Yes, we have to understand deeply our conditioning in order to free ourselves from it and jump to another dimension of being

You were exactly the same substance than now. Can't you perceive it? Remove everything and the alive substance remains, it's immutable, is always the same, is your true nature. Then you identify with what you are and forget everything else as something that arises and pass, then you are here and now always, expanded in your true nature, and in a giving moment, you perceive that you are more than this cycle of birth, development and death. That cycle is happening in you. Then you are free.

No, that is having serious depression. Enlightenment means that your mental landscape is no longer limited by emotional and mental structures but flows directly from the source. It is a change in frequency. Within that flow, things like fear or desire occur, but they are seen as a flow of what is, like everything that exists, and one does not identify with them since everything passes and changes. There are no limits and therefore anything is dwarfed in its importance, you are not that, but the flow itself, and this flow is impersonal, it is a phenomenon that occurs given the absence of limits, which ultimately is what you are: absence of limits, from which reality emerges , then you, the reality, perceive itself without any doubt as eternal, and you perceive your alive substance, the intelligence, the life

@Water by the River great post. for once sellingwater speaks with his own voice and it is powerful and full of clarity. Maybe are you working in a book?

Think in conciousness as a synonym of existence. What would existence be without self-consciousness? the same as non-existence. there wouldn't be any difference.

Yes, at the end, you are that, but it's something impersonal, is the substance of the reality, just absence of limits. Is absence of limits a self? Or something?

What is the source of everything that exists? That's what you are, the horizon of possibilities, the unfathomable depth that exists, the infinity that is conscious of itself, The source of the infinites universes, the power that arises from the nothingness, the totality that can't avoid being because there are not limits. The absolute freedom. God? That word is confusing. Just existence, what you are

Our thoughts are the manifestation of the pattern of existence that we are. and in some way we are them because the self, the idea we have of what we are, is created by them. But really we are the source of the thoughts, not them, and the source of the thoughts ultimately is the reality.

The karma of your family line is transmitted for thousands of generations and becomes saturated. Wild living beings have no karma, they live and die according to natural law, the fact of being alive is the truth. But humans are kept alive artificially and karma accumulates. the lie. wildlife you live and die in the purity of truth. Human life accumulates lies until a critical point, and at that point the individual either self-destructs, or breaks the border of what is human and transcends

Ok , the descriptions are just opposition games, but the reality is and you are that, call it what you want

Once on a mushroom trip I looked at my hands and they seemed strange, alien, twisted, monstrous. Everything I looked at had that same quality, threatening, unfamiliar, hostile, but the hands were the hands of a demon. Fortunately I managed to turn that environment into something, let's say, fluid.

Totally agree. When you see the depth of the game, you realize it's difficulty. Then you realize that you are the intelligence in movement, pushing, creating, and realize that it's difficult, but not too difficult . It's something to be done.

What addiction do you have? Thinking that reality is nothing? 😅 Maybe I'm nothing, but I perceive like everything. A well without bottom where everything is. It's quite scary btw. Open your eyes and realize that the infinity is this, now, and nothing can be known. Like you are alone floating in the eternity. But it's not like that, you are not floating in the eternity, you are the eternity, and there are no limits. And really you can know something, the most important thing: what you are. That is enlightenment. To see your true face. That's extremely difficult, because a lot of mental traps veil it. The human condition itself is the veil, a game very difficult to solve. See it a moment is the work, at least for me. A moment as often as you can, in a total way. Then the mind start to be thinner, but the true perception maintained is very difficult

Good reflection. Id say that a yogi is one who manages to break his chains and release his true nature in this human experience. someone who knows his human structure and overcomes it, without any subterfuge, and equalize it with the flow of the reality, being one with it

This is what spiritual work is about, separating yourself from the learned social matrix, and opening yourself to reality without a filter. As humans we are programmed to be part of the hive and the glue that binds us together is language, which transmits ideas that have genetic force. Every living being has the life/death duality programmed. Based on this primordial ramification, we humans erect a web of ideas transmitted by the word of enormous complexity, and we inevitably get lost in it and acquire a logical, filtered way of processing, lacking in vitality. the work is to understand, penetrate, break and open

The ego simply follows the evolutionary movement that corresponds to it, like everything that exists in the cosmos. If the ego longs for something, it is because it must long for it, just as a plant moves towards the sun, the ego moves where it should. some egos move toward total liberation. Others, like yours, go around thinking that they have already found the key to the enigma, when it is obvious that they remain in the territory of the mind. But they are too proud to humble themselves, so they never break the barrier. others, like the op, advance with frankness, they are too smart to weigh themselves down with pride, knowing that this works against them. It's all very simple, but at the same time very difficult. break the capsule, open yourself to unlimited reality.

The ego is right doing that. That's intuition, the ego intuits the trap and intuits the freedom. That's the way of liberation. Get contented with less is a mistake

I thought there were certain obsessions that I could never leave behind. a quite wild distortion of hatred caused by highly toxic people in my family with whom I lived as a child. There was a large component of violence in me that I channeled as best as possible but that always threatened to turn against me. This has been the driving force that has pushed me to go to the bottom. At a certain point, you break the capsule of the self. This does not mean that you go through life like Jesus Christ, you can spend all day thinking about sex and stuff, but your mental landscape has lost its limits, it has become bottomless depth, and from that depth springs the substance of existence, your true nature, quite clearly, then the obsessions and other dysfunctions of the self lose most of their strength as they become marginal, since if you perceive reality as something unlimited everything tends to become smaller in comparison, until it almost disappears, even life and death. Then, if I were you, I would push harder, deeper, without fear. Destroy your self again and again, until it becomes weak. Open your being to the unlimited, that's the work that you have to do in life. Then the fire that is in you will burn clear, clean, to outside, not to inside, because inside is not a self anymore to be burnt

And what happens to the perfect harmony of this experience? maybe you can't see it? Let's see, I know you think that there is no self, but you are aware that reality exists, right? You know if you break a bone it hurts and stuff. does all that happen? How? Is it something, let's say, that happens alone, due to some type of inertia? What inertia is that? What causes it? Now I'm going to respond as if I were you: the self longs for something to exist, and it imagines it, but... there is nothing! just things that happen. 😅. but friend, things happen, and if you are blind to their perfection and synchronicity, and prefer to take refuge in your simplification of "no self", well...seems that you are giving all the authority to a superior power that is the inertia of the reality

Sure but movement is happening, the cosmos is dancing, and it's impossible to understand it's dance. Or maybe could be possible in some extent? But the infinity is in movement and it's movement is perfect and symchronic, that's a fact. Everything seems that moves to more complexity, more depth, harmony, perfection. Just perceive what you are, your complexity, all your depth. You are an structure of reality of unimaginable complexity in perfect harmony, everything is that. The cosmos is art of a level that we can only intuit. The glory of god blinds, kills. Inside us a supernova of intelligence is burning, expanding it's limits and creating structures and structures out nothing, just to create. And all of them are synchronized to infinity, the human mind can just humble itself and move apart

When you say: I am the reality, you are articulating that though from the structured mind, same is you say: my arm hurts. But if you break a bone and your harm hurts, it does the same if you articulate the thought or not. The thoughts, ideas, concepts, are created in base a realities. They are not the reality, are a mental representation of reality. But when you are so used to them that can't live without them even 1 second, you confuse they with reality. That's why we do meditation, etc. Then, why to articulate: I'm the reality? Because you can remove all the, let's say, deception, of the present moment until absolutely no projection is, there is no time, ideas, nothing. Then the reality perceives itself absolutely clearly, same that you perceive the pain if you break a bone. Then you are aware of what you are, you can define it as existence or any other word, same that you can define pain . Are just words, but constructed over a reality. Let's see, reality is, that's impossible to deny. So, remove everything and see, that's it.

Deep meditation when there is zero thought, no structure, just the pure naked reality. It's obvious when you can detach yourself from the structured mind. all the work that we are doing is about that. You are the reality, the structured mind veils your perception, encapsulating it. The reality perceives itself directly, and that's enlightenment, it's quite simple. Without conciousness there is nothing, no existence. Conciousness creates the reality being conscious of itself, and you are that.

The ego is simply another construction of consciousness. Let's say that reality is unlimited potentiality, it is so because there are simply no limits. Consciousness is the highlighting of part of that potentiality, and it arises for the same reason, because there are no limits for it not to do so, therefore, it always was, since it is now. It has the necessary particularity that everything that stands out from the infinite potentiality must be perfect, since if it is not it collapses, it is not sustainable, it must be balanced. and this is its nature, perfection and total intelligence, since if it were any other way it would collapse. If you eliminate everything superfluous, the time, the illusion, in deep meditation or/and with psychedelics, it is something that you see as obvious, since you see yourself as the reality/consciousness/intelligence that creates, but create is not the word since nothing can be created but rather it is drawn, or as they say, imagined, highlighting parts of the infinite potentiality creating cycles of endless birth and death that coordinate with each other forming the infinite cosmos. inevitable

Confused. Enlightenment is when reality become aware of itself, and answer all the questions with a simple answer: I am. Reality exist, and can see itself clearly. You are, because you is just the word that defines what is. It's not the you who have 2 legs and walk, is the existence that arises, or in other words, the conciousness that enlighten the reality being conscious or itself, or creating the reality if you prefer.

You can focus in the now and be aware of your true nature and the eternity, ant then get deep in the structure of the configuration of this experience and understand as deep as you can the movement of the reality
