It is not the same thing, it is experientially different. It is like looking at the color red and the color blue and you're like "both colors are just thoughts inside your mind." It does not matter if the thing sourcing the person is make-believe, or if all of it is your "own perception", your experience has not changed a single bit, aside from what you think of it. You're still just thinking.

A creator of ego would simply be more ego, because the ego is a false perception. If you think the ego actually exists, that is mistaking the map for the territory. Your logic is flawed because it uses a false perception as its basis. There are many words and symbols which point to things that don't exist, such as "non-existence", "false", "incorrect", "impossible", "duality", etc. The word "ego" would fit perfectly into that category. Everything is a creation of God/Divinity, therefore by your logic everything is fooling itself. You have created a tautology which means nothing, other than to say "God = God" or "everything = deception." You are trying to understand God through some logical deduction, like "If x created y, then y = z." That won't work. You will just run into arbitrary tautologies ad infinitum because reality and intellect do not mix. It is like trying to divide by zero.

Are you sure you aren't defining "your mind" differently? Someone speaking creates sound waves. A loud noise/voice startles you as it alerts your nervous system. You cannot imagine a loud noise/voice to startle you through thought. Experientially, sound is a somewhat different phenomenon than what you hear in thought. Right, so you're creating meaning out of sound. Is that it? I would say the difference is that you are thinking rather than hearing. It's not a thought, it is sound. You can imagine sounds, but that is imaginary or thought-based and it behaves a bit differently experientially. Are you pointing to how your own sense organs have to interpret the sound waves first? That type of subjectivity?

Sound is not a thought. Are you pointing to the subjectivity of it? Like all the sounds are interpreted by me? It begins as a spoken word, then the mind translates it into meaning, then a personality structure, etc. That type of thing?

Bro you can't assign anything, that's an unnecessary input from your intellect. You don't have that power. You can't make something stop existing by thinking about it. You can't realize that something doesn't exist, you can only recontextualize what already exists. You can't realize sentience or a lack of it. Your experience simply says nothing about it. You previously believed your thoughts were sentient, now you don't. That's it. Previously, you were on the other side of the spectrum, where you said "my thoughts are sentient", now you are saying "my thoughts are not sentient", the reality is that neither is the case, your thoughts are just thoughts. A duality of sentient and non-sentient is more thought. Transcend the medium altogether.

Wow I guess we're all aliens

There's a very good reason why your ego is fooling itself* (From your ego's perspective, at least) Always interesting when people assign divinity to their ego being fooled by reality. Yeah there's quite a bit of that on the forum.

Hilarious if true. I always noticed that thinking about sexual things actually made it easier to escape sleep paralysis, it moves your mind away from that head space. So from a certain perspective your story makes sense.

Infinite amount. Many awakenings to chase after forever. Because there is an infinite amount of things that you can imagine and then unimagine, and then react in shock: "Oh my god, this thing I imagined doesn't exist! How profound!"

Why is that scary though? You think you've lost something? Did you lose control? Did you lose other people? But if you think that, it's just more thinking. The one who perceives the loss of something imaginary must also be imaginary. Throw the entire medium away.

I woke up today with like a night and day difference. It feels natural too. I realize that it is physical, and it feels like some kind of muscle is starting to develop there or something. It feels like previously there was some stored up trauma or something that was keeping my voice at bay, perhaps from previous incidents of lacking confidence or something. I think this would also explain the short learning curve, since it would mean my voice was already stunted and not at its baseline vocality. Will see if it lasts or whatever, I think it will.

True if it isn't consensual. People barely think twice about doing it though. People are odd.

No, it would be a result of sexual abuse. Just related to it. Also not all cases happen like that. Btw, the stuff where people get off from being humiliated or feeling humiliated, I believe it is some kind of cope, like "I will never be loved by another women because I am so worthless, so I will just make use of what I have and being called worthless will become part of my love/pleasure." This is just my own psychoanalysis. I have also noticed that people can perceive the same fetish completely differently, some completely just see it as roleplay, whereas some really do get their values and self-worth involved in it on a deep level.

Amazing resource dude, ty. I binged the entire playlist yesterday and learned so much and basically transformed my voice too. Fascinating how deep this stuff gets. It was surprisingly a lot of fun too.

People get this shit confused. "Femdom" just means dominant female. Not all femdom is getting kicked in the balls, that is a subset of femdom and an extreme form of it, same for paypigs or whatever.

Leo would also say that your table is imaginary so that doesn't mean much coming from him

Lol enjoy

Death is relative. Humans view it as existential and metaphysical because it is important to them and their survival. It says nothing about anything.

If you imagine you are talking to a wide audience or someone far away in a big room/stadium, it makes a difference quick. Even if you are alone in some small room or talking to one person, if you do this, the room will literally shake with your voice but you wont be shouting. You often underestimate how much strength is needed to create a confident and full-bodied voice, this imagery helps you to create that. Also face up, don't look down, as if you are talking to an audience on stage. Really, just imagine being on stage. Also, have confidence and fun with your voice. Add emphasis and inflection, as if you are a movie character or voicing a character. Also, take a big deep breath, you need a lot of air to fuel a bigger and more confident voice. When you're speaking, push that air out with your diaphragm all at once. Don't consciously decide how much air to use, just push it out through the diaphragm using the muscles around there when you need to. This is kind of imaginative, but really "move" with your voice. When you speak, move your hand and body with it, be expressive about it. Think back to the last time you were passionately explaining something to someone and you really wanted them to understand it. By the way, "forcing" it or stressing it wont work. Being loud wont work, there is more to voice quality than that. It will actually sound worse than if you let it flow out through proper technique. It should feel like a strong river flowing, not a short burst.

Figure out what things are first. How can you accept something when you don't even know what it is? There is nothing to accept or deny. There is just what you are. Figure it out.

Pretty good inquiry actually, just watched. Cool visuals too.

Self-inquiry? Are you trying to make me realize no-self or something? I'm looking for solipsism and alien consciousness, not some boring state of no self. That's old news, I've realized that a bunch of times already. There's much more to discover in consciousness, it's infinite after all. You're not gonna transform into a cartoon wolf by doing self-inquiry, so you might as well just quit.

Interesting, didn't think of it like that

We need Leo to tell the alien it isn't AWAKE™ and then send it off to its home planet with some DMT

My pleasure
