Did he lie about sitting in samadhi for 13 days straight in public?

I get strong transmission from him. I'm sure other people can confirm this.

@r0ckyreed You've been needlessly confrontational and evasive and stirring up confusion.

No please enlighten me. I still don't see it.

Duplicate thread

I'm sorry, I added it, but you were too quick. I selected the last part of the original quote in OP's post for brevity's sake. Are you insinuating that the first part is contradicting the last part?

"You are not your body-mind. You are infinite consciousness imagining body-minds. Infinite consciousness is alone, because there is nothing outside of infinity." Find me the "subtle sense of other" in this quote.

Pick one?

Endless potential memes

OMG WTF

Inference is essentially abstract thought, which is something your mind does. Like you said, you had to think it i.e. infer it using your mind. Without mind activity, without inferences, there is no time or space.

Where are you stuck in life?

You could say that the world of form has a spacial quality to it, but void (formlessness) doesn't.

You should ask our ex- prime minister. She has dyslexia.

I knew you might say that. I'm saying that is also not the case. It's in the same ballpark as inferring the existence of matter, but it's just a much trickier inference to spot because one makes it so often. Most people don't have a good reference point to notice this. One such reference point is a state of samadhi (void) where body and mind dissolves (sensory phenomena and thought activity ceases), and not coincidentally, space and time also dissolves, something which I've verified in my experience. Space and time only makes sense when you experience a body that feels and a mind that thinks.

Meditation bro ;D

Space and time are also inferences.

I don't understand why that distinction matters. If you're posing say the existence of something particular like matter, something which is indeed purely abstract with no qualities and is inaccessible to experience, are you not by definition posing the existence of something abstract and inaccessible to experience i.e. something behind the scenes?

I didn't do that. The intuition of something behind the scenes is an inference based on a certain regularity of what is happening live on the scenes. Making inferences is one type of conceptual scheme, but communication is another. Communicating the primacy of experience (a non-inference) doesn't make it equal to an inference by the mere fact of communicating it.

"Behind the scenes" is a conceptual construct happening live on the scene.

@Husseinisdoingfine This is exactly why teachers like Rupert Spira reject solipsism, because people misunderstand it. It's generally a really bad pointer. It's also so ridiculously ironic that people have lately started shitting on the lessons of Neo-Advaita, because it's exactly what is needed to not misunderstand absolute solipsism. You are not your body-mind. You are infinite consciousness imagining body-minds. Infinite consciousness is alone, because there is nothing outside of infinity.

Live like a pig.

What do you mean?

He is a professor in political science.

Please don't make Neo-Advaita into a naughty word. It's as fundamental as self-actualization.
