Your efforts are not a joke. But you do realize that to actually become conscious of Truth you as the ego must die right? This isn't like a project you do for work in which there are phases to completion. Oh no - spirituality is much more nuanced than that. Your entire life is on the line. So one can have all the concepts in the world but that must all collapse at the point of Being. There is nothing for you to attain you see? You just have to become directly aware that you are awareness and not a self. Then the floodgates to other realizations will open.

There is no mistaking Infinity because you become it. And it will be Absolute Certainty. Infinite Intelligence. So it sounds like this is intuition guiding you. Maybe its time to try psychedelics. Your ego is probably still in the way. The ego thinking "why is this so hidden" is pushing you deeper into the illusion and farther away from Truth - that's actually a form of ego defense. The ego needs to be overwhelmed completely or taken off guard.

The ego is what is imaginary. God/Infinity/Pure Consciousness enlightens itself. Or you can say God wakes up to itself. You will know the Absolute when you become it.

I mean both are subjective. You are not consciously thinking "that guy isn't real" in a dream. It's just happening from your perspective.

Not really. Contemplate closely. There isn't as much contrast as you think between the two.

That's right - but newsflash - you can wake up from the waking dream! Actually you will care more because you have become conscious of Oneness and maybe even Love! Love encompasses compassion. And when you go back to sleep you are completely bought into the dream!

Your thoughts of other's perceptions still lay nested within your own perception. This can be shown to you by yourself as God.

How so? Right now in the relative you exist to me. Yet from the Absolute perspective i know you are but a projection of my mind. Again - from my relative perspective you are real as fuck. Which is what makes reality so real - distinctions. If it weren't for distinctions there could not be a reality such as this.

Here is the mindfuck. What is being conscious other than what you imagine another person to be. Another being's consciousness is yet another idea in your mind - and ultimately an idea in the Mind of God.

Indeed. Who is disputing this? Are you worried or wondering about another being actually being conscious when they speak to you?

What is proof of anything? Proof in its entirety is finite and relative. The relative cannot grasp the Absolute. Because proof require others. The Absolute is total Oneness. The point is all distinctions ultimately break down. The distinction between self and other - between you and me - they are illusory or imaginary and must collapse. This can't be grasped from the ego it requires God mode And God will dream and infinite number of dreams for that is Inifnity.

@BipolarGrowth There is always Consciousness. But finite consciousness can forget what it had for breakfast. It doesn't matter because Absolutely speaking there is only the present moment. Only right now.

To rediscover that it is Absolute. Collectively as a society. Over and over. Just like if you won a game of Monopoly and then wiped the board clean and started again.

@Tim R the others had some really good answers for ya. It really doesn't matter if he was enlightened or not. If you were to wonder though, it would really depend on what you consider enlightenment to be - it's relative. If you consider enlightenment to be accessing non-dual states of consciousness - aka mystical experiences - (samadhi) that accompany realizations of various facets of the Absolute - then yes you can be enlightened as a mofo and your ego can still be addicted to stuff. Because the ego completely dissolves during such states. If you consider enlightenment to be fully embodying Being all the time - even as the ego -and thus abiding in it even back in duality - (in which case the individual works to purify their ego by vanquishing addiction and other things that can trap the ego and mask suffering with "pleasure". This is really where the real work comes in. It takes a lot of inner work and strength to embody God on an everyday basis and not give in to the ego's selfishness. But typically it will tend to be a lot easier and even completely natural to beat these things for someone who has accessed mystical states of consciousness, because these people tend to be pretty conscious as it is of what is real and what is illusory.

What are you waiting for

@blankisomeone because you as God are dreaming a particular dream that adheres to a certain rule set. Other people are just part of that dream. When you become directly conscious that you yourself as the ego are an idea - that is when you as God will awaken from your own dream.

something infinite can forget that it is infinite which would make it finite relative to that perspective. Relatively it is finite but Absolutely speaking it is still infinite.

Pure Infinity has no form.

Infinity. You are yourself. There is no where to go. When you become directly conscious of this that is enlightenment.

Remember in Leos "what is perception" video he discusses the ego co-opting consciousness. Well in this case there is no one co-opting consciousness it is just Consciousness dreaming.

Excellent. Then keep up the spiritual work Practice makes perfect. Now for me it took a week of meditation. But for you, since you have put in so much work - why don't you take 5-MeO and just demolish the ego. Do not fuck around if you want awakening at this stage. If you want to experience God.

@Patrick Lynam listen to Leo. But do the work and discover directly. These guys don't know shit about shit.

It is. I knew during enlightenment that it was the same thing and yet if that were the case everyone suffering from depersonalization would be awake. So clearly there is an element lacking.

there is no one to see an end - and yet its like you are still in there somewhere locked away trying to break through. Lkke sleep paralysis only with sleep paralysis there is still a you.
