@PataFoiFoi it's able to dumb itself down. This is one of the most ignenius things that Infinite Conscioisness can do. It has the ability to dumb itself down to the point where it is completely fooled.

What is before you is all that there is. So if you are not conscious that you are God, you are not God. There's no "prior to you still are God" ..that's something your imagining right now about the Absolute. This must be Total otherwise reality could not be what it is.

Appearance is all there is.

Thats false. The Divine puts itself to sleep precisely to experience the Love of Realizing itself "again". Of course there is no again it is always the present moment. But that is precisely what allows God to realize itself forever

Have some fun with the story...there is powerful mysticism with the ancient enlightened beings, even if you are all of them and imagining them all...btw..I've read your experiences of God but have you truly become conscious that you are the Divine in an awakening?

@Carl-RichardAnd don't forget Moses and the Jewish mystics

@Carl-Richard beautifully put.

@Someone here just feel through them, experience them fully. Eventually you will have had enough of them. What else can you do? Its obviously something causing you tremendous anxiety and fear that you've suppressed. But if you fully expose yourself to it and go THROUGH it, you will realize there was nothing really to fear and it was all your imagination.

@Nahm @Leo Gura do i see an Actualized.org hunting trip on the horizon? How's the game in Vegas ?

@Forza21 some teachers want to sugarcoat spirituality. But you have to remember that the Truth will literally kill you. Which is precisely why the ego wants to stay asleep in the dream.

Indeed I have experienced the same state in the awakening I call the oneness facet. It will feel like madness.. It is when you realize everything is you or a function of your own mind.. it is definitely an expanded state of consciousness and there is no sense of separation (thus a non-dual state). As you said you can barely function because self/other dualiry collapses and the ego has no identity of its own at that point because there is literally no difference between self and other.

This...also keep in mind that even we don't "actually" have consciousness..consciousness has us. Its being imagined we are "self" conscious and that consciousness happens in the brain. So robots that get so intelligent they are indistinguishable from us could happen and it would be imagined that they are conscious just at a different layer of imagination.

@Bob Seeker Oneness and Love are identical

@Tim R beautiful. Running definitely is great for the Mind

@Michal__ just don't take anything he says on faith. Whatever he teaches you try to validate in your own direct experience.

Of course. We are you.

Enlightenment to me is the moment Infinity/God, after getting lost in its own mind, has the realization that it is in fact God. Small self drops. You have talked about it in some of your posts.

@Khan 0 yes that's why i said you are already enlightened. Yet telling a student this isn't really going to help him if he hasn't become conscious of it directly for himself

Yes you are God so in that sense you are already enlightened - but your not in the sense that you are not conscious of it.

Good advice. Did you awaken to no self ? You seem advanced so I was curious.

You were never actually finite. Even if it seems that way - you have imagined that you are and fooled yourself into believing it is real. So it becomes real for you. It seems paradoxical but that's a feature not a bug. That's infinity.

Yes ..if you mean wiping the slate clean...like when you start this life at birth.

It is this. If you have forgotten that you are God you are still God you have just fooled yourself. You can stay fooled for as long as you want to experience being finite. Just like you fool yourself in a dream yet you are generating the dream from nowhere. It's impossibly possible.

You don't need to do self inquiry anymore once you have awakened to the facet of no self. But you will know when you have this awakening so you won't have to ask. If you are asking should I keep going then you should probably keep going. You may know conceptually that the entity behind the eyes you think you are is illusory but you need to know it at the level of Being..which will be your death.

@RMQualtrough what are you confused about..it is One and it works exactly as a dream. The problem is this is too radical. Truth is going to be Truth though, regardless of whether or not us egos like it.
