It tastes gross. I don't understand how anyone likes it.

In crowds people turn into idiots.

This is very good.

@Strangeloop You need to seek professional face to face help from a therapist. This forum is not sufficient for dealing with such a serious condition. Please seek out someone local who can help you work through your thoughts.

I still need to explore it deeper. My exploration of Kriya was completley derailed for the last 1.5 years due to my gut problems.

Generally the progression is this: 1) You realize no-self. 2) You realize Nothingness/Emptiness/Formlessnesss 3) Then you realize The Self. 4) Then you realize Formless = Form It does not have to happen in that order, but this a very common progression. You need more consciousness to see that Formless = Form You progressively realize deeper and deeper that everything is ONE. All dualities merge into each other more and more and more and more until it gets so radical that you literally cannot tell the difference between anything. It's a slow process of defragmenting the mind until your mind becomes a perfect Unity. You are healing and unifying old divisions in your mind like, self vs other, life vs death, love vs hate, good vs bad, reality vs illusion, God vs self, truth vs love, something vs nothing, relative vs absolute, etc. In the very end you realize that everything equals everything else.

Oh, it would be nice if you could link to Wikipedia or some other source that explains the meaning behind the symbol.

Whatever you like. Mindfulness with labeling is very good because it is so rigorous. But tedious as hell.

This is a problematic duality you've created. EVERYTHING IS YOU! You're not conscious yet of what Truth is if you say that forms are not true.

From what I understand there is no such option to turn on. If I am wrong, let me know.

It ain't random at all. And it's still Absolute Truth. This is false. So? It's still form and it's still Absolute Truth. This is false. You are conflating the projection of meaning with form/being. These are distinct things. Even if everything is meaningless, form is still form. It doesn't seem like your being clear enough or strict enough with your terminology. You use the word form and meaning rather sloppily. You are aware of forms right now. Therefore they are Absolute Truth. Form IS awareness. Not something else.

Of course breakups are never easy. They sting like a bitch. Of course. Totally understandable. But on the other hand, if two people don't fit, it will break up eventually anyway. You should try to make it work, but if it keeps not working, at some point you gotta move on. Personally, if a girl gets emotionally upset at me for watching porn like in the movie clip above, she's not my kind of girl. I'm not saying she's wrong, I'm just saying I got different standards than her and I don't consider porn cheating. In fact, I would watch porn with her. To me it's just not an issue. But those are my standards. Of course some girls won't agree. Just get clear on your standards and values, and what you're willing to compromise on and what you're not. To me, a girl as needy and insecure as the movie clip above is a turn-off. I don't need that much drama in my life. That kind of emotional reaction is suitable when someone cheats on you, not over porn.

Or... you are conscious as fuck. Love is the realization that there is no difference between anything.

Those are all good and valid. You have no form, but you also have form. The human form is also Absolute. Do not overlook form. Those are all facets of God. But you still have yet to grasp as a whole what God is and how it works. What is God? << that's the key question to crack. Answers such as "awareness" or "consciousness" or "nothingness" are partially correct, but not good enough. Those are glancing strikes. You must hit the nail right on the head to reach complete self-understanding. Of course. It's just a matter of realizing this more holistically. Look at your hands. Your body is God. This is what God looks like. God has a human body. God is a singular being who creates itself using infinite imagination. You are that being pretending to be human. You are an Infinite Dreamer. YOU! YOU! YOU! No one else but you. Just look at what you dreamed up.

Cute

My work has a strong bias towards pure understanding. Pure understanding is not always useful and it does not promise you embodiment. My work is not results oriented. So if you care about maximizing results you have a different value set than me.

It's so obvious that you can't prove everything that it is laughable that any serious person could believe otherwise. And yet that's how rationalists behave.

I overlooked so such thing. I was not talking about a selfish desire. You guys here way over-project egoic desire. Not everything other than Nothingness is an egoic desire. This kind of redictionism is problematic and stunts exploration of consciousness. This is why I shouldn't even share my deepest goals with you. You don't get.

Yes, the first stages of encountering God will have an "otherness" quality to it. You will probably not understand it is you, at first. Getting rid of all otherness takes lots of work. Many people hold the belief that being God is somehow arrogant or egotistical.

I mean, good, but this is an online forum. It will have plenty of BS. Do not get some illusion that this forum will be some beacon of righteousness. It's a forum. On the internets. Don't forget that. If anything people take this place too seriously. This is a casual place with many loose ideas. People need to keep that in mind so that expectations are properly set. It's when people start taking this place too seriously that problems happen. It's good that you want to minimize your own BS. But this cannot be expected of every member here. They simply aren't capable of it. And we get new people every day.

All words create duality. If you don't want duality, stop wording.

Yes, but that's not what is being considered in my question. The question is how to change the physical flow of material reality. For example, I once was so conscious I could almost reach a point where I could turn on and off the lights in my room using my mind. But I still was not conscious enough. According to my theory, if you become conscious enough you should be able to send an email to anyone in the world using your mind. The only thing stopping it is your lack of consciousness.

Meh, most such people aren't gonna be powerful enough to perform miracles. I think the real key is having insane levels of consciousness -- beyond even what most psychedelics allow. I just don't know how it can be sustained.

"Egoic desire clung to and dragged into / mixed with God-realization?" This is what you think a miracle is? You got a low opinion of miracles.
