Yah you can look at is awareness is exploring itself from an Infinite number of angles simultaneously - but the substance is nothing. Nothing permeates through everything, such that there is nothing happening right now.

You are talking to someone who was the biggest athiest that ever lived my man - materialism bothered me since i was a kid but i was a total athiest. And i went with the materialist paradigm..so I was shocked when i discovered this stuff was the real deal. I would never have believed it if i didn't hit mystical states of consciousness in 2018 from Meditation / self inquiry.

Yah or just do self inquiry. You aint awake. Sorry to pull a Leo but you ain't That doesn't make me better. Isness is isness.

You are missing something very important here. Being! You see you can directly know the answer - but not via proof - by BEING reality itself! Absolute Truth is prior to proof. In a state of pure Being you can become directly Infinity itself - in which you become directly conscious of yourself. And in doing so you have the realization that infinity (you) are the collapse of all dualities - the collapse of everthing and nothing. Nothing is everything. Just pure infinity or pure Awareness. So what you get is a hologram for reality - or a mind - or consciousness - or this! The substance of which is nothing. And you realize that physical objects behind the scene are all imaginary and held within your consciousness. Proof is not needed nor could it ever grasp the Absolute - because you ARE it.

There is a huge difference because the nature of reality - which is your true nature - is an Absolute - because you are the Absolute.. We are trying to guide you towards awakening to the Absolute but the work has to be done by you. That said i know you already are know this are already planning a retreat so i know you are on the path so just keep the mind open

Very true

There is the appearance of consistency - it seems like this is the part that is tripping you up...you mentioned it in a few other posts. Such as when you look away from the moon and then look back it is still in the same spot. But don't let that trip ya up into thinking there is a physical layer somewhere. That's the work of an Infinite Mind.

And what if you discovered there was no you - but that you are an idea?

Think about it. Even if there could be an object just floating out there with no one conscious of it - then there is no difference between it existing or not existing. It's just Being. So this should bother you. Just like the old "if tree falls in the forest with no one around does it make a sound" Refrigerators are nothing until you imagine they are. And anything you say is outside of Infinity is Infinity imagining that it is outside of itself.

You can become directly conscious that there cannot be anything independent of Consciousness, because Consciousness is Infinite. So, for there to be materialism, there would need to be something outside of Infinity.

@Someone here nice one

@r0ckyreed yes and you also are shifting your consciousness. Awakening is a radical shift in consciousness.

The answer is Infinity but that probably doesn't do much for you. But it's like asking why is there something rather than nothing. Infinity is a strange loop. You are Pure Infinity but at the same time you are finite. Something IS nothing.

I will PM you but meditation can work.

@r0ckyreed nicely said. Another way to say it is it is exactly like a dream. All others, everything in the dream Is being held within your Consciousness. This can be directly realized by waking up. Now - stating this, and becoming directly conscious of it, are two very very different things. When you actually become conscious of this it will really drop you to your fucking knees. Not saying you haven't - but damn its one hell of a realization.

@r0ckyreed Young jedi - sit cross legged. Pull out your hand. Notice Actuality. Stare at one of the fingers. Then shift perspective to the whole hand, becoming conscious that the finger is and was always the hand - but thinking it is a finger. Shift back and forth. Finger - Hand - Finger - Hand.. Feel Being becoming stronger and stronger until you and Being become one!

Not necessarily. One can become Pure Awareness and then the finite ego returns and has a memory of it. The memory, of course, isn't IT. But ultimately due to Oneness there is only one thing here all the time. There is only Awareness and all there ever was was Awareness. It just tricks itself into thinking it is the ego, only to wake up to itself, then back into the trick but now different because it remembers what it is. Its just a game God plays with itself.

Depersonalization can be a consequence. In my case i experienced it but it was not permament. This is serious stuff.

You can - actually. I've never touched them and i had miraculous awakenings via self inquiry and concentration/do nothing techniques. Not saying this would happen for the average person though. I can only tell you from my own POV that it is possible.

@justfortoday and the Jedi is the mystic

Thanks long time no speak brother

I like the quotes because that's exactly right. There is no more "I"

Correct that is Infinity. But have you become directly conscious of Infinity by becoming Pure Infinity of Pure Actuality?

Because you are God. Have you become conscious of Infinity?

Ive seen your recent posts and you get it. You have Actuality and Pure Being down and have transcended materialism. That's awesome.. What i am saying is that there are other facets of the Absolute that you can become conscious of. There is more to go.
