There is no difference between you and me - that duality ultimately must break down - they can be used interchangeably.

@Gesundheit well as crazy as it sounds its happening through your/my infinite intelligence right now but through that same infinite intelligence your also limiting yourself so that you are not conscious of that - if you were, reality would dematerialize and you wouldn't be able to have such realism. So you lose yourself in your own mind.

@Gesundheit nah..i became conscious of it via meditation. I should add that when what i mean by all one is not just your finite mind but that you are Infinite Mind. I think the general consensus on solipsism is that all there is is the finite mind or ego mind. That's not what we are pointing to here but many may misunderstand that.

Its even more radical. Its completely one. You're imagining that there are other bubbles. Just as right now i am imagining that you are not imaginary.

@Someone here it can feel like your going insane when you have no certainty about anything. When you lose your ground so to speak. When you can't be sure about anything. This is the underlying cause for OCD. This can cause you to doubt everything. This is very unpleasant for the ego and can trigger anxiety because the ego needs reality to have a ground - and wants to believe it has everything figured out. But when you can't tell the difference between what's real/true or not real/true anymore it can cause you to lose your grip on reality. You can also feel like your going insane when everything you thought was true is recontextualized and revealed as something else entirely. Especially if its big enough where your whole identity is tied to it. Such as being a scientist your whole life and then realizing there is no objective reality... best example i can give on that though is when during a state of what you can call God Consciousness i became conscious that all of reality was never separate from me, that all others are me, and that as God i was imagining it all. This shatters and radically recontextualizes everything and can definitely make the ego feel like its going insane because its sense of identity is wrapped up in the sense of self vs others.

Well you don't need awakening... But if you want Truth then it can be known for certain. Right now you are in a traditional, what you could call normal, dualistic state of consciousness - as am i - but with awakening you will access a non-dual Infinitely higher state of consciousness. That's the claim anyway - up to you to find out if its true.

No you can have total understanding of the nature of reality through awakening. And there will be no denying it...

How could it exist outside how it is being held within your consciousness right now? Might need to apply some intuition here to get it - The Big Bang actually exists as a thought in your mind, and it's impossible to exist any other way.

And you know this for certain?

I know what you meant. That is all relative as well - but yes there is difference in being conscious of Absolute Truth and embodiment of Truth to the fullest degree "possible" as a finite being. Yet be wary - even that is relative. Youre making a relative assumption that saving that person's life in the moment is the "right" thing to do when right and wrong are relative. As @EddieEddie1995 pointed out what if the mugger was angry with the victim for raping his daughter and you enter the situation blindly only with your own relative assumptions and kill the mugger whose daughter had just been raped by the victim? You see - what we are pointing you towards is a meta perspective, that's all.

Screw belief become Infinity!

@EddieEddie1995 great response That is so true - infinity often works in ways we as the finite are unable to see from our current vantage point.

As this human You're dreaming you are, you are finite. That is how you can be a self at all and "separate" from the world in which there exists "danger" that "you" would then calculate avoiding. Danger is only relative to a self. God or the Selfless has to create danger for it to even exist.

Well ironically if you were absolutely void of fear and were totally selfless you would be dead. Even the Buddha or Jesus, while they existed as the Buddha and Jesus were not 100 percent sefless until they ceased to exist.

I'm not saying I would not try to intervene if i felt i could make a difference with the individual- in the moment i hope that i would if the situation looked like there was a possibility..but If i told you i would have no fear whatsoever that would be a lie. My ego still has a strong survival need. When i am immersed in the dream it is very real just as is during a night time dream. Of course in a moment like that there is no time for fear - just adrenaline... My point was that at the same time recklessness is not going to be wise either.

@CBDinfused discovering its a dream metaphysically and that its one literally - actually gives you more compassion not less. But in some cases trying to show compassion to a devil is foolhardy. If someone has a gun to someone i don't think walking up to them and telling them its all Love is going to help.

You are experiencing "you" precisely so that you could experience "you"!!!! You as God are the Infinite dreamer. Don't get wrapped up in imagining you will be hitler - hitler is just content in this dream.

@Ray you're gonna wake up when it's time brother. And however you get there is how you get there. Its spontaneous -(and not) because the ego doesn't wake up - God does.

@Raphael welcome home. There is no difference between you and me. That is something you are imagining. And i am imagining that you are imagining me.

Yeah but you haven't broken out of the dream yet so this all still at the level of concept for you Once you have actually broken out of the dream you will realize it's a hundred times more enjoyable than before you knew it was a dream

Lol..he was a previously and once again banned user - dont waste your time

@soularlight I'm not sure where it started that enlightenment brings happiness and an end to suffering. Enlightenment is simply the realization that the you you believed you were is an illusion. When it is realized the illusion collapses leaving Being or Actuality. This is what is referred to as mystical because Being is prior to any type of conceptual realization which is still being made by the ego mind, wherein enlightenment is the collapse of the ego mind. Thats pretty much it. There is bliss with this realization because you are one with reality itself...the best way to put it is you ARE reality. This isn't some special state as people confuse it with the ego seeking something - it is actually the complete lack of ego. it just is what it is.

@Focus Shift the groundless ground.....the gateless gate

@SamC it may have been the start of something that was quickly squashed by the ego's defense mechanisms. You won't have to ask us anything when it actually happens.

@SM-OConnor yeah when what you thought was real your whole life is recontextualized into that of a dream - um, the shock of the realization and the shock of realizing its been just you the whole time - umm..there are no words for that. But it does get better. And the miracle of awakening is just something that can't be put into words either. Its beyond this world - literally
