    If this is true and free will is an illusion, is ultimate reality that I am nothing but an eyeball of sorts?

    Everything is me, I am all, and I have no control over any of it so witnessing is all there is.

    And beyond that you hinted that all of source was actually nothing so the next level would be that I'm actually helplessly observing nothing...

    Is this what you are saying or am I totally lost? 

    You are awareness, so that's sorta like an eyeball. But you are also everything that comes into existence. So you could also say that you have 100% control, because you are creating the entire universe every second. Of course, this is a very different sort of "control" than the egoic, narcissistic, neurotic sort of control that you strive for every day.

    You're not helplessly observing nothing. You ARE Nothing! There is nobody observing it. And it isn't helpless. It's the source of the entire universe!

    You cannot grasp this stuff intellectually. You have to actually sit down and do the work to observe it all yourself. It's all right there, right in front of you. If you would only discipline yourself to sit down and observe without intellectualizing everything to death.

    This requires THOUSANDS of hours of quiet sitting. But boy is it worth it!

    but I guess I can't admit that I have a little Hitler buried deep within me somewhere.

    That's still not radical enough!

    Lol

    The reality is this:

    Not ONLY am I saying you have some shadow facet of Hitler inside you that you suppress. But that Hitler himself IS literally YOU!

    There CANNOT be ANY separation WHATSOEVER between YOU & Hitler! Not possible! That's what enlightenment means! He is you. You are him. Where else is Hitler occurring? He's occurring in you.

    The bitter truth is that everyone you've ever hated is actually you.

    To understand this, you have to realize that you are not limited to your body. Like REALLY! You are not who you think you are. Whatever relationship you think you have with me, is actually you relating with you. There is no me. It's all 100% you. You're talking to yourself right now, lol ;) So if ever you should happen to get mad at me, just realize who you're really mad at, and all will be well.

    Now that's some Turquoise thinking right there! Hehehe... Good stuff.

    No, you guys are misunderstanding enlightenment.

    Enlightenment is NOT ANYTHING to do with sense perceptions, emotions, or thoughts! It doesn't even have anything to do with existence. It is prior to EXISTENCE!!! Prior to EXISTENCE!!! Really! Like REALLLY! Think about that!

    You're still not grasping the GINORMOUS FUCKING SIGNIFICANCE of this!!! Nothing you've known or have EVER experienced is anything even close to correct.

    This "truth" you're seeking -- whatever it is -- it transcends LIFE & DEATH! Think about it! Life and DEATH! How radical must this "thing" be if it is impossible to annihilate? Really! Like REALLLLY! Think about that! It was there prior to the Big Bang! 14 billion years!

    Absolute Truth is not within the realm of existence. Which is why your mind will never grasp it. How do you grasp something that doesn't exist, doesn't not exist, and isn't a thing?

    Everything you think you know, is wrong. Go DEEEEPER! Beyond the mind, beyond objects, beyond knowledge, beyond science, beyond religion, beyond humanness, beyond perceptions, beyond emotions, beyond brains, beyond space & time, beyond the beyond. Beyond everything. Until nothing remains.

    If yellow /turquoise sees a man being murdered do they just assume he was likely to be the next Hitler

    Hehehe...

    No...

    Notice how the very way you frame the question already assumes that Hitler was somehow wrong/evil.

    Notice how you're trying to make murder okay ONLY if it somehow leads to having the world come out YOUR way. That is, a world without Hitler. So really you're rejecting the reality of Hitler, and using that twisted logic to then justify murder.

    What Yellow and Turquoise say will be far more radical to you. They say, Hitler was as he should have been. We may not like it, but hey... why should what we like matter?

    Turquoise goes even further! Turquoise says: I LOVE Hitler!

    And he means it too! He ACTUALLY loves Hitler!

    Lol... Might take you a while to wrap your mind around that one! Hitler is you after all, so there's no use hating yourself.

    Now that's some deep shit ;)

    @Telepresent Nice!

    After you digest all the personal inner demons, eventually though, you'll have to come to the matter of what is Absolutely True. As in, what is the only constant? So the way I take his question of What is true? is as, What is constant? What is the only thing that doesn't fluctuate in the flux of phenomena? That should be the unspeakable, ultimate source of it all.

    But it's also not necessary to digest all the inner demons I think. You can straight away just ask, What is constant in my experience?

    @Vlad Ropotica That's what happens when you try to grasp the un-graspable with the mind. You will NEVER grasp Truth with the mind. It is not possible! All that can happen is the mind can spin its wheels until the tires wear out, the mind collapses in exhaustion, and Lo-&-Behold, Truth remains!

    The problem is that you're not letting go. You still think you can win this battle through mental trickery. You think you can outsmart yourself, but your self is much smarter than you!

    You don't exist!

    You are not acting, you've never acted, nor you will never act. Because a non-existent entity cannot do anything.

    It's like you're expecting Mickey Mouse to enlighten himself. He can't! He's a fucking cartoon! Only the animator's hand can enlighten him. Nothing Mickey does will work. Mickey needs to realize he's a cartoon. And even that he cannot do unless the animator draws a light-bulb over his head.

    @Water Whenever you're having strong emotional reactions like that, you gotta wonder, Isn't this a clue that there is something deeply amiss here? Like, why would my mind react this violently? What is the mind hiding with this maneuver?

    Yeah, on some days the ego will prevail. Let that be okay. That's why we meditate every day. That's why this path requires strong habits and practices. You gotta outlast the ego here. You cannot overpower it. Because it is you!

    @carlo This will require a lot of inner work. Specifically on self-esteem. See Nathaniel Branden's books (see my book list) and do all the exercises he gives you.

    I am also creating a course that will show you how to reprogram your subconscious mind, and it works great on all kinds of deep self-esteem issues that are very hard to get at any other way.

    Yes, meditation helps, but it's not direct enough for serious self-esteem problems.

    @tomasCZ Do not confuse enlightenment with a state or an emotional experience. Enlightenment is NOT an experience of any kind. You do not gain it or lose it.

    What you've been having are consciousness-expanding experiences. But that is a far-cry from enlightenment.

    So, carry-on, but don't get distracted or hoodwinked by any experiences you're having. All experiences are false! Especially the most wonderful ones. No experience lasts.

    You are NOT an experience. You are NOT a state. You are NOT an emotion. You are NOT anything you can think of. If you can think of it, you can be certain you are NOT it. Because what you are cannot ever be thought.

    Your mind has to completely break down here. There is no possible way to escape that. You have to choke on your own thoughts and experiences until you stop experiencing anything at all.

    It's absolutely brutal. There is not going to be a "you" at the end of this process. There is not going to be anything to hold on to any more. It's an utter freedom. A total vacuum. Like your brains where sucked out through your nose and splattered on the pavement.

    A lot of people say a lot of things.

    The deepest truth I've extrapolated so far is Absolute Nothingness. Maybe there's something else to be found, I dunno, there's lots of different types of mystical experiences, but it doesn't seem that way from where I'm sitting. Things like soul, spirit, and even consciousness is not as deep a truth as Nothingness. Nothingness is beyond all mystical experience, beyond soul, beyond existence, beyond non-existence, beyond any thing whatsoever. And it seems like only the most hardcore and grounded people find it and speak of it accurately.

    But maybe I'm wrong.

    The problem is, that personal experiences of any kind, even if they are heavenly or otherworldly, are still experiences. And enlightenment is NOT an experience.

    Before you were born, there was no experience. But you were will still you. And you're still that you. And you will be that you after you die. But that you is nothing you can imagine or fathom. And it is not an experience.
