Yes, you're right. From the absolute perpective it's all Consciousness being Consciousness. The ego limits reality, but it doesn't create reality. God (consciousness) creates reality, and reality is infinite. Every thing exists in reality, and all those things are also infinite. We (ego) just impose our self onto it and limit it into our perspective. But reality itself does it's thing with or without our projecting our ego onto it. And at every zoom things divide and unite infinitely forever. But I'm talking about the force that divides the ego from unity and unites it when we die, which when I investigate deeply is Love. and because reality is all one thing, is Love the same force that attracts and repel magnets and holds planets in orbit?

Yes, all dualities collapse into one thing. But what is the force that unites them into this field. All of reality divides and unites infinitly. It's the engine that runs reality as Leo has stated. A 'thing' divides from unity, tries to survive, and ultimately gets united back into infinity only to divide again. But what is this force that divides and unites everything. It seems like that is what Love is. The one force that drives all divisions and unities. But we just call it all sorts of other names and try to expain it with science and philosophy...etc

@Leo Gura Just speaking from personal experience, fasting has been life changing for me. I too was dealing with cronic fatigue and brain fog, and fasting was the only thing I found that gave my system a 'reset'. It just takes getting past the first couple of days and you will find that your energy actually increases a lot when you break through into Ketosis, and you get a lot of mental clarity too. I've done a few 2 week long fasts and now I intermittent fast in an 18-6 and it's worked wonders. Has your body ever ran on ketones before? From your video you were talking about carbs being an issue for you. By switching your body to Ketones for energy, you might find relief. I wish you luck my friend. ?❤️

What? No. The redundancy gets cancelled. 100 ➗0 = Infinity 100 ➗Infinity = 0 0 = Infinity Infinity = 0 So: 1 x 100 = 100 100 x 1 = 100 (1 x 100) = (100 x 1) 100 = 100 But from the absolute perspective, Everything = Everything, so you're not exactly wrong...lol

They are interchangeable. 2 things that are interchangeable are equal. the " 100 ➗" becomes irrelevant. Everything else cancels out.

Lol. Just pointing to the nature of it. Infinity is too complex to explain with symbols and words, but it's fun to think about how infinity and zero always collapse on each other, like a fractal. You're always in the middle, zoom out forever and you'll still be no closer to the end or beginning.

100 ➗100 = 1 100 ➗10 = 10 100 ➗ 1 = 100 100 ➗0.1 = 1000 100 ➗0 = Infinity 100 ➗Infinity = 0 Infinity = 0 Nothingness = Everythingness

Exactly, we are nothing but perspective. No perspective is the right one. Your perspective is the one you choose to put on it and believe. The Truth is that there is no true perspective. That's the only true perspective there is. So how can you be attached to any outcome when the outcome of whether your friend wants to hang out is a coin flip. You have no idea what their perspective is. It's limitless possibilities for why they don't feel like it, most of which have nothing to do with you. The only thing you have to realize is that you're looking for love, acceptance, and understanding from this person. Give it to yourself. You are all you need right now, you're perfect in this moment here. You dont need anything more. ?

That is not your direct experience. It is a filtered experience. It's filtered through the story of you. Look deeper. Your ego won't want to look, but you have to look. It won't be easy, but that's how you know you're looking in the right place.

It's pretty simple. Consciousness is Infinite, which means it's Infinitely Intelligent. You are that Infinitely Intelligent Consciousness, but you forget. You can only remember by raising your state of Consciousness, either by learning (inefficient) or through spiritual work (more efficient). The only limit on your intelligence is your imagined inability to remember what you are.

Well, the way I've come to think of it is that we're born at a very low stage of consciousness, and at lower stages we find it hard to remember things. Kind of for the same reason that animals have very poor memories or like if we go through our day to day lives in a low conscious manner (just going through the motions, doing the same things every day), then we won't register much memory of the events at all. It's only when we are aware of the moment that it gets registered in our memories. At a certain point kids will raise their states of consciousness to where they will 'come online' so to speak, or become conscious enough to become self aware and begin to know who they are. In your purest form (or formlessness), you already have memory of everything that has ever happened or will ever happen, but life is the process of remembering. First, forgetting (Birth), then trying to remember for a few decades (Learning skills and consciousness work) and finally remembering all of it (Death). The process of remembering is the raising of Consciousness.

Love has to be found from within first. Notice that you're looking for love from other people which will always result in sadness. You mirror in the world what you feel within, so if you feel hate, jealousy, disgust, you'll continue to attract those things into you're life. When you start to realize that people don't mean to be negative, they don't intend to be selfish, it's just unconscious programming that they're running on, it's all just a false story that they tell themselves and they are completely unaware of it.... then you'll be able to view other people with compassion and acceptance and you'll want to show them Love and guidance to relieve their suffering. But you must see those things in you first, and treat yourself with that same compassion and acceptance or else you won't be able to see it in others and the same suffering in them will also be in you. Remember that we are all connected. Write down all the things that you don't want to see in the world anymore and question them deeply. How would a good friend show you love and compassion and give you guidance? Give that to yourself. Self-Love heals all wounds. Show the world the same Love and you'll find what you're looking for. ❤️✌️

Interesting ? I wonder if they accounted for 'how' the tribes people might think. Like they might think in symbols that mean larger concepts than our random thoughts. Their thoughts might be more efficient than ours. The english language seems very messy if you think about it. I always think that there must be a better ways to communicate ideas to people. Like in the movie Arrival or something...lol The problem is that what we call nonduality only occurs post-rationally or post-self awareness. So animals and humans would have to go through a progression like (pre self nondual - dual self - post self nondual) from very low consciousness states with no self-awareness to low conscious self-awareness state to high concious self-awareness state to nondual state. I think most animals are in the first 2 of these states.

Well animals have no concept of dualist and nondualist, or seperation and oneness, so what I was getting at was that from our perspective they seem to experience a sort of pre self awareness consciousness state of survivalism. Which I guess could be considered dualistic, but they do not have a sense of seperation of self from consciousness itself, so it could also be seen as nondualist. Ultimately, the those terms are human terms made inside human states of consciousness to describe the human experience of self-awareness vs conscious awareness, so they don't apply to animals.

@Nak Khid I was hoping to have a more broad conversation about the nature of animals, but you don't seem to be interested. So I refer you to Pookie's post.

I was thinking of what fear does to us the other day, specifically anxiety. When we are anxious, we tend to get into one of 4 states. Flight, fight, freeze, or you pass out (faint). I would say that these 4 states are the lowest possible states of consciousness either humans or animals can be in, and most animals tend to be in these states most of the time. Flight is the highest state of these because you are still conscious enough to make the decision to run, fight is a lower state because you can only instinctually lash out and protect your life. Freeze is even lower than that because you are completely overwhelmed with fear that you can't even make a conscious decision to save your life and your survival strategy goes out the window. And then obviously passing out is the end of the extreme and God Consciousness at that point pretty much says "Well, this ego can't cope, so I'll take it from here" lol Fear really is the greatest limiter to our states of consciousness. A fearful being cannot raise their state to self-awareness. Have you ever noticed that when we get fearful or angry be get a sort of 'tunnel vision' and we go into an auto-pilot mode? We come out of it and say "man, I lost it there. I don't know what came over me." We completely lose our "self" in that moment, but not in a meditative state, which is post-ego. This is a pre-ego state. I think that animals live in this state permanently. Except for domestic animals. I think there starting to develop some low-level self-awareness. Probably stage purple/red awareness.

I think that our brains are in the goldie-lock zone where it just powerful enough to develop an awareness of ourselves, to know that we know, but at the same time we are also in a relatively low state of conscious awareness to the infinite amounts that it could be. Animals are in a lower state of consciousness than us due to their fearful nature and there instinctual survival stategy. Some animals are at a similar state of consciousness that humans were in stage Beige/Purple of spiral development. Just think about when a human gets fearful, selfish, and in a 'survival and all cost' paradigm. You could say they become more animal like in nature.

Can't wait to read this book.

All I meant was it'll free you from attaching to any 'ideas' of anything 'benefiting' you, or that there are people who are 'mentally unstable'. These are filters that you're seeing the world through and questioning them make an ego fearful and defensive. I didn't say anything about 'objects not existing'. They do and they don't, everything is relative if you haven't noticed it already. You choose how you want to see them, but ultimately, everything is One, and all dualities collapse if you look and question hard enough.

It'll free you from needing any benefit in life, and from thinking there's such thing as a dissociated mentally unstable person.

@Elham @Gesundheit @Nak Khid @ivankiss @dimitri @James123 Thank you. You guys have been a big help in me seeing with a positive perspective. Much appreciated ❤️??

There seems to be a variety of perspectives on whether it's possible to make a 'wrong' choice in life. (I know right and wrong are relative) but many people say things like 'You're right where you need to be' or 'Trust that the universe will show you the way' or 'there is no wrong path'. This seems to be the consensus of spirtual teachers, but I just have a hard time seeing it in my life. I feel like I've followed intuition a lot in my life, and I led me down a path that I know is not right for me. (or not the plan for me?) . It does seem to me that life has had a 'one step back, two step forward' kind of flow to it, and all the decisions I've made had lead me to being a more conscious individual that I was 5 years ago. But my 'outer life' has been stagnant for a while now. After 5 years of meditation, self-inquiry, and contemplation, I haven't moved forward at all in building a life that I actually want. I don't even know what I want. I've been learning skills (Music, Filmmaking, Editing, Photography, Computers) all that have nothing to do with the career I have now or the path I'm going down in life in general. I like all these things but don't feel enough of a passion to change my whole life over. I know I want a different life than the one I have now, but I can't follow my intuition, or even know what I'm looking for. I'm sort of spinning my wheels wondering if this is right where I need to be, or is the universe going to give me a sign of what path I should head down next. I feel sort of 'in limbo', and I can't figure it out. Am I just wasting my time or am I right where I need to be? Is there a plan for me?

Exactly. Notice this. Think about it deeper. How is she feeling? How does it make her sense of self feel? How does it effect her whole life construction and survival strategy. He's pretty much telling her that everything she cares about is an illusion. Nobody will want to look at that in themselves and the ego is going to do everything it can to to prevent her from looking inward. She's going to laugh at him, and think he's crazy, and probably feel like she's superior. These are all defense mechanisms. And you're projecting your own ego and uncomforability onto how she feels about the situation too. Look at why you feel this way. Just questioning it will tell you all you need to know. Jim is just playing the game here. He sees the meaningless behind everything that everyone is caring about. He's just having fun with it. Toying with the absurdity of it all. Sometimes he's more restrained, but he just felt like being more playful here, that'll all.

I've been contemplating this morning about human senses and perception and I keep coming to the realization that everything functions as frequencies. Light, electricity, sound, time, touch sensations, etc. Everything that we can perceive can be deconstructed to frequencies, and we are just 'tuning in' to a very limited part of the frequency range (which is Infinite for all of them). We only see 'certain' things, only hear 'certain' things, only feel 'certain' things, but the potential is limitless. The frequencies go on infinitely. I think we are seeing a limited part of Consciousness itself when we measure these frequencies. They only become relative when we 'look' at them, just like Quantum Fields. There are most definitely Energies and frequencies that we cannot even feel or perceive in anyway. We just don't have the tools in limited form. Can thoughts and emotions be seen as a frequency or wave that just happens in Consciousness similar to Light. It's just a frequency of Infinite Intelligence (thoughts) and Love (emotion) that we 'tune' into? Is this what teachers mean when they talk about 'attunement'? There are frequencies of energies that we have to become more conscious of?

I do too, I'm just trying to figure out what notes the maestro wants me to play. Could you expand on this?
