God can't remember without forgetting.

@Intraplanetary seems to me like you are pressing too hard...just relax and be. You may be going through a dark night of the soul type of phase where you are doubting your own mind and questioning the glimpses of awakening you are getting. This is normal and It will pass. Yes spirituality is a deconstructive process but at the same time it has to happen spontaneously and not come from a selfish desire of the ego... So relax. Be at peace. As you are doing your meditation practices one day it may happen out of the blue. And you shall awaken from this dream. Its all good either way. But as they say, before awakening chop wood, after awakening chop wood. You will ultimately return to the dream only now it will be magical and more wonderful than ever before. You will feel the Love of Oneness. So don't let spirituality take you down a path of isolation -- don't overthink stuff, and enjoy life!

Ofocurse...we are way beyond the you..yes we are talking about Being. Language is limited. But Being IS. Nothing IS.

You couldn't answer the question as i feared, and you are regurgitating other teachings. When you wanna describe your experience of nothing feel free. Simply said..this is nothing right here - but one must realize this by dying.

@James123 and yet you are obsessed with teachings of Nothing. I am not doing that. I was the most skeptical of all... Answer me this...in your moment of Nothing what happened? What was experienced?

@Bacher it's real. Yeah realizing that it's real is the most epic thing ever. I remember when i had my first mystical experience. I called a friend of mine that was a psychic and exclaimed "holy shit you were right all along it's fucking real!!" To this day i don't think she understood because i realize now that she was a fake haha. She just said oh yeah how did you come to that conclusion?

And from your posts you have yet to be come fully conscious that everything is nothing. You are still creating a duality between nothing and everything.

@Johnathan Gautam careful not to turn this into a belief less you become lost in your own mind. Do the work then come back and let us know how you feel when you have awakened. - God

Fox fired a bunch of folks so get ready.

Yes. It is Inifnity. Any finite reason you give is but an aspect of the whole. Therefore it has nowhere to go but to BE. Aka Being. Being is Love. But that is total selflessness and total acceptance of everything.

@Eren Eeager i can - yes because i know OCD like the back of my hand Just PM me

@BipolarGrowth gotchya yeah but that question - whether consciousness has cut off access to itself to its other finite partitions and is one consciousness experiencing itself from an infinite number of possible vantage points simultaneously, or whether this partition is all there is for you until you take another partition in which case you will, for example, literally be me typing this reply to you. So it collapses as a duality because it is still you regardless and you will experience everything.. without exception...so whether I'm being both me and you now and it is happening simultaneously or not, doesn't really matter because i AM you. And you are me. So the question collapses. But don't take anything I'm saying as a belief of course

@Vision what may be happening here is that you are taking these teachings and turning them into a belief...this can lead you down a very bad path. You have not had any mystical experiences yet to show you that you are alone as God - so for you it ain't true or actual for you. Throw it all away and throw spirituality away for now and tend to your ego. You can always come back to it later when and if you want awakening...then and only then put in the actual spiritual practices to discover what is actual for YOU...not what I say or what Leo says or anyone else here.

Yes, with enough work and years behind you, you can become God or God Awareness and realize that they, as well as the person you think you are, are in fact both being imagined by you, the One - the formless One. You said it yourself that all is held wthin your consciousness so stop backtracking. Your IT.

@BipolarGrowth you're the only game in town. But the magic of Consciousness is that whatever it imagines is real becomes so.

A mystical experience of Oneness will cause that on its own. And it happened for me with meditation - not even psychedelics. The ego must die to experience Oneness.

@Ry4n damn dude maybe pull a few punches next time

Correct. And the Self = the Selfless.

@BipolarGrowth non-duality, or reality, transcends solipsism. Its bigger than just the ego being all there is. You are formless Consciousness or Infinity - taking different forms. Imagine it like one big video game in which you are the creator of the game and the game itself. As the game you can then experience it from any aspect of the game or POV. So once you shift to that POV where is the rest of the game? It seems like it would be real and separate from you right? But that's exactly what it takes to make the game become real for you. In reality It only exists from that POV. It has shrunken down in dualistic terms. But then it can expand to the whole thing where you can shift to the entire game and then look down at the game from the developers POV. You can experience the game by zooming into the game from an infinite amount of angles and an infinite amount of vantage points. In which you will, ultimately. But its still one game which exists magically - nowhere.

@nexusoflife what can you can say to this other than welcome home. That was probably the best trip report hands down ever posted here. All i can say is - welcome to Yourself. Welcome to the unity of all beings - of all Infinity. Of Truth, Love, Oneness, and Divine Bliss. Welcome to Godhood.

@Tim R your issue is not with the distinctions themselves but with one's bias towards one or the other. Take the attachment or bias out of it and just look at it from a completey selfless vantage point - as everything in the world of form is relative, or it is distinctions. The key is to reaching such a vantage point is to understand Oneness and that all distinctions must collapse. When you become conscious of this you can release bias or attachment (which is ego) towards any one distinction or one particular level of consciousness. At that point you are free to make distinctions - because afterall in formed reality (ie the dream) - all is relative. So realize that this post is evidence of your own bias.

Yeah that is exactly right. Joe is in the materialist paradigm but it's like his intuition his pushing him towards breaking out but he's too attached to his own life to ever give it a shot. Though maybe one day on enough psychedelics....:) Good stuff bro.

Haha...I would not go out of your way to please people either...just do your thing but with compassion...and of course its in your head. Where else could it be?

@ConsciousOwl10 you are growing more conscious. One of the obstacles you will run into as you move up the spiral (if we wanna use spiral dynamics but we could also use the stages of ego development or just a growth in consciousness) is how to interact with those below you on the spiral. And the answer is they are you. When you advance a stage you still encompass the stages below. So part of your growth is to not shun those at a different level of consciousness. This is probably the trickiest minefield to maneuver along the path.

That's just your stinky image ?
