Are you Mañjuśrī?

@Leo Gura what would you say is your most profound / insightful video? You know them best, after all…

X80 concentrate stage 1: bong rip of 80x stage 2: unconsciousness stage 3: awakening in terror with memories of being tied to a table surrounded by aliens telling me my life was a joke and I shouldn’t take it seriously, nothing is what I believe it is stage 4: realize reality is imploding across my vision, all visual phenomena are falling into a distorted line across my vision which seems to be pulling me in too stage 5: more terror and screaming ok, have fun replicating that!

You’re a comedian and I’m here for it.

Instead of considering them as toxic (not nice), you could just recognize that the real problem is you not enjoying your time together. If you make it more about your own experience and less about defining them… It’s just you doing what you enjoy and not doing what you don’t. Cheers. Mind tricks

Well that was a pleasant surprise. I Love Yiruma. This song is actually my alarm clock music… ? Time to wake up. ?

By all means @Javfly33, I’ll jump on the train and conform to your subjective standards of communication. You can’t yet make sense out of words that represent metaphysical concepts, so ill stop using them to help you not be confused. It’s almost as though these words are just more of the same “Oneness” though… BUT! They can’t be if they allude to dualistic states of identity awareness, can they? Hello? Anyone? ?? I’ll also be sure to throw out the rest of that useless language that doesn’t mean anything anyways! Let’s go team. *2 billions years of silence pass* Well I got bored and I’m back. Guess I must not be God realized enough to make sense of removing simple communication tools from my lexicon in order to conform to a random person on the internets religious doctrine. And hey, while I was away, I learned I Am not I beyond boredom, either. Thanks for thinking to enforce this standard of replacing words representing illusory insight with more words representing illusory insight. It seems very in line with the depth of your message. And I am really glad we had this talk.

The essence of this video is the most pertinent message I've found here. Pure, unfiltered, self discovery through self exploration. I wish this level of awe was commonplace in the modern experience. I can feel the gravity of his gratitude and I'm just watching a video. And a reminder that it exists.

Nothing here to really argue with. Lots of conjecture and projection. Circling truth. Being truth. What you've implied is the whole of it. Regardless if the words reach. So, who is left to convince? And if they haven't convinced themselves, why are you so content to be the one, @Razard86? What happened to consent? I've got two hands on the steering wheel and I certainly don't welcome a third. But if you want, you can drive for a while and I'll play the passenger.

How many awakened peoples have you met which hold views?

I think he found someone’s missing sock with his third eye. Definitely God. What else could it be?

I think the better question is, which body?

Aha! Fact. (Right, because to cling to distinctions and identities is to lose sight of the whole. Or, become beyond what can be defined as beyond. “Right, making claims that are attributable to a subjective self is creating and projecting the ME. And the ME only exists when it has a conscious host to attribute itself to. The claims made from both are interchangeable and only a matter of perception separates them. Self awareness happens. And sometimes not. Either-way, it’s all part of the story. Right, these are concepts and ideas - systems. Right, because often the sharp side is felt first. Thanks! Even trickier than what’s been already imagined. ? Right, because becoming that guy, whereby creating and projecting the ME, Creates dualism in awareness and projects all manner of confusion. It happens, but it doesn’t need to. Creating a self to ruminate on in the mind is a tricky trick. We don’t see it, even though it’s created. And sometimes becomes our avatar as we cut through life’s challenges. How do you stop creating it? How do you destroy it? - Go eat some ice cream. Chill and drive slow homie.

I do notice that sometimes. Nice metaphor.

It does seem like that sometimes. Nice metaphor.

I'm very stuck with some view points shared here and in many spiritual traditions. There's too many questions and curiosities to really pen down here, so I'm just going to leave a few bullet points and my brief snapshot of them. Please correct me or point me toward information that can clear the confusion. I hope no one takes offense to how I positioned these. It's a rough run down of the internal argument I have which rejects the notions as presented. I always end up converting it down to grandiose and extravagant views on the very mundane experience of reality most have. I just see all of this as unsubstantiated belief fueled by the complexity of creativity and altered states. Regardless, I know I am endless and "it" by the very functions of the system it has presented me. I have experienced deep realizations that I am God and the nature of how this game works... But when I came back... It was yet again just another metaphor my mind cooked up and tried to aggrandize itself... For what simply is. And I am. 1. Sovereignty - You're it and there is nothing outside of your creative, self centered awareness. All external objects are a projection of mind (incomprehensible & infinite creative potential). Sure, nothing can be experienced outside of my consciousness and I witness myself doing this every night when I dream up fresh worlds. But the subjective nature of reality seems like a purposeful design. To assume we're all just immaterial brain cells of yours is pretty legit. Extensions of self, projected out here, indepentently. But in honesty, all you've done is describe the unified nature of reality, as it is, and then used your experiential filter to limit it to what you are perceiving. Then confused the fact that only you can experience through you with you being the source of it all. It's entirely subjective. Aaand circular. 2. Source vs Creator - I created this vs it always is/was vs I was created as an aspect of this and now I'm free to experience it. I can't imagine getting away from being God and also being a unique representation of God - but even though me and Dad are of the same One (don't confuse this as just a number)... I don't go around to the other kiddos telling them I'm responsible for Dad's work. Instead I express gratitude for the mystery and opportunity. But I do tread extremely carefully when accepting ideas and I don't refute the potential for me to have created all you see and experience - me, the one writing these words. I dream up new realities every night... And all of their inhabitants. I know it's nothing to me to create. 3. Observation vs Engagement - You're not the doer, you're observing the doing. This is a very biologically explainable phenomenon. Are we confusing meta-mechanics and whereby limiting our view to this or that? Why? What convinced you to do so? 4. Self, No Self - Bullshit conjecture on the nature of identity. This is the most pointless, circular aspect I have encountered. I'll have a monk on stage explaining how nothing is real, no one exists, there is no self, there is only experience... Alright, who are you talking to then? If I'm really an aspect of you, don't you think it's a little pretentious to supersede my experience with your intuition? Controlling parent? Pompous idea generator? STUCK. (However, once released from the need to identify as this or that, this one makes alot more sense. It's only when someone articulates it that my gears jam.) I just see self as an intangible, meta-physical idea that is the product of subjectively experienced consciousness. Not "real", but Real. 5. Self, Other - There exists nothing outside of consciousness, there is no other, it's all you (God) - where and why did the term "other" even get coined? And (who are you talking to and trying to teach given this truth? Wouldn't you rather end the futility and go smell the flowers instead of herding your projected variants? ) 6. It's all an illusion/dream - Everything you see is a product of mind / awareness / stimuli . Even dreams. There's no difference between the "it's real" and "it's not real" arguments aside from semantic ramblings of they and them. If you just articulated it, it's real just as real as the imagination produced "unreal". Tangible through mind. Just like all of reality. (see point 1) That's it for now. We're all somewhere along out path... Have mercy And when I use I/me/we/they whatever, it isn't totally the right word to use. I just use that because it's common practice for expressing subjective experience and identity. Disclaimer: I have held these views at one point or another. Then I always fall back into skepticism. Eventually I got to the "believe nothing" ground"... Now I can't tell if I'm just neurotic or right for doing so.

I see God is everything already… There is no separation. I mentioned that several times. Within infinite is also infinite variability, so maybe it just didn’t come across clearly to you. I just don’t agree with the pseudo-explanations so many take as the truth. They’re all inherently limited, hypocritical, filtered and missing the mark. Was very curious if anyone had anything to say that might intellectually fit and pull me from my arrogance. Where I’m at - explanations always fall short and confuse others. Experience is direct, undisputed… But I still love to talk and read about it. Even though it’s futile. Really, I should just delete the post before God cuts me down even more. I don’t need your validation - I want your responses to my questions. I just want your data.

Yeah I agree. But isn’t dualism just an aspect of the all containing non-dualism? It’s inherently all inclusive. When and why did you begin holding this view? “There is no interaction going on here” It doesn’t make any sense. It’s probably one of the most abstract and useless things to say about experience. Semantically attempting to invalidate the potentiality of God. Limiting your own life to the words you’ve heard others say about it. Confirmation bias. Regardless of its truth, you’re here. Now. You were born by a mother, just like the rest. That’s part of your narrative in this dream. Your imagination does not supersede experience. This iteration of the dream and all others operate the same way (infinitely variable). And are one. The reality of you is the experience of you. Even if you’re just an intangible illusion. Even if you’re experiencing the entirety of creation or subjective human life contained within. When I say “you” im talking about both the subjective and the entirety - all “self” contained. Which is also included in non-duality. All inclusive - there is no “not”. It’s all both real and unreal. But for now, there’s nothing to grasp besides the phone or keyboard you’re using to type up responses. Experientially, yea, im with you. But intellectually / conversationally, no.

Thanks for the insight. I guess given your context, to relate it, it’s like being lucid in a dream and arguing with the characters appearing in your visual field. Trying to convince the of something or another… As though it means something to do so. When in reality, they’re… Not what I thought? And about your last statement about your experience being absolute… How could it be anything else? Unless you were able to plug in and see through these eyes. But is there such a thing? ? Which you can’t. Only yours. But this is again, simplifying it to mundane reality.

I’m with you on all of that. But if I’m omniscient, “this”, why did I need you to reply with this response? Or is soliciting this response, from the infinite of possible outcomes, and having a subjective “‘me/you/that” arise in response an example of such? It’s terribly hard to articulate. Everything is my Mind. Yet I give respect to the subjective and unique nature of its aspects by default and in Love of your personally grown story. Whether or not you see it, I see you as a story with unique identity. Also, if you see anything that appears to be subjective, personal, dual, ignore that mental response. It’s not what I mean. It’s not how things work. Even within a singular, non-tangible process, the choice is yours to see uniqueness or the whole. This interaction, what is it an example of? What are you talking to? Is this not inherently a dualistic view? As though there was something/someone else to respond to?

Just a thought to share on the nature of growing your expertise and understanding of topics in your field. Personal experience. I'm a career analyst and have worked in Military Intelligence, Finance, Operations, Sales and Market Research/Competitive intelligence. My methods might not fit you, but perhaps you'll think of something similar that helps by seeing my approach. This method helps me get to know advanced topics quickly - the nature of consulting in big tech required rapid learning of new and emerging topics/technologies. I'm currently moving from account management in competitive intelligence position into a role with FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) building their internal reporting and forecasting strategy and driving business decisions through customer and financial insight. My knowledge of FP&A is limited to my time in finance... And it's weak. They want my strategic mind... So I'm bolstering the weak spots I found in my ability to deliver on their goals and FP&A specific aspects of the work. I've been studying the FP&A topic with this method for around a week now and my comprehension and confidence on the topic has sky-rocketed. I can speak the language confidently and present real, valuable ideas based on what I have learned. I've successfully used this method in many areas and on many topics: marketing strategy, marketing infrastructure, competitive intelligence best practices, specific technologies like AI/ML, IoT, Chatbots, All things cloud, User experience, etc. SO... The method. One of my favorite methods for gaining *comprehension* of the topics I'm dealing with rather than just *knowledge* of them is to rewrite books or web articles in my own words as I go through the sections. This method: - Enhances comprehension - Requires dismantling complex topics so you can speak to them directly - Drives further research on weak spots in your understanding - Systematizes the learning approach to make the topic more logically clear and provides the ability to see it from the 30k view. - Is an easy set of training wheels to follow when learning a new topic Here's the method: 1. Pick a small book or web article on the topic you're wanting to understand 2. Create an outline of the books chapters and key sections or topics you hope to understand by then end of the exercise 3. As you read each chapter, visit your outline and attempt to paraphrase or summarize the key points of that section 4. Revisit the text and do additional research if you read what you wrote and don't find it sufficient 5. Recycle, repeat. Simply a learning methodology and tool for forcing a deeper understanding and developing the self discipline to actually do it 6. Bonus - build a mind map of how the function operates in the organization and with the technology infrastructure or what is more relevant to you If you have any tips for me, I'd love to hear them. Cheers.

“Can’t even imagine” Thats the best way to describe how it hit me. I was so confident and grounded going in… Then my world turned upside down and I had no idea what I was experiencing was possible. That right there shook me to my core. There was no room for grounded thinking and I could not seem to reach the training and experience I had that I’ve used countless times to find balance on a trip. It was gone and I was thrashed. I was a know it all that was humbled by the weight of reality, the unknown and the cyclone of my mind. I woke up. Dead. But not dead. Pure life. That conversation with God… Ugh. (You know what I mean? Or… What that means?) Funny how I find it all very magical and beautiful now, too.

LSD was able to shine a light on some aspects of this experience that DMT, Salvia or shrooms never even approached. However, this was LSD + high concentrate THC near the peak. Going to hell and back is a wonderfully enlightening experience. What I thought I knew fell apart and had become absolutely meaningless. The reality of my nature only heightened my focus on the beauty and importance of living the life I’m living, not the one in books, videos and other minds. Really showed what is personally important and worth my limited time as this unique and amazing avatar. Fear and trembling was experienced. Powerful tool if you want something/someone to really listen. Just be ok with the not feeling ok part. Thanks for the tough lesson, Leo. Worth it.
