@electroBeam Ofcourse it's not possible to contemplate without assumptions or preconceived notions. If you start from scratch you will end with scratch. You have to assume that you know something..there has to be a given of some kind.. And you don't know the other side and try to make the ends meet. It's always a deception.. Because the truth is all questions are based on false assumptions. Or these assumptions are not inherent in reality. So when you contemplate a question keep in mind that it's always going to be a partial answer.. And will always be based on unquestioned assumptions. If you don't assume anything you can't even formulate a question. Lol. So you either accept non-answer to a no questions..or you accept a partial answer that you know is not the whole story.

To add something.. Contemplating death will automatically lead you to discover your true identity... Death is simply the end of a form.. If you are watching a movie.. The movie dies when it ends.. This day will die when it ends.. The death of this body is simply the end of this body.. If you reincarnate in another body.. The death of that body is the end of that body.... And any form will end.. By it's very nature as a form it's limited.. It has a beginning and end... So the only thing that can't end and therefore can't die is the formless.. It won't end because it didn't begin. And that's who you are.

You will only know when you die. Period.

Fears. What are you afraid of? I'm gonna expose and explore some of your and my deepest fears.. Full on exposure.. Full nude.. No cosmetics.. Don't read if there you have emotional sensitivity or you get easily traumatized... Lol Are you afraid from the idea of falling forever.. An endless free fall? Or maybe you are afraid from the idea of being stuck inside a room with no doors.. Just four walls.. You stuck between four walls.. For eternity? What about the idea of these four walls starting to get tighter and tighter untill they crush your body into pieces? But then you will die.. That might be a refuge.. How about the four walls getting so tight just enough to make you almost crushed.. But not fully yet.. Such that you can't move and will be stuck like that... Forever? How about being conscious inside darkness forever? Losing your sight? Are you afraid of going blind? Are you afraid of the idea of hell.. Being stuck inside a lava chamber burning and suffering unimaginable amounts of pain forever? You are afraid of pain basically.. Right? All kinds of pain.. How about all kinds of pain possible all at once for endless time.. Are you afraid of that? As a male..you sure have some castration anxiety no? As a female you are afraid of breast cancer right? You are afraid of infertility right? As a child you are afraid of losing your parents in a car accident no? As a grown up..you are afraid to die alone or to spend your last years with the company of no one? Are you afraid of regret? Of failure ? Of realizing at your death bed that you did it all wrong? That you fucked up big time? And that there is no going back? What else are you afraid of? Infinite more things.. Right? You scared little flimsy being. No wonder you look so lost.

Where did this moment go?

Well if I'm trolling then your whole thread you've been trolling as well because I just said exactly what you've been saying over and over. You are talking to a concept and imagination right now trying to tell him that he is a concept and imagination.. You are Infinitely hilarious bro. No solipsist actually takes his philosophy seriously.. If you literally believe you are the only conscience.. It must follow that you stop talking to everyone because you are fully aware that we are literally just a bunch of dream characters or NPC zombies. The very fact that you are talking to others on this forum disproves your entire subject. Take care.

@Consilience everything he said in the OP is true. Go ahead and prove it wrong. Who's the "you "that seeks to become enlightened? Identify it and be as precise as possible!!,. What does this signify? It signifies that oneness is already the case. Because there was never and will never be someone separated from oneness that can or should seek unity and liberation. Unity is already ever-presently the case. That doesn't mean you shouldn't meditate or pursue whatever goal you want to pursue.. It just means it doesn't fucking matter and you are not choosing it anyways. ?

Yep. Totally agree. ❤️ What you teach btw is the pinnacle.. One can't argue with this.. There are some helpless attempts here and there to shut you down or to naysay you but really you're teaching a high level of understanding. Only someone who's had enough of chasing their fucking tail will get you.

I can't go play GTA. GTA is a concept and imagination. It's not around me right now therefore it doesn't exist anywhere. So I can't buy one or install one. Because that's also concepts and imagination. You are getting lost in concepts and imagination bro.. Talk direct experience please ?

"Everything is imagination " is an absolute statement....there are no absolute statements in reality. Meaning there is no one statement that is absolutely correct. There is always a kernel of truth mixed with a hint of bullshit in any statement. If everything is imagination.. Then the notion of imagination will collapse because there is nothing to contrast it with. Which ends up meaning everything is scvfghyc. To say that you are imagining others is true in a sense and false in a sense. To say it's absolutely true or absolutely false you begin to contradict yourself and fall into endless dilemmas which can't be resolved under a one way of looking at reality.

How is science different from consciousness work or seeking truth directly?

@VeganAwake Real story please no laughing ✋ I passed through a cat this morning.. Cat was so chill.. It looked like a wise cat.. I asked "her".. : what is enlightenment really? What is this all about? Everyone disagree and argue with each other and they all seem equally right and equally false from different perspectives... its crazy.. Where is the truth? Where is the truth? The cat said : meow.

@Keyhole interesting . Thanks. Although I'm not really ready to face my death. The smell of death freaks every cell in my body. It's my biggest fear. And it's ultimately what made me interested in seeking existential understanding. However I'm no where near overcoming my fear of death. Near death experiences are usually linked with mystical visions and insights. To be fair I'm too scared to even go there.

-Without using psychedelics. ?Can't obtain them. (if anyone can help me out with obtaining them please PM me). -I know every experience is a mystical experience Bla bla. -via meditation alone..i was able to detach from conceptual reality and was able to experience my true essence as raw as possible. But couldn't achieve altered states of consciousness. Did some research.. Found some methods like sleep deprivation (it makes you hallucinate or start dreaming while awake lol). Sensory deprivation like sitting in a dark room for days not seeing any light. Etc Any tips or techniques to achieve altered states of consciousness (also Paranormal phenomenon such as out of body Astral projection etc).. Please share. Thanks.

There is a meta insight that you don't want to get... Listen up cuz I'm peacing out after this post lol.... If you don't experience something.. That doesn't tell you whether it exists or not... It just means.... you.. are.. Not.. Experiencing. . It. I'm not saying it does exist. I don't fucking know lol. But you also don't know. But the difference is you are making an unjustified jump and saying "because I'm not experiencing it.. It doesn't exist" . You don't know that. If you want to stick with experience just say that's what exists in my experience and that's what doesn't exist in my experience. Don't make it general (that's what exists and that's what doesn't exist) because you don't know that.

@r0ckyreed seriously think about this... Why does it necessarily mean if you don't have access to my perceptual bubble... That I'm not a real person? Where is the logical necessity? . Just because you don't perceive something...does that mean it doesn't exist? Why? How do you assume that? Who told you that's how reality works? When you don't experience something that simply means you don't freaking experience it. Period. Nothing more. Now you make a weird jump and conclude that "if I'm not experiencing it doesn't exist." That's indeed what you are imagining. There is a meta insight here.. If it's not in your experience... That only means it's simply not in your experience. Full stop. It doesn't mean it does or doesn't exist. Don't jump to conclusions. Both you have no experience of. The best thing is to say I don't freaking know because you don't and no one does. But I can't blame you.. It sure feels good to talk to "others" about how are you the only one here ?

No I'm not imagining that the moon remains in its place everytime I double check it. It's direct experience. So the consistency of this realm world is not in my mind. It's in the world. Anyways this conversation is stupid and there is no point getting along because any argument could be easily flushed with "you are imagining this". So I know it's pointless to argue with a solipsist because I was a solipsist at some point . And funny because you believe everyone on this forum are not real yet you are talking to them lol. ?

The criteria is "consistency". A dream or not.. Real =consistency. Everytime you look away from the moon and look back.... You find it exactly in its place.. Okay You can repeat it elephantillion times..still in its place (relatively). Same for any other object. now if all the sudden things start appearing and disappearing for no reason that would be less objective or less real. Ofcourse that's just my criteria. You can object and say you can have consistent dreams as well. whatever.

@Forestluv I do feel a need to apologize. I was kinda mean or cold with you. I learn from you a lot and I totally appreciate your trying to expand my view. However I do acknowledge that all perspectives are partial. And if you go back thats what I said in my first reply here. So it was because you seemed to be disagreeing with me or saying that my view is limited.. While I myself acknowledge that. So it was kinda confusing to me.

No. What kind of nonsense is this? I just showed you how nonsensical your view is. Go pass the highway without turning right or left... If you don't see the cars that mean they are imaginary right? .... Untill you do this you are just mentally masturbating. Go prove your theory. If the car is about to hit you.. Just look away.. When you don't see it it's not real anymore and you will be safe... Go ahead and do it!

@r0ckyreed alright then.. Go pass the highway without turning right or left.. Remember When you don't see the cars.. They are just imagination ?

Yes how exactly do I induce this state? I can't just fake it.. It won't work.. Is there a method or something that I can do to induce it?
