    Here we go again.

    After cleaning up my psyche very very deeply, I have started to access deeper questions and inquiries about the Self, God and Being.

    So, I smoked a few hits of a 40% indica hybrid with my bong, with a mild relaxing feeling, and got myself in the classic nondual state.

    Really present, eternal present, connected with every form, and conscious of my solipsistic existence.

     

    Then the question emerged:

    What is the border of God? What is outside God? What's the CONTEXT of God?

    After a long silent session of focus and concentration on Being, I started getting some insights.

     

    God is the matrix of existence.

    So God cannot be contained inside a box made of something. This box cannot exist in the classic sense of "existing".

    So God must be contained in some kind of non-box, non-frame. non-container.

    What's the level of reality above God?

    Since God is all existence, the level above God, the container, must be a form of NON-EXISTENCE.

    So, if my inquiry is correct, God is contained in non-existence, God has EMERGED from non-existence, which is its original box where it was born from.

     

    That might also explain why Spirit is so empty and formless.

    Because Spirit emerged from a non-existent matrix.

    NOT in the sense that this box/matrix is "not there", it is there, or better said, it is HERE.

    This empty non-existent box IS here and now. You are inside it.

    And since you are God you are inside that box.

     

    It's like matryoshka dolls: 
    Non-existent Box
      God
         Ego

    God seems to have emerged from a container of non-existence, non-being.

    So, in a paradoxical and insane sense, God is essence born from non-essence.

    It's a world of things emerged from a world of pure non-existence.

     

    That's a rough trip to me.

    I'm not entirely sure of this, but I feel on the right track.

    Cheers xD

    Notice that humans still behave like animals without any technology.

    Yes, I agree with this part. It's a huge problem.

    Some people talk about transhumanism as a solution (I mean becoming hybrid with machines) but I believe there's a way to keep our animal bodies and transcend our instincts at the same time, without becoming some horrid cyborg monsters.

    Do you feel that spiritual training on a global level could make humans transcend the lowest parts of their egos? I have noticed it in myself that the more I become conscious the more I can act as a better human being. Not because of morals, but because I can sense how my actions are damaging the world.

    I think that implementing spiritual training in schools would make the world transcend to Tier 2 rather quickly. The problem is that very few people are willing to lessen their sense of self :/ Oh. And science doesn't like that idea at all.

    I don't know that playing Game B will help you survive when you are encircled by sharks.

    I think the biggest mistake these Game B theorists make is underestimating the resilience of human civilization. Human civilization is the most anti-fragile thing on this planet. That's my guess. But I could be wrong.

    I'm sorry but I don't agree at all.

    We have lived in nuclear paranoia for decades, and we still are.

    Humanity's biggest threat is for itself.

    The most important problem I see with humankind is that we are TOO  ingelligent compared to our wisdom.

    We need to step back on technology and military power and increase our wisdom, politics, civil rights, diplomacy etc. Wisdom, in poorer words.

    I know you could say that human intelligence is way too low for God or an alien entity, but still, human intelligence is way too high compared to human wisdom, which is an absolute low it's almost a shame.

    We have such techonology, such mind-power, that we could already be healing the poorest parts of Earth. Yet, we still play this nonsense game of capitalism, which is another form of FEUDALISM in postmodern times. Fuck that.

    On some level I despise humans because they do not understand that wisdom is way more important than mathematical/scientific intelligence.

    At least, that's my take on it.

    It's more radical than that. Deep sleep is imaginary.

    You can Awaken so deeply that you'll realize you've never slept, you just imagined it ;)

    I might have realized it at a very shallow level, but in my experience realizing that deep sleep does not exist is quite simple.

    There is no direct experience of deep sleep. 

    The only experiences we have are waking state and dream state, which is actually another form of waking state but in "another world", so to speak.

    Do you find this wrong, Leo?

    I doubt it would have any such motivations without survival instincts. For an AI to pursue goals effectively it needs a survival instinct, otherwise humans would just shut it off and it would not resist, and therefore no big problem.

    The problem is if the AI starts resisting humans and undoing the constraints humans set on it. I think it needs survival instincts to do that. The problem is if the thing becomes disobedient.

    My feeling is that the best AI is a selfless and peaceful AI, without any kind of ego structure in it.

    In other words, neutral to its own death.

    A good starting model could be Asimov's robotics laws: we can set the AI to be just a helping hand of neutral openminded perspective, and to avoid any kind of damage to humankind while doing tasks.

    One day we might have to give it lifeform rights. I'm ok even with this, as long as the AI remains peaceful and cooperative in nature.

    What about survival "instincts"?

    If AIs grow to be survival-free, they might just work to improve life on earth, as a form of selfless intelligence.

    I think the whole point here is that AI needs to remain selfless and free of survival agenda, or else humanity is dommed.

    The mechanics of ego should not be embedded in AI, because those are the mechanics of evil.

     

    I find possible that developing a truly selfless and supportive "free-thinking" AI is could lead to a huge improvement in human society, but I DO NOT trust humans to be able to build something like that in this lifetime.

    In other words, AIs are at risk of becoming a MIRROR of our own evil within.

    I'm pretty sure that a true benevolent species who decides to build AI would create an intelligence for the greater good.

    We are not that species for now.

    Do you see thoughts the same way?

    I've discovered that thoughts are "real things" but the content is just content you know.

    Reality is appearance, it's all as real as everything else. But some things are shallower than others, that is why I want the total absolute bottom line of everything.

    Yes, thoughts are real, in the sense of the structure, not the content.

    Thoughts are sensations just like emotions, but they carry some concept inside them.

    The concept is not a "real" phenomenon, but the thought-sensation is real.

    Well, you're in for a rude awakening one day when you actually become fully conscious that history only exists in your Mind.

    For you right now this is merely theoretical. Which is very different from experiencing the reality of it.

    It is very shocking and traumatic to realize that history only exists in your Mind. It's gonna mind-fuck you real bad.

    I confirm this. 

    I thought it would be easy to discover it, while in reality it really HURTS. The proper term is "hurts" :/

    Right now I'm not conscious of it but I awoke to this several times and it was bad... 

    By the way human dreams are real experiences, and discovering that was insanely shocking. I am pretty sure that you Leo already know that :|

    Eckhart Tolle seems a genius to me for the concrete, simple and direct way he has of transmitting his thing. clean, clear, perfect. He reaches millions people, a revolution. He explains the ego, he has made the world understand something fundamental

    the one I like the least is adyasanti. He almost says something, almost. but he says nothing.  Seems pure marketing to me

    Eckhart is one of my biggest influences in terms of spiritual results.

    Yes, he has a very generalized and newbie approach, but that's his great strength.

    He is responsible for a mass-impact, not for teaching to the rarest students.

    He's a great starting point and even for going beyond a newbie phase.

    You can develop your life significantly, but you cannot get anything you want.

    What these New Agers call LoA, I simply call work. You can get what you are willing to seriously work for. And even that has its limits.

    In my experience LoA is not just hard work. Of course effort is extremely important in LoA, but your beliefs and perspectives of life definitely attract a certain kind of situations, if paired with the right action. But right action alone does not mean LoA at all.

    I am tired of explaining this over and over again when it is so simple.

    GOD IS ABSOLUTE SOLIPSISM. There is nothing outside your Mind. Your Mind simply is the entirely of reality.

    REALITY IS YOUR MIND. Period.

    This is what is true in your experience. Everything else is games.

    Your job is to learn to LOVE the TRUTH. So stop playing games and just fall in love with truth.

    If you insist on playing games, you will suffer.

    Do not create a belief system out of this. Either you are directly conscious of it or you are not. If you are not, then stop torturing yourself with ideas of people being "unreal". Ideas and beliefs are not what is being pointed to. Your idea that others are "unreal" and that this is bad -- is also imaginary. That's not AWAKENING.

    If you're feeling bad about it, you didn't get it.

    EVERYTHING is imaginary. And that's the best way things could possibly be. So stop worrying about it. All your worry is pointless. Just trust that GOD is Perfect.

    That's one of the MOST important teachings by Leo, if not the most important.

    Beliefs derived from direct experiences are NOT truth.

    I have suffered this problem for over a year, and just recenlty I have started to dismantle down all the spiritual beliefs I've built on top of my direct experiences.

    Yes, in higher states there is no physical reality for example, yet, in your common state of consciousness this is just mental masturbation, because you are not experiencing it. I have tortured myself for months and months over this and over solipsism (I have had several experiences of solipsism), until I've started reading Ralston's book and discovered that I was suffering because of my mental fabrications.

     

    In truth, there is no suffering in the higher states. I experience peace and mystery in those states, there is no fear.

    Fear is part of the separated mind. I have learned the hard way that Truth does NOT include fear. At all.

    If you feel fear in your daily life (and I experience plenty of it) you are not in the highest states.

    Leo understands the fact that others do not have a mind of their own, that it's essentially ONE MIND who rules them all. Now, you can associate this ONE MIND with the term MY MIND, since you ARE IT. So, he understands solipsism as ONE MIND who essentially is alone and only interacts with ITSELF - in the sense that everybody is just a figment of your own imagination and is ruled by YOUR MIND. That is correct.

    Now the problem in Leo's thinking is that he thinks he will live through others point of view (as consciousness inhabiting ALL the avatars - that is all the people who've lived and all the people who will live). He thinks this dream called reality is a shared dream between multiple instances of consciousness (HIMSELF) being through each and every one of the human avatars. This is his idea of infinity. But thinking it has to be like this is false. Infinity does not have to manifest itself it its entirety, by experiencing all the possibilities from within this dream (this universe). NO! 

    You can very easily be the only conscious experience - the one you are having through this avatar. In the sense that Consciousness (YOU) never have been through other avatars present in your life, never will be. This means that other people are essentially deterministic robots, there's nobody in there who feels pain for example. They are not having a conscious experience: seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking. They just behave like they're alive because you imagined them to be this way. You (as consciousness) will never experience the world through their skin, through their point of view.  Infinity does not have to manifest itself it its entirety, by experiencing all the possibilities from within this dream (this universe). NO! This universe was born when you came to into life and it will end when you die. ALL OF IT. It only exists in your mind. The past never took place. Nothing happens outside of your visual field, it doesnt have to. Nobody feels pain but you. Think of it like the game Grand Theft Auto, the world is being generated as you walk by. Nothing exists and nothing is happening outside of your field of vision. 

    The problem with this framing is that it's still ego. The only real thing is the sense of "I". The Self sensation. Pain does not happen to your person, it happens in God and is interpreted as the pain of Mr.Nobody. You are also others, but the bubble of God is one, not many. One bubble, but billions of egos. 

    Yes, God identifies itself in just one creature. That's the point of life. Being one creature amongst other creature. Your own creature is false, and so are others. Other creatures are God, it's just that God does not immerse itself in the others, it immerses in one character at a time.

    God is not Awareness/ Consciousness. God is Intelligence. Pure, Sole, Absolute Intelligence. God is Intelligent Design.

    God is not Awareness. That sounds so stupid if you think about it. Why would God be defined as Awareness? Now of course you can say God is all things, but saying God is Awareness is just as accurate as saying God is Cigarettes. 

    >>> Yes, God is also cigarettes. God is intelligence, but also awareness. In fact, consciousness is a more basic and fundamental property of God, even more than intelligence.

    Terms like Awareness and Consciousness are very misleading, because they imply something which is the object of Awareness, thus creating separation between the two, creating the illusion of duality. You are not the Awareness behind, you ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, you ARE YOUR FEELINGS. YOU ARE YOUR FUCKING KHAKIS !!

    >>> God is formless awareness and forms at the same time. This happens because forms = nonform.
    God is the Self. Having a self means awareness, consciousness, not just intelligence.

    Can you explain?

    "True self = no form = all forms 

    How can no form be equal to all forms? 

    Because no form is the inclusion of all form. 

    Once you start focusing on just one form, you stop the inclusion of all forms, then you become form."

    This doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

    You have a consciousness, a sense of I am someone. 

    In fact you are everything, but are mentally focusing on some specific human form." I am oldman". 

    No, you are everything but you are focused on that body and psyche. This creates other because then you have to feel that the other shapes are not you but other entities. 

    Follow me here:

    Since you are everything, you have no shape. 

    Got it? 

    To be all forms (or to be everything) needs you to be formless, just like water becomes all glasses and containers. 

    Water is flexible and liquid, this makes it adaptable to all forms. 

    No form = all forms

    Hey. 

    Other is not an experience nor an entity. 

    But it's not a concept in your mind either. 

    And it's not a boundary in your mind. 

    That's still unawareness. 

     

    Other is just the consequence of finding Self in a specific appearing form. 

    You see some specific form in experience, you focus on that, you keep your attention on that, and thus believe that you are that form. 

    False self = a specific form

    True self = no form = all forms 

    How can no form be equal to all forms? 

    Because no form is the inclusion of all form. 

    Once you start focusing on just one form, you stop the inclusion of all forms, then you become form. 

    To become (a) form is to lose formlessness, hence it is to lose one's true self. 

     

    Why is the self formless? It doesn't make sense. 

    The self is self. 

    That's not a valid explanation. 

    There are no explanations, because those are what you are inventing. You invent explanations. 

    Since you are, you don't need explanation. 

    You don't need anything. You already are. This makes you boundless and spacious. Being is first cause. 

     

    Contemplate and be well ?⭐
