Okay, suppose that's true (even though technically it's not, because I exist so I am already absolute). The question is: is the inverse true as well? In other words, if I stopped all of my questioning, would that somehow make me Absolute? The moment we start talking about method, we step into the materialistic scientific territory. My answer is I don't know. I don't think I can define myself, even though I sure seem to be living a human life from within the human body, at least for as long as I'm in this realm. Or maybe the opposite is the case. Maybe in that state you're just confused and delusional that you misjudge everything and overestimate the state you're in. It is commonly known that being high is associated with poor judgment when viewed from the sober state, so again we fall into the bias fallacy here and unfortunately there's no way to know which state is "truer". Yeah but there's no way to confirm this hypothesis that the God-state is an objectively higher state. There's a 50% chance that it's a lower state, if we're to think of it in terms of hierarchy of truth.

Forget this part of the question. It will mislead you. Notice the subtle inference of deserving the good and undeserving the bad. Then ask yourself, why is there pleasure and happiness too? To my knowledge there aren't any existential license agreements or anything of the sorts, so God doesn't owe us anything. That said, why do you think God should be all good? Why the entitlement?

Well, that I am God is a story. So yeah, I can dismiss it like any other story. If you insist. For me, all thoughts are data. No thought is the truth, so I don't really trust any thoughts. Same answer above. Not necessarily a delusion, but perhaps more accurately a story that is highly prone to delusions. In a way, we can think that we are God, but that will require a definition of God, which is something I don't think is possible. Then again, if we think we aren't God, we still face the same problem in the opposite direction because we are denying a thing that we originally admit but without a definition. So, I think it's best to think of the story of God as a story about God, not God itself. Everything is possible. Or to put it another way, there are no known limits to what's possible. "Which state is better?" is a tricky question, because we're always asking it from inside a certain state not from the outside/objectively, so any answers by definition will be biased.

Wha?!

How on earth can anyone dismiss God?! We can dismiss ideas/stories about God, but God itself is not gonna be dismissed. I read the rest of your post, but I don't think it's appropriate to address it now given this major epistemological error.

Profundity is a relative thing. I don't find what you said to be profound at all at this moment in my life. If it is true (and I'm not necessarily disagreeing with that even though I don't agree either), then it's not a major thing. I mean if duality/the sense of self is really the thing that prevents insanity, then insanity is not a problem because without a self there aren't any problems. You call it a trap, I call it data, and it informs my thinking. I see data for what it is. I don't dismiss it, but I don't take it as truth either. What you said here is obvious, but it's another form of data, not truth. It's a story that you keep on telling and seem to be convinced that it is true, which basically mean a belief that you hold dearly. I have entertained that story for a long time then I let it go. It feels much better now.

According to Leo's standards, what you said here is not full awakening. What you said here is basically 2018-2019 Leo, obviously you didn't download the latest updates. In my opinion and experience, the more reasonable/realistic reasons for why you still talk to people are under three categories: Habitual. Pragmatic. Emotional. Regardless of whether you believe others exist or not, all the above factors have a strong effect on you. Solipsism can hinder that effect, but obviously it doesn't remove it completely, which is why you're here talking to us trying to rationalize your beliefs and advocate them as truth. I think Leo is mostly influenced by the pragmatic factor because his business is dependent on him talking to other people.

It's Sunday afternoon here, and I don't see anything

One dip into paradise can make you forget all the suffering, and one dip into hell can make you forget all the blessings.

Obviously you didn't see the solipsism video. I watched parts of it, so I'll tell you that he started out by bringing the definition of solipsism from Wikipedia and then arguing for it. Leo doesn't claim that he's the most awake being because he agrees with the other teachers. Rather, he does that precisely because he disagrees with them and doesn't even think that they actually exist, nor any of us here. Leo thinks solipsism is the absolute truth, and for him that's what all awakening boils down to, hence we are all not really awake. But don't take my word for it. Ask him and see.

This assumes a reality that hinges upon your perception. But maybe there's an objective reality that has nothing to do with your perception. Maybe your perception is simply a distortion of that objective reality into the appearances you seem to experience.

Maybe the answer is found by expanding the definition of reality beyond appearances.

With Leo.

Keep saying that for a few weeks, and Leo will probably dismiss you. Leo denies that basic lesson in principle, but in practice he contradicts his principles, interacts with others, teaches them solipsism, and preaches morality onto them.

No. Ultimately language collapses on itself, but not on reality, because language is a metaphor for reality, it is couched inside of reality, not the other way around. Maybe your finite mind can't manifest a chair. My finite mind is the infinite Godhead itself. It is the source of reality. You are my creation. Do you see how inconsistent you're being? You're playing jump the rope with non-duality without realizing. One moment everything is one and the same without any real distinctions. Then the very next moment there are distinctions, and the distinctions are real.

Imagination is not reality. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a unique word for each one of them. Imagine a chair and then go actually and try to sit on it, you will fall and hurt your butt.

How dare you?!

I don't think Leo is clashing on the communication. He repeatedly claims that he's the most/only awake human ever, which communicates to me that he's a referring to normie solipsism regardless of mystical insight. In other words, it's not really a matter of communication, but rather a matter of philosophy and conviction. Leo is a subjective idealist (solipsist), while most other teachers are objective idealists (non-dualists). Leo thinks that the more solipsistic you become, the higher your level of awakening gets. Which is why he thinks he's alone and that that's identical to being the most awake person, because there's only him to begin with. I'm not saying I fully agree with the other teachers either, but at least they're more consistent with their teachings. They claim other people exist (regardless of the ontological metaphysics), and they live their lives based on that conviction. Leo claims other people don't exist, and yet he contradicts himself in practice and keeps interacting with others as if they're real and everything, and most ironically he tries to teach them solipsism. If that doesn't seem like delusion, I don't know what does.

Is there a possibility that you may got brainwashed instead of awake?

What will happen to you after you die?

Normie solipsism is a fancy term for the original and only form of solipsism, it was coined by non other than our beloved mod @Carl-Richardin a desperate attempt at rationalizing the paradigm-lock that this community is going through, thanks to its leader.

Bastards.

How do you know you are not deluded?

My PC got infected with the VYIA blackmail virus, which encrypts files and refers to a link that can decrypt them for about $500. A number of files were lost, but luckily they're not very numerous nor important. I don't use any Anti-Virus software, and I have my reasons for that. They slow my PC down (it's old and low-end to begin with), they interrupt a lot of usual stuff with their false positives, and if you don't keep up with the latest updates they won't catch the virus, so it would be a false negative, and they need activation code and registration which can give me a headache. Besides, I often tend to be careful with the files I let into my PC, so no software is really needed to begin with. I even have the built-in Windows Defender disabled for these reasons. However, this time I downloaded the file, and it seemed suspicious but I curiously let it slide anyway, and I regretted it. Not much was lost, but I had to go through some trouble trying to fix this thing. Besides being logged out of all major sites because of "suspicious behavior" (basically they took my password and searched my social media for money, which I don't have, so jokes on them haha). On the other hand, I appreciate what happened because it's the first time I encounter this virus. I heard about it a lot, but never got it before. I heard devastating stories of completely lost hard drives. However, it wasn't pure luck that I caught on to the virus very early; I always keep the Task Manager running in the background, so that I can monitor all software activities and how much resources they are taking. I saw a bunch of weird files eating up the CPU, RAM, and disk. So I immediately turned off the internet and started killing off the malignant processes one after another, and then going to their root files and deleting them. I think having an HDD instead of a SSD is a good thing and it helped in this case, because SSDs are a lot faster, so the virus would have spread like fire in that case. I also have another Windows installed on a different partition (Windows 7 ), I made it exactly for occasions like this (and others) as a backup system so that I can debug freely from there. Anyway, hard luck for me for the lost files. I searched for recovery methods and tried some, but nothing seems to work. The most important thing is that none of my porn was affected, and that's all that matters haha.
