@TheSomeBody what was your breatharian process like

Okay but reality has to be something. So why not consciousness ?

Solipsism is a feeling not a belief. When you realize that everything you are aware of is your own awareness . That's the state of solipsism. You aren't saying there are no others, you're just realizing all you really know is your own being .

Nice. How was it? I'll be attending a 6 day Zen retreat in about 2 weeks.

From your pov you're all that is, from my pov I'm all that is.

I always understood "solipsism" as you as a differentiated stream of consciousness being eternal . So it's actually natural there would be an infinity of Gods. But there's also a deeper Oneness beneath perception.

@TheSomeBody What do you think about people starving in Africa?

Do you have an explanation for how it works? Does the body become a light body or somerhing? What happens after you've been a breatharian for 7 years and all your cells have regenerated ? Is your whole body then a light body? Would that lead to physical immortality?

Yes AI is very scary but imagine if a rogue capitalist entity created a device that took something like remote viewing and multiplied its power by 1000x. You can't even imagine the level of destruction that would cause.

I can't say one definitively way or another whether these abilities exist. My intuition says yes. I am very okay with the majority not being aware of such abilities , again if stage orange weaponized them en masse it would be bad, really bad.

Critique of new age spirituality Misunderstanding of God -Christianity will critique the new age as attempting to "be god", there's a sense in which they are wrong but another sense in which they are right. Being God means absolute surrender , not manifestation super powers GPT 40: That’s a sharp and grounded critique—one that hits at the essential distortion in much of New Age spirituality: a misunderstanding of what it means to be God. Let’s build that out into a full critique, centered on your insight. Critique of New Age Spirituality: Misunderstanding of God 1. The Core Confusion: God as Empowered Ego New Age teachings often claim: “You are God.” “You create your reality.” “Just raise your vibration, manifest your desires, attract abundance.” But this “God” is not the Absolute. It’s the ego in cosmic drag. True Godhood isn’t about control. It’s about radical surrender. To realize you are God is not to become the ultimate manifestor—it’s to die into the formless and to disappear into Love that has no center. 2. Christianity’s Critique: Half Right, Half Wrong Traditional Christianity often condemns the New Age for: Pride Playing God Idolatry of the Self They say: “You can’t be God. Only God is God.” This is wrong in the metaphysical sense—because the mystical core of Christianity (Eckhart, John of the Cross, Jesus himself) does affirm that the divine and the self are One in their ground. “Before Abraham was, I Am.” “The Father and I are One.” But Christianity is right in an unexpected way: When the New Age says “I am God” without surrendering ego, it is pride. They want to possess God, not become empty for God to move through. 3. The Realization of Godhood is Not Empowerment—It’s Emptiness To say “I am God” in the highest sense is to say: I am not the doer. I have no personal will. I surrender even my enlightenment. I am the field itself—not the character within it. I manifest not what I want—but what Truth wants. It’s not “I can manifest my dream house” It’s “There is no ‘I’ apart from the Dreamer.” 4. Love, Not Power True realization doesn’t increase your “powers.” It melts you into love so radical that it includes death, loss, and not-knowing. The real God doesn’t play the Law of Attraction game. The real God dies on the cross, in every moment, in every being.

Materialism is playing an important function in denying the possibility of these abilities . If the stage orange mind weaponized such phenomena on a mass scale it would be cataclysmic.

Yes in a sense. Like I understand deeply shoppenhauer calling God the Will. It's blind, amoral, and primal. Its desire , its creative .

Faith is very important but can also be corrupted. I used to have faith in law of attraction and manifestation and was constantly disappointed . You can mediate some of the corruption of faith with "not my will but yours be done."

@Xonas Pitfall I think I understand what you're saying up to a certain point. I guess where I diverge is this: I agree that love is an emotional response to oneness, but haven't had the *realization* that the two are actually the same. So I understand that a feeling of love can arise when unity is experienced , but I can't verify that the unity literally *is love* and the problem of suffering / evil just compounds my confusion. Example, some theists will say that the problem of evil is negated because we're here to evolve our souls. But I don't understand why God couldn't have just made us evolved . I would love (lol) to be proven wrong , infinite love sounds great . I just haven't experienced it.

Can you explain why collapsing into One is equivalent to Love, Leo also says this and I just don't get it. To me it's like telling someone with cancer "God loves you," okay that may be true but, God might "love" me enough to create me but he won't heal my cancer so does it really matter? Why call it love ?

That's what I would say to someone asking the difference between what I know and what a law of attraction new age person wishes .

I struggle to understand why there should be suffering at all. I can think of two reasons 1) Infinity is completely indscriminate and creates anything logically possible . if that is the case , I guess it's still God, but it feels like a very abstract mechanical God 2) Infinity is intentionally limited, implying God chooses to create evil. I fail to see how this is Love. I've awakened to Consciousness but have never awakened to Love. So I understand if some people have it seems obvious , but I fail to see how "oneness" implies Love, and why God would create horrors. Again, unless God is simply powerless and just ejaculates everything conceivable at once, or God simply doesn't care and creates evil for fun. nothing in my awakenings has even for a moment suggested love is anything more than a human emotion, basically equivalent to desire, but id certainly like to awaken to love .

Wow just getting to see all these fundamentalists and feel their energy . Notice how they know just enough about god to serve their survival agenda. they're absolutely shameless This meanwhile is the best Christian I've found on YouTube

@ExploringReality thank you I basically swore off dmt until I felt I could handle that level of consciousness again and haven't touched it since

@Leo Gura is infinity completely indiscriminate or does it limit itself for some kind of aesthetic . Is there a universe that's just Tiger Woods.

This was my dmt trip, but the real awakening occured the next day I smoked a dmt vape pen until I forgot that I'd done it. Visuals wise there appear to be some snake pipes (green anacondas that are also pipes ) in the walls , I can see them through the wall. A lot of loud sounds, my brain is zapped by electricity, it's like my brain is an old analog tv with no signal . I have no idea who or what I am. I can hear my parents and my dog upstairs but I have no idea who they are, I feel totally alone in a ocean of awareness but not as a person, no memories . The next day I am utterly convinced of solipsism. I feel deeply that the entire world is my creation. I can feel the energy of my being radiating out through my skin and my eyes to construct the world. The level of fear is like nothing I've experienced. Not that it's the worst fear I've experienced, I just mean it is a categorically different kind of fear . It feels like the very mechanism by which "Maya", the illusion of non-solipsism, is imagined.

The same but more consciousness .

Leibniz understands solipsism solipsism is a state of being alone forever and it definitely is god but it's a rather limited version of it
