It's worse. I think the thoughts are superfluous. You can have an "unoriginal" thought which is straightforward and not all fat and no meat. Infinity of Gods to me is "if God is infinite, did you know we could have infinite cakes too?". And I'll be like "yes, infinite cakes, sure. Anything else I didn't already know?". Alien consciousness I suspect is something like "I took DMT and I realized there are intense levels of awareness and intelligence beyond our own", which is not even just literally what Terrence McKenna has said, but it's virtually the a priori of psychedelics gnosis. Psychedelics do virtually only increase consciousness. And we're supposed to be amazed when somebody says we can discover radically elevated levels of consciousness and radically different states of perception and thinking on them? Beyond human perception? Yes, dUh.

Lol, Infinity of Gods is "God is infinite" with extra steps. Alien awakening has not been laid out. But my feeling is it sounds like a standard DMT trip report with extra steps.

My reaction was with respect to the forum. But also, show me one independent thought.

As we all know, the pinnacle examples of health are methheads, competition-ready steroid-abusing bodybuilders and anorexics who routinely die in their mid-40s.

Look at it go. Exactly what I said you said. Me: "I think bread is edible. Do you think bread is edible?" Breakingthewall: "I think bread can be digested and have its nutrients extracted by the stomach." Me: "Yeah ok, but do you see how you said the same thing?" Breakingthewall: "You just don't seem to understand me". Me: "What if I told you I could define the word 'peanut butter" in 10 different ways? Would you see it then?" Breakingthewall: "Peanut butter is a mixture of peanuts, oils and other additives". The reason why you seem to disagree so much, why you keep responding with blocks of text to everything, why everything seems to loop and no conversation gets resolved and it all continues forever, is because you're not conceding your frame (ironically clinging to your frame, or just not considering the other frame), and sometimes the frame is the only issue. -
No, I just think you could fix those problems if they happen regularly and they're not conducive to healthy living standards. That requires getting involved with who is responsible.

You do the same language game with "consciousness": you say consciousness cannot be absolute because it requires perception of a thing, and perception of a thing is relative. But you're just getting hung up on the word and missing the concept that is being communicated. I can give you 12 definitions of consciousness right now. If I did, would you then answer each one with "no, consciousness is x"? At that point, maybe not. -

There are people with e-penis complexes, but don't confuse this with making accurate and detailed distinctions. Any talking about awakening/enlightenment is to make distinctions, and making distinctions is not the truth. If you prefer making lousy or surface-level distinctions, that's an intellectual preference you can have. But this is indeed just a preference, it does not reflect anything about the direct knowledge of the truth. If anything (and if you want a behavior to indicate whether somebody is awake/enlightened), it would be making incoherent and ill-formed distinctions. -

You can be liberated in this life but you will still have prarabdha karma, the karma that will play out in this life. You will do certain things, and some of those things can be more or less aligned with the liberated understanding. That's where you get liberated assholes vs liberated saints. It's not such a difficult idea. Breaking identification of the mind does not instantly and completely transform the mind. It's a process. You can look at behavior, but in my experience, looking at energy is a better indicator. Even though a behavior might be slightly off, if the energy is on, you at least know they are in an impressive state, just not a saint. The behavior is not the same for everybody, exactly. The prarabdha karma of a tobacco salesman in the slums of India is different than a German ex-academic who lives in Cambridge. -

You work yourself to a state where you let the ego not identify you, however, the mind might say things, the body might move and do things. But you don't cling to these things, you ultimately don't let them define you. You express the flow, as you say. But when you do this, you will indeed cling less, you will indeed suffer less, worry less, be less anxious, because these things are loopy, cyclical things, that the ego does by clinging. -

Synchronistically telepathically communicating a misunderstanding, now that would be unlikely. Telepathy, when the context and the content are communicated, without misinterpretation π -

You're trying so hard to not use the word "ego" π @Natasha Tori Maru This is an example of a language game. Tip: start using concepts in your thinking, let words be secondary. Words are surface-level tools for conveying underlying concepts. To get yourself in a twist about using the words "dropping ego" vs "aligning with reality", that's to get in a twist about words. The ego resists reality. When you align with reality, you drop the ego. It's as simple as that. Now, dropping the ego does not mean becoming a plant, or becoming an ascetic, or relinquishing all your possessions. That's a misunderstanding of what the ego is. Now, using words like "aligning with reality" can help you to deal with this misunderstanding, but to present it as a completely different thing, that is indeed also a misunderstanding. -
You can do something about it.

What is it that survives? It it the ego? And if anxiety and worry reduces, what happens to the ego? Does it maybe, reduce? So aligning with reality reduces ego? Hmmm. -

How do you become anxious, worried, etc.? -
Carl-Richard replied to Breakingthewall's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
What does an aligned person look like? Describe their behavior. Are they generally worried, anxious, dwelling on the past, indecisive, etc.? -

Some years ago, I listened to Cynic's "Traced In Air" album, and I had a thought "it would be nice if they could've released the album without the screams", because they seemed a bit out of place and a bit clichΓ© for the genre. Then I believe only a few days later (or less, I can't remember), Cynic released a remixed version of the album, without the screams. I almost couldn't believe what had happened. It's one of the least believable things that has ever happened to me. It felt like I had manifested something or literally communicated with the band. -
I will define crypto-materialism as follows: Consciousness is fundamental (that is, Cosmic, Universal, Trans-personal consciousness is at the bottom of reality) Minds (i.e. personal, private mental states) do not interact non-locally or psychically (or their interactions are soelly bound by physical mechanisms) Subtle energetic phenomena (not easily measured by physical instruments, e.g. spirits, auras, spiritual energy) are not real: they are mental projections on the same level as thoughts and "hallucinations". They are private phenomena that cannot be co-verified by separate observers The crypto-materialist adopts a mostly idealist ontological primitive, where consciousness makes up the formless foundation of reality (emptiness, awareness), while in the world of form (phenomena, events, objects, processes), they hold on to the epistemology of materialism. In the world of form, reality supposedly works as if reality is physical, local, Newtonian, mechanistic. Information supposedly doesn't travel in mental space, it only rests within it. The irony of course is that despite the ontological primitive being consciousness (and not atomic billiard balls or the quantum mechanical equivalent or whatever the cutting edge of physics postulates), somehow they believe the "products" of this primitive follow the laws of a non-consciousness or physicalist universe. The crypto-materialist has likely not yet opened their mind to all the possibilities that exist within a universe made of consciousness and has likely not actively sought out counterevidence to their existing view. Maybe your dislike for "New Agers" is based on some unchecked assumptions π€

Most claimed originality is rather uniqueness. You didn't create it, but the way you express it, it's yours. It's rare to get such topics in spoken long-format video, with high production value, and by somebody who knows how to speak clearly and actually make themselves understood, without superficial or roundabout stuff (except the Infinity of Gods video, of course π). As for "Alien consciousness" or "Leo's deepest awakening yet which cannot be communicated" etc., nothing has been said there, nothing to say there.

And what does aligned or unaligned behavior look like? Does it have any ramifications or distinguishing qualities? -

That's just what happens. You know how a child with behavioral misconduct can throw a tantrum over the smallest things? Is that a structure you can "align" with? Is the alignment process you're describing completely devoid of any structure itself, or does the behavior of an aligned individual look like something?
