I didnt watch the video but yes it is a hallucination..you can become directly conscious that it is.

@reves yes! It seemed like you got a good strong glimpse and you were touched by the Absolute. Your ego half surrendered. You were definitely on a different level of consciousness. During these elevated level of consciousness you may have certain realizations - different facets of the Absolute may be revealed. But even to be touched by God is profound. You may find that hours or days later your consciousness will still be elevated. In this elevated state its possible that you may hit a fully non-dual state and become conscious of certain Absolutes. And it can happen out of nowhere. But even if you don't and your consciousness comes back down you still will be higher than you were before. Once you break thru you can breakthru again and deeper. So this is a huge step in the path. Once God has revealed himself that's when it really begins.

@Natasha beautiful story thanks for sharing. ?

@SoonHei no i mean from the highest perspective they're literally identical.

@SoonHei You are an idea in a bigger Mind. But you are also the whole Mind. The two are absolutely identical. Oneness.

@Rebec pretty cool

Yeah...fasting can be a form of intentional suffering because the ego wants to load up on junk food because it provides short term pleasure but long term suffering. So it takes discipline to fast..if it was easy everyone would be thin and healthy. So that will grow you spiritually. Up front suffering leads to better life and peace and less suffering in long term. It's just the ego can't see it.

Its Being. Pure potential. The formless. Absolute Infinity. And you can reversec ollapse yourself into Being and become conscious that that is you and its always been you. Thats a mystical experience...That's Awakening. Crazy stuff but it's what's going on here

@zeroISinfinity he's playing little reindeer games, i mean rationalist games - to try and trigger your ego..he's trolling. He doesn't want to know Truth. Just ignore him and let him be in his "space" We're onto you big guy.

@zeroISinfinity Minds can feel Love.

@ColdFacts are you on repeat like a broken record?

@ColdFacts GOD IS the space! And you ARE God! You can become directly conscious of this! Your God! Your IT! The whole chabang. There's nothing outside of you. All of this is happening in your own mind. The whole forum is in your mind! Of course to grasp this requires Awakening. From your egoic dualistic perspective your just my buddy Coldfacts.

@ColdFacts you are awareness! You ARE the space! You ARE consciousness.

Its just isness or being.. it just is itself. There is no where else to go. There is no place outside of it. That's what you are you just dont know it.

Being/Oneness is formless minus form. Currently you are form but your within formlessness. You can become only the formless by losing the ego or form. That is a non-dual or mystical experience.

@ColdFacts Very astute. But you cannot grasp Infinity, oneness, from within it. Meaning you are a finitude of infinity. You are a part of the whole which places you within the whole. Anything you grasp will be dualistic. You cannot grasp non-duality with duality. You must become infinity. You must become the Absolute. This takes a mystical experience...you cannot get their with rationality or logic or the finite mind. The true nature of reality is irreducibly mystical. Its not made of a bunch of dumb atoms. Don't take my word for it, discover it for yourself.

@Shaun if its what i think it is..and its almost like a dissolving feeling...i call it Being. Some call it Kundalini.

@Bill W This is fantastic. If all of us can embody these things in our every day life the world would be so much better. One thing i would add is to gain the ability to jump between perspectives. If you disagree with someone - step back and take their perspective for a moment. There are probably very valid reasons or at least to the person as to why their perspective is what it is. This understanding of other perspectives can lead to great wisdom, understanding, and compassion. Afterall there are only perspectives in Reality. Reality is subjective not objective. And you can't change someone else's perspective, you can only offer your own if they are willing to listen. Likewise they can offer their own to you. In the end It is up to the person themselves what their perspective is.

Nothing wrong with profound statements resonating with you. But if all you are doing is obsessing about them then that is your probably your ego trying to flip things around on you so that you become stuck in a trap and never actually align with Truth. So go meta on these thoughts and proceed with your meditation and spiritual work.

@Aakash i like it

@Andrewww can you give me some examples of so called profound statements?

@seeking_brilliance ahh i got ya..yeah it is amazing how strong the illusion is. How it feels so real. It wouldn't be a good illusion if it wasn't LOL. We feel separate from universal consciousness yet we are One.

@Pouya thoughts come regardless. Try not having a thought for more than 30 seconds.

@seeking_brilliance As@Consilience stated they both arise in consciousness. There really isn't a body or a brain. Its just consciousness. You are a section of universal consciousness which is also capable of thinking and feeling.

@lmfao pretty powerful stuff.
