do anything in one situation.. I was scared.. Then there was one womanly figure that healed some bruises on my arm after I cried to her... It was instant healing.. I have not really transformed from the experience as I went right back to my ego shell, went back to same addictions and routines because I didn't really want to experience this craziness again..

Your fears and desires can be shown in dreams in many various scenarios. I often wonder who is the producer of such dreams because they seem to often be very educational and we don't really know what follows (if we created it, we would know it before we dream it, kind of the same like thoughts) So I think your subconscious is just giving you different scenarios you don't like some times and I think this is used to teach you on different levels.. On one level it might want to teach you how to act in such situations.. Like in the past when people were hunter gatherers they wouldn't dream police, they would dream a tiger attacking them... Then they are alert and do what is needed to prevent it happen in reality. The second thing such dreams teach you is that tho the character in the dream may seem in big trouble and you are totally identified as that character during the dream, when the dream ends you realise it only appeared that you are that character and wonder what was all the fuss about, if only you realised you weren't the character you would've had a great time, but it wasnt that easy or obvious to get that realisation! It was an illusion, but if someone points it out inside your dream you'd think they are mad! Cause here you are, caught by police and they are making you do pushups! Ofcourse its you haha! We can consider that the same is happening right now to our waking reality, just on a higher level. God's dream and we are God identified as the characters in the dream, while the dream lasts.. So nothing really that happens is so final and dramatic as it would be if you really were the character.

Try fasting, praying, running, no sleeping.. Activate your own dmt juice within., But it might not always be pleasant as the devil can also take you for a ride. Beware and discern

Why it Seems Like My Consciousness is In My Body question ❓ I will take the title as a question and answer it to my current understanding. Consciousness is initially not really defined, its rather an experiential reality, the packaging of experiences, not something we can point as an object but ofcourse it's the subject to all experiences... We assume we are an object and objects of experience are localised in the body, so we might say we are there, but when we realise we are the awareness, we notice that body and thoughts all happen within awareness so awareness is prior

If God wants to reveal itself to Dolphins, he will probably take on dolphin form, the human Jesus would not do anything for the dolphins, it is aimed at human development and love-o-lution. Different symbols are needed to communicate and guide, but always it is important to not put any idol or avatar before God itself and this is spoken of in the Bible

The idea of Jesus as an idol comes because it is widely accepted that he was some sort of a more awakened avatar of God/divine/unknowable and a powerhouse when it comes to goodness of character. Like a great example and something to strive for/aim for on a personal level. There must be something more special about that avatar for us to have completely changed everything and even start counting the years from His birth. It would not be 21st century without Christ, reality would be so different even for these small details. But ofcourse people worship Jesus because they believe he is God incarnate, but he taught that everyone has this connection to God and was crucified for it. Kind of a tragic story
