Synchronicity

Truth triumphs. If you’re right, everyone here will eventually know that you were

If this is how the deepest wisdom conducts itself, then it’s not being displayed well

I consider this perspective very valuable and beneficial. Coming from a person whose posts are as meta and impractical as yours truly, I still never discount the importance of “spiritual minimalism” in balancing out “spiritual maximalism.” It can be very easy to get distracted by the more outlandish teachings that stray away from the development of what you’re calling Pure Presence. So I find your position to be a great tool for making sure that one stays focused on the core practices. I’m an advocate for this as well. With all that said, I also want to weigh in that some of the more “impractical” content can be and has been just as beneficial to some people as the core work - and I’m not just talking about people in the far-off worlds that I claim to be immersed in. I mean that it’s even been beneficial to the human livelihood that’s experienced right here. Not everyone will benefit from it but people are diverse. Some will. I may be preaching to the choir as that’s probably something you’re already well-aware of. I just figured it was worth mentioning in light of what you said earlier about how the term “spirituality” is used to refer to both consciousness-work and “Casper.” I don’t consider that a misappropriation of the term spirituality because all other fields are equally diverse. To name just one example, the term Science can apply to both the practical study of Child Behavior as well as the ultimate Fate of the Cosmos (which is entirely impractical within the context of immediate human life). Therefore, I don’t see why spirituality couldn’t similarly be such a broad and diverse field. This is another reason why I consider core consciousness-work and your perspective to be very valuable. It contributes priceless worth to the field.

As a few of you know, I’ve decided to share some of my infinitude of experiences. This is the first of such posts. I promise my others won’t be this long Lol They most likely won’t even be videos but I needed to provide this general description of my overall experience first...

To answer this, we have to refer back to the nature of time as I described in the video. I’m experiencing all forms of all timelines past, present, and future as the same present in the same moment. I’m dialed-in fully to some of these forms. One of these forms could be you at some point in the future in which case, at some point in the future, you would experience being dialed-in on at that moment. Hopefully, that’s a clear explanation. If not, I can elaborate more. But that’s just an example of how it would be proven to you at some point later on than now. The dialing-in doesn’t happen chronologically for me, but it would for you. That’s why, as you said, it’s not like learning a skill per se. I’ve explained in my previous comment how the articulation is done without memories facilitating it. The experience is fed through Ethan but not held in his brain. I’m fine with skepticism, objections, and questions but I would prefer that you fully read and understand my points before bringing up the same objection again. That’s perfectly understandable. I’m not asking you to believe me. I’m answering all your questions so that you can inform yourself about me as you like. None of that information has to convince you.

Yeah sure, nothing wrong there Yes, the infinitude of the experience can be used as a cop-out for why - here as Ethan - I’m unable to provide proof in this particular moment. No, that doesn’t mean it can never be proven. Giving the tangible infinite experience to you is how it’s proven directly. That’s a good extrapolation but there’s still an assumption laced in there. Just because I speak through Ethan doesn’t mean that “my” infinitude is held in the memories of his brain. I’m happy to explain this more if that’s wanted but to give a very crude example, a TV can display content without holding that content inside itself. The content channels into and flows through it from outside broadcasts. At this point, you may have the tendency to ask, “if you’re dialed-in enough to this world to know the basics of how TVs here work, why aren’t you dialed-in enough to know everything about the subject matter?” The answer: dialing-in isn’t just a black-and-white activity of either “I’m dialed-in” or “I’m not.” It’s infinitely more nuanced as there’s degrees to how much I’m dialed-in on each particular thing. This also leads to the infinite diversity of experiences. “Isn’t this another cop-out?” Yes, it could definitely be used as such. So yes, Ethan has been given access to the experience by “me” but as explained previously, that doesn’t mean it’s held in his brain. It’s a constant feed-through. Haha how did you correctly guess about my Writer-app Notes? Yes, I go in and keep adding to that list every day. It’s great to know that I’m now dialing-in enough here to sound normal! You’re the first person in this life who hasn’t called me weird, bizarre, an alien, inhuman etc. I’ll drop the annoying third-person talk and say my mom and dad (instead of Ethan’s) always make half-jokes about how I’m an alien and not their son. Even in childhood, these jokes were being cracked around the family Lol Yes, very true but you’ve got another assumption laced in there. Through this video and Ethan’s mouth, I’ve only articulated the nature of infinity. Who said there isn’t more? I certainly didn’t. There’s far more beyond the boundless! This is obviously illogical and contradicts the very nature of infinity, by definition. Yet, just as you said, the broader stuff can’t be properly articulated. So your assumption is that what I’ve articulated here is IT. It is not.

If you like this video, you’ll like the channel:

If I remember correctly, it was Bioshock: Infinite. Ironic...to say the least Lol

There are unhealthy aspects of Green and Turquoise. The Psychologists aren’t just deciding to shit on them.

I have a sober lifestyle that doesn’t incorporate psychedelics. None of my consciousness originates from psychedelic practice. However, I have experimented with them to test the conscious insights they reveal and I vouch for them 100% By this, I don’t mean that they help 100% of all people nor do I mean they help the people that they benefit 100% of the time. But I certainly mean that they can and do greatly contribute to conscious-raising work. Now, with that said, Ralston is right that having these profound psychedelic experiences doesn’t automatically integrate them for you or make you higher-conscious. I completely agree that a person can experience being one with the Universe, for example, and still be consciously-immature. Yet, psychedelics don’t just give experiences. They also can shift perspective and consciousness directly and I don’t see how Ralston could argue with direct shifts in pure consciousness independent of the experiences themselves. Afterall, it seems like that’s what he considers to be consciousness-raising work. So I see Ralston’s points and they are valid. However, he doesn’t seem to have experimented with psychedelics deeply enough to see their full practicality. He says that the work “must come from YOU” but psychedelics are a part of you and your experience. What are we calling you and what are we calling not you? It seems to me that Ralston is just splitting hairs on what raises consciousness directly and what doesn’t.

Time is also infinite because there exist infinitely many forms to experience and infinitely many lives to live. Reality is infinite everything

?? Infinity is beginningless and was never created. It just IS pure is-ness

Yep exactly! It’s everything to an infinite degree Oh yeah, it’s absolutely endless. You’ll have an endless expedition while exploring such questions! Yeah that definitely could be. Complexity can be harder to integrate

I’m experiencing infinity 24/7. So yeah, I’m more certain of it than I am of my own thoughts ?

Except Voids are still things and vanishing is still a thing? Haha

To give some context to what I’m saying in light of this, I wouldn’t say that the senses hide consciousness because consciousness is everything, including the senses. Just a comparison between insights.

Yeah exactly! So think about it this way. If everything is made of consciousness then messing with things is messing with consciousness. So cutting open your brain messes with consciousness - not because consciousness is held within the brain - but rather because you’re manipulating consciousness itself. Because messing with other things also creates changes in experience. Like let’s say someone cut open your foot rather than your brain. That would change your experience as well by adding pain to it.

Another good one to add is Thingness Consciousness isn’t any one particular thing but it’s all things making it the essence of Thingness itself

Haha yeah that’s a way to put it. Have you ever heard the phrase “turtles all the way down”? Well picture an infinite stack of turtles that goes on endlessly with no top or bottom. Each object (including your turd Lol) is just one of those turtles. Whereas Consciousness, Time, and Space are the full endless stack. They go on infinitely just like the stack.

^^^

Haha the turd you just flushed is held within consciousness. It’s also held within time and space. I think most people think of consciousness as being outside of time and space. What I’m saying is that consciousness is Time and Space. It’s neither inside nor outside them. It’s them. So just like how Time itself is timeless and Space itself isn’t contained within space, Consciousness isn’t within time or space either because it’s those things themselves So yeah, I’d say there’s fundamental aspects that allow it to be infinite rather than limiting it.

Exactly Just like how Consciousness is Time itself (thereby not being contained within time) Consciousness is also Space itself. Therefore, Consciousness isn’t held within space because Space itself isn’t held within space. Hopefully that doesn’t sound confusing Lol

You may be overthinking too much. It’s deceptively simple Lol Look at the experience you’re having right now. Let’s say you’re in a room. The walls are objects within your experience. The floor is also an object within your experience. However, Consciousness isn’t just another object held within the experience. It’s the experience itself which includes all the objects. Consciousness contains all the objects

Yep!

@JayG84 When you say they are all One, yes. Consciousness is Time itself or Change itself which is why Consciousness isn’t contained within Time. It is Time and Time isn’t within itself. In other words, Consciousness becomes timeless (like everyone here is saying) by being Time itself! Time itself is timeless
