It becomes a problem when you do not see the obvious, the God, you are so desperately denying in any form or shape, is manifesting through you and for Itself in every single sentence you wrote and every single thought you carry. Religions, teachings, humans are inseparable. All One and only God's game.

I agree, God is finite and infinite at the same time. God is form and formless at the same time. You can’t fathom singularity itself, therefore we need dualism. What is black without white? Can you really perceive infinite without finite? See how two create One ☝️ or One is ultimately incapsulates Two* Infinity!!!! It is all one, however God needs to partition Itself to experience the opposite, to experience Itself in all manifestation ❤️ @machiavelli God is a stone, God is a thought, God is everything and also God is nothing at the same time. your mind tries to divide. Look at the whole picture...

Wow, never thought people actually read my thread and really know me. I feel like with Alex's case, there is more to it than we can see on the surface. Plus, bear in mind, it is just a forum and we do not know people, just from their words. In order to really understand a person, you need to talk to him in reality. This forum has a lot of communicational constraints. Guys, do not take it too seriously.

Nothing can be more tastier than freedom and I love it. Freedom from all the suffering, conditions, everything.... Suffering is not that strong anymore, whatever is left is invincible. I love it, love it, love it. 5-Meo? I think I am ready. Thank you, Leo.

Everything makes absolute sense to me. The only thing I contemplate is how does it (Consciousness) set the parameters for the dream, for so-called appearance of reality. For instance, in the dream this body is a female vs male, born in Russia vs US, having a boy vs a girl (kid), met this person vs that person. Or is it just a random luck? Since I am not in control of the dream, there is no individual, but it seems that this dream has certain parameters. Others are not real, no problem, I got it, but who controls the scenario, or it happens randomly. I want to know this to understand and see the bigger picture. Were the parameters set prior to the dream to have certain experiences so consciousness could expend and evolve having this experience of being Galyna? Others are not real, but they provoke this hero of the dream, Galyna, to make certain actions. What does consciousness need this hero, Galyna, to understand by creating certain scenario in her life. People are not real, all the arrows point back at the hero of the dream. I hope you understand my question. Tomorrow I will be harmed by my neighbor, for example. Neighbor is not real and does not have a cognitive properties. "I" am the only player in the dream. I'll sit on my couch trying to understand why this event has happened, can not blame anyone, right? Neighbor is not real. But would not hurt to know why the event happened, what is there for me to learn. I want to understand the game of the consciousness for this hero and for this dream. As soon as I get the reason, or rules of the game for this hero, it will be easier to drop certain desires that create suffering. But I need to know the purpose of the game, like what consciousness needs to learn from this experience. Thanks.

Reminded me of a situation when I came to the USA in 2009 and had like 500$ in my pocket, which I spent on room rent. I went to the store and ate candy there because I did not have money to buy it (and I am an addict of chocolate). It was a big jar with chocolate-covered raisings, I came to the jar and took 3 chocolate covered raising, and let me tell you I didn't feel guilty at all. I just pretended like I wanted to try it. No need to steal anything, eat in the store, this way it feels better for your ego. Joking ofc.

LMAO, this post literally made my day. I am not being sarcastic, I mean it, oh me, thanks.... Go for it, I won't blame you. The problem is that people who stand behind those corporations are way too smart to allow it to happen. We are talking about the whole network. Watch this vid (only 5 min):

Then you have not let go.

Oh... look who is here, my old friend. It has been a while, I am sure you missed me.

Very interesting. So many newbies are coming here claiming that they got it. You know how many threads we had "ask me anything...." So share "once you have it" story.

Lol, you took my words too far...

Time is a confusing concept. It happened to be so that the whole experience of life, or this Maya, is predicated upon it. But really, what are we without time?

Yep, I agree, this time concept is the most confusing thing ever. Throw this time concept and you”ll get closer to the truth.

Happy New Year to my favorite forum in the world. ❤️❤️❤️

Guys, I want to share with you what has happened the other day. Because I was chasing the understanding for about five years, now I got it! In order to understand Oneness, one has to receive the experience of being Nothing. As soon as you pass through the experience of being nothing, this thought about others vs. me would never occur in your mind. The only difficulties on my way to understanding and grasping that everything is one was in fact the belief in the so-called POV. Once you become raw experience - literally become a raw experience where "being" (hearing, seeing, feeling, and perceiving) just happens - you would not experience such a thing as POV. At that particular time, you will lose the sense of self and you will become nothing. When you become nothing you would not have any registration whatsoever of the particular moment of time. You literally become a raw experience. When this happens, you can only recognize that when experience has already taken place, but not when you are fully in it, because there is no one to register that experience. When you retrospect about losing yourself, you see that you literally became nothing - there was no one behind the scenes, just raw experience. Raw experience does not hold ownership, therefore there is no such things as others or me. There is only this experience. Which feels like never happened when you think about it. Call it a dream if you want. But it never happened. So, in order to understand if others exist or not, get rid of your current POV. And the way to do it is to become awareness that is not aware of itself and relax and go with the flow. Once you pass through this experience and you literally become nothing, the question about "me vs. other" will resolve on its own. All you need to do is to change the paradigm, not in your mind, but rather, you're getting rid of your POV here, which is on your way to a bigger understanding. Being aware of being aware is the first, initial, and important step to become nothing. The second step will be full relaxation where you are not aware anymore of the observer, you just become what you are observing. Once you're there, it will lead you to the experience of becoming nothing. When you become nothing, you would understand that there is no such thing as others. The topic about solipsism will be closed forever. Please don't be too strict about my works -- I'm using a linguistic language to frame this concept.

@Onecirrus From a spiritual point of view, it works as a contrast. How can you fathom your own nature without others? You need others to mirror you, to challenge you, and to improve you (indirectly). Of course, you can spend all your life in the mountain being a monk, meditating all day, and being in the highest states of consciousness. I am talking about mediocre. Relationships are fun, it is a creation...no purpose, just pure joy.

realistically speaking what other intentions would it be? Pure friendships or a hobby...

Rule of thumb, what helps me: every emotional state is kinda malleable, the good news is that impermanence is your salvage. Nothing lasts forever: excitement, hurt, pain....understanding this is your road to freedom. Suffering ends but high emotional states also have tendency to cease. But you never know what comes next.

I agree with this statement as well. Too naive to think that awakening is going to fix everything, in fact a lot of things will come out from under the rug. Shadow work is inevitable.

Hello my Princess The self is a concept, therefore does not exist, it is an emergence of thoughts, feelings and perceptions. You do not make your thoughts, but your thoughts comprise your identity. Meditation is the best way to notice how the thoughts make your identity and how you are NOT in control of your thoughts. Everything is just an appearance, including self, time, space and distance. Hugs.

Hello Princess, thanks for the warm words. I am doing fine...was busy a little bit with my job search. Can't keep up with the forum and my peeps, a lot of things are going on. What is the news with you? Sorry, I do not have to read everything. Lots of hugs.

@Preety_India Beautiful picture.

Recently I’ve been experiencing a breakthrough regarding Time and its implication. I am not in a state of clarity all the time but rather is pushed into it when suffering occurs. !!!!For starters, human language is incapable to relay the feeling or inner perception. But I will try as hard as I can. Please do not be too hard on me, I will be using words like "me", "I", "yours", "mine". Nothing here is mine or yours and it is shocking. Shortly after becoming “nothingness” in my direct experience on September 12th, I fell into the conceptual abyss of time. It became clear to me that if nothing has happened but only appeared as it has, there is only a present moment, time is not real. You carry this body in the 3D space (it is also an illusion, btw), it’s moving but on the background of “your” awareness, there is always stillness. It literally feels like I hit the wall and the motion of time in my thoughts has come to an end. The only representation my mind can create is this: ------>| Where the vector (------>) is thought about “my personal history” aka identity and its past and the wall ( | ) is this present moment. For the ego it is terrifying. Quite frankly I am not sure how to process this. This realization creates anxiety, the desire to hold still and do nothing. It disrupts my ability to plan ahead, dream, hope, and make any kind predictions. When thinking about the future it becomes blank/nothing. As of right now, I have this perception of the body in the 3D space and my thoughts. I am disoriented because my ego used to identify itself with a future/past when making any plans and creating hopes. It is scary because when nitpicking a thought there is no ego really, just a present moment that catches these thoughts’ frequencies (including the thought about “me”) as radio waves. I don’t believe in the thought story anymore. It is shocking. Because I clearly see how this illusion, call it ego, creates a time continuum and a personal story to function normally, to survive. When ego cannot cling to the time, it’s slowly dying, there is no story for it to hold on. Any thought that arises about the future is rejected automatically because I see that it is just a thought and the so-called future will never happen the way thoughts present it. Now…try to really grasp it and see what will happen. You'll be in panic. I’m experiencing this horrific fear. Of what? Of ambiguity and uncertainly, for the major part because I am very confused about this experience. The best word to describe my mental state would be confusion or disorientation. Also, the feeling that I am going slightly insane. However, this present moment is THE ONLY SAFE PLACE to be to avoid the suffering that is caused by the thought about the illusory future. This is my only escape. Appearance, call it "reality", is a quicksand of thoughts that create ego and time. There is only appearance, nothing really happens, and impossible by default. I do not claim anything here, just sharing. I am still confused and can not wrap my mind around it.

Touche!
