It's 5 bucks a gallon in the land of Lincoln. (State of IL). This hurts man. End this fucking war! I get that we don't want to get nuked but this is getting ridiculous.

Now is all that exists. Past, future, even time, are imaginary.

They can take you there but whether you choose to believe it is up to you. My parents were conservative Jews so I don't feel like I was ever brainwashed or forced to believe something. But then again when it came to.God I just thought for myself always. Which is weird because I didn’t always do that in other areas of my life. But I can see where in more orthodox or religious families there can be forms of brainwashing and cult like behavior. So I think it depends.

Wisdom is typically gained from experience. But God has Infinite Wisdom simply because God is Infinity. Awesome insight yes I would concur this is a facet of the Absolute. Relative Wisdom is second order but Wisdom with a capital W is Absolute and is more than just the relative wisdom similar to relative love vs Absolute Love.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

His book was the icing on the cake to Leo's videos for me. I also enjoyed reading Marcus Aurelius. Ultimately it will come down to the spiritual practices. Spirituality is actuality not concept.

Your What is Perception video explains this eloquently.

Its weird you realize since everything is One you can be Gandalf or Sauron. But Sauron ends up suffering way more. Better to be Good. Aligning with Truth vs falsehood. But falsehood is Truth.

Exactly. However it only ends up in further suffering which is not needed. It is pretty senseless on the awakened person's part. But sometimes its that the ego hasn't finished burning through karma and fiights back even harder after dying and coming back.

Understood. This is your first go around. Even screenings and interviews will not be full proof. The irony is that awakening could help someone with a mental disorder the most. However I understand this is the pursuit of Truth not a healing endeavor.

It has a lot of similarities to depersonalization. Its very similar. Ive experienced both. Enlightenment is something more profound but they are very similar.

Where is the science for this where you can say "obviously". Is this an assumption? Besides, science doesnt know everything we both know that. Ruling someone out because they take an SSRI for lets say OCD shouldn't be a barrier provided they sign a waiver and want to take on the responsibility. If you are ruling out anyone with any type of mental disorder I think that is narrow minded. However I understand your position. But many people with mental disorders are actually more genetically predispositioned for.spirituality than those without. In fact, awakening can actually provide them relief from mental disorders and either heal them completely or reduce symptoms drastically going forward.

I never said it wasn't. There are just different states.

Yes it basically just Awareness morphing around into different states. But its one Awareness its just that now it is masquerading as a limited human so it must dumb itself down 😀 when the illusion dissolves you can be in a Gpd state with no limits. Keep a box of tissues on hand.

Who else could understand it? And something Infinite indicates that nothing is impossible. Its just that now you are in a finite state of consciousness. I think the potential of psychedelics in shifting Consciousness is marvelous. Meditation is also a great tool. But I think one has to be ready for God to reveal itself. Otherwise these tools will not have any effect. A hammer is useless for someone with no hands.

I'm not suggesting you can't understand Infinity. But one must become Infinite (Infinite Consciousness). The finite cannot grasp the Infinite, rather it must become the Infinite.

How can you fully understand what it's like to be a butterfly?

Easy boys.

There's no you.

"The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao." --Lao Tzu

Objects or people arent conscious. Consciousness is objects and people. And you are Consciousness. Consciousness isnt located somewhere like in a brain. So you or a rock can't have Consciousness but Consciousness has you. Everything is held within Consciousness not the other way.

The only thing that exists is this right now. That is all that will ever exist. There will never be anything behind the scenes. Behind the scenes actually is behind the scenes. Thats what it is. If you were to actually go behind the scenes it would be actual and not behind the scenes.

She had just woken up from a dream and was explaining how real the dream seemed. So real in fact that she couldn't tell it was a dream. But then she woke up and was like, wow! I said..well, that's exactly what spiritual awakening is but with reality. And you will be like..holy fuck..its incredible. Anyway, we had talked about this stuff before but she is dead set on materialism and Jesus. Well..needless to say she promptly kicked me out of the bed. That did not go too well..but I was glad I waited till morning to tell her 😀

The plot twist is that that one can awaken.. From the materliast paradigm there isn't. But inside a dream, if you notice- it is total. There is no difference between reality and imagination because it is all there is. There is nothing to compare it against. Its total. Until you wake up.

Something tells me 14 years isn't going to do the trick for this chick. Wow.
