Reality is a construct, the universe is a construct. It is constructed of nothingness. So of course a thought is a construct that is what imagination is, it is the power to construct which is the power to build which is the power to create. God is a constant dream. It either dreams itself as a void, or as non apparent, or it dreams up an appearance, all with the power of thought. Where do you think the power of thought comes from? If you could with your mind think the sun out of existence you would literally be using the power of God.

I'm not denying consciousness. Please try to understand my position clearly . Consciousness exists . But what is consciousness? Its a shape shifting substance that has no ground . What's tripping you up in this inquiry is you imagine nothingness to be black void . No ..nothingness is a shape shifter that takes on endless forms but in its essence its not any particular form specifically

A beginningless thing cannot die because if it can it must've been dead since infinite time in the past . Only that which is beginningless can be endless .and that thing is nothingness aka God.

It can lead to a major panic attack or worse. I used to fear insanity a lot. Fear of the unknown or fear of death are also two big ones, but it doesn't matter as much what form the fear takes. You can even fear love. In my opinion it boils down to fear of nothingness, it's like your ego fears the void, where it is completely obvious that it is an illusion.

The foundation of reality is the absence of limits. This is not something but the lack of something. Since there are no limits, everything that can be is, therefore one could say that reality is everything, but since there are no limits, everything that is blurs in the total unlimited amplitude until it is revealed as absolute nothingness, an empty abyss. They are the two sides or perspectives of reality. It can be translated into: reality is everything. everything, given its infinitude, is illusory, therefore, it is nothing.

Like you said: something = Nothingness. You just need to recontextualize how you view physical reality (aka consciousness) to realize first-hand this Truth. I'm not saying consciousness does not exist . I'm saying consciousness is nothing.

@Someone here Yeah? Well, look at your hands. Look at the room around you. You're just ignoring what is obvious. Consciousness. Ironically, labelling actuality "Nothingness"

(I may have misunderstood you lol) We are not denying Creation, but you are not grasping the paradoxical nature of Creation which I for one, point too. The paradox is profound. Leo explains it better than I.. Something like God had to create itself before it existed. Because, even non-existence and before God was always actually a part of God. God created itself with literally nothing. God had to create itself before it existed. God Created itself. This stupid buddhist framing of "Nothing".. Yeah, thats nice but it's just a facet. Pointing to nothingness I think it important. But, when you look at your hands and the room you are in, which is this. Which is something, i guess you could say... The actual qualia and subjective experience you have is God. It's not nothing. It's God. God is a shape shifter. Compared to an object it's nothing because it has no finite qualities, except paradoxically when it does. So, you could say reality is nothing, but nothing is paradoxically something.

Thanks . Well..There is an old Buddhist saying " form is empty. Emptiness is form". It's basically pointing to the collapse of the duality between somethingness and nothingness. I've realized it many times.. That something and nothing are identical. Not on psychedelics. Just by observing my experience of reality and contrasting it against a dream state . The mistake is thinking that "nothing" is some blank black void somewhere. No.. Everything we are experiencing all the time is precisely nothing. It's completely hollow and unstable. No different than appearance of a Dream. Even scientifically speaking.. If you break down the atoms that make up the universe.. You will get waves of energy. Break down the energry and you get nothingness . We know now through quantum physics that the universe is literally made out of nothing.

Awakening to the facet of immortality and who you actually are Is very simple imo and can be done with simple logic. Only that which is unborn will never die . Is this clear ? Because if it dies then it wasn't eternal. It can only be eternal if it had no start in the past and therefore infinite amount of existing has already passed and it doesn't die . So ..again..only that which was unborn shall never die . Let's investigate what that "thing" is . Think about it ..What was born ? The human body ..This person that you appear to be ..this whole universe with its origin via the big bang. Etc All these were born ..so they will vanish eventually sooner or later. And What was never born? What didn't have a beginning and cannot have an end ? You should immediately see that it's Nothing . No thing . Only nothing is eternal. And therfore your true nature is nothingness. I hope the point I made is clear . If you guys have any questions or objections go ahead. Thx.

Nothing changed except the thought of it. Your thought of it. Your understanding of it. Which was "false" in the same way that there can't be a unicorn that understands things. There can't be "you" which "understands" or thinks of "it" or anything at all because there aren't any "things" aside from the thought of "things." Thought can't understand thought. A thought about things can't understand another thought about things. Recursion error. Catch-22. Onto the question of "what remains?" Assuming you also let go of the story that there is "you" which can "let go of stories", then what remains can only be... Nothing. No things. Not a thing. Infinity. Nothingness. Non-definitiveness. etc.

Mahayan Buddhism talks about the 'Buddha nature' which is similar to the Self in Hinduism. Emphasis on Awareness is a common point in Theravadan/Mahayan Buddhism as well as Hinduism. Therevadan Buddhism emphasizes nothingness/emptiness because it is the ultimate ego-buster. Who wants to be nothing ? Hinduism and nondual philosophies states that one is the Self or Infinite, which are good for the ego or self-image to cling to. But nothingness is an entirely different proposition. We are coming from emptiness and going back to emptiness. Just as the vastness of space helps bring a sense of proportion and scales down the covetous human ego, similarly the philosophy of emptiness is designed to scale down the ego acting as a psychological austerity and helps to bring a sense of proportion and perspective, which enables mindfulness to blossom.

Merciful would have been to have never brought this being into life. Mercy would have been nothingness for eternity. Create no one, disturb no one. There's no such thing as a "greater good", there just is everything which includes infinite mercilessness and cruelty.

First I found god. Then I found love. Then I found nothingness. Then I found everythingness. Then I found the cosmic joke. Haven't found anything deeper than yet so far

Probably the same thing that happens during sleep . You drift gradually into unconsciousness..Then you start having nocturnal dreams . And I have a hunch that this is also what happens during physical death ..you just rest for a while and then you start a new dream of existence or a new fantasy. All worlds are nothingness . Sleep is nothing .dreams are nothing. Existence is nothing .

From a materialist perspective it would probably be something like fainting, you lose awareness of what is happening and enter a timeless and spaceless nothingness, similiar to how it was before your birth. The atoms that made "you" up slowly disintegrate and merge back into the rest of the world. From an idealist perpective with consciousness as primary it would probably also be an experience similiar to fainting. A shift into a timeless and spaceless "realm", but not because your essential subjectivity disappears, but because you are released from the frame of who you thought you were, a specific person in a specific place and a specific time. Consciousness doesn't in and of itself have these qualities when it is not being filtered through the lens of "human". So that would be something totally inconceivable, something that can't possibly be captured in human language constructs. I think we lose all sense of human identity regardless of what happens, since it is very deeply connected to identification with the body. I see no reason to think consciousness is a product of the body itself, the other way around makes more sense to me as crazy as it might sound. Nothing changes from the pov of consciousness, all the apparent change happens within the contents of consciousness.

@QVx Very true, I've done nnDMT alone and enjoyed it. I had "visual" where I saw azetc masks, impossible shapes, the world revealed itself to be a manifestation of infinite intelligence through this nnDMT induced opening of physical matter. I've sort of entered into those fractals people may know from images and videos related to nnDMT experience and skipped through some radical state channels before returning to this "human" one. It's very visual, its interesting, it's very beautiful. I have done it alone and with friends. The time with friends was in a park, by a tree while two guys played a digereedoo. That was also very insightful. I felt one with everyone there. 5meodmt has no visuals. It creates a radical state of ego death and presence. It can reveal to you infinite, truth, Goodness, God, forgiveness, perfection, solipsism, nothingness, wisdom, purpose, why the universe exists, Why love is the truth, What healing is/ deep insights into the truth of healing and wholeness, paradox, etc. One of the most profound things is you realize that You Are Self Love. You just didn't know it. It can also change the way you contemplate and reveal some profound truths about yourself and reality. 5meodmt is truly a remarkable substance. It has also made me more loving once I tripped. Soon after the trip I began speaking to a guy who was really stressed and socially isolated. My loving acceptance and simply listening healed him. Then, he became much more loose, open and social. His glow returned. So, it can heal you and those around you if you are able to integrate it. Though be warned, it can lead novices to being confused about how to integrate the state, what is means, etc. 5Meodmt is a field of mastery, and should not be taken lightly. It's a substance to work with and practice with carefully with spiritual intent over many years. It's really for people who are serious about consciousness work. I feel like, perhaps nnDMT could be more fun and novel for novices who have some psychedelic experience already. I found it more entertaining than the deep spiritual nature of 5meodmt. But, I suspect nnDMT has great spiritual potential I have not tapped into either. I am not sure. 5Meodmt can also create for me this sort of feeling of total understanding the root paradox of all things. But, I am still contemplating that. A deep goal I have with my Qigong practice is to radiate this love, acceptance, wholeness and health to others. Without 5meodmt I don't think I would have discovered Qigong.

@Schizophonia nothingness = everythingness = oneness = 1 Funny thing is that I received a 1 usd note today. Something I never owned. It must be a sign. 👀

Ive had a different experience from long ago which i consider out of body. I was doing some crown chakra meditation, long story short i ended up floating above my body and looked down on it from the ceiling and i didnt have a body, I was like "empty nothingness observer" probably awareness. I was there in the dream, me, awareness, I definitely was there, otherwise i wasnt gonna know it, but yes, my phisical body was not there, but then again, the physical body is just a bunch of sensations and visuals within awareness, just like it was in the dream. But as I say, in reality, the body is more consistent. If I looked at my hand front and back during that dream it was going to bug out, just like with lifting the cushion. Hands are very hard to create by the subconscious, its one of the ways Charlie Morley explains in his book "Dreams of Awakening" how to check if you're dreaming. You have to regularly do it in waking if you want to do it during a dream and then you will realise you're dreaming when your hand turns to elephant trunk or gets fins, or something else random when you flip it a few times. (These are examples of hands that ive had during some lucid dreams after such checks. Ive never a single time had a consistent hand during a dream) I do believe reality is spiritual rather than physical, but again, I cant say there is no difference between dream at night and this reality "dream" even tho they have similarities.

I had a dream after this post, in the dream i saw myself as a kid and saw my parents throwing unwashed clothes at the floor. They were talking a lot of rubbish unconsciously, and all i said back to them 'i am god' all the time. They ignored me and continued. Then i wondered what this screen/movie was and dettached from it, behind this screen/movie was nothingness. It was like the movie was just playing, and nobody was actually watching it.

@Elshaddai If you experience god realization you could become god and realize you are dreaming this whole life. All that exists is the void or nothingness and so you can control the dream. It is solipsism or simulation theory. You could become the Buddha. But even then you just let it all flow and don't try to change anything because you realize everything is perfect. But if you want to believe this reality exists then who knows? Maybe or maybe not. It is possible all the aliens and all the alien AIs all proved to themselves there is no free will so they all just accepted life or killed themselves or escaped into another dimension where there is free will.

@Inliytened1So do you think if your ego doesn't become "god realized" , you will associate your aging/death with actual death process like seeing a "white tunnel" and when you enter the "white tunnel" you will see out of your mothers vagina or any birth portal into a new reality. But who is responsible for this process and on who's behalf does it happen? Who is responsible for creating how we look like etc. This is what i don't get , it's like there are many "levels" of yourself that are responsible for some part of creation. Jesus said: If you associate yourself with man you will die like man. If you associate yourself with spirit you will have eternal life? Does this mean if we associate ourself with spirit, we essentially have eternal life and we can dig/experience realities forever until we develop to infinity or something? I also know that in these god realized states it's like your memory isn't stable anymore, because everything happends all at once. And this nothingness is responsible for our forgetfullness that we are god. It's like you fall asleep and forgot who you were, and perhaps wake up in a new reality? Because i almost forget who i was at some point, and it was like reality/nothingness wanted me to forget myself. And deep down i felt that it would be the end of my ego/reality.

@Inliytened1It wasn't awesome for me, all the desires/meaning/value lose value. It's not like how when you're in the game of life with others. Everything of meterial literally had 0 importance to me, i only craved "others" "love" and "loving others" as much as possiible as i was the only one. When you become god realized in the dream at that level it's really strange, you associate yourself with nothingness and realize that there is nobody else to take control of that "nothingness". Then you realize you're god, but all value is lost because there are no others. These level of consciousness literally made me want to cut myself or jump to my death from somewhere. The reason i didn't go further or do anything stupid like go into people houses is because i didn't know how my god realized reality would affect the reality my "ego" was in. This is the hardest obstacle, as you realize that you can create a reality for yourself in the past/future.

I remember i woke up god realized to some level, after ingesting LSD and falling asleep. During the sleep, i deconstructed the reality in nothingness and when the deconstruction finished i woke up like a God or something. The reality became a bit like insanity, these levels of consciousness were hard to handle. There were no people anywhere, the earth was like a closed domain/death domain for my walking avatar. Because i associated drugs/consciousness with heaven, the window of my neighbours house changed and was opened with a white teddybear hanging out. The hallucination was so perfect i couldn't establish a difference between this ego life now and that reality. It was like reality/time stopped, and i could see the same pigeon fly over my head like 5 times making the same noises. Can you imagine seeing reality as "loop" as there was no time or people. I knew i was god realized and i was walking mindlessly in circles/same pattern. Then i did many ego things/prayed/washed dishes/worked out/cold shower etc. just to get away from that insanity and that level of consciousness to have some rest and be my ego again. I could literally take a small glass of milk and imagine me drinking it forever using my mind, it would never go empty. Thank fuck, i came back to my ego again. Now i just don't know how to procceed further, my only hope is that there is truely a god and that we will never be able to reach this "god level" as somebody taking care of us is the best thing we can have in life or any reality.

Infinity is absolutely simple, it is the absence of limits. If the absence of limits is total, infinity perceives itself as absolutely empty, since it cannot be filled and everything into it fades until become nothingness. Its quality is that it exists, and perceiving itself as total existence is enlightenment. The forms are perceived as holograms without existence in themselves, but with the total depth of the unlimited. any other perception that is "more" is simply limited. nothing can be more than the total absence of limits
