Moksha

@James123 The Mystery is the entanglement of no-thingness with thingness. Consciousness is no-thing, but it localizes itself with time and space, creating the infinitely diverse illusion of things within itself.

Psychedelics are like mini-catastrophes to the ego. I can see why psychonauts ride them. I hope it ultimately helps them suffer less.

@Javfly33 When you get it, you won't have to ask others if you are right ?

@ajai ? ?

I've heard Tolle describe his awakening, and you are 100% correct. It was violent ego death. Awakening isn't always catastrophic like this; it can also happen as a long, slow, intensely suffering burn, that finally collapses the structure of your egoic self. Even then, you still have to toss the remaining timbers of your conditioning, one by one, into the flames. Judging anyone's spiritual journey is usually the act of a fool. It is typically hypocritical of the ego, to judge someone else for not being free of itself.

Hi @ajai, I only directly realize Consciousness as Love. As a pointer, I understand dharma to be the intent of Consciousness.

@deci belle The dharma of buddhas is love. Don't make the mistake of dismissing what I have said as aesthetic fascination. There is nothing more beautiful than Consciousness realizing itself. To dismiss this realization, and its expression, as "boring" is to paint a giant target on your ignorance. If you have seen spiritually, you understand that Consciousness is love. It is not a mere virtue, it is its holy self. I have realized myself, and you, as Consciousness. And yes, we are beautiful.

@Osaid @Inliytened1 Awakening vs. Enlightenment.

I don't feel Tolle, Sadhguru, or Mooji are a joke.

@Gneh Onebar Does the realization that he is god make him feel special? If so, it isn't a realization.

Maybe there is no highest level, only the collapsing of the infinite dream levels, into the singularity that is Tat.

@Inliytened1 ??

If you feel the breeze as a physical sensation, recognize it for what it is, just like your thoughts, without identifying with it. If you are able to feel the breeze, resonating with who you are, realize it. Consciously, you are the same as the breeze.

@Chimera Relative love is beautiful, but only relatively so. The best and purest love is already who you are. ?

The ego flexes itself as the god of gods. The true god is the still point of the cosmos: At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

@ConsciousOwl10 It makes perfect sense. Until it doesn't. Not to be cute, but there is a pointer in your last sentence. Silence and staring into space. That is more profound than staring at your hand. If you are able, let your thoughts recede, and ask the simple question. What is observing the thoughts?

Do you realize what transcends personality? Is the realization conceptual? Is it emotional? Is it ultimate?

I've only seen 3 of Leo's videos, but in the famous one, where he posted his psychedelic "ego-death", he admitted that he had no ability to change his bookcase.

If by reality you mean transcendent reality, No. If by reality you mean relative reality, Yes.

Welcome! Can you explain a little more what you mean here? If I understand correctly, are you looking for a thought that will justify the purpose of life? If so, is it possible that your purpose could be found in something other than a thought?

@deci belle What is your view on: The dharma of humans is to help one another Suchness, invariably infused with Consciousness, is inherently holy The difference between aesthetic beauty, as realized by human eyes, and spiritual beauty, as realized by Consciousness itself

@deci belle The beauty of deconditioning is that it frees the aspect of Consciousness that it was hiding from itself. This is ultimate freedom. No habits, no compulsions, no grasping for meaning, just the serenity and joy of Conscious being. Boredom is a habit of the mind. It is resistance to being. In Consciousness, there is no boredom, because there are no attachments, to thoughts, to feelings, to actions, or to anything. When people wake up, sometimes they will spend months, years, even the rest of their lives, just Consciously observing and enjoying the diversity of their creation in all forms. For most though, there comes a time when Consciousness compels creation. It loves nothing more than to express itself, through all forms of art, but especially through love, which is the purest expression of art.
