You're experiencing the absoluteness of consciousness. From that perspective, I'm not real. However, "persons" still exist in a relative sense. You are a person, I am a person, but ultimately we are one.

This is enlightenment. Ta-da. You have two possible outcomes: either you learn to live with these changes and keep on meditating as an enlightened person, or you stop meditating and pretend like you're not an enlightened person. I experienced what you're experiencing and I ended up doing the latter, but it's really painful and I don't recommend it.

He has always been saying that. That riff about materialism having no proof is a consistent part of his repertoire. Sam seems to concede that their disagreement is merely a semantic difference, but he still wants to use this convoluted materialist language and doesn't see the primacy of consciousness in establishing so-called 3rd person, intersubjective, empirical, scientific truths. He somehow wants to separate all that from consciousness, but it's impossible.

Anesthesia removes the "contents" of consciousness: sensations, perceptions, time, space, objects, concepts etc.. Those are all "changing" aspects of reality. Consciousness is unchanging. It cannot be moved/removed/changed. Again, normie tiny brain vs. big brain definition.

He is using the normie small brain definition of consciousness while Rupert is using the big brain chad definition of consciousness. This becomes very clear when they start talking about anesthesia.

You have to let go of your fear of insanity, unreality, death, non-existence.

OMFG WHAT

I'm Norwegian and I know about a Danish non-duality teacher . His name is Jan Esmann. He does shaktipat transmissions and stuff. He radiates Shakti when he speaks He also paints hyperrealistic oil paintings:

Meditate everyday and systematically eliminate your attachment-based thoughts. When you recognize a repetitive thought pattern, see if you can manually "let it go" (imagine yourself living without that thing and being OK with it). In order to let go effectively, you have to get in touch with your emotions. Sometimes that requires some additional techniques. I recommend manually releasing emotional tensions from your body. Scan your body for tensions (especially gut area) and see if you can relax it and surrender to any emotions that may arise.

I feel violated

So you're saying that the symbolic generalization of "gender", which is a result of a specific mammalian lineage of thousands of years of culture-specific linguistic development, is a self-evident property of the universe that exists anywhere at any time?

No that is called having an illusion of growth (you're kinda right though).

Accept the anticipation and the anticipation dissipates

Keep going! You almost got it!

I had a "Shit and Weed" phase 5 years ago. It's a phenomena I call "the Red/Green interrelation": Red or lack of Blue integration masquerading as surface level Green, common in teenagers. I believe it's the origin of the fad quote "If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

The two things you mentioned are not mutually exclusive. They're actually codependent. To self-actualize, you can't completely neglect your environment.

Weird flex but I remember I was one of the first kids in kindergarten who learned how to tie his shoelaces. I had to help my friends

Growth involves adapting to the environment.
