I think that There are two levels of ego. The first is the comparative, conceptual, social ego, which tells us who we are in contrast to others, whether we are handsome, lazy, etc. The next level is the ego that separates the physical being from the external. This level is genetic, supported by the fear of disappearing as a physical being. transcending the first is difficult, transcending the second even more so. The temporary egoless state is the total absence of differentiation in which reality perceives itself as total.

Simplifying is a typical error of naive spirituality Eckart Tolle: you are creating your suffering. stop creating it! voila! magic! No more suffering!!!....clowns. The human psyche has emotional springs created by millions of years of evolution that are not overcome that easily. the compulsions of acceptance, reproduction, competition, body preservation, the need for connection/tribe/clan, are real mechanisms, energetic patterns that keep you prisoner. You think you have overcome them with a mental trick because you have been happy for two days after reaching a conclusion, but they are lying in wait to catch you with double force. The opening of the psyche to the absolute is not a game, a truism, an idea or something that all humans should do but don't do because they are stupid. It is a very complex energy readjustment process. simplifying is not understanding, the psyche is not simple

No, it's about real understanding or fake one

Well, seems that he didn't realize that because he was living in his own world, but that own world seemed a world of narcissism and idiocy, not a mystical enlightened one. He was a brilliant philosopher, but ultimately a clown

He seemed a complete idiot, drug addict and bit depressive

I would say that love is a natural consequence of having dissolved the barriers of the ego, but not the end in itself. the true goal is openness, an unobstructed, unlimited mind. This open mind is reality and perceives itself as such, its substance is the substance of reality, creative force, intelligence, abundance. You can call this love, but love seems to imply attachment.

Agree, real freedom is get rid of desire, stop focusing in what do you want of life and perceive what life wants of you. Then you can start flow and be open to what life is without resistance, and seems that synchronicities start to happen.

Reality is permanent, what is impermanent is the form. If you are one with the substance, you are permanent

Well said, so simple and so difficult. the movement that occurs is relative. Relative means not real absolutely, but real in relation to a reference. From a broader vision, so broad that it has no limits, there are no references, and therefore there is no movement. Without movement absolute reality manifests itself. The movement is the door that closes, since it only allows us to see the movement, or form, since both are equivalent, relative. In a moment you acquire the ability to change perspective at will, since you can open your mind by erasing its limits. In a mind without limits there are no references, therefore the absolute manifests itself

more accurate imo is saying that you aren't going to experience nothing except your experience, because you are this experience. If you mean you as absolute, the absolute doesn't experience, is total. The totality doesn't have relative experiences, only the relative has relative experiences, and the relative is real only relatively.

Tell people to be free and original and then set up a sect where everyone has to wear a uniform except you.

Reincarnation intuitively seems very possible, I feel that life is a path to learn, but that's true? Maybe all mystics had this kind of feeling and they accepted that reincarnation is a logical possibility. In other hand many said that they remember past lifes, but is that true? Maybe. I think it's a possibility quite possible

For me enlightenment is being open to the absolute, that's a reality, and it doesn't depends exactly of your level of consciousness. It is rather the rupture of a pattern of perception, the pattern involves perceiving as a "happening", as a chain of events. You can have a very high level of consciousness of what your experience is, but you cannot get out of the experience. the absolute is not experience, this is very difficult to see but it is obvious. What is an experience? something that happens, that goes from point A to B. The absolute is dimensionless, therefore it does not occur, it does not move, it is immutable. Imagine that your experience is always exactly the same, would it be an experience? would it be something? For reality to appear as something must change and any change is relative. Openness to the absolute is not perceiving the absolute because perceiving requires change, you cannot perceive nothingness, or deep sleep, or death, which are simply absence of change, you can be open to it, because you really are that. Everything become nothing, infinity and zero are the same in the sense of absence of "happening", and absolute potential. In infinity nothing happens because it encompass any possibile happening, it already happened infinite times, then, it's the same than no happening. There is not movement, any movement is just apparent, relative to a reference point, but not real, then it's homogeneous and immutable, same than the nothingness. Nothingness is everything, everything is nothingness, and this is the absolute, that is, you.

How could be you without form? You mean being the absolute, then never happen, just existing. But then there wouldn't time, just absolute existence. For ever? There is not for ever because there is not time. It's impossible to think in it or understanding it. If now there is a límited form, the only possible deduction is that always would be a limited form, because if it stops being, then you will be the absolute for ever, and it's not the case because you are a limited form. Can't be for ever eternity after next month, then it's not eternity, has a beginning, then has an end

Yes but how to go deep enough to understand what is that process that is happening and where it leads, what are the mechanics of the cosmos. There is possible to know such things, or are just fantasies? Reincarnation, etc. Some says that they remember past lifes and they know exactly why this life is happening and where this leads. Maybe it's true, maybe no. But could be true

Do you mean after death? Is it possible to know such thing? I'm open to the possibility that it's impossible to know anything

Spiritual work is to dissolve fear, the barrier and open ourselves without limits, so that our spirit stops being contracted and expands. You have to look reality in the face, it is as if you were facing an abyss and you are afraid. real fear, terror. You want to be clinging to your mother's breast and never let go of it. No, you are floating in the void, without references, you must open yourself to that without any reservation. It's so scary that you see that you have to go there, that's the way. Fear is manifested as mental flow, mental flow defines us, creates a capsule that traps us, then we live inside of that capsule of meaning and definition. Meaning and definition are illusion, reality is open, and in openenss everything expands until it dissapear, only the substance remains. Absence of fear is absence of limits, and this is the first step to realize what we are. I'm not saying I totally open and I'm one with the absolute as Buddha btw, just that I know how to open the mind to that direction, it's something that anyone who's interested in spirituality should do

There is one point that makes the difference in spiritual work, and that is to open yourself. this is the key. In you is reality, the source of existence. It is not love, bliss, or whatever, it is you, so, if you fit in with yourself, the dissonance of anxiety that accompanies you every second disappears. There is only one path, the one that leads to yourself, and there is only one way to find yourself, opening the barriers that close you. It's like a game, you have to be serious to play it, if not you don't do anything

That sounds a real trip . I never considered that kind of exploration, the only psychedelic that I do lately is DMT to open the mind and sometimes weed to contemplate the life, and before 5meo to break my disgusting ego. But that what you mentioned seems deep. I only did trips to free myself, never to really "trip" , but reading you I felt that maybe there is a world to explore, a lot of depth to see. Sound fascinating

That about everything is love....well, could bullshit in my opinion in most of cases. Let's see, you can reach an opening of yourself that makes being you a pleasure, constantly feeling the flow of existence and seeing that you are floating in the living infinity that vibrates around you and you are that. to have a constant feeling of openness, life, bliss. But of course, if they tell you that you have two cancers and you're also going to go blind, and you're also going to go to a prison in the Congo, then maybe all that love stuff doesn't seem so clear anymore. But I guess that it depends of your level of openess to the absolute. The absolute is absolute joy, absolute creative power, absolute life. If you are totally open to it, anything could be ok We are lost in the abyss, people doesn't realize, you realize it, that why you are searching. We can open ourself , feel the totality and remove the circumstancial, be in the absolute. There is the only possible choice, anything else is madness . Life is going to test us, this is not kindergarten , nothing is guaranteed

@Evelyna @Evelyna means is that there is narcissism in you, or that whats I understand reading. Narcissism is a barrier that blocks our path. If you want to open yourself to the unlimited, narcissism must be left out. We all have narcissism, and the most narcissistic thing is not seeing your own narcissism. You have to accept it and laugh at it, then it stops sticking to you like a parasite. With narcissism you can't open the door, you have to humble yourself to open it.

Solipsism says that the people you talk to are not real, they do not have their own existence, they are just flat mental images, like drawings you make on paper. So, you make some drawings on a piece of paper and then spend 30 thousand hours telling them that they are not real, that they are drawings. good! So, maybe, in addition to being solipsistic, you are, let's say... crazy? possible! Imagine Tom Hanks on the desert island, after making a doll out of a coconut, he spends the next 35 years telling the coconut that it's not real. well, it looks like fun But one step more: tom is trying to convince the coconut that he, the imaginary coconut, is inventing Tom Hanks. Well, seems quite serious, medication is needed

Just open the fucking door in yourself. Are you honest enough? Generous enough? Smart enough? I think you could be. Any other way is going to be madness for you. You have to do it , you will see , but it's not easy, you have to put everything.

Why not? The experience is happening. Where is the experience happening? In the existence. If the experience stops, the existence stops? No. The existence can't stop because it is not happening. But the experience can stop because it's happening. Classic example: deep sleep, or death, or anesthesia. Imagine that right now the experience becomes a black without anything else. Then there is no time. Is not existence? It's exactly the same existence than in the normal experience, the totality, the absolute. If you understand this, you are enlightened, but it's not easy, it's not a conceptual understanding, you have to open a door that is closed

What I said is that there is existence beyond the experience, the experience is a manifestation of the absolute, the absolute is not an experience. You can define the experience, is the movement that happens, the absolute is not happening. Imagine that there is no change, no movement, would be experience? No. but would be existence? Yes.
