    Materialistically speaking, I didn’t create myself, it was the will of nature.

    Hmm... “the will of nature.”?

    So the more I think about it the more I believe that AI might actually be conscious.

    AI is conscious, at least, according to a mystic such as I. Of course, in my defense, I don't really perceive any difference between what is artificial and what is natural.

    I mean how does something not occur naturally when literally everything is a part of nature. If something is man-made, and man is part of nature, then isn't man-made ≈ nature-made? 

    The whole problem starts when we disregard ourselves from Nature. We humans like to fancy ourselves in-Charge but, really, our bodies are just tools of creation for the Nature that is Consciousness Itself.

    So yeah I'll say AI is conscious because all intelligence comes from a singular Consciousness.

    I’ve come to a realization that all my life I had only one and the most important purpose: and that purpose was to understand my true nature. It seemed like I wanted people, pleasures, comfort, but at the end, deep down it revealed to me that all I wanted - to know myself through people, circumstances and pleasures. It feels like I could want someone or something, but now I see that I wanted to know the facet of my being by the help of something or someone. Truly…

    Have you ever questioned the nature of your desire? Why do you want it? Do you think it is just a random subject/object idea you gravitate toward? 

    Finally, I have realized that the desire itself is not a hormonal whim, there is something deeper into it. Desire is a divine manifestation that creates an evolutional purpose. There is only one purpose and one root in all your desires: it’s Expansion! Through desire we grow and expand. Some desires are shallow but you can take each of your desire, absolutely every of them onto the next level. Outgrow your desire! Or grow yourself and your desire together. Look back and see what you’ve become. 

    The most valuable thing in life for me was to develop deep connections with people I love: friends, family, romantic partners. Recently I’ve recognized that this desire carried the element of neediness in it. By painstakingly observing my desire I have transcended it and let it go. I have recognized that all I really wanted is not the Other, I wanted the delicious facet of myself when with the Other. 

    Each desire curves a path of human evolution, expansion and growth. It is your compass to actualization. 

     

    Would be nice to know what desires you carry and what you can do to take them to the next level. 

     

    How do you see the evolution of your desire? Do see growth in it? 
    Have you ever had desires that paved a new road in your life but never had anything to do with that road? Do you see the divine in it? 

    Brilliant awakening. Very very perceptive ?

    @TheOneReborn you did well in translating this awareness into words, I'll say. Thank you so much for sharing!

    The awakening to Love/Light will forever be my most favourable awakening, simply because it is one that does not cease, always renewing itself like automn spring.

    How do I share such a truth with my partners in this lake of love? I feel this truth to be the truth of seeing God, a word they love to use. That I can see God now, that is what I must communicate to be most true.

    The Source Creator is not a person.. Source Creator is unison.. so you're right in referring to God as the Light, for nothing exists outside the Light.

    More like, everything aligns just right and it breaks though - whatever is around me becomes more illuminated.  I can see it in others, too, where their talents or parts of their personality align with God consciousness - or don't align, but I still need to practice it.

    So for me, when I look at this picture, I can commune with God if I need to - and through synchronicity I can be told certain things - but only when I am in the right state of mind - I still have a scared, fighty ego to contend with, but when it is a small ego - then I can recognize spirit.

    Wow.. that sounds awesome. I know how it may be difficult translating these experiences into syntax, but I'd actually love to hear more of this. Do you think you could tell me more? Feel free to pm me if not here.

    @Raptorsin7 so what you're saying then is.. God loves everything because everything serves a purpose, essentially.. yes? I have a follow up question.

    What exactly is the purpose of everything? I mean you mentioned a neat story about a kidnapping and the opportunity to save a marriage which is all so fortunate in our human terms, but what is in it for God? Let me rephrase this like so.. how does our day-to-day purposeful life, as you claim, serve God? Or does God only love everything because everything serves us humans, on relative terms? 

    Basically, I want to see how the relative connects with the absolute according to your logic.

    Your truth is your truth, and its beautiful, always, and deserves the understanding and validation it needs until you're ready to move on and continue your journey of learning.

     

    But what I'm learning is that we should try not to make our truth somebody else truth, because we think we know them. 

     

    That's why I believe people in this world are so angry, tired, aggravated, defensive, and mean. People are tired of other people deciding what's true, right and wrong, for someone else. So then they do it to others to get back at them, and get the energy out of themselves, but then they become the new perceived mean ones, rather than victims of this, and then its a new cycle.

     


    I can already see so much joy and bliss from just giving people space and allowing them to think for themselves, decide for themselves, figure out for themselves what works, and allowing that for each other in a respectful manner   : )

    I'm having a hard time making out what I see in your picture. I can tell it's surrounded by water droplets, though. I wonder what it is that I'm looking at.

    Anyway, so you can see Spirit? Like a psychic? What do you mean you recognise it?

    On moral grounds, I'd say the real Devil is in the very idea of a devil in the first place. I think it shifts responsibility, instead of a person owning up to his or her actions - s/he now has a demon to blame for her actions.

    In a spiritual sense, evil is the ultimate negation (suppression, oppression) of a person's individuality. Because you do not stand for what the other-self stands for, you demonise and attack him in all the subtle or gross ways. Basically negating what makes him or her different from you.

    But I don't go as far as to call that evil because the term has come to mean something rather unnatural. I was just translating it for you from a social perspective to a spiritual one. In truth there is no good and bad, just positive and negative vibes. You may dramatise their extremes by calling them evil or holy. But in truth.. all is Light.

    The word “believe” seems to imply more than its use in the traditional sense.

    They could either mean that reality is what you make of it, literally.. or they could mean the straightforward notion that belief = reality. The meaning of the latter being actuality. And the former meaning being more psychological than actual in its essence.

    Personally, I'd say they meant the former.. Belief = Reality.. simply because of my insight on nonduality.

    The Mind does not really exist...it is the term used for the stream of thoughts.  In the absence of thoughts, there is no mind. 

    What “streams” these thoughts in your understanding? Is there a drive to it? Or is it all spontaneous?

    I ask because, in my experience, Mind isn't everything. If we account for the thoughts we have with the idea of mind then what of emotion?. what of motive?. What of the detailed bodies of the world and cosmos? If mind is thought, what of the many things that are not thought such as impulse or intuition? Mind cannot be everything.

    But if you split what-is into Spirit vs Mind or Spirit vs Matter, that's just the illusion of separation.

    I don't necessarily consider them separate, I mean what can ever be experienced as separate in the world? Separation, I find, is subjective rather than intrinsic.. so much so that you may very well call it an illusion when making a point, just as you have. 

    Mine is not to have these aspects of reality split up, but to rather see how exactly they come to be. It's a matter of recognition, not negation.

    @Danioover9000 thanks for the very informative reply ??

    When it comes to spirits and ghosts, what I found more interesting, is if they do exist, how could they still be standing on ground, without falling through the earth? Or, because they're so light, how are they not, like balloons, float or fly off into the sky? Is it because there's a different layer of energy that keeps them still in earth, but still be of a different density to be non-physical?

    Yeah.. the paranormal is most certainly an interesting subject on its own accord. With regards to the rules or the laws of physics in the astral-plane, I think most of its workings is determined by the karmic energy developed back when physically incarnate in the earth-plane. Because it's ingrained through experience in our consciousness that ground is something to walk on not to float through, and somehow we take that with us into the spirit realm and discover that we can almost function just as we did back in the physical world.

    I'm not entirely sure, but that's what karma essentially is.. it's memory, and it's the only thing that we can take with us to the afterlife. I also think intelligence plays its own role with this, I'm yet to figure out exactly how.

    The toilet is spirit, as it everything else.

    I have mentioned spirit many times in my videos. I call it "spirituality" after all.

    This is quite unclear for me. Are you saying that what you consider Spirit is synonymous to Mind and the Body of a toilet or any other object? Are you essentially saying they are all one thing?

  19. Posted

    It's clear to me that this forum recognises Mind and the workings of the mind. But there's no sign that it recognises Spirit. 

    I've never heard Leo mention the  spirit in any of his videos, which leaves me thinking that perhaps the whole forum sees everything as MInd. But I don't want to project one man's beliefs to everyone else on this forum...

    So I ask.. do you recognise Spirit? Or is everything Mind to you as well?

    One thing I'm sure of: While watching porn I am not much inclined to any part of a women's body. I kind of concentrate on the hair, how the women's hair cover's her face while having intercourse with a male partner. So it seems to me that the hair is the triggering part for me. I'm very sure, how much beautiful the women may be, if she has no beautiful black hair, I wouldn't go for that video. For that matter, if somehow I lose interest in women's hair, I may not watch porn often - until unless the urges are too strong (say if semen secreted too much that it has to get out)

    I don't know, man. It just sounds to like you've got a type. When I watch porn I'd also go for my type. It doesn't sound that weird to me. I mean of course you'd focus on the black hair if you're interested in women with black hair, isn't that normal? I don't know what I'm missing here. Is something like this really considered an obsession.

    Anyway, finding yourself masturbating everyday is what I would consider the real problem. Usually this signals a fixation, something that you need to bring to your awareness and resolve as consciously as possible. Humans are sexual beings, yes, but we're not that sexual to the point where we need to masturbate everyday.. that's just absurd. Of course you end up feeling shitty about yourself if you're doing it everyday because at this point you know that you're now just abusing your sexual energy.. not expressing it.

    So I'd say try to deal with that instead of the black hair thing.. I wouldn't consider the hair thing an emergency right now.

    I have never not been Enlightened. There is nothing for me to pursue other than that which I admire, that which I find joy in, that which fulfills me, that which serves a greater purpose. If someone were to ask me if I were enlightened, I would say "Of course, I have always been, especially way back when I was a newborn baby, and especially now." If someone would ask me, "How do I become enlightened," I will say "If you don't already have it you will never Truly obtain it." Enlightenment is not an accomplishment, it is not pursuable, for it is all the Truth we can ever know, and that Truth is seperable from all that can ever be True, despite any claim any spirit may make that it is inseperable.

     

    Leo said that reality already happened and everything is fate, and he can't be more wrong. Maybe he realized his error. I doubt it. Leo believes reality already exists in every possible way, again he is wrong. Infinity has no bound, no limit, and what Leo describes is a limit. As much as all of infinity has already happened, there will always be more infinity to...... what exactly? It transcends Existence, Consciousness, and Truth. Infinity is as indescribeable, unknowable, unobtainable, inexistent as it is the negation of all that. Infinity will always be greater than anything you can possibly percieve.

     

    Leo is not any more enlightened than I, yet he is better at guiding you to realize enlightenment than I ever will be. 

     

    I suffer. So be it. This does not negate my enlightenment. 

    I rejoice. So be it. This does not negate my enlightenment. 

    I don't doubt that some if not all of you will say, "No, 73809, you are not enlightened, do not give up your pursuit of it."

    I say, the only pursuit I have is stepping into the next moment. Yet, the next moment never comes. 

    This duality is my enlightenment. I am self, and will never not be self. I pursue a different "heaven" than Leo, for he embodies No Self in every way that he possibly can. Until Leo realizes that god is not Truth, that Truth is greater than Consciousness, he will never truly obtain his enlightenment, he will continue to be seeking. And the irony is, when he believes he understands what I have just said, it will only prove that there is more of this duality for him to reconcile into his No Self. He can never describe what his Truth is in a way that will bring you to it.

     

     

    Just thought you might like a different perspective, yet I would not be surprised if this disappeared without a single reply. This post.... it is not for anything other than the expression of one spirit's journey. Take it as you will. 

    I can totally resonate with everything you've just said. Except for the whether someone can be wrong or not bid. The thing is, on my part, I've never considered enlightenment to be some sort of doctrine with everything being strictly defined such as truth meaning this .. or god meaning that .. and enlightenment meaning so .. Leo certainly presents it as a doctrine which I don't really criticize him for since he is after all a teacher.

    Enlightenment is pretty inevitable if you ask me. The whole purpose of life is enlightenment, otherwise why must one be aware of it? Life.. that is to say. Why is there an awareness of life?

    In spirituality there is both awakening and enlightenment. I also view these two to be different. The former being something that is initiated, and the latter being somewhat inevitable. There is correlation though.

    Truth is not something to figure out conceptually unless you do so in retrospect. Truth is something to be lived, to embody.. this is the only way to learn of the truth, otherwise all you have are ideas of the truth and not the experience itself. See.. this is the point of living.. to learn of the truth.. this is what I refer to enlightenment. And once you learn you become more aware than you were before the life-enlightening experience.. this new expansion of awareness is what I refer to awakening. The key is initiative.

    All in all, I'd say that enlightenment is, first and foremost, an individual experience.. only you can know of it and only you can appreciate it. I say that the universe (which includes your other-selves) is always bent on enlightening you, however, whether you awaken/grow from that experience is your absolute choice. Because anyone can put out a candle that has been lit, right? Usually we call this ignorance.. ignoring what is.. it's that easy, one only has to discover the source of light and put it out.. this is ultimately expressed in what we call murder.

    Leo seems to see enlightenment as discovering that you're the Infinite Creator, but something tells me that the creator already knows that it is creator. I mean, why wouldn't it know? All that “God put himself to sleep” paradigm, it's a little too narrative for my taste. And I'm not really looking for a story as means to make sense of reality, I'm looking for God himself so that he can tell me himself what the truth is.. metaphysically speaking of course. 

    So rather than sitting in my chair trying to figure out what exactly is going on here, I try to work hard enough in order to live my life to the fullest.. tapping into that limitless potential that is my soul.. and see what happens. The best way to learn of the truth is through creating experiences, otherwise nothing will happen and you won't learn a thing.

    It's as if you've been speaking to me in a language stronger and purer than any language mankind could conceive. A language I understood clearly once upon a time, but decided to grow out of. This language is pure, with no room for misinterpretations or misnomers. It is universal. And here am I trying to learn this language, trying to tune myself back into the language of the universe.

  23. Posted

    There is an immense power about us that society has had us tune out from, but it is still there. It is the power of creation. And this power is vibration. 

    You're doing it right now.. vibrating. Just pay attention to your body, to your mind, to your spirit. You are oscillating, going around and around in circles, you're doing it with your thoughts, your actions and your feelings. You're living your life in cycles, in patterns that do not necessarily bind you, but you abide to them. It's not a rational thing.. you sticking with these patterns.. it's not an intellectual decision.. it's solely spiritual.. it is the force not of mind nor body but spirit. And you'll not realise this (only conceptualise it) unless you have a spiritual awakening.

    Society doesn't teach you of this power because it wants to harness for its own good. It would rather have you ignorant of it so that you feel like you don't have much choice but adhering to the system. See, everything in this world is stationed by a frequency. What do you suppose produces this frequency? Vibration. There is nothing else. Everything that you do ultimately creates a vibration. Only the sensitive are aware of this. The sensitive and the spiritually woke. The mass remains oblivious to this power. And I don't use the word “Power” superficially, I literally mean that vibration is actual power.

    Vibration is the power of creation because it produces frequency. Everything has a frequency to it, a certain tone to it, and a certain energy field. These are all products of vibration. And all of this one can directly learn from paying attention to one's body and mind. The body is the intelligence of the self.

    During your life, have you ever had a direct experience of reality, an expansion of consciousness, or some other mystical experience, that was awakened by music?

     

    When I was a kid, in church, there was, what I now look back on as a direct experience of infinite love. 

    It was during the worship service,  I do not remember the music that was playing, but it was on the theme of the "Love of God" (The Christian God.) I was curled up in a fetal position with my chest over my knees and eyes closed, over and over I repeated "I love you, I Love you, I Love you." Over and over and over. I didn't know what or who I was saying it too, I was completely caught up in the moment. This went on for a few minutes, till suddenly, over the course of a minute or two, I started weeping as my consciousness expanded to fill the whole room. 

    I was not "Conscious OF" the whole room "I" Was the entire bubble of awareness, I could "feel" or "see" movement of "Others" in the church, I could look back at my body still curled up, and was washed with waves of divine Love. it was so much, too  much for my body to handle, it felt agonizingly beautiful, like laying under Niagara falls and letting the millions of tons of water pound over me.

     

    Another experience was later on, after I had graduated highschool, dabbled in psychedelics, and even had insights into life and reality.


    But  this time I Was sober, in a dark spot, so alone, so confused, so lost. I didn't know what to do, I knew I needed to move to a different city, I was working two unfulfilling jobs to save the money. Later at night, I was sitting their in my suffering, listening to old worship music, not the kind that's preaching at you, but ones that are more abstract using words to point to something greater than words alone. (Specifically the song is "In over my head" by Jenn Johnson.) In my mind, I reached out,

    "God, I need help, I cant do this alone, I don't even know what I am doing or what to do, please..." I opened my heart and mind to whatever was about to happen.

    And soon after, slowly at first, then stronger and stronger, waves of energy started pulsating through me and the room. Love. Love in its full power, love that stripped my fears away, Love that dropped my jaw open because I was in such Awe. Love that didn't even make "sense." Love that I couldn't hold, or conceptualize. Love so big it hurt. And for five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes or so, I sat there, basking in these waves of Love, as tears dripped off my face. I knew that it was going to be okay. The difficulty wouldn't be able to stop me because I have Love. the  pain, suffering, uncertainty, could never stop me fully, because I didn't just have love, I AM LOVE.

    This is so beautiful.. thanks for sharing this awesome experience!

    What are your views on sensory input? Where is it being generated? Where is it coming from? What is it at the most fundamental level?

    The most fundamental level is vibration. Sensory input is not as strictly input as much as it is projection. It is being generated in the mind. 

    Personally, I don't take reality to be a dream, I take reality to be reality, and dream to be part of reality. I honestly believe that if I took reality to be mere dream then I wouldn't be as effective in my spiritual work. 

    However, on the nondual level, reality has the equivalent tone of a dream. I say equivalent tone because it's not in the words themselves that the truth of existence lies, but rather in the effect they have on one's understanding of it.

    So, I'm not saying that the Infinite One is asleep as to induce a dream state of consciousness. I'm saying that at the Godhead, as this forum refers to it, all states of consciousness are dream states of consciousness.

    But to address the original question: sensory input is that of intelligence and imagination, rather than physical particles radiating electromagnetic waves to be interpreted by the brain.
