To ask the question who implies separation. Aloneness is already this without question.

You’re missing the point James. Ramana didn’t say that, it’s an appearance of someone saying something, it’s the solipsistic dream appearing as itself.

End implies beginning. This belongs to the dream. And the dream is all there is. Anything is possible in the dream as potential is infinite. Solipsism is another word for without beginning nor end, all alone, all one. No inside, no outside, no opposition, no argument, no other. Just this irrefutably impossible to negate or experience the absence of. Leo is correct.

This is very intelligently thought out. It’s impeccable and well articulated. I agree on all points you’ve made. My own personal logic shows me that you need an ego to get rid of an ego. Same goes for thoughts, and the mind, to get rid of them, one first has to have them. So yes, you are well on point in your op. What’s so pitifully stupid about your op? I can’t see it. Try not to be self defeating or self sabotaging, why doubt yourself when all you can do is express yourself the only way you know how according to your own experience as and through your own personal lens of perception. You’re doing well. We’re all doing the exact same expression of ourselves into the nature of being. You are the only author of your reality you know. Just be yourself unapologetically because there is no one like you, only you live as you. And your knowledge comes from the exact same source as everyone else’s knowledge so never doubt your own knowledge as inferior to someone else’s. That’s the stupid part okay. 😊

Even the statement “Being reveals itself “ implies a division. Solipsist is just another word for everything, or reality, or this, which is without doubt or error irrefutably a fact as direct experience. Solipsist is not a “me” or a “someone “ No, that’s division. There is only this Solipsistic reality one without a second. You already are this. Solipsistic reality cannot tell itself it is solipsistic without dividing itself into two, into knower and known. Solipsistic reality is all there is, it doesn’t need to tell itself it’s solipsistic, it is already this all one, alone, illuminating present. Solipsism is the absolute and there is only the absolute. Some of you posters just haven’t grasped the truth of what Solipsism actually is yet. I agree it’s difficult to hear, but it’s also very simple and easy to hear. Leo is correct about Solipsism.

Okay, I’ll give it some consideration. I’ll get back here when time allows of course. Your reaction isn’t dumb, it’s just probably frustration that’s all, it’s a self perpetuating habit that most people indulge in when communicating with others especially when it’s of a metaphysical nature.

Part of working on yourself is to not get triggered by how others respond to you. You have no control how people respond to you, but you do have control over whether to be triggered or reactionary. I personally don’t believe spirituality is anti human. If it is then it’s misguided spirituality imo. I don’t think spirituality is in denial of the human experience do you? Is that what this thread topic is dealing with or not?

I’m pleased to hear you are doing the work, that’s important. That’s all I was emphasising, how important it is to do the work for ourselves. I would love nothing more than to share the work here on this thread with you and others. Do you have a question for me?

I’ve only just today discovered this thread. So haven’t given it much attention yet. I don’t mind talking about the thread topic actually , but I thought I’d just do some reading here first. I responded to that one post because I agreed with the principle that was being pointed out to you that’s all. Asking questions and asking for clarification is how I roll. I personally don’t want to become doubtful or argumentative with other posters just because I don’t understand what they are talking about. That’s why I’m asking questions a lot, and then also answering questions a lot in the anticipation that a mutual understanding is reached and that can only occur by asking for clarification and not just being reactionary by misunderstanding, or misinterpreting something you’re hearing.

I agree with the advice given. Which is to do the work yourself. I’m not a mod and yet that’s my motto too.

Ok I understand what you are showing me here, but what about in the dream. Why can’t the dream within the empty awareness be the appearance of a solipsistic nature due to the dream being inseparable from the dreamer? I’m simply trying to grasp Leo’s Solipsism idea, having watched the solipsism video several times, I kind of get it, I agree with Leo on the idea.

Do you mean there’s nothing beyond the prison walls of the mind?

I’m posting because I enjoy participating on the Leo Gura forum. It’s a form of entertainment.

Why can’t One Truth or Awareness itself be just another word for Solipsism?

I have no argument with myself.

Excellent advice. “ I can do nothing for you but work on myself. You can do nothing for me except work on yourself “

@James123 Does One Truth mean Solipsism?

Every question demands an answer. No word can define or describe pure consciousness/ pure being/what is. Or, every word describes or defines pure consciousness/pure being/what is.

Yes, thanks for the clarification. Consciousness not being inside or outside of any thing, rather being everywhere at once as omnipresent? Eh!

The body is a non physical idea arising in consciousness? A consciousness that has no direct experience of what it feels like to be a physical body part. For example: I am conscious of a hand, but I am not that hand. And the hand knows nothing of its existence in and of itself, it’s basically just an idea in consciousness only ? Eh!

“There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading to the same place, so it doesn’t matter which path you take. The only person wasting time is the one who runs around the mountain, telling everyone that his or her path is wrong.” ~Hindu proverb

It’s true. You can’t know enlightenment, because you are enlightenment.

Definitely true. Death, or “non life” cannot be because there’s Life without doubt or error. If death was true then nothing would be alive. Consciousness, life, alive, these are just different words that mean the same identical meaning.

@James123 Lovely.
