Hmm, at some point yes, of course, like thinking that if you hit your head really hard, you go unconscious. But then I started to understand consciousness directly, through practicing meditation with the sole intention of trying to know what I was, who I was, and what the hell is actually going on in the universe. I remember a particular deep meditation session, I remained still, and could see that beyond my body, and beyond my mind, there I was. The I am. I am consciousness. I am Awareness. unconsciousness cannot exist, not because I say so, but because there is nothing outside consciousness.

once you see it you cannot unsee it! epic

I think Leo is saying is that consciousness varies in degree — it's like a dimmer switch, not an on-off button. Sleep is a state of reduced consciousness, not heightened or transcendent consciousness. Being in deep sleep is the absence of awareness, not a peak form of it. Peak consciousness, on the other hand, means being fully present, highly aware, and deeply connected, such as during moments of enlightenment, intense focus, or deep meditation. That’s a state where your awareness expands, not vanishes.

ok

did you even watch the video?

You are fooling yourself if you think the words you say are yours

it is perfectly fine if that only state that exists is actual and absolute infinity. but you have to awaken to infinity to understand this.

I never even mentioned value. Limited perspective is limited perspective. Survival is survival. Your mind is in survival mode trying to defend the lack of understanding of Love. Love is not just a romantic thing. Love is the very fabric of existence. and when you don't recognize this, you become super skeptical, but not enough. you can be skeptic of your own skepticism too. Where love is expressed the most, that's where the perspective gets a higher degree.

huh? can you rephrase?

Pointing to love is not just labelling. Love is an absolute.

what?

You are really not getting it. Maybe he can be a little more explanatory

By the amount of love, understanding and imagination. If your parents beat the shit out of you when you were growing up, in order for you to understand some particular thing or to teach you a lesson, you can see that their perspective is rather limited. this shows little understanding and imagination. If your parents feed you, take you to school and encourage you to be your best and teach you by carefully understanding what you need, then you can see a more advanced and higher perspective. this shows more understanding and love. I hope this example illustrates that there is Higher and Lower perspectives. WITHIN THE WOLRD OF APPEARANCES. GOD is not within the world of appearance, all appearance is within God. Even the low perspectives. Because God has no bias. The source is Infinite.

also, please please use commas! it is very hard to read a sentence that is 19130 words long.

whatever I say, it won't get through. it seems you already made your mind. what the mushrooms can do is shake the dirt and show the truth, again, if you ask politely and prepare your body. my words mean nothing when your mind is this closed.

the mushrooms can tell you how! but you have to be nice and ask politely.

First step: you are awareness, you are the witness of experience Second step: you are that in which all experience arises third one: we are all one, things and people. one, single, reality. Your reasoning is stepping in the way of knowing this directly osaid

in order to perceive the world in a subject-object relationship, distinctions must be imagined. but this does not contradict the fact that the source of the imagination is infinity itself, with no opposites.

There is what it Appears to be, and there is what it Actually is. When you make the distinction between them two, it does not make BOTH of them actually real. Maybe you are confusing concepts in your mind and truth itself.

Furthermore, You can dream that you are in reality and that you are not dreaming that you are in reality. Also, you can imagine that in this reality, you go to sleep, have a crazy dream, wake up, and live an entire life. Only to, at some point, realize that you can also remember that you were dreaming it up all along.

But in the limit, both higher and lower consciousness would be part of the same infinite consciousness.

Ohh...

"But Leo, the dream I had last night was loosey goosey! this reality right now feels real, and no crazy things are happening" This is the first thing that people tell me when I tell them reality is like a dream. Even though I know it is, I would love to know what could be a good reply to this.

Aha, so if you are not a materialist, what do you think reality is made of ? how does nothing "an entity" create a simulation ? how did you come to this conclusion, you seem pretty certain of it.
