The “no-thing” you speak of is actually a thing. A thing that has a fundamental attribute of being formless. You are this formless thing. If you don’t like the word thing, use Being. Try your best not to deny the existence of God as this formless Being. You are close, but you have to bust through the mind games.

As long as you know that the entity that is doing the perceiving is indeed…..God ☺️

You can still be orange and blue and get some form of awakening. Don’t let your stage hold you back

God is formless and can’t be obliterated. That applies only to material form. This has nothing to do with realizing that you are God.

Hmm, you seem to be creating a duality of experience. All experiences happen within God's consciousness (otherwise known as your consciousness). It includes ego death, breakthroughs and everything in between. Your imagination is infinite. There is no separation, all of existence is a creation of your mind...whatever you can fathom, it's there.

Realizing that you are God is all that the journey entails. Anything outside of it is a lower jihad. With love, I humbly suggest you speak for yourself.

What would you say holds you back?

Yes. Also, Being God (let's not shy away from the explicit nature of the observer, which is creation itself). This is a good measuring stick for ones degree of consciousness / awareness / enlightenment / awakening. Thank you for your wise words @Username

What if you are the one that's full of shit? May want to contemplate the possibility.

You are criticizing the process of thought through your own thinking (we call this circular reasoning). This is your assumption, rooted in arrogance and denial.

Funny thing is that God is God, without having to think about it lol. God requires no such thinking or theorizing. True, but it's a question of capacity and degree. The One you speak of can be lost in some universes, and quite conscious in others.

The stuff people tell you are stories / fantasies that they have also constructed in their own minds. Stories and fantasies are like mind viruses that pass from generation to generation. Notice that you have no direct experience of a Buddha outside of what humans have told you. To take their words as Truth is the ignorance in which you speak about.

@Carl-Richard Ah I see, thanks for sharing. Totally understand that awakening and the process of surviving can conflict. There are ways in making them work together seamlessly, but you have to really know what you are doing. Best of luck with everything, hopefully you can return back to this work someday. Yes, it's a beautiful thing if you are able to. Good luck.

Not sure what is meant by this, can you please clarify?

Not a trick question. If you never met the Buddha, how can you say what he was really like (outside of the stories you've been told)? Even further, the Buddha (and his mental capacities), is something you are imagining as God. One who is truly awake understands this at a very deep level.

Did you ever meet the Buddha?

Hmm I see. For me, when awakening happens, it happens. There is no reversal. The degrees and variation of levels correlate with how conscious you remain in everyday existence...in multiple situations. For example, I have realized that I am God. But when I'm dealing with everyday annoyances (bad co-worker, congested traffic, routine health issues), recognizing that I am constructing all of it becomes difficult to maintain. I am working at constantly being aware / mindful

Speaking of which, I think it is imperative that @Leo Gura do a video on solipsism. I see a lot of members on the forum using this to mis-interpret certain facets of God realization. There is more than one universe, each of us inhabits our constructed universes as God.

Know that this is your bias against spiritual teachers. Yes their can be corruption, but you cannot ignore that their are genuine teachers / people in the world that genuinely want to bring awakening to people through their chosen expression / channel. In this case, that teacher will use language, and maybe other means to teach.

You can absolutely tell others what you have realized. You are missing that others can also come to the same realization that you have had. Most will think something is wrong with you...and you should test it out in your own experience and you will find this is the case. Many will resist the Truth that they are God, and that they have constructed their entire existence using their Mind. We all share the same mind....God's Mind. There is some Truth to this. However, one can truly express a genuine awakening through language. It's a limited expression trying to convey an infinite realization. But alas, it can be done.

When you say permanent God consciousness, does that mean you have realized that you are God?

Falsehood.

You have a right to feel that way, that's your choice. If you don't mind, tell us about your awakening?

Wrong. I asked you who is the Creator? The proper answer is You. Anything short of you realizing that you are God, and WHY you are God, means your awakening is incomplete. Direct consciousness transcends any clever play on words, not matter how poetic it sounds.

I see what you mean, and you are right. Enlightenment / Awakening doesn't happen for the human, it happens for God. @Shin .. you also get it ;-)
