True but do you want delusion or Truth? Ultimately it is Truth.

That's my take. If you don't like it just stay listening to Tony Parsons.

Stop with the sarcasm.

Imo neo-advaitans are worse than Christians. It's such a distortion and twisting of Truth that it's of the deepest kind.

Tony parsons is not enlightened. Nisargadatta was. Tony is a false prophet. It's easy to say there is no self but to realize it there must have been one to realize. These neo-advaitans are the worst kind. Almost worse than hard Christians.

Again the premise of the video states they cannot be. Language is tricky because here when one uses the term One they can mean unlimited or Infinity. You are assuming they mean the finite number one in relation to other numbers. But Absolute Onenesss is the same as what you are speaking about. Which is why i capitalize it.

What plant are you smoking because I want some of it.

Maybe but as you said the key here is that imagination is reality. This is probably the most beautiful and mystifying thing about all of reality. It allows for Infinite possibilities. Where as if you had a physical, obective, mechanical universe you would really be limited. Einstein was really on the cusp. But he fell short. Though I hope in the end he woke up.

I think his point was to say that because of this there are no truly separate Absolutes. But the premise of Infinity of Gods says there is. Yet the interconnecticity of the two breaks the premise of the infinity of Gods, because it brings the two Absolutes together. That was why it doesn't contradict Solpsism. As you connect the two it becomes part of your reality. It actually never contradicts Solpsism in a sense because the meaning of other only applies to your reality. The other "other" is not even imaginable. Yet the paradox here is that you are still imagining it.

The middle class has been decimated but the way i see it is because wages cannot keep up with the inflation rate. This is probably the most important thread here because most of us are middle class. Yet it got little to no attention.

Yes! Well..as Leo said..rather than focusing on Solpsism you should really go back to the beginning of the path. And this starts with the self. The human self like you said. This starts with simple self inquiry. Because the realization of Solpsism is really the destruction of other. But notice that other is the other end of the duality of self/other. Contained within your idea of reality is both. You have your identity in the universe..and then you have everything that's not you. That is why I call the destruction of other the final realization. Because it unites both self and other into One.

He never said it contradicted Solipsism..where are you seeing that? He was very careful not to do that but left the possibility there could be other Absolutes. Yes we use the term other here but it is paradoxical because it really isn't an other. Now..the whole communication part is a little far fetched. Hence why I refrained from really entertaining this possibility with my imagination. All you are doing here is imagining yet more reality and more "other" like you said. Yet it still fits within the realm of possibility. It merely extends or expands the concept of Solipsism. Which is, by the way, concept. You need the actual realization. Just be wary because it WILL kill you. This realization will kill you.

What this is is someone really rattled that Solpsism is the case and desperately wanting other to still somehow exist. Well..it DOES exist! You see..since imagination is reality..well wala! Why would you need to imagine another God? When you can just imagine your mother or your buddy next door. You can talk to them already.

Yes that's good. Many people are not able to go meta and step outside of themselves to see that this is only bothersome from their selfish perspective. And if they just let it go it would no longer have any meaning. You're right in that you don't need to be enlightened to do this. But many aren't able to see past their own perspective and they let it consume them.

Well..i would say the biggest reason is he or she has already died..their self has died and they have become the Infinite Self. So the trials and tribulations of the self become very small in comparison. They are known to be part of the grand illusion which has all now been revealed as a majestic game. The gig is up.. Thus there is no point in getting torn up about things that have suddenly become so trivial in the grand scheme of things. It is the liberation from the self.

You nailed it... And why do you think the awakened one can easily leave it all behind?

You all know you tried to find the coolest name when you joined this forum This sounds really petty but can we list the top ten coolest names on the forum In your estimation? Maybe sometimes we should just get petty because it's fun and I know you have thought about it. List your top ten here. Leo Gura loses by default. I've got mine.

It means that there would be Infinite God's. Kinda mind blowing. They would be completely isolated from each other. As in completely different realities. Nothing would tie them together.

You can awaken to the fact that this whole thing is a dream. The contents of such dream having their own independent consciousness would.then seem ludicrous given the fact that they were fabricated by a higher mind.

Lucky for us we don't need it 😀

But what if you couldn't get a boner any other way then viagra? Then what? No sex forever? There are many for whom meditation or contemplation just doesn't get it done for knowing the Absolute Truth.

It doesn't exactly contradict the logic of God because the logic of God can include all possibilities including mystery itself. So perhaps this is encompassed in the logic of God itself. But I still refrain because ultimately having other existences identical to yourself is no different then yourself alone.. Thus..still One.

Hes right about this however it also can't be escaped that this too exists within your own Mind. You are left with an open ended possibility. There would be nothing to prevent this but also it could never exist within your reality thus rendering it imagination by default. Of course since imagination is reality.......

@PurpleTree we would have a real hard time flipping between spirituality and politics if we were not able to make the shift between Absolute Truth and the dream. Leo does it seamlessly so you have to be mindful of this

I'm disappointed.
