Synchronicity

Yes, we can peacefully disagree but I think you’re confusing a broader perspective for “a lack of understanding.” My perspective includes yours within it. It totally agrees with yours but it also includes and agrees with others. It’s just more inclusive

@Inliytened1 No I’m speaking from a broader point of view. One that’s beyond duality and Nonduality

Coolio?❤️ I’m always satisfied with a peaceful ending on the same page

@VeganAwake So your perspective is absolute and everyone else’s is ignorant? I wasn’t invalidating what you said. I’m saying it’s a piece in a broader whole

?Perfect

@ivankiss I think you would like this quote: “The greatest realization isn’t escaping the illusion. It’s realizing there never was one.”

Yes, there are infinitely many things going on. There are infinitely many worlds exactly like this one (minus a single infinitesimal difference) but there’s also universes that are drastically different from this one. So drastic that they’re like living in pieces of abstract artwork.

What you experience as illusory in this form, you may experience as real in another. So telling someone that “duality being real is a false belief” is like telling someone that they’re wrong for considering a half-full glass “half-empty.” It’s all perspective and experience. Depending on the experience, duality can be 1. Real, 2. Illusory (as you said), 3. Both, 4. Neither etc.

Yeah, that’s why I always like to say “God is you, but you are not God” Lol

@Nate0068 From my direct experiences, yes. Human beings experience three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) but there are infinitely many primary colors that the human mind doesn’t experience and can’t imagine.

Not sure if this is considered self-promotion, but here’s a short video (7:59) that can hopefully offer a few of you some helpful insights:

I don’t think any of these quotes are paradoxical. They all make perfect sense to me. But I’ll add on to the Nondualistic quotes anyways ? “The Absolute is Relativity itself” “impermanence is permanent” ”Duality is Nondualistic”

I’ve found that it is. Many minds included within Infinite Consciousness. That unites duality and Nonduality but the boundaries of each mind is relative. Like identifying a drop of water in the ocean. No hard boundaries

@ShaunI respect your skepticism and search for honest truth, so I’ll be frank with you and tell you that not all Enlightened people are perfectly happy. Some are, yes. But not all. Some are - rather than happy - narcissistic, bitter, aloof, sarcastic etc. There’s Enlightenment and then there’s application of it. Those who apply it in a way that helps them find happiness are the happy ones.

There’s nothing wrong with skepticism and having opinions. Just recognize how limited the knowledge that you gain from direct experience is. For example, you’ve most likely read about chromosomes in a science textbook, but have you ever seen them for yourself? How do you know that what you read is true until you’ve seen it? You can say you trust what you’ve read - and that’s perfectly fine - but do you truly know it to be true? This is what radical open-mindedness feels like. It’s not about changing your beliefs. It’s about questioning them.

Yeah, there’s a lot more evidence than the mainstream admits. They still won’t consider it conclusive evidence.

Ahh I see. I missed that response above. Very well then! I’m fine with ending this conversation on that note of both of us acknowledging our lenses. Many blessings ❤️

@Serotoninluv I’m trying to understand why you judge other people’s points as relative but your own as Absolute. Whenever someone shows you why you’re still in the relative, you avoid their answers, shift the discussion away from yourself and towards them... For example, you’ve been trying to find reasons to tell me I’m in the relative (which is fine) but you haven’t once acknowledged what you have said to be relatively true.

Yet you had a goal in mind when you attempted to invalidate my responses.

Also @Serotoninluv you don’t seem to acknowledge your own viewpoints as a lens... Saying there’s nothing to attain is itself a lens or perspective. Saying that rationality can’t reach Truth is a lens that defines something as impossible but it’s only impossible relative to your lens You’re still very much in the relative

Why move the goal posts of the discussion...

With all due respect, then why aren’t you taking your own advice and looking through the lens of Truth being attainable through rationality?

And this is an academically-rational statement. If it were impossible to do this then reality would indeed be rational.

@Serotoninluv I understand what you’re saying but I mean that reality is so boundless that there are beings who have legitimately attained it through cause rather than correlation (even with sticks). Reality is that radically infinite

@Leo Gura @Inliytened1 There are beings that have awakened to Being and Oneness through philosophical induction. Why do you assume @dyslexicFcuk couldn’t possibly do so? Reality is full of endless possibilities
