In my opinion, most of the spirituality is toxic. They tell you how the things are, so you create patterns in your mind, identifications and limits from what you have read or heard. The only thing they can tell you in spirituality is: empty your mind, open your heart. everything else is stories. If you fill your mind, you close your heart. The heart of the infinity is your heart, and there is the reality. The mind must be empty, absolutely. Totally clean, then you can see through the surface and open yourself.

Dream for me points to categorize it like not totally real. Many mystics used it so who knows. For me, I don't see anything else more real, what I see is that the meaning is a dream of the ego, but the thing itself is real

@Keryo Koffa what I mean is that the word dream means that there is something called god, that is real, that is doing something, that is imagining something, and that thing is a dream of god. First, is that the case? Are we sure? Sound logical, subject, action, object, but maybe infinity works in another way Second, if it were the case, you could call it creation too. Why dream? Because it has not substance? False. Everything have the substance of the absolute, then it's the absolute, is real.

The word dream makes no sense. For something to be a dream there has to be something else that is not a dream and that is imagining it. if there is only that category of existence, then you can't call it dream

@Keryo Koffa look at a bird for a few minutes. feel its reality, its divinity. Let its substance penetrate you, observe it in depth, perceive its life, become one with its life, enter its essence, perceive its glory, understand its sensation of being a bird, feel it. Now imagine a bird in your mind, or dream about a bird while you sleep. It's not alive, it's not the same, it's not real Anyone who says that reality is a dream is because his perception is egoic, schematic, superficial. If you can perceive in depth, you understand what reality is.

The only thing that matters to me about all this is that I would rather have my leg cut off in a dream than when I wake up. What does the classification of reality matter? The only important thing is the consequences for me. awakening, or enlightenment or whatever you want to call it is not knowing that kind of thing but knowing what reality is in essence. In essence everything is the same, therefore yes, you are right, essentially a dream or wakefulness are made of the same substance, but as far as you are concerned, are different. The thing is being open to that substance.

In my case that's impossible. I like desire and search. I think it is enough to erase the identification. Desires can be forgotten for a few hours while you meditate or contemplate, but identification cannot be erased for even a second. It is a software that is running continuously and is unstoppable, even on high doses of psychedelics. The key in my opinion is to break the identification

That knowledge is nothing, it is just a memory. The goal is to achieve that kind of openness normally in your life through meditation. Let's say openings with 5meo soften the psyche and make possible what would otherwise take years of practice. I have achieved equal or even deeper openings with 2 puffs of weed and meditation, but it has been because having done them before with 5meo. As you have said before, the maximum realization is when the infinite void that you are opens, and opens its let's say heart and you realize that the essence of reality is love without limit, this love expands to be something more, the total brilliance of existence, what you are, your home. If you achieve this opening, the effect of perceiving this , let's say glory in everything lasts one or two days, everything is beauty and wonder, what seemed negative to you before is also the total brightness, but after a few days this becomes cloudy until it disappears and you return to a closed state. always better than before but blocked. Little by little you see what closes, what mental patterns, and you also flow in a more coordinated way with reality. This is the process that I believe leads to what they call enlightenment, the permanent opening to the essence of reality.

that's the thing. reality exists and moves, therefore, the ego is reality and its movement is the movement of reality, there is no problem with it, unless we say a closed ego, which creates an identity in which perception bounces, so to speak, it makes you only perceive your own reflection. For example, "I am God creating reality" is an ego identity and closes, just like any identity. What must disappear is not the ego, but rather making the ego transparent, without identity, to be able to perceive in an unlimited way. This does not mean passivity, it means open perception, freedom of mind and absence of limits, which translates into absence of self-inflicted suffering. The difference is subtle but fundamental for the objective we have or at least I have: open, transparent, distortion-free perception. experience clean of contraction/suffering

For me being altruistic is ego, You do certain things because you think they are better for people than other things, and you are projecting your actions into the future. Your circle of identity is not just you but it is all of humanity, or the planet, or whatever. Not having an ego would be being absolutely indifferent, being in the total present, in total openness to reality. Reality doesn't care if children suffer or if a galaxy collapses in on itself. everything is reality, nothing is better than anything else, just cycles of creation and destruction due the movement of the infinity. But in another hand, this is difficult to affirm since the cosmos exist and evolve, then the reality seems to have a will, the will of being and grow in complexity. Seems that for reality it's better to exist than no exist. If there is an ego, it's because reality "wants" it. It's difficult to think in those matters because it's easy to anthropomorphize everything.

Let's say that everything is images created by the mind, but some are based on something real and others invented based on the real perception of the past. If you had been locked up alone in a room your whole life, could you dream about people? Furthermore, what is real has permanent consequences, what is dreamlike does not. Remember when Leo believed he could cure diseases by accessing god mode since they were imaginary, and it was not possible If you do them enough, you will see that all they do is relax barriers and distort perception, changing the chemistry of the brain, but no matter how many psychedelics you take, you will not develop telekinesis.

Those are two levels of ego imo. one is an altruistic ego and the other a greedy ego, but in the absence of ego, the suffering of the world is indifferent, in fact, it does not even exist for you. Without ego there is only the direct present. imo it is impossible to eliminate the ego if you are human, except for short periods, with meditation, psychedelics. What is possible is to understand the ego and reconfigure it to the point of enlightenment, which is not the absence of ego but rather an ego that knows deeply that its identity is fiction and can turn off itself at will.

It depends on the depth of your perception. With a superficial, egoic perception, based on ideas, you will see everything schematized and flat. If your perception is open, free of ego, you will see everything in depth, you will perceive its substance. You will perceive that everything is in you, but not in you as a human but in you as reality, and you will perceive what are you in essence as reality and you will perceive that same essence in all things. What appears in a dream is also made of that same essence, the same as a thought, but its source is the human avatar, which in turn has reality as its source. What appears while awake does not have the human avatar as its source, in the sense that the human avatar cannot modify it with his will, while what appears in a dream can. They are different levels of reality, equally real but in a different dimension. Then, I think that everything that appears are other perspectives of you as reality, detached of you as human. But anyway, it's difficult to be sure of anything

Sure, I don't want to be a fanatical CEO, but the reality is that this CEO is an evolutionary engine. Humans are unbalanced beings by nature, a shark is a completely balanced being, it swims, it is perfect in its perfect present, it eats, it is not sad or happy, it does not modify its behavior in the slightest in 300 million years and that's it. humans, on the other hand...in a paleolithic environment, let's say, one wants to fuck his cousin's wife, so he murders him, but the other's brothers take revenge by torturing him, and then they invent a religion in which they worship a bloody god and they burn some virgins alive in their honor while they dance a dance to make it rain. Birds or crocodiles don't do any of that. Humans, pushed by their natural imbalance, in 30 thousand years have gone from hunting with sticks and stones to sending ships to Mars. I believe that the only freedom for humans as a species is to fulfill their evolutionary destiny, which I don't know what it will be, I suppose to dominate matter, genetics, life, space and time. Life seeks the most efficient path to evolve, and in our case that path is the CEO obsessed with having a yacht with two helicopters. happiness? There will be happiness when the mission is accomplished, or extinction, or whatever. It does, since humans are maladaptive beings by nature. And we also have memory and foresight for the future. We do not like our children to have leprosy and their skin and limbs to rot, or to grow old and die, or to be hungry. All of that is right behind us, waiting for us to relax in our rat race. In a Western country, if your 3-year-old child has cancer, they treat him, a few kilometers down, they don't. It is an important, essential difference. It's a difference to kill for, as it always has been. You are either up, or down. The only way to equalize is technology. and technology requires more evolution. reach a point of infinite energy, hyper advanced technology capable of modeling genetics, matter and even the mind. Looking at the pace of progress, it seems like something not too far away. and all this is nothing more than ego. Without ego, you don't care if your children have leprosy, nothing matters to you. " matters" is an ego idea. Without ego there is no movement, there is stagnation. I personally maybe prefer it, you live, in the end you die and that's it, but it seems that reality prefers something else.

It is quite obvious that my field of consciousness is limited. I'm looking at a phone and thinking about solipsism. This is infinite and eternal reality? obviously not, it's just a small part of it. Another thing is that this particle of consciousness contains the totality, since any part of the infinite is the total infinite, but it contains it as a potential, as an absolute essence. here and now the absolute total, but the field of consciousness is limited. then, there are other fields of consciousness, which are also the total absolute, but have another part of the form.

If the reality never was my cousin talking to me, it would be limited to being everything except my cousin talking to me, so it would be finite, since my cousin talking to me is a potential possibility.

It is easy to prove that it is false. Today I spoke with my cousin. In the infinity of unlimited existence, how many chances are there that it will never, in all of infinity, happen that reality is my cousin speaking to me today? 0%?

The perception of the ego, through ideas, is completely superficial. It does not penetrate even a millimeter into reality, it only defines it in order to be able to handle it. The depth and complexity of reality is unimaginable, we just can intuit It atonished. What is completely perceptible is its essence, because it is our essence, what we are. Outside of any identity is the total brilliance, the absolute glory. This makes the wonder of form obvious. In every form there is total glory, complete reality, even our most negative and miserable feeling, it is the total brilliance of existence. It is difficult to see the glory in evil, violence, hatred, sadness, but they are necessary forces for the greatest glory of creation, same than gravity, or anything else.

It is inevitable due to how life is configured, which seeks the most efficient pattern through the fight to the death between species and individuals. If there is competition now, until recently the usual thing was war, slavery and oppression. in fact it continues to exist in many societies. Modern Western society tends towards the individual over the group, and this first creates an extremely unsatisfactory narcissism, a dead end in which the ego is revealed as a trap whose only escape is the enlightening tendency. We are committed to this task not because we are geniuses, but because there was no other possible way out given the circumstances. we have been pushed into it. If we were French in the 18th century we would be fighting duels or buying strange wigs. the evolutionary push of life is extremely strong and fast, and there is no scape, or we flow with it, or we are obsolete Yeah, That's right, but identification is something that captures us with enormous force from our youth, thousands of generations shout at us from their genes to identify with the tribe, to compete for a partner, money, success. Who cares about the glory of existence? only success matters. That's programming, life wants it that way. The fish in a coral reef don't have that shit, they spend 200 million years placidly circling the corals, always exactly the same, but humans are in a very different movie: accelerated evolution at maximum power. human evolution in 10 years is equivalent to that of any other species in half a million, to say the least. What we are doing, the opening of the mind to total reality, is no joke, it is an extreme evolutionary step. We are the spearhead of a new human era, since life has decided so. There is not other possible path, or at least it seems so. The strange thing about all this is that humanity is totally enlightened, it just doesn't realize it. all reality is direct, clear, perfect. The complexity of how it is organized seems to have no limits. An anthill is something of unimaginable complexity, from the structure of each atom, to its biological, genetic, and evolutionary configuration. a human city is a joke in level of complexity. It is a total intertwined, coordinated universe with literally billions of levels of existence. from the energetic cords that form an atom to each subtle exchange of words loaded with meaning, of destiny, that create butterfly effects that expand like waves in infinity. What is the destiny of this if it is not the greatest glory of existence? the extreme creation of infinite intelligence. the glory must shine through the form. Well, in fact, it already does, in all its power. The point is to see it, to see beyond your petty and miserable circle of identity to which we cling like hungry rats.

It is not necessary to go to a cave and become antisocial, just understand how you limit yourself and stop doing it. There is no such thing as god or worldly, everything is reality.

Considering the matter, it seems incredible that something so simple is so difficult to understand. the basis of the ego is identification. Identification is contraction, since it contracts reality into a defined circle of identity. To do this, the psyche must do constant work, every second of waking time and even during sleep. This work feels like anxiety, aka suffering. It is constant and never stops. Identification is a witness that is passed from generation to generation, and is based on the survival of the group. Life is extremely plastic, and therefore genetic adaptation is parallel to the creation of these patterns, which, as they work, are perpetuated. The problem is when they stop being necessary and become an obstacle, as is happening now in many cases. Identification in millions is starting don't contribute, it mostly subtracts. Tribal cohesion is not necessary, but is a source of suffering without any benefit. then the reverse process is beginning, the dissolution of these patterns. but they are tenacious, as we can see here. something so simple, but no one really achieves it. Identification jumps from the tribe to the individual, and the individual who wants to transcend it expands it to the cosmic, infinite or divine level, but he never lets go of it, and the contraction remains unchanged. relaxing the contraction is breaking the circle, opening the mind to reality without bottom, without limit. This is not so simple for one reason: contraction is necessary for the functioning of the individual in society. To be able to break it, the individual must first pass some, let's say, tests. You must deeply master the functioning of your contracted psyche, face everything you contract, look at it directly and deactivate it. Understand what contraction is and what it is for. In a world without identity, the individual would have risen without it and would not need to do this work, but this world is not that. Quite the contrary, identity is reinforced from birth, so the individual who wants to be free of contraction must master the art of the mind, understand all its triggers, see its mechanics dispassionately, like an entomologist, with the determination to deactivate them. The result is an unlimitedly expanded mind, with the capacity for deepen in itself, of real understanding, and free of self inflicted suffering.

interesting, as long as you know that reality has infinite complexity. That means that a little is the same as a lot.

the past exist, in your mind. But your mind exist. The existence of your mind is the same of the existence of a stone or anything else, only that it's not material, its a pattern that works in another dimension, like waves, but solid, real. The thing is perceiving the pattern, understand the ego mind, then you see that the past is something that is happening in the present

The thing is not the understanding that reality is ultimately absolute, It is doing that the absolute, which really is you, open and manifest its essence. This is the difficult art, where the mind has to be totally clean. It is a manifestation that occurs at a given moment, at least in my experience. but of course....not right now, so I doubt. it is this,? is it the other? Thinking is useless, what is useful is to polish oneself until it is transparent so that this manifestation is possible. For me one thing is obvious: for that you have to dare with the big black hole. Stop any content, any rest of humanity, of meaning, of "something", truly be the absolute total emptiness, and open yourself to it. It's quite intimidating. then, the heart of infinity opens. is this enlightenment? I think so, but who knows

The end of suffering is possible and it is obvious. we talk about self-inflicted suffering, contraction, anxiety, lack. It is a process of restructuring the psyche until reaching what they call enlightenment. Enlightenment is nothing other than being what you are, clean of the layers of the psyche, which are given in a programmed, genetic way, and are reinforced throughout life by its circumstances. Enlightenment is the total openness to being, to existence, which implies disidentification in great extent with the human pattern. I am not there, but I can get out of the human pattern with some ease, which was impossible before, so I suppose that in the future it will be even easier. Outside the human pattern, without contraction, existence is free and is complete beauty and happiness, so the most intelligent thing is to tend in that direction, especially thinking about the possibility, quite possible, that there will be karmic continuity in future cycles.
