Very interesting. Where can i find it? Can you give me a link?

How can dualities be transcended? If there comes out an absolute, does it have to contain a polar opposite to it also? For example if you consider an absolute that god is self conscious, does thay also mean that god is not self conscious?

Oh shit, ahahaha. Yeah... Thanks!

Yeah, another abvious thing i was missing ahahaha This stuff is all about obvious thing that are being missed. @Serotoninluv

@Serotoninluv yeah nice story, thank you for sharing!

Interesting topic to follow

So in this case, saying that i got it would be to say that duality is true. But we must communicate this way otherwise we can t understand each other. That's why i had to create that construct. This can be realized through direct experience. As you said, it is king. (Enlightenment?) However it is still a construct. And a construct must be dual. So we can go on around from here on in circles, or we can stop and say: "Well, it ultimately must collapse in nothing=everything." This is something abvious i have not thought about in this terms, even if it's abvious ahahah So i can have a very different "understanding" of reality, and talk about it the same way that you do, buy we actually mean different things. That s why i can t understand, no matter how much we seem to talk about it or even to agree about it.

Yes. Make sure you have a strong why for what you are doing. Othetwhise just don't. Remember to find balance of loving yourself the way you are vs. Wanting chronically to improve yourself and to achieve something in life. Balance is key.

@Serotoninluv Ahahahahaha Yeah, nice suggestion. I will definetly try to write it down! You are right about the mind trying to hold on. In fact i agree that working with the body is definetly key to healing.

@Serotoninluv your answers are absolutely fantastic. As always, i have to read it through a bunch of times. Thank you soo much!!!

I understand. Make sure you have a strong enough "Why" behind it. And watch leo's episode on ego backlash!

Ahahaha, sound like an ego backlash. I have had plenty of those, and i expect them in the future. However, why did you start meditating? Did you have a sense of direction in life before?

@SoonHei Yeah complete paradoxes here. Fucking with my mind. Of course i will continue searching. This is what the me does. It is seeking itself, cannot do anything else Can't escape it.

Yeah, non dual vs dual was another thing i was confused about... Thank you for making me see clearly how the mind works. I now understand it's impossible to understand it in a conceptual level because this creates another duality, in a duality of a duality etc... However, the truth will always be that there is one coin. No matter how you put it, right? So if everything in existence is contained within my awareness: Coin= Awareness So in trying to conceptually understand it my mind creates another duality. That is Awareness vs No awareness But that takes place within awareness! So this is the point i was missing! Did i get it? Then the question comes: If you say non duality is something i can not understand, how come you can explain it to me and i can understand it? But that creates a duality of understanding vs. Non understanding And that takes place within... Awareness! Did i get it?

@SoonHei Exellent explanation, thank you!

So basically, jim and tony only focus on one facet. Leo talks about the love aspect, the intelligent design, etc. But when i listen to him saying that, i conceptualize it wit my mind. So he is talking about a love that is unknowable to the ego (As long as you are alive). Or an intelligence that is unknowable. Did i get it? But because i say to myself: "Why does leo talk about love, or intelligence, or purpose"? Isn't this just the ego trying to achieve "Something" else to feel whole and complete, so just furthering the misunderstanding that THIS is already whole and complete?

Is leo talking about what he is talking about but in a different perspective? @Serotoninluv A clear explanation. Now if i am confused about non duality, i will look at a coin ahahah. Thank you. That coin is consciousness you say?

Well precisely that becouse we are talking about something unknowable so i thought "Uhm... interesting"

Uhm interesting...thank you Have you ever heard about jim newman?

Ah, allright ahaha

Nobody does that recognition. It's a recognition for no one. Are you suggesting that you live after you die? I thought after you die nobody wakes up (There never was a you there). It just ends. And what is left is this. But if i take a psychedelic and my ego falls away, who is experiencing that experience? It still has to be a "you" somewhere in there to experience that. Right?

But how do you know that consciousness is an absolute? After all, isn't it something that appears to be real, like everything else? When i say your pc is an llusion, you are fine with that. But when i apply non duality to your consciousness you say no? I think i have confused idea because i started listening to jim newman which teached non duality in a very direct way. If i listen to him and then what leo teaches, it is clear that there are similarities. However, i don t understand if leo has "discovered" other things about reality that other teachers seem to miss, or if it is the same message from a differerent perspective...

@molosku Allright, i will watch the video. Thank you for your answer

@VeganAwake @zeroISinfinity All this time i kept thinking that nothing meant nothing. Not in the sense that is a nothing which allows everything else. But it s truly nothing, non existant. And thats why nothing/something is a paradox which can t be understood

@zeroISinfinity But... Wait Omfg, so if i put any meaning i want i basically am god. Or am i misunderstanding? Are you saying i am god in the "something" part of the duality "nothing/something"? Is it clear or am i complicating? I have a tendency to complicate.
