ExploringReality

Enlightenment can easily turn into a concept and a sneaky way to identify ourselves as. What is solipsism really? Solipsism isn't your current ego stripped away from the world and only you remain, like Will Smith in "I am legend" metaphorically speaking. Solipsism is an Awakening to yourself as what there always has been. Not your survival and life, You are literally imagining all of existence and reality right now and you don't even know it!! Ego isn't running the show, God is. You are not separate from it but you are mistaken that you are, so you can experience that you are not the whole of Existence , that you are separate with a mortal life. We have this limited subjective first person experience among many others, and we cling, attach and identify with this bubble of experience and try to maintain that for the purposes of our persistence and survival, then we expand this identity outwardly and include more and more into our selves and expand our identity, then finally we realize after including all of reality into our selves and not just identifying with our personal ego and reality, but that it goes full circle that all of it is myself. There is only One. But One isn't a relative polarity from manyness, it's the unification of alllll dualities, all selves, all others!

What do you mean by self? And what do you mean by solipsism?

Define Enlightenment please.

I have not. It seems like an absolutely mind boggling and metaphysically terrifying combination. If you do it, take good notes and tell us about it.

@Nemra After ever taking LSD, within my visual field, from above there are potential lines of hallucinations that fountain out and glide down my visual field into a myriad of potential hallucinations. Have you ever tripped really hard on LSD in one spot and your entire visual field becomes non-physical? That's exactly what I have even after taking LSD although it's not as intense and boundary dissolving, my reality is intact but you know when they say once you trip the psyche could never go back.

You and davino are one of my favorites along with lamdadelta. I had a dream that we were all at a table drinking tea and talking into the moonlight

Study what narscissm is and what BPD is. Study mental illness in relationships, not saying he is narcissistic but if you notice patterns, lack of accountability, blame shifting, denial, lack of self reflection and low empathy, try to recenter yourself and own your version of reality regardless if he sees it differently, you seem like someone who seeks feedback and is open to learning and self reflective, continue that but don't sacrifice your perception for his. Agree to disagree, stand your ground. I cannot tell you what to do with your relationship, but your need for the relationship can be used by him as power and leverage for his narrative.

I want to create a stockpile of examples of all the ways social media has been exploited, polluted and warped by cultural and societal programming . Examples of how people get duped and exploited by social media influencers and content creators and bullshit in general Whatever examples you think are stark and also tie into how humans are conformist sheep that don't think for themselves, Share them. One example is YouTube comments specifically. Notice what gets the most clicks, replies, the YouTube comments section is a giant cesspool of epistemic garbage that everyone swims in. There are literally eco worlds and eco chambers you can go through just on comments there. Share specific examples, ones that put out bullshit on display to observe and deconstruct. What are all the ways we abuse and corrupt social media in the ways we use it?

Any fine teacher who's done hardcore psychedelics is worth an ear

I'm listening to his YouTube videos and he's teaching from the Absolute. He can trigger a recognition of the Absolute within you. His words point back to states I accessed myself. He has a beautiful teaching style and cuts through egoic bullshit.

Interesting. You found the man behind the man. There is a healthy degree of scepticism, however this guy is certainly on the dime, he is definitely the one behind satana gatama, his flow and presence is very precise and eloquent

@Leo Gura Explain what you mean by how badly we handle this topic. Your episode is very dense and is very sprawling, there's so much juice that just watching it once or twice isn't enough, there is always going to be more that went over my head

Consciousness has locked itself into specific self-states with limited identities per fraction of consciousness, so Solipsism is the breakdown of illusory existential boundaries and dualities constructed by a finite piece of consciousness into your own formless and infinite nature

@Natasha Tori Maru happy new years love

I love this!
