@Phrenic yes regarding his quote above - this is where you essentially eliminate any bias or leaning towards a particular finite form or self. You just remain in a state of selflessness. That would include eating and drinking.. But here one must be careful that it is not the ego secretly shifting bias So this also means it will expedite the "death" of the finite form or the finite mind in which consciousness has been localized. This "self" which is imaginary, will very quickly cease when all bias is removed. If there is still any attachment to form - or to formlessness - then this will not happen. So I do not necessarily mean "physical" death, which is also imaginary.

@CBDinfused think of these as different facets of the same Truth. They are facets of the Absolute while simultaneously they are the Absolute. And you can become conscious of one facet of the Absolute while not become conscious of another facet. That doesn't mean you didn't awaken to the Absolute.

Love ya yeah i figured you were kidding...BTW my advice is drop the Iphone and go with android!!

They exist at separate coordinates in the dimension of space otherwise they would be one phone

@Brivido good stuff.

@Naked Paradox the very first non-dual experience i had was the same exact scenario (down to the tee) and was instantaneous as was yours. It was a state of consciousness so Divine that no words could ever do it justice. It didn't last long but i was fully conscious that this was a state that was reserved for the Divine. No need to do anything different...you're on your way

This trips a lot of folks up but Nothing and Consciousness and Infinity are all identical. Consciousness is what you get when you remove all limitations (Infinity). You get a nothing that is everything...you get mind - as there is nothing to ground it - it is itself. So you get appearance without substance.

Exactly. Its just one infinite Mind imagining shit. That's it. All divisions are imagined by this Mind.

As soon as you stop imagining me i cease to exist. Furthermore, as soon as you stop imagining that you are the small you, it also ceases to exist and you will be infinite Consciousness.

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.
