  1. OK, another nice abstract idea. Don't get me wrong, guys, your ideas are beautiful and arguably practically useful, at least compared to the mainstream materialism. But that alone does not make them to be the "Truth". What makes you guys think that the "Truth" or "Ultimate Reality" can be knowable or available for direct experience? What if Kant was right and the Reality is "a thing in itself" beyond the reach of our conscious experience or our intellect?
  2. “Infinite Absolute that encompasses all there is and all that can possibly be” is only an abstract idea. It is in principle impossible to have a factual raw experience of the actual infinity of “all there is”, no matter how much DMT you take. The content of any conscious experience is always finite, it's an undeniable fact of our direct conscious experience, even though there are no limits to it that can be experientially found. But the absence of limits is not the same as the actual infinity; the former is the fact of experience, the latter is an abstract idea.
  3. Leo, you fail to see that it's still a belief, which is currently in your blind spot. I've been through all this awakening stuff: "I am That", "Consciousness is all there is", experiential realization etc. It's a good stuff, it helps to disintegrate the dualistic perception. But it's not the final destination, only a stage, a belief system. You can move beyond it, but only if you are open to it. It's like a needle to remove a splinter, but once you remove it, you don't need the needle anymore. The only actual fact of experience is this: what we actually directly experience is only a finite flow of phenomenal qualia in our field of direct conscious experience at the instance of now that always happens with awareness of the qualia. We do not know anything beyond this simple and direct fact of experience. This is it! Any other understanding, labeling or interpretation of this fact, such as "I am Absolute Truth", "This is Infinity of All There is" or alike, is just another idea, another mental quale appearing in this flow of phenomena.
