Awesome website. Thanks!

Probably this dogma and ideology is what has helped you to be in the actual level of spirituality. Of course there's dogma, because all we say is dogma. Even to consider the idea that killing yourself will free you is also dogma. Even when someone has an enlightening experience, when he tries to explain it, it becomes dogma for us. Because we will never be able to experience the same thing as him. But, it's your choice if you don't want to listen to those sages and enlightened masters.

Fake surrender in the case of self shooting.

My dog will learn faster than me, for sure. ?

First of all, the "merge" term is a concept to try to understand what is not understandable and that it cannot be explained. In reality we are always One with God but the idea of a separated person makes us think we are "separated". If those ideas continue after death, it is obvious that those ideas will take form again, human form or other forms to manifest until the idea of a "me" or a separated "I" goes away. Anyone needs to die to know that, if you jump from a skyscraper you know that you will fall into the ground and die. It is not necessary for you to jump to know it. Is just common sense. And all the wise people who came before us have written about it, the paths to enlightenment are all around us. Is weird that no one mentions suicide as a way to become enlightened. The idea is preposterous.

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing your experience !!!!

Buddha and Jesus didn't know. Otherwise they would suggest you to kill yourself to become one with God. Cool. Edit: Suicide is obviously the ego who doesn't want to accept reality, so ego thinks it can take a shortcut to enlightenment.

But is a different way of dying. If you don't die (transcend the ego) killing yourself won't help. You won't merge with God if you are not mentally and spiritually ready. Killing yourself to become enlightened is like hitting your head against a wall to stop thinking.

Exactly ?

"I look at people’s face there is no mind, it is empty, including my body" This happens sometimes also, when I look people faces I feel their emptiness. Like the eyes are not really watching and no one knows what they are doing. Even though, a conversation happens. ?

@Red-White-Light thanks for sharing!!!

No, in one case, when you are enlightened and recognize your true essence you are ready to merge with God. In the other case, you will be still attached to an idea of what you are (a body, a mind, an ego, etc) so all those attachments will create again a body to where be born until you learn the lesson and become really free. You won't be ready to be one with GOD because of those attachments. In fact, you will reject God because it will scare the shit out of you (your ego-body-mind).

@Lucidliving1234 If he is a materialist, show him this... Carl Sagan said this and he considered himself an atheist. Now, tell him that Sagan is giving the Universe a property of GOD, he is saying that the Universe always existed. So, he is saying that the Universe is GOD, is just a matter of what name he uses to say GOD, in this case Sagan called GOD "The Universe"... Easy peasy!!!

hehehe... I know!
