If God is again experiencing all of Infinity, why would it come back to limited?

7 posts in this topic

'Physical' death is permanent reunification / one with everything / God.

Satori / Awakening is temporary reunification / one with everything / God.

Something I can't wrap my mind around, why if God reunifies with itself through Awakening, back to being One, why would it come back to the same body again? 

If God is again experiencing all of Infinity, would it even remember a limited tiny bubble of a persons experience? It would make more sense that once that limited perspective is dissolved into Infinity, that would be it, that limited perspective would be no more. 

Why is physical death permanent reunification, and Awakening temporary? Aren't they supposed to be the same? Being unified with infinity should be it, no difference.

Why is it not possible to come back to the same limited perspective/life after physical death, just like an Awakening death?

Because there is no difference.

There is nowhere to go. Everywhere is equally good and equally nowhere.

The mistake you're making is that you have a bias towards one thing or another. You think being infinite is better than being finite, but that's a bias! God doesn't have any biases so it is happy to become all things.

From God's POV, becoming an ant is just as good as becoming Albert Einstein or Jesus or Hitler.

Because God is all those things.

When you are conscious that you are everything, you don't mind being everything.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

You cannot not be unified with Infinity.

There is no 'back' to come back to. No matter how convincing the apparent might be.

Why you are here; only you know.

It is your will.

This statement goes against most everything Leo has taught IMO. In a lot of his teachings he talks about separation and unification.

I mean, I know language can be limited. I know infinity is happening now. But as a limited perspective I am not aware of it.

I get that, and accept that. My question is more about how one comes back to their body after a full blown Awakening, verses not coming back if one shoots themselves in the head. How in an Awakening full unification with God would it want to come back to the limited body perspective, but with physical death it cannot?  If one shoots themselves in the head, can God once unified reimagine the same body perspective like it never happened?

So what? And how so?

I am not a hard-core follower of Leo's work. I just like this forum. I use it as a tool for self-reflection. It's fun.

Language is doing its job. It's not in the way. I understand you might be experiencing yourself as just a limited perspective. And that's not an issue, either. 

You are Infinity by being exactly the way you are right now. Not by what you think Infinity should be or look like. All you can be aware of is your own presence of being.

I guess that's where reincarnation beliefs are helpful.

Let's say reincarnation is true. There is no actual difference between a temporary reunification and a permanent one. The only difference would be the body consciousness would be occupying the moment it comes out of unity.
