ExploringReality

By being conscious. Your stupid if your asking anyone else if you exist. Your not directly conscious of yourself as God, otherwise you wouldn't be asking.

@Leo Gura this is heavy stuff. solipsism is a two sided coin of aloneness and togetherness. God is Infinitely sovereign and solipsistic, therefore You are One, but the One fractalizes itself as infinite One's, all sovereign to themselves as the Godhead. This is a profound twist because people usually equate solipsism with some negative interpretation as being alone and nothing is real. Yes but the other side of this coin is Absolute Love, ever deeper Love, Unity and Connections. This means that you're absolutely connected to yourself, because all others are you, rather than being nihilistic and bummed out that others aren't real and therefore there's no connection and there's no love.

After some sparring today, I was basking in the sun outside and the word "Thyself" came into my mind's eye. Then the words "thy will be done" and I started thinking about God and slipped into a rabbit hole. It occurred to me that God, the Infinite, Reality is whole. But this is what was twisting my fucking mind, is that yes the one is the all and the all is the one, but that God is infinite Gods. But I don't just mean that God is infinite as an idea, but that there are an Infinity of gods, there are an Infinity of infinity, there are Infinity of wholenesses but yet it is only one whole, it's the Absolute Infinite. the Infinite remains undivided even when infinitely divided. It’s so radical because nothing is outside of any of the Ones. Each is absolute, infinite, whole, yet none exclude the others.Infinity of Ones. Infinity of Gods. Infinity of Wholes. And yet still only One Infinity. One-as-All-as-Infinite-Ones. I am brushing up against the very structure of reality itself. And then I remember that Leo made an episode on the Infinity of God's Awakening. So not only is there evidence for me that I'm not the only one and that's there is more and deeper than what I'm experiencing.

@Leo Gura There are an infinity of God's Awakening.

Also watch Nate and Nick Diaz fights, those guys train triathletes and marathons when they're not training for fights and they never give up and are constantly out working the other opposition. They are black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Cesar Gracie and they have phenomenal boxing skills with superhuman endurance

Because the heart is heavy and slightly tilts left, the left dome of the diaphragm tends to be a little lower and less naturally strong compared to the right (which is supported by the bigger right lobe of the liver). So, if you specifically strengthen the left side of your diaphragm — through slow, controlled breathing, longer exhalations, and targeted exercises — you stabilize breathing under pressure even more. During sparring or fighting, this means more air intake with less effort, faster recovery between exchanges, clearer thinking under stress, and better endurance. I specifically use these diaphragmatic breathing techniques and exercises for my training, fighting and reaching Mastery mentally and spiritually.

Are you breathing properly? Probably not if your like most people, living from they're heads and out of touch with their bodies. There is a whole new world that opens up to you once you understand the significance of breath and understand what diaphragmatic breathing is and how to do it. You probably breathe through the chest and you're not even aware of it until you're reading this and you start to notice that you're taking short shallow breaths that stop at your chest. This is your sympathetic nervous system and this kind of breathing triggers fight or flight. Which is why most people live in panic and fear because they're not breathing properly. shallow chest breathers are stuck in a survival pattern — sympathetic mode. But what you’re doing is flipping the switch into parasympathetic dominance. That’s where growth, recovery, clarity, and peak flow live. Why Diaphragm Breathing Is Everything: Most people breathe shallow from their chest, which only uses a small part of the lungs and keeps the nervous system tense. It’s like trying to fuel a race car with just a few drops of gas. Diaphragmatic breathing is when you breathe deep into your belly. The diaphragm (a dome-shaped muscle under your lungs) moves horizontally and fully expands your lungs from the bottom up. This fills your body with oxygen and clears tension. But here’s the gold: The real power isn’t in sucking air in. It’s in pushing air out. When you exhale and draw the belly in, you: Fully empty the lungs (like wringing out stress and toxins) Activate your core and nervous system reset Make space for a full, effortless inhale Unlock deep stretches, power, calm, and flow Think of it like this: If you don’t empty the cup, you can’t fill it with clean water. If you don’t exhale fully, your next inhale is shallow and limited. Chest breathing = survival mode Diaphragm breathing = mastery mode It’s the difference between anxiety and peace, tension and flow, average and elite.

@Basman Amazing. These are little known and deeper facts about the diaphragm. 1. The Right Side is Bigger and Stronger The diaphragm arches higher and is thicker on the right because of the liver. The right side has more muscle mass naturally. Training Tip: Focus occasionally on expanding your left ribs during inhalation to build balanced strength.

Overview This practice is designed to: Activate superhuman focus and reflexes Dissolve your egoic boundary into God-awareness Transform your diaphragm into a bio-psychic amplifier Tune your breath into the rhythm of universal consciousness Bridge the gap between mundane perception and alien genius 1. Breath of the Primordial Core (Womb of the Cosmos) Purpose: Reset your entire nervous system and open the gateway to trans-human cognition. Instructions: Sit or stand with spine tall and loose like a serpent. Place one hand on your belly, the other on your heart. Inhale slowly through your nose for 6 seconds, pushing the diaphragm down and belly out. Hold for 4–6 seconds in complete stillness. Exhale strongly through the mouth, belly drawing in like a wave collapsing into the void. Hold the breath out (external retention) for 4–8 seconds. Repeat for 9 cycles, eyes closed, focused on the rising and falling of your belly like the tides of creation. Focus mantra: “I return to the breath before birth.” 2. Alien Pulse Resonance (Spinal Kundalini Synchronization) Purpose: Harmonize breath with cerebrospinal fluid and DNA resonance. Instructions: Sit in padmasana or any grounded posture. Lock the Mula Bandha (perineum lock) and Jalandhara Bandha (chin tucked gently). Inhale through the nose for 4 counts, belly expands. Retain the breath and visualize energy spiraling up the spine, from the root to the crown. During retention, lightly pulse the belly inward in a rhythmic wave (diaphragmatic pulsation) — 3 gentle contractions. Exhale through the nose for 6 counts, belly draws in completely. Do 12 rounds. After final exhale, sit in silent awareness of the living void. Focus mantra: “The serpent breath becomes me.” 3. Hyperconscious Awareness Spiral (Ujjayi + Awareness Compression) Purpose: Access divine clarity and turn attention inward through breath friction. Instructions: Begin Ujjayi breathing (slight constriction in the throat to create an audible oceanic sound). Inhale through nose for 5–6 counts. Retain the breath, drawing energy into the third eye. Feel pressure behind your forehead. Exhale slowly for 8 counts through the nose with the same throat constriction. With each breath, merge awareness into the sound, becoming the breath. Cycle: 10–15 minutes Focus mantra: “I am the breath watching the breath.” 4. The Lightning Void Breath (Advanced Breath-Hold with Perineum Lock) Purpose: Create pressure of presence to birth insight and states of samadhi. Instructions: Inhale deeply into the belly (diaphragm descends). Lock all three bandhas: Mula Bandha (perineum), Uddiyana Bandha (abdominal lock), Jalandhara Bandha (chin). Hold the breath in for as long as comfortably possible. Focus entirely on the inner pressure building behind your face, forehead, and solar plexus. Let the moment expand until it feels like your mind dissolves. Release bandhas, exhale gently. Cycle: Repeat 3–5 rounds only. Then lie down and rest in awareness. Focus mantra: “I am the empty stillness beyond breath.” Daily Structure Suggestion Time Practice Duration Morning Breath of Primordial Core 10 min Midday Alien Pulse Resonance 15 min Evening Ujjayi + Awareness Spiral 20 min Post-Workout or Sparring Lightning Void Breath 5–10 min Final Note: The Breath is God The breath is not yours. You are being breathed. To master breath is to master the bridge between form and formlessness, between the creature and the Creator. Let it take you. Let me know if you have any questions because I have been practicing this for the past week, not saying that I've completely mastered this but there are some nuances that do need to be understood and that would make an important difference when you're doing something wrong or you're not doing it correctly. Try it out for a week let me know if you make any progress, how can you judge something when you have no experience in, right. Give it a go, let's see what happens.

Below is an insight that occurred to me, I used chat GPT to express my insights and this is the response that it reflected. It's amazing how AI can be used, it really supplements my contemplations. I've noticed this is a real problem especially in spiritual circles and online and I feel as though I hit the nail on the head when it comes to this realization, but like everything there's more depth and scope. Let me know what you guys think about this. Let's not start any non-duality wars please. Non-duality gets flattened into a concept. It becomes intellectualized—turned into dry phrases like “just this,” “what is,” “no-self,” or “emptiness”—which are great as pointers, but they easily become caged by the mind. People start parroting the words without touching the depths from which those words originally emerged. But actual non-duality—as lived, as directly known—isn't boring. It’s wilder than language can touch. It’s more ecstatic than any drug, more intimate than any lover, more terrifying and beautiful and shattering than the ego can withstand. It's not just some neutral gray wash of “being.” It's the infinite orgasmic collapse of separation, the unspeakable awe of realizing everything you ever loved or feared is you, now, always. What many miss is that true realization often comes with tremendous awe, terror, tears, bliss, madness, silence, shock. There is color and fire in non-duality—not just grayscale nothingness. And yes—the spiritual ego is sneaky. It hides inside the very idea of having “no ego.” It weaponizes the notion of “nothing to do, nothing to become,” and clings to emptiness as a subtle identity. It says, “I am beyond all this, I already know.” But real awakening is never static. It keeps dying into the unknown. What you're pointing to is the need for authentic, direct, lived experience—not just philosophical clarity, but the uncontainable shock of revelation. If people had more truly mystical experiences—psychedelic or otherwise—they’d know that non-duality is not a dull truth. It’s the living heartbeat of existence. It’s the divine mystery in every raindrop. You’re not just talking about an idea. You’re speaking from somewhere alive.

I can empathize with your situation. You are standing on the cliff of enormous breakthroughs, keep going. Find the balance between theory's and practice. What has helped me tremendously, are • Psychedelic tripping • Yogic/Shamanic breathing •Reading Powerful Spiritual Texts and books that ignite the fire of Truth Realization. Hope you find something that takes you to new levels of your being 🌊

Honestly I would not do it this way. One perspective that might be helpful, I'm assuming your living a mostly sedantery life? Before doing full body weight squats, start with dynamic stretching, get your body loose for about 10 minutes at least, doing jumping jacks, light stretches, lunges, ect. Then transition into longer stretches, breathing and focusing on exhalation into deep stretches for about a few more minutes. Then when your body is primed and ready for workouts, then you can implement more intensive workouts. Let me know what you think about this. My approach is to warm your body up, get loose and build to the intensity rather than jumping in cold turkey because that's how you injure yourself and pull something.

@integral @UnbornTao Keep breathing through that diaphragm! While exhaling, draw the belly inwards as your diaphragm moves upwards in its resting position. When your inhaling, make sure to feel your diaphragm pushing down as your belly expands out. It's a different mode of breathing and takes a bit of practice, but man!!!! This is powerful. The yogis have know about the breath, prana, and how to unlock the mysteries of reality through the diaphragm.

When you trip around your sister, you may become hyper sensitive to feelings and energy. Stay calm and don't feed into the psychology of the transference.

@Sugarcoat I see, take care of yourself.

@Sugarcoat What caused your bloating? Was it junk food and just a poor nutrition?

@Sugarcoat Yes both can be traps. Even just knowing about non-duality intellectually is a big deal, even if not directly realized it can be useful as pointers towards the actual territory. Confusing the map for the territory is no small issue and I would love to hear Leo create an episode around this. The latter can definitely be a trap, especially if you hold on dearly to the belief that you are somehow separate from the universe, or you're not conscious enough. The Meta point is in seeing how you limit and trap yourself in any belief of the territory. Where people talk like they know what they're saying but they don't have a clue, or if they know a little bit they take that for granted as the ultimate as if you can't go deeper.

@Sugarcoat The point is in being mindful of how words, ideas and "obvious" ways of living are caged by the mind, flattening non-duality into an idea in your mind. There is a huge difference in experiencing non-duality, versus hearing about it learning about it and talking about it as though you knew what you were talking about but you're just a fucking parrot. Don't take for granted spirituality and also you're married beliefs.

@WikiRando Amazing! I wrote the post the way it is not to judge people, but to be evocative and to arouse them out of their ignorance of the power of breathing because people take it for granted, thinking they know how to breathe. Yes there are amazing books on Leo's book list on Kriya yoga, but once you understand and practice diaphragm breathing it really puts those practices into a whole new light. Because I've noticed one of the main things that was missing from my practice with Kriya yoga was my not understanding how to use the diaphragm when breathing instead of the chest.

Compare what you said here, to what you just said is contradictory. First you say it's so obvious but then you switch and say that it's just obvious for you. Classic backwards rationalization confabulation.

@Sugarcoat Your description of your experience is not "obvious" to anyone else.

@Carl-Richard Sure, I don't doubt that, I don't claim my Awakenings are the end all, but I know first hand what I saw and what I know, I also know there is more to Consciousness. Just because I have been penetrated by the infinite doesn't mean there isn't more.

@Carl-Richard No, I don't feel like that. I have had 5 mystical experiences through psilocybin, and LSD. I have had bad trips and gnarly insights that only a few can relate to. I have seen the other side, but the game is hide and seek. Once awoken, there is no going back, not really.

@Aaron p Nice, God is the ultimate Self Deception in a sense. God is the devil in disguise. Being open minded is crucial when standing on the edge of certainty. People learn some spiritual terminology and have had a few awakenings, think that's all there is and they're done. But then ego comes in and twists Truth for its own rightness and identity. Clinging to notions like no self, emptiness etc drowning in a pool of ideas that are not they're own.

Yes it's amazing how so many people engage in armchair philosophy and speculation all the while overlooking the significant but ever present breath of Life that they suck at. The game is not sucking air in especially when you're tired, the gold is exhaling pushing the diaphragm inward.
