Methinks Jamie Wheal has been puffing a lot of the Magic Dragon.

I will improve that section in the future.

It's more strange-loopy than that. The brain is not a reducing valve of consciousness, consciousness imagined a reducing valve and called it "a brain". The paradox is that the brain reduces consciousness not by some material mechanism, but simply you imagining you have one. When you buy the idea that "I have a brain and it produces my consciousness" -- that idea itself reduces your consciousness and THAT is true function of "the brain". The concept of "the brain" is there to ground you in finite consciousness, for without that concept everything would be seen to be as it truly is: infinite Imagine if you were locked in a prison with an open lock, and the only thing keeping you locked in there was your idea that the door was locked! For decades you planned how to break through the lock, and none of your methods worked, until one day you realized there was no lock, and suddenly the door opened. You ARE the lock and you ARE the key! Ta-da! - - - - - How else could it be, But that you are the key, That will set you free, To simply be, United with me.

There's the rub.

Haha, you are the rock, silly God is EVERYTHING. God is YOU. You can't be more God because you are always 100% God. Everything is always 100% God. But not everything knows it. A donkey always has an asshole. But does he know it?

I never said anything about a rock having a POV. "Having a POV" IS the self! The problem here is not the rock's POV (which you imagine) but that you believe that YOU have a POV! That is the ego illusion. You don't really have a POV, there is Absolute Being, not a POV. Ego imagines the notion of POVs because it needs to feel like it has one. The entire notion of having a POV is wrong.

That's a even deeper mindfuck to be had here: Notice that for a chameleon to truly be infinite, it would not only need to be colorless but also formless, thus allowing it to become any other thing. Imagine a chameleon who is such a good chameleon that he had to surrender even his chameleon identity because he needed to in order to mimic a rock, or a bird, or a human. But in this case, if the chameleon really became so strong and good at his function, he would no longer be merely "mimicking" those objects, he would literally BE those objects. So a true Chameleon cannot even be a chameleon. He must be a non-chameleon Chameleon And if you understand that, then you understand why God must have no identity: precisely so he would take every identity fully, without mimickery. See? God can't just pretend to be rock or a bird or a human, God has to actually BECOME those things, otherwise how would they come into existence? The why is more radical than you think. God IS Love. Love is Truth. Love is Absolute. Therefore literally nothing but LOVE can ever exist. So if a thing exists, it's ultimate cause is always simply LOVE. Reality is LOVE, and LOVE is EVERYTHING, and God is EVERYTHING. Therefore all the finite stuff is just literally what God is. The end.

If Sherlock Holmes ate some mushrooms or hit himself in the head with a hammer, he would experience some odd subjective experiences. And he would consider it a demonstration of causality. But is it really? All of that "causality" is occurring within an imaginary dimension. The true cause of Sherlock Holmes' odd subjective experiences is not the mushroom or the hammer or his brain, it's the author who imagined him and his entire universe -- of which Sherlock is totally clueless because the author exists outside the plane of his reality. @Carl-Richard The answers to your question exist outside the plane of your reality. You need to figure out a way to go orthogonal to all of material existence, or you will forever be stuck within that plane and your questions will never be answered. Causality is imaginary, as is time and history.

You should chase living an authentic life aligned with your top values, your top passions, helping spread truth, consciousness, love, and beauty across the Universe via which ever way most excites you and suits your unique strengths and talents. You are right that you should not just sit around twiddling your thumbs. You should be constantly working on your life purpose and evolving yourself towards that end. Life is short. Don't squander it sitting around in confusion and inaction. False success is chasing what others tell you is good. True success is devoting your life to expressing the Love that you have for the world in your unique way, and doing so skillfully and eagerly. False success will not make you happy, but true success will.

The only demon you should be concerned about exorcising is that big fat ego of yours Keep your eye on the true demon. Don't get distracted with false ones.

@Podie45 I would keep researching the issue and troubleshooting it if I were you. There should be a way to fix it. Try to find people who had it and lost it, and ask them what things they tried. Maybe changing your diet, maybe some detox protocols, maybe some psychedelics.... keep trying stuff with the hope that something will help. Some medical conditions can be very hard to figure out, but they can be figured out.

Think of it like this: a TV screen has no persona until it displays some persona played by an actor in a movie. It would be silly to suggest that the TV has the person it is displaying, or some other persona, because the TV can display infinite personas. The only way the TV can display infinite personas is precisely because its "true persona" is null. That's how God is. God cannot have a self because God imagines all possible selves and non-selves alike. A chameleon who can change all of his colors has no color. He is -- paradoxically -- colorless. A colorless chameleon is an infinite chameleon. Colorless = Infinite Colors. No-self = Infinite Self.

The only reason you get friendzoned is that you are not communicating with these women from the start with sexual intent. You must change the attitude and style of your conversations to being man-woman -- sexually charged. That does not mean you have to say anything sexual. But just by the way you look at her she should feel that if she ever gets alone in a room with you, you will rip off her panties and nail her ass to the wall. Nothing needs to be said. It's your attitude. Look at her like you are a hungry wolf and she is a rabbit. She will feel that and you will never get friend-zoned again. You may get rejected however. But rejection is good, it means she feels your intent and it's just not the right match. You need to project your masculine intent more. Don't hold it back. If you get turned on by a woman, let her feel it rather than hiding it from her. Your being turned on will turn her on. This is a huge part of learning game. You stop apologizing and hiding your sexual attraction. No, God does not elminate the need for sex or relationships. You will be as horny as you always were after awakening. And you will still probably want to relate with people in intimate ways. There is nothing wrong with seeking intimacy. Go for it. Awakening will not solve this part of your life. Yes, getting rid of dating insecurity, learning to lead, and getting in touch with your masculine edge is all very important for a man. You can't really live a good life without it. The pursuit of women makes men stronger men. Which is a good thing. In the same way that a lion who cannot hunt is a pathetic animal. A devil knows no other way

@Javfly33 If you have difficulty getting that a rock is selfless, perhaps you should see a doctor

It doesn't have to be. But if it wasn't convincing you would no longer call it "reality". It would be a fluid and wacky as your nightly dreams. The anchors are needed IF you want things to feel "real" and solid. Just notice how you'd feel if you no longer used the notions of an Earth or brains to explain your daily experience. Notice how it would feel to not have any anchors.

Keep discussion public on this forum.

Same as the Earth. What does the Earth do? The Earth is made of consciousness. Consciousness imagines an Earth to anchor your human dream. A human dream needs anchors like Earths and brains. What does Sherlock Holms' brain do? It runs his life -- within the limited frame of that fictional universe.

No

You are God, and God is Everything. These are not assumptions. "My POV" is the ego illusion.

Yes, I felt a bit better for about a week, but it didn't address any of my real issues and in some ways misled me. It took me months to recognize the misdirection. The biggest problem with these kind of therapies is not the lost money, that's peanuts, it's the misdirection and false understanding they give you of your problems.

Sounds excessive unless you got some serious medical condition that needs tracking. And even then it would be wiser to do specific narrow tests for your condition. Cortisol needs to be measured using a saliva test home test kit, not blood work.

Diet seems to be the most important factor. You probably have autoimmunity due to diet or toxins that you consume or are already lodged in your body. So you need to do serious elimination dieting to discover which foods your body tolerates, and you need to do some serious detoxing of heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, etc. -- and of course eliminate them as much as possible from your diet. If you want to do a serious elimination diet, 100% carnivore can be a good options for 30 days. That allows you eliminate all plant food, which tends to cause autoimmunity. Or fasting. But fasting for long term is very hard and will introduce other problems so it will be hard to tell how you feel.

I am talking about entity removal.
