@AerisVahnEphelia Noice! I'm into some nasty, slimy, brutal slam death these days. It tickles the right spot. And when I'm not in a metal mood, I go for some sexy, epic electro from the future, like this

@Thought Art @Breakingthewall You are both over - complicating things. Drop all those stories now. Look at your hand. You have no fucking clue what that 'thing' right there is. In fact, it's not even a thing. It's not a part of some body of some human on some planet... Please be aware that those are all just thoughts arising as you are observing 'your hand'. 'Your hand' is just a thought. 'Human body' is a thought. Yes, it could be said that there is an appearance of something that we collectively label as 'a human body' or 'a hand'... but that does not mean that's what it is in actuality. Because it's not. What it is, is pure light. Consciousness. God. Not a fucking human hand. There is no life and death, no cycles, no nothing. All of that requires time, which we all know does not exist. You label a feeling good or bad. The same way you label your hand or whatever else. It's all just thoughts. No reality to any of it beyond that. Although it really, really might seem like there is. Feeling is not dualistic! If you really tune into a feeling, and ignore all the thoughts that arise, you should be able to realize that feeling is always one. Always now. It is not divided into two parts. Good or bad. It is just a feeling that arises within awareness. Same goes for thought. Thought is not split into two parts lol. A positive and negative. No. There are no two or many thoughts, actually. There is only ever one thought. Not positive or negative. Just a thought. And it can be accompanied by a feeling or not. I'm really not saying anything too crazy. Anyone can verify this for themselves. Anyone who's not completely blinded by thinking, I guess.

I see "Human" is an idea. A thought. I'm not trying to be a nondual dick, but really, there are no humans. I'm not denying that something deep in me is doing its best to survive and avoid pain as much as possible. I'm just saying that in actuality, things are super simple. Only one thing. Only one being. Only one consciousness. Nothing else. Not good, not bad, not pleasurable, not painful.

Read the first two comments.

@Bazooka Jesus There never was any experience, in actuality. It only seems that way. Same goes for duality and contradiction. No such things, in actuality.

@Bazooka Jesus The statements itself is dualistic, because language, yes. But that does not change the reality od truth. Which is, that there is no duality

If you are a serious seeker, you will never latch onto a single teacher and follow him blindly. Sooner or later, it should become obvious to you, that no teacher can take you all the way. They can, however, lead you down the wrong path, if you are careless enough. Awakening is a natural occurrence. It is good to have some guidelines laid down, maps and pointers, methods and practices, theories and all that... But the one and only true way is always going to be your way. It is the scariest, most challenging, bust also the most rewarding way. Leo is a great teacher. His teaching are nowhere nearly devoid of delusion. But if filtered and used correctly, it can all be very helpful. It's just assistance. Shining your way. You are the one who has to walk down the road. "The answer cannot be found it the writings of others, or the words of a trained mind"

@AerisVahnEphelia I'm always right with you

Maybe not THE heaviest... But definitely up there.

@Javfly33 These are not ideas that work or do not work. This is just about seeing things for what they are. A thought is a thought. A feeling is a feeling. Not good, not bad. And yeah, of course I prefer feeling relaxed over stressed.

It may be obvious to you, not to a newbie. Of course. Someone who's in denial is also in denial about being in denial. The delusion... it's over 9000. You ain't reflecting shit to anyone... But do continue thinking you're our hero, our saviour. And this is where your wokeness runs into a brickwall. Experience cannot ever be absolute.

I imagine that can happen too. And yes, everything is potentially dangerous, even air. But I think you guys like to use that as an excuse a bit too often, to justify your beliefs and keep living your fantasies.

@Razard86 I am deliberately avoiding responding to you, because it's never a fruitful conversation, but so be it. I see you're trying hard to capture my attention. I am also well aware of the mutual triggering that's going on - no need to deny. Yes self or no self, yes individual or no individual... are all dualities. Consciousness is effortless and omnipresent. It does not require you to think that there is an individual, nor does it require you to deny that there is an individual. It is simply conscious now.

It cannot, but by default, that's how most seekers will interpret it. Knowingly or unknowingly. A chair is not more or less God than 'you' are. But that's not as exciting as 'I AM EVERYTHING!', right? Why not? Because ego don't like being the same as a chair. Ego likes to think it's superior, omnipotent, etc.

It is absolitely the messenger's fault if he's spreading misinformation and potentially causing harm to those who buy into it. It is the messenger's or the teacher's responsibility to make sure that the information and the teachings provided are as harmless and as helpful as possible. 'Solipsism' is simply just more harmful than helpful.

@Sincerity A mature seeker, or someone who has realized their true nature, will undeniably see how misleading and dangerous beliefs such as 'solipsism' are. You think everyone truly understands we are talking about the big YOU when we say 'it's all you'...? Of course not. They automatically confuse their egoic, limited self for all there is. They knowingly or unknowingly develop a belief that says that their small self, their egoic self, is all there is. Is God. They end up being far more deluded than before even embarking on this journey. Also, no such things as kundalinies and other nonsense either.

Indeed. Honesty is crucial. There is no Truth without honesty. There is no work being done and no progress being made without honesty. One cannot reach self - realization without honesty. That is why saying 'I am in pain' - if it's coming from a place of honesty, is far more awake and truthful than saying 'I am God or everything is One' - if it's coming from a place of falsehood. Thank you, glad you resonate. It's not as woo woo as it may seem... In fact, it's far more simple than I managed to describe All the best to you!

It's spiritual one-upmanship. Leo started it, and now you're all sucking on his titties.

You guys are just trying to be cool and come up with a new fancy way to point towards the Absolute. And I'm just here saying that 'solipsism' is not a good pointer. Not a good word. Use the words everyone has been using for ages... Oneness, unity, singularity, nonduality... What's wrong with those? Why is Solipsism more enlightening than Oneness? You do realize that many people actually end up in psych wards because they believe in solipsism, right? Like, it's a legit disorder. People go seriously bonkers because of it.

@Vibroverse Definitely. I am knee - deep in 'shadow work' these days, sorting all kinds of shit out, while preaching about nonduality here on the forum lol. One would think those things are contradictory or mutually exclusive. But that's not true. It is possible to struggle and have a lot of shit on your plate... but then also have the ability to see through it all and know that there is no you, no shadows, no struggle, etc. Just pure, direct, undisturbed consciousness.

@Vibroverse Yup. And then 'one day', it's pretty much all there is, with an occasional thought or feeling passing by. Which is also it lol.

@Vibroverse The absolute cannot be a thought nor can it actually be thought of. Cannot put an infinite amount of water into a limited bucket. You do not have to think about a single thing in order to be conscious right now. It's effortless.

@Vibroverse Yeah, and if I was a hardcore nondualists I'd say that there is no relative Anything relative is just a thought. That there is relative is a thought.

Nope, still a mental disorder.

@strangelooper Classic response. Yes, I'd probably cry in pain like a lil bitch, but that would not change the fact that there is no good or bad, positive or negative, etc.
