Does he really? Unfortunately he's still forever away from enlightenment.

That is correct. There is only Purity with a capital P. That is an Absolute. Thus, the strive for purification is but an illusion.

But isn't this a reflection on you and not him? Think about it. Who came up with this but you? He's just a guy on a screen. He is made of pixels. You are the one interpreting the words.

Pure and impure is a duality that must collapse. What you deem is impure is relative. But if you want God realization which is non-dual - then meditation can get you there.

Awesome. Yes i have played on chess.com I'll hit you up later in the week.

OCD is an exaggerated version of the finite trying to grasp the Infinite in a subconscious way. It is the quest of the finite for total certainty. Any ounce of doubt or lack of total omniscience destroys. Thus - it is the doubt disorder. Only the infinite has total certainty. And yes, I suffer from it. I have my whole life. It can be mild most of the time for me. But asking someone who hasn't had direct experience with OCD is like asking the wall how to be a rock.

Sarcasm or sincerity? @trenton i am fairly decent at chess and enjoy it a lot. If you are up for a game let me know. Maybe we can even get a little chess tournament going here. I dont play that much but to me its kinda like riding a bike.

A case of mistaken identity then ?

It is. Leo claims you can just pop psychedelics and wake up. Maybe some can. But suffering is a path. And suffering is bound to happen the more experience you log. And it was my path... and then awakening just came spontaneously with meditation.

Congrats to all three of you! @Ulax I've seen your name mentioned in blogs. @Thought Art you are on your way to enlightenment and a successful and happy life. I like how you operate. @Sincerity don't know you that well but have seen ya on another forum I deem. Good luck.. May the force be with you because you will need it!! ? @Leo Gura perhaps explore part time salaries for your mods. You might then avoid the high turn around. Besides, its a jungle out here! Love ya bud - keep putting out amazing content.

When you dream at night you could ask someone in your dream if they have an independent experience and they will tell you yes. So basically there is no scientific evidence that can prove you aren't dreaming right now. And to the contrary, you can have the direct realization that you are dreaming. By awakening. But be warned: you may not want to know it's a dream from the ego's perspective. Note that the ego's very existence requires the self/other duality. So when this collapses......

You won't do it. And it won't happen. Until it's time. Until you dream it so. Death is imaginary. You imagine a bullet to the head. The Absolute and relative domains must collapse only when you as God collapse them and not before.

It's imaginary. Be careful of bias. Everything is imaginary. In the dream there is such a thing as genetics and that some genetically dispose of heavy metals better than others. I eat 4 cans of tuna a week and have done it for 30 years. I'm fine. But this is still all part of the dream. No one else has good or bad genetics. There is only You. And what you've imagined for yourself.

There is no "your" or "my" perceptions. There is only Being. And it is Absolute. You have to start by realizing No Self before you worry about No Other. There is a shift in consciousness. You are me and I am you, and thus that duality collapses. But when you realize no Self..the rest will follow. And I mean an awakening to No Self - not a conceptual realization.

It takes a mystical experience. It takes awakening to Absolute Infinity. Becoming it. Evidence is held within Infinity. All you need is an open mind and a meditation practice.

I deem this is why the video was pulled. That said - If you have directly realized Truth, there is no harm in it. But then, you no longer need to use it anyway

@onacloudynightAnd you will no longer need discipline. You will no longer succumb to social pressure without requiring will power. It will just be. This is when you have burned through all karma.

Stop succumbing then - and then you will seize back control. That takes discipline. Are you ready for that? You may be highly conscious- but without embodiment you will still be stepping on your own toes. That said - this is your will as God and everything is happening in just the correct order. If highly conscious, you would know that you are Perfection.

No mechanism required. A "mechanism" is held within the dream itself, not outside of it.

This is precisely why I've never used the word.

That's called lucid dreaming.

When you beat the game there is nothing else to do other than trick yourself into believing you haven't figured it out. Ta da.

Right. But that boils down to survival. And yes - Its relative. If you want to keep living you will experience fear in the moment your death is threatened. This is regardless of whether or not you are God realized. But what I am proposing is the enlightened one or God realized one already expects this and thus bypasses the innate human fear built into survival. In other words - he transcends survival. Heres the thing - he can fall easily back into the dream and be scared, but that would be something he is conscious that he allowed. There is a big difference there. This is self reflection.

Make an effort to look someone in the eye and remember their name. Just place it in memory. Simple right?

Nope. You won't become enlightened until you are at least 50. You've lived. You've experienced. It's only attachment to whatever forms you have left is what remains. When you awaken you know directly that death is an illusion. So it is the dismantling of the illusion that bothers you. Because you took so much time to set it up. And you attached yourself.
