Suffering is basically wanting things to be different than they are. If you are sleeping on the street in the freezing rain, dressed in rags and after 5 days without eating, but you want that situation, you will have an interesting time, a sporting challenge. If, on the other hand, it seems to you that things should be completely different, you will suffer. This suffering can make you look for a warm place, better clothes, etc. The only way not to suffer, or suffer consciously, is to realize that everything serves a purpose, and that purpose in the end is yours. It can be difficult sometimes. If, for example, after giving your best to your children, they bury you in an anthill for fun to watch the ants devour your face for days, it will not be easy to be happy with the situation, but that's life.

Existence is inevitable because there are no limits. If there were non-existence it would be because something would limit the fact that everything is, and nothing can limit, since that which limits would be something, and therefore it would exist, it would be unlimited, and it would be existence. Existence cannot escape from existing, and cannot stop, it is in perpetual motion, due to its limitlessness. There are two complementary realizations. The first is horrible and is when you realize that you exist in eternity, with no possibility of escape. This is perceived as an eternal prison and it cannot be worse. The second is when you realize that you have no limits. This is perceived as total freedom and it cannot be better.

Sure, reality is intelligence, creative power, movement, but it is not deliberate, it is inevitable. This nuance is important, since when we think of God we think of a creative entity that does things by his will. It is different from an infinite living ocean that, given its infinity, moves on itself, giving rise to manifestations of its essence. This would be more a natural phenomenon that God, being also consciousness and intelligence, is not someone but something, and is not omnipotent but paradoxically limited by his unlimited nature

You can call it god if you want, but reality does not have free will since it cannot escape the fact of existing, nor the fact of being everything, the need for balanced yin and yang, therefore the god that remains is quite limited. Endless movement in the primal sea, as your text said, seems mucho more accurate

No , I mean to be without the self. Reality is now, this is like this all the time, and almost all the time there is a filter that evaluates everything and creates structures, that filter is what it seems that I am, since it is perceived as the center of the experience. everything is filtered and valued by it. seeks to get away from suffering. If that filter disappears for a while, reality stops appearing as linear and appears as depth, and then you perceive what it is. But that self is well established and has very solid evolutionary mechanisms, it is in the genes, in the primordial structure of the current configuration of reality, so it always returns.

Fear. the chain that slaves.

As they said above, I think it is necessary to forget everything, including the word awakening or illusion. The only thing you have to do is focus on the opening of this exact moment, on penetrating in yourself, opening yourself and opening reality, since you are one, and for that the mind have to be empty

In my experience of deep states, reality understands itself completely, is infinite and is free. It dances on itself, it is eternal movement and it is total joy of being, it is spotless beauty, profound perfection. It is the mask of the ego, necessary to drive movement in a certain sense, that experiences suffering, but that suffering is nothing to reality, it is depth and beauty, it is what could be called (at the risk of sounding like a parrot) love.

It is completely different to suffer knowing what existence is and open yourself to it, than to suffer thinking that you should not suffer and resist it.

Seems a deep understanding of what reality is. I think that is the nature of infinity. not a god who makes things but the limitless ocean in eternal motion

that phrase implies someone who needs to be distracted and does things. That is the perspective of the self, I would say that unlimited reality is more of a natural phenomenon in eternal movement, because the fact of infinity entails endless cyclical movement.

At least I realize what reality is in some specific moments, moments of openness, but in the normal state I am aware of the suffering that human life includes. In fact, suffering is an essential part of being human, and its level can be very high. There is a very common human suffering in human reality that none of us here have experienced, which is real violence. That them enslave your daughters and torture you and then crucify you, those human things that none of us want. As you have said, they are emergences that occur in dual reality, but it is difficult to understand the level and degree of what this moment can be, and the purpose of those emergences. Well, the purpose seems to be evolution, reincarnation, etc, but who knows if it's the case. I would say that yes, every experience of real suffering makes the human deeper. Seems that everything tends to that, deeper conciousness , but who knows

Suffering is the engine of the evolution of life, without suffering there is stillness, and life is not still, it is cyclical and in perpetual motion. The human ego is alive and constantly evolving, and its share of suffering is inevitable. If all humans were like Ramana Maharshi, without ego, meditating all day, they would disappear. Suffering is necessary to create. The thing is to suffer with sportsmanship, knowing that suffering is an evolutionary tool that allows us to deepen our consciousness and expand our lives. It is possible to be able to access states free of suffering, to leave human life at will, but there will always be moments when life catches you.

I see reality as an evolutionary push. It seems that reality cannot avoid this, absolutely everything moves in one direction, every particle of existence tends towards something. It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to have a complete vision of what reality is. living existence in motion. If I had to bet, I would say that reality is a natural and inevitable phenomenon caused by the absence of limits that gives rise to living infinity. the unfathomable mystery that this moment is. God is the unlimited intelligence that is all reality, and this intelligence cannot help but create. Nothing can be static, and when it has to move, it moves upward, and then it will reach a point where it will return to the base, and so on forever because it cannot do anything else. I once had the realization on psychedelics of being existence and being trapped in the fact of existing with no possibility of escape, ever. and it was something so horrible that it escapes all description. but at some point you realize that this is not the case, since there are no limits, you are totally free.

Ignorance is looking for love outside of yourself, this makes you an idiot who lives limited, without understanding anything, doing things that you really don't like, empty of love towards yourself and towards others, an empty shell that is pure anxiety, since you look and live in the wrong direction. You could say that ignorance is a form of madness.

I couldn't find so not sure, maybe I read this in the forum, but for example this video. I watch and my impression is that he's inventing everything

He's not honest, since he is deceiving himself by pretending to be sure of things in order to live more calmly and with less anxiety and fear.

This word has no sense in infinity

The only thing that will make you honest is to realize that every lie imprisons you. in case you really want to be free. but the normal thing is to be a fool who looks for love outside of himself

It is impossible to unite the realization of infinity with the realization of the finite. It doesn't matter if you say that this reality is a dream, the dream idea does not take away its reality, nor its finitude

He says a lot of very strange things, but he seems like a smart guy. Do you really think that people who die in an accident enter hell? or what he says about aliens, or many other things. maybe yes, but it's strange. When there is a lot of money at stake, you should always be wary. The extremely rare thing is a completely honest person. Maybe he is, but probably not.

loneliness. being isolated in the self, prisoner, focusing my energy towards the ego and full of barriers towards the outside and others. a shitty bad trip, an energetic configuration I'd rather never face again.

It is impossible to understand death. When we say death we speak of the disappearance of the form that is now. If the form disappears, existence remains formless, infinity undefined. Infinity is now and it is possible to realize it clearly, perceive and understand what the substance of reality is, see that infinity is life, existence , love, any word to define what this moment is. So, at the very moment of breaking this form, what happens? death? the formless infinity...but how long? no time because the formless infinite is timeless, time is created by form. then, the consciousness that is now conscious, is conscious of the form and also of itself without form. If this form is erased, the infinite consciousness remains without form, everything, the total perfect life. but when, if there is no time? Create another form again? another implies something consecutive, which follows something else. once a form disappears and the totality is formless, it is that there never was form and there never will be, it is eternity still without time. So how does the form originate? how it ends? impossible to understand

Fear is what closes us and it is deeper and more omnipresent than it seems, few really face it. Fear is what creates the duality between me and what is not me, it is the doors of the cave of Blake's poem, the door without a door that is the self. Without fear there is no self, and openness is total. The only solution to fear is total openness to existence, that is, to yourself. completely accept the whole cake, and this is not easy, because it includes the yin, but if you don't do it you also close yourself off to the yang and life is miserable. I also see it as fundamental, as you said, to completely dissolve fear before dying, it is something that must be done in this life if I want to be free.

Yes, but this is where the nuance is. As you said, reality is what you are, but it is different than: I am creating reality. I always leave a door open that I haven't gone deep enough to see what Leo is saying, but I would say there is a mistake here. The reality is, and that's what I am. This reality springs from the fact of the absence of limits and develops as a cyclical natural phenomenon (this is speculation based on insight, it may be wrong). Within this reality the self appears, which is the center of the experience, and when Leo says I am God creating reality he thinks that God is the self, when the self is creation, it is within reality, not reality within the self. I've seen this on 5meo, you have an opening experience, but you're still there, it's you seeing things, until sometimes, it breaks. reality is and the totality manifests. This is extremely non-normal, undefinable. You see that the self is the door that prevents vision and does so so that experience can exist. Therefore, the ultimate reality is not experience, but experience is a creation, it needs limitation. Without limits there is no experience, and what limits is precisely the self, what is born and dies. So, one could say that God creates the self, but this does not seem to me to be the case. I see that reality is organized spontaneously in cyclical patterns, increasing its complexity without a director behind it, Inevitably, it is the nature of existence
