Arthogaan

I think he has totally different function than Leo. It is not so much wisdom, teaching but rather art, inspiration.

From watching I him I think what he has to offer is that he seems to be reaaaly stable in his state. Whether is going throught the street without the shirt, or just cheerfully talking with a friend, he has those empty eyes all the time, and he never waits with his expression, it is instant as if there really is no-one controlling. Actually it is inspiring.

Checked and he is 37 years old. Kinda crazy. I would believe if someone said he is 25.

But a newborn child, with no reference points, no memory, he would perceive just some weird dance of colours. The thing he would experience is more close to being alone with no conception of others, rather than the whole story about humans having their own perspective and thoughts.

Consciousness with no thoughts whatsoever.

How can it be a relative notion if all there is, is direct experience (consciousness/I AM)? (Asking not arguing) What would you say to me trying to make a sneaky workaround about this in the following way : Absolute Solipsism is true, but the moment it is thought about, conceptualized by a mind it is immediatelly bastardized and it is no longer true. So no one can claim it. But it is true.

I understand how importance of it is relative. But it is very important for me at my stage. And Absolute Solipsism just resonates and perfectly explains everything, but on the other hand I just can't be 100% sure. And talking and asking about it constantly, trying to grok this 100% - even if irrelevant - is what gives me fun at the moment.

In direct experience there is only Oneness. There is no multiplicity. There is only imaginations of distinctions within that Oneness. Wouldn't you agree?

That is a really cool way of looking at it. But: 1. Does not change the fact that you are the only one with perspective RIGHT NOW. It is like there are all this slides/photos of each possible frame of each possible POV laying on the floor in an infinite potential room. And they are put onto the projector one by one. Yes all of them "exist" as potential laying on the floor, but there is only one projector - your consciousness. So everyone has a perspective as potentiality but only you as actuality. I know you meant this, just wanted to use my own words for fun. 2. If that is the case and you have all the eternity I do not really see the reason why would God interrupt each "stories" with frames from other stories. He can as well just end Breakingthewall's life and only then start my life. But who knows. Maybe that's what dejavu is - God slips just a little bit and continues a story in a little bit wrong place

@Matthew85 does your intuition and direct experience also tell you that others are obviously real when you dream at night?

He called solipsism "a form of madness" and used it as a argument against it which goes to show that he is scared of that concept of alloneness. And I don't blame him. It is a quantum leap and he does not use pdychedelics to help with that leap.

You wrote long articles about how you realised solipsism is true with similiar arrogant and confident tone as that one. So I think the question is fair.

Because only you exist. Leo is your imagination. Not sure what you mean brother. That is true, but also they have potential to be the deepest ones available in humanity's history. I don't know. Just wanted to clarify what I think Leo's standpoint is. All of what he says about solipsism resonates with me, aligns with my experiences and gives me great joy, but there is still that 1% of uncertainty and suspiciousness that I have to tackle on my path.

I don't see that as limitation at all. It is what it is. It is like saying that Matthew85 shouldn't be himself because that would be limiting. Well actually if you behaved other than your true self that would stem from some limitation.

What Leo is teaching is realizing that your whole point of view is one big vehicle and that there is only one vehicle. No sub vehicles in that vehicle.

* flashbacks of Leo screaming "nothing is under control! Everything is out of control!" during his live trip *

I see what you are saying. God's imagination is reality so when he dreams that he is not god that becomes reality. And even if in a certain dream it would be total, because God is limitless so he would be able to limit himself totally to a butterfly, then still God is limitless so he can change his mind in an instant, decide total is not total and actually I am able to wake up as butterfly. Because God is so limitless he would be able to ignore his total limits. Very paradoxical, but my intuition just is on the freedom end of that paradox. That he always has a potential to wake up to being god so he is god.

It is a certain aesthetic and style choice. God just prompted Leo to simulate being like that:

Well then fastest way into enlightenment for you is actually to fulfill your desires with girls first.

How many hours a day are you able to meditate? Meditate for 10 hours a day and you will see a really fast progress.

That is all valid criticism. Just have in mind that we are critizing the owner of the house that invited us all for dinner for free. And no ordinary food is served but highest insights. Sometimes the host of such house can behave weirdly. Sometimes he throws people out of the house, sometimes he shouts and insults. But his got a good heart for inviting us all and serving delicious insight for free.

Well the movie continues to be absurd, so I don't know if it would change your experience to watch it till the end. I loved the goofyness and absurdity.

Did you watch a movie "Everything everywhere all at once"? That movie does a pretty good job with combating a sense od nihilism and meaninglesness that stems from infinite pararell universes. Its a great movie.

Title of the post says: I am a Tantric practitioner. I know nothing about tantra, but what you later started to describe just seems like regular enlightment/abidance/awakening and process of integrating it into daily life. So why do you use word tantra and hows does it differ from other enlightment concepts? Are you using you sexuality in order to achieve what you described?
