@Pouya Words of wisdom indeed.

How about legit suffering. You are slowly killing yourself when you do that. That's the only thing i can think of that isn't survival strategy while your still the ego. Awakening is already after the ego is gone.

@Norbert Lennartz yeah no mind meditation. .getting as close to Being as you can prior to losing the ego is close. Of course thoughts arrive so quickly.....

@outlandish yah discovering you are God after pursuit of Truth..which is ego death. Suicide itself can actually be a survival strategy because the depressed person is trying to relieve the pain of life so in a sense that's a form of survival.

@Sauvik yes it is. Your perspective IS reality. That's the beauty.

@zeroISinfinity

@zeroISinfinity indeed that is the highest realization To discover that you are God and that you created this whole thing. And that you are this whole thing. There is nothing outside of you. You had to create the form as well. The form is part of formless and is a necessary part of God. All is One as the form comes full circle to realize formlessness - which it always was.

@zeroISinfinity consciousness = God. But yes it depends on where you are on the path as to what is revealed to you.

@John West this is normal. When the mind is wrestling to grasp something eventually it will all become mush. At that point that's when you should take a step back. Take a break and perhaps do some no mind meditation and stay in the present moment. Try to remind yourself that its OK for it not to make sense now - all will be revealed in time. Then later come back to it with a clear head and it may just click.

@Shin don't cut yourself short. You have had glimpses of Truth. Those glimpses had revealed certain facets to you to where the other facets would fit logically whether you have directly become conscious of them or not. You also have your intuition even if you haven't had glimpses. By the way I'm not trying to get in your pants it was simply an observation

@zeroISinfinity where do you think the egoic mind comes from...some third party entity? Don't forget Oneness. You can become directly conscious of Oneness.

@Inder You have full control...From your perspective. Your perspective is the only thing you have. Its YOU. You can't be God's perspective or any other perspective while you are being you. Otherwise you would no longer be you! You can't even conceptualize God's perspective because that's still you fantasizing about God's perspective. It isn't real. When you have a mystical experience you become God. Then you will become conscious that from God's perspective it has already happened. Once you grasp that there is no objective world or reality out there - that everything is relative to perspective - that's when you grasp this. Perspective is all there is. It doesn't just seem that way that's how it actually is. It takes a shift in the way you look at Reality.

@Inder absolutely. You can consciously create all day long. That's the beauty of this whole design. Infinity is a very, very powerful thing. Its awe inspiring.

@Anna1 indeed i see the subtle difference. Interesting, thanks

You'll probably curl up into a ball anyway and cry for hrs on end just from the sheer awesomeness of God. "Oh my God" will be the only words you will be able to mutter for quite some time.

Agreed. We need folks like you! It's going to be the visionary scientists like you that will evolve our species to the highest levels.

Those are only your Egoic pleasures not God's the Absolute. He is just a little bit larger than that. Afterall..God IS the women AND the beaches. He already is doing all of that through you/himself, and much more. Entertaining himself is much more challenging than that! For him discovering himself through himself is where it's at. And he must forget himself in order to do that. Something without limitations must give itself limitations just to explore itself.

@Maya_0 it sure feels like there is though.. Thats what i mean in above post...wonderful illusion by God.

@Anna1 would love to hear your perspective. What i have become conscious of is that free will and no free will are dualities so when collapsed there is only Infinity. Can't be free will from Gods perspective. There there is just formlessness and everything that ever happened or didnt happen is contained within but as pure potential.. nothingness. But then he creates dualities through form..he creates your perspective (which is still him) and he gives you free will....Or so it seems, from your perspective! It's brilliant! Of course again i use "he" metaphorically for God or Awareness. Or absolute Infinity.

@Hellspeed not exactly. Remember the Ego itself is still a finitude of infinity. Therefore its still Infinity. Its still God. It's just God being the devil so to speak. And it's a perspective within Infinity. Another way to look at it is Infinity is a Mind, since its substance is nothing. And this Mind dreams up ideas, or form. Your perspective / your ego, is one of those ideas inside this Mind. But its still the whole Mind at the same time. Absolute Infinity - AKA God - is absolutely everything. There's nothing outside of it and you can become directly conscious of this via a mystical experience. Just like you can become conscious of Absolute Love. That's why they are Absolutes. You wouldn't say Absolute Love is a delusion.

@Nathan J you are right where ya wanna be then All alone and at complete peace with that.

@Shadowraix yup it all depends on perspective. From your perspective, the relative one, you have free will. But from the Absolute perspective there is only Being.

@Bufo Alvarius but remember you as Infinity or God also in its Infinite intelligence has a grand design and that design is to discover himself as himself. Over and over and over again to Infinity forever.
