Life = Self delusion

[Aakash]

seriously enlightenment solves none of my problems. What the fuck. 

it solved all my metaphysical questions, like what is god? 

but none of my illusory problems!!!!!!!! 

What the actual fuck  

all these gurus promising things that aren't real.

This stabilizing process is highly ignored in many spiritual circles and thus we get neo advatins and newer versions of new age fads every year.

I don’t know what neo advatins or new age is, but Fosho..Stability process is the foundation.

you are aware the whole time 

the context in which you are interpreting varies because of illusion. 

but you aren't not conscious one moment and then conscious another moment 

you are always conscious and thats your true self, just the fact you are always conscious 

but its just clouded with thoughts and beliefs

the appearance of a loss of consciousness because you go to sleep 

your waking state and your sleeping state is a distinction you have created 

but in reality you are aware/conscious for 24/7  

but that's not even true, in metaphysical sense 

you are aware for an enternity.

To clear doubts regarding questions like this, I recommend the book ''Happiness and art of being'' by Michael James.

Basically, don't you know that you slept well where you didn't know anything? How do you know that condition if 'you' weren't present and knowing during deep sleep?

What is your actual experience? Do you experience saturday's waking state and immediately Sunday's waking state back to back without any gap? Of course not! You are clearly aware of a 'gap' called deep sleep.

The reason we feel unconscious in deep sleep because we are so accustomed to knowing only objects with our mind. So when the mind and it's objective knowledge is absent during deep sleep, we mistakenly translate that experience of pure I AM as our non-existence or un-awareness.

What is it that knows this absence? 'Something' must be present and aware during deep sleep to know that absence, right?

Absolutely. Just seems otherwise because thought isn’t thingifying. 

In deep sleep we are more awake?

 Yep. That’s wassup. Never heard of Bhagavad Gita but I agree with that totally. I actually shared that realization with a friend of mine last week. He said I was out of my mind
