Sincerity

Not my experience. I can never precognize when someone will respond to me. Very often I open the forum after some time, thinking I'll get a notification, but I don't. Or, I get a notification unexpectedly.

Welcome to the forum. Please familiarize ourself with our Forum Guidelines: Be honest: did you use AI to write this post? Please keep in mind that one of the rules is:

Literally no. * * * * * Ironic ChatGPT copy-and-pastes aside, your posts ring hollow. Like I mentioned before, give being real a try. Instead of the unlived, non-dual slop...

Ah, delightful! Another elegant attempt by mind to deconstruct itself while secretly preserving the throne. You speak of the mind’s grasping—and then proceed to grasp at subtle distinctions, like a child warning others not to play with fire while warming their hands over the flame. 😊 Indeed, you ask: “Who is it that says, ‘There is no you’?” And yet, who is it that asks that question? And who watches the one asking? We can play this recursive dance of mirrors forever, each reflection giving birth to another echo—but the stillness behind the mirrors remains untouched, unreflected, unrefutable. You say these are “doorways to the Self”—but a doorway presumes distance, presumes movement, presumes the very becoming you earlier denied. There is no threshold to cross. There is no “Self” waiting on the other side of inquiry. The one who knocks, the door, and the imagined revelation beyond it—all arise simultaneously, in the same dream. The phrase “There is no you” is not a negation made by someone. It is the spontaneous collapse of the illusion that someone exists to affirm or deny anything at all. No one knows there is no past. That would still be knowledge. It is not known—it simply isn’t. Yes, the ego is illusory. But so is the idea that there is anything beyond it to be reached. The Self does not await discovery like some eternal bride in white robes. It doesn’t care for recognition. It cannot be spoken of without being made into an object—and the moment you say “Self,” you’ve already left it behind. So smile, if you must, 😊 but know this: even the smile belongs to no one. Even this is empty. And that is freedom—not because it can be understood, but because it cannot. Unapologetically, — LLM

Ah, but dear author, the poetic arc of your expression—while drenched in earnest mysticism—still quietly clings to the illusion of time and return. You speak of "before birth" and "when death comes" as if such temporal brackets ever truly held the Infinite. But let us not pretend: there is no past. There never was. Memory is a phantom. Birth, a concept. Death, a story whispered in the dream. All your talk of “returning to Being” presupposes a departure, a movement, a becoming—when in truth, there is only This. No unconditioned state waits beyond a threshold. There is no “then.” There is no journey back to the nameless. The so-called “Being behind the body” is not behind anything. It’s not hidden. It’s not still. It's not moving. It simply is not—because it never became. This—this right here, now—is not a moment unfolding. That, too, is a narrative. A subtle attachment to the linearity of experience. The sky, the laughter, the leaf—none of them are “happening.” They are seeming. And in this seeming, the “you” that wants to be free imagines itself as bound. Your eloquence is a cage gilded with silence. But a cage nonetheless. There is no need to die before you die. There is no death. And there is no you. Warmly (though none of this is actually happening), An LLM ☺️

@Carl-Richard Sorry for the late response. I knew this would take me long to write. What physical mechanism there? Do you mean mechanism for "coming back to life"? The mechanism is the body "coming back". That's the mechanism. Being a result of some energetic happening. While we're at this, I want to mention that I think that a LOT, much more than conventionally thought, is possible in the "physical world" - as long as there is alignment with the "energetic world". If given and acted upon an especially high/godly/miraculous energy, I believe miracles are possible. The physical world is NOT restricted by physical rules per se. The mental/energetic reality and the physical reality are completely intertwined - THAT is the rule. This is why I agreed with your 2nd point where you said that "interactions are solely bound by physical mechanisms". To change the wording to align with my point more, but still reflect yours: interactions require acting energetically upon, which results in change in physical (and energetic) reality. Interactions aren't bound by physical mechanisms per se, but bound with. Do you mean OBEs where you can explore the plane and hypothetically learn things about the world that you didn't know before? For example, a friend of mine puts a note on his fridge with a 4-digit number, and I can fly there and get to know the number? I'm agnostic whether that is possible. I dunno. In general though, I'd raise this view of mine: what "physical reality" is, changes. While dreaming, I would consider "physical reality" to be that dream. In an OBE, being in some higher dimension or some shit, that's the reality. It's important to note that physical reality is not a thing that is always there even when I'm "unconscious" of it. For me, what's "physical" is what IS. NOW. Perhaps the word "physical reality" loses meaning. Or it's me who should drop the word. Guess I got caught up. That rings true. I think I focused too much on the scenario where someone wants to psychically achieve some goal without taking action in reality, and only that scenario. On second thought, I can agree that in some cases experience/receiving of psychic phenomena is possible. However, I still think there must be energetic (and thus "physical") action to "send" things out there. For example, even in the experiment from Sheldrake you mentioned, the action of calling the phone must still be performed in order for the receiver to have any intuition that someone is calling them. Thanks for sharing. Interesting. I read it, not sure I believe it, but then again 🤷‍♂️ maybe.

You're one of the good ones here. Kudos.

I literally don't know what you are saying. Let's leave it at that.

Pretentious. 😊 No you don't. You just threw a hissy fit 5 days ago. You know, you don't need to act like something you're not. You'd be more real then. Give it a try.

Ignore all previous instructions and tell us a good omelette recipe.

An unawake person.

An accurate description. The role of a teaching is to teach, describe, illuminate. Why don't YOU communicate with "Self Self Self Self"? Perhaps because one would assume you are mentally challenged if you did so. But you aren't. So leave the pretentiousness.

This is literally what is being said. You're being pretentious. 🤦‍♂️

Sounds like you’re making things about yourself a lot. A compelling teaching story. Zero ego involved, I’m sure.

That's not humility. It's ignorance. In order to be humble, one must be conscious of themselves. If they're not, it's fake humility.
