To know yourself as a human, the best thing imo, is simply to remove the barriers, everything that binds you and keeps you prisoner, and be absolutely free. Then the perfection of this concrete form manifests and develops in all it's power and beauty.

What you are as form is the color, the flavor of this manifestation of existence, the entire range of perfectly harmonized nuances that form this prism through which existence perceives itself. As essence, you are the flame that burns within, the portal to infinity from which you draw your energy, the total. This is what's interesting to me; there lies the real game: How far can you open? How transparent can your form be ?

For example, if Peter Ralston says that you are the screen on which reality occurs, and you adopt that framework and try to perceive from that angle, or if Buddha says that you have to achieve the absence of desire and attachment to reach nirvana, which is the ultimate goal of spirituality, I'm telling this as an example. I'm not saying that you should believe in those specific things, but in whatever someone has said Of course. But I know what a belief is. What belief could you possibly have about ultimate reality that isn't a mistake? I have a few. Like: Reality is probably cyclical...but perhaps it isn't. Can anything be known? You can only perceive what you are.

What others say means nothing because what you say means nothing either. I'm talking about openness to the absolute. It's something that lies outside the linear scope of the logical mind. The only thing the logical mind can do is adopt a pattern that allows it to easily get out of the way. This pattern is understanding that infinity is not comprehensible; you can't grasp it with the mind. If you do, you're creating an image. That's not what you're looking for. What you're looking for is true openness; it operates on a different frequency. The logical mind must be insigthful enough not to fall into its own traps.

It's extremely difficult to stop being an addict. It's not about quitting a substance or a behavior; it's about radical change. Very few people achieve that process. You have to be quite intelligent and understand the dynamics of your psyche, get into the source code, and completely reverse it. You have to have a stroke of genius to do that, and no one is going to do it for you.

Perhaps no one here realizes the obvious fact that to look within yourself, you must transcend the layer of the conceptual mind. Step number one: nothing means anything. Why? Because any meaning is an obstacle. The mind must be free of structure, absolutely diaphanous. If you haven't reached this point, you haven't even begun the real thing; you're stuck in a loop.

Do you believe in anyone? Do you have beliefs? How anyone could help you in this field? Anything that anyone says and you believe is a hindrance

No, it's just for fun, like meetings people who do the same work as me and talking about it. Nothing any guru says interests me at all; they're just words. The issue of spirituality is real: looking inside yourself and opening yourself up to the fullest. You're alone in this. Beyond a certain level, there's no one else. There's only you, the existence. Anything that anyone says means absolutely nothing.

@gengar It's good that you're serious and asking seriously. I write on this forum often because it's the only place I know where you can express your spiritual expansion, and I wish there were honest people with a true intention of opening up and going deeper. I'll tell you the answer: it's a message of reality to tell anyone who can understand the slightest thing: don't believe anyone, just believe in yourself

The difference between addiction and passion is that one is negative, and the other is positive. Addiction absorbs; passion gives.

You are both. You are the consciousness of reality and the inevitable creative impulse. The inexhaustible, infinite, expanding flow. You are not the screen on which a dream is taking place, for there is no dreamer. You are the living, dancing flow, deepening within itself. The inevitable, eternal expansion. If you look deeply within yourself, you will find a source, a nuclear reactor of infinite power, shining with the absolute light granted by its infinitude. Question nothing, define nothing. Consciousness, doer, observer, God, creation, they mean nothing. They are only barriers; forget them. Just look within, and what you are will manifest.

The conceptual mind is the result of energetic structures, not the other way around. You're a child. One day you feel fear, then you create a structure around that fear. One day you feel unaccepted, and you create another structure. If another day you see a cloud in the sky, you don't create a structure around that, you create it around the fact that your father rejects you, since millions of generations of tribal ancestors are screaming at you: you must be accepted, or you're dead. Then from these structures you create concepts. All the Tolle spirituality, sadhguru, etc., is absolutely false. They tell you that you are wrong, that your mood depends only on you. What if they tell you that tomorrow your entire family will be tortured and you will be thrown into a dungeon, and then a witch will cast a spell on you that will send you to hell for eons, right NOW, nothing bad is happening! Lobotomize yourself! Buy heroin and be happy! And people buy into those scams and then get frustrated triying to castrate themselves. Your state doesn't depends only on you, you are a hive entity interconnected with the totality, not an island.

Where is that evidence? Is there any scientific consensus on this issue? Or do you think scientists are stupid and plotting to hide this fact?

The idea that Trump, Elon Musk, Bannon, and all those others seem to have is that the green paradigm is suicidal if others in orange, blue, and red come after them, absolutely determined to take over the world. Many people think they're right, that focusing on equality and all that would be great if everyone did it, but if only you do it and the Chinese come behind with unstoppable force and vastly surpass you in industry, the Russians surpass you militarily, the Indians begin to wake up, perhaps we need to take a turn towards cruel efficiency for the very fact of being able to maintain the world's level. Are they wrong? It's possible, but not so sure.

I'd say that all that people are professional scammers. There are many people in vulnerable situations, and there are always vultures circling around injured animals. When it comes to difficult situations, what matters is how you react and how you deal with them. It can help you grow or it can drag you down. The key is to bring out the best in yourself and not evade of the reality.

Its not just a concept, its something real, genetically encoded over billions of years of evolution. The conceptual issue is only the tip of the iceberg. The energetic structures that build the psyche are absolutely real.

Maybe but I can be without any conceptualization and there are still barriers. The logical mind is not the only barrier, it's only the first one and more obvious, but then are many others. The structure of a human is quite complex, but it's an interesting game to get deep in it

Yes could be, some conceptualizations are keys to dissolve another solid conceptualizations

I think that you can be chained to the human, very involved in your life, and same time getting total mystic openess at will, it's a matter of being cunning, how to temporarily deactivate certain springs of the mind. You can place yourself in a position where life and death are indifferent to you at will, and then change to one where they matter to you.

All this about identification remains in the conceptual realm of the mind. Reality is simply real, not a matter of identification. The difference between a closed state and an open one is about energy barriers, not identification. The conceptual mind is used to structure perception, but has no relevance, is secondary character. That's why all this neti neti stuff seems a bit superficial. It's easy put the mind at zero, but the barriers still persist. You can perceive yourself as the living unlimited reality without a doubt, and say, "Oh, I'm enlightened." But there are still barriers.

Real mysticism is not an idea, is a fact. Its something that happens. I don't doubt that Ramana Maharaj was a true mystic, but when I listen to him, he seems limited, like Nisgardata Maharaj and some other Indians, but not all. They seem to have freed themselves from the shackles of humanity, but they haven't achieved true openness. True Indian mysticism, like the Bahavad Gita, is much more than that of I am not the body, nor the mind, etc. That is only the previous step, then you have to delve into what really is, into the movement of the cosmos and the absolute creative power, and I don't see any of that in him

All Asian mysticism has a strong component of detachment, which seems to make sense because attachment seems to keep you focused on your current circumstances and prevents you from opening your mind to the whole. That is, if you want complete openness, good and bad must be the same for you. But as you said, attachment and detachment, suffering or the absence of it, would also have to be the same. I believe that I can have strong attachment and desire and at the same time be able to mentally place ourself in a position of absolute equanimity. Perhaps a little bit of drugs would be helpful, and understanding how your mind works. What's interesting to me is the openness to the whole at certain moments, not living like a monk. That seems extremely boring to me. I could kill myself and I'd be done with all that suffering sooner. The real point is having everything, the human world and true mysticism.

Was an example, agree that he seems a fraud in many aspects, anyway no one have proved any power, maybe they could be real but for now there are no real proves.

It could be so under certain circumstances, although it could also be impossible. We've talked about this before. If someone like Sadhguru or whoever could perform something paranormal like levitation or telepathy, they could gather a group of scientists equipped with all kinds of technology and perform the necessary demonstrations, then this would become a scientific reality. But the fact is that these people with powers don't display them publicly

I would say that the mental path that led Leo to think this was possible is the same path that has led many mystics to think they could levitate if they tried hard. Let's see, the mystical opening undoubtedly shows you that you have no limits. Therefore, if this is so, it means that you are the reality, the totality. If this is so, it means that you have created this reality in which you live, but you are not aware of it. This implies that if you raise your consciousness and become aware of how you are creating this moment, you will be able to modify it. This is erroneous; it's a limited vision of the unlimited that, at a given moment, seems absolutely true, but isn't. The very fact of the absence of limits makes you infinitely limited. It's paradoxical, but it's obvious. Let's see, if nothing limits you, you unfold infinitely in infinite dimensions automatically and inevitably. You have no control, since control would be, precisely, a limit. You are infinite as an essence, as an absolutely free infinite being, but as a form, you are absolutely limited in infinite directions. Each energetic vibration of your reality is linked with the infinite dimensions of reality, forming a harmonious and synchronous whole. Levitating would break the synchronicity; transforming into an alien would also break it; it's absolutely impossible. It is possible if you respect the laws of infinite synchronicity. You can act on the form to a great extent, and each movement will have infinite butterfly effects. But you cannot displace infinity by breaking the synchronicity. It's impossible.
