Take out your hand and choose a finger to focus on. Become conscious it is the finger. Now shift your consciousness. Look at the finger again but shift and expand it. See the finger as the entire hand but do not remove your gaze from the finger. Just become conscious that it is the whole hand. That is universal consciousness. You are both the finger and the hand simultaneously.

True Personality = ego - devil. Have fun taking the devil out of the ego and leaving pure Love and creativity. You'll need an awakening.

@outlandish you may be romanticizing your past. Making it out to be much better than it really was from your present. It's just a concept in your mind now and your ego will try to torture you with the map and not the territory. Not that it wasn't good - but your mind only remembers the good. When it happens try to bring yourself back to the present - because that's all you have. The rest is illusion.

You would need an awakening to Oneness. You could still do it but you would be tricking yourself the entire time.

Thats what i was referring to as well. Going to bars for beers and pickup. After becoming conscious of certain "Absolutes" this becomes meaningless. Relativity aside you will become more conscious and look for deeper connections to reality.

@Joseph Maynor Oh the secret weapon - relativity - well done

Actually no that's still being the ego. Once you reach a certain state of consciousness certain things become meaningless.

@mandyjw if you were conscious that you were all of reality would that bring you value?

@Aakash it's just a complete understanding of everything simultaneously and instantaneously. Language doesn't do it justice.

@Aakash it takes multiple enlightenments or mystical experiences. I did not become conscious of Oneness until my final awakening. I experienced the Dark knight of the Soul on two. Oneness, and the first which was that i was ultimately zero - a hologram - pure consciousness.

I can tell you the answer but I'm not sure if you are gonna like it. You aren't stabilizing yet because your consciousness has not expanded enough to be consciousness of Oneness directly. You know it conceptually. But that's different than full dual/non-dual awareness simultaneously. I wish @abrakamowse really did have enlightenment in a bottle. I would buy one for you.

Haha. At you're very core you are a paradox. A loop. Infinite consciousness is free of the loop (at the same time not) but the finite mind is not. (Although it takes a certain level of consciousness to even be aware of the loop). So i understand your paradox here. As far as embodying all of God like qualities you are correct. The highest Truth is Love which means lack of violence or need for the survival of the ego. Death of human form is embraced. So that's correct. In a tribal scenario the trap would be to kill the enemy to survive your ego. That is not the highest enlightenment. So yes the highest trap is relative of course.

Moving all of consciousness forward IS the meaning of embodying God. You have already become God consciousness at this point. This is post awakening. Remember not to get lost in non-duality.

@Gili Trawangan yes there are still traps after enlightenment. One must continually deepen their enlightenment. The awakened must never stray from spirituality. For it is within spirituality that the enlightened one can find their higher life purpose - or divine purpose. Not the individual egoic life purpose but the collective one. This is fueled from a love for reality, and the burning desire to advance mankind and the entire universe forward. To elevate the collective consciousness of all of mankind. This could be through teaching, creating, politics, etc. That is the highest purpose of the enlightened - and the highest trap is yielding to the relentless pull of the ego away from this goal.

@Bryanbrax When you awaken you will most likely hit the floor in awe of the sheer Infinite power and Love of God. Your jaw will drop in awe and you will probably ball your eyes out in pure divine bliss.

@Aakash understand that consciousness is infinite and how it can elevate is irrelevant to that it can elevate. There is the normal human level of consciousness and then there is God consciousness. You ARE all of it. It is just a matter of what part of it you are being at the moment. Thus meditation and pyschedelics are identical and indistinguishable.

@Aakash yes exaxtly. Don't be distracted by the knowledge you gained from "Leo" - for he is you. But you stand on the shoulders of Giants - Giants which are ultimately you. That is the highest realizaton. Total Oneness. But to get there you must first dissolve form - Aakash must die. You cannot see the Trinity until you mystically move outside the Trinity - or become it - that which you already are. For some self inquiry and contemplation is all that is needed. For others it must be combined with pyschedelics.

@Aakash God is infinite intelligence. its so infinite that it both knows itself and needs to know itself simultaneously. It already knows and loves itself and needs to experience its own love simultaneously.

That's what we have been saying all along...the highest Truth or realization is that it is indistinguishable.

Do not seek and ye shall find

Beautifully said!

What you are doing here is saying that all spiritual teachers - Adyashanti, Sadghuru, Leo and many others are prosletyzers...when it has been beaten over the head to you that Truth is not a belief - and when a spiritual teacher explains Truth, such as for example the Absolute Truth of the nature of reality and tells you not to take it as dogma that they are all proselytizing. If someone here is teaching when they shouldn't be - trust me they will be weeded out and banned. I have seen it happen here with my own eyes. Eventually they will ban themselves. From your POV Truth is just a belief. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be saying the things you are saying - because you would be enlightened. Only 1% of the population is enlightened. So ofcourse it is going to be belief to you. That doesn't mean spiritual teachers are prosletyzers...

Thanks for the reminder but what i mean is even in duality that's not the case..form is essentially nothing. But if you mean relative to a materialist then yes i get you.

@Nahm God already knows he is God but he is the only thing there is so he keeps re-knowing (not even sure that's a word but if not i just invented it) himself to eternity

@Aakash "It is possible in omniscient, to be conscious enough to reside in a true non-dual state and make your own decisions. That's what i experienced anyway. it is a constant state of contemplation and rewiring your metaphysical knowledge as you would be the only one in the whole world. To constantly be in this state is meditation. its the opposite of no -mind bliss, its mind bliss. " That may be your ego deluding you..because a non-dual state you are God minus the ego. But yes i agree that even if one could reside in a permanent non-dual state, which they can't, it is God's intention to realize that duality IS non-duality and that creating and Love is where it's at..moving all of humanity and all beings and the universe forward. All of it is nirvana.
