GOD Is Infinite Self-Deception.

@Rafael Thundercat sense of self isn't gone you still love the people you love and meet the people you know in your dream.

Perhaps trying to empty ourselves of… ourselves was never the right approach to begin with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

It’s also interesting you mention yet another mental layer. If reality is infinite, then surely the amount of mental layers are also infinite. 

It’s kinda like if you wash your hands and convince yourself that they’re 100% clean, yet as soon as you touch something they’re gonna not be 100% clean again. So is the solution to keep washing your hands every time you touch something? I’d hope not.

I’m just trying the “empty “the undesirable parts of myself ??

but yea I thought about it recently how Leo says all the time infinite mind and for me that was very abstract not really relatable but now that this keeps unfolding for me it does speak to something in my experience 

 

nice analogy

I would also say God is infinite self observation.

That’s precisely the problem. I’m starting to realize that getting rid of undesirable parts of reality is a serious trap.

Confronting uncomfortable truths about yourself is critical; it’s not going to be pretty whatsoever. But what’s the alternative? Spending the next 30 years living with delusions?

That is quite a leap of faith from one thought to another that you just did there. But yeah sure, that is what this place claims to be doing atleast. 

Thoughts are not a problem. It’s actually the suppression of thoughts that is.

Those undesirable parts also are a lot of the time enhanced by or are even purely our own mind. At least how it has seemed for me. So we’re having a problem with our own mind not even the thing itself lowkey ??

The mind and the thing itself are interconnected.

(Suppression of emotions) may cause problem.

Thoughts on the otherhand are usually a never ending stream for the absolute majority. So we got plenty of thoughts already.
