@actualizing25 Alright I get what you mean. I get that it's one homogenous field of consciousness which imagines it all. But still, why would all the fishes end if one fish merges with the ocean?

If a fish merges with the ocean then what's left? I would say the ocean's point of view. Why does the ocean's POV not include all the fractions in it when one of the fraction merges with it?

Why are most spiritual scriptures based on duality? For example, in the Bhagavad Gita there is also a clear distinction between the field and the witness of the field. Or in tantra, they definitely differentiate between the substances of Shiva and Shakti. Or in the Samkhya philosophy or in the Yoga Sutras they clearly differentiate consciousness (Purusha) from primal matter (Prakriti) (as if there was primal matter ). Many of these philosophies really claim that there are 2 different substances in reality. Why do so many differentiate consciousness from energy? After my realization that all form consists of the formless and that the knower is known, these dualities do not sound truthful. Consciousness never mets anything else than itself. However, many enlightened people like Sadghuru made a distinction between these 2 and that the universe came into being when these 2 substances met. What do you all think? I'm interested to hear your view!

Hello I'm pretty well anchored in nothingness. I am fully aware that everything I have experienced takes place in nothingness and that I am that nothingness. But how can you realise that my brother, for example, is also in the same shared nothingness? Because it feels like I am only aware of the dream of this body-mind-world phenomenon. However, I assume that there are an infinite number of dreams and that nothingness is also aware of my brother's feelings. How did you realise nothingness as that that is absolutely aware of all possible phenomena and not just the "reality" of a single body mind world?

Yes I absolutely understand this but are you actually aware of that? Because I am not and that's why I'm here

Yes well said. In that sense it was always the absolute which become aware of itself and never the person. The only thing to do is to become aware of it I'd say.

Yes thats a start! I know my Self as pure Consciousness but still to go from realizing what consciousness is to becoming conscious that this consciousness is imagining the whole universe into being is quite a step! What helped you to realize yourself as the absolute god? 5-MeO-DMT?

I know what you mean but I'm not actually demanding to experience my brother's life. I'm concerned on how some people became aware that they are full godhead / Infinite Consciousness. Because if I would have realized this, I would understand that my brothers thoughts are me and that I was imagining the whole universe into being.

@VeganAwake Of course but you can go so deep until you realize that it was always you! That you were always god experiencing all thoughts. Leo for example has gone so deep until he realized that he was the full godhead. With this contribution I wanted to find people who realized infinite consciousness.

yes that is quite necessary for me.

@VeganAwake wait I explain briefly where I am: for the past 18 years i thought that i was person A and interacted with person B, for example. A short time ago I realized that I was never person A but the nothingness in which it all takes place. This leaves me with the realization that person A and person B are part of the dream. I, as awareness, am currently only aware of person A's thoughts. I am now trying to understand how consciousness is also aware of person B's thought. :-)

I am aware that the self-other distinction is imaginary and I am also aware that all i know of my brother is me and yes I would totally agree that my awakening is very far from complete. I am aware that my ego takes place exactly like my brother in me and everything else that is currently in my direct experience. However, I am aware of this direct experience and not all of the direct experiences. I assume that you have a direct experience too . And I'm looking forward to realise that the "Nothingness" in which my experience occurs , is the Nothingness where everything occurs (my dogs sensations etc.) and not just this experience right now.

thank you for all of these answers. As I expected there is no answer as to how it works. But still absolutely fascinating that it works. @Leo Gura it seems like this is how we behave when consuming 5-MeO. Very abstract but I like it. @Dumuzzi Interesting. the theory could possibly really go in this direction. thank you @billiesimon Yes the interesting question remains!

Hi Has anyone already looked at how 5-MeO DMT works? I mean how is it possible that you consume a material substance (which is ultimately consciousness) and then, as Leo says, experience pure consciousness. Various sciences have shown that DMT is produced in our and many other systems. But in my opinion it is wrong to say that consciousness is produced in any system. But still this substance is produced in systems and lets us realise the absolute. So how does this whole process work? Any books, videos, contributions on this topic would also be interesting.

@Kensho nice thanks for that answer! My own answer to this question was going in a similar direction. I had very deep experiences with my NN-DMT breakthrough, but I can only say what happens, not how. I will also consider Leo's video on psychedelics.

@Dand Alright thanks for that!

@Leo Gura that makes so much sense.

this is a question for leo and everyone else who has had many experiences with 5-meo-dmt: Since it really is one of the strongest and most effective substances, it would be interesting to find out more about the side effects of 5-meo-dmt. This instant boost in consciousness is a massive intervention in the nature of being and its energy, and it would therefore be interesting to hear whether someone experiences any side effects such as nerve damage or energy problems.

@Peo Thanks for your answer. Hope your brother is good now.

@Leo Gura very interesting, thanks alot.

alright that sounds amazing! And what is the relationship between the state of consciousness before and after a solid trip? By this I mean rather whether you are back in your ordinary state of consciousness after a few days after the trip or whether it is sometimes also possible to embody the realization? What was your experience with the integration and embodiment of various 5-meo-dmt experiences? I really appreciate that you take the time to write people back. that is so generous
