Can you see that this and what is happening right now is indistinguishable. That's Infinity. @Mindfang413 As was mentioned earlier a few things. Talk to a therapist. Look into pyschedelics as a possible treatment option if you are feeling depression for long bouts it could be clinical depression and there is now medical treatment offered using pyschedelics.

@Rasheed what worked for me is inquiring into what i was, actually. Realizing i wasn't the body or the brain. Realizing what i truly was i could not pin down in form anywhere. Just that i thought i was this entity behind the eyes. I recommend listening to Leo's enlightenment videos in order.

@VeganAwake Something that is one thing can't point back at itself because the very thing that it is using to point back at itself is itself. The self reference problem. It just is itself. It has to realize it just is itself!

Yes I've always said that it is God waking up to itself. ❤? Regardless we will run up against paradox here because of Oneness.

Its really pretty simple. You are infinity. Infinity is everything and nothing. Nothing cancels everything out. So what you have is a hallucination. There is no difference therefore between real and hallucination. Hallucination is all there is. And hallucination is nothing. Everything is nothing means duality is non-duality.

He is the beggar. He is the King. He is both. He is neither. He is everything. He is nothing. He Is.

@actualizing25 by just Being. Being is prior to logic. Being = Love

@actualizing25 yes you can. You can have a full blown mystical experience while just meditating.

@Aaron p there are multiple ways to skin a cat. For me, asking the question "what am I, really?" Is what worked. One has to break through the illusion of seeing themselves as this entity behind the eyes. It is deeply ingrained in us.

And as a bonus you got to keep your limbs! Win win!

You would probably pass out from the shock first

Yes it may have been a non-dual state or a state of pure Being which is blissful. It just didn't accompany any particular realization..as in you were the experience. (That you are pure awareness)

@WisdomSeeker how else can we communicate but through duality?

@Average Investor Shinzen Young calls it enlightenment's evil twin. I have experienced it by itself and also after an awakening. It is as @StephenK says. Its half baked enlightenment because it is the dissolution of the self, but it is not God realization. (Or realization of your true nature or Self with a capital S) Enlightenment is both.

And there are Absolutes. Good vs evil collapse into the Absolute Good. Love vs hate collapse into the Absolute Love, etc. Relativity collapses into the Absolute.

As @Serotoninluv states it is a relative question as all things are relative in the realm of form. So it is indeed based on perspective. From your finite POV it is totally up to you whether you should pursue awakening. You have been blessed to have been shown the path and now it is up to you to pursue. Remember - you ARE God. So it matters through you. I wasn't implying it didn't matter from the Absolute perspective, i was saying it didn't matter through which perspectives. My relative take is that it will improve your life beyond measure but it is not without going through painful ego backlash. The ego does not go quietly into the night. But the reward outweighs the cost. Yet i digress and do not want to go off topic ??

@WisdomSeeker the path is there but not every finite being is going to find it or be able to find it. What i am saying is it matters not from God's perspective. You as God actually want to experience all possible perspectives, even what it's like to be a slave that never has the chance to awaken to itself.

@WisdomSeeker well if you look at it from the highest perspective, everything is indeed One. That makes You everyone. Which means You are also experiencing the perspective of the slaves. All of this is happening simultaneously as Infinity is non-linear. So from the highest perspective, which finite perspective awakens to itself and which doesn't really becomes a non-issue.

@Mindfang413 we throw these words around like they are no big deal but when you truly grasp what is being said it will be eniightenment.

@Zigzag Idiot thanks for the Spinoza share.

Infinity. Lack of limitation. You are inifnity.

@Raptorsin7 its not the petty little human love. Its Absolute Love. Absolute Divinity. Its so powerful that it will knock you to your knees and leave you reeling. It will leave you in uncontrollable tears of bliss.

@Red-White-Light The materialist paradigm just assumes there is a physical world and consciousness exists within the brain. Once you become conscious that physical reality is in fact held within consciousness, then your old paradigm is shattered. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy duality. It's just recontexualized. By continuing the work you can become conscious that duality is in fact identical to non-duality, thereby coming full circle. It's quite wonderful after that.

@Consilience beautiful report man! Could almost feel as if i was there while reading it. Of course - i was
