and what will happen when he fully knows himself, will he die of boredom?

Don't give in to illusions (the phrase echoes into infinity if you say it coolly instead of 1000 words hahaha) I'm just kidding

Cruel. But it sounds so cool. If such a thing exists, it's absolutely right to commit self-sacrifice. This is what love must be. I had something similar in an out-of-body experience. I'm in the mountains, and some huge, bald, hyper-pumped men are leading me to my execution. While walking, I see the mountains and decide to look at the sky for a moment, and it's hard to describe. The visual itself. Waves appeared in the sky, like waves on the sea near the shore, the waves seemed to glow slightly. And the feeling of "seeing Paris and dying" is a metaphor; I seemed to understand its true meaning. The fear completely disappeared—it wasn't like I knew I was going to die, or like I didn't care, or like I realized I was eternal—it was something else entirely, very hard to describe. I've never experienced anything like this in reality; everything that exists in reality, like self-sacrifice, is actually stupid, fatally stupid.

I have no problem with free will = control. The main thing is contact with your "Pure Desire," which is precisely "Pure Being," and precisely "Pure Will"—that is, Will with a capital W. It's also very similar to Love, because it's your Essence; it simply can't be any other way. But it's not love as spiritual teachers describe it; that's too primitive; it's much, much, much more.

I don't need free will, I need my energy, my Self, to flow through me unhindered, that's freedom. What does free will mean? Some people say free will is for wishes to come true or something. That's what, hahaha. Or maybe this someone wants free will because they're demonic.

It's much simpler, bro. What you're saying suggests that you don’t actually need your individual “self” for your body to function—your body operates automatically better than your conscious mind does. There's no point in meddling with processes where things work fine without you. As humans, we only control our skeletal-muscular system. Everything else is beyond our direct control—it’s self-deception. There’s an autonomic nervous system within us, and it runs everything independently. This autonomic system splits into two parts: sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. You can slightly influence these systems using deep breathing techniques and throat sounds. For example, when you breathe deeply from your diaphragm and make any glottal sound, you activate the vagus nerve, stimulating the sympathetic component of the autonomic system. As a result, your body shifts from stress mode into something calmer. Making throat sounds activates nerves in the neck area. Rubbing your eyes also triggers slight activation of the sympathetic nervous system. That’s pretty much it. There's no reason to invent unnecessary entities—we follow Occam's razor principle here. Like they say back home, “Why give a goat a balalaika?” Or, as others might put it, “Who needs a fifth leg on a dog?” If something is complicated, it should improve its functionality; there should be some kind of beauty, some kind of purpose. Simply making it more complicated is pointless. Complexity makes sense if it enhances functionality. Otherwise, complicating things serves no purpose.

In some sense, connection with the heart is non-duality, which is already close enough. Even unconditional love itself is nondualistic, yet again, being unconditionally loving means that there’s a condition attached - Be unconditional . Just feel with your own heart, your inner core, your Self.f.

Yes. Just like a cat or a dog. How their ego-mind interprets it is another matter. Because concepts will automatically begin to form, first abstract, and then concrete; even the most super-duper-hyper-enlightened are no exceptions. Or maybe this won't happen; for example, they have aphantasia, and their ego-mind simply won't imprint it on their memory, but will leave its mark in another way. This is purely my subjective opinion and observation. But in any case, something...will happen....

Let's move on . Progress, let Reality progress.

What is Perception, what is Consciousness? As everyone usually imagines it, it's Space. Perception, or let's say consciousness, is as if it were a boundless, empty space. But the catch is that Space doesn't exist. Do you know why? Measuring the distance from one object is a matter of turning your head, feeling it with your vestibular system, the movement of light, and your mind calculates (precisely calculates it at the information level) it as Space. In reality, you see only Interaction and time. And time is precisely Energy. There is only Energy, and One Energy that dances with Itself. There is no such thing as Empty Space or Filled Space. There is only this Energy. And this energy is Life, Being, Consciousness, and it is neither nothing nor something, it has no definition by definition, it is simply AT ALL, absolutely completely, it is not even NOTHING and not more insignificant than nothing itself, and not something else. And yes, this is YOU. Even when Leo talks about Emptiness and Truth, he's a hostage to this conceptual expression. There's a paradox here (precisely a paradox, not a contradiction): he's actually telling the truth, and at the same time, he's not, simply not at all. But he can't do otherwise, and none of us can either. We all seem to hit the nail on the head and still miss the mark, and it's unnecessary. This is how Being itself manifests. Sorry, Leo, if I didn't mean to offend or hurt you. Thank you for your understanding. Does this mean everything is untrue and you're imagining it? NO! Everything is real, hahaha. You can consider it an illusion, or you can consider it reality, but only YOU (not the ego, not solipsism) assign it what you assign (sorry for the tautology) and just BE. Feel with your heart, I had to say this banal spiritual nonsense, but I don't know how else to say it. Non-duality = Duality. And there is no difference.

Develop a sense of inner freedom. Girls sense this, and not only. And develop it through real-life experiences, not just theoretical ones. Don't talk about deep topics, just be open, open in the emotional sense; understanding this requires social intelligence. Don't burden them with your intellect.

Interesting

There's definitely something to this...

It seems like we're all talking about the same thing in different words. It reminds me of the history of science when quantum mechanics was just emerging—it didn't exist in the form it does today. There were debates, and people wrote in different languages—not just debates, but heated arguments. That happens in the inner workings of academic circles; not everything proceeds peacefully. And then Paul Dirac came along and said, "Listen, it's all the same thing," and he offered some interesting perspectives. I think we're all overly immersed in knowledge. Even here on the forum, there's a trend of people expressing their own interpretations of what awareness is, what God is. We need to remember how we knew nothing and simply experience it ourselves. Wisdom isn't in knowledge, but in silence. And silence isn't emptiness, it's your I AM, your strength, if you will, your light within, if you will. Knowledge is always survival; knowledge doesn't seek peace; knowledge has a survival strategy. The more we know, the more we see the depth of the abyss, and how impossible it is to control everything, and this knowledge brings anxiety, just as if a tiger were standing in front of you. Because the mind doesn't care whether the tiger standing in front of you is genuine, or whether you're reading news about a disaster, or simply reading a notification on social media—it's a stimulus to worry, it's manipulation, gentle manipulation. For the mind, there's no time for what happened many years ago or what's happening now. When you remember something, you don't just remember it, you reconstruct it anew, then it becomes your awareness, then a habit, then a conviction, and then a part of your personality. Wisdom doesn't deny knowledge; it makes knowledge fearless, not risk aversion . Knowledge is no longer afraid of ignorance. Knowledge is control, wisdom is agreement. Knowledge divides, but wisdom makes it whole. Knowledge serves wisdom; wisdom adds the Self-Presence to knowledge, adds life, adds the Self. This is closer to true Awakening. Now I'm going to play the Mortal Kombat video game. I'm just going to do this idle thing. What's the purpose and what's the benefit? Benefit NONE It's simply an act of creativity and self-expression, Pure Joy. I want anger, I want primal rage, I want to see and feel the beauty of this brutal force. I don't want to judge my actions, whether right or wrong, let my "lower self" rejoice. There is no such thing as a higher or lower self. There is only YOU and the energy that manifests through You, and this Simply YOU is not someone or something separate, it is precisely YOU. Give yourself freedom, just be and be present. And even if there were, if the Higher Self denied its lower self, it would clearly be something wrong. It is impossible to speak about Non-property, it is only a finger

The human body is perfect and ideal. Yes, it's imperfect in specific aspects, but it's absolutely perfect. I'd even say it's perfect in its imperfection. Moreover, the human mind is "nature's design." It's not as if evolution simply created the mind, and our mind, the shared human mind, is constantly inventing new things. This is a new stage, but for us, we want it to happen faster. But from the perspective of, say, a "superbeing," time moves differently. I like Nikola Tesla's quote: "Mind exists to eventually gain mastery over matter!" This is the true purpose of the mind; it is what it is, simply is, as something primordial and self-evident. Love yourself, accept your limitations, accept your shortcomings. Specifically, as shortcomings, and not looking for positive aspects in the negative—that's a scam.

Whether I'm human or not, I simply exist. I'm a child of nature, ahahahaha. And anyway, I'm going to play Titan Quest 2 now. I've started leveling up the Earth and Fire branch, and there are also branches with magic. But I want this one specifically, closer to the earth. I'm a WARRIOR today.

I don't quite understand you. So what if you're locked in a room and only know food and water from birth? It would still be "God"; you don't need to know him!!!! Or rather, it's not necessary. The very core, the very essence... I give up, it's useless. Ugh.

I apologize for intruding on your cozy conversation, but why do I need to know or suddenly understand that "God has begun to play the role of man"? Why should someone tell me this? Why should I somehow mentally come to this conclusion? I think it's a bit different.

There is no such thing as a higher or lower self, there is only YOU.

I think if the mind is weak, psychedelics are contraindicated. And if the mind is dull, they won't help. I know one ayahuasca semi-producer who spouts such nonsense, even from the perspective of those who have made this ayahuasca themselves.

Remembering myself as a child, I still remember that it's me. Remembering myself drunk, I also feel like I'm me. I always feel like I am. Basically, I don't suffer from derealization or depersonalization. For me, the world is not an illusion. I suspect that when the Indian Vedists, or whoever they are, the original source itself, said that the world is an illusion, they didn't mean it literally. And I don't suffer from the identity crisis that's common in schizophrenics. I've had the chance to talk to real schizophrenics, and I've also listened to their revelations, and I'll say this: it's not what it seems on the surface, ahahahaha. For example, how schizophrenia begins: at first, you feel discomfort; no matter what you do, you just feel uncomfortable. Then the situation worsens, this discomfort becomes physically noticeable, and then it begins to feel as if this discomfort has detached itself from the body or mind, and it takes on a life of its own, and what's more, it can begin to dictate its terms, not in a literal sense, but not necessarily so. And a person may not understand who they are, or understand, but perceive someone else within themselves; this is a more severe stage. Something like that, I'm exaggerating, of course. And when someone says, "Am I human or not?" So, what do you mean, bro, you have problems with self-identification? That's a signal. And in general, God is the same as I, absolutely identical. And I'm not talking about God as a superbeing with unlimited powers, but as a natural being. Therefore, if a person's I doesn't identify itself as God, it's essentially also a schizophrenic, but only of a higher order. And since this level is likely characteristic of 100% of the human population, then we are all schizophrenics. Awareness of yourself is the most important thing to do.

Have you studied Zen Buddhism before? Or perhaps you teach in philosophy departments? If I asked a personal and awkward question, you don't have to answer.

How can there be no "I" if there is "YOU"? Princess, answer honestly, are you a Zen Buddhist? Or do you teach psychology or philosophy? I just want to test my intuition and erudition. Although, in my opinion, this is obvious. Just in case, I'm not a Zen Buddhist, a fatalist, an idealist, a materialist, or any other kind of IST. And no one is an authority on such matters, even Leo, I can listen, yes, but I'm the one who draws the line. I don't care about any teachings at all, and I'm not enlightened, by the way, and I don't really care about enlightenment. I simply AM. I generally advocate going through life easily and playfully.

It could be Christ, or it could be Columbus. But when you write like that, he's out there in the moment, like in an image. But I mean something else, between the lines...

I don't want to disturb your cozy correspondence. But this Impersonality has a Personality. If you like mind games, imagine a fractal, only a non-uniform mathematical fractal, but a fractal of One. And this isn't impersonality; it's a PERSONALITY. A True Personality.
