Total enlightenment is when the superficial aspect of the experience dissolves completely, like a hologram vanishing, leaving only the total, limitless essence. In my experience, this can happen for a few moments, a few seconds, and immediately the structure of the experience returns. But this structure can become more transparent, allowing the essence to shine through, revealing the cycle of creation and destruction and its infinite richness, its perfection. It is very easy for this to become veiled, to turn opaque very fast.

The immutable aspect of "enlightenment" can be described as Sat chit Ananda Sat: which is, the fact of being inherent in every form Chit: that stands out, is known, is self-aware Ananda: fullness, absolute joy It refers to the living quality of the unlimited. Any pain, suffering, or negativity is a subjective, circumstantial interpretation of this underlying reality. The question is: do you focus on your circumstances or your essence? It's quite simple. If you focus on your essence long enough, you will open yourself to it. Essence is nameless, indescribable, not good, bad, love, or emptiness. All of that is circumstance, and it's very easy to get lost in it.

That would imply intentionality, which would imply a conscious god who does things for a reason, which would imply that this god is limited. True spirituality is openness to the unlimited, and it cannot be formulated. Religion is a formulation of spirituality so that it can be integrated into the human conceptual system. Spirituality is non-conceptual. No religion is true; they are all systems of social cohesion necessary for coexistence. The great religions have a core of true mysticism, but true mysticism is formless. It's an action, not an structure.

Seriously you don't realize what nonsense does that guy spout? A smart guy like you? Everything in the West is bad; it's a deliberate plan to do evil, appropriating other people's religions to humiliate them and strip them of their identity, all while impoverishing them. Well, I suppose the 12th-century world that Muslims long for was richer, and they respected a lot others religions. The Islam is expansionist, it's written in Quran, and that guy complains that Christianity expanded. Poor man, he's very sad and bitter, and his vision is extremely limited, because he's just jealous. don't you see it? He's full of anger because he feels inferior, then he needs to put west down. Too obvious. This man probably would have approved of the fate that the Islamic authorities reserved for al-Hallaj, perhaps the purest known mystic in history. Ana al haqq, I am the truth. Alter ego of Christ.

Means the necessary destruction of all form in the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. It also signifies the death of falsehood, of the ego's separation, which unlocks absolute truth. Its character is passion and wild, for the essence of life is limitlessness and rejoices itself in both birth and destruction.

@zurew Kali symbolizes the living flow or reality, the dance of creation and destruction, the movement. Shiva is the substance of reality, the absolute openess, immutable, total, diaphanous. Movement overlaps with stillness, since stillness is timeless. Kali is precisely time, the vitality of reality. Shiva is substance, Kali is manifestation. Both are one, since all manifestation is always substance, and substance always manifests, since the absence of manifestation is out of the time, it doesn't happen. "Happening" is movement, relationship, and movement is time. Relationship are unlimited, synchronous and interconnected to infinity. Kali is a perfect symbol of that.

@emil1234 The only point I would qualify is when you say that reality is love. Let's see, what we call love is simply the absence of obstacles, absolute openness. It's not something positive like: God, who is good, has so much love that He created you out of love (and pink ponies, and Jesus loves you). No. God isn't an entity that does things out of something called love, like a loving grandmother who loves you. The matter is much simpler. In the absence of limits, the totality inevitably manifests, and it is absolute expansion, living totality, unlimited power, direct living creation. When you break the barriers that limit you, the limitlessness manifest in you,. because you are that, and you call it love, but it's love like this:

That's what I call openess. What reality is is unlimited, and we, as humans, close off a section; what we perceive as "bad" has no place in our hearts, only the "good." So the bad, which we reject, remains in the form of wounds, fears, closed off. At a certain moment, you open your heart and then you realize that it wasn't your heart; it was simply the reality, and reality is unfathomable, therefore it contains everything. The energy that was previously trapped flows freely, and you realize that this moment is eternal and has no limits; its power is absolute, its energy is that of infinite dimensions, infinite universes, always flowing in an absolutely perfect way. Reality is total, and it's alive, because if has not limits. Very simple, inevitable.

It's not there for you. If you place yourself at the center of existence, then yes. But if something has a center, it is finite by definition.

First, as you said before, we need to be clear about what the term "consciousness" means to us. Let's say it means being aware, perceiving. Do you agree? Then, this would imply that without something to be conscious of, there would be no consciousness. And furthermore, that something would have to be in constant change, because otherwise consciousness would be unaware of being conscious. Because "something" is precisely change. Without change, there is nothing. Then, without contrast, there is no happening ,there is timelessness, and this is equivalent to non-existence. It is the interval between one change and another, and it has no duration; it is zero. Without change, consciousness is zero, nonexistent. Then, if consciousness depends on change, since it is precisely the perception of change, you cannot say that change is made of consciousness, but rather that consciousness is made of change. And to finish, If existence is change, a contrast between states, then change itself is not the fundamental reality but its inevitable consequence. The fundamental reality is what changes, not change, and this fundamental reality is beyond any definition; it is the unfathomable, the absence of limitations. It is existence, since it is in motion, and non-existence, since it does not need motion but rather motion occurs as the inevitable consequence of its boundlessness. It's the totality, that can be conscious of itself or not, without any difference

Concepts are logical constructs that point to other logical constructs; therefore, absolute reality is not conceptualizable. However, relative reality is, since everything relative is logically relative to another state. Thus, consciousness can be said to be a reality relative to the change of state, since without change there is no consciousness; there is only the non-space between two changes. Existence is always relative and is always change. Existence is a verb. Changes are infinite, and the contrast between states is what we call consciousness. Total, non-conceptualizable reality is the absence of limits. It can only be defined negatively. It's what can be opened in you, because you are that, as anything that exists.

I don't know what do you mean

. It's not about imposing a vision, it's about presenting a logical structure without cracks. If you find flaws, then I'll admit it

The problem is not having a strong identity, but an identity that proclaims that whoever is outside your "umma" is condemned to hell, is a disgusting, despicable, impure kaffir, and that women are possessions and must be raped by whomever their family orders. Don't seems funny living close of that ideology of hate and exclusion. The Jews were hated because they were richer that the native population, that is, out of envy. Muslims are rejected because of their strange philosophy that one must absolutely obey everything said by a 6th-century warlord since he was channeling god to avoid being tortured for eternity. It seems somewhat psychotic, not compatible with evolution Sure, and Naseem Hamed, the best Muslim boxer of all times, was an idiot much worse that McGregor About the identity of the westerns, it's freedom. Freedom is expensive, and can lead to nihilism, but real life is dangerous, who wants going hand in hand with daddy Muhammad because otherwise life scares me? Six-year-old children who look like adults? Cowards that believe tales because they can't face life without filter.

It's not a belief. What is consciousness in the absence of change?

Consciousness requires change and duality. Therefore, it is obvious that reality is not consciousness, but rather that consciousness occurs within reality. There is always consciousness, since "always" is a temporal concept, implying time, and therefore change. Thus, in reality, change "always" occurs, since the absence of change is "never." This does not mean that reality is change, nor that it is time, nor consciousness. Therefore, a brain is a structure that reality creates and that causes consciousness to appear. Enlightenment isn't about realizing you are consciousness, because consciousness isn't a thing; it's the contrast of a change of state from another stable state. It's a relational movement that always occurs in reality.

Existence is the inevitable manifestation of the absence of limits. Existence is something positive, a movement, a contrast, change. It is the contrast between possible states, being infinite possibilities since there are not absolute limits. It is something obvious, and something that science will be able to define at some point. Quantum physics, when it speaks of fluctuations in fields and void energy, is pointing to the root of existence. It's not mysterious at all, it's inevitable, common, obvious. And it's exactly you.

Maybe they should have told to US: hey, we don't allow that things that you do! Regardless of the reasons, Europeans in the Netherlands, Germany, England, or France perceive the Islamization of their countries as a serious threat. This will lead to the rise of far-right parties, because people genuinely do not want Islam to advance in Europe. Islam is seen as an ideology of oppression to women and exclusion to the different. Hate and violence. Then nobody likes it . It seems many people also don't think it's a good idea to go bankrupt over the war in Ukraine, no matter how much politicians try to sell the idea that after Ukraine Putin will try to conquer England. It seems some people don't buy that story and think investing billions in nuclear submarines is a joke. Just to allow the American bosses make business at the cost of ruining the Germans. It seems that some Germans don't consider that a viable path, even they clearly know that Germany in not a sovereign county but a puppet

A high quality analysis of the current situation

Sure, the existence of an infinite entity that makes decisions is a logical impossibility. An entity that makes decisions is finite by definition.

Interesting Putin speech Interesting Putin speech in which he claims that the US buys large quantities of uranium from Russia while prohibiting Europe from buying energy from it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPYv-W6D6Cr/?igsh=MTk0ZjN6cTQzYXNjdw==

@TruthFreedom don't believe what is not logic. If only what you are conscious of now exists, where is the consciousness of being God creating this experience? Hidden? If something is hidden, many things can also be hidden, perhaps infinite things.

If you are having a specific experience now, it means you had another, different specific experience, and that you will have yet another. Where are those experiences? If you are now God creating this dream but are not aware of it, where is the awareness of it? Hidden? Perhaps you are also now a Chinese worker, and the awareness of that is also hidden.

Psychedelics work if your orientation is correct. You shouldn't be oriented toward understanding, but toward openness. If your orientation is toward understanding, you'll enter into mystical delusions; if it's toward breaking down the energetic barriers that keep you confined, you'll gradually dissolve them, until one day, at a certain moment, the entire ocean will open within you, and you will be that. There's nothing to understand; you must be limitless. This isn't something you can do with your mind; something real must break, a barrier must fall. Then the totality will manifest.

The only difference between enlightenment and non-enlightenment is energetic. All that stuff about experience, silence, thoughts, attachment, it doesn't mean anything special; they're movements of reality, ripples that occur. Enlightenment is easily defined: it's the absence of energetic limits that keep you in a superficial state. To say that experience is this or that, or that consciousness is this or that, is a mistake. Experience implies subject and object. Both are the disposition that reality is taking at a given moment. Consciousness implies the same: something that is aware of something. Enlightenment is when reality dissolves into itself and limits disappear. Then, living depth is revealed at every moment, the source from which reality flows becomes obvious and merges with reality. The dance of forms is perceived as perfect, fluid, limitless vitality. And the obviousness of limitlessness makes it obvious that everything that exists is interconnected, death is impossible because you are what is, and every movement of reality generates an effect that expands without limit.
