People are really taking these teachings beyond where they’re meant to be taken off of probably a rather partial awakening process. They’re missing the Love, becoming enraptured in beauty. They’re missing sitting at a family gathering in a high consciousness state and thinking of all the amazing relative gifts you’ve been given. @mp22 YOUR LIFE STORY IS THE STORY OF GOD’S LIFE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. TREAT ABSOLUTE PERFECTION WITH ITS DUE APPRECIATION ? That’s my message to people worried about no meaning and everything. If you saw the scope, you’d see the meaning. Would it be some immutable Absolute meaning? No, but it sure is amazing. Sorry for the caps, but seriously guys. If you haven’t had the deep love/beauty/pure consciousness awakenings enough to transform nihilism of any sort, focus on trying to create that next. It is the foundation for a safe and accurate understanding and use of the teachings. Part of the teachings is an inherent dedication and love toward life. That’s really one of the requirements to try to attain as early as possible imo.

I need to get back on it. I’ve taken a break from the last two. I’ve just had so much transformation recently it seems kinda silly to watch videos.

You as God. This is the idea at least. If you had to have conscious control of everything you created at all times, you’d be the weak sauce of all deities. Do you beat your heart or release white blood cells or is there a separate consciousness running all of these things?

This is quite baseless epistemically speaking. You aren’t going to solve the solipsism question... It’s impossible to fully verify either way beyond all doubt that there is consciousness which you are not experiencing right now or that there isn’t other consciousness.

God-Realization contains within it everything really. Any serious spiritual practice or technique will bring you closer in due time. Leo explains so many different techniques in videos and forum guides/posts. Why not do the work to explore the resources he’s already made about these approaches? Everyone’s path will be incredibly unique with all things considered. You’d probably be better off to see which techniques really work for you and resonate with you than to follow a straightforward God-Realization for Dummies guide. Leo can give you some good maps and a compass if you’re lucky, but you’re the captain of your own ship.

If you can count an "actual entity" and seriously regard it as that, you're incapable of seeing the nondual solipsist's view.

What is "Against Solipsism" here? This just looks like a definition of solipsism. Yes, your minds appear as valid as the subconscious mind in the solipsist model. You say this like a nondual solipsist would likely think the subconscious mind is something that exists outside of consciousness which is probably unlikely.

I will give you an alternative suggestion. You need to be building an experience of no-mind in my opinion. This is essentially becoming so present and in flow of effortless existence that all mind activities essentially disappear while they can still be done. This is a lot like what many people seek for in meditation. No thoughts. But no-mind can have as many thoughts as it wants without thinking. You've probably accessed this at least briefly in the context of flow states. Some people don't access no-mind and No-Self through meditation very well. Doing activities you're really passionate about, especially if they have an intellectual component, can help produce no-mind states. Eventually, acting out of your true Authenticity with less and less resistance will bring you into no-mind if you're anything like me. What is the point of no-mind in all of this? It is to show the illusory nature of the thinker. It is to realize that this was never a solid basis for what you could truly call a self to any permanent degree. Intellectually realizing this and experiencing it in the manner I'm suggesting are completely different.

I came into non-resistance by first developing a regular no-mind state. This happened most organically by focusing on my passions. It was also a result of many different spiritual practices. Then, one day I realized that I had been in no-mind so often that the awareness being pointed to the no-mind state in this moment caused an awakening. I can do everything in my day with no-mind. Eventually with some further contemplation on the nature of Self, I ran into a strong No-Self awakening. Now I fully can recognize the ego, but the resistance is gone because I know there's nothing to do. I'm not doing the ego's activities. They do themselves. I watch as the ego lives its life and accept the union between this identity and the non-doer.

You’ll have to really have a strong desire in most cases. Intense suffering can be good for giving the motivation needed. Regardless, there are not rules to enlightenment really. It’s always a unique process. Maybe something in your life will work out to where you do become enlightened with happiness and peace as motivation. It would probably happen due to a change in heart and greater passion to know God or something similar that stemmed from experiencing the peace and happiness you want.

The idea that mushrooms cause more psychotic breaks than say LSD is probably just flat out false if you had the real data. Shrooms were safer than marijuana in one study which examined emergency room visits relative the the total number of people engaging in using that substance. Marijuana causes psychotic breaks in both people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is incredibly unlikely that shrooms will act in some way that is more dangerous than other serotonergic psychedelics. Yeah, if you do 50ug of LSD then take 20 dried grams of shrooms and go psychotic, don’t be surprised. It’s more of a dose issue than a specific substance when we’re talking about such things. What you should really worry about is substances that not only stimulate serotonin systems but dopamine systems as well. This is stuff like MDMA and other stimulant-type psychedelics. LSD is more of a worry than shrooms here, but it’s really not that dangerous for breaks when compared to more dopaminergic drugs. Simply drinking too much coffee can cause a psychotic break which could result in uncovering a dormant mental illness. I had a manic episode from Prozac (prescribed) and a couple shots of espresso.

Ayahuasca is in a completely different category. It was hardly even psychoactive. I just went to sleep for the trip. It felt like it realigned my spirit after the experience was over. Many lasting changes in my abilities have come from a single ayahuasca ceremony.

Okay, sorry man. Look, I don’t want no trouble. I swear I won’t claim awakening against your undisclosed connotation of the word. Seeing as you have the ability to define my spirituality for me, can you please be my guru? I’m so thankful to be in the presence of your humility, empathy, and naturally supportive character traits.

I was in a rather pleasant highly conscious state with focus directed toward a certain “chakra” I’ve been working on lately while I was driving today through the countryside with rather nice weather. Near one of the peak moments of this experience, I began to recall a distant childhood memory. It was of a specific instance where I looked at a specific toy at my aunt’s house on a sunny day much like today where my cousins and other kids were playing outside. This exact moment had a certain “existential aesthetic” and context which resonated with me so heavily that I started to experience intense nostalgia. At this moment when nostalgia was becoming intense, I thought about how we will never get those precious memories back. Upon having that realization, I started to filter through different “emotional/visual snapshots” of many different personally significant life events such as losing my virginity, and plenty of other more unique and seemingly inconsequential things that I experienced. This quickly transitioned into a flood of memory-like imaginations/daydreams about the past times in that exact location. I saw human death, prehistoric animals, dinosaurs, a lifeless planet, void space, and even more complete Nothingness than that. This was an experience of Infinite Intelligence or contacting Intelligent Infinity as Ra calls it in the Law of One books. This was clear. There’s so much to the moment which I cannot even grasp now. It may sound like a cool daydream, but this was a very intense “awakening.” I’m not as thrilled about this word as I used to be. I’ve had so many experiences in this tier that my life is becoming more or less a constant awakening or at least moderately awakened state. For example, I usually rest in no-mind which is essentially the prerequisite for No-Self experiences for many people. Being in no-mind so often is quite interesting. I was in no-mind during most of the writing of this post. But yeah, the point of this post is basically just to discuss an interesting experience I had in case people want more data on such things.

The young age is quite a lucky thing though. I know what you mean.

Do you ever do anything other than downplay someone else’s subjective experience? What exactly is delusional about my post?

Hey, do you care to show me something that isn’t a subjective experience that happens inside the mind?

@knowyourroots no problem. Two voices is just two streams of thoughts at once. It’s not a huge concern. I’ve had similar before in a sense.

Follow your greatest desire wherever and whenever possible. It’s that simple really. If Truth is that greatest desire, then go for it. It’s a worthwhile goal.

An intermediate step in my life purpose is to create a “peer support” service for people. It may need to be marketed as something different due to legal reasons. It is similar to life coaching but geared toward areas where I have unique expertise. It is also going to be intended to be less formal than life coaching. The point of the service is to give guidance to those who value my perspective on key areas which my life experience has allowed or rather forced me to become an expert in. A first step with this is to build online presence. My primary platform which I see as being geared toward supporting this would be Youtube. Building a website and moving to all other major social media platforms would be steps to take early on or after a bit of foundation has been built. The main issue is not the value I can provide. This has been developed to a sufficient degree to aid clients in several areas. The issue is merely marketing and scale. I may end up creating an entirely new channel focused on this with a matching public image. I’ve heard TikTok is quite good for building online presence right now. I’m mainly looking for any good information related to building an online audience and stream of potential clients.

Well, from the looks of this thread, the now is pure mental masturbation ?

I’ve found that using my imagination to focus on new and meaningful possibilities for myself helps me to enjoy the whole God thing. It’s a question to yourself about what you want to make and experience in life knowing that so much is now possible.

This is not double awareness. This is two voices appearing as personalities occurring within what you are which is a unified field of awareness.

You are developing tools to use to transcend the ego and previous limits. Your ego has been behind this entire spiritual process. Even once you awaken to No-Self, an ego still operates. There’s still much more territory to cover if you wish to continue past that point, and you’re going to need to work with your ego’s patterns to have any intentional change.
