Sadly you lack in this department

You said you are finite and not God, I provided a quote with a contradictory claim. You also said consciousness could be measured in theory and I asked how but you never replied. @Ahbapx

So Giordano Bruno had it wrong?... "Unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God: for the like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure, by a bound free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God. Believe that nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once, times, places, substances, qualities, quantities, you may understand God." Yes a hurricane can be measured in theory but how can you measure consciousness? Which molecule to you theoretically start at?

Trippy AF

Where does it end and where does it begin?

I question this assumption. In a dream or in near death experiences people report "seeing" yet they have no eyes.

@bebotalkBad people don't exist. Only bad behaviours do.

@Clarence Yes this is a tough situation indeed. You are doing a valiant and admirable thing by stepping up and helping the people around you who need help. This experience will serve you well in the future. Hang in there, at 93 there isn't much time left and things will change soon. The universe will reward you very soon for your good deeds.

A seperate God who created the universe is also a bonkers idea. Maybe even more so. Who created this stand alone God? Wouldn't God appearing out of nowhere also be bonkers?

The Godhead works by forgetting, that's how you maintain the illusion of being human. But the Godhead has infinite memory. With 100% forgetfulness would you also experience the Godhead? Infinity=0?

Sure and also that you're God and how you created everything around you.

Leo has said it before in his videos, that in order for you to be a human you have to forget you're god. So God works by forgetting

Your true actualized being. The state you are when you do 5 meo perhaps. Or when you meditate for a long time. The most conscious state you can be. When you have infinite knowledge and infinite memory perhaps.

Yes obviously lol, but why call it love?

Ok how is a sharp nail love?

How can I find God ? And what is love? How is the gum under a table love?

Socrates said "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing". Is this true? Is this a good way to think? Can anything really be known? What are your thoughts?

Interestingly, the final phase of enlightenment in Artems teachings is "becoming a hairless ape on a rock". In one sense he could be right. Since that's what we experience. But in another sense it doesn't seem very advanced since actual monkies already live like that.

Artem was on here spamming the forum a few months ago and then got banned for calling people on here names. I often wonder if that's something an "arhat" does?

Thanks for the reply ! God is all there is. Yes, metaphysically speaking nothing can be known because there is nothing to compare all of reality to.

I would add that if you are God then you would be forced to take responsibility for all traps and deceptions. These are put there by you for enjoyment.

Socrates said he only knows that he knows nothing. Not sure how that relates to your question or life in general though.

Great video. I saw a fishing lure at the beach yesterday and made me think of how the trappings all around us!

I can't either yet....

The only ones abusing the system are the rich. Wealth disparity is at record extremes. We need more worker rights, not less. When your fridge is empty, and theirs no fuel available for your car. Until that starts happening, don't worry.
