I agree with Hojo and Leo Reality is Solipsistic. Solipsistic doesn’t mean there’s a ‘someone’ who is solipsistic. It simply means there’s nothing outside of everything. There’s just everything being nothing, or nothing being everything. That’s the true definition of solipsism.

Attachment seems to be the most problematic aspect of being self aware. Being aware of something that’s not actually there, is hard to deal with. Knowing that everything that arises here in awareness is nothing more than a fleeting mirage. I read some of (Philip Mainlanders) pessimistic philosophy where he talks about the idea that God committed suicide and that the universe is the rotting corpse of God’s body, where everything that is alive is ultimately heading for death, to be born is to be committed to a death sentence. It’s depressing for humans to be aware of their own mortality. If the brief period between two perfect nothingnesses is my illusory life, then I guess there’s nothing really special about me or others. My life was just like watching a movie where the realisation that nothing is real is what makes it all endurable I guess. Watching the movie of I can feel like being aware of my nonexistence. It’s quite stomach churning and at the same time beautifully satisfying and relieving.

Yes, all we can do is sit with the mystery. Sit with the mysterious conscious recognition that this sense of being alive can feel like the other side of a nonexistence, or the silence of death. It’s like we can experience a life after death, but we can never experience a death before life. I’m personally weirded out by this sense of existing, to be honest, sometimes I don’t like it at all, the feeling of having zero control, or will, or choice. Like I’m just a tumble weed blowing in the wind at the mercy of inhospitable mysterious forces. It’s hard to function like most people seem to do in life. Everyone acts like everything is normal. But I think everything is anything but normal. For me, life is terrifying. Being born just to die, just to suffer pain and heartbreak and misery. Then I think about the dinosaur era and what their life must have been like for millions of years. But then how do we know these creatures were ever real, where was God during that period. Nothing makes sense to me. What’s wrong with me? Thanks for the interesting replies.

Seems like God can create the most random things, things that have roamed the earth for millions of years, like dinosaurs for example, but could only know about the time period of dinosaurs when humans arrived, and not before humans?

Was / is God a forever temporary human idea?

Thanks for this Eureka moment.

Does the “observer” aspect of God have an image for the’me’? What would that image look like for the’me’?

Sorry, I didn’t see this god thread , I think we both submitted similar topic at the same time. I too was curious about the image of god, then I saw you’re thread. Just a Coincidence though.

Having truth is to rewrite the unwritten.

You left. And in leaving you finally arrived. “Don’t let all those empty people try and interfere with you’re mind. Just live you’re life and leave them all behind” ~ Black Sabbath

It all leads right back here, to your human life. When you get the message, hang up the phone.

It is important, yes,the individual does matter. It may well be a self driving car. And yes, you are this self.

Full conscious allowing of unconditionally free energetic emotions, discomfort or discordance of thoughts, ideas, feelings, reactions even, all to be just as they arise without resisting or resistance is being fully integrated and aligned with you’re true self being. Yes, everything experienced is simply you’re own energetic experience, experiencing and expressing itself. It’s a falsely held belief to LET IT GO or to let go of you’re free flowing energy. Yes, it’s better to ride the energy as it’s happening and to notice the energy eventually dissipate to its natural resting light state. Energy flows where attention goes. Look the other way, rather than focus all the attention on an uncomfortable feeling. To think you can just let a feeling go is ludicrous because if you could let energy go that just wants to naturally unhindered flow, that would be likened to building dams. It’s freeze framing reality which causes the tension and contraction of you. To believe you can let energies go, is to believe you have the power to invite energies to come back. But, as you already know, intuitively, you are only watching these energetic visitors come and go, you are not making them happen or making them unhappen. This is all just being done effortlessly by itself. To believe you can let go of a feeling is to simultaneously suppress that feeling in a tension. It’s tricky. You never invite these visitors in the first place. These visitors come and go as they please, you have no control over whether they come or not. Acceptance of what is, be it positive or negative energy is the only workable key to good healthy mental and physical well being in you yourself, I’m not talking about other selves here. Only you can do you, no other you can do you.

Is to realise you can actually realise you already are this ever unfolding fully satisfied seamless flow of unconditional expression in all it’s form glory and gory appearance. There’s no obstacle or eddies for liquid mind. And you can also realise that by wanting other than what is already perfectly appearing in all it’s glory and gory, awe and awful, to be any different than what’s already playing out unconditionally, is to want to freeze-frame what can never be touched or captured in real-time. This is neither wanted or needed, this is already perfectly whole. This is it. Thank God! 🙏❤️ 😎 Stay cool. Stay sane. Self or no self, really does matter, because self is self informing. From self to self an endless spring.

This one gets it. To be human is not to be stuck in woo woo land. To be human is to be grounded.

In other words, to say there’s no separation is ludicrous, of course there’s separation, that’s the beauty and intelligence of source. There first must be a source for any thing to be. The claim there’s no self is simultaneously creating self. As there’s no such thing as a not thing. A thing is a thing and a thing can never not be a thing. Nothing’s is never self’s known experience. Only something’s experience is known, only aliveness is known. There Can only be self - replicating itself. Source is not known because you already are source from whence you sprung. Sounds paradoxical, and oxymoronic but source couldn’t have been any other way. I Am I Can because I Am. Once known a thing known can never become not known. When one thing is known everything is known.

@TruthFreedom Separateness is not an illusion. The illusion is the “not knowing” of a beginning or an ending of the fundamental source from which all individuated beings take birth and then die. While conceptual objects and things are by nature ( pluralistic) Each and every thing is sourced from the exact same cosmic womb. The ( Aggregate ) being a self-sufficient, self-replicating, automatic feedback loop, in forming itself as and through the process of separating and joining together again. So there’s many combinations of creation’s infinite creative process. Each crafted thing being its own unique universe within itself while at the same time being a holographic part of the whole.And this knowing is the peace that passes all understanding. Deep Peace is full awareness already present.To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Peace is effortless. The opposite of peace takes effort. Deep Peace is already this full awareness fully restored and fully recognised in every moment in every separated thing.

There’s no breakthrough. There’s only breakout. Congratulations on you’re breakout J

Because we can. I can and you can too.

Does it make any sense to add the non to what already is duality, actually? How can nonduality be realised if there’s no one who is realising there is no duality. Does this even make sense, surely the path to realisation is for the path to make sense as it’s being travelled. Wouldn’t it be better to make this message relatable and use a terminology like “uni- duality” instead of “non- duality” . I mean make it make sense, make it more human, so to speak. What do you think?

The (ego) never sleeps. What appears to sleep, never slept. This is the true awakening. This is already (Wide Awake)

🙏

(Space) is the empty gap between objects known as words or thoughts in this conception. (Space) is necessary in order to make sense of the world. This gap is necessary for the duality of fundamental oneness appearing as multiplicity instantaneously differentiating apparent difference where there is none. Duality is a very persistent illusion, appearing as empty-fullness. This is just my opinion though. There’s a myriad of different ways to describe what is this immediate “WHAT IS”. It’s what we do. It’s just what’s happening, so to speak.
