What if being/non-being is a trap and we can change the rules in the real world too?

What if this world is similar to a dream and by "lucid dreaming" we learn how to manipulate reality?

The mind tricks the body tricks The mind

Why don't you focus on your senses instead of concepts, theories? If you want to evolve from a monkey to an alien, then explore this world and understand the mechanisms behind the illusion. If you want ego death and let existence be, then let it be. Personally, I'd rather admit that I know nothing. Don't fall into the "I know everything" trap.

"Before enlightenment; chop chop, carry water. After enlightenment; chop chop, carry water."

Only if you want to expand your consciousness and evolve from a speck of dust to God. I don't know really, I didn't find a purpose yet either.

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.
