Sempiternity

He was my very first introduction to the concepts of Nonduality. Found Leo's teachings shortly after.

What's your personal opinion on GP Walsh, Nonduality teacher?

Think of Solipsism like nightly dreams. You can meet people and talk to them, but those people, you and your body, the environment, that whole reality, is one thing: Consciousness. Consciousness = God. Reality is God making itself into what is being experienced. So are those people you meet in a dream real? Have you lived their life? But what is togetherness? Is it separate beings that are together? Separate beings that are bound together by "the grand self behind all of us"? Solipsism is one Being. Just what is right now in direct experience. That's all there is. Togetherness assumes separation. When there is only one thing (Consciousness/God), there cannot be togetherness. Sorry to nitpick, but the way Solipsism is worded can change the perception of it. Indeed!

And Faith is a trap. It seems to me that the biggest difference between religious people and spirituality people, is religion says that you can't know, so you have to have faith in what they say is true, which is dangerous. Whereas spirituality you can know what reality is, what God is, what is death, etc. I'd rather know for myself, than trust someone with an agenda (money and control over others). Problem is, most of the population of the world doesn't know that you can know, so the only path they have is religion. I look forward to a time when more of the world knows true spirituality.

Had no idea of spirituality, beyond religion and new age woo woo. In 2009, was on an anniversary vacation with my gf on the Oregon coast. We took alot of mushrooms, like 5-6g each. I had a full God Awakening. Afterwards, I wanted to know what happen to me. as I had no reference. In doing research, I discovered Nonduality teachers, and they seemed to understand and teach what I had experienced. That was the start of the path.

and why does every follower have the same face?

Thanks for the response. Can you describe "The Infinite"? Are other people imaginary to you?

Congrats! Couple questions. What is beyond the bubble once gone? What are other people to you?

I'm curious. How does enduring insane amounts of suffering lead to awakening? Only way I know how is right dosing of certain psychedelics, and then surrendering to death, to Awaken from the dream to Truth/God.

Playing devils advocate here, and adding another perspective, but being suicidal when it comes to wanting Awakening can be a blessing. Of course you want to make sure you're during your substances right, with the right dosages etc. When the moment comes when one feels themselves dissolving, fading away, and it feels like you're dying, those that have a love for their life can hold on to life and resist. So someone with nothing to hold on to, actually may have an advantage in surrendering to an Awakening.

Great idea! How are You going to implement this? Because our government sure isn't going to, ever.

This one is wild! Cop just stands there as this guy starts up a chainsaw right next to a bunch of disabled elderly in a senior center.

I highly suggest the 2022 film 'Glorious', staring J.K Simmons, where a man is trapped in a restroom, with a God he communicates with through the bathroom stall gloryhole. Sounds horrible, but not that bad of a film.

Everything in Reality, right Now, Is within your Direct Experience. Experience can only exist right Now. Everything being experienced within Reality is happening within Consciousness. Experience IS consciousness. Consciousness can only exist right Now. Awareness can only exist right Now. You’ve never experienced anything other than your own experience. You’ve never experienced anything other than your own mind. You’ve never experienced anything outside of consciousness. Because if you did, that would by definition be within your consciousness, because you experienced it. Therefore, to You, nothing can exist outside of Consciousness. Consciousness is all that there is. Anything other than direct experience is belief, assumption, speculation, projection, fantasy, and concepts. The Past and Future can only exist as a thought, and only Now. Now, is all that there is in existence. Therefore there is nothing beyond what is being experienced right Now. God is completely sovereign. Which means that everything has to be present within God's consciousness. There can't be anything outside of God's mind or outside of God's consciousness, because God's mind is infinite and everything. It's complete self-knowing and self-understanding. If it is not being experienced in God’s consciousness, it can not exist. And the only thing in God’s consciousness is this, this right Now. What is being experienced right Now. Therefore nothing can exist outside of what is being experienced in direct experience. You have 100 percent direct access to the all of existence. Absolute experience. Absolute Being. If you are experiencing existence, experiencing consciousness, right Now, then you are God. God is consciousness. God is existence. God is the only conscious thing that there is. Now is equal to Direct experience, is equal to Awareness, is equal to Existence, is equal to Being, is equal to Consciousness, is equal to Reality, is equal to All that there is, is equal to GOD, is equal to You.

Looking forward to diving into this! Seems like years since you've done work on the subject of God.
