Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights

Imagine imagining a planet so precisely, so deeply, that a new planet appears in the sky. That is what a planet IS. That's how planets are actually made, not through science. Imagine an imagination so powerful that it creates physical planets. That's why it is called God. What do you call it when a mind is so powerful that it can create physical planets full of life out of nothing using pure Will and Imagination? Do you call that not-God? NO! You call it God, because God is the ability to will anything into existence.

Yes, God can and God does will planets into existence. However, this does not happen in the stupid way humans assume. God doesn't just randomly decide to invent a new planet for shits and giggles. It is all way more intelligent than that. God imagines precisely the planets that are seen in our universe. Not stupid magical fairy-tale planets, or ego-fueled planets, but actual planets like Mars, Venus, Saturn, etc. God imagines Mars so realistically that if you were to fly there, you would most likely die from radiation and cold alone. Stop picturing God's Imagination like some cartoon. God's Imagination is precisely as real as crash-landing on Mars and suffocating to death in the frigid cold. God will gladly imagine the blood in your veins freezing until your heart explodes. THAT is God's Imagination, not your human fantasies of what God's imagination should be like. God's Imagination is as stark, brutal, impersonal, ruthless, cold, and realistic as the surface of Mars. God's Imagination includes every grain of sand on Mars and its precise location. When God imagines a planet, it is not some wacky, loony dreamscape, it is Mars! Not an imaginary Mars, actual Mars.

How much more profound to walk on Mars when you understand that the surface of Mars is the surface of God's Mind? God doesn't contradict science, God makes all science a hundred times more profound. The existence of God means that all science is a spiritual experience — which is how it should be, and how it was in the past.

The key insight everyone's missing is that God's imagination is identical to Reality. It is as real as Reality feels. When a child's skull gets crushed in a car crash, that is REAL, which is precisely the power and majesty of God's Infinite Imagination. When something feels super, super REAL, that's the hallmark of God's Imagination. The human imagination does not feel REAL, it feels airy and vague. God's Imagination is as solid and clear as a dog biting your hand. It is not a difference in kind but a difference of degree. God's Imagination is a million times more powerful than a human's. If you take a human's imagination and scale it up by a factor of a million, you get the surface of Mars, you get a skull crushed in a car crash.

Remember a horrible day in your life that felt so real you wished it was a dream, and equate that REALNESS with God's Imagination. From now on, whenever you feel something is very REAL, remind yourself that that IS Imagination. Switch to the following paradigm: The more REAL a thing feels, the more Imaginary it is.

How's that for a paradigm shift?

If you want to test this out, take a toothpick and slowly poke it into your hand, and as you feel the pain increasing, keep reminding yourself that this IS God's Imagination.

Note: Do not injure yourself. Do it without drawing blood.

Another fragment from the book I am writing:

Your mind is constructing the notion of 'substance' in order to construct your sanity and sense of self. When you were born (so to speak), you invented the idea that objects are made out of substances. This is not a scientifically proven idea, but the ego doesn’t care. It is a very deep construction of the ego-mind in order for it to feel like a real human being. You don’t understand this yet, but in order to be human you had to assign a substance to yourself. In your mind, being human is a kind of 'substance' you think you are or have. You invented the idea that you are a physical object made of smaller physical objects. For that to work you had to invent the idea of physical objects. “But Leo! Look at this chair, that is a physical object!” No, a chair is not a physical object. You invented that. A chair is a non-physical figment of Consciousness. This is very different from a physical object. Or, if you are more religiously-inclined then you invented the substance called a 'soul' and you gave yourself a soul. This soul is as invented as a physical object. What is a soul made of anyway? The ego-mind doesn't know and doesn't care. All it needs is to use that empty concept as an anchor point to ground itself.

These are not just word games, you actually believe you are a physical object! As long as you believe that, you cannot Awaken nor realize God. In order to realize God you must undo all of the ego-mind's finite anchor points. "I am a biological creature made out of atoms" is one of many such anchor points. "I am a soul inside of a physical body" is another common one. All of these anchor points must be deconstructed. The more of them you deconstruct the deeper you will realize God. These anchor points keep your identity/mind/intellect finite.

The very notion that objects have finite discrete substances is a hallucination. Discreteness itself is imaginary. Being discrete is not absolute, yet all of science assumes it is. Your true identity is indiscrete.

Turn your skepticism towards questioning the notion of substance. What is substance? Where did this idea come from? Why do you take it so seriously? What if Reality is not made out of substances at all? What if you have no substance? This is the proper use of skepticism.

This probably won't make sense right now, but one day it will: If you have no substance, that means you are God.

Another way to put it: God's substance is everything/nothing simultaneously. God is a superposition of all imaginable substances, qualities, identities.

Osho, still wrong on God:

Sorry, but I cannot let this kind of misinformation just slide. This is a horribly misleading explanation of God and Awakening. All spiritual seekers need to be told that Awakening means only one thing: Realizing you are God. Anything else is misleading.

Telling people that there is no God, is wrong. If people have the wrong idea of God, then correct their wrong idea and give them the right idea. Do not tell them that the entire idea is wrong, because that's just not true. God is a valid, legit, true idea. It is just a bit corrupt and misunderstood.

A spiritual teacher's job is not to tell people that there is no God. A spiritual teacher's job is to inform people of what God truly is and how best to reach God.

Simply put, relativity means that you can draw an equally valid map of the Earth from any angle, not just with North as up or Britain at the center. A map of Earth is just as valid if it centers New Zealand with North at 49 degrees. But now extend this relativity to ontology/being itself. When scientists say that Reality is made of atoms, quarks, strings, or equations, this is as foolish as saying that the center of the Earth is Britain and North is up. Science does not yet understand that ontology is entirely relative.

"But Leo, if ontology is relative, doesn't that mean that when you say that reality is Consciousness/God then that's also relative?" No. Consciousness/God is not relative, it is absolute. The difference is that Consciousness/God is not like an atom, quark, string, equation. Those are all finite, relative things. Consciousness in not like that. Consciousness is not a thing at all! Consciousness is made out of every finite possibility. Consciousness is what makes ontology relative. So there is no performative contradiction here. It is absolutely the case that Consciousness is the only Reality, and this Consciousness is made out of literally Everything/Nothing. The Reality of Consciousness is not relative, it is absolute. But all finite substances are relative.

When I say that Reality is made of Consciousness this is different in kind from anything scientists say when they propose their finite physical theories. These are not alike claims because all their claims are finite and my claim is Infinite. Infinity is the only correct ontology. Infinity as the one true ontology is what creates endless relativity. Infinity is the absolute container for all things relative, like science.

Infinity as an ontology exists in a category of its own, in a category that contains only one member, Itself. That is why Reality is precisely how it is and not otherwise, because there is only one way it could be. All other ways are self-deception. Another way to think about this is: Infinity is all possible ways. There is only one way to be all possible ways. If you drew a map of the Earth in every possible way, that would be what Reality is truly like. Reality/Consciousness/God is all-inclusive. That's why your way of viewing it feels so real and true, because your one way is an infinitesimal part of Absolute Truth.

"Consciousness is made of atoms" is just one infinitesimal way of viewing Reality. Scientists don't understand this yet. They keep assuming Reality can be explained with some collection of finite views. What is quantum mechanics? What is string theory? What is physics? What is evolution? What is science? What is math? These are all just finite, narrow views of Infinity.

No collection of finite views can ever explain Infinity/God/Consciousness/Reality/Truth, unless the collection is infinite. It is as if scientists are trying to explain the entire number line by picking individual favorite numbers. One physicist says the number line is made out of 3s. Another says its made out of 5s. And then they argue endlessly with each other about it, thinking that one of them must be right. No. They are all wrong. They are all playing finite games when the real game is Infinite.

The fundamental question is, Why would anything be limited at all? Why wouldn’t everything just be unlimited? And the answer, of course, is that everything IS unlimited. The only limits that exist are those Everything imagines to entertain Itself. The core mistake of science is that science assumes Reality must start out limited. Why does science assume this? Because humans only know the limited world. They don’t see that the limited is a construct of the Unlimited. Humans are so mired in the limited that they cannot even believe that something Unlimited can be real. Science is so mired in dealing with the limited that when it encounters the Unlimited it tells itself that it can’t be real, it is unscientific, there must be a mistake. No, the only mistake is treating limits as inherent to Reality. Limits are not fundamental, the Unlimited is fundamental. All limits are imaginary. All of Reality’s limits are consciously self-imposed in the same way that all limits in a video game are self-imposed. There is nothing stopping a video game designer from giving the player unlimited resources and abilities — but doing so ruins the game.

Mathematicians think Reality is made of math. Physicists think reality is made of physics. Programmers think Reality is a computer. Scientists think Reality is made of science. And rats think Reality is made of cheese. How cute.

Reality cannot be made out of any exclusive thing. Reality can only be made out of the One all-inclusive thing, which is Nothing/Infinity. Reality is not made out of math, physics, computers, or science for the same reason it is not made out of cheese: because being made out of anything particular is too biased and too narrow. What is the broadest, most unbiased way Reality could be? To be made out of Nothing/Everything. So that’s exactly how it is.

Just ask yourself, Why would Reality be made out of one thing over another? Notice that there cannot be a reason since no finite thing can be any more fundamental than another. It is no easier to create any finite thing over any other finite thing. It is no easier to create an electron than a kangaroo.

This is AI, but I share it because it is insightful. This is a great explanation of how God works.

Understanding itself is Divine.

Science is one of the most egregious and devious forms of gaslighting. Scientists make mystical people feel like idiots when in fact they are smarter than scientists. One of the things my work does is beat back that gaslighting, to create space for people to be both mystical and rational. Science is so busy gaslighting people that they have no room to entertain mystical intelligence. Science’s gaslighting and strawmanning of mysticism has made it seem like something for morons, when it is in fact vastly more intelligent than science.

Watch out for scientific gaslighting. Actualized.org gives you the conceptual tools you need to dismantle the gaslighting you will surely get from scientists.

Is the gaslighting intentional and malicious? No. It is just the natural consequence of ignorance, closedmindedness, and conformity. A scientific person honestly believes he is defending truth and reason. That's the tragedy of it. "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
