@Vibroverse ha! May the force be with ya

Nicely stated. One could say its solipsism as God but at that point the definition has changed. Why bother with trying to capture it with names of theories. Why not just say it's God.

I'm claiming that you can become directly conscious that you as God are dreaming up this entire material universe (small u) and everything in it - including "conscious" beings and including "yourself". In truth beings don't have consciousness, Consciousness holds beings.

No. Nothingness, Infinity, and Consciousness are identical. You need an awakening.

If you ain't awake you will still believe all there is is concept - and thus will be still comparing concepts. Because they are imaginary and exist within your consciousness. If you were awake you would be conscious of this. Its not a theory - Truth is prior to theory and proof and will never be proven. This takes awakening - Sam ain't awake nor are you or you would not be posting this. Just the facts. Proof is 2nd order and held within Truth. Truth is Infinity. Infinity is Consciousness. If you were awake you would be conscious of this. Reality is not a theory. it's just what is.

Correct - that is most likely going to be the case because they are so firmly locked into that ideology from years of indoctrination. And why they will most likely never progress beyond stage Blue.

If he had an actual God awakening he would understand the difference between the word God in the context of post rational vs pre-rational and would need to articulate this to his students.

I haven't listened to much of him - but i think he really still believes consciousness exists within the brain - and that's it - not that materialism is nested within idealism. That materialism is it.

@Mason Riggle Lolz...do we really need to start prefacing everything with "within the dream, the imaginary Sam Harris is a materialist."? Its kind of a given when we speak that we are speaking dualistically

@Dazgwny very nice Yeah i remember when i had a similar awakening. And in the days that followed, while consciousness was still highly elevated, i recall seeing a squirrel getting squished by a car on the road....and i recall being conscious that the squirrel was just an idea dissolving in the mind of God. In my Mind

@StarStruck my bad....?

It's the realization that you ARE Leo. Its total Oneness.

You don't mind smelling your own farts do you?

Exactly - they are mere pointers to Absolute Truth. Which is what you ARE - prior to imagination. Again more word games. We cannot grasp Truth here. Have to Be Truth. So we will just keep chasing our tail conceptualizing. Have to do the spiritual work. ?

@Leo Gura @Ry4n You guys beat me - i couldn't stand to listen to it at all because i knew what was coming

Its more radical than that. You realize that there is no such thing as death. Death is an illusion of the egoic mind. Because you are not the body and you are not the soul or the ego. All of those are merely ideas. You are Infinite Mind and you can discover that directly. When you become directly conscious that you are not these things the illusion that death is actual will die. All that was illusion shall melt away. And what remains is Pure Consciousness or Pure Infinity. This will be the most beautiful experience, and it cannot be described with words. This is more imagination. There is only the present moment.

@Adamq8 indeed!

@Vercingetorix yes - God is imagining the dream to be real - lost in its own mind. so it can be shocking to awaken from the dream and discover it is all a fiction and that God is alone because it is a radical recontextualization of reality. But its also marvelous and miraculous beyond description!

@SpYITB awaken and know the answer experientially

God agrees with God. What is right or wrong? No one is wrong! Because there is no one here!

God doesn't "need" to do anything. It is Everything already. It is the structure and the content. Right now you are dreaming up this world exploring every possibility - and you will go on dreaming up realms onto eternity as God is an Infinite Mind. Remember Absolute Infinity is pure Selflessness - the one who sees suffering it the finite part of itself which is actually God suffering along with you. God is you. But in reality everything is Love. We only see it as negative or imperfect from our finite POV.

@SpYITB I'm just saying that something that is everything is its own end - its prior to needing a reason. All "reasons" are of course partial. So counterintuitively - Infinite Love! You see when God uncovers its own trick it realizes it is Infinite. It falls in love with Itself when it realizes what it truly is again. Because Infinity and Love are identical.

Why would you limit Infinity. It has been. It's Infinity. But Infinity also includes every possible finitude. Right now what you are is one of those. You can shift to the whole thing as well.

Brilliant
