Well, sadly - you've bought into a bunch of neo-advaitan BS. There is one who awakens. That one is equal to no one. Because it is all things. But it awakens - and it is you. It has both human and non human qualities.

No imaginary means it's made of mind. It's the stuff of dreams. It's not made of matter. This is real though, because there is nothing other than that.

I don't know why he removed it. It was the perfect finish for an epic run. If his videos don't awaken you, nothing will. And yet- he himself did not awaken. He it non-dual states, yes - but it was like accessing a bunch of cheat codes. He didn't do it. Drugs don't do it. End of story.

Awakening. But real and imaginary are identical. You mean physical and objective - meaning something beyond the current experience.

@Holykael its imperative that you realize your wisdom is no where near as a character to God's Infinite Wisdom. God isn't making you finite to punish you. He wants you to realize that the greatest gift is to transcend your own finitude and selfishness.... .Do not jump so quickly to think he programmed you with an inability to awaken. But even if you don't - you can look and be inspired by the paraplegic that still has a a love and a zest tor life. And see how selfish you are. It is selflessness that God wants you to see. You can look beyond your own shortcomings and realize that is in those that make you perfect. God holds out the hope that you may one day rise above selfish desires and realize that that is not what life and love are about. That will be the ultimate gift to yourself.

Good stuff. Indeed you are talking to yourself. But remember, when you speak of your own character - note that there are many characters that have it way way worse than you. People with debilitating illnesses or paralysis- things of that nature - making for a seemingly miserable existence. Yet through the light of God and Love they still find happiness. You can too. GOD wants you to realize that you are in control of how you view your life. That control is Absolute. So if you sulk in your misery, that is what you will get back in return.

Or perhaps they leave it unsaid and rather speak of no self. But when you remove the self what else remains? .....

@RedLine in the end - the Absolute shall never be captured. We can name it Infinity. We can name it God. We can name it Love. But the problem, should there be one, is in the we. For this, we must turn inwards- to destroy the we. And then, only then, shall it be revealed. Because it refuses to reveal itself to a we. It cannot - because it cannot be named by a we. Yes - Buddhism comes close - because it does not attempt to glorify God as another. For there to be a we, there must be an opposite. As in, what is not us. But God is Us. Is it not? That is for God to discover

Such matters cannot be taught. Grab the framework from the episodes - then walk the path by sitting in silence. Dwell in Being. That is where Truth hides.

@M A J I @Breakingthewall as you both see - it is in not knowing that true understanding is found. For understanding is not found in the conceptual realm. It can be found, but by no one.

Omniscience IS Spirituality. Love IS Spirituality. The Unity of both Omniscience and Love is God.

If you've died and become pure consciousness then yes the answer is the body is an illusion as is the self. Consciousness goes on forever. You will forget you were in this form for another form.

There are no awakened therapists, so they won't be able to aid in anyone's mediation practice.

Because you have OCD alone is actually a gift, not a curse - when it comes to spirituality. If you can just sit in actuality for enough time, you will awaken - and this will be much less time then one who isn't genetically gifted. It could be a matter of weeks or months, as opposed to decades. To calm your anxiety, I would look into some SSRIs and or benzos, that will open your mind and free you from anxiety, so that you can sit in actuality for long periods of time.

@Razard86 my point still stands in terms of awakening someone. You can't. No method works. Especially not brute force. A horse can be led to water but not forced to drink. So a gentler approach is the more wise, for the wise see that teaching awakening is a futile endeavor

This doesn't mean the behavior should be condoned.

Then there is no problem.

Understand that teachers are human

Indeed. It's not the they don't appreciate it. They don't need it.

@Leo Gura @Matt23 Brute force methods don't work. In fact no method works. You have to just listen to the videos for the framework, do the practices. and have no predisposition or opinions on God. You have to be open to all options. And that's it. You also have to be in a place in your life where you have lived enough to be ready. A broken heart. Suffering. Living. But as a teacher, brute force isn't the answer.... He is using brute force to break dogma that many have taken in, as belief. And in their arrogance, they have made this the end all be all, without awakening. Thus remaining trapped. But even here, brute force method shall fail. Those people are hopeless.

@Jo-Niet as you said - if you are ready, the videos can be so powerful that they are the final nail in the coffin. Congrats. But there are more facets to awakening then Aloneness or Oneness. There is the realization of No Self, of Infinity, of Nothingness, to name a few. More to go.

You become God realized but then will fade back into a human level of consciousness. This can't be helped. This is regardless of whether or not you took drugs or meditated. But now you are Reborn. You are not the same. What you are telling me is you haven't been Reborn yet. When you're Reborn you will know.
