This is a short clip of overpoliteness run amuck. One of the issues you will experience if you haven't experience already is most egos care more about feeling good than being accurate/truthful/honest. As such when you point this out you will be demonized. The ego is capable of infinite demonization, I mean literally God as the formless is just observing everything and egos point to God and say you are evil, why don't you change things? So you are damned if you do and damned if you don't when it comes to intervening or not. If God did that, God would be a tyrant, if God doesn't do it, they still call God a tyrant anyway. So understand that sometimes it is better to be hated, to keep people alive. ^^^This is what maturity is. Maturity=Willing to suffer for the greater good.

You all complicate Enlightenment so much, its none of that. I'll give an example so it makes sense. Let's say you are Mario in a video game, and you become aware ABSOLUTELY that you are a video game character and the video game itself!! Well now you are officially enlightened. Now let's say there is another video game character let's say there name is LEO and they tell you, well I understand MORE of what is going on!! I discovered the code and how to jump between stages, so you aren't really woke at all!!! HAHAHHA Is Mario still enlightened? YES!!! The point was to realize he was a video game character and the video game itself. But does Leo have a higher more indepth understanding? Yes, because he figured out how to jump between stages so he is operating more from the video game identity which is creator mode. So both are enlightened and are sufficient to wake any other characters up, but that Leo character can offer them something beyond just enlightenment. With that said this is not an endorsement of Leo, it's just letting you know that you all are letting Leo confuse you. He poo poos it because from his point of view he is saying he discovered a more FREE WAY to experience reality than just awareness of what is going on offers.

It depends on what level you are at in consciousness. Since God is everything, God is doing everything. But God's power is so powerful it can appear that the human identity is doing something. You can reach a state of consciousness where you can watch your human character doing things no different than watching characters on a screen. This will surprise the hell out of you. You have the power to attach yourself to your human character and believe you are doing something or unattach and watch things happen. Your suffering comes from thinking you are doing something. As God you can choose how you want to experience life, you can go deeper in immersion or you can wake up more. Of you can do both LOL.

Based on your descriptions you are still experiencing separation. When you are fully enlightened you will know ABSOLUTELY that you and everyone you know is pure imagination appearing in Universal Mind. You will cease to experience any separation whatsoever.

Do you still feel a physical separation, or has that boundary dropped?

1. Just explain your experience of reality. I don't see it in the thread. 2. You don't need a lineage, you teach what you are aware of. Based on a few of your responses I don't think you are enlightened because you don't need qualifications to teach. Teaching is just a sharing of what you are aware of. If you don't want to view yourself as a teacher because you think it is arrogant, just reconceptualize yourself as a sharer and share instead of teaching. Also...enlightenment is imaginary just like nonenlightenment is imaginary as well.

I bolded the parts so you can see. Anytime someone asks you what are the pragmatic implications....they are asking you how does this impact my survival. Meaning and survival are one and the same. So yes, he is asking how does this benefit/impact/influence my life at all? Another way of saying...is are there any point to these questions at all? There is always subtlety in communication.

Now....can you do that with everything? Explain motion....

1. Do you tell people you are enlightened? Enlightenment is a game like anything else. If you truly understand what Enlightenment is...who are you telling? One of the problems with Enlightenment is it can create a Spiritual Ego that wants to brag that it is Enlightened. It's a normal trap though and part of the process. 2. Would you tell a romantic partner? It depends, if they show signs of wanting to pursue the path then I'd offer some guidance. Outside of that I would just drop breadcrumbs that are equivalent to the level they are at. This takes a certain level of discernment to do that though. 3. Where do you go to meet another person who is enlightened? I believe there are certain people on this forum who are enlightened based on their posts and responses. So the answer is here, but I don't know anybody in my local area who is. 4. Do you think that enlightenment alone is sufficient for teaching in the Zen tradition or does teaching require learning a more formal system? Part of Enlightenment is expressing your unique perspective. Why are you trying to teach the Zen tradition specifically? Are you aware of the limitations of the Zen tradition? Once enlightened if you have the skill of teaching and expressing in words you won't need to use any formal system. 5. Describe your current subjective experience since you make the claim that you are enlightened. How do you experience reality?

This is an interesting perspective. You stated that chess was never supposed to be about that. I'm sure you could make that argument about basketball when James Naismith was using peach baskets as a goal to score on. I think with most games you age out at some point and that's why people who play games for a career eventually go on to do something else. Also with your point about threading a very fine needle, you can make that argument about almost anything at this point. Outside of working for the government pretty much anything in the private sector is just survival of the fittest. Also now with all this A.I. technology streamlining previous work is going to push a bunch of jobs out. I think the OP is probably better working for a non-profit on some of those emotional/sociopolitical ideas he was bringing up if he has a passion for that line of work. But I would suggest if he wants to become a Grand Master he needs to devote himself like a demon to practicing ridiculous hours. Only problem with that...is burnout can become a likely result.

Do you understand the principle of impermanence? 1. It happened in your sleep 2 years ago. If you are sleeping fine then its fine. 2. If you are too scared to do spiritual work then don't do spiritual work. 3. Your root chakra is ALWAYS active, its called the root chakra for a reason. Go do some research on the chakras if you want to understand how they work. 4. Here is some music that works on all your chakras.

Exactly 💯

I want you all when you have time to talk about your first big WOW moment when you had a mystical experience that confirmed Reality was Pure Imagination. How did it feel to see that nothing you read could compare to the power and mind fuckery you felt when it happened? Was their existential fear? Let us know. For me it tied up every single moment in my life up to that point. I was like...of course, of course!!

I know what you are TRYING to say.....but ummm...I would need to know what it is to drive it. So ummmm knowing isn't overrated. You couldn't even write all this without knowing language.

.Every time God shakes things up a little for its ego. ^^^^

^^^^Don't worry you'll be fine. You have plenty of time to reach this goal.

LOL I'm glad you noticed he was really asking about how does this benefit me? LOL. It's pretty interesting as that is the main question an ego asks. It's like so what if God exists? If that doesn't benefit me why should I care? But the more interesting part about it.....is if you didn't care...you wouldn't be here. Cognitive Dissonance. You do care,....you just are having second thoughts.....and are trying to rationalize why you decided to come here and seek answers.

What question do you have? I find usually it takes time for the answer to come. You have to drop all pretenses, and you need to remember that your ego wants something self serving on the individual level. The ego does not want to know that its a vessel for the spread of love. It wants to know how it can get its individual goals met. Its like a chess piece being used doesn't want to know its a chess piece, it doesn't like that perspective.

Have you ever taken 5 MEO?

^^^Tis True for everything. All our lives are purely subjective.

God is so single....God does not exist according to human standards. Humans define existence as something physical, not realizing that everything is physical is actually equivalent as nothing. Notice how you keep asking about my experience....there is only experience. A human is an experience. Silence is an experience. Sound is an experience. All your sensations are just experience. Can you actually divide experience? Close your eyes right now and try to divide it....notice...you can't. You cannot divide experience because whatever you try to divide it with...is itself experience. You ARE experience. What is experience....it is the appearance of a lack of experience....appearing. What is deep sleep? The annihilation of all experience. So the lack of experience...is what you would call nonexistence. This nonexistence..is MIND. This MIND is so powerful it can be infinitely aware...or completely UNAWARE. Even when its not aware...it still exists. Because nonexistence and existence are the same thing. How can that be? Because God is a MIRACLE. LIFE IS A MIRACLE, DEATH IS A MIRACLE, EVERYTHING IS A MIRACLE.

Sigh....go search for the answers. I've already explained it a million times and most open-minded scientists don't even subscribe to materialism. You have never even seen your brain, you were just told you had one. So notice you were just told things and accepted them as true. You haven't actually investigated for yourself what is true. Even now you ask me for an explanation. This is counter to what this thread is about but I'll make an exception. I'm going to give you links that will show scientific evidence that questions what you think about reality. The rest is UP TO YOU. It's not anybody's job to prove anything to you because you have always believed what you WANTED to believe. Humans are not designed to accept anything they don't want too and you are no different. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-universe-is-not-locally-real-and-the-physics-nobel-prize-winners-proved-it/ https://www.larrygottlieb.com/blog/the-observer-effect#:~:text=The observer effect enters into,trajectory through space and time. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6172100/ And lastly....when you go into DEEP SLEEP...nothing is there. And when you dream everything disappears of your current world and you enter that dream. If your body was you, it would always be there but it disappears and reappears when you go to sleep. Hell you can watch a movie and get so engrossed in the movie...you can lost awareness of your body. So notice your ability to FALL ASLEEP and LOSE YOURSELF as you call it, your ability to fall into a trance. This is because how you operate is based on what you focus on, that becomes your identity. Your body is IN YOUR MIND, no different than how a video game character is in your TV. You are a UNIVERSAL MIND, that is a transparent invisible screen absent of all qualia/qualities. Then through your power of imagination you make things appear on that screen. You can expand the screen, zoom in, zoom out, twist and turn, you can do anything to that screen, but that screen is ALWAYS ONE!!!! So the ONENESS is that screen is SINGULAR, but what happens on that screen THAT IS INFINITE!!!
