What is God?

I've used that approach for quite a long time.

I realized it was limiting my Awakenings and God Realizations

That tool is just one approach in Infinity

Let go of it

There's more

Sustained effort ends in effortless being - in other words, what has been attained by constant practice is finally transcended, and then spontaneity comes.

~ Sri Anandamayi Ma
 

Lately I have God Aware moments, that come like a refreshing breeze, but not always. Whatever God does, I assume its for my best. I exert my individual will for higher Consciousness and I leave the rest to God. Till me and God are no more, till me and God are one forever.

So then as far as I can interpret what You said above, there are various states of Realization, sometimes Your God Realized, sometimes not, that indicates that individual Consciousness exists, as I do not know on a moment to moment basis what state of Consciousness Your in, and it fluctuates, that is all I am saying as well, sometimes we have it, sometimes not, the goal is to make it a permanent State of Experience...one can do this in many ways, we have to choose for ourselves what way works best for Us...

@Ishanga There are Infinite states of consciousness. Yes.

I wouldn't say its my primary goal, nor I think I would survive in a Godly state, why keeping this human form then?

Well it depends on what You want to do, maybe Your in a God Realization and want to stay here and play (Leela), or maybe dissolve this body and mind and go on to other dimensions or just merge with Absolute, that is the choice I would guess...

It's very hard to survive in a God like state. See how many biased decisions you have to take to survive. If cancer comes to the body, why does this body have more right to survive than the cancer? Same with food, water, cleaning, all the myriad of tasks to keep your human form alive; they all become unbiased and truthfull. Such ruthless position against survival can end up in the dissolution of your human form. That's what I meant, not going to other dimensions, although why not exploring the infinite dreaming machine?

I've had trouble surviving in God Mode, maybe this changes in the future. I'm always evolving and Awakening, for the moment I find it quite a challenging possibility.

What is enlightenment?

When I think about enlightenment, I think about accessing a radical form of intelligence that goes far beyond human thinking and processing information. God's intelligence is alien to the human form of intelligence. This goes far beyond just realizing we are part of God. 

The universe is so mysterious, and most of it is unknown to us. We don’t know much about it or its mechanisms, and we don’t understand the intelligence behind it as much as God does.
 

We cannot understand it because we are trapped in a human mind. We can access glimpses of it through spiritual practice and integrate it into our lives if the ego does not sabotage it by deluding ourselves into thinking we already know it all, or by our brains oriantation to maintain our human form, aka survival.

The funny thing about the God-realized and “Truth” realized folks in this forum is that they are “God realized” but act like horny and egoic chimpanzees. They think they can sweep their true level of awakening under the rug with nice, cool words that they mainly parrot from Leo’s videos. I am sorry to break it down to you, but there are so many things you don’t know.

I love to see how they put on their spiritual mask when they are on the spiritual forum and drop it when they are on other forums, talking to other, usually white, men who they identify with as part of their group while show dislike or indifference to other groups like women, animals and other ethnic groups that are not theirs, or people who hold different political opinions that are not theirs. 

Yes, that's exactly how spirituality works.

You got it!

I thought you said it's possible to know and understand everything because you are god. So you can get access to total understanding.

It’s not possible because the Universe put those constraints on human brain. Thinking you can understand reality totally is like saying you can be unconditionally happy. This is foolish. The Universe is so profound that it cannot be understood. How do you think you can understand God/Universe if one cannot understand a basic calculus and a single grain of sand?

The Universe is infinite and human perception is 3D. There is no way.

God can not and never will be all knowing it’s impossible

It is if you have enough consciousness. But humans never have enough consciousness.

So you never can fully understand even with psychedelics like 5 meos?

Can you at least understand what others are?  Or is this also too compex and paradox for a human mind to understand, even under influence of psychedelics, leaving one with true not knowing and wonder.

Hahaha. Laughed at this out loud. 
 

That’s the conundrum though, someone can know they are God and still act like a dick. That’s where I think psychedelics particularly can be problematic. 
 

Maybe we have different definitions of enlightenment. To me, it’s just knowing your true nature and not identifying with anything. Knowing that you are not inside the body but the body is inside of you. 
 

The problem with spiritual parroting is that these are universal truths so parroting and sounding the same is inevitable. 
 

There are only so many ways to say “Holy fuck! I’m fucking GOD!” 
 

I def agree with you on the depth of mystery and unknown though. It’s a huge

mystery

I understood enough.

I have no idea what you will understand.

Why not be open to the possibility that you can?

being a human being is an existential disorder known as misidentifying oneself

god in its loving wisdom moves heaven and earth to set right the ship (without violating sovereignty)

but boys and girls just want to have fun
