Someone here

What eternal unmoving moment you are talking about ? Are you living in the same reality as us ? Everything is constantly changing. Time is ticking. And you only got so much left .so you better take responsibility for the thoughts you feed your mind . If that's what you believe will happen..then that's what will happen .because your thoughts create reality .don't underestimate the power of thoughts and beliefs. I'm telling you literally whatever you imagine that follows death. Is what's gonna happen. Well,I will have to aske you what do you mean by enlightenment exactly? This word has been so overused to the point no one knows what the fuck it means anymore. Same thing with words like "love " or "happiness ".so I ask you to define the term first . Yes .what was your state before you were born ? You were completely formless. Then magic ? happend ..God said "let there be light " and here you are . To think that you will end up in a black blank void after death is improbable to me. Because here you are .you exist .you were born once .why not born again? And again? And a gain ? To infinity....Well you get your answers.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread trying to help me .I sincerely appreciate it .however It's too much replies and too much text that I am unable to respond to all of them. All I will say I just came home from the main mall in my city. I approached two girls..one told me "leave Me alone or I will call the security ". The other girl was more open ..even though she also rejected me .but she took my phone number .and I don't know if she will call me or not . So just reporting how its going with me recently. Thanks again .

No not through psychedelics. Through my sober awakenings which usuallycome from deep contemplating and smoking lol, I can never picture the exact reality that comes after death but I know its gonna be whatever I imagine it to be . what you believe, must be real. At least until it gets replaced by the truth. Maybe an example would help: When I was about seven years old, I was out in my neighborhood around dusk. I happened to look at the roof of a house and I saw a rat run across the top of the roof. It climbed to the other side and a second later, a bat flew up from that spot. I asked an adult standing near me, “Do rats turn into bats?” He told me “Yes!” For the next ten or so years I honestly believed this to be true. It was part of my reality. And I just assumed that everybody agreed that it was true. The subject never came up. One day I had a flashback of that moment. I suddenly realized that that adult had lied to me. My reality got replaced by the truth. I was set free from the lie.

We are all looking for happiness. If we are honest that's all we fucking care about. But Because it is our optimal state of being. It seems however, the more we look for it, the more it eludes us. Why? Because we keep searching for happiness in the wrong place. In satisfying our own limited ego. If we look for happiness within then it be found

Well..because by far ..it is the best feeling in the world. Can you think of a healthy example of something that feels as near good ? I said "healthy " because you could argue that cocaine feels better . I cling to the personal idea that sex is NOT something to share with a special someone as an expression of love. I d feel comfortable with the idea of having sex for pleasure. But still...Within a committed relationship, sex is one of the key elements that help to foster the level of intimacy you will never get anywhere else, with anyone else. It is a wonderful beautiful thing. Outside of a committed relationship, sex is a helluva lot of fun and feels *really* good.

I agree .I have to take action .I try but I fail .so I try again .but I fail again. So is it just a matter of trying til ya get lucky some random time? Also ,I get too lost in theory instead of action. How do I take action and start improving my life, instead of just planning? I always try and make the perfect plan (not that it’s a bad thing) instead of just taking action. I know I should take action but I never do. How do I take action instead of constantly planning?

Im not in a place in my development where relationships don't matter .honestly ,to me it matters a ton. And it affects my self-esteem . Even my mood and my drive to get out of bed at the morning. So I believe that success in the dating aspect of my life influences my overall happiness. So I wanna learn how to get better at it .

Hey mate..what am k supposed to do with all these links? At least try embedding them ? I will try to take a look them .but better next time to post something from your original thoughts and opinions instead of linking videos.

Why is it a problem? I'm being brutally honest and clear about what i want . And to be honest I just want some sex .I don't care about long-lasting relationships.

I disagree .we are here to be happy .what's the point of living If you cannot be happy ? I mean that's why people end up killing themselves. They can't be happy . The only question is how to generate genuine deep happiness in your life . It matters and matters not at the same time . You really need a course in not conflating the relative with the absolute jk lol? And I'm all for that too.i want money and sex and yachts and ferrari cars yada yada ..but sometimes I get the Insight that no matter what you do ..it doesn't fucking matter ..you will never be satisfied by anything less than infinity. Because you are Infinity. So you can only be satisfied by the Totality of yourself.

Exactly. You should do what brings you joy externally. Nothing wrong with that .but only after you establish a source of inner joy. So that when the external resources run out from you..you don't fall into depression and misery with evey whim.

Is it possible that in the future ,Science will invent anti-aging technology that prevents humans from Aging and therefore from death ? Is this fundamentally possible or not ?and why or why not? Can we achieve the dream of immortality with enough science work. I mean who knows what could happen or be invented in let's say 5000 years from now (if humanity still existed ). Thoughts ?

Here's the Wikipedia page on stoicism : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism And Here's the Wikipedia page on hedonism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonism Which philosophy is more appropriate to embody in our lives ?

When a kid asks his parents "where did I come from "? The parents tell him that they gave birth to him .but then the kid goes asking "but where did you guys come from "? And the parents say "well,we too were born from our parents and so on " but then the kid asks "where did all of it come from ? ". The question that the kid is asking is basically "where did all of reality come from "? And the parents either say that they don't know or more likely to say that "god created us ". But then of course the kid asks "but who created God " ? And the parents here get frustrated and say "well, nobody created God. God is just God. He is eternal " in other words its just the way it is. We've hit rock bottom .there is nothing more fundamental than God. And notice that this is not a mechanical answer .it's a mystical answer .it basically says that things are the way they are because God did it .and God just IS. Nobody created him . This is following the principle of Occam's razor. Occam's razor demands that the simplest explanation should be accepted as truth unless there is sound reason for believing that it isn't the simplest explanation. It therefore stands to reason that thought should be seen as the only ingredient within reality...there is no such thing as thought independence, so called material reality can be dismissed as an unnecessary theory. The whole of reality can be conceived as existing within the realm of thought alone. In other words, we know thought exists because we experience it directly, material reality is only a supposition...a supposition that is not required to explain reality, therefore one we can cut away with the razor. God is the encompassment of all thought, everything else that thinks is a subset of Him, dependent on him, though not necessarily controlled by Him. However..If we truly follow along with Occam's razor..then the most accurate explanation to reality is that there is no explanation. Reality just exists .its a brute fact .reality itself is rock bottom .reality itself is God. We cannot go more fundamental than qualia/consciousness to talk about the brain and the neurotransmitters etc. No .the simplest answer is that reality exists .and that's all we know .that's the bottom line.

@Leo Gura you teach that our minds are imagining reality . Just like how when we dream at night we are imagining the entire dream world into existence. I have a simple question..why can't I willingly and consciously materialise a million dollar $ or a hot partner to have sex with? Fundamentally, existentially what exactly is preventing that ? No matter how much time and effort into thinking and imagining an apple (or any object for that matter ) I can't manifest it .what is ,Fundamentally preventing this? in your "radical explanation of God realization " video ,you talked about how in an infinite state of consciousness or "god mode ". . You can literally construct or materialise anything into existence just by imagining it .that sounds like a cool feature of consciousness to me. So what is required to access this "god-mode " and have access to all the "cheat codes "in reality ? So my question summarised : what is preventing me from imaging a unicorn into existence just by thinking about it ? Is it the laws of this universe? But are these laws really "real"? Doesn't that prove that there is an objective external reality that is independent of our mind /consciousness/Imagining? Thanks in advance.

You can have fun all you want .just dont fool yourself into thinking that material possessions will ever make you truly happy . If you ask what does it take to be happy? Well..Nothing at all. I am happy. Happy while employed, unemployed, sick, healthy, single, married, regardless of who is in political office, during COVID, etc. All that is needed for happiness is found within.

Because its boring being in God mode and having magical powers to literally imagine anything you want into existence. So you have put some limits on yourself so that you can cosplay as human to experience maximum diversity of emotions and experiences. In God mode you are omnipotent and you can have whatever you want just by imagining it into existence. In the human form you have to struggle to get the goodies.

Of course there are levels of Consciousness bro .are you telling me that a drunk person's Consciousness is the same as a sober persons Consciousness? Consciousness is our perception of cognitive events and stimulus. Every perception in life is a different cognitive event. There are as many types of consciousness: Quark Consciousness is a bit too hectic. Proton Consciousness is so lonely. Atom Consciousness is downright dervishly dizzying. Molecule Consciousness is Hungry Hippos for electrons. Cell Consciousness is certainty of a unique intent. Body Consciousness is sufficient individuality. Body/Mind Consciousness is sentience. Body/Mind/Self Consciousness is human. Self Predominates Consciousness is enlightenment. Self Predominates Sensory Input Consciousness is God Consciousness. Self Solely Seen Consciousness is Unity Consciousness. Self Without Witness Consciousness is BRAHMAN. Standard neuroscience says there are three ordinary ones: wakefulness, non-REM sleep, and REM sleep. However, by any rational standards, what’s called Stage sleep is its own state. Most people don’t even realize it’s sleep; it’s the period where you’re still dimly aware of the outside world, are fighting off sleep, and your thoughts are running off the rails into nonsense. The only reason it’s not listed with the other three is that it’s too transitory to study well. Another distinct state that isn’t listed that almost everyone experiences at least a few times is the disorientation upon being awakened from deep sleep. It’s called “sleep drunkenness” if its pathological, but I know of no name for the ordinary version. The number of aberrant states of consciousness is large. Your SOC is determined by the individual levels of four brain chemicals (histamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) and there are many more possible combinations of levels than the ones that create the states I’ve mentioned. Back to manifesting..you are GOD .Full stop. You are God cosplaying as a human .you have infinite creative potential. You could literally create entire worlds in a finger snap .but you have deliberately denied that possibility from your current dream/human existence to make it more challenging and interesting. Because if you are in God mode ..you are infinite and eternal and you have everything that could ever possibly be created .so its kinda boring .so you have disconnected yourself from God mode to experience duality

Desiring nothing .wanting nothing .needing nothing .being complete and wholly content with the here and now ..with whatever God gives to you ?.

Like I said you are still creating duality between what you call "the image "and infinite consciousness. If there is only one substance in existence..namely consciousness..then there can't be stuff that outside or separate from it .the ego is not God. But God is the ego .as God is everything .so the ego has the power to awaken to its nature as God..as infinite power and intelligence. And here is where manifesting comes into place . Because everything you ever wanted exists within absolute infinity. You have to only enter God mode and bring it forth . Thoughts seed manifestations, but the only thing you can physically manifest with thoughts alone are of your own body. You can make yourself sweat, you can create new neural connections and trigger biochemical reactions by what you think. You cannot sit in a room, alone, in the dark, and manifest objects in the palm of your hand if that is what you mean. Nor can you, under those same conditions, cause change in the external world. But that's only because you are in finite limited hunan form at the moment. All it takes is changing your state of consciousness to become infinite and omnipotent. Then magic can happen.

@Nilsi OK.

Sorry I'm not playing this "dictionary" game .the ego is simply the sense of separate self. That Is well known in all spiritual circles. And the neo-advaita teaches that the ego is completely illusory. And that's simply false . I choose the words, then I type them out on my keyboard.Then I edit and hit post.It was all me.it certainly seems like I am doing all this.But is that really true?How did I choose this answer? I don’t know.Why do these words occur to me? I don’t know.How do I move my fingers on the keyboard to type this out? I don’t know that either.Somehow, someway all of it is just happened. And yet, the neo advaita nonsense teaches that this Self doesn't exist .This is the great misunderstanding: it’s not whether the self exists, but rather what is the nature of the real self? Clearly, there is something or someone here that is aware of what is happening, of words being thought and written.Call it awareness, consciousness, or knowing. And this is the distinction: The true you is the awareness that observes every thought, feeling, sensation, and experience. This awareness isn’t anything in and of itself: it has no color, sound, smell, taste, or feeling. It is formless and invisible. And yet it’s there. OK. I think it's time to tell you to go get wasted because you are talking about me and what I know and what I don't know based on what? Do you know me ?I don't even have to prove to you how much spiritual work I did because it's unimaginable amounts. And it's something you will never comprehend. I have fully deconstructed my entire sense of reality and all of my false beliefs until all I'm left with is pure Truth . So spare me your "I'm better than you, you don't know, but I know " silly little game because I'm not gonna engage in this BS .and don't reply me to this post because I'm not gonna waste my time responding to you once again because you don't care about truth or understanding. All you care about is being right and debating endlessly. The ego is consciousness. Since everything is consciousness. Full stop .nothing more needs to be added . Again I have to tell you to stop your arrogant ass tone (you don't know me ).so spare me again your judgement of my understanding. Yes I'm talking about the law of attraction. It works. What you send out is what you get back. Your frequency determines the reality you will experience. Your vibration of being activates the Law of Attraction in a specific way, making the things in your life appear a certain way, as a reflection of what you "send out ". Don't reply to this post (or do if you wish ).because I'm not gonna continue playing your stupid little game of trying to outsmart each others.

Neo-advaita is the branch of spirituality that focuses too much on the Buddhist concept of anatman or "no self ". Some modern teachers of this style of spirituality are people like Tony parsons and Jim Newman and @VeganAwake. Again ..it depends on how do you define the ego .If you define it as a unicorn then it doesn’t exist .however if you define it as the body-mind organism .then it does exist. Without an ego..you wouldn't even know who's shoes to put on in the morning. You Obviously you don't know me and how spiritualy developed I am. And I'm gonna prove this right now by not even engaging in this "I'm right ,you are wrong " childish debate that you are trying to push me towards. Again you are falling into neo advaita nonsense with these kind of questions .I think it's ridiculous to police ourselves to such a degree that we avoid any use of words like "we " and "me "..these words exist in all languages in the worlds because they are corresponding to something. You are creating a duality here .ego VS consciousness .the ego IS consciousness. Since there is only one substance out of which everything is made. I manifested online friends. A job offer .and good grades in my university course. it works like magic. You just have to believe in it that it's already done. You don't have to be desparate for the wish you had asked or doubt on it, just feel it that it's already yours and detach yourself by handing your wish to the Universe . That's how it works.

I like the analogy of the words on the screen. If by the words you mean individual egos .and by the screen you mean our true ultimate nature as pure consciousness itself .that can never die.was never born .doesn't come from anywhere and doesn't go anywhere. It's always in its eternal static absolute state which is not even a "state " but again, that's the limits of language. However, you still create a subtle duality with this analogy..that is ..of the words AND the screen .its like we have two things here .and nondual understanding says that there is only one thing in existence. Which is existence itself with no divisions . So we must at the ultimate analysis agree that the words are indistinguishable from the screen . And the words can awaken to their ultimate nature as just pure screen.because the screen is reality. Like what Robert Adams says "all appearance are like moving pictures on the eternal screen of consciousness " When it comes to manifesting things into existence..we first have to have some degree of awakening. To recognize that we are absolutely infinite. And everything that we ever wanted is already contained in infinity. But we have to tap into our infinite power and infinite intelligence to be able to manifest our dreams . And finally i will just leave this quote here by Robert Adams "

I'm not sure that consciousness has absolutely no limits at all when It comes to logical paradox like a square circle etc .it has to be infinite. But remember..some infinities are larger than others. For example if we take all the real positive numbers ..that's infinity .yet if we include the negative real numbers ..that's also infinity. But its a "larger " infinity. So consciousness can be infinite while at the same time have logical impossibilities like something that can't exist by it's definition because its definition is self-contradictory .like a square circle. I don't agree that we just have to surrender and let life flow .that should happen at the end of our life .we are young guys (me and you). I assume you are something in your late 20s or early 30s..we have some shit to do .don't you want to earn tons of money? Fuck hot girls? Travel the world ? Buy luxury items ? Smoke a bunch of weed and go to parties with cool people? We all have dreams and desires we aspire to .and it's our job and responsibility to make them happen in the flesh . You are falling into the neo-advaita trap.this is a very reductionist and simplistic view that its almost useless .It is not so black and white when it comes to the existence of the separate self or the ego . There is no simple answer. I would say, both yes and then no. We exist. Don't we? Right here in this forum there is someone who has asked this question, and another person giving an answer. You wouldn't say that the question and the answers are illusions, would you? We are all different beings.. we are individuals. And as individuals we have a “self” that defines our individuality, resulting in a feeling of separateness. So self is real and not an illusion. If I pinch you, you will feel the pinch, not I. What's it that makes us feel separate? What's it that gives us a feeling of self-existence and distinguishes us from others? When we think about this very deeply, we come to understand that we are just a consciousness of some kind. This consciousness presently resides in a body and identifies itself as the body. It believes it is the body and protects the body, protects the personality. I’ve been studying manifestation for a year now, and I’ve been able to manifest. I’m not an expert on it yet, but here are some stuff that seems to be working for me. The feeling, the vibration you are in, is everything it seems. When you visualize what you want, your feelings/vibration will be completely different than what you have now. It’s usually a bit of joy at first, but more neutral, calm and confident. I think this is the secret, to channel yourself to have this vibration constantly (living in the end result). That’s also the tricky part, because you have deny the 3D physical world constantly, and remove yourself from a feeling of lack or even desiring what you want, you just have to be in a state of “I have it already, this is great.” It’s almost feel like im brainwashing myself at times, by denying the 3D world, and living in imagination. Pretending I have it before I have it, and not breaking character. It’s almost psychotic haha. But, you have to really buy your own dream, you know? You have to really believe and have faith that it’s already yours, that you’re already it. When you question where it is, why isn’t it here, or whatever lack, you actually cancel the spell in its process. You just have to “let it go” and believe you already have it, and don’t question it, just be it. Because the world around you is made by you, there's a sense of intuition, or calmness with decision. Every prophet, every teacher (even me) is your subconscious playing itself out. Everything is your subconscious, and your intuition is your guidance. If you had all the money in the world without working for it, and everything you could ever desire, I bet you would just relax and do something fun all the time. There is no work, no “I have to get this, study this, work for that,” it’s just simply “flow.” Nothing else. Just enjoying your life. So we have to look at what are the obstacles that prevent us from achieving all our dreams ..most of them are mental/psychological..not physical.
