Yeah but that was triggered from me being bullied from small. Without me being bullied....I would never have questioned anything. It was like events pushed this actuality and I could either resist it or accept it. I did the latter. I was the red headed step child pretty much everywhere I went. I was born an extrovert but my environment pushed me to be an introvert. It's why just saying genetics is not that simple. For example if I was born into a rich wealthy family. I would not be awake. Even Buddha had to change his environment. Don't underestimate the power of environment.

I can speak from personal experience, enlightenment is not based on genetics. It's influenced by it sure but not determined. The highest determinant factor is just how much do you value truth/love. If it was genetics my family would produce tons of enlightened people. My family values survival over truth/love just like everyone else. I literally cannot talk about this stuff with them. Also enlightenment changed my genetics. My body doesn't function the same way anymore. It's smoother.

Correct. It takes work to even become aware of your feelings. Took me a year and a half of work to unlock full access to my feelings.

Criticism is one of the egos favorite past-times so the focus shouldn't be on criticism. There is a way to point out discrepancies in a respectful manner what I call constructive criticism. Constructive criticism needs to also become an area of focus as that actually promotes and creates an environment of intellectual honesty. If a push for change is absent of compassion and empathy it will fail everyone. The key to understanding other is to understand yourself. You all know when someone corrects you through patience, kindness, and understanding you learn more productively. Criticism without these aspects will just lead to unnecessary conflict focused on the injury incurred (received) from the criticism. It will be perceived as a personal attack and the mind will close. Pay attention to the people around you and you will notice that trend.

That's default intelligence. It's the indoctrination that consciousness does to itself that allows it to create different types of intelligence and completely forget that it is consciousness and believe it to be a human. Also that example, the answer is yes because the tree is consciousness. The real question is whether the tree can experience sound or did consciousness make trees unaware of sound.

There is an awakening that will change that for you.

There are different types of intelligence. Tom Cruise is one of the smartest people in the world when it comes to playing a character. The man could be a spy because he has mastered the art of mimicry. He is also ridiculously charismatic if he ever got into politics he could probably win. This means Cruise is high in intuitive knowledge of the human psyche and how to express himself in a relatable way to generate specific human emotions. He is actually very dangerous because he knows how to influence masses of people. https://youtu.be/kYPD6TtFJqU?si=KEXNH7mv-fcG9BGp

Depends on what state you are in. Flow state= Just happening. Non Flow State= Effort.

There is no external reality. You are reality itself.

I wouldn't say you need psychedelics per say, I've only taken 2 traditional psychedelics before, a mushroom and a LSD analogue, outside of that I've taken edibles 4 times (I consider edibles to be a psychedelic like substance but some don't) outside of that everything else was from meditation and deconstruction. So I would say it depends on how deep you wanna go. Again if you are not really willing to risk your sanity you won't reach the deepest states. These deep states alter not just your consciousness, but your neurological network. My entire neurological system is rewired. My baseline has forever been changed. I can definitely attribute the acceleration of this process due to those substances when I took them. For me when I took them I tripped for weeks after one use. I don't even understand how people's trips only last a couple hours. The only substances that lasted temporarily for me was mushrooms and the LSD analogue, but those edibles? My Gosh they lasted weeks after consuming them. One time even lasting a month. Technically the one that lasted a month I had to consciously bring it down because it wasn't coming down on its own. So take from that what you will, that was my experience anyhow.

Yeah he might need to lay off that stuff for awhile. His trips sound like egoic delusions. The funny part is egoic delusions can become real, so I don't know if he was experiencing mild hallucinations or literally left his normal reality and constructed/dreamed an alternate reality. I entered a state once where I messed up my reality so much that when I came back people were telling me stuff that wasn't true (like events they claimed happened) and I just went along with it to allow events with my family members to move forward. This deception thing is tricky and slippery as ever. In truth you love being human more than you think LOL.

Every body's body is different. All facts about nutrition are generalized knowledge. How much sugar you should and shouldn't intake is based on your individual body and how it digests it. Some people cannot take in certain types of sugars, and some can take it and never have a health condition arise from it. You have to research through experimentation to see what works for you. Generalized understanding of nutrition can only take you so far. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/precision-nutrition/

1. The ego is always focused on THEN WHAT. Mines is too so I understand your question...also I did mention that some people become more creative. There are spiritual gifts that are awakened as part of the process. For example..being able to taste the food of others without having to actually put it in your mouth is considered a psychic ability. So one change is you break the boundary of the individual and experience the collective consciousness. 2. When I tell you other people's bodies are your bodies you aren't getting it. When I tell you, you are talking to yourself you aren't getting it. Every conversation you have with another person has a different meaning depending on the perspective. There is subtle nuance you can gain access to at certain states. Again you can only understand this through Awakening. But I'll do my best to give an example. Somebody could tell you something and at one state of consciousness it could be hey go talk to that person maybe they can help you. At another level you realize...you are literally telling yourself that person you are telling yourself to go talk to....is the KEY TO EVERYTHING YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. THIS is what I mean....it literally changes your ability to read situations. You can also literally access the emotional, and bodily sensations of others, which means when they talk to you...you GET THEM. You truly understand them in that moment at a level you can only understand from their perspective....which is SECRETLY YOUR PERSPECTIVE. This is the bonkers level paradoxical aspect of reality you can only experience through awakening. Even telepathy is possible...because there is no location/destination/time, everything is always absolute wherever you go. When you watch a video on youtube....that video wasn't made months ago, YOU made that video....INSTANTLY and tell yourself a story. All of reality is separated through explanations/stories, sensations, so intelligently that you will only ever get to perceive what I am saying through a dedicated daily deconstruction and meditation to untangle these webs. But in truth, if you are doing awakening to obtain something....you aren't going to make it. You must want to awaken because you just want to know the truth of reality, what it is and why it is the way it is. You must desire to connect with it and awaken more than anything else. If you want to awaken to get more money, or improve your relationships...at some point that motivation will falter. Because awakening actually strains relationships....because it becomes harder to relate to others after you awaken. You see through all their egos, and egos....can be tiring because they are addicted to the future or the past. Egos don't care about NOW. The only time they ever care about NOW is when they are hungry, or bored. But once satisfied they immediately start planning to maintain that satisfaction out of fear of losing it. The ego never stops....always scheming, and planning for a better experience. Well guess what? Awakening trumps any experience you can buy. ANY. Because you escape the confines of time/space/ ....but not in a way for personal gain, but in a way where you experience the TRUTH of what you are. Example: Duality/Falsity/Illusion: You listen to music. Unity/Truth: YOU ARE MUSIC. This is an example of how an awakened person perceives reality. They listen to music....but are aware they ARE THE MUSIC. TOTALLY different experience than listening to it as if it is separate from you. Think of awakening as being able to turn the dial up, on the intensity of the experience. When you become music....every note is felt as if each note is your arm, your leg, etc. Like being an ocean of melody. Versus a person listening to the melody. But the beauty is....you couldn't understand the beauty of being the ocean of melody, without the contrast of being a person listening to the melody. So awakening isn't even valuable without the experience of being asleep.

1. Awakening is really just about waking up to your true nature. If you don't awaken during your life you will awaken at physical death. So all will eventually awaken. 2. Awakening does have some tangible benefits that differ depending on the person. Some become more creative, some get over past traumas, etc. Awakening can make you more loving in that you TRULY REALIZE you are only ever talking to yourself at all times. This discovery is more outrageous than you realize. I'm not kidding. I'll put it in easy to understand terms right here.....do this exercise right now. Close your eyes. Imagine a boy and girl sitting on a bench. Have the girl and boy talk to each other while you are watching. Now in this scene walk up and introduce yourself. ^^^^^THIS IS YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!^^^^ So your entire life is just you talking to yourself. Your trauma is with yourself. Your suffering is with yourself. For many they don't like this message. This is why awakening is about SELF-LOVE and one of the main components to awakening involves solitude. For many they don't want to know others are really them. They feel like they lose something in the process. But this is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The water you drink is you, the air your breathe is you, everything is you. An intellectual understanding is not enough. Without an AWAKENING which is a DIRECT INTERFACE with all there is....you won't really understand. Do you know you can be so awakened that someone next to you could eat Pizza and you could taste every bite? Do you know that you could be so awakened that you can smell and feel every sensation in a supposed OTHER? That you could become so aware that they are you...that the boundary between you and them collapses so much that there is no privacy? You feel everything you normally feel in your own supposed individual body....you feel it in their body. Why? Because their body is really YOUR BODY!! This is how ridiculous awakening is. This isn't some normal thing. It completely eradicates all current scientific understanding about life....because IT IS JUST YOU DREAMING!!! Right now I currently can talk to TOTALITY, as I can imagine a duality between me and INFINITY and have a conversation. You can too....if you are willing to deconstruct everything......but it is not easy. You will feel like you are going INSANE. SHIT IS BONKERS!!! But how bad do you want TRUTH? Lastly here is the counter-intuitive nature of life. The most awakened people...would probably not even be recognized. You see one of the biggest barriers to awakening...is personal success. Money, fame, fortune, status, etc. make awakening REALLY TOUGH. As a result some of the most awakened beings....could literally be homeless beggars and you would never know.

There are some practices you can do to understand what is meant by Reality is Infinite. Close your eyes....now imagine a road...walk that road. Notice....you can walk that road in your mind....forever. Now open your eyes....notice that when you close your eyes and open them, the screen you are seeing...is wider than your head. So your mind CANNOT be in your head. This means your mind....is the screen that you are viewing. As such your brain is IN YOUR MIND, your body is IN YOUR MIND, everything is IN YOUR MIND. Now close your eyes.....notice nothing is OUTSIDE of your mind at anytime. Open them again. This means your POV is ABSOLUTE because nothing can be FOUND outside of it. Now the relative aspect comes into the fact that any person you communicate with or anything you perceive only has an identity in RELATION to you. So you are the absolute...and you CREATE relativity through your mind. Things like height, scale, time, weight, etc. Everything is always in RELATION to you. So you are both the ABSOLUTE and the RELATIVE. This is what is being pointed too. Once you awaken to what this is....you realize...you are TOTALITY. Here are some videos that can help you with this if you struggle with visualization. SIT AND WATCH THIS FOR HOURS AND IT MAY START TO CLICK FOR YOU. If you are open to this information.

As long as you place that limitation on yourself that will be your reality. Why not challenge yourself to remove your bias?

The biggest issue humans have is they are selfish. We have heard from small that "Sharing is caring." God is that which shares its love with itself through its creation. This means God does not make a distinction between giving and receiving. If humanity wants to align itself with God's will the giving and sharing should flow. When you are in need, ask of others freely. When you are able give of yourself freely. This is how humanity will show their love for God by showing their love for each other. The word CARE is the best word to describe Love. Care is dedication. Care is attention. Care is concentration. Care is contemplation. Care is legacy. Notice when you are angry at something you say the phrase "I don't care about that." Notice the emotional damage you can receive when someone close to you tells you "I don't care about you." If you want to personify God, within your capacity give and ask freely without guilt or shame. Never feel bad for asking for help, and never feel superior for giving. Our current issue in our society is we praise giving and demonize asking. We need to change this, so we can properly understand what love is. Love is an Absolute Caring, that gives of itself and receives itself because it is Absolutely Good and why would you want to keep that which is Absolutely Good to yourself? Share it freely.

You are love. Pick a day and time and go do something for someone without expecting anything in return. Upon completion a certain feeling will arise within you. That feeling will be Self-Love. Now take that feeling and magnify it. Focus on where your heart organ is supposed to be. Put your hand on your chest like your saying some National Anthem and say "I love myself, I love every part of me. My flaws my strengths, my appearance, my correct decisions and my mistakes." As you say this think of all the hard work you put in from small till now. Allow that feeling to radiate your whole body from your head to your toe. THIS IS THE BLOSSOMING OF YOUR LOVE. Now choose to live a life where you give freely of yourself without expecting anything in return. THIS is how you discover the GOD within you. This is the path of devotion. It is the MOST DIRECT PATH to awakening to yourself as God.

Osho would agree LOL.

Unpack this superficial you speak of?

Can someone close this thread please? I'm so tired of people who don't do the work coming on here and wasting time with all this questioning of Solipsism. If you are questioning it then you haven't experienced ONENESS. ONENESS dissolves all boundaries. In fact Science has already confirmed Solipsism. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-universe-is-not-locally-real-and-the-physics-nobel-prize-winners-proved-it/#:~:text=Under quantum mechanics%2C nature is,-than-light communication.) What this means is there is no distance between anything. Scale doesn't exist, distance doesn't exist, space doesn't exist, time doesn't exist. These are all expressions of your mind you dream up to construct a reality. As such if you deconstruct your mind with Solipsism in mind you can REALIZE ONENESS. What is true is you have known duality your entire life NO SOLIPSISM. You look at solipsism from the ego standpoint, that solipsism is DUALISTIC. ABSOLUTE SOLIPSISM says there is NO SUBJECT/OBJECT RELATIONSHIP. It says....there is no separation and everything is direct. To put in terms you can understand.....you are always kissing reality. All parts of you is fully connected so much that there is ONLY ONE BEING. You can become so conscious when watching a Youtube video of Leo that his words are your words, his eyes are your eyes, his lips are your lips, his ears are your ears. You can even smell his breath if your consciousness raises enough. THIS IS AWAKENING. THIS IS WHAT ABSOLUTE SOLIPSISM points too. This isn't some beginning awakening. Majority of humankind has NOT awoken to this. Nor do they know the methodology to do it, and even if they knew it they are too attached to being an individual.

Why are all these threads so got damn egoic? Arguing about awakening...is just ego. Its turning this into a competition and creating criteria. Look it's simple. When you fully awaken you will know. Nobody has to tell you because you know. The clue is you will have a direct realization that everything is you. Like really YOU. You will know without a shadow of doubt that everyone on the forums is YOU. When we say YOU we don't mean your individual ego self, we mean that feeling of I exist is the same feeling that everything feels. The grass, the birds, and people you meet. Once you discover that the feeling of existence that you feel as yourself is the SAME, the same feeling you feel when you open your eyes in the morning and become AWAKE, that same feeling is EXACTLY the same with all of existence THEN you are awake. It can first be a glimpse, but with concentration that glimpse can become a permanent state. That's it. It is not going to change your financial life, emotional life, you are still going to be the same person. But what it will change is how you perceive life. You will never perceive it the same way. Now there are some perks that can come with it. A calmer mind, a body that feels smoother, music, food, and life itself can be felt more vibrant, more intimate. Some people have increases in range of perception.
