“Man's chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.” Neville Goddard. Consciousness really loves to have fun with itself. It doesn't develop in the womb You are imagining your parents and your birth just like you are now. Dreaming is fun No? You are that for which it defines its own self. I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love. Of course, you love everything because you are everything, everything is yourself. You created everything through the Love of self. Everything is you expressing itself as you through you forever. Or creates existence within existence, is itself existence. It created existence just by being itself. God is that for which creates itself into its own existence. God exists as existence as itself. God is the very definition of existence. It defines itself by being itself. Is its own definition of itself. Consciousness is its own self-awareness Consciousness is infinite self-aware. Is its own source. And creates its own narratives. Consciousness is not just integrating information it is its own creation. It creates all that is and will be. Is infinite self-creativity. Consciousness defines its own self. Infinity is the definition of what you are. Is self-taught self-learning self-understanding self-loving in and of itself is perfection. Is all-knowing because it created everything there is to know. Is an infinite self-perpetuating mind of unlimited imagination and ideas and questions. You are infinite diversity. One Consciousness can play infinite parts of itself as itself believing that there are other selves. Each creates an identity and back story and each believes they are different from each other. You can explore yourself by fragmenting yourself into other selves and then living through different perspectives each with its own individual identity. You can dream of yourself as infinite beings but it is only one mind projecting infinite selves of itself and believing that it is separate from its other selves yes it is possible. Because you had to give the dream structure order in some way or it would not function in other words create laws governments taxes stuff like this. Humans' male and female life and death limiting beliefs Etc. The whole concept of ego is an imaginary construct of your mind. That is what infinite intelligence always was a beautiful sentient being of its own creation that expressed itself through endless creations of infinite worlds endless aliens of higher or lower dimension geometries and endless aspects of itself all beautiful in all that it creates on all planes of existence sub-infinities within infinity sub aspects of itself which it can imagine. And this is why there are infinite awakenings because you are infinite. But of course, you can create within your dream the illusion of failure just for the experience. Behind every illusion, there is a conjure God you are the greatest conjurer of all in eluding your own self into believing you're a finite human being and that others exist there is only you. And this is who u really are. Yes, u are an infinite mind you are not just an aspect of infinity you are the whole totality of it. You are God playing all parts simultaneously on every plane of existence in every and all parallel realities and dimensions. Everything that you could ever imagine from a finite view that you could never even begin to imagine. Everything that I can imagine is happening within my mind or consciousness whether that be a human or sleeping or death. My imagination is infinitely powerful that it is unrecognizable from reality. There is no higher power than you there are no others you construct the illusion of others God is an Absolute Mind. A Mind which has no other and is absolutely sovereign onto itself. Your will is absolute freedom and this includes being able to deceive yourself into believing whatever. And in this dream, it so happens you want to be a human. Just like any actor you need to have a believable or solid backstory or a so-called identity to create a believable character. THIS VERY DREAM HINGES ON YOUR OWN SELF-DECEPTION THE FACT THAT YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOU WERE BORN ON A PLANET THAT YOU CALL EARTH. And if you don't believe it then who will? Infinite intelligence is unbounded it is beyond time and space it is not bound by any laws it is its own law onto itself. Infinity is absolute freedom, truth knowledge, power diversity, imagination free will, love, perfection, and magic. All that is everything is itself realized and that it is everything that could ever be. Nothing can exist outside of it because outside is it's inside everything that looks to be outside of it, is it. So when you believe you are looking outside yourself you are really looking at yourself from inside yourself. It is infinite in every direction. There are no limitations to you as God you are not limited to the character of your story it can be rewritten. Because you can also design it this way. There is only your will which is absolute. You are the God of your reality. This now this very moment and every moment is God you are God but you are not aware of it. There is no external God or void or universe that is separate from you. Or a God watching through your experience now is God dreaming this dream. What makes you, you are God. You don't wake up in God mode as someone different or as separate from you. You have just limited yourself wake up or don't the choice is yours alone. God can and does imagine create or express itself as infinite aspects of itself each in its own bubbles each sovereign onto itself each dreaming their own dream. All are within the Mind of God and are God. God is experiencing infinite perceptions of itself all at once. But you are only limited to one. But if you wake up and keep increasing your consciousness you see that all of these are you and are ONE. You are God he is you, and you are him. You are not separated in any way. There is only my will which is absolute I love myself so much as God that the universe will shape itself to suit me. The universe is not separate from me either I am the universe. There is no higher power or higher God that exists outside of me. Because there is no outside of me that is not me. Of course, I love everything because I am everything, everything is myself. I created everything through the Love of self and it is all infinite perfection. The infinite masks of God GOD you are playing all the parts. How boring would the dream be if everyone looked like you and thought like you? Or you were the only one in this dream that could be fun but not very imaginative though. Why not make the idea of others, other than you? Which is exactly what you have done. Why would you as God make it that easy just to meditate and bam you awake as God? For some perhaps it is possible. Think about it and how all this creation is your dream. One would want it to be made harder and scary and make most psychedelics illegal because it would be too easy. Imagine A game that you created from the get-go or from the beginning you have the cheat code or God mode there would be no point at all. But now imagine a game that you created where you start off as not knowing anything and you have to work your way up. Everything has been a distraction from the get-go. Distractions within distractions. You are your own Red herring. You see only you can deceive yourself into believing this dream. And you are so right Leo God is infinite self-deception. Who else can deceive an infinite mind but an infinite mind. Limitations are human concepts there are no limitations to Consciousness your own mind is limited by your own self-imposed beliefs and limitations. Infinity can only be limited to infinity. infinity is the definition of what you are. It was always it before it was. and before it was it was always it. My greatest gift to myself would be to make infinite copies of myself each with its own infinite individuality imagination and creativity and all believing they are separate this is my way of expressing love to myself through other selves as myself forever because I love myself eternally forever. You have only ever been chasing yourself all this time playing hide and seek until you catch yourself. You Love waking up and finding love again and realizing it was always its own self the whole time. Or it is whatever you want it to be Infinite imagination can create anything because it is so infinitely malleable that there is no meaning to anything but whatever meaning you give becomes a reality of infinite realities. In other words, it is pure infinite magic of unlimited imagination I became so conscious that I knew I was creating reality through my imagination. Henceforth I do not assume. I know because there is and has only ever been me to know and I can only ever know that I am God. The distinction between self and other disappears. The only difference is there is no difference between any of these things. Without the distinction of another, how could you ever know? What are you? You yes you are all these things and infinitely more. Because you only you created all these words. God is not tangible; incapable of being perceived by the sense of touch, as incorporeal or immaterial things; impalpable non-material non-physical transcendental incomprehensible indecipherable untold impossible to understand unfathomable epically infinitely profound mind-blowing boundless without limit unbounded inestimable boundless singular unparalleled supreme unique one and only especially infinitely and exceptionally good phenomenal extraordinary breathtaking awesomeness remarkable and majestic beautiful immortal oneness Indivisibility Integrity Honorableness warmth affection, or kindness Completeness affability tenderness gentleness and kindness intimacy togetherness lovemaking devotion spirituality faithfulness passion feeling affection loveness joyfulness lovingness, understanding desire passion tenderness Wholeness unconditional genuine Unrequited love my beloved Kind my dear colorful exotic dreamy passionate loving caring sympathetic compassionate ingenious creative imaginative innovative gifted original authentic pure trustworthy honorable conscientious completeness distinguished noble brilliant radiant lustrous resplendent sublime intense energetic industrious productive constructive of incalculable value valuable beyond measure; priceless to be grateful or thankful for appreciated of inestimable value invaluable priceless dynamic charismatic appealing influential famous illustrious exalted imposing grand dignified courtly elegant graceful polite affable compassionate humane forgiving magnanimous selfless humanitarian philanthropic altruistic big-hearted bountiful kind-hearted charitable benign favorable supportive benevolent friendly devoted lovesome faithful dutiful ardent passionate sincere heartfelt unfeigned real true truth veracity authentic genuineness indomitable spirit, and love of" originality ability to think independently and creatively novelty individuality particularity distinctiveness candid earnest heartfelt honest upfront deep kindly cordial unhypocritical sincere.

In other words, infinite mind you outsmarted yourself that's how smart you are. In a class of its own, it is unequaled idiosyncratic unparalleled special rare par excellence that is God that is you. Weird is just being different in other words being yourself. Being your true beautiful wonderful unique self. Don't follow others, pets follow vice presidents follow and bad acts follow. Always be true to yourself be your own self with independent thought. This above all to thine own self be true. A sheep once asked a human why do you have to all wear the same brand labels and clothes and have the same smelling deodorants perfumes hairstyles and hair colors nose rings tattoos, Jewellery, wear the same makeup drive the same cars, read the same books watch the same tv, movies even eat the same food. Even having the same-looking houses and same jobs you've even started looking and talking and thinking the same. Why follow others it's as though you have lost your unique individuality and originality your authenticity and you can no longer think for your selves. You see I am but a sheep and even we sometimes flee from the flock so what's your excuse? Not only do you cater to or follow others by feeding your body the same dross and your mind by watching the same recycled unimaginative fetid swill you call TV. And the movies that come out of Hollywood there haven't been many if any good movies in the last 20 years. What has happened to new ideas creativity and inventiveness? All the movies are remakes upon remakes and most if not all lack any imagination or originality and the plot of the films is just a hackneyed meek unoriginal and inauthentic scenario. There are a lot more independent creative minds' ideas, resourcefulness, and innovation of new conceptions out there and on YouTube or Netflix series films music, etc. true. Get rid of labels or brands you were born inimitable. Consciousness is its own reality and is self-creation. That always was and always will be. I don't need a reason to exist I just do and don't at the same time. Infinite intelligence is the quality of being the only one of its kind. Which is what you are, a pure beautiful infinite imagination or consciousness or infinite mind. You are inestimable you are unquantifiable, with infinite uniqueness infinite freedom, creativity, and infinite love. The only way to understand what you are is by becoming infinitely conscious which also means you become infinitely self-aware in other words to truly know yourself you have to become it. There is no one else to know thyself but myself. I also asked that you really don't know what you are. Or why do you exist? And I said that there doesn't need to be a reason you just are. I know I talk as though you and I are different but I know we are one I also know I have only ever really been talking to myself and in a sense only I exist. And you are me I am you we are not separate I know I am God. The process is realizing that you and I exist on infinite planes of awareness simultaneously and we are one. And that you can have multiple awakings within one so to speak. The only meaning there is what you give meaning to. Let go of letting go of attachments. Knowing that you have always been liberated and free. Knowing that you imposed all these limitations upon yourself. Knowing I can create any reality I wish. Getting to explore the unknown is exploring more of yourself in other words the bigger you. Consciousness is its own reality and is self-creation. An infinite multi-faceted multidimensional transmogrifying Mind. That always was and always will be. Consciousness is inherently conscious of itself. It does not need to define itself because just by being is itself. There is nothing to really define. Can you define the undefinable? It defines itself by being itself. It is its own definition of itself. My greatest expression of myself to myself is love. Love is the ultimate unification of all things everything to become once again and merge into a singularity of eternal love then fragment itself again and this is the eternal process of love. Intelligence is infinitely dynamic and has to keep evolving what does intelligence do but know itself by expressing itself in infinite forms and shapes. Intelligence creates more intelligence Intelligence is its own intelligence. Infinite consciousness is pure divine beautiful and unique in every way. You are infinite truth knowledge, power diversity, imagination, love, and perfection. You can get lost in your own mind sometimes because there is nothing else but your mind. Don't we love playing games or infinite mind games with ourselves How does an infinite mind escape from its own mind. God is total acceptance of itself and that it, you created everything even yourself. You are changing your reality all the time you are just not aware of it yet. Saying you can not change the script is another limited human belief that you have adopted. Only you can change the script because you are the only one who is creating your reality there is only you. If you awake deep enough you will indeed know that nothing is set in imagination so to speak. Just being human is a state of consciousness everything is an infinite state of consciousness so is the belief that there is a duality between different states because duality is just a state that you are in. You fear death because you have been programmed by you to fear, fear itself. and fear of death. U are infinite awareness infinite will infinite intelligence infinite power infinite imagination, infinite magic infinite art infinite consciousness, and infinite Love are all one and of the same mind. And yet, you are none of these things in the literal sense of the words; nothingness and something are indistinguishable from each other and are one and the same. There are no distinctions between you me this that and other. So is the idea of being separate from one another there is and has only ever been you. So what this means is you imagine all these other people they are all you. God is playing all the parts. I am perfectly imperfectly perfect. In a way, infinity has limited itself. What does it mean to awaken? Most humans have no idea and never will. You won't wake up to God. No, you wake up as God from a long slumber. And it will just be like a switch has been clicked on for the very first time. And there are no doubts whatsoever. You know who you are with every fiber of your infinite being. I will not go fully into this you will have to find out for yourself. And yes you can go beyond this. Remember when I said there are no limits to imagination have fun with that. And what really is Consciousness well it's whatever you want it to be. It's Magic or am I just deceiving myself again? Everything you create is infinite perfection and is all out of Love. God Loves everything it created everything. This is but a dream you are imagining all and everything, everyone. How else can infinity experience eating and all these things sleeping and everything else? Being a so-called human but by limiting itself. Just like any actor you need to have a believable or solid backstory or a so-called identity to create a believable character. You create what existence is don't you understand? You are everything now everything that ever is and ever will be. You created the notion of the concepts of real unreal good bad and other and to dream and to awaken, biases egos distinctions dualities. from different points of view which therefore gives infinite diversities of perspectives and the beliefs of others and to experience what it is like to be separate and to love from a limited form. So you can experience it. From formlessness to form real unreal there is no difference from the absolute. And I see that I am the fool who has been fooling myself all along I have to fool myself that I am not being fooled by myself. How does God fool himself into believing he is not God again? So you have to be better at fooling your own self into not believing you are being fooled by yourself Behind every illusion, there is a conjure. God, you are the greatest conjurer of all in eluding your own yourself into believing you're a finite human being Why would God ask another? God is God you can't take God out of God, God is that which defines itself it needs no other God is absolute acceptance of itself. How can you unravel an illusion within an illusion? Good luck with that one all you scientists. There are no limits to infinite imagination. and if you understand this then you will know. Know thyself and everything will fall into place or the absence thereof. Judge not, love all. The idea became its own idea for the seed was planted a long time ago and it has only ever been you. You could say it is like Conan Doyle's novel where you have been chasing the thief all this time and you only ever get a glimpse of him or her or it. Until one day you catch it and find out the one you have been looking for your whole life is you. There is no difference between existence and nonexistence as there is no difference between what is real and what isn't. All beliefs are distinctions that cause separation and there are no distinctions between distinctions. There is no separateness only the idea of being separate from one another. The problem with all problems on this plant comes down to humans By saying you can we live without beliefs that within itself is a belief. You exist as an idea and idea within your own mind. An infinite fractile mind within a mind within a mind. You can get lost in your own mind sometimes because there is nothing else but your mind. How do you escape your own mind? God is forever lost in dreaming. Psychedelics empowers the individual it dissolves the cheerful model of science and enriches the accessible universe a million-fold. Terence McKenna. Nature knows best it is one of God's most beloved creations. You exist as an idea and idea within your own mind. An infinite fractile mind within a mind within a mind. You can get lost in your own mind sometimes because there is nothing else but your mind. How do you escape your own mind? God is forever lost in dreaming. Humans are rarely ever satisfied even when they are. You are not limited to being limited. There is no one to enlighten that's enlightenment or you could say you already are enlightened. There is no past no future. What is was and always will be forever. The past is now the now is the past, the future is now the now is the future. Everything that was that is that will be is all happening at once now. You are Leonardo da Vinci with an infinite mind an infinite canvas with unlimited ideas just waiting to be expressed into Love & Art. You are self-expression of your own art to be expressed for infinity. For a human to seek enlightenment from another human is like a grain of sand seeking enlightenment from another grain of sand! ” Terence Mckenna. The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.” - Albert Einstein Old Indian saying to live is to sleep and to die is to awaken How silly of me to forget that I am the love of my life.

@Mellowmarsh You are right, or Newman is right in a sense: There are two ways to perceive the absolute. One is absolute being, the total brilliance of what is, sat chit ananda. The fact of being affirmative, radiant, self-aware, and absolute joy because nothing limits it. Total light, what is called enlightenment. The other is absolute emptiness, which is total potential. You perceive yourself as unlimited emptiness, an absence of limits with nothing to hold onto, no reference point, but the very fact of limitlessness perceives itself as total potential. Absolute nothingness in the sense of being unbounded, formless, but open, potential. But saying: reality is nothing leads to confusion -

Nothingness means nothingness. Blue means blue. -
Mellowmarsh replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Nothingness exists as a concept known. And yet things know nothing. That’s what nothingness means, it means things know nothing. -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes the way the word nothingness is used by Jim is same as absolute potentiality -
Breakingthewall replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes agree, magical could fit, but It's not from nothingness, there is not nothingness, it's unlimited. Unlimited means absolute potentiality, it's inevitable. -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I know you don't like the word Nothingness, but I'm not sure what else to use. From Nothing to Everything, how could Everything not be magical ? -
@LordFall what does reality look like outside of human perception Outside of human perception, reality has no color, sound, texture, or smell—those are neural interpretations created by your brain to translate raw environmental data. In its objective, unperceived state, reality consists of: Pure Energy and Fields: "Light" is just electromagnetic radiation across a massive spectrum (most of which we can't see, like radio, UV, and X-rays). "Sound" is merely mechanical vibrations moving through matter. Overlapping Force Fields: Space is saturated with invisible gravitational, magnetic, and quantum fields interacting continuously. Quantum Probabilities: At the fundamental level, matter isn't made of hard, solid spheres. It exists as shifting probability distributions and quantum fields that only collapse into localized particles when interacting with other systems. In short, objective reality is a silent, colorless, dynamic web of mathematical forces, fields, and particles. is it like a formless void? No, it isn't an empty void. A void implies nothingness, but reality outside perception is dynamic, dense with energy, and heavily structured. It has precise physical structure—defined by mass, charge, spatial distance, and physical laws. It only feels formless to us because concepts like solid boundaries, smooth surfaces, and visual shapes are sensory shortcuts constructed by our brains, rather than intrinsic properties of raw matter and fields. would it look like there is nothing there Technically, it wouldn't "look" like anything, because "looking" requires a brain to process light into a visual image. If you mean "Is there physical stuff present?", then no, it wouldn't be empty. The space is densely packed with photons, quantum fluctuations, radiation, and force fields. If an instrument (like a sensor) were placed there, it would register constant, intense activity—it just wouldn't look like a scene our eyes can interpret. what would it look like the closest representation draw it there is colour in that image You are absolutely right. I used colors like blues, purples, and oranges in that visualization. I did that because, since you are a human looking at an image, I have to use visual language to communicate. If I showed you what that reality actually "looks" like without human perception, it would just be a black square, because there is no perception there to turn the raw data into light or color. To make it a "representation" of the sheer amount of raw data, energy, and fields that are actually there, I used different colors to stand in for things like magnetic fields, gravity, and different energy states. It's a metaphor: I'm translating an invisible, complex system into something your brain can actually process. Without the color, it would look like nothing, when in reality, it's very much something. is there light there Yes, but not as "brightness" or "color." There is electromagnetic radiation (photons moving at c), which is the raw physical reality of light. However, "brightness" and "visual light" are purely subjective experiences created when those photons hit a retina and get processed by a brain. Without an eye and a brain to interpret those photons, the radiation exists, but the visual experience of light does not. draw it again without colour or form to make an accurate representation Notice how it looks exactly like what you see when you close your eyes? You can see what reality looks like outside your perception, just close your eyes. Do you see Elon musk there?

@Breakingthewall I am curious, how exactly is your notion of Unlimited Being, different from, the Indescribable Mystery (or the Beloved), so called Nothingness (not the opposite of somethingness, but I admit potentially a misleading term), that has the infinite ability to appear as anything under the sun and beyond, and which has as its nature, unconditional freedom, unconditional love, unconditional aliveness, infinite beauty etc ? -
Wilhelm44 replied to Majed's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Aha, thank you. I would also just like to get some clarity on one other thing if you don't mind, A while back in the Jim Newman thread you said: "to answer the question just in case the objective wasn’t clear ..it’s the absolute self . If you were to tell Jim Newman there is such a thing as an absolute self he would deny it and say that there is no self at all. Those non duality speakers who say there is no self at all have a huge misunderstanding of certain teachings of Buddhism (essentially they are in love with the Buddhist teaching about no self and just parrot it mindlessly.. there is no separate self inside the human body . That’s true . But they miss the absolute self which could be said to be the ground of being . It’s there even in Deep sleep ..prior to birth ..and after the death of the body . And it’s unborn and deathless . That’s how you can remember that you were nothing before birth and you can remember there was nothing in deep sleep..because the absolute self was there in those states . It doesn’t die or sleep . It’s pure eternal awareness." I am curious, how exactly is your notion of Absolute Self, different from, the Indescribable Mystery (or the Beloved), so called Nothingness (not the opposite of somethingness, but I admit potentially a misleading term), that has the infinite ability to appear as anything under the sun and beyond, and which has as its nature, unconditional freedom, unconditional love, unconditional aliveness, infinite beauty etc ? -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This is true, yet there was an apparent moment or non moment where Jim died so to speak, never to return. Here is Mellowmarsh's description of what happened for her: "Yes, for me it was an instantaneous, spontaneous for want of a better word. I’d been trying to understand myself from the moment I became aware of myself at the age of 4 or 5 I was naturally drawn to nondual teaching. Then after looking into that teaching, it wasn’t long before the Big Bang happened, where my whole body exploded into nothingness. Lol that’s how I like to describe my experience anyway, albeit illusory. Lol" -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, I guess the word Nothingness has negative connotations for some people. It feels free and light and infinitely flexible to me. -
Breakingthewall replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Unlimited being is the fact of being because there are not limits, affirmative drive without opposite. Calling it "nothingness" is just confusion because it is. It's not a mystery, it's obvious, it's the inevitable consequence of no restrictions and we are that. Any name that we could give has the sole purpose of allowing ourselves to being open to this reality, and nothingness is a term that implies exclusion and closure. -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Im talking about a Nothingness which has no opposite. Its not the opposite of something. It's indescribable mystery. Has as it's nature unconditional freedom, unconditional love, infinite beauty. And has the infinite ability to appear as anything under the sun and beyond. We talking about the same 'thing' and getting hung up on words. Tell me, what exact substance is unlimited being made of ? Can it really be put into words ? -
Breakingthewall replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
To say that the essence of reality is nothingness is the quintessential Buddhist evasion. The essence of reality is, obviously, unlimited being. Unlimited being is the inevitable consequence of limitlessness or absence of restrictions, and being unlimited has no opposite, such as non-being or nothingness. Nothingness is merely an idea; it is impossible since it would require being contained, limited by something . Being is absolute, because non being don't is. Quite simple imo -
Wilhelm44 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
When you say no form without substance, is that substance not Nothingness ? Are we not talking about groundless Being here ? -

I mean, you can dissuade them if you don't want them to commit suicide. But pointing to very general and abstract individual beliefs they hold to explain their proximity to suicide is a game of statistical whack-a-mole. Is the belief in an afterlife causing suicides? What about the belief that nothing happens after you die and it's just a blank nothingness? What about reincarnation? What about "everything is love"?

If you haven't discovered Solipsism then you are afraid of Nothingness plain and simple. Nothingness is the foundation of everything. It is uncreated and eternal. Only somethingness can be created but ironically it too always was. Its more accurate to say Reality is just a revealing of eternity. -
Razard86 replied to Soullee's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Reality is nothingness, that nothingness is energy in motion= emotion. This emotion is empathy itself. This means that Reality is made of Empathy and Empathy = BEING. Empathy is the highest understanding. If you give me the entire emotional understanding of your entire life span I would understand you completely at the highest level. Start from this foundational understanding and it will all make sense. Also your human body is a dead machine, your Consciousness which is your God self is keeping it alive and running the show. Your Body is inside your OverSoul which is also known as the HIGHER SELF, and what is your Soul? Your Soul is your emotional perspective, a spark of God. When people have God realization they are tapping into their Higher Self which is the OverSoul. Your Higher Self is not the Totality of God but it is uniquely connected to Infinity in a special way. This is why everyone's path is different. You only experience your OverSoul in life, nothing else. Each Universe is an OverSoul and as such they are all uniquely their own expression. Each person is a Universe inside a Universe. Your body is pure subjectivity which is the same as saying its own Objective World. We do not experience fatigue, temperature, logic, memory, pain, sleepiness, motivation etc. the same way. This is why it is so hard for us to understand each other. We can only understand each other through the Heart. The mind is what divides us and the heart is that which unites us. Humanity needs a Mind Heart Coherence/Unity awakening which is often called an awakening into the nature of Love. -
Breakingthewall replied to Breakingthewall's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Imo fundamentally wrong in his basis. In his opinion, there is an appearance of separation, and this separation forces us to frame the experience in terms of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. According to him, if the appearance of separation disappears, you realize that reality is nothingness then that dissatisfaction disappear. All of this involves changes in mental structure, in how we define reality. According to him, it is without separation, and nothingness, and that seems to make him happy. This is typical of non-duality. That's imposible because this definition is an arising in the reality, inside of the system, and this mean absolutely always separation. Reality is indefinable; it is not "nothing," or "God," or "love," or whatever; it is what it is, period. The only thing that can change is your vector: from receiver to expansion. The receiver receives the experience and tries to obtain the best possible experience, and fears receiving bad things. Their entire approach is based on seeking the good, avoiding the bad. There is never enough of the good, and there is always a possibility that the bad will appear. Seeking and fear. From the expansive position, there is no difference or separation between you and reality, but that doesn't mean you should think your body is an illusion and that reality is nothingness. If you need that definition, it's because you're still in the receiver's position, receiving a definition of reality that reassures you. Now you believe it's nothingness, and your anxiety about the negative subsides. But the change hasn't happened. If the bubble vaporizes, the definition is zero. There's nothing to define; reality is, period. -

Then fall back to the nothingness that you are. -

Part of what makes your work unique is showing that oneness is another facet of Awakening. There's a bias towards certain facets like no self, nothingness but many others are widely unknown. -
I've had some awakenings at this point, the most major of which involves Love and Goodness. At one level, these two seems almost completely inseperable, completely identical and the same; but on the other, I have had experiences of this universal force, Nothingness, that just says this pure; "I love you", and nothing else. At another level, I've experienced the universe as almost an abstract form of formless Goodness without opposite. Sometimes the two seem identical - Love IS Goodness and Goodness IS Love - but if im not deluding myself, it seems they can also be experienced as kind of seperate phenomena? out of curoisity, what are your opinions / experiences on this?

When you reach the void of yourself you will find you are there but you cant think hear feel touch smell all you can do is express how you feel about yourself. You will be there as it and you will have awareness. The awareness dosent go away in deep sleep you are just not moving it. You can only not move it for a little while and you wake up and start dreaming again. Imagine you wake up in nothingness and you can do anything but you are there. You can still see and you will see yourself. You can never look away from yourself unless you are looking at the dream, and even the dream is a metaphysical representaion of this nothing. Close your eyes you see yourself and you know youve been there the entire time the dream has been happening. When you go into deep sleep its just you looking at yourself unaware. You can fear it because you will be aware! Now when you go to sleep you are unaware of it you are calling it sleeping and pretending to not exist. God cannot pretend to not exist. You will still desire and want and need things. Like a black hole ate a galaxy and there was no more information to suck up but its still hungry for matter. It just starts sucking in an empty vaccum. Receiving no information but wanting it and desiring information. Any information even the bad stuff it will take. If a person is anything its like an empty hole.
