Their line of thinking implies that the self is a kind of conceptual error and is a real energetic structure. It's as real as something physical, just on another plane of existence. For nondualists, enlightenment is realizing that they are not the self that appears, but the complete experience—"this" as they say. In my opinion, this is confusing and irrelevant. It's the same to think you are the separate self or the complete experience; the important thing is the openness to what you are, what your nature, your substance, is. What they talk about is a change of mental schema, but that's still within the mind. Openness is the actual breaking of boundaries, transcending experience and being the ultimate unlimited nature. It doesn't matter if you are the separate self or everything, or whatever, if you can't break through the barrier of experience. The experience must appear as a transparent hologram, irrelevant, simply an experience. Just behind it, beneath the surface, is the whole. The whole requires total surrender, totally letting go of the mind and totally opening the heart. This means totally eliminating fear for a moment. Surrender to reality, to the total absence of foundation, knowledge, understanding, or grounding. There are energy chains that prevent you from doing this; you must dissolve them. Listening to non-dualists, it becomes clear that they cannot escape their prison because they do not perceive it. They truly think they are free, and are trapped in the experience.

They could be absolutely and genuinely sure of what they say and absolutely wrong.

Newman says this: Within this apparent paradox arises an experience. That experience is, that this appearance is happening to 'me'. That experience is not paradoxical; it feels very real. There's no space, no room, no possibility for the reality, that 'this' isn't happening to ‚me’. That experience of duality is dissatisfying. It's uncomfortable. Out of that experience arises the need to bring about a wholeness, to cover up the feeling that what is, isn't complete, to make the feeling that it's not okay - okay. Out of that arises the need for good and bad and right and wrong. So this appearance then turns into ‚my life‘, and my life is the need to make 'this' better, 'this' good, to find out or to solve the problem of why I don't feel like it's okay, why I feel like something's wrong, why I feel like I need to seek, to find something else. Then, according to him, to cover the sensation of not complete of this experience, arises the need for good and bad. Well, id say that it arises after having the experience of being impaled and your children sold as slaves, eaten millions of times by crocodiles, abused, tortured, extincted, rejected, mutilated, enjailed, submitted. From you were alone in the jungle surrounded by monsters that wanted to kill you and killed you and your entire family billions of times. Then you created an energetic structure that we call fear, and others structures that we call desire, because without them you couldn't exist. And at a certain point, language and the self appeared, drawing on millions of years of war. This self began its own wars, which were far more savage than those of the jungle, millions and millions of times over. War, desire, death, birth. And this is a concept? More solid than the most solid steel box. A riddle within a riddle within a riddle. An extreme labyrinth, the ultimate game, when the rat that emerged from the hole can align its entire energy system, created over the eons, and open itself to its absolute nature.

There could exist someone whose energetic structure is such that they are completely open to the absolute being, and for them it would be the same to have lung cancer as to be on a paradise beach. Form is just form; essence is everything to him. Pain and pleasure are the same, transparent holograms through which the absolute shines through with total clarity. It is total now, always, beyond time and any human preference. But given the energetic structure that is created by being human, it is extremely difficult to find this, maybe impossible

I just finished reading a little bit of Jim Newman, which I'd never heard of before, and in two minutes, in my very humble opinion, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's lost in the idea of no self and all that. The self is real, it's genetically encoded over millions of years of evolution, it's an energetic structure as solid as a steel box. Can be broken, but more difficult that a steel box. there is a seeker, and there is an end to the search. All that "this is all there is, there is nothing else, and it is complete." It's simply a failure to understand how reality hides itself from itself with the creation of the self. The self is a real process, and repeating that there is no self won't stop it. There is no depth in Newman's message; it's flat, empty, dead.

It's different to hate another race than thinking that it's inferior, That's what I meant. Whites were superior just because they were stronger. If they were weaker, they would be inferior. That's how it works. If the Japanese had crushed the Americans and invaded the US and forced their president to humiliate himself, and then the US had been Japan's bitch, the Japanese would not have put round eyes on their manga.

In old times you either enslaved or were enslaved. Blond whites used to be slaves of the Romans. So, looking Norwegian wasn't something people desired. You didn't want to have Gallic or Germanic ancestors; you preferred to have Persian ancestors.

Don't be so angry. Do you know that black women use a rather harmful product to lighten their skin? Do you know that black women in Latin America consider it a success to have a white partner and so when they have children they "improve the race"? Do you know that Asian women modify their features with surgery to look more Caucasian? Have you seen that Japanese cartoons make characters with round eyes? Do you understand that for a Filipino woman it is a success to have a white partner, but for a Filipino man that is almost impossible unless he is a millionaire? I am sorry if reality is not as it should be according to you. I'm not saying that whites are superior, just that the collective imagination they are given the circumstances. We'll see how that changes when the Chinese truly dominate the world.

There is a preference for Caucasians as a race because it's the race that has dominated the world and set the cultural, economic, and political pace. This is the case now; it's not absolute; it's something that has undeniably occurred since the Baroque era. Humans are genetically programmed to bow to the leader, and the leader so far has been the white race, which is why people prefer the white race.

@Someone here 😘

The substance of the reality is limitlessness, or better than substance, the nature of reality, what you última are. For that reason, it exists in a limited form. Saying "apparently" limited is like saying you've "apparently" broken your leg. There's no difference with really broken. The point is, you'd rather not break your leg. You can realize your total nature every day; that doesn't mean you'd rather not go to a Russian prison for 25 years. But maybe you get a level of openess where for you it's the same anything, you are absolutely out of the form, only in the substance. Sure that this is possible, but first a bit, little by little. In my case, i prefer balancing both. I wouldn't like being a mystic absolutely out of the form, the form is beautiful, but being able to break the limits sometimes is absolutely useful, removes all the sadness, makes your life open

Without a sense of self, you wouldn't care whether you lived or died, and those teachers wouldn't care whether they taught or not. What does it matter whether you helped people? What's the difference between humanity disappearing in an endless war or everyone being enlightened and happy? From an infinite perspective, it's exactly the same. Only the self sees the difference.

Try to think by yourself. The frogs have their own experience, same than you. You could call them magic or physical, the fact is that there are frogs, and the fact is that in the unlimited possibilities of the unlimited reality, one of them is a frog, as you can see (if you see a frog)

Maybe your religion could be named : "lobotomized". Or "magical lobotomy"

Where is the difference between material or "magic"? maybe you should start a religion called "magic" Yes oh master.

In Roman times, being a white Nordic person was considered inferior. The Arab ethnic group was considered far superior to the Aryans.

I don't think so. If all of this happens, it means you're having a mystical experience, in which you realize something beyond the human, the divinity of reality etc. For complete openness, that has to be overcome; it has to seem normal to you; reality must be mystical to you by default. Even so, there's a barrier. The moment that barrier is broken, there is freedom and recognition of your true nature. Simple, clear, diaphanous, total.

its impossible to having no sense of self, or at least I don't want that. It's not necessary to reach that point; rather, you need to learn to have no sense of self for a while, at will. Then, the sense of self returns, and it's quite solid. A solid self is essential, as challenges will constantly arise.

Yes, you have to reach total openness, where you are the limitless. At that point, there's no question of whether there's more, since that's everything

No, you are the living infinity. You just have to unlock the closed compartments of your psyche so that it flows more and more freely. Ultimately, you have no limits, so break them to the fullest extent possible. That's the game here.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle prevents anything from having zero motion and zero energy. Reality is never static. In an absolute void there is zero field energy, which is measurable. On a metaphysical level, we could say that it is impossible for anything to be absolutely static because zero momentum does not exist. It would be a moment between two motions, and it would be nonexistent. You can expand a piece of space infinitely, and you will never find a static field. This means that the energy of 1 cubic cm of empty space is infinite; it is an unavoidable mathematical result. Since this is not possible in physics, a "normalization" is made and the zero-point energy is considered to be the observable one. Then the problem of the cosmological constant arises, etc. The reality is that nothing is ever static. Reality is always in motion. So, what is a "thing"? Well, simply that vibratory movement organized in synchronous patterns until it reaches you, asking questions and threatening @Yimpa with your 🍌

That's different. You're asking about the concrete structure of current reality, its details. I don't know how it works, but there are incontestable realities: it's not limited, it's not originated, any movement or change of state is relative to another movement or mirror state. Absolute movement is impossible; it needs a reference point. From there, use the power of your mind to try to understand exactly how everything works. Perhaps it's possible to do so, starting from the right foundations. But what it is is obvious: it's the manifestation of the total potential.

Exactly, The answers are simple, direct, and inevitable. Potential that expresses itself, since it cannot not do so, because it's potential and nothing prevents it's expression. As we can see right now. What's more difficult, and the real work, isn't the mind, it's the energetic structure, opening it to the totality. That's all. Everyone should be able to do that. Humanity would have taken a complete step, but it seems the barriers are too solid, and that's not going to happen for now. Not all of humanity, but practically no one.

Just because it's what is happening among infinite possibilities. All of them are the totality manifesting itself, it's absolutely inevitable, just because there are not limits. It's total and absolutely obvious. Can't be otherwise. If there are no limits, the potential is total; you are that in essence. If you erase everything from your mind, down to the last barrier, the totality manifests and you see it completely clearly. It's not a story of falling on your knees, praying in tears; it's the opening to your total nature, which is simply limitlessness; it's nothing more. But in doing so, one thing becomes obvious: limitlessness is everything, and that's you. And from that totality that you are now, something is emerging that is truly irrelevant. It wouldn't matter if you were a snot stuck to a wall for a thousand years. What is real is the essence. You've always been that. It shines through everything. Form is nothing, substance is everything. Then a toothache starts and form takes center stage, and you lose yourself in it, as is inevitable.

Because there are not limits. Where is the doubt or the mystery? Can't be more obvious Why not? Is there any reason? Just the inevitable manifestation of the total potential
