Requires awakening. It's at the level of Being not concept.

@AtmanIsBrahman nice. Seems like you had a powerful glinpse. You caught the tail of the Ox. Keep going with the meditation your consciousness is ripe for a deeper awakening 😀

Can't really explain it verbally..needs awakening.

It had to be something..didn't it? What if it was another way..wouldn't you be asking the same question? You can't escape the existence of something.

If you think about it. All there really needs to be is One Consciousness. This Consciousness can then imagine or create absolutely everything. It can imagine separation. It can imagine self, and other. The difference between other being real or not also is a duality that collapses. If God imagines other exists then really where is the line that would say it doesn't? But also when all separation collapses into One then you have Infinite Consciousness. Love!

How severe is the OCD? If you can reduce symptoms enough you can lead a normal life. It really depends on how severe it gets. Medication, proper diet and nutrition, and exercise can go a long way in improving your mental health and reducing symptoms.

I like your outlook regarding your glimpses of Truth, but I think it's stereotyping to say there is a Masculine or feminine path per se. I think one shouldn't generalize like that. I believe in order to awaken at all one needs a mix of both Masculine and feminine qualities..even if for a man he has more Masculine than the latter..there needs to be at least some of both. In my opinion. Really it is totally up to the individual after glimpses or awakening if they would like to cherish the dream and the material form they find themselves in but I would think most, man or woman, would find the beauty of life more amplified and magical than ever.

@trenton he has money now to hire a top lawyer. He will probably get off with a slap on the wrist. But it sounds like he needs a financial advisor and life coach to help him navigate his finances and life in general. I hope he gets one..otherwise this might end badly for him like you said.

Hey now! Do not doubt the @Inliytened1!! He has since come around and acknowledged meditation. @Princess Arabia is right there is a difference between awakening and enlightenment the old fashioned way - or the natural way. you could call it a full body kundalini awakening although that does nothing to serve it justice. It is simply ineffable. Which is why talking about it or trying to describe it someone is pointless.

Maybe it's both depending on perspective.

Most people are too close minded or locked into a particular worldview or religion due to their upbringing and genetic makeup.

I was talking to @Someone here i hadn't read your discussion with him i was responding to his initial post. But apparently he gets it and is saying the same thing i was saying. I do have a lot of useful advice regarding diet, sex, and work. Hit me up 😀

Robert Adams is literally talking about Oneness from what you posted. The problem is when someone gets lost in the concepts of so called non-duality and misses the forest for the trees. Thats why sitting on the forum all day long is really no good. Rather than getting lost in talk get lost in actuality. Meditation. Self inquiry. The Truth is in you not other. Not a teacher. Thats precisely what Adams is telling you. Truth isn't a belief system or an ideology. It's within you.

Infinity. Why do you assume that existence isn't non-existence and existence right on top of each other with no where to go. So everything and nothing are the same thing.

That's valid. You're attached to your current identity. And it can be scary to think about. But think about it..you don't remember anyway if you were to take another form. So there really is nothing to fear. But fear itself. Who said that ? 😀 maybe forgetting is a feature not a bug..who said that? I forget 😀
