@Nahm pi? Wow we are a mathematical bunch!

This in itself may have helped. These things can sometimes run deep in the subconscious mind and eventually after beating it to death with, for example CBT like they use to treat OCD (just an example) the mind gets tired of it and realizes it has to let it go..so going through it experientially can in itself can be a healing process..

God creates through form and loves form. He has made himself forget what he is so that he can experience remembering who he is through form. That is his greatest gift to himself. If you walked off a cliff you would be pure Infinity and everthing and nothing all at once. But you wouldn't be able to experience yourself and know yourself through a linear fashion or experientially. I use "him" loosely as God is all things and language is limited. So when you die before you die (ego death) you discover that you are God in form and can live as that - embody it.

Or 1 - God!

@AlphaAbundance this has been asked a few times in the past..but why does it matter? Even if you had a spreadsheet listing these down...what good what that do you on your own path? It's not like Truth can be proven in any way because proof is something Truth actually imagines. So it would just be a piece of paper with some stats on it. On who is more awake than another..seems like it might defeat the purpose of what is being taught here?

@Arzack thanks for the pychoanalysis i will contemplate this deeply.

Why so hostile? Its mysticsm. It happened to me during meditation. No one is asking you to believe us. Its very hard to believe because its actually not a belief. But because 99.9 percent of the population hasn't awoken yet or had a mystical experiences - then of course its going to seem crazy. Those of us that have been the Absolute and know the Truth will be demonized as crazy or insane. One just can't be locked into the materialist paradigm - and do the work - which is so rare. And why so few have awoken. I was a materialist at one time. Hope I wasn't getting off main topic of thread

Umm..you ARE reality. And you can know this directly by fucking being the damn thing.

There's no going back when you wake up to this reality being a dream. But you are so much more conscious than before that looking at your life before is a friggin joke.

It's selfishness. Lose the self and lose suffering. The fear of death evaporates because there is no one to die.

I concur with all that you have said. I would just add that all beings are God (enlightened) but not all beings are conscious that they are God. God is indeed pure Being. Becoming conscious that they are God is when consciousness becomes conscious that it is consciousness and a mystical oneness occurs. Thus being and knowing are paradoxically entangled due to oneness. It cannot escape its own Infinity.

It comes down to this. Meaning is relative from the Absolute perspective. But there are Absolutes. Absolute Love and Goodness. Once one becomes conscious of the Absolute the Absolute will guide them in the domain of the relative. The Absolute lives through the relative.

Shift your consciousness - being you is Infinity doing Infinity! This is Infinity right here! Someone HAS to be you..and its you! You can know - its waking up. In which you do collapse one possibility (your finitude) into the superposition (infinity)

You can discover that time is being imagined by Infinite Consciousness aka God. So it exists in the relative domain. The Absolute is just nowness, isness, the present moment. So time exists within the Absolute as something it is imagining. Infinity or the Absolute is a shapeshifter so fundamentally it is nothing. Of course as always don't take anyone's word or take this as a belief. Discover whats True for yourself. The ultimate is to discover you are the whole thing.

@Raw Nature nice words. Its like God. God has nowhere to go because it's already everywhere. It has to create the illusion of going somewhere by forgetting it is everywhere.

@Anton Rogachevski you can't grasp the infinite from the finite. But as infinity you make the finite.

@Llight When you realize the very top is relative...you have hit the very top. Or have you? At that juncture the very top becomes meaningless. But that is from the Absolute POV. We must create our meaning based on consensus since formed reality is absolutely relative. And my vote is my man @Serotoninluv is a solid turquoise...heed his words carefully ❤??

Hehe..nothing... can't keep me from a good steak ??

Thanks. ?

@Red-White-Light Yeah when I had my awakening experiences I knew instantaneously that it was the same thing - i was like holy fuck this is Depersonalization! however i believe it is lacking the Bliss and the Love and the realizations that come with enlightenment and the elevated consciousness levels. Shinzen Young calls it enlightenment's evil twin because it's like only half the story.

i wouldn't think his current mental or physical healfh would have anything to do with his philosophy or worldview. I hope gets back on his feet it sounds like he is going through a really tough time. Who knows maybe it will counter intuitively lead him to enlightenment.

The movie projector really is a great analogy so I'm not gonna recreate the wheel. But if you take a movie reel and see it as One - that's God in its purest form. This is everything at once as pure potential. So from that sense it knows itself all at once. But it doesn't know itself experientially. But in order to know itself experientially it needs to play through each slide in a linear fashion. This will go on forever, since it is Infinite. And the dance of Consciousness is the dividing of itself into the separate slides and then unifying back with the whole reel which goes on forever as well.

I think it was accurate, having been in many relationships over the years. Us men are much more explicit then implicit. We want things spelled out to us and we are extremely literal. A lot of times i find myself saying to my wife "but you said such and such" and she says "well that's not what i meant" or something along those lines lol. So you have to get better at this part of your thinking in order to get better at understanding a woman's perspective. And thats the key - being able to jump between perspectives and going meta. Women on the other hand are much more intuitive. They read between the lines of what the guy is saying. They sense body language, the can sense the guys level of confidence and goodness etc. Not that they can't be wrong, hehe. Happens all the time. But the point is they go with what they feel intuitively more than from the words that they hear coming from the guy. Dont get me wrong - explicit still plays a role. If you come up to her and say something completely stupid it probably will backfire on you pretty quick.

@arlin. The point of the journey is to discover who you really are. Once the Absolute is discovered all will flow naturally. Absolute Love and Goodness will guide you.

Its such a great question. God was tripping ballz when he made the ego..i.e. you were trippin ballz lol. But seriously... Its all survival my friend - and fear is survival Survival is selfishnes. Pleasure is survival. Depression left unchecked will kill you. If God put limits on the ego it would be selfish of him. And we'de probably all be dead. From God's POV it doesn't matter because its all Love and it is experiencing itself through you.
