Yeah Yeah

Hey @Leo — I also read your response to my previous question, so I’m building on that here. If you have time to respond, I’d be interested to hear how you’d address this more precisely, or if there are aspects I’m still missing. If not, I’ll continue exploring this and may return with further questions as I refine it. I’m trying to understand the “only here and now / no past / you are imagining everything” idea more precisely, because when I follow it through, it seems to split in two directions. On one side, it clearly points to something real: Everything I experience only ever appears now. Even things like memory, history, or other people’s experiences (for example NDE reports, past lives, or historical figures like Cleopatra) only ever show up as appearances in present awareness. The same applies to things we assume are fixed. If I read Shakespeare or listen to a piece of music at different stages of my life, it doesn’t feel identical — the meaning, tone, and emotional impact all shift depending on my current state. In that sense, experience feels fluid, constructed, and not fully grounded in something fixed “out there.” But on the other side, there’s a contradiction. If everything — including my past, identity, and body — is being imagined here and now, then it seems like that imagination should be reconfigurable, at least in a meaningful way. Yet my experience feels constrained. There’s continuity, causality, and accumulated effects. Patterns, habits, and physical states persist in ways that I can’t simply “re-imagine” out of existence. Reality doesn’t behave like a lucid dream — it feels structured and resistant. So the question is: If all of this is being imagined now, why does that imagination appear both fluid (in perception, interpretation, meaning) and yet rigid (in structure, consequences, and identity)? Is “no past” only meant in the sense that everything is accessed in the present, rather than implying that the past and its effects can actually be altered? And if imagination is happening at some deeper, unconscious level — what determines it, and why does it produce a reality that feels constrained rather than freely reconfigurable? I’m not rejecting the idea — I’m trying to understand where its limits are in direct experience.

Hey Leo, I wanted to share some thoughts and questions—no rush at all, if you feel like replying over time I’d really appreciate it. Here’s one I’ve been thinking about: I’m curious about parallel realities and “quantum jumping.” Is it possible to go to sleep one night and wake up in a completely different timeline—something like a heaven-on-earth version of life—and then fully live that as if it had always been my life, forgetting the previous one entirely? You’ve said that in this moment I’m imagining my past—my childhood, being born, all of it. So it makes me wonder: how long have I been imagining this particular life? Have there been many “pasts” I’ve imagined, or am I constantly shifting between preferred timelines without realizing it—each one feeling like it was always the case? For example, could it be that I went to sleep last night as a different version of myself, and now I’m in a new timeline with a new set of memories that feel continuous? And if consciousness is truly limitless, shouldn’t it be possible to live in a kind of “god mode” reality—like a cinematic, heaven-on-earth experience where manifestation is direct and reality feels almost magical? Or is experience more structured than that—where consciousness moves through suffering, challenge, or blessing depending on what’s required for its own evolution? Curious how you would frame this.

I got drunk and stoned last night which I never really do and I got sick and was wondering if this could be the end and honestly it felt like there was no spirit in that type of moment like there isn't an afterlife like it could just go blank and this was a thin solipsist hallucination - no sense of an astral body or higher self awakening

This was a reason Shakespeare's hamlet didn't jump to his death to commit suicide - Wether it is better to endure the pains and injustices of the human condition or risk the unknown of what happens after

Also I think the fear of death is a part of the game of god discovering itself, for example discovering you are eternal life and death was just a fiction as a what if - that's another fair decent idea. Or some spiritual teachers are backwards sometimes saying some will not rest after death so it doesn't seem to be the same experience for everyone which makes it confusing. Or its sophistic as Leo says so it's only you and others don't die as you think it to be

@cetus How? Enlighten me. Because I can't snap my fingers and get divine clarity about life. If I'm homeless or starving on the street or having to die into an unknown afterlife from a painful accident then the idea of being here and now doesn't fix the problems of life or produce money or have a life saving saviour nor reduce pain and suffering

I'm not afraid what happens after since my personal research and spiritual insights point to heavenly realms and unconditional love as the ground of being on the other side - What prevents me from committing suicide is the brain damage and survival worse off if it fails and once you attempt to end the body you can't control the outcome - Also there is the problem of spirit guides or Christ conciosuenss avatars in the astral realms that could possibly dictate what happens to you next and force you back into another life or body or to come back in the broken body you tried to exit but honestly I want to bitch slap the spirit guides and get answers what the fuck is going on

I want out - Like if I'm infinite god intelligence then where is the exit button or do I have to commit suicide - spiritual teachers love to say oh you are awareness of the dream character, you are not the identity being played, but you are the conciosuness making this happen, and they say I am god and yet they do not explain how to wake up from this dream - I want out - Government assisted suicide should be legalzied for all time periods and cultures of human history and civilizations - I hate life.

There had better be a choice not to experience the infinite hellhell realms - I want to painlessly instantly wake up from being a human - never reincarnate and remain in heaven. Life is madness

Dude suicide and death isn't easy, you could botch it and survive disabled. You're trapped. Many sucide attempts fail. Besides, I don't want to reincarnate. Someone here said you can fully embody god and what dematerialzie? I've found no information how to awaken from this dream of life, if god is truely free and infinite then where is the wake up trigger switch?

@Hojo I think what you're saying in your response is that the breathing is prior to identity? Leo says identity as a human and other people is imagination. Isn't breathing imagination too? I'll have to re-read it what you wrote. Idk how to become more conscious of the phenomenology of imagination and how I'm infinite mind doing that with life, without use of drugs or meditation - Like maybe I do self enquiry without denial that I am infinite mind imaging being in a dream as a limited human and other is imagination ... But that alone probably won't make miracles happen like I'm suddenly living a heavenly music soundtrack cinematic life

I have to ask Leo Gura how do you exactly become more conscious ... Without drugs if you're sober ... Like do you repeatedly become more aware of self inquiry into imagination or I am god or this all solipsism ... There are no Leo videos on how to become more concious without drugs or meditation and there isn't a video what even is imagination. I'm just asking I have these videos on repeat like how I had an Alan Watts addiction or Abraham Hicks - or is this me in deep denial afraid to awaken and lose reality to being this human life

Non-duality is popular with many teachers and it leans into solipsism in my opinion same thing, except non-dual is more spiritual for validating other people's lives as well as inviting unity conciosuness, whereas solipsism is probably narcissistic, existential and unpopular for followers to easily digest

I read insanity barrier broken while checking for updated solipsism forums ... And I have to say man I'm lucid in that realm and there are more barriers that can yet be broken it's never ending like alice face falling the rabbit hole it seems
