You're confusing your little human finite love for Infinite Love. Infinite Love is accepting of itself, which is Infinity

There's no people. Just Universal Mind imagining everything. You are not a biological self you are a Giant Mind.

What else is there to do? You've seen behind the curtain...this is it. Imagination is reality. So you imagine that they are real (independently aware)

It's no different than a lucid dreamer.

How do you know what Being Nothing is to make a statement about being Nothing? That was the point. It's a strange loop because it's One.

@James123 if that were the case you would never be able to know You are Nothing as you have mentioned in the past. But this is Nothing right here!!!

Same thing. You don't need to learn it. When you discover God by being God you know it and are it simultaneously. The knowing and being collapse.

@James123 have you ever collapsed thinking/knowing into Being as you talk about? You will then know stuff. Because actually Being and knowing are One.

@RedLine when it hits ya you'll be roiling around on the floor drowning in it.

@snowyowl everything is God. And thus everything is You! It's just a matter of becoming conscious of it.

You as the separate self that youre posting this as cannot be God because God realization is the disintegration of that. God is God. But when we say you are God we mean that ultimately or Absolutely there is no separation between you and God because all of this is One. All separation is illusion. Many who have attained the realization of no self will then describe it as "this" . And feel they need to refrain from the word "you" because they are using the word "you" in the context of the ego, which has been revealed as illusory. It is this, but the word this seems to lack something. This is aware, this is sentient. And this is not separate from you as God. Language can only get across so much and then breaks down....The word "you" can be tricky - it does not have to mean a biological self or the idea of an ego. It can be used to mean God or Infinity. You are God is ithe same as God is God.

Understood - the statement was not meant to imply that it was entirely ego development, though perhaps the statement came out that way....but rather that it certainly must be included as a component. If not, we are creating yet another duality. It also depends on one's definition of ego. I consider the ego to be one's entire sense of self - this includes the physical body but also their conceptual identity and everything that comprises that identity. So keeping the body fit, for example, would be considered development. As would be "Having all the technologies at hand" as in the quote, or "being good both ways, making them a "guru" and not a "saint", etc etc. Or such things as expanding one's view on the world, or even working towards selflessness. There is nothing inheritently "wrong" with any of this of course.

@Phrenic cool...sounds like these teachings and practices can lead to enlightenment but at the same don't dwell on it as the primary focus (which paradoxically can lead to it quicker) but rather a sense of balance and embrace of all things - both duality and non-duality. So that one can enjoy a deeper sense of well being. Personally I am of the same view as Sadhguru in that I have no issue with form or bias towards formlessness. This does mean I will have bias towards form in some fashion but that's awesome ? this is how ego development and spirituality unite.

@Phrenic yes regarding his quote above - this is where you essentially eliminate any bias or leaning towards a particular finite form or self. You just remain in a state of selflessness. That would include eating and drinking.. But here one must be careful that it is not the ego secretly shifting bias So this also means it will expedite the "death" of the finite form or the finite mind in which consciousness has been localized. This "self" which is imaginary, will very quickly cease when all bias is removed. If there is still any attachment to form - or to formlessness - then this will not happen. So I do not necessarily mean "physical" death, which is also imaginary.

@CBDinfused think of these as different facets of the same Truth. They are facets of the Absolute while simultaneously they are the Absolute. And you can become conscious of one facet of the Absolute while not become conscious of another facet. That doesn't mean you didn't awaken to the Absolute.

Love ya yeah i figured you were kidding...BTW my advice is drop the Iphone and go with android!!

They exist at separate coordinates in the dimension of space otherwise they would be one phone

@Brivido good stuff.

@Naked Paradox the very first non-dual experience i had was the same exact scenario (down to the tee) and was instantaneous as was yours. It was a state of consciousness so Divine that no words could ever do it justice. It didn't last long but i was fully conscious that this was a state that was reserved for the Divine. No need to do anything different...you're on your way

This trips a lot of folks up but Nothing and Consciousness and Infinity are all identical. Consciousness is what you get when you remove all limitations (Infinity). You get a nothing that is everything...you get mind - as there is nothing to ground it - it is itself. So you get appearance without substance.

Exactly. Its just one infinite Mind imagining shit. That's it. All divisions are imagined by this Mind.

As soon as you stop imagining me i cease to exist. Furthermore, as soon as you stop imagining that you are the small you, it also ceases to exist and you will be infinite Consciousness.

There is no difference between you and me - that duality ultimately must break down - they can be used interchangeably.

@Gesundheit well as crazy as it sounds its happening through your/my infinite intelligence right now but through that same infinite intelligence your also limiting yourself so that you are not conscious of that - if you were, reality would dematerialize and you wouldn't be able to have such realism. So you lose yourself in your own mind.

@Gesundheit nah..i became conscious of it via meditation. I should add that when what i mean by all one is not just your finite mind but that you are Infinite Mind. I think the general consensus on solipsism is that all there is is the finite mind or ego mind. That's not what we are pointing to here but many may misunderstand that.
