I like to enter into no mind when I do basic chores, walk from place A to B or just need a rest from too much thinking.

Buddhism is equally guilty. You listened to some buddhist and thought negative terms would somehow solve this issue. You would conjure them up anyway, the mind has a deep tendency to fill in the gaps that it doesn't know with fantasy. --- I was trying to make a very very subtle point, which is that the methodology is NOT Awakening. Meditation is not Awakening, Yoga is not Awakening, Psychedelics is not Awakening... Only Awakening IS Awakening. You need spirituality but today I've come to deconstruct it.

A crude realization that humbles me everytime is the supremacy of Feeling over the rest of human functions that make life worthwhile. It doesn't matter if you are a billionary or you have the perfect spouse or all the free time in the world, whatever, you name it. If you are sick for example and feel miserable, life is an horror. That's it, full stop. I'm currently sick and everytime I am, it humbles me because I have built this amazing life but all is gone in an instant, surely it's temporary, but one would hope for an eternal abode of safety and peace but the truth is we are very contingent to how we feel and to our health. So always keep this lesson in mind, happines and human life is as fragile as a delicate bubble flying in a tornado.

This is a killer insight. I wanted to give you proper credit. It explains why feeling is so fundamental.

Sure they do, the biggest historical killer of the colonizations were not the militars or slave owners but the diseases that they brought to the new continent.

This is the kind of fantasy that I wanted you to be prevented from. I've been there, then you fall sick and you get a reality-check

Not even thoughts can overpower feeling. I don't let my mind go to negative thought spirals too much even in bad feeling states but a positive mind doesn't make it much better, it just makes it not worse. This is the harsh truth and somehow unless you feel really bad, it's taken for granted.

Nothing serious, just a pain in the ass. It's a strong kid's virus that I got from Disneyland Paris. A cold rainy day and lots of kids sneezing in a foreign country. Yep, it's something my immune system was not prepared for.

So interesting, I'll start now

So does higher levels of equanimity, lack of bias and being free of like and dislake equate to a less dense ego?

I was thinking what are the most famous individuals on planet earth's history? I was surprised to see the obvious fact that nobody remembers the great kings, celebrities or even geniuses quite much. How much time do you spend thinking about Julius Caesar Augustus, Abraham Lincoln, Leonardo da Vinci or Euler? Not very much and most people don't care either. Yet, what about those beings that wanted to Awaken, become more conscious, unite with God and find Truth? We see that they are still very relevant in the lifes of millions of people around the world. Individuals like Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, Abraham, Mahavira or Adi Shankara are the most popular, even shaping the worldview of almost all Humanity, quite literally. Which then resulted in a gross contradiction in my understanding of humanity. If I see that humans don't really care about Awakening or God, why then those who have attained Great Awakening and God-Union are the most worshiped, glorified and remembered? I'm quite uncertain and ask for your understanding on the question. As a preliminary answer, it seems that despite the human ego and layers of delusion, there is a calling in each finite figment of Reality to reunite and realize its always already True Infinite nature.

I see it in a similar way as well For me they are permutations that happen within the Infinite possibility Space of Reality

Pretty cool, do you recommend any in particular?

So you value more locked states of consciousness more than peak states? Although I don't see how stillness/emptiness/nothingness is always present and not subject to temporality? It's not like consciousness which can be always spotted and present, which is life itself. What is your present experience right now? could you tell me honestly?

You cannot reduce down Truth, Infinity and Consciousness to silence, emptiness or stillness.

Why would you put such limits onto reality? At every level one can realize truth: in the being dimension, in the experience dimension, in the understanding dimension, in the feeling dimension...

Definetely silence not as answer I honestly can't fathom how one realizes Infinity and silence to end up picking thoughtlessness/silence as the ultimate. It doesn't compute. If you mean that after all, silence is all that remains because what else is there to communicate, that's another thing. But to claim silence as the Absolute for me it's absurd.

I disagree You are imagining both your birth and what happened before it Moreover, you have never ever experienced deep sleep. You enter into bed at night and then suddendly have a change of scenary when you wake up with feelings of time having passed, but there is never an experience of deep sleep. It's like going to sleep in minecraft, it's just a frame switch in the Infinite Field of Imagination and it does so in a coherent way, like in a videogame, you are trying to absolutize a moment that doesn't even exist because it's nothing at all. By this point, I doubt you experienced Infinite Consciousness. There are many prerequistes that you do not fulfill. We're not talking about the same thing.

Why experience is from the human mind? I agree with thoughts and feelings as part of the human mechanism, but experience is a consciousness feature. That is important. What made you arrive to the conclusion that silence is the most important and highest truth, more than Infinity or the God-Head?

@James123 What do you mean by mind? What is mind? Why is mind good or bad, what limitations it has? Human mind or Universal Mind? I don't see the connection. Please help me see it. For me silence is just the absence of sound. I put on some earplugs, go to my meditation seed and be in silence. That removes the knot contraction of self-talk in my head and that's all there is to it. What is silence for you and why is it so important in your understanding of Reality?

I love you too. I think you're doing amazing work. I just feel it's also my duty to point you towards higher truths as that is what I would have loved to receive when I was in that position and what I want to receive from people when they see my blindspots.

Keep it clean We are all together to find truth. Collective Intelligence is important in this process.

Of course I'm Infinity Never claimed that, please sharpen your mind. So is silence an illusion and all your loved believes about Reality, yet you are so attached to them. Reality is an Infinite Imagination field and it is sentient and alive, this is God. Have you tried 5meos? I find it hard to reach the God states I talk about with other psychedelics. It's your best shot but even then, there are no guarantees. It may not have worked for you but that doesn't mean I'm not talking truth, it just means you may have been unlucky so keep trying as all those who care about truth do everyday.

Silence can only get you to a certain point of consciousness and awareness. It has a limitation in its methodological approach, just by silence you can only get so far. That's what I discovered after deep silence. Although, how skilful are you with silence? I'm sure you haven't even exhausted the depths of silence, let alone go beyond it. The believe is in: Silence=Truth Silence=Consciousness Silence=God But you see, that's not neceseraly always the case and not at the deepest levels possible. Moreover, you didn't even came up yourself with the appreciation of silence, you just believed some buddhist and then trapped yourself into not using your mind to contemplate that you may be wrong.

That's an egoic trap. How do I know??? I uttered the same words that you did, I believed exactly the same you did and then one day you get humbled and blessed with higher consciousness and Truth.
