    Are we really entertaining that God at its ultimate is a two-forked road between nihilism and non-nihilism? Is God a philosopher now? How convenient for the intellectually and philosophically minded. What is this cognitive dissonance? Is that all you see of life and reality? Ground yourselves. This is like imagining a dirt house and thinking "I'm gonna live in my imagination because that's what God wants."

    What is the most obvious and simplest explanation? That God is a philosopher who juggles between meaning and nihilism? Or that God is being anthropomorphized by a human ego?

    If triangles had a God they would give it 3 sides. If humans had a God they would give it an existential nihilistic crisis.

    'We' are in A Dream that came from Nothing and will go back to Nothing.

    I am Nothing. You are Nothing. Form is Nothing. Real Self or 'I' is boundless Nothing.

    Thought creates world, death, life, universe, time, others, and you. Surrender all thoughts and stay as Blissful Nothing. That is the End until so call dream with form ends.

    Also in regards to solipsism, here´s a phrase Ralston said in one of Leo´s interviews:

    "Having grasped who I am, you would assume I´d know what others really are. But ignorance works in mysterious ways. (Laughs)"

    So basically the question of others do not make sense because thought creates that question. Boundless Nothing is the only Real Self. 

    That's pretty damn accurate as a summation.

    The "surrender" is really just a clear perception that that you cannot be inside the content of thought. It is a clear recognition of the nature of experience and how it contains itself. Once you see it you can't unsee it, and that is so called "enlightenment."

    So what you are saying is that the thought about oneself is the one that builds the 'barrier' again?

    Or you are even saying the 'barrier' is also a thought. 

    Ego can only ever be thought.

    All "I" statements are thought.

    All "I" statements are limitations because they are divisions and separations. All separation is limitation.

    You are being aware of thoughts of limitation, like "I am this or that."

    You, as unbounded infinite awareness, are being aware of the thoughts, but not being in the thoughts. Awareness can't be limited by what it is aware of, because it can't be inside of what it is aware of. You can't read a story while being in the story.

    Trying to get rid of barriers is like trying to get rid of unicorns. You can't get rid of what is inside of imagination because only something which exists inside of imagination could do that. You are not someone who hunts unicorns. You are not someone who hunts down barriers. You can only realize that you aren't inside of imagination in the first place.

    There are various levels and degrees to imagination.

    All of which would have to be imaginary. Like imagining blue and yellow unicorns.

    Also you have to consider that imagination is infinite- allowing you to imagine or incarnate into a finite being.

    Finite is thought.

    You are aware of the thought of being finite, like "I have incarnated into a body/unicorn."

    You are being the thought, not being in the thought.

    You can't be inside of what you are aware of.

    You can't read a story while being in the story.

    The you can die but still remain in physical form.  This doesn't take away that you died and became God - it just means that you retained physical form.   With this retention comes the return of the ego. Of you, if you will.  At this point, terrified of death because in death it loses all existence or meaning- which is ultimately the same thing. So now - it will fight agains its dismissal with everything in its power.

    Ego can't do any of that because unicorns can't do any of that.

    The ego is any story or statement you make of it. You can't read a story while being in the story. You are being aware of things, not being in what you are aware of.

    The idea that the ego can return is itself ego. There it is, right there, in the idea: "the ego will return."

    Are you saying the body isn't imagined? 

    Quote from the edited version:

    Quote

    If the body is being imagined at a higher level, then the body and the higher level are both imaginary.

    Meaning, there is no higher level, because higher level is in contrast to ego/body, which itself is imagination and thought. The entire thing is ego/imagination.

    The body is just a firmer or higher level of consciousness not accessible to the ego system.

    Ego is thought.

    Your statement relates itself to ego, therefore it confirms the existence of ego, therefore it is ego. Because it claims that the body relates to ego in some way. 

    Therefore, the formulation in the sentence is itself is just thought and ego.

    Use hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Make sure to floss regularly, work your way up to it slowly if your gums are weak and bleed easily. Brush your tongue and also the top of your mouth. If it is a natural hydroxyapatite toothpaste, it is essentially going to be entirely edible, you don't have to rinse with water and it is recommended you don't (just spit all of it out without water) and I find that this helps keep the oral microbiome in check for longer (clean, no bad breath). The toothpaste I use has sorbitol and peppermint oil in order to mediate the oral microbiome, so maybe look for those.

    Control what you eat, make sure it is not overly sticky and carby. It should be something that your saliva easily breaks down and emulsifies. Essentially stick to whole foods.

    In the morning I eat 1 tbsp of butter and coconut oil and coat the inside of my gums and teeth with it, gives it a protective layer. I'll have 1 tbsp at the end of the day too. Let food be your oral medicine. 

    Chew thoroughly and properly. Should be like baby food at the end. You can imagine you're chewing as if there is a rock or needle in the food. It's important that your saliva properly lubricates the food and mouth.

    Make sure your mouth isn't dry. Hydrate.

    25 years of old conditioning

    There is just the thought. The thought is equivalent to conditioning.

    Being aware of the thought "25 years of old conditioning" is the conditioning and subsequent identity which is felt currently, as the thought. You are being the thought, not being in the thought.

    25 years can't be thought of, or experienced.

    25 years is not caused by 25 years. 25 years only exists from the vantage point of "25 years after."

    25 years is thought, in every sense.

    You are aware of the thought "25 years", you are not being in the thought.

    Thought is not caused by what happened 25 years ago. Conditioning is not caused by what happened 25 years ago. You cannot experience the cause of experience. Conditioning is felt currently, as the thought.

    The idea that mind/ego has a paradigm and gets crushed, is itself mind/ego.

    Like saying: "How come unicorns keep coming back after having their paradigms crushed?"

    The idea of an ego, is ego. Don't confuse the map for the territory. Don't fight ghosts. Fighting ghosts is ego. Ego is a ghost.

    The idea of awakening, going here, doing this and that to rid yourself of ego, is itself ego. Conception. Separation. Division.

    Look at how the thoughts feel. Look at how the division feels. Look at who is being aware of thoughts and division. You are not in thoughts/division, you are being aware of it. You can't read a story while being in a story.

    There is no reason beyond reason. Reason is imagination. All is uncaused. You are uncaused. Reason is uncaused. Imagination is uncaused. Imagination can't cause anything therefore reason can't cause anything. You are aware of what is caused, therefore you are not in the cause.

    And of course i realized that death is infinite love bc all the distractions of the mind would die with physical death.

    Luckily, mind is not physical.

    Mind can "die" before body dies. 

    "Body" is itself mind.

    "It" can happen without having to wait for death. It can happen right now.

    I laid on a bed and i my mind started to become more and more empty, i forgot the reality outside my room and i started to have less thoughts, until i could barely remember that I existed and had a body.

    I felt the powerful infinity and pleasure of the present moment, i realized that the infinite pleasure and love can be grasped when the mind turns off.

    This stupid buddhist framing of "Nothing".

    5 minutes ago, Thought Art said:

    Something like God had to create itself before it existed. Because, even non-existence and before God was always actually a part of God. God created itself with literally nothing. God had to create itself before it existed. God Created itself.

    It's not nothing. It's God.

    You fail to realize that this is a koan you've created, which points to nothing.

    Sound of one hand clapping.

    Sound of a tree falling with no one around to hear it.

    Sound of God creating itself before it existed?

    :D

    If I let go of my stories. What remains?

    Nothing changed except the thought of it. Your thought of it. Your understanding of it. Which was "false" in the same way that there can't be a unicorn that understands things.

    There can't be "you" which "understands" or thinks of "it" or anything at all because there aren't any "things" aside from the thought of "things." Thought can't understand thought. A thought about things can't understand another thought about things. Recursion error. Catch-22.

    Onto the question of "what remains?"

    Assuming you also let go of the story that there is "you" which can "let go of stories", then what remains can only be...

    Nothing. No things. Not a thing. Infinity. Nothingness. Non-definitiveness. etc.

    Btw I don't know why you use words like "you expect it to be" or "you want proof" and stuff like that, when none of that is true, never suggested or said any of those things. I literally took the whole view 'consciousness is the only thing that exist' all for granted for the sake of the discussion and pointed out the implications that comes with the view and based on your responses you seem to outline the exact same implications just as I did.

    Because it seems like you think that something can't exist.

    Imagination cannot not be imagination - thats what I meant by existential limitation. The ground is imagination and cannot be anything other than that.

    Every single thing that exists can't not be itself. That means everything that exists by your definition is an existential limitation. It seems like a redundant conceptualization to me, but you do you.

    I agree that duality is imaginary, but that does not make it false. Imaginary does not equal false, the imaginary describes a reality, in fact that is its function. reality moves and duality maps its movement. If there were no movement, there could be no imagination.

    It is not the imagination that creates the movement, but the movement that creates the imagination, then, as there is a movement in the breadth and depth of perception, there is an idea, imagination, duality, of the levels of perception. 

    It is "false" in the sense that you can't ever be what the imagination points to, because every single thing it points to is divided and limited.

    You can't imagine something which is not a thing. You can't imagine nothing, otherwise it stops being imagination. Meaning, you can't imagine something which is not limited by another thing, otherwise it stops being imagination. A thing is always limited by other things because it is relative. Which means you can't ever be dual or limited, because you are the one imagining. 

    You are imagining, but you aren't imagining yourself. If you imagine yourself, that splits you into two: the one imagining and the one that is being imagined. It creates a recursion error. You have created an imagination which tries to point to experience, but that imagination has to be part of experience. You can't use yourself to point to yourself.
