@Etagnwo You are trying to explain 2+2 of beginner nonduality to me.

No you Trust me. You have no idea where I was and how much I know about consciousness, the self and nonduality. And I don't mean intellectual knowledge. I have to speak on your language so you can understand me, Solipsism is often the product of nondual practices and psychedelics and may be destructive to ones psychology. This is why some nondual teachings and psychadelics are dangerous for some people and shouldn't be practiced.

Dude, be more humble and stop judging people when you clearly don't know their experience. There is no way you know what I have seen and what I understand. You have no idea how deep I was in the rabbit hole. You just popped in this forum and I have been practicing nonduality for years.

Solipsism is the fruit of delusional tree - the nonduality hypnosis.

I reached the very deep states of so called "Nonduality" and collapsing of separate self. But I am telling you,,, My eyes were open that these were delusions. Now it's up to you how you process this information. I am trying to wake you up. The choice is yours!

@Etagnwo You can not tell me anything new about nonduality and Solipsism. People don't understand here that I was very hardcore in these practices before I was saved by the personal God. My eyes were open how delusional all this nondual path is. It is circular deception. The more you practice it the more "True" it seems to you. And in the end you reach the point where you become a zombie without a choice and willpower. Whole your worldview is based on the fact that everything is one and noone exists therefore you have no willpower and choice. This is literally the path of death of the soul. You are destroying the soul and surrendering yourself to devil's deceptions.

God is infinite intelligence. God is personal. God has intelligently designed you. But when you say: “I am God” that’s ego’s desire to be special and godly. This is where the delusions of nonduality starts. God is you but you are not the God and this is the biggest paradox. You can never become the God. You can only be united with god after you leave the form. God is personal. He is alive. He has a plan for you and everything. He is infinitely intelligent. God thinks the reality into existence. God has created you with infinite potential and therefore free to choose. Free will is the foundation of your existence.

@Betterself Yes, you are alone. As God. Nonduality means there cannot be any "other" who is not you. The deepest levels of nonduality can make you start to feel lonely, as you realize that you created this entire dream all by yourself and the illusion of "otherness" gets shattered. It can feel very solipsistic, but also, as the mind adjusts to your new understanding, the loneliness should dissipate. I do not exist. You created this forum to entertain yourself. And here you are reading all these posts that you yourself wrote to yourself. Seeking advice from "others" who are really just yourself. Try to see the beauty of that. Aloneness and connection are ONE. You can look at it like the glass is half empty, or the glass is half full. By being everyone, you are infinitely connected to everyone. You still haven't surrendered fully to nonduality. Yes, it's very radical and scary to surrender fully to it. The truth is radical beyond words. Your fear of being totally alone is precisely what you must explore and ultimately surrender. The ego-mind hates it of course and will be resistant, trying to anchor itself into something, anything to avoid Absolute Nothingness and Total ONENESS.

@SoothedByRain Man she’s one trip from nonduality. Great shares! Thanks!

It's definitely a thing. We've had folks on this forum reporting natural tolerances, like you. And folks on Reddit report tolerance too. LSD is an awesome psychedelic. I find it second-best to 5-MeO. I've had really deep states of nonduality on just 125ug. You are missing out.

@MarkusSweden you can’t say anything new to me about nonduality really. I was on that path for 2 years and was very damn hardcore on it. My point here is not to be dogmatic fanatic but to seek out the personal God. God is not mechanical and lifeless as many nondual teachers like to draw it. God is not it’s creation. God is separate from its creation. God is transcendental and does not reside in forms...

Why does it matter what do I think about these? As I’ve said sin is just a choice to be away from the God. We should battle sin in us not the person himself. Noone is sinless except the god himself and he was crucified to forgive our sins. All that is “required” from you is to seek and praise the god. But even that is your choice. God does not force anyone to make a choice like there is in nondual understanding. In the nonduality there is no choice, there is no personality you literally become dead. Go that route if you really want to... I have been there and I don’t recommend it as it is delusion.

of course, Leo should look beyond his own interpretations of his experience, and beyond infinity infinity has no absolute, and has no ground. groundless and empty as Leo says. while true ground of all, true absolute, actual God of monotheism, Allah/Elohim/Christian God, True God transcends infinity itself thats the biggest mind twist, especially for nonduality folks and alive infinite intelligence that Leo tripped to, is not really a God of monotheism it is what Sufis call as Universal Being, or Universal Soul, or Self-unfolding Being or just big SELF also known as Adam Kadmon in Kabbala think about it, you just trip and arrive to godhead, who is actually just a bored intelligence with human qualities and its not even clear whether he is alive or dead. whether you can call him god or just a dead reality what kind of god is this? god with existential boredom? nothingness whatsoever? empty awareness field? infinite machine of infinite possibilities? is it god or is it some mechanic calculator? can you intuit that there are inconsistencies here brahman = atman. but brahman is not God that transcends infinity. brahman is the name for impersonal aspect of this reality, which is maybe dead maybe alive, maybe dream maybe real, maybe this maybe that, utter nonduality however pretty nondual picture only applies to this reality, but it fails when you recognise that your witnessing of the here and now, is not simply equal to reality but its rather pointing to absence of the real subject in the reality, it points to absence of actually real thing in this infinite reality. coz actually real and true is beyond this infinity. absolute truth is not infinity, or being, absolute truth totally transcends infinity, and you can't trip to it, in other words creator and creation are not in nondual bowl, they are not the same thing. absence of the real subject in this reality points to that real subject does not exist in this infinite reality, real subject transcends infinity so its not true to equate all old gods into the same god, all religions into all being about same thing, archaic paradigms of pantheism and monism to monotheism based on revelations, all mystical schools into the same thing, all notions into one undifferentiated bowl of oneness, and think that this undifferentiated bowl of maybe alive maybe dead reality is the absolute truth that people pray to? and consider as holy? praying to dead consciousness? to infinite machine with existential boredom? can you see that its not so simple my friends. but in the same time its all much more simple than we think it is, and 'deluded' religions who followed prophetic revelations understood it much better than us modern-time sages, not just conceptually but also experientially, because only messengers who had message from Absolute Truth could taught you how do you form relationship, binding (religare) with Absolute Truth, God. and your reliance upon your own techniques or own understanding can only take you to merging with brahman. do you really think that Jesus or Muhammad did what they did just so you can merge with dead brahman intuition can sense things that actual direct experience cannot. actually, intuition is more real than experience, or than perception. and ur intuition probably sense that something isn't correct about this, and your experience of god might probably been tricking your understanding of the map of the territory human-being is reflection or projection of this universal being (Adam kadmon), its an archetype of reality, thats why you are one with it, thats why Leo sense that he is it, and it is him. of course reality is infinite mirrors all referring to each other, thats why its all relative, because absolute is simply not in this reality true God is witness of this reality/infinity, but his essence is not here, he is not 'what is', his essence transcends 'what is'. God is what isn't, his absence in this reality actually points to him existing outside of this reality, when mystics say God is everything they confuse realisation of him witnessing everything with his actual essence being in everything, but we can't say that his essence is in this reality, coz its totally different from this infinite reality, Sufism had this debates between various schools and resolved this misunderstanding long time ago, Sufism has term called 'monotheism of witness', which means that being is all one, while Allah is witness of being, and actual essence of God transcends being our infinity and this infinite intelligence is probably like a tiny toy in his 'hands' maybe this whole thing of misunderstanding god is the obstacle towards your enlightenment. so Leo, I believe in you but I carefully follow Leo's growth, and it is very interesting to watch, because he brings lots of interesting stuff, even if I don't agree with him about God. coz without Leo i would still be studying all the things like nonduality that he studied for us, so without Leo i wouldn't come even close to anything, but now i wish to repay Leo, so that this maybe will boost his progress. he is great in investigating reality, but i hope there will be time when he will start to investigate about what can be outside of 'all there is'

I think it does not matter if egolea has found the real truth or experiencing a crazy ego backlash... he ist an old fellow, very experiences, smart and very valuable... why? If its ego backlash we can observe it and learn from the mistake, if there is something more in Jesus and.maybe something more to nonduality or something wrong we can work on this to... however i need to.tell younguys to accept egoless no.matter if he is totaly wrong and of the road or not... we have to stay totaly open, and openminded and observe his road... egoless, it is possible that youre now a little bit to much excited about your experience or Jesus influence... i think evan the bible has verses where it says d9nt preach on placea where youre not heard... come a bit down, relax, you dont need to prove christianity on this forum.at all causes and today, take it a bit slowely, conteplate it, go deeper to Jesus and still dont impose that hard what you think or belive right now... with much love to everyone, dont forget to stay friend and openminded to everything

It is true for me I can’t speak for everybody. But I know that it is the ultimate Truth just as some of you think the nonduality is the Truth. Have been there. It is self deception.

@blazed I have been stuck in your paradigm and I know your perspective. You don’t know mine though because you did not search for personal God. Such a huge shift between my perspectives would have been impossible without personal God. I was very hardcore into nonduality. You can watch other christian Testimonies as well if you are really curious on Youtube.

Like you might look at a photograph momentarily, and then resume your life, you’re looking at a life, shortly to resume your infinitude, which reveals you are the photograph and the life, and therefore neither ever were. It’s not that you forget the photograph, it’s that it never was. Yet, the photograph is the point of focus, when not being “photo’s”, you’re doing nothing - Being. We call this “life” & “death”. There’s the one, only from the other. Alive & dead are duality (ignorance). What is ignorant - Nothing is, on purpose. The obvious nature of Being, is to be, just being - being you. Nonduality is not paradigm, it’s Truth. Paradigms are made of thought (ignorance), a means to live the photos. The conceptualization of nonduality is duality because there is a false “conceiver” or “conceptualizer” at play, - it’s just a thought about nonduality, which perpetuates a false “thinker”. To prevent realization of nonduality, one has only to imagine “other”, even if that other is Jesus, or God - that is still nonacceptance of self, it’s still “twoness”, duality within. Taking the photos / lives seriously, is the funniest thing. What am I? Holy shit! I’m that! What is that doing? That is being the guy who says “What am I again?” Oh yeah, holy shit, I’m that! What’s that doing again? Oh yeah, this! Me! You can be anything. You can even be what wonders what you’re being. If it wasn’t amazing it’d be ordinary, and if it wasn’t ordinary it’d be amazing. But it’s just nondual.

I say neither of those. Not anymore when my eyes are open to the Truth of Jesus. I also see how deluded I was and am trying to help those who are lost and in need of escaping the nonduality black hole.

@blazed the biggest delusion of nonduality is the determinism and no free will. God has designed you in a way that you create and choose like he does. Therefore you are not God. You are creation of the God with love and intelligence. Jesus is the personal God. And yes I am born again christian. But I see lots of similarities between nonduality as it was my previous perspective. However there are some major delusions in nonduality as well. I am trying to raise awareness of these delusions and one among them is the ability to become god. That’s the biggest delusion.

@Rilles youre unhappy ?and you didnt make it, ?not one nondualist here did ,,make it"... its an infinite proces of growrh and work that never brings liberation or happines... but its personal development that gives us benefits... that what egoless claims that he has found is the goal of all of us... but i dont see it happening with nonduality... we just get more advanced in understanding our sufferung and getting wise and mindfull, some of us are getting more understanding, lovely, calm but not trully liberated, happy and fullfiled... it seams that egoless does, that the ,,Jesus path" can give you that... but maybe thats also a fanatic delusion and a kind of ,,triping" and blind beliving with strong pshylogical effects...soo egoless and his ego and person are not that much relevant as pure facts are... you follow nonduality and get into an infinite never ending and never arriving work of nothing (devils deception????) You follow Jesus and this is it... simply... we have to see it 4 our selfs... I have to, i dont know but im very much affected from those ,,new age (and nonduality) to christanity testiminials" like egoless has... sound kind of a truth...

Your questions lack the understanding of who Jesus is. You lack the understanding what it means that the god himself came into human being and was crucified for our sins. Human nature is sinful and Jesus is the savior of all of us. Losing Jesus is your choice. Jesus doesn’t punish anyone. It’s always your choice wether you live with or without the love of God. You are calling me a wall and expect me to answer your questions which I still did by the way. If Following nonduality made you such a disrespectful person towards human life maybe it’s time to challenge your worldview? P.S. As I have told you many times I have seen the both perspectives and I was in deep nondual practices. The Truth has been revealed to me after I made the first step towards Jesus.

while watching leo's part 2 of his retreat, he mentioned the absolute nonduality/singularity experience, and suddenly it clicked for me, i became conscious that everything is utterly meaningless. this is different from knowing intellectually that everything is meaningless, which i knew so far. I felt fear engulfing me a little, my heart beating, a lot of stuff from my life situation came to mind and i realized its utterly meaningless. I felt like I was losing control a little, but i surrendered to all the fear, let it go and it kinda passed. it was a fun experience in retrospect (i actually enjoyed the fear a little, masochistically lol, made me feel alive) and a bit of an insightful one, because I saw another example of the difference between knowing something intellectually and really getting it. I feel like maybe the effects of the kriya yoga are coming into play. ive been doing it for 2 months now, and sometimes I feel like everything is very still, and I feel kind of soft and flowing sensations in the back of my head that come with that stillness. I have an intuition that it makes me become more aware of my thoughts, emotions and feelings, and is making me able to "manipulate" consciousness in a subtle way (dunno how to explain it). I think that contributed to that realization.

Saying "Reality is virtual" is identical to saying "Reality is Nothing" or "Reality is an illusion" or "Reality is a hallucination" or "Reality is consciousness". Although I don't think Campbell actually realizes that it's not only virtual, but also infinite, and that time is NOT fundamental. I don't consider Campbell enlightened. Although his teachings are quite good. He's missing the final crowning insight of nonduality.

@Dino D forget the nonduality and follow what your heart says to you. Try at least for a month.

One who is empty doesn’t defend. I am not a nondualist. I am nothing. Nothing does not identify. I am not defending Nonduality, Christianity, as only an entity who identifies participates in such dualistic action. Truth can not be seeked. To seek truth is to push truth away.
