That's nice but it's not enlightenment. Don't fool yourself.

Seriously?

Isn't the object of a video game to beat the game? Then you can go back and play it again by fooling yourself but the fear will be gone because you already know everything. You reached omniscience in the game.

@Actualizer777 if you imagine they are conscious it becomes reality. Thats what becomes real for you. Imagination literally is reality.

Indeed. @Vibes that's interesting. He may be institutionalized for all we know. Wish him the best.

He's not banned maybe he's taking a break. Eventually it's impossible not to get burned out on this forum. I'm completely burned out at this point. You have to be approachinging it yourself.@BreakingthewallBtw I always found him to be a good guy. Not sure why he is getting such a bad rap - to me he is just very passionate about what he has experienced.

Could you give up your current form now? Not so easy.

God IS the permanent form. Satisfying infinity.

It establishes a framework. Look at it like you would spiral dynamics. Logic is needed - but then you can transcend into mysticism. Mysticism incorporates rationalism but also transcends it.

But that's what reality is. That's what you are. A bundle of concepts. Are you going to forgo reality? I kinda like it. So should you - After all, you designed it so that you could lose yourself in it and forget that you were the developer. Isn't it absolutely magnificent? You should take a moment to be conscious of the Absolute brilliance. The problem with this dream is that God attaches itself so deeply so that it can become real, that it doesn't want to let go. That's the cost. Suffering is the cost. But it's wonderful to feel mortality even for but a flash in eternity.

The ego is a runaway train. An animal purely designed for pleasure. Yes - if you ever stopped to fully become conscious that you are imaginary - you would die. What fun is it for the ego to think about things like reality and the now. It's no fun at all because ultimately it leads to the path of its own destruction. So it would rather delve into more simpler things like porn. Now, you know what's up - you have had a taste of the now - you have had a taste of mystical experiences. So now the challenge for you is to strike a balance. Can you be Godlike or humanlike?

It is indeed a strange loop. Because if you think about it, since God can forget it is God - it is absolutely total. But this is the logical mind trying to rationalize Infinity. God in the Absolute sense closes the loop because it is God. It's that simple. You aren't going to be able to find an answer with logic you have to become God. That will be becoming Infinity- in which you will know that God simply has the ability to forget its God. But remembering it is God will resolve all paradoxes.

If you could concur that reality is infinite- there cannot be any mistakes other than via illusion.

Evolution is not resonsilbe for this illusion. Sometthing mystical is. You are still stuck in the materialist paradigm.

its not an alien mind either. its someting in between. its transhuman.

Whose to judge what a worthwhile challenge is? That's relative. So God just picks one.

@michaelcycle00 because an Infinite, omnipotent God is boring. Its like being the developer of a video game. Wouldn't you rather limit yourself and put yourself in the game itself, with limits, so that you could experience what it's like? With challenges? Pure omnipotence knows no challenge. That's all it is.

For sure. It's still interesting to me though.

It's truly amazing how so many brilliant minds just don't grasp the nature or reality. I would trade all the wealth in the world for it. But as far as mastering survival - you're alive aren't you? Then I would suggest that you might just be doing a masterful job so far.

Splendid. Yep. You got a huge glimpse. And Shinzen Young once said that depersonalization is enlightenment's evil twin. It's almost exactly like enlightenment but without the realizations and bliss, from my experience.

Sleep is designed within this dream to rest and recuperate the body. But really what we call REM sleep is really just a state of consciousness. Since there is no unconsciousnesa then yes - you are dreaming all the time, both waking and sleeping, you just dont always remember. Ever put your keys away but later forget where you put them? Dreaming at night is no different. You walked for the first time at maybe age 2 or 3...do you remember any of that? But you did experience it at the time. But notice in the Absolute sense time is imaginary, as is the past. So there is only this present moment now. So In a sense it never happened. Its paradoxical. But when you lay your head down to dream, you are experiencing whatever you are conscious of in that moment.

It's just a different state of consciousness. There is no unconsciousness but a lot of time when you are dreaming you just don't remember what you dreamed. It's really not complicated. Reality itself is just a giant dream- and right now you don't remember how many different forms you took in the past because there is no past other than memories which are just thoughts that can be wiped. That's scary but also liberating. Would you really want to hold onto the memories of an eternity? Probably not. Would definitely cause a case of PTSD. So you remember some of your dreams at night but not all.

Well, if ya wanna get technical, the only objectivity is Subjectivity "The universe is simply an Absolute Relativity". Thus - if he's got the answer to solve suffering, I've got a get rich quick scheme you can also follow.

Because those people live and breathe under the protection of such glorious nations. Betchya @zazen has a very comfortable home nestled within the boundaries of such nation. It's easy to talk from the sidelines. Not so easy to play.

Noob... As if there is something objective.
