Well it all depends on how we define religion....many people associate religion with dogma, and with tradition. That is one way to look at it. We could also personalize religion and call it a practice of devotion to a higher source of power or more expansive source of power. For example...look at how Osho defines religion. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wk1xvoQg1oA He makes the argument you can only be religious WITHOUT a religion. LOL. Trippy huh? I actually agree with Osho on one part, you cannot truly be religious without discarding religion. Because true religion should actually be Spirituality. The whole purpose of religion was to lay the foundation for a practice of connecting with all that is. If you notice Spirituality has the same purpose, to teach you how to connect with all that is. For example...not doing anything....is the same as doing. So your practice could just...be, BEING. Another practice could be dancing, singing, etc. And that could be your practice, to connect to being by doing something with so much devotion that you realize that doing...is also being. So yes I actually see Spirituality as a religion, but a religion FREE OF DOGMA. To me Spirituality is the cultivation of an individual connection and expression of your divine individuality. And to me the purpose of Religion ultimately is the same thing. So for me Religion will gain back its power when it seeks to assist you in your individuation, but to expand that individuation towards the infinite.

Disagreeableness is a trait that is key in leadership surprisingly. It is a trait that makes you authoritative, it makes you more likely to rebel against established norms. Consistent research showcases that majority of people who make it to the top of competitive environments score high on disagreeableness. Now obviously this trait needs to be balanced with agreeableness as too much disagreeableness will turn you into a criminal, but that is obvious and besides the point. Another key feature they mention is also how open to experience the Presidents are. If you are an introvert, being President is probably not the job for you. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/08/presidents To run for office as Present of the United States: Be a natural-born citizen of the United States. Be at least 35 years old. Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. Now this is the official requirements....let's talk about the unofficial requirements. If you are a woman you are less likely to win. Woman like to blame men as the ones holding the U.S. back from having its first Female President but this is not the case. Women outnumber men both in population, voter registration, and voter turnout/actually voting. Source: https://cawp.rutgers.edu/facts/voters/gender-differences-voter-turnout So the only one that is stopping America from having a Female President...is women. You are less likely to win if you are unmarried. James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States and served from 1857-1861. He was the only President to be elected from Pennsylvania and to remain a lifelong bachelor. Buchanan's niece, Harriet Lane, acted as hostess for him. Lane was orphaned at the age of eleven and Buchanan was her guardian. If you are shorter than 5'9 you are less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heights_of_presidents_and_presidential_candidates_of_the_United_States#:~:text=The tallest U.S. president was,examination summary from February 2023. If you are not rich you are less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth If you are not white you are less likely to win. This is self-explanatory outside of Barack Obama all prior Presidents identified as white. If you have not gone to college less likely to win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_education If you have prior criminal convictions you are less likely to win. You can run for the President as a felon but there has not been a President who was elected as a former convicted felon. Donald Trump was sued for fraud while running for office but it was in civil court and he settled for 25 million while running for office. There may be other unofficial requirements which is just things Americans consider unconsciously and consciously when they go to the voter booth. Other than that....anyone that fits the 3 requirements of being a natural born citizen, 35 years old, and lived in America for 14 years can run for the Office of the President of the United States of America.

Love is completely empty and is completely full. But you can only experience the fullness when you realize you are empty.

^^^LOL you are a wise fool because if you awaken you receive the greatest gift ever....yourself. You get free samadhis whenever you want, you get bliss for free. You can rev up the feeling of love or dial it down. You also understand people at the deepest level imaginable. No therapist, no psychiatrist could ever know or understand people better than you. Because you gain complete self-knowledge in that you know beyond a doubt that every person, every creature, everything is GOOD. You discover what GOODNESS is and get to see it from different angles. You understand that all the things you call evil actually SERVE GOOD. Because GOOD is so GOOD it can only experience itself through duality....so that is why all things we hate serve all things we love. You are able to see it and it makes you laugh.

Now you get why I get so annoyed by my other selves...so dishonest, they don't care about truth over feeling good. They would rather feel good than know the truth of who they are....but I get it....know why? Because enlightenment is like me walking into a movie theater and totally dissolving the immersion of the movie. Some people want to be immersed in the movie....so who am I to wake them up? Only reason why it annoys me is they come to a Spirituality Forum pretending this is what they want....LOL. Reminds me of people who get married thinking that is what they want...then they get depressed. People like the idea of awakening...most do not want to actually awaken. Why? Because they don't love themselves enough to release OTHER. You might ask...how do you release this attachment? Total satisfaction with the life you have lived, with all aspects of your character and your place in life. Once you get to that point you have achieved love with everything and you can finally let go of other. So when people struggle to release other it lets me know you are still not yet satisfied with your dream character and their life and you still have unfinished business.

It works exactly like a dream. You guys need to stop playing ignorant. Close your eyes...imagine an apple...TA DAH that is the same way you create everything in existence. All you do as God is lower the potency of your imagination to what you call human imagination. Why does Leo tell you to take a psychedelic? Because you can REMOVE THE LIMITER ON YOUR IMAGINATION. Psychedelics are not just some chemicals, they are the mechanism you put in your dream to REALLY WAKE YOU UP. So how it works...is it is amechanical. When you think of an apple, there is no process...it just spontaneously pops into existence in your mind when you think of it. This is the same way you create EVERYTHING. Now take your hand...move it from left to right.....your hand is appearing and disappearing right in front of your eyes. Yes right now what I am doing is no different than walking into a bathroom mirror and talking to my reflection. No different!!! This is what I and all of humanity are doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RviXU4teimw&ab_channel=SWNS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAmGX80jh8k&ab_channel=KING5Seattle All you gotta do as God to fool yourself is put another you in front of you like a mirror, give them a different personality and appearance....and TA DAH!!!! You fool yourself. Once you understand this fully, you realize....evil doesn't exist and that all humans...are LOVE because YOU ARE LOVE!!!

Absolute means total, total means alone. Why does it mean alone? Because it is all there is. If I told you your point of view was all there is...then your point of view is ALONE. It means there are no other point of views outside of your point of view. Thus it is alone. It would need another point of view to NOT be alone and this is not the case. This means if I REMOVE your point of view...there is NO point of view. So thus your point of view is TOTAL and is ALONE. The only way for you to NOT be alone is to TELL YOURSELF you are not alone which is what you do when you go to sleep. When you go to sleep your point of view in your dream is the ONLY POINT OF VIEW. When you trip on psychedelics your point of view is the ONLY POINT OF VIEW. If you are not there to observe something it never happened. Being told what happens is in your point of view and being shown a video of what happened is in your point of view. You have never and WILL NEVER experienced anything away from you. But you CAN TELL YOURSELF YOU HAVE and take that on as a belief. But you can NEVER PROVE IT. Because YOU ARE ALONE. You are always alone and will always be alone. You just don't like it. You create other, without other you are alone. Other is just YOU so since there is no other you are ALONE. You can fight this all you want but it never changes and will never change. If someone shoots you in the head, you will take EVERYBODY WITH YOU, the same way you do when you wake up from a dream. You fight this because you don't want to awaken. But one day you will awaken and you will lose other and be floating in a void. I have a friend, a girl I know who had a seizure and momentarily died and entered the void and she was totality and was the only thing there. I have also experienced the void and it was the same thing. You like to a void the void....which is what you are experiencing right now. That void has no other....and right now neither do you.

Experience is alone because it is all that is. The number 1 does not need a comparison or other to be one, and neither does alone. The number 1 is alone. Because it is the lone number. Look up the definition of the word lone. Lone: Single, Solitary, Isolated. So alone= Single, solitary, isolated. You all keep trying to find word games to avoid that you are a single, solitary, isolated, dreamer that has nothing else to reflect on....but itself. You can only compare yourself to yourself because you are all alone.

I disagree, religion is only for those who have not understood the purpose and the meaning behind all religious messages. All religions point to the Truth, but they are indirect methods to connect to it. Eventually you must shed all religions and form a personal connection with the TRUTH and become your own internal religion. Now with that said religion does have other uses like community outreach, but the main purpose of religion is to be a gateway for those who are spiritually immature and need training wheels to develop. But once you understand the principles of No Self, The Self, Self Love, Unconditional Love, Infinity, Masculine Love, Feminine Love, at a deep level that is when you become the Master of Love. Because you have attained Self-Mastery. Now regarding Leo....I think he is fine as he has a proper epistemological understanding into the nature of Love, I only think he needs to work on his bias of humans. He does not hold humans in high enough regard in my opinion and I believe it masks his ability to see the beauty in humanity. Humanity is very beautiful.

Well there are two versions of it. There is the deepest realization that ends the dream and there is the less deeper realization that makes you fully lucid in the dream. When I ended the dream and returned a small amount of lucidity came with that but it actually took me time to raise that lucidity high enough that it became obvious it was a dream. The ending of it puts you in an empty void floating there. Then you realize what the void is. The lucid dreaming allows you to experience Nonduality as Oneness so you experience being both 1 and 2 at the same time. You also can consciously shift the experience to a dual experience and then to an experience of Oneness and you see how you were asleep and what makes you asleep. Then all the spiritual words make sense about you having to deny, and how all denying is bias etc. Basically your entire perceptual experience is that of NO seperation but from a state that is manageable from your perspective. But...you can always take the challenge of trying to raise your baseline to an even more intense form of Oneness as the experience of Oneness can get deeper infinitely.

Human =Experience. You just create in your mind other human experience. There is no other experience. Just experience. And how can you be alone....when the other human is you. The only reason the capacity to be alone exists...is because Solipsism is an Absolute. There is the ONE self, and there is the human self. They are identical. Both point to ONE. Alone is equal to ALL ONE. They are mirror reflections of each other.

The ego loves limit because the ego is limited. The ego hates the lack of limits, and it also hates the fact that it is limited. It goes full circle. The ego wants to be unlimited but it cannot, as such it demonizes itself and thus demonizes infinity. It cannot help but be this way, the only way the ego can escape this is it must surrender to truth. Until it values truth which is the lack of limits and the inclusion of all limits simultaneously it will always play the game of denial and demonization of Oneness. Once you awaken to Absolute Oneness you realize why your life is the way it is and why all your parts are acting like this.

If you listen to what Leo says in Infinity of Dreams...it is just a deeper form of solipsism. He said you cannot verify Infinity of Gods....while living, you only verify it through death. He said two realities became one which= DEATH. The moment you become AWARE of Infinity of Gods....it becomes ONE!!! So infinity of gods= SOLIPSISM!!! You cannot escape Oneness....So again...Absolute Solipsism...WINS AGAIN!!! It is undefeated. https://youtu.be/skoXFwOxTIk?si=l3jrrFxiA1UinGuY&t=4563 The truth is brutal. Love is brutal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7B7A3GBdMw&t=362s&ab_channel=Actualized.org

Sometimes you have to hurt feelings if you demonize hurting the feelings of others....you will not be able to honest with them. The only thing we are here to master is balance. Sometimes you hurt feelings to tell them something they need to hear, sometimes its not the right time to tell them. Any form of criticism or critique is going to create negative emotion. But the issue with trying to suppress this is it always backfires. This is why it is better to learn how to respectfully communicate your feelings and be strong enough to take the negative backlash that comes with it. It is easier to say it than do it, but it is a necessary part of life and a sign of maturity. God made humans stubborn for a reason, so we can learn that pain comes in every relationship. It's unavoidable.

Absolute Solipsism isn't mental masturbation. Absolute Solipsism says close your eyes....imagine something...that imagination is equal to your life. So eyes open or closed you are dreaming and they work the same way, the only difference is the open eye dream is way more immersive, seductive, it pulls you in and puts you to sleep at a deeper level. So Absolute Solipsism says you are an Absolute Dream, Absolute Imagination, and thus the same way your dreams work is the same way Reality works. The only difference between your human imagination and God level imagination is the CONSISTENCY of its manifestation. That is why psychedelics are useful in this work because it can reveal the dream like nature of reality, it can also make your so called night time dreams experienced as REAL as what you call your waking life. So saying Absolute Solipsism is no different than saying Life is a dream. But notice with Absolute Solipsism there are ramifications...you can actually figure out...how you are constructing the dream and how you fooled yourself/fooling yourself. The only reason it gets so much negative backlash because its too got damn direct of a pointer that those who pretend they want to wake up are drawn too close to the truth, too close to what DEATH IS. Its all fun and games till the TRUTH enters the room, now you can't pretend anymore that you wanted TRUTH and the denial you were hiding surfaces. It's why I love this because it reveals the pretenders who are too attached to other. It puts up a mirror so they can see that they were just trying to fool themselves all along that they were ready to give up their attachments. Because to lose OTHER, is = DEATH. Because reality can only define itself through OTHER which is duality. Absolute Solipsism makes the loss of duality...REAL....LOL.

God is whatever you say it is ^^^^I'm glad you understand the wisdom of these teachings. Because Reality is Absolutely Relative and has no ground, whatever ground/position/perspective you take will be your experience of God. This is what the teachings are pointing too. I'm glad you got it. One of the aspects of Enlightenment is to realize your perspective is the ground of reality. Your ego was designed to be the ground so you can experience God....in a particular way.

Very true. I think sometimes though the Gurus do not know this. I had to learn through my own direct experience that you are not going to awaken God through one of its humans faster than is necessary and that just like we have stages of education we have stages of development. A Guru needs to have the discernment to know when a student is serious versus when one is playing around. P.S. Did you meditate at the statue or did you just visit it?

Winning statement!

Investigate for yourself and find out. I'm all out of ammo at the moment.

You got it!!!

They are confusing you because they don't want you to awaken. They fear Solipsism because Absolute Solipsism is equal to a dream. When you go to sleep at night the others in the dream do not have their own POV. This is true for you in your direct experience. Notice you TELL YOURSELF that they have their own POV but you have NEVER confirmed it. And you never will. Now can you imagine they have their own perspective and then they get one? Sure...but that is because YOU GAVE THEM A POV. Them having a POV is not inherent, you have to construct that/project that onto your experience. The only POV you have ever confirmed is your own. This is why you have to be HONEST to get to the bottom. Even your human POV is also a construction as well and you only have a human POV because you give that to yourself and you can deconstruct away that POV also. That's the point. Whether you have a POV or whether another person has one is based on what you DECIDE is true. The problem is even if you dissolve your human identity and the identity of so called others....YOU WILL STILL EXIST. This proves that there was NEVER OTHER perspective to begin with, it is just a construction. If you can get fooled by bots on social media how can you not be fooled that other people have their own experiences? LOL they don't because YOU ARE EXPERIENCE.

Me goes beyond concept....Me states or points to what you are. These are just silly little ego games you are doing to avoid the VOID. When your human dream ends...and you realize that you are the totality of everything...this little game you are playing will be seen for what it is. There is not other. Other is ME, There is ONLY ME. Me is to state what you are which is totality. Your human self disappears when you don't dream and go into deep sleep and so does the universe. All appearances disappear because they are impermanent. Solipsism just says that you are TOTALITY. There are no other perspectives or experiences because YOU ARE TOTAL. You play dishonest games because you don't realize that total means you are all alone. You are all alone because you cannot be separated. What is a concept is SEPERATION. ME just points to TOTALITY. ME=TOTALITY. Self=TOTALITY. There is ONLY ME....and that is it. Enough of these games you avoiders.

https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/en-US/get-involved/videos-books-and-essays/famine-affluence-and-morality-peter-singer Peter Singer wrote an essay on his description of morality and it is an interesting read. I have lived interestingly in my own personal life similarly to what he expresses in his essay but I am not sure I entirely agree with the way he frames his argument. But I do agree with the premise that you can certainly make arguments of excess spending on luxuries as a barrier to relief spending and changing the moral view of societies on this point could create more global help. But I would counter his argument about there being a lot of people doing well financially in "well developed" nations. 38% of the population in the United States earn less than $30,000. This includes: 51% of workers 40% of workers who earn less than $20,000 13% of workers who earn less than $5,000 50% of people older than 15 who earn less than $30,000 The 2023 poverty guidelines for a family of four is $30,000. The federal poverty line for a family of four is $24,250 and the line for a family of three is $20,090. 11.4% of Americans live below the poverty line. This includes any 1-2 family household that makes less than $20,000 per year or any 3-4 family household that makes less than $30,000 per year. So its not such a clear cut shame on you for living in the "well developed" nation of America and not donating charity. A significant amount of Americans need a charity or go fundme themselves. Other than that his paper is an interesting read.

Jada explains how living the dream couldn't shield her from depression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcNykC7OBfg&ab_channel=People

This man is a Dr. of Psychology and doesn't even understand how humans work. He said humans don't want jobs. What he doesn't seem to understand is that every human wants to create something. Sure nobody wants to get a job working for someone creating what they want if it doesn't align with what you want to do, but everyone would love to have a "job" that allowed them to create what they want and get paid for it. Now some would use the term career, or business when they describe doing what you love on your own terms and use the term job as something you do just to make ends meet. Sure you can do that, but technically speaking a business can still be classified as a job, and so can a career, depends on how you want to use the term. As a kid you played, play is creation, play is self-expression. This man with all of his academic learning doesn't know the truth of who he is, and thus will have an incomplete understanding of what is really going on. You can watch the video here. This is just an example of the limitations of scholastic knowledge, eventually you will have to leave the confines of those limitations to increase your own understanding. Also notice how he uses an economic model and tries to force that model on relationships. He said relationships are the medium through which value is extracted. Sure you can use that model but then you would have to define value. In his model the limitations would be based on what is good for my survival. But this model fails to uphold in say a parent-child relationship, because initially the child gets all the value based on his model. He is right on this point though..."Most people don't want a relationship they want what a relationship can give them." But I would turn that around on him and say....who taught them that? The current adults are a reflection of their parents and what they taught them. Every generation is a reflection of the prior generation. So if you think the current generation is more selfish than you, ask yourself why did you raise them to be selfish? What he doesn't realize is relationships are not on the decline because their needs are being met elsewhere, relationships are on the decline because humans have to be RAISED and TAUGHT HOW TO SOCIALIZE!!! We do not do a satisfactory job on raising children on how to socialize because we focus on two things to our detriment. MONEY and ENTERTAINMENT! We also do not customize our education system to help each child reach their true creative potential. We have turned the school systems into some factory that just churns out robots. We do not emphasize critical thinking in the way we create our tests or in the way we teach. Anyway that's a whole different topic. Basically in short we do not emphasize self-honesty, acceptance of differences, selflessness, we push this onto the churches and religions not realizing that the school system is the biggest proponent outside of parents in what value systems the children grow up with. Religion has lost its hold on creating and promoting cooperative value systems so what gets replaced are values in favor of competition over cooperation. When ever you ask the question....how did we get here? The answer is EASY....the parents.....and the school system!!! I'm not blaming them as devils, I am saying they are the foundation of society!!! The foundation of society is not the government, the foundation is the parents and the school system and to a lesser degree the churches.
