To understand death you need to let go of your attachments / concepts and stop trying to understand everything mentally. It can be a lifetime process where lots of suffering might be necessary (though everyone has their own path) and learn to become humble. There are no 'how-tos' as you need to get there yourself but for now I can only assure you that you are NOT a speck of dust. You already answered to your question

I think you saw this because you imagine it being this way or you have been programmed into thinking so. This game or dream is nothing without you. PS. Once that speck of dust will disappear, you will become nothing. You still cling to that speck of dust. Be like a snowflake and melt (better do this through meditation, I don't recommend drugs because they can give you bad trips if you have shit unsolved).

Yeah, that's basically what quantum mechanics say and people don't get it. The observer is not the human body... the 'eyes' are everywhere.

Lol, you made me curious what he has to say. In your place, I would ask him why did he come up to such conclusions. You are his friend, you should show him your support. Maybe he's not psychotic.

The backstory is you and your memories, only that the image of you gets altered by the subconscious mind. Time and space are basically the same thing = color, shape, sound, taste etc. And yeah, we're living in a dual world. Non-duality is more like death to me.

There are things way beyond your imagination lol. If you haven't seen a damn thing, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. You have no idea. The world is a hierarchy, if the social order breaks then things could become pretty chaotic. Many people could also abuse the technology and create a lot of trouble. I have no idea what kind of technology they could possess but we are far from being evolved as species. Things could get crazy in a short time if they are in the wrong hands.

If you become conscious is anything you can do out of the ordinary other than standing passive like a tree? What's the purpose of searching for a higher understanding through mind altering substances if consciousness is all there is? It smells like hypocrisy here.

Hey, thank you for the link I don't remember the name but his face looks familiar, I guess that I saw a video once. As for the mindset, I think that I understand everybody's point of view here but there always have to be new insights/solutions for the challenges that we are facing together. My wish is to evolve together and act like a single organism because can't see how will a solitary path lead to anywhere. Everything is interconnected. Once we have the tools, we could be anywhere without too much pain in the a**.

I saw he had watery eyes when trying to convey a deep message so I cried with him. He transferred his emotion, without a doubt.

What matters is the message... those ears that hear will understand it anyway. I don't worry about deaf ears. Those who look at the looks, will miss the message anyway.

If I would be in your place, I would try to focus more on my perceptions and senses, rather than concepts.

It sounds like sleep paralysis but not sure what causes it. Have you ever had any other similar experience, or saw things inside your room while you were asleep?

I don't care. And cause and effect IS an illusion LOL. (have you thought that maybe my profile pic means something else to me?)

Bad things happen 'cuz they just happen. Life has up and downs, it's not always either black or white. I want us to evolve together and change the future into something amazing. But how we can do that?

Karma is BS. There are innocent people suffering and being tortured without any purpose at all. Cause and effect is an illusion anyway.

If it doesn't work for everybody, then maybe it is not a solution, nor an answer.

With all due respect for Leo's work and other's perseverance to bring peace to this world, but how does this "everything is your imagination" mindset actually help people suffering if they can't meditate or have psychedelic trips in a chill environment? There are people who have shitty lives and have no place to live, with debilitating diseases or mental issues... don't tell me that this is happening because of karma or thoughts. I'm trying to figure out why bad things happen, this can't be just a dream.

I hate seeing people suffer. If I become enlightened and see people having miserable lives, it makes me feel miserable too.

Lol what about bad lives vs bad trips?

I'm aware that I have a lot to learn but how does death reconcile with selflessness if it is imaginary? I want everyone to become enlightened, stop suffering and find forgiveness.

Yeah dude, but what happens when a human dies? You said that you will see the dual world that you see right now (to see you need to have sight). Riddles aren't helpful. In fact, no one knows what the heck happens, all are just assumptions.

Well they are part of me and I'm part of everything that exists. The inside/outside are just perspectives, nothing is actually separate. In order for you to exist, there has to be tiny forms of consciousness/matter existing in their trivial reality. I make no distinction between matter and consciousness, though the definitions might differ. For me consciousness is simply space time. When we die, we become stillness again. The future is made of things moving/transforming ie physical world, otherwise there would be no time. I'm in the future, past and present awareness. From my perspective, you shift according to everything. And I don't agree... it exists there for an eternity. If you acknowledged its existence, then you can't say that it doesn't exist anymore just because it's not in your sight anymore.

Not sure what would you expect to hear, an echo chamber of your own beliefs? If thoughts or subjective experiences aren't an explanation, then why do you contradict yourself?

Thanks for sharing that video, it was interesting but I need time to reflect on the concepts - not that they are foreign to me but some of them didn't make sense. But I will watch it again in case I missed something. As for the matter outside mind, this is not my interpretation. It appears to be outside or separate but body and mind are basically the same to me. The chemical processes in the brain ARE thoughts or dreams or whatever, so I see no distinction between matter and subjective experience, though we obviously perceive matter in a finite space-time. My point is that we can't experience infinity as it cannot be perceived by the finite mind/being. So in order to exist, the infinity is split into these finite manifestations/forms of matter. Quantum mechanics is a little bit weird but it doesn't imply that there is no matter, only that matter (let's call it Schrodinger's cat) exists in a superposition. If you're interested to hear a scientific explanation on the "many worlds" theory, please watch the video from my previous post as it could answer to the "tree" dilemma (obviously, it's just a theory that I subscribe to and nothing more).
