I did feel wonderful, yes. It was a great opportunity for my growth. "That's the sign" - we shall see

Maybe not a self pov, but some pov for sure. Ego must be constructed on some ground to sustain itself. I believe pov is necessary for the ego, it is a sine qua non for its experience.

Absolutely, life is the most precious gift, better enjoy it and make it big.

That is exactly what one person used to say when coaching me

Good catch! Doing it as much as I can, but of course not 100 % of the time, sometime I forget and am absorbed with other people, emotions, situations, thoughts, etc. became habit for sure. As far as I can judge, habit is part of the routine. To get rid of the habit = changing the routine. Thank you for the feedback

@The observer I don’t want to be an illusion.... better to be God ❤️.

The more I think about it, the more I feel insecure and actually depressed again. I don’t want to be alone. I want others to be real. I want to be real as well, Lol ? Now, every time I have an assumption about “other”, everything points back on me! or this experience.... thanks for the valuable insights.

The main topic has been derailed again. I wish we could share some knowledge or resources about neuroplasticity. I need to rewire my brain to get rid of minor addictions and coping mechanism.

Thank you for your supporting words. To be honest I've come to the conclusion in my life that hope is the last resort I want to rely. Hope is an indefinite state. I want some results.

True ?

I feel shame saying this, but yes. Every time I have a thought like this I try to be super aware of my feelings, thoughts and emotions. One of biggest goal to get rid of my arrogance, and the more I achieve in life, the more arrogant my ego becomes. To me it is a pinnacle of my development to be humble about my achievements. I never boast though. But deep inside I feel pride, I do not like it.

? sugar is my biggest addiction, working on it, trying to eat 86% dark chocolate. Wish I would give up this drug for the rest of my life, but it is hard. I want a candy sometimes. Scientists have already claimed it a soft drug that kills you slowly, however due to financial gain public officials are not ready to acknowledge it.

Sure, I do not mind. I like Osho's philosophy. I read his book. I know people do not honor him a lot, but from my personal experience I can tell that he impacted my view about relations a lot. I was thinking to re-read that book again ("Love, Freedom, and Aloneness") Good video, btw...never watched any of his videos before.

@Someone here Stumbled upon this image when reading prezi for my capstone,

@Someone here Cool, let me know, okay? It is one of my fav. Glad I could help. I am reading Sedona when I have time.

@sure Oh my...well thanks for your comment. So this spring I was so aware that it started to pressure me. I could not handle it. I was observing my emotions all the time. I thought I was going insane. It triggered depression, was too much to handle, plus Covid and inability to travel. All my flights were cancelled. Every little detail added to the pot. Then my friends offered a trip. We went on a trip and I lost my awareness, thanks to God. I have forgotten about enlightenment. Then returned back home and went on another trip with the same group of friends again. Returned back home so positive, like I am unstoppable. What helps me to recharge? Well, my university, homework, exercising, travelling, watching YouTube videos about diet, nutrition, make up and fashion. I do not play video games and never did. Arranging dinners at my house where we drink wine and discuss shallow problems with my girl-friends and my guy friends. And definitely meeting new people. I love it. I am very sociable, can not live without interactions. But this should be limited too. I can not have too much of it. Maybe once in a month.. Then, when I am sick of it, I start to search again, looking for new insights. Man! I love to talk to high conscious people, I see it as a growth. So we set up a session with them and then I receive a lot of insights. It helps me to change in a positive way.

Well okay . Read that book, who knows maybe you can come up with a new interesting question that can be eye-opening and we can discuss it here. ❤️

@Someone here Oh, hello, we have not talked for a while, LOL Where is the avatar with the question mark? Hah? Actually, he can! via direct experience Okay guys, I am wrapping up. I will never finish my diploma capstone with this conversation. @justfortoday Have a good one. Thanks for the insights.

We are the same subject, like the same perfume but in different bottles. However, please remember there is no such concept as one day! Time does not exist, space does not exist, everything happens NOW. Reincarnation is not the case, you will not jump to my body. Jumping implies time and space continuum. There is no such thing as "mine or yours" I think the proper way of putting this is: If I am not real, how can others be?

Oh boy, my dear...you are asking a wrong person. I am not in position to answer this question. I've never had a major awakening. However, people on this forum who have, even they did not grasp it fully. I've copied/ pasted everything from that thread. Please read it again, it helped me to integrate my knowledge. It surely looks like solipsism, however I can not explain the paradox. Hey @Leo Gura can you please help us here? "Isn’t this classic SOLIPSISM?" We are stuck. I do not feel that I am a credible source to talk about this matter with newbie. Thank you, hugs

How cool, my old therapist hated to talk about it.

@Jude_ As soon as I have time, I will do my research, some people you've mentioned here are new to my knowledge. Also, I agree that Leo has to teach using Interdisciplinary Studies, which is what he is doing anyway, this way he will integrate the knowledge, because someone should. Information literacy is another aspect. To determine source credibility is hard nowadays, with the dawn of the internet. Information has value but not all information can be applied. I think the biggest plus of his work is strategic exploration. He is good in understanding the scope of the issue and determining the strategy for the needed info. As much others hate Osho, he was the first teacher who opened this door for me, but it is sad that he lost integrity. Anyway, my thought out loud is that any authority is constructed and contexual.

I know, right? ? Glad this thread helped you in some way. Crying is a beautiful thing, because it makes us closer to God, as we become more vulnerable and ego is not on the way. but cry is different. I am talking about cry when realizing this...or at least getting closer to this realization

I hope it will help Have a good one.

"There are no others. Period. It's only you imagining stuff. But awakening is far more radical than simple solipsism." - LG "There is nothing whatsoever outside your present moment. ... If you look very precisely and carefully you will notice that all other people have been your imagination 100% of the time. Even to deny what I'm saying you must imagine a Leo! Notice that you are talking to yourself, not Leo. Awakening is a radical thing. Keep deconstructing your reality." - LG "The very notion of a self or an other is imaginary. People assume that self and other are like fixed quantities in the universe. They are not. Self and other only exist if they are imagined to exist. Think of it this way. Before a painter paints a painting of other people, there is no self or other on the canvas. Other has to be painted to exist. Self has to be painted to exist. Otherwise it's just a single canvas. You are not the painted self, you are the whole canvas." - LG "You imagine that there is a person who imagines you. But actually there is only you imagining others imagining you. When you talk to someone you imagine, you are imagining that person's body too, not just their mind. To put frame it another way, your imagination is so powerful it IS reality! Right now you're still under the dualistic illusion that there is a difference between imagination and reality. As if imagination is somehow inferior or bad. But the difference between reality and imagination is itself something you imagine! This is what allows you/God to create reality out of thin air. Ta-da! Where did all the people you know come from? They were NOT born from biological parents. They were imagined by your mind! If you stop imagining them, they will cease to exist. What makes Awakening very different than classical solipsism is the God part. Classical solipsism has no recognition of self as God. Once you reach God-consciousness, the solipsism stuff becomes pretty irrelevant because you are so amazed at yourself as God." - LG
