    I don't necessarily love anyone any more in the the relative human sense. My love is very metaphysical and detached. Most people would not even consider it love.

    It's very subtle. It's a deep inner love for reality itself, not towards any particular person or thing. Imagine if you will that you just fell in love with the idea of reality itself.

    @Leo Gura You said in your video about Love that reality is a love simulator. I thought that trying to understand people more deeply would generate love towards them.

    For example, there are people I despise but if I put myself in their shoes and try to understand them, it naturally generates love. Not that I love them in the same way I love people that I like, but I love them more as "we are in this ship together and I understand you" kind of love. Is that what you're talking about?

    You are Eternal and you will continue to exist as the Eternal NOW forever, as you have been doing forever.

    @Leo Gura So when this body that I think I'm looking through the eyes now dies, what will remain? And if right now the only thing that exists is this moment - what I am aware of - and everything else outside awareness is just a thought,  if this body dies in this room I'll become the room? And then what?

    I feel that too and I love it. I stop and look around my room, how crazy it is to be here now and how is it even possible.

    I mean, from the current scientific perspective.. the chances of us getting right here right now are really small. so many coincidences had to occurr From planets colliding, to your grandparents metting. Every single change in every atom's position that ever occurred made this instance of the universe as we see it now

    But I don't like to go there. To me this is getting out of direct experience and going into imagination.

    When Ramana Maharshi got cancer his followers tried to get doctors to come look at him to heal him. His response was something along the lines of: "Who cares? It's just a body."

    When you are that awake you literally don't give a fuck about anything. No condition of life is better than any other.

    An fully awakened person cannot die. He is conscious forever, regardless of what happens to his body. So losing the body makes no difference.

    @Leo Gura How can he be conscious forever if God is eternaly playing the game of hide and seek?

    Help me understand. Right now I am conscious of my room, body, thoughts, sounds, sights, etc. Those are the perceived. If I try to find the perceiver, a thought appears (usually an image of my face or the whole body). This thought is also part of the perceived.

    Leo says everything is Consciousness.. And after contemplating this enough I think it's not quite accurate. Because consciousness implies something that is conscious and another substance that it is conscious of.. A subject and object. A perceiver and  a perceived. and that process is Consciousness. So 'you' are conscious of existence.

    It seems impossible to find a perceiver. Wouldn't that mean there's only the perceived?

    Yes, well, if you could understand what I meant you would become enlightened right this second. Ego must prevent you from understanding it. Your life hinges on you not understanding.

    I mean that colors and sounds and feelings are happening, but they are not happening to anyone, they are not happening to a human "you". As odd as this sounds, the colors and sounds and feelings that are happening right now are NOT happening to you. They are happening without you. But they are happening. I am not denying colors and sounds and feelings. I am just denying that "you" they seem to happen to.

    This is explained in great detail in my video: What Is Perception?

    I have watched that video 3 times and still don't get it haha.

    I might watch it again while on mushrooms. I know you have said that it's better to trip in silence and all, but this question about POV got me excited to try it.

    I never said anything about a rock having a POV. "Having a POV" IS the self! The problem here is not the rock's POV (which you imagine) but that you believe that YOU have a POV! That is the ego illusion. You don't really have a POV, there is Absolute Being, not a POV. Ego imagines the notion of POVs because it needs to feel like it has one. The entire notion of having a POV is wrong.

    What do you mean that I believe I have a POV? It seems like my POV is direct experience and cannot be wrong.

    @Cepzeu During mushroom trips, I feel like I can talk to God too. I ask something mentally and God responds. Sometimes is just like you said, I get the answer even before I finish the question.

    But after the trip, I get this bad feeling and doubt that I might be deluding myself. Because it certainly feels like I'm talking to myself and/or with a separate being (God) at the same time.

    How can I know for sure that I'm not delusional? I asked God that question, and the answer was what does it matter if it is God or Myself that I'm speaking to? But still, I have some doubts. Can you help me clear this out?

    Best way I have found to transcend desires is to deeply satisfy them.

    Yes, you can of course abstain from cravings and desires. But that rarely extinguishes them. They tend to come back.

    A year ago I sold my video game. But I still feel the strong desire to play sometimes. If I try to deeply satisfy this desire, wouldn't I be playing new games for the rest of my life and still not deeply satisfy the desire? On the other hand, If I don't try to satisfy the desire it will always come back, as you said.

    Maybe I will mature and naturally let go of it, without having to force it. Maybe it's just a matter of balance.

    Whatever object exists within "the world" -- God must imagine an infinite chain of causation that explains its existence.

    The story of every object stretches infinitely far in all directions and all dimensions, thus allowing it to exist here and now.

    God is a mind that spins an infinite story. So if you see a civil society existing on some planet, there must be an infinite story to explain how it got there.

    Yes! That's what I understood.

    But it's so weird how God can exist forever, no beginning no end, isn't it?

    Yes, your entire mind is just a bag of tricks you use to keep yourself locked in the illusion.

    Even your birth. It did not happen. Just a trick of your mind.

    If I focus on noticing the things I'm imagining as being real but outside the present moment, I see they are imagination/thoughts. 

    So the way to awaken is just to keep noticing how I imagine a world outside my perspective?
