useless yapping, go bang some girls or smthng

When you operate from within the mind, you are not in the here and now but in time and illusory symbols. Have you ever tried going beyond the mind for extended periods? If you were to live in complete inner and outer silence for a month or so, you would see that it is a gateway to Heaven, where the dream begins to dissolve and the light of God begins to shine through. I'm sure those who haven't tried this believe enlightenment is just this and nothing has to change, but those who tried going beyond the mind know there is more. The mind is such a tricky thing, fooling consciousness into living within it, as though it is the end, and thus perpetuating itself within the notion of this being enlightenment. Going beyond concepts destroys the mind, and the mind doesn't want that, naturally. But this is not something the mind will accept, it will fight against it, yet I will not fight against your minds I will let you guys be in your various perspectives, trying to prove your points endlessly, thus propagating yourselves even further, even if it is propagating yourself through the trying to prove to illusory others that silence is the Truth, like James does, because he's still to afraid to let it all go and truly dissolve into Silence. gg wp

Sure, never said solipsism isn't true, just not the final step of awakening. First, you grasp the nature of reality intellectually, and then you go beyond the intellect.

@James123 Congrats, you get it! I don't think you will receive much agreement on this forum or be able to change minds, but you are indeed one of the few who seem to have escaped the trap of concepts and entered the final stage of awakening. Again, nice work!

Greetings, Thank you for the raw expression, it seems like you are digging down deep and want true answers. Knowing life is a dream does not awaken you. Knowing life is a dream is only the first step. The second step is clearing out your consciousness of every thought, every belief, until your false identity dissolves, together with the dream, and you awaken back to Heaven - a realm of eternal Love and Light. I'd suggest studying A Course in Miracles if you haven't yet - it's a step beyond any other teaching available. Good luck!

Peter Ralston seems very wise. I believe one of the things he talks about is nothingness, the highest Buddhist attainment, which shows you the non-dual, formless nature of Self. I think Frank Yang talks about the same thing. When listening to Peter’s videos he just seems so grounded and clear. I haven’t attended Peter’s workshops nor I have been his apprentice nor have I done his online courses, but from the snippets online and the podcast episodes now available he seems to be the real deal.

Uu nice insight! Just starting to realize something similar I think: it seems like it’s all just happening without a center, yet the happening is mysteriously intelligent and this happening is looking back at itself through the eyes of his chosen “victim” aka you haha. But there’s no you, just it appearing as you, and I think the more the contracted sense of “me” dissolves the more you feel one with the mysterious happening. In the end it’s probably no you feeling one with the universe, just one mysterious happening without any division.

Solipsism is peace. It means there is nothing you need to do or change. Nothing means anything. You never did anything wrong or right. Nothing ever happened. But if you only keep solipsism at the conceptual level, then yes, you will feel unfulfilled. Realizing life is a dream is only the first step to ultimate peace and liberation. The second step is to go beyond concepts to a place of Peace inside and live from that Peace until that Peace dissolves the dream and you enter Mahasamadhi.

Ur watching a movie in a dream and thinking why dream figures suffer. They don’t. Ur dream. People are figments of imagination, nothing more. They dissapear as soon as they leave ur perception. Only one life out of the billions of seeming ones has to be good. And it is.

Let me know what you guys think about this; Since life is a dream, all we are seeing “outside” is what we are projecting from inside. In this view, isn’t it optimal to think about everyone and everything as perfect and divine, so that this type of a thought system gets projected outside? Also, thoughts obviously create feelings, so why not think only the highest about everything and everyone so you would feel happy? Basically, you would walk around reminding yourself you are dreaming and thinking about everything and everyone as divine. Then, you would feel extremely happy and that happiness and those thoughts would be expressed in your life, which is merely your dream, in various forms. Ultimately, when you master this thought system, you would feel divine yourself and this dream would be just a very magical ride. Isn’t this the best way to go about things now that we know we are dreaming and our minds are very powerful? This type of a path also wouldnt require any sacrifice, like Brachmacharya or whatever. Why would you need to sacrifice anything except your thoughts of litleness and judgement to awaken? Thinking you have to sacrifice pleasures of the world to awaken would only make the world real and more powerful than your mind, thus working against you in your awakening. It’s like taking the ultimate responsibility for what you see because what you see is only there becayse of your thought system, since it’s literally only you dreaming all of this world. So, a sick world is only showing you your sick mind. Instead, we have to train ourselves to think only divine and perfect thoughts about everything Nd everyone, and that is what we will feel about ourselves and what will happen in our experience. Let me know P.S. I learned about this “spiritual practice” from the book the Dissapearance of the Universe by Gary Renard a few years ago and was contemplating, testing it out ever since.

The realization of Absolute Solipsism restores the state of Heaven in your mind. These quotes are for the mature awakened mind. Suggested accompanying music: All quotes are from A Course in Miracles: _________________________________________________________________ Nothing at all has happened but that you have put yourself to sleep, and dreamed a dream in which you were an alien to yourself, and but a part of someone else’s dream. ²The miracle does not awaken you, but merely shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. ⁴Do you wish for dreams of healing, or for dreams of death? ⁵A dream is like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted shown to you. _________________________________________________________________ The Garden of Eden, or the pre-separation condition, was a state of mind in which nothing was needed. ²When Adam listened to the “lies of the serpent,” all he heard was untruth. ³You do not have to continue to believe what is not true unless you choose to do so. ⁴All that can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye because it is merely a misperception. ⁵What is seen in dreams seems to be very real. ⁶Yet the Bible says that a deep sleep fell upon Adam, and nowhere is there reference to his waking up. _________________________________________________________________ You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. ²Is it your decision to do so? ³You recognize from your own experience that what you see in dreams you think is real while you are asleep. ⁴Yet the instant you waken you realize that everything that seemed to happen in the dream did not happen at all. ⁵You do not think this strange, even though all the laws of what you awaken to were violated while you slept. ⁶Is it not possible that you merely shifted from one dream to another, without really waking? _________________________________________________________________ Does not a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? ²Yet think what this world is. ³It is clearly not the world you saw before you slept. ⁴Rather it is a distortion of the world, planned solely around what you would have preferred. _________________________________________________________________ Dreams show you that you have the power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you want it you see it. ²And while you see it you do not doubt that it is real. ³Yet here is a world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside. ⁴You do not respond to it as though you made it, nor do you realize that the emotions the dream produces must come from you. ⁵It is the figures in the dream and what they do that seem to make the dream. ⁶You do not realize that you are making them act out for you, for if you did the guilt would not be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be gone. ⁷In dreams these features are not obscure. ⁸You seem to waken, and the dream is gone. ⁹Yet what you fail to recognize is that what caused the dream has not gone with it. ¹⁰Your wish to make another world that is not real remains with you. ¹¹And what you seem to waken to is but another form of this same world you see in dreams. ¹²All your time is spent in dreaming. ¹³Your sleeping and your waking dreams have different forms, and that is all. ¹⁴Their content is the same. ¹⁵They are your protest against reality, and your fixed and insane idea that you can change it. _________________________________________________________________ No one can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. ²He becomes a part of someone else’s dream. ³He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did not make. ⁴Helpless he stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished by a separate mind. ⁵Careless indeed of him this mind must be, as thoughtless of his peace and happiness as is the weather or the time of day. ⁶It loves him not, but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its dream. ⁷So little is his worth that he is but a dancing shadow, leaping up and down according to a senseless plot conceived within the idle dreaming of the world. This is the only picture you can see; the one alternative that you can choose, the other possibility of cause, if you be not the dreamer of your dreams. ²And this is what you choose if you deny the cause of suffering is in your mind. ³Be glad indeed it is, for thus are you the one decider of your destiny in time. ⁴The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of life. You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. ²No other cause it has, nor ever will. ³Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God’s Son, and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. ⁴So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him; a gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend. ⁵God willed he waken gently and with joy, and gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. ²It is not difficult to change a dream when once the dreamer has been recognized. ³Rest in the Holy Spirit, and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. ⁴He brings forgiving dreams, in which the choice is not who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. ⁵In the dreams He brings there is no murder and there is no death. ⁶The dream of guilt is fading from your sight, although your eyes are closed. ⁷A smile has come to lighten up your sleeping face. ⁸The sleep is peaceful now, for these are happy dreams. _________________________________________________________________ Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer, who perceives the dream as separate from himself and done to him. ²Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. ³In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. ⁴Together, we can laugh them both away, and understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. ⁵It is a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time. 7. A timelessness in which is time made real; a part of God that can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause. ²The world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. ³Except that now you think that what you did is being done to you. ⁴The guilt for what you thought is being placed outside yourself, and on a guilty world that dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. ⁵It brings its vengeance, not your own. ⁶It keeps you narrowly confined within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body does within its dream. ⁷You have no power to make the body stop its evil deeds because you did not make it, and cannot control its actions nor its purpose nor its fate. 8. The world but demonstrates an ancient truth; you will believe that others do to you exactly what you think you did to them. ²But once deluded into blaming them you will not see the cause of what they do, because you want the guilt to rest on them. ³How childish is the petulant device to keep your innocence by pushing guilt outside yourself, but never letting go! ⁴It is not easy to perceive the jest when all around you do your eyes behold its heavy consequences, but without their trifling cause. The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. ²No matter what the form of the attack, this still is true. ³Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth. ⁴Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. ⁵For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew that you were dreaming. ⁶Let them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes. ²The Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain. ³Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very simple truth. ⁴For this one answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. ⁵The form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the single cause of all of them, no matter what their form. ⁶And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple statement, “I have done this thing, and it is this I would undo.” ⁴Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. How differently will you perceive the world when this is recognized! _________________________________________________________________ Could it be some dreams are kept, and others wakened from? ⁵The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. ⁶Thus it is the miracle does not select some dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. ⁷You cannot dream some dreams and wake from some, for you are either sleeping or awake. ⁸And dreaming goes with only one of these. (ACIM, T-29.IV.1:4-8) _________________________________________________________________ You choose your dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as if it had been given you. ⁵Your idols do what you would have them do, and have the power you ascribe to them. ⁶And you pursue them vainly in the dream, because you want their power as your own. Yet where are dreams but in a mind asleep? ²And can a dream succeed in making real the picture it projects outside itself? ³Save time, my brother; learn what time is for. ⁴And speed the end of idols in a world made sad and sick by seeing idols there. ⁵Your holy mind is altar unto God, and where He is no idols can abide. ⁶The fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. ⁷It is not the fear of loss of your reality. ⁸But you have made of your reality an idol, which you must protect against the light of truth. ⁹And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. ¹⁰Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer death. It is not so. ²Salvation seeks to prove there is no death, and only life exists. _________________________________________________________________ There can be no salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. ²For idols must be part of it, to save you from what you believe you have accomplished, and have done to make you sinful and put out the light within you. ³Little child, the light is there. ⁴You do but dream, and idols are the toys you dream you play with. ⁵Who has need of toys but children? ⁶They pretend they rule the world, and give their toys the power to move about, and talk and think and feel and speak for them. ⁷Yet everything their toys appear to do is in the minds of those who play with them. ⁸But they are eager to forget that they made up the dream in which their toys are real, nor recognize their wishes are their own. Nightmares are childish dreams. ²The toys have turned against the child who thought he made them real. ³Yet can a dream attack? ⁴Or can a toy grow large and dangerous and fierce and wild? ⁵This does the child believe, because he fears his thoughts and gives them to the toys instead. ⁶And their reality becomes his own, because they seem to save him from his thoughts. ⁷Yet do they keep his thoughts alive and real, but seen outside himself, where they can turn against him for his treachery to them. ⁸He thinks he needs them that he may escape his thoughts, because he thinks the thoughts are real. ⁹And so he makes of anything a toy, to make his world remain outside himself, and play that he is but a part of it. There is a time when childhood should be passed and gone forever. ²Seek not to retain the toys of children. ³Put them all away, for you have need of them no more. _________________________________________________________________ Forgiving dreams have little need to last. ²They are not made to separate the mind from what it thinks. ³They do not seek to prove the dream is being dreamed by someone else. ⁴And in these dreams a melody is heard that everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time began. ⁵Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the song of Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness that never left the altar that abides forever deep within the Son of God. ⁶And when he hears this song again, he knows he never heard it not. ⁷And where is time, when dreams of judgment have been put away? _________________________________________________________________ The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. ²The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. ³His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. ⁴They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. ⁵And thus they cure for all eternity.

The path of meditation is such an arduous one. I’ve meditated for probably around 10,000 hours now and I’m still not enlightened. Was it very helpful and helped me to almost master my mind? Sure. Did I have enlightenment experiences during month-long solo meditation retreats? Sure. Would it require much much more to actually reach enlightenment this way? Obviously yes and I’m not too excited about that. It’s soo sloooow and difficult. Not sure about Kriya Yoga, haven’t practiced it enough.

Good question. Maybe there are many possibilities in how AI plays out, many scripts or timelines already available, and the one that plays out depends on you, since it’s your dream. The way it plays out will depend on the thought system you foster. If your internal world is murderous then AI will have a destructive intent on the world, but if your internal world is kind and loving, then that’s how AI will appear in your timeline. That’s how quantum mechanics work don’t they? All possibilities are there and you will experience the one you allign with.

Haha, it’s a character in league of legends, I know that much 😄

@Mellowmarsh Haha exactly! That‘s why Leo’s “forbidden” solipsism video is my favourite! 😈

🙏 somehow forgot to include my favourite: ³What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? ⁴What if you really understood you made it up? ⁵What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? ⁶Could you have faith in what you see, if you accepted this? ⁷And would you see it?

A thing I noticed: When I believe that I am the only dreamer, my nighttime dreams are often gentle and lovely. When I believe that there are many dreamers, that this is a collective dream, then immediately I begin to dream nightmares of shame, murder, etc. interesting, huh?

"Basically almost no sense of REALITY." You're confusing reality with illusion. When the ego dissolves, what you lose is illusion - time, stories, even perception of boundaries and separate things. And what you get is reality - a timeless, formless domain with peace and bliss. No more fear, no more worries, finally back home in Reality. This is causing you great confusion. You think you are losing reality when you are losing illusion. If you fix this confusion, you should be fine.

Love this question, been thinking about this today as well. Perhaps there is no karma, just images reflecting back to you who you are as a conceptual self? And when you transcend your conceptual identity, which includes your life story, who you believe you are, your fantasies for the future, your resentments of the past, and so forth, then the images that were projected by the conceptual mind fade away into the nothingness from which they came, and you don't have to see them anymore or "reincarnate."

Interesting, he mentions an awareness of a Trinity, like described in Christianity or ACIM: "I was aware of a strong sense of the three of us – a Divine Being beyond all description, the brilliant orb (a translator or interpreter, perhaps?) and my conscious awareness, which by now was joined with all of consciousness throughout the multiverse, transcending a limited personal consciousness." Divine Being - God the Father. Brilliant orb - the interpreter - the Holy Spirit. "Being the Communication Link between God and His separated Sons, the Holy Spirit interprets everything you have made in the light of what He is." (ACIM, T-8.VII.2:2) Conscious awareness - Son of God.

I'm noticing more and more that my relationships reflect who I am. If I feel the urge to judge those around me for being inconsiderate and selfish, then when I look back, I notice that I am inconsiderate and selfish. Ups. It's easy to judge and see evil in the world, but perhaps we merely see our own self projected outside of us. Then, we blame others to reduce the guilt we feel unconsciously for being something that we hate. "Your brother is the mirror in which you see the image of yourself as long as perception lasts." - A Course in Miracles.

Not saying it’s a path for everyone. In fact, it’s probably not fit for most spiritual students, at least not now. Many people I know, myself included, found A Course in Miracles to be unparalleled in it’s spiritual depth. It’s also unique in how it combines psychology and metaphysics to create a path for awakening. ACIM is also written in a Shakespearean style, which is so beautiful to read. Yet, Jesus himself says in the Course: “It (ACIM) emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end. (ACIM, Preface.2:5-7) I’m also bias, since various symbols of Jesus and Saint Mary have been following me all throughout my life.

@samijiben haha, I actually felt like your post is coming from an honest place. Wanting to maintain that “psychedelic” state is just desiring to be back home with God, we just need to find a way to get there, whatever our path is. @Salvijus thanks! 🤝🍻

I was in the exact same place - I wanted it more than anything and did everything I could to maintain that state; unfortunately, as you can see from all the trip reports, both of forum members and of Leo - psychedelics never stay for long no matter what you do or what level you achieve on them. They push aside the reason why you are not enlightened for a few hours, show you what God looks like, and then you're back to the same place you came from. So how? I'm studying ACIM (A Course in Miracles) because it's quite obvious that this book contains the highest metaphysical teachings, and hopefully, if I master it throughout my lifetime, they will take me to God. But yeah, no magic pill, unfortunately. Psychedelics, especially the way Leo teaches to use them, are very dangerous bdw. You trick yourself into believing you are improving, but you always stay in the same place, and even worse, now you might even think you are a God, and that makes you such an arrogant and annoying little asshole. God-realization is the biggest scam, haha; you are not God but a child of God, which is a completely different identity.
