@universe The snake eating it's own tail.

@abrakamowse but remember the little finite God and the Infinite God are absolutely identical. Being conscious of that is a big step.

@SQAAD don't give that too much weight at all. OCD is an "anxiety disorder" due to lack of certainty. That nagging inner feeling that something aint quite right. But what if you look at it as also your intuition telling you this, and that maybe, just maybe, there IS something not right! There's something VERY not right about what we think is going on here with life! Thats why the pursuit of Truth through spirituality can bring you so much peace and relief from OCD. Don't underestimate the power of your true nature.

Nice. Yes suffering by the Ego can be harnessed in a sense towards Awakening. During your mystical experience were their any facets of the Absolute revealed to you?

Do not let this freak you out - just be your perspective. Yes you are infinite, but picturing other perspectives is just concept - it's not ACTUAL. If you get lost in concepts that can actually be a detriment to you in this work and get you trapped in your own mind. Just be yourself. Your'e God right now. When you become conscious of certain facets of the Absolute or the entire thing, via a mystical experience or experiences, you ultimately will realize you are God - and that is unimaginable bliss. Also keep in mind your perspective will progress in consciousness until it merges with Absolute infinity into the Absolute Oneness that you always were!

The substance of Reality is nothing. However Reality is Infinite, so another word for Reality is Absolute Infinity. It just IS itself. There is no where else to go. There can't be anything outside of it. Infinity allows it the freedom to be A Mechanical - it needs no mechanism and it can be conscious - and feel, and love. so another word for Reality is Consciousness. It's a Mind. This Mind is nothingness - but since it's Infinite, it contains within it all possiblities, including none at all (non existence). Existence and Non-Existence or super imposed right on top of eachother because there is no where else to go. So what you get is Existence and non-existence cancelling each other out - and your'e left with Reality being a Dream - or hallucination. The substance of which, is nothing. Again, all possibilities are still included within this Infinite singularity. That's where the relativity comes in. God creates perspectives through form, and explores itself through an infinite number of perspectives. This form - you, me, your coffee table, black holes, EVERYTHING, is couched within the formlessness, or nothingness, but at the same time its One. It unfolds as we "be" our perspective, or in other words we create form, from the nothingness. But it was Always there! Reality is absolutely Relative in that it doesn't just appear that way - That's how it actually is! It's only perspectives. But so much so that is Absolutely so! Making it Absolute! It's perfect. Being = Formlessness minus the form Your perspective is a finitude or part, of infnity, or God - it is form within the formlessness, so it's still both. Your being it right now!

For me this happens a lot too. I think its par for the course. But there will be other times when you are hyper alert and can meditate just fine without falling asleep. Getting a good night's sleep will help a lot with that. Caffeine helps me personally.

It can't be escaped (him appearing to be projecting on you) That's why language breaks down when discussing Truth. That's the paradoxical, loopy nature of reality. This is just and endless loop.

Different teachers use words in different contexts - but Awareness and consciousness are the same thing. Another word for it is Absolute Infinity, or God - since it's Infinite. It's substance is nothing. It is formless.

I'm sure he's a great guy - That said, One should not put other Masters on a pedestal. One should be rather focus on discovering Truth for themselves and become their own Master. Remember to be cognizant of Oneness. You and he are actually identical.

@Shadowraix I would think that would be Ego then. The only devil is the Egoic mind. It's really your own doing.

@Drake140 remember Infinity does not have to have it carved out for it to be there. So yes him responding saying he's not sure happened already but it does not necessarily have to be carved out in form so to speak. Instead its isness, or it just IS. Another word for isness is Being. We reverse collapse Being/isness into form when we create, or simply be, but it was always there.

In other words its Actual.

Listening to music that resonates with me is very helpful for me in getting in touch with Being. There is Love there. So I'm wondering if music is really relative to the individual. If certain music resonates with you and aids in providing a sort of bliss that helps you connect with Being and/or Love for yourself then shouldn't that be enough? Not sure in other words if music can be squeezed into a stage of spiral dynamics. It's what you make of it. It's your creation.

I've not done Kriya Yoga but i can tell you from direct experience that all is One. Therefore how could their be some objective, 3rd party demonic entity? There is only yourself, or consciousness, or reality, or God, or infinity. There cannot be anything outside of yourself.

@TheOne is there a "time" when your post ends? Just kidding

@Joseph Maynor now you are doing the same thing back to 7th. See how this is just a loop? By this I'm doing it back to you. It's just an endless loop.

As brilliant as Leo is, and again in the scheme of things, from the big picture perspective, he and you are actually identical, so be wary not to put him or anyone else on a pedestal, he still grows spirituality like the rest of us. I think earlier on he was more condescending than he is now. That is something i have noticed he has worked on and grown into. He never had bad intentions of course. Becoming fully conscious of Oneness will also bring Absolute Love for all. And humility. And keep in mind the Oneness, the highest of perspectives, because you are God and you are infinitely brilliant.

@CreamCat they're identical. That is the highest realization.

@abrakamowse yeah that's awesome

@abrakamowse Nice And its YOU! But remember God/you are not a program. You are way more nuanced than that! Programs can't Love!

Dualities are within non-duality. Form is within formlessness. Without dualities or form, God, aka Infinity cannot BE itself. It cannot live THROUGH itself. But its all ultimately One from the highest perspective. When one grasps this one grasps all of reality. But they must wake up to themselves. They must become themselves. Once that is done we can do all the self improvement we want. We can play in the content.

Infinity includes all the possibilities, including the best possibilities, and none at all. The grandest of designs is also Absolute zero. Pure isness. Hurts the finite mind but at the same time leaves it in awe.

@Gili Trawangan

@NoSelfSelf yup.
