Inliytened1

@Preetom you have a really good grasp of it. Have you had glimpses or gotten close yet in meditation?

@Preetom yeah true i took a deeper look i was focusing on the title of the post.

@Maya_0 Nothingness is not prior to Consciousness. Consciousness is the fundamental substance of realty. It is Absolute infinity. That makes it formless. Infinity includes everything....Everything... EVERYTHING. Everything includes nothingess which makes reality absolutely groundless. When you become conscious of this in your direct experience that is enlightenment, as you become Infinity itself. It will melt you. Its indescribably beautiful and Divine. And it is your true nature.

@Aakash not exactly sure what you mean. A duality requires a perceiver and an object being perceived. But perception is an illusion as in truth there is only Being. So all dualities are created within the mind. UP only means anything when contrasted with down. Dual reality is really just a system of contrasts. It's mind blowing when this hits you. As God all dualities collapse.

@David Hammond what i meant with that is showing humility. It's a trait that takes decades to develop. But that was before i knew you and your sense of humor. So for all i know you are the humblest guy in the world. I shouldn't have assumed.

@David Hammond i explore the content. Actually normally I'm reading a book right now instead of being on a forum. One should constantly learn...yes there are great books out there and i read several new books a month. I also listen The Teaching Company for history, science, philosophy and more. I never stop learning and no one should stop. The reason i think Zero and i have been spending too much time here on the forum is that becoming God is so incredible that at least for me i wanted to talk to others that can relate to it and also to bring others along in the path..if they are open to it. But i won't bother you anymore i just stepped in when Zero jumped in. Zero you gotta chill with pushing it on people too. We gotta be respectful here on the forum. So I'm sorry for that David.

@David Hammond i would have honestly thought the same thing. I did actually. I was never into spirituality as a matter of fact i was the farthest person from it. I was a rationalist and an athiest. But i have always had a kinda loose identity..meaning i never clinged to an idealogy like a lot of other people do. So when i stumbled on him and decided why not..what would it hurt to try self inquiry and see where it goes. The question of "when a tree falls in the forest and there is no perceiver, does it actually make a sound?" Always bothered me because i was coming at it from the Materialist paradigm. But i had a sense that something was amiss..i just hand waved it away like most people do as "oh its just something we can never know" So that's why at 48 and a lifetime of egoic suffering after a few weeks of meditation via the do nothing and self inquiry method, it happened. That's when i started digging into Buddhism and Hinduism just for my own personal knowledge.

@Jack Walter Leon can you elaborate? I'm not quite grasping what you are saying.

@zeroISinfinity Reality is inherently mystical. One can become directly conscious of this. There is nothing like becoming God. It is the most beautiful and divine thing in the world. It will melt your heart literally. Words cannot describe it and it will literally bring you to your knees weeping like a child. Its beautiful. And its infinite. Sorry for posting on your thread. Zero lets leave his thread alone.

@Ponder we like you too Ponder. Nay, we love you. Because our love is absolute. We love the devils too

@David Hammond now you are littering your own thread. You couldn't resist that ego burst to get the last word in. Zero is right...you are teaching techniques that have not even brought you the teacher enlightenment. Therefore to all you guys out there i would be very skeptical about his ability to teach you these techniques because his idea of enlightenment is deluded. I'm done here...if you want to litter your own thread and get another last word in that's a bunch of BS go ahead.

@David Hammond its like pissing in the wind with you. I give up.

@zeroISinfinity absolutely they do. They feel it

@David Hammond the breathing techniques are valid. They are a form of buddhist mediation. It works. But don't put a time limit on it. And it hasn't worked for yourself yet.

@David Hammond not the same thing. One day j hope it hits you and when it does you will be like "Holy fuck! That's what they were talking about!"

@David Hammond That's the exact type of mindset that will never get you there. But I'm gonna go meditate. See you guys later.

@David Hammond there is Both and none at once. Thats infinity. Try wrapping your mind around that. You can't. But you can be it. I don't think you are grasping what is being said here...we aren't kidding around about it. You can actually BE it!

@David Hammond David....he had a mystical experience in which he became directly conscious of Being. He became Being. It may have only been for a short time but it happened.

@zeroISinfinity he has not become the Absolute yet but he understands where the map is pointing to. That's more than most people get.

@Ponder A devil is an unconscious angel.

@Flatworld Crusades nice that's great to hear

@Truth Addict Yes i can. It is actually what brings me the most peace. I've been spending a bit too much time here on the forum..gonna need to dial it back.

@AnaCristina doesn't matter really. With OCD the obsessive thoughts aren't real. They're self deception. They pop up out of nowhere, often from certain triggers within the subconscious that are really hard to figure out.

@Leo Gura

@Buba Enlightenment will liberate you from the obsessions but it will only be during the mystical experience. Mystical experience isn't even the right word. The right words are direct consciousnes of God. Being God. Apon return to duality you will linger between states for some time and still enjoy the bliss and the lack of obsessions. But ultimately as you return to the Ego the obsessive thoughts will return..but they will be lessened. You have tapped into Infinite Intelligence. Your consciousness will be raised a thousand fold. But you must continue the work. Make it your life's work and become more and more in tune with Being. The more aligned with God the less the obsessions and the happier you are. Additonal mystical states may be required to completely remove them but it is possible. Afterall, we are talking about Absolute Infinity.
