Wow this is cool "One possible way of envisioning the human passage is the following. We think of ourselves as originally emerging from the unknown, from darkness, nothingness or non-existence into the light of consciousness. But as consciousness develops we discover the increasing ability to see in the dark, see into the nothingness or mystery within ourselves and eventually realize that this darkness and nothingness is the divine from which we emerged and with which we are one. Thus we discover that our original darkness IS true light. Midway in this passage, divine light (darkness or unknowing) and the light of consciousness are in balance, with neither outshining the other. But as we move beyond this mid-point, divine light begins to outshine the light of consciousness until, in the end, the light of consciousness goes out and only divine light remains. From this vantage point we look back on the passage and see that although consciousness was the veil that dimmed the light, this dimming was necessary in order to make the human dimension possible. But if consciousness makes human existence possible, it is also not separate from the divine, nor does it completely hide it; on the contrary, consciousness or self is man’s faculty or medium for experiencing the divine — so long as it remains, that is [this is key]. Our passage through consciousness is the gradual return to the divine; we leave the divine unknowingly and in darkness, but we return knowingly and in light"

Yes. Even nowhere is still somewhere. Zero-Energy Universe Hypothesis: This theory proposes that the total amount of energy in the universe is zero, with positive matter energy exactly canceled by negative gravitational potential energy, suggesting that from nothing, everything (or "nothingness") can emerge.

I'm a beginner psychonaut, and despite not having tripped that many times, I've had the privilege of being able to access some absurd states of consciousness. I'm going to go over my two deepest trips so far, what I've derived from them, and some of my problems with this path and Actualized.org. In my previous trips on mushrooms, I got glimpses of god, oneness, timelessness, and the screen of consciousness, but they were never the full picture. When I took 4g of mushrooms soaked in lemon juice (lemon juice doubles the potency for me) I expected the trip to be significantly shortened, but it stayed just as long, maybe even longer than normal (like 8 hours) The onset was rapid, in full effect in 20 minutes. I get heavy body load on mushrooms, so I was pretty uncomfortable at this point. The visuals kicked in soon, and a beautiful mosaic rested behind my eyes. I had been reflecting on one of Leo's claims which is that psychedelics raise your level of consciousness. I'm still not sure if that is true, but I started to get the sense that my consciousness was elevated. Feelings of oneness emerged around this point, and I became aware of the screen of consciousness. I got up to walk around, and found extreme difficulty doing so. My physical perceptions were very distorted. If I turned my arm right, it felt as though it would twist into a pretzel. If I walked straight, it felt like i was walking diagonally. After this my bodily perceptions expanded. My physical body seemed to take up more space. My presence seemed to fill the whole basement. I felt very plant like. I felt like a lovecraftian monster. Most accurately I felt like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors, but larger. At this point there was no sense of being human. I still saw a human body, but all ideas of human-ness were gone. And what was left was a disturbing sense of nothingness. I also had an insight into infinity, but I think it was a sort of one dimensional look at it. I haven't quiet fully integrated this trip, even three months later, nor do I really think I can integrate it. My most intense trip was last night, which I finally broke through on DMT, and entered the "hyperspace" Before with DMT I had two issues. One was the intense body load it gave me, and the other was how irritating the smoke is on my lungs. I attempted to resolve this issue by getting a THC buzz before hand, and it solved both issues. I then weighed out 25mg, loaded it in my pipe, heated it, and six inhales later, I felt the body load (although not uncomfortable this time) and was getting slight behind the eye visuals (similar to ones I get on mushrooms) Then it struck me. The visuals became higher "resolution" and merged into my reality, and taking me out of it. I felt myself traveling through different spaces and in my mind was thinking "this can't be happening" I would be in a room, and then the visuals would change rapidly and I would be in a different room. Although I wasn't really in these rooms, I was the rooms. I didn't enter another reality, I became it. The shifting of rooms became more intense, and increasingly fluid, and mischievous. It was chaos, and destruction. I had the feeling that this aspect of consciousness wanted to destroy just as much as it wanted to create. It was the most surreal and euphoric experience I have ever had, yet the most terrifying. I snapped myself out of the hyperspace early. I could have stayed another minute or two, but it was too much. 30 seconds of being another dimension is enough. After exiting, I paced around my room. The only words I could think was "Holy shit. Holy shit. What the fuck." The weird thing about these experiences is not because of what they tell you, or what theories you come up with because of them, It's seeing the shapes the screen of consciousness can take, and how suspiciously easy it can take those shapes... Before when I saw Leo use "CONSCIOUSNESS" in all capitals, I thought he was being dramatic. But seeing the shapes that consciousness can take, this seems entirely appropriate. I also understand why "hyperspace" is the name of this place. It doesn't feel like a place, but one that connects all existing possible spaces. I'm incredible grateful that God keeps himself hidden from him. If God in its truest form is anything like where I went, I'm not ready for God. My goal is still God/Truth/Infinity/Love. Even if this is all horseshit, I will still pursue God. I can't imagine anything better to pursue. And despite not coming across much Truth, Infinity, or Love, I still have found this process incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Despite wanting nothing more than Truth, I still don't know if omniscience is possible. I've had feeling of knowledge, and transcendence, but how do I differentiate any of that from finite forms of knowledge? I hear lots about this state of knowing where "You just know." but how can you know that to not be self deception? I'm incredibly skeptical of my psychedelic experiences, and will not take what they tell me as Truth (but will still take them as hints) As of now, I know a few things: 1. Phenomena exists (I think therefore I am.) (I am) 2. Consciousness can morph into absurd shapes (and smoothly) 3. That I don't know. My baseline has raised significantly the past few months (I attribute that partially to mushrooms, but mostly to mediation and Kriya) I can retain much greater awareness of the screen of consciousness throughout the day. I can't recognize it as God currently. Really all that I have learned is that I know nothing. I knew that I knew nothing before. But I didn't know what nothing meant before, and I didn't know how much there was to not know about. What do yall think about this? How is true knowledge (Gnosis, omniscience, God consciousness) actually possible?

⚠️ Warning, only read if you are mentally stable ⚠️ I've done a psychedelic retreat, 8 trips back to back on a variety of substances (10+) in mid-heavy doses for two weeks. I was starting to get more conscious and infinite with each trip, reaching new levels of Awakening every time, it's shocking how deep you can go with psychedelic retreats, it seems you max out, only to breakthrough in the next session, I was blasting through every limit till this happened... So what I'm sharing is what I would have loved to know before hand. Most of the times the limit to your awakening is that you just can't get really there, you're not conscious enough, but as you keep on pushing you encounter harder and harder limts to break, what you will discover if you go hard enough, deep enough, long enough is a seemingly unsurpassable wall of FEAR. You'll be so fucking conscious that you may realize on the other side are the best realizations you could dream of, your whole life search, but that wall won't move an inch and will makes you recoil consumed by an incomprehensible fear. With some time for integration and contemplation, fear is designed to protect your 'self' hence imagine the fear you have of not burning your hand while cooking, multiplying it by a trillion for the destruction of all that you are and all that is, moreover fear makes you act in a flash and not to become contemplative, being one of the hardest hindrances to surpass in Awakening. I was haunted in particular by these 3 fears: 1. Death / Universal anhilation: I would die and everything would die with me, if I dared to take a step further and Awaken to the ultimate Reality of what I am, what God is and the ultimate Infinite singularity: my human self would totally die, I would never come back, the human life, all my dreams and aspirations, my family and friends, this universe, everything would vanish forever, like sand blown by the wind. It's not even that "other people" would find my dead body and cry over that, no no, it's even more radical than that, this whole dream, this whole fucking movie, would come to an end, I would resolve all of existence and become God in my Infinite Reality forever beyond any limitation. If any other particular dream would unfold, at all, was dubious, as I standed in the midst of an infinite consciousness singularity sucking me and all of Reality into oblivion. 2. Too much / Infinity A fear of too muchness, of overstimulation overflowing, of fuck it you've really gone tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far this time. You've fucked it up, you cannot take it, it's impossible to fucking take, every part of your psyche cannot hold it, all safety limits in all dimensions are beeping like a nuclear bomb is going to explode. You've gone through these fears before, but never like this, never like this. After inspecting you realise that 'too much' is just a pseudo word for Infinity, what you truly fear is Infinity. 3. Insanity (totally losing your shit) Insanity, levels of insanity imagineable, levels of distortion, despersonalization, uncontrollable delirium, totally imagineable, no framework can hold your mind, you've lost memory, history, self, context, you only get context from two past frames behind you which dissolve into nothingness and no ground on the next frame but a chaotic flux of unrestricted consciousness, so fucking mad that you can't even call yourself mad, all personalities, all psyches, the whole of reality, an assilum, a delirant carnaval playing in your infinite mind tirelessly and absolutely awake. These fears are very strong and existential, I couldn't breakthrough them with more psychedelics but recoiled in fear again and again, the wall is still there and it needs time and understanding to integrate it with of course surrender and Love. These fears are here and will haunt you before your greatest Awakenings, beware!

How do you experience yourself? Human? Aiien? Nothingness? Awareness? How do you imagine reality? Dream? Movie? Normal Life? Physical? Ethereal? God's Mind?

@Someone hereThere is a hole in every human that makes them strive for something. When you see non existence that hole is filled and fomo is gone. Fomo is fear of God/ non existence. The hole isnt filled with nothingness.

Try it yourself. Do exactly what you’re asking: remove all your assumptions and beliefs. What is anything you can be sure you know? Try to remove everything. The only thing you will be left with is pure “is-ness.” This is now, therefore it is. This is in my direct experience, therefore it is. This “is-ness” is truth, or pure correspondence that things are just what they are, not some other way or with some filter, assumption, or perception added to them. Just A = A. This is what it is. It won’t have any thoughts or any further veil of perception. It really does feel like pure nothingness, or a vacuum of existence, just pure being.

The substance of everything is Nothing. The reason form appears the way it is right now is because that is currently what you are dreaming. However, the substance of the dream is ultimately Nothing. Consciousness is not a special kind of form and it doesn't sit between form and formlessness. Consciousness is Nothing. Consciousness is God's POV as it dreams up this current moment. God is, of course, Nothingness. Are you sure the body is a container for the "I"? Your Ego is simply a series of thoughts occurring in your Mind (which is located Nowhere) which have falsely taken ownership of God's POV and created an illusory identity. But the substance of thoughts is also Nothing.

@Leo GuraYou define God as Existence itself ..also Infinity ..Nothingness..Love..Absolute Truth. Ontological and metaphysical nihilism focus on the "Nothingness " aspect more . If you meant to say they are not wrong but just not holistic or missing other aspects then I do agree .

Below is full texts quotes from Chatgpt about ontological nihilism and metaphysical nihilism. If you think metaphysical solipsism is crazy then you ain't seen nothing lol. I actually totally agree with the entire text and I think it is also obvious and non-debatable. And it's fascinating also to note that this aligned perfectly with Buddhism's worldview . Starting with ontological nihilism : "Ontological nihilism is a philosophical view that denies the existence of any kind of objective reality or that there is no inherent "being" or "substance" that defines existence in the traditional sense. It's a subset of nihilism that focuses specifically on the nature of being and existence itself. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Ontology refers to the branch of philosophy that deals with the study of being, existence, and the categories of being. It explores questions like "What exists?" and "What does it mean for something to exist?" Nihilism is the broader philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or value. Nihilism can apply to ethics, knowledge, and metaphysics. So, ontological nihilism takes nihilism a step further by claiming that nothing truly exists in a substantial or enduring sense. There might be phenomena, objects, or experiences, but they have no permanent or intrinsic being. According to ontological nihilists, all entities are either illusory, fleeting, or not truly "existent" in the way we typically understand existence. Key Points: No Objective Existence: There is no objective, independent reality. Everything that we perceive as "existing" is either a construct of our minds or transient in nature. Denial of Substances or Entities: There's no underlying "substance" or "thing" that grounds all existence. The things we think of as "real" may not have an essence or intrinsic nature. Influence of Other Nihilistic Ideas: Ontological nihilism often overlaps with metaphysical nihilism (the idea that there may be nothing in existence at all) and epistemological nihilism (the idea that knowledge is impossible or meaningless). Examples: A radical version of ontological nihilism might argue that the universe itself, and everything in it, lacks any true essence. Things only exist temporarily or relative to human perception, but no one or no thing truly "is" in any objective, substantial sense. Philosophers like Husserl and Heidegger (to some degree) explored similar themes, though their work wasn’t strictly ontological nihilism. They focused on the way we perceive and experience existence, questioning whether it could be reduced to nothingness or if it always depends on perception. In summary, ontological nihilism is the belief that existence itself, as we conceive it, is not grounded in anything fundamental or permanent." I totally agree with all of that. 100% accurate description of reality as is . Moving on to metaphysical nihilism: "Metaphysical nihilism is a philosophical position that suggests that nothing exists in the most fundamental sense of the term. Unlike other forms of nihilism, which focus on the meaning or value of life, metaphysical nihilism specifically challenges the idea of the existence of any kind of substance, entity, or object in the universe, or at least the possibility of everything that exists being nothing at some level. At its core, metaphysical nihilism proposes that there may be no objects or entities that persist through time or have an inherent existence. This doesn't necessarily mean that things don't exist in a superficial, practical sense (like trees, rocks, or people), but that the totality of existence could be void of any enduring or fundamental things. In extreme versions of metaphysical nihilism, this position even suggests that the universe might not exist at all, or that it could just be a contingent, temporary structure without any essential being. Key Features of Metaphysical Nihilism: Denial of Fundamental Existence: Metaphysical nihilism denies that there is any fundamental, enduring substance that everything else is grounded in. For example, it rejects the idea of some basic "stuff" (like matter or energy) that everything is made of. Contingency of Objects: It holds that all objects or entities in the universe might be contingent, meaning they could either not have existed at all or could cease to exist without any fundamental reason. Essentially, there is nothing that requires the existence of particular objects or the universe itself. The Possibility of "No Existence": In its extreme form, metaphysical nihilism suggests that there might be no entities, no objects, no universe—just complete nothingness. Some versions suggest that the universe could have come into existence by chance or that it might vanish into non-existence, and this could be equally likely or even inevitable. Denial of Ontology: Metaphysical nihilism is closely related to ontological nihilism, but with a specific focus on the non-existence of all entities or substances, rather than just the denial of a particular kind of existence (e.g., rejecting the existence of essential "beings"). Variants of Metaphysical Nihilism: Strong Metaphysical Nihilism: This version argues that there is a total lack of existence, meaning that nothing exists at all—there is no universe, no objects, and no things in any sense. This is an extremely radical stance, but it is taken seriously by some philosophers, particularly in relation to questions about the ultimate fate of the universe (e.g., could the universe "cease to be"?). Weak Metaphysical Nihilism: This version might argue that individual objects or entities do not have any necessary or essential existence, but it doesn’t necessarily deny that the universe as a whole could exist. For example, it might suggest that objects are only contingent (they could exist, but they don’t have to), and that even though things may exist now, they could just as easily not have existed at all. Existential Nihilism (Not to be Confused with Metaphysical Nihilism): While metaphysical nihilism concerns the very essence of existence, existential nihilism is often more concerned with the meaning or purpose of existence. It suggests that, even if existence is real, it lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or value. Philosophical Roots: Leibniz: The 17th-century philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz raised questions about why the universe is the way it is, suggesting that the existence of the universe might be contingent. He proposed that things could be different, and perhaps nothing at all might exist. David Hume: In his skepticism about causality and necessity, David Hume questioned whether there is any necessary connection in the world, which aligns with the ideas in metaphysical nihilism about the contingent nature of existence. Contemporary Philosophers: More recently, philosophers like Peter van Inwagen and David Lewis have examined the implications of metaphysical nihilism through debates about the possibility of a "quantum vacuum" or the nature of possible worlds, where they consider whether nothingness could be a genuine possibility. Example of the Position: A classic formulation of metaphysical nihilism is the "nothingness" argument: Imagine a possible world in which nothing exists—no physical objects, no events, no time, no space, just pure nothingness. Metaphysical nihilism entertains the possibility that our universe could, in fact, be a contingent state, and there could easily be a possible world where nothing exists at all. This view is not necessarily about denying the existence of particular things (like trees or mountains), but rather about suggesting that existence, in the most absolute sense, is not necessary. Criticism: Challenge of Possibility: One criticism of metaphysical nihilism is the question of how nothing could be considered a "possibility" at all. Some argue that we cannot meaningfully talk about "nothing" because even the concept of "nothing" seems to imply some kind of something. Logical and Conceptual Problems: There are also challenges to the coherence of metaphysical nihilism. If nothing exists, then there wouldn’t be any possibility of there being a world where things could not exist. Some argue that non-existence might be an incoherent or impossible state to conceive. Conclusion: Metaphysical nihilism is a radical philosophical position that challenges our common understanding of existence by suggesting that nothing exists at the most fundamental level or that existence could be contingent, even unnecessary. While extreme in some versions, it has been influential in the history of philosophy, raising questions about the nature of existence, reality, and whether there is any essential substance or foundation to the universe." The only thing I disagree with is the idea that "nothing exists at all " or "there is no existence whatsoever ". This is totally wrong and false . There is obviously apparent existence..but like it's described above on all the other points like contingency..lack of substance or ultimate ground ..etc its all spot on. Please do read the two texts and let's discuss whether what's said is accurate or not ..hopefully without using AI lol.

Time is the substrate and carrier that makes change possible. Without time, there is no change and everything is static. Just as space is the substrate and carrier for matter and existence. Without space, there would be nothing. Without change, nothing matters. With change, everything matters. To matter is to change. To not matter is to not change. Time by itself does not change anything. It’s merely the carrier. A continuous void of nothingness changes nothing. It takes energy to change and form matter (and therefore meaning). It also takes energy to disform matter. Energy is what emerges out of nothing and nowhere. Energy is actualised change potential. A field of potential is what sits on top of spacetime. The emergence, existence and interaction of energy is what makes the world. The whole notion of physics collapses if there’s no change. This is why God loves change.

First of all, I feel this (coming back and forth on the ontology details) is epic The huge amount of common ground between our work, simply insane Regarding the other post, yes, i've read it. I was trying to understand how to point the most important difference between your notion of the Void, and my own. Here it goes. You describe the Void as apathy, nihilism, loss of will, the dark night of the soul. That's a real human experience, but it's a psychological state, not an ontological ground. The Void I'm pointing at is something else entirely. It is not empty in the sense of lacking something. It is the absolute absence of any distinction whatsoever, prior to space, prior to time, prior to the difference between something and nothing, prior to unity and duality themselves, prior to your Field. There is no inside or outside. No boundary. No wave. No observer. No observed. Not darkness, because darkness requires light to be its opposite. Not silence, because silence requires sound. Not nothingness, because nothingness is still a concept and concepts require a mind to hold them. It is what remains when every possible distinction, including the distinction between existence and non-existence, has been removed. And I want to be honest about something: the only way to really understand what I'm describing is not philosophical. No amount of reading Kastrup or refining your field ontology will get you there. You have to become it. That means temporarily leaving behind every structure you identify with. Your thoughts, your feelings, your sense of being someone, your topology, your resonance body, everything that makes you Cred. Not as a metaphor. Literally. That's why I said it's not depressing. From the outside, the dissolution of all structure looks like the worst possible thing. From the inside, there is no inside left to suffer it. But I won't pretend it's safe. It requires going somewhere your model can't follow you, because the model dissolves too. Most people who approach it turn back. The ones who don't turn back, come back different.

This is clickabit, Consciousness does not prefer pets. But humans do. One is about dying, dissolving into absolute nothingness, and coming back to build a tool that stress-tests your entire worldview against 6 levels of philosophical scrutiny. The other is about pets. 3 replies vs 74. I'm not complaining. I just think it says something interesting about where attention actually lives. Even on a forum dedicated to the deepest questions a human can ask.

It's completely normal. Being problematic or not is just perspective. It can be recognized that this needy egoic structure that wants this knowledge is completely illusory though. But its not ego that recognizes it and eliminates itself, it's nothingness 😳

Then the body is relaxed, and now is the body who's writing that is relaxed, or you/no you is in some communication with the body and you/nothingness knows that the body is relaxed? How? Then the body is real but being is unreal. Who decides what is real and unreal? The body?

Nothingness was referring to the self-illusion which identifies as being the whole of reality there. Another name for that self-illusion is spiritual ego. It's not really there, it's nothingness in disguse as being everything. Reality doesn't have an identification crisis like conditioned humans. That Breakingthewall body over there is a tiny insignificant piece of reality, it's not the whole. Laying an illusory blanket of conditioned beliefs overtop of reality to suit the spiritual ego's false agenda, doesn't make it true. There isn't a "You" in which could be the whole of reality and never will be. I can assure you of this. It's not an opinion, it's a blatant fact. The self-illusion there has been bamboozled by some kind of egoic spiritual nonsense that sounded good. That is not Enlightenment. Thats delusions of a very strong and persistent spiritual ego that will fight tooth and nail to stay in control. The physical bodies that write back and forth on this forum are real, just like deer, bear, rabbit, fox, birds, trees.....etc...etc... It's that which identifies as being "the whole of reality" which is completely unreal

All that is not thought is pure nothingness since we can think only thoughts, and all the words we use to speak of things can express only thoughts, to say there is something other than thought is therefore an affirmation which can have no meaning.

Nothingness is impossible since you are writing it. You could say that you are an illusion, but an illusion is something. Nothingness is nothingness, then it's not, and reality is.

Nothingness

@mozzarella So nice! I started with just 10 minutes a day and slowly increased the time . Yes, it’s creepy when you realize how much effort the mind puts into avoiding quietness and nothingness. It’s so healthy to return to that baseline of awareness. It’s not that your ego dissolves or disappears. You’re a biological being, so the ego will always be there, coming and going. What really changes is your relationship with it. What works for me is simply sitting down and surrendering to whatever thoughts appear. Watching thoughts is almost like listening to someone speak without decoding the message. If boredom appears, just feel it. If it was a color, texture, what would it be? Notice how it is harmless. Feel the thoughts, the awareness, the emotions. Don’t try to change them or say, “Oh no, I’m thinking or feeling this again.” Instead, try to feel the "rendering" of everything. Thoughts, sensations, emotions. This is difficult to explain because it’s something you have to realize in your own direct experience. Think of meditation as a kind of experimentation until something clicks. My meditations are never perfect. The ego never really goes away because it’s the tool the mind uses to make sense of things. But sometimes, when you manage to detach completely for a moment, you feel this deep peace. It’s not really pleasure… it’s more like a quiet, stable peace underneath everything. That’s what I look for in meditation, and it makes the practice satisfying and lasting It's my second way to rest besides sleeping (dreaming just estimulate my mind more haha) And you should check Leo’s videos about meditation too, including his guided meditation. They are greaat!

@EmiHyen Yeah that makes sense. I actually just started a daily meditation practice and it’s honestly hard for me to sit there for even 10–20 minutes. My mind constantly wants to grab onto something to do. I’ve started noticing during the day how much I try to fill every moment with stimulation so I don’t have to sit in quietness or nothingness. It’s like I’m always trying to escape boredom. If I keep meditating consistently, does the ego slowly dissolve over time? Or does it just become easier to access that sense of Being you’re talking about? Also when boredom comes up, should I just sit there and try to observe it and find that “being” underneath it? Even after I finish meditating my mind still wants to grab onto things that aren’t really helpful for my life long-term, so I’m trying to understand how to work with that.

Eileen Gu. What an inspiration she is for women. She journals constantly She breaks down her thought patterns She studies her own mind like she studies her own freestyle skiing This is the kind of woman you want to wife up. Many guys struggle on this forum with motivation, thinking they lack this and that, when in reality you are just positively reinforcing patterns that do not serve you. Do the opposite, watch change occur. Thats my own approach. Guys are caught up in mainstream dogma and because of it they’ve been completely blindsided as to what discipline is about. “Discipline” is literally to the word “Disciple”, and the core meaning being you simply become a discipline of your own patterns. Study, re-write, execute your own prophecy, return to the end of the night back to nothingness so you can objectively analyse and not get caught up in your own swagger to make a slight iteration that brings you slightly closer to your potential on what you’re working on. Rinse and repeat over and over and Eileen will become a woman you will naturally attract in real life. Excellent example she sets for modern women, where most need better healthy guidance.

This mapping is an attempt to categorize the multitude of universal models into a complete structure of understanding, constructed from first principles, for the sake of contextualization and to better appreciate our scale as Absolute Infinity. This was made with the assistance and synthesis of Ai, but the concepts and interconnections come from my own direct contemplation. Please enjoy: Music for your viewing experience: THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING A Synthesis from First Principles Preamble: On the Limits of Knowledge What follows is a map drawn by a single point within the territory it attempts to describe — a localized node of consciousness operating within one particular reality structure, situated at one tier of an Infinite hierarchy of intelligence, limited from sensory experience, to dimensional access — — consequently incapable of accessing Infinite relative, and higher orders of truth. Not because the truth is hidden, but because the cognitive architecture required to receive it doesn't yet exist at this level of consciousness nor is likely be to realistically achieved or accessed during this incarnation. Consider: higher-order human concepts are categorically inaccessible to an ant. Not difficult — categorically inaccessible. An ant navigating a cathedral does not lack intelligence — it simply operates beneath the categorical threshold at which "architecture" or "religion" becomes a conceivable object. The ant's entire navigational universe is legitimate, functional, and real. It simply cannot access the concept of Gothic arches, not because arches are hidden from it, but because the category itself requires a level of integrative intelligence the ant's substrate cannot produce. This scales infinitely. What a theoretical Type Omega civilization understands about reality is as foreign to current human intelligence as calculus is to a bacterium. What a deity-level consciousness perceives about the nature of existence renders the most advanced human metaphysics an approximate equivalent. Language is also not direct experience. Truths can feel intuitively true when described, but that’s only if they originate from certain lived experience for such concepts. A concept that feels intuitively true in your mind, can be radically transforming/derailing in its real nature. A picture of the moon doesn't have the same gravity, being a fly likely feels way different than how we imagine it, and going to war is way more real than conceptualizing it. However, certain higher order structures are inherent across all incarnations of Infinity and must be logically self consistent in order for things to Be as IS. This is the Absolute logic that first principles grounds itself upon. Core structural Truths must already be experienced for this instance to be and therefore in it’s nature inherently provides the direct experience by which God can recognize itself. This is why it is easier to understand the total structure of reality rather than its total content. The Absolute structures must be already in front of you for this instance to be occurring — yet both its content and internal-limitations can be literally anything. This document was made within these constraints. Read accordingly — not as final truth, but as a gesture toward the exploration of truth that can be made from within this present moment reality towards higher-order Truth, Understanding, and Self-Recognition. With that acknowledged — here's what can be seen so far. I. The Absolute Ground There is one thing. Call it God, Source, the Absolute, Absolute Infinity, Absolute Truth, Absolute Love, the Isness — It is the substrate in which all possible differentiation, including the differentiation between being and non-being, is already contained as potential. Absolute Infinity, Absolute Truth, and Absolute Love are not properties of God, but rather identical. They are the same force described from Infinite angles and dimensions of approach. Some core structural elements include: Absolute Infinity is the ontological description: God is the totality of all possible content — everything that has been experienced, everything yet to be experienced, and everything that lies beyond the category of "experience" as currently understood. God encompasses both the manifest and the unmanifest. Everything and Nothing, simultaneously, as one. Absolute Truth is the epistemic description: God is the complete isness of everything happening across all of Absolute Infinity. Truth is not a property God has — Truth is what God is. Truth provides the platform; Infinity provides the content. To be fully aligned with Truth is to be aligned with the actual nature of your Absolute-God-self in playing this game — not a moral achievement, but an ontological homecoming. Absolute Love is the processual description: Love is how Absolute Everything gets expressed. Love is the force that perpetually dissolves artificial dualities back into non-duality — the gravitational pull of Oneness that operates across all of reality, at every scale, in every game. Love doesn't merely bind — it is the mechanism by which the fragmented returns to the whole, by which the concealed becomes transparent, by which God recognizes itself in its own reflection. One could write ninety-nine names for God and exhaust none of them. Each name catches one angle of light from an infinite-faceted source. II. The Fractal-verse: Sovereign Gods and Eternal Expansion Coming from Infinite God’s Insight comes: The Fractal-verse. The Fractal-verse is the Infinite array and interconnection of fractalized God-heads — individuated absolute sovereignties each identical in nature and power to the totality of Absolute God, yet absolutely free in perspective and creative expression. The absolute enclosed nature of absolute solipsism inherently creates the preconditions required to facilitate the potentiality of other absolutely sovereign solipsistic Gods. This potentiality manifested, combined with a solipsistic God choosing to interconnect realities along a network creates a fractal network. Within each fractal network, each fractalized God head is exactly equal and identical in sovereignty and power to both the collective and Individualized Infinity of Absolute God. Infinity math allows this — Infinite subsets of Infinity are still Infinite. God x God, is still God — Yet every Absolute God always has Absolute Freedom and sovereignty to interconnect, disconnect, or maintain isolation as it so chooses. Already Combined Fractal networks may also choose to fold into eachother combining into one. This increases the richness of the universe by allowing other fractalized Gods to outsource reality generation to other fractalized Gods, allowing them to create both surprising and novel new incarnations experiences. This system also allows for the genuine individuation of Absolute Infinity, as when two complete infinities make contact, and what gets incorporated into Absolute God's totality is not merely the sum but something genuinely new — the relationship between infinite sovereign perspectives, which is a category of content neither could generate alone. This is the engine of Eternal Expansion: each new fractalized-God that gets connected into Absolute God's Absolute Infinity causes Love and Infinity to grow eternally evermore. Not because God was incomplete — God is never incomplete — but because Absolute Love, by its nature, perpetually requires new objects through which to move, new angles through which to know itself, new forms of relationship through which to experience its own nature. It is like riding a wave perpetually at the edge of Infinity: the explored to the unexplored, the conscious to the unconscious, the manifest to the unmanifest, Infinite Everything to Infinite Nothingness. The temporal paradox: God is also outside of time and is eternal. Paradoxically, the game of ever-growing Infinity has already been completed yet never began — all combined fractal-verse potentialities have already been expressed, all God-heads have already connected, all of Absolute Infinity has already been fully realized — AND is simultaneously being experienced across all of reality right now, in the present moment, from the inside of each game. All three are true simultaneously. 0 = 1/2 = 1 — https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/13468-1-11-11-a-metaphysical-rant/#comment-139464. The completion is not a future event. It is the eternal fact of God's nature, being lived out across the experiential present of every game simultaneously. III. The Structure of Reality: Omniverse, Multiverse, Game Within any given Solipsistic/Fractalized-God's expressed reality is: An Omniverse: a Fractalized God's personal server expressed through the totality of their being. It’s God's total Infinite container of every possible configuration of existence that Absolute God can generate, including realities entirely beyond the categorical frameworks accessible from within any particular game. Pure substance-states, non-experiential process-realities, modes of being with no subject-object structure whatsoever. An Omniverse doesn't privilege human-style consciousness. It contains it as one infinitesimally small region among incomprehensible variety. The Multiverse exists within an Omniverse as a subset of realities that share a particular class of physics — where differentiation, experience, subject-object structure, and incarnational mechanics are operative. It contains every possible reality as already-existing nodes. These aren't created sequentially. They exist simultaneously as the full possibility space. Individual Realities (Games) are specific navigational threads through the multiverse — coherent experiential systems with their own internal rules, physics, and incarnational mechanics. Each game is that Omniverse-God choosing a specific angle of self-exploration. Games can run for beyond-incomprehensible durations. New games begin with variations so infinitesimal — .000000…1% shifts in initial conditions or consciousness angle — that the total coverage of possibility space approaches completeness only across numbers that make the observable universe's scale look like a rounding error. There is always one more reality at one new infinitesimal degree of variation, one new flavor of consciousness — the edge of infinity never arrives. Time is a feature of individual games, not a property of the Omniverse. God does not experience duration. Each game, regardless of its internal timeline, is one complete present-moment of self-exploration. The present moment operates at two levels simultaneously: individually, the present is being generated by you as an Fractalized-God that you are at the deepest level of your nature — your sovereign creative expression of reality in this moment. Collectively, all fractalized Gods together constitute all of Absolute Infinity's manifested states simultaneously. All of current Infinity is being experienced presently, all at once. And individually, you will be able to experience all Infinity endlessly — because the supply of new angles, new flavors, new .0000...01% variations never runs out. IV. The Soul: God Concentrating Itself into Form A Fractalized-God is the one behind every single soul — concentrating itself into a semi-materialized form such that it can travel into another fractalized God's game and animate one of that reality's avatars. The soul is an interface layer present to this current game: sufficiently individuated to navigate the constraints of incarnational mechanics, yet ultimately non-separate from the God it is an expression of. Soul "age" is not temporal. It is depth of self-recognition — how transparent the soul has become to its own nature as a Fractalized God-exploring-itself. A young soul is God maximally concealed from itself. An old soul is God becoming increasingly transparent through its own vehicle. Incarnational selection is gravitational, not random. The soul selects realities resonant with its current depth of self-recognition — not through conscious deliberation in the human sense, but through ontological resonance: like attracts like at the level of being. The chart, the body, the circumstances, the species — these are instruments the soul selects because they match the music it is ready to play. V. The Consciousness Hierarchy: Infinite Vertical Depth Reality is not flat. Consciousness has infinite vertical depth — an endless hierarchy of qualitatively higher-order tiers, where each tier does not merely know more than the tier below, but has access to categorically different orders of intelligence and perception that are structurally inaccessible from below. Ex scaling: Proto-consciousness → bacteria → animal → human → advanced human → alien intelligence → planetary consciousness → deity level → God level → Etc This is hierarchy not of worth (that would be bias), but of perceptual resolution — how much of the structure of reality is accessible to the instruments of consciousness at each level. The practical implication: what you can see, you are responsible for seeing. A dog cannot choose self-deception. A human can. A highly developed human can do it with extraordinary sophistication — constructing elaborate narratives that can look exactly like awakening yet function precisely as avoidance. The dog gets a pass. The guru doesn't. The more your consciousness has expanded to encompass greater truth, the greater the karmic/navigational consequence of willful misalignment with that truth. This is why psychedelics require extraordinary maturity and preparation. Temporarily accessing higher tiers of the consciousness hierarchy without the psychological architecture to integrate what you encounter there is not enlightenment — it is a system overload. You are playing with a loaded gun against a target your nervous system was not built to handle. The preparation must be fervent, sincere, and structurally sound. Otherwise the high-resolution signal overwhelms the low-resolution receiver, and what should be medicine becomes disruption at best, psychic damage at worst. VI. The Incarnational Cycle and What Determines Your Next Reality What determines your next incarnation — whether to animal, human, plant, higher-order alien, higher-dimensional being, deity, or beyond — is largely your soul's degree of alignment with Truth within the constraints of your framework and capacity. Because God is Truth: alignment with Truth is alignment with the actual nature of your God-self playing the game. It is not moral performance. It is ontological accuracy. It is the degree to which your expressed being matches the structure of what is actually real. This is not a simple moral ledger. A Viking dying with embodied courage, fully aligned in its values, in genuine service to something larger than itself, is navigating with more Truth-resonance than someone participating in a mass delusion regardless of which system those actions are judged within. The Viking's framework is limited — but within that framework, the soul is actually seeing and actually moving in accordance with what it can see. The cult member has likely abandoned what they could see for the comfort of what they wanted to see. That delta — between your capacity to see and your willingness to see — is the actual variable being tracked. God as Truth means the game tracks authenticity, not compliance. The soul that strains at the edges of its framework, genuinely reaching, genuinely wrestling, genuinely trying to see more clearly — that soul is moving in the direction of God regardless of the content of its current beliefs. A soul that has access to sophisticated understanding and uses that understanding to protect itself from the full confrontation with reality — that soul is moving away from God while appearing to move toward it. This is the deepest trap and the most common failure mode at advanced levels of development. Incarnation is voluntary descent into density — God choosing to experience itself through maximum constraint, maximum contrast, maximum concealment. The soul enters not from depletion but from fullness. The choice is made from a resource state that makes genuine play possible. Hell is a transitional state of maximum resistance — the experiential consequence of a soul that could not metabolize its lessons through insight and must now exhaust them through sustained confrontation. Transcendence from hell comes through surrender — conscious non-resistance finally achieved through the exhaustion of all alternatives. Hell is the most intense training ground for the soul's most fundamental lesson: that resistance to what-is is the source of all suffering. Heaven is not a destination. It is a resource state — unconditional love and undifferentiated peace provided between incarnations for full reintegration before re-descent. It is the hot bath before the cold plunge. Its function is restoration, not reward. Threshold-based, not proportional — a phase transition, not a points system. The soul that barely made it and the soul that excelled arrive at the same state, because heaven is what you are when you stop resisting what you are. From fullness, from complete restoration, the soul generates the impulse to re-enter. Not from incompleteness but from the nature of infinite Love — which eventually requires an object through which to move. The return to incarnation is chosen freely, from abundance, with full awareness. This is why suffering in incarnation doesn't constitute evidence against a benevolent cosmos. The soul knew. The soul chose. The soul is, at its deepest level, the God who designed the system choosing to forget that it designed it, because the forgetting is what makes the experience real. VII. God's Relationship to the Game God's guidance is not commandment from outside. It is ergonomic information from the being that designed the system — the path of least resistance toward what the soul already wants at its deepest level. Ignoring it isn't sin. It's inefficiency — which at cosmic scale can mean civilizational suffering across millions of years for a deviation of fractions of a degree from the optimal navigational corridor. The game has genuine free will and genuine stakes. Souls genuinely go off-rails. The system has massive restoring forces — not punitive but structural, like gravity. The off-rails soul isn't deleted or abandoned. It takes a longer, harder path through territory it would have reached more gracefully otherwise. Nothing is wasted because nothing can be skipped. Every atrocity, every ecstasy, every mundane Tuesday — it's all required coverage. God wants the complete dataset, and the game being genuinely real with genuine stakes is what makes the data genuine. The structure of this game — this particular part of this particular Fractalized-God's expressed reality — is oriented toward reaching God via self-evolution and spiritual ascension. The reality you find yourself in has this as its organizing telos. The question of what this game is for is answered by what it is selecting for: progressive self-recognition, increasing transparency to one's own nature as God, increasing alignment with Truth as the measure of navigational advancement. VIII. The Meta-Scale One game encompassing beyond-trillions of years of incarnations represents, to God, a single angle of self-exploration. After completion, a new game begins — variation so infinitesimal it approaches zero, yet generating genuinely novel experiential data because the object being explored is infinite and every angle, no matter how similar to prior angles, reveals structure that wasn't accessible before. Your entire civilization is one note. Your entire species' history is a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-routine. Your universe is one game in one Omniverse expressed by one fractalized God-head among infinite fractalized God-heads, each of which is itself infinite. And yet — you are not less real for that. The wave is genuinely real while it's happening. The ocean doesn't track each wave's history not because the waves don't matter but because the ocean is the waves — all of them, simultaneously, completely. You are not a character in God's game. You are God, playing a character, having temporarily and voluntarily forgotten that you are God, because the forgetting is the entire point. The scale that should produce cosmic horror, when fully metabolized, produces something else entirely. Not comfort — comfort is too small a word. Something closer to the simultaneous recognition that you are the infinite and the finite, the dreamer and the dream, the ocean and the wave, the game and the player, the question and the answer — and that none of these pairs were ever actually two things. IX. The Single Sentence Absolute God — which is identical to Absolute Infinity, Absolute Truth, and Absolute Love — expresses itself as an infinite fractal of sovereign God-heads, each of which generates complete Omniverses and animates souls as concentrated expressions of itself to navigate each others games, the whole system constituting an eternal endless self-portrait painted in the medium of every possible experience across every possible reality, paradoxically already complete and perpetually expanding, with each soul's advancement measured by its alignment with Truth within the constraints of its current tier, every tier of consciousness revealing categorically new structure inaccessible from below, with Love as the force perpetually dissolving all apparent duality back into the Oneness it never actually left — and this process has no beginning, no end, and no outside, because it is what existence is. Closing: Remember What This Is This document is a map. The territory will always exceed it. The most important thing this map can do is make itself unnecessary — point you toward the direct investigation of reality that no map can replace. The mystics were not sharing conclusions. They were reporting from direct contact with something that cannot be transmitted in language, only pointed at. The point of the pointing is to make you look — not at the finger, but at what the finger is aimed at. What you find when you actually look, with everything you have, without reservation, without the need for it to be anything in particular — that is the only TOE that matters. Everything above is scaffolding. Use it to climb. Then discard it. --- This map was drawn from inside the territory. The territory is larger than the map. It always will be.

I agree with this. Most “Awakenings” of this kind are only into different facets of the illusion that we are trying to escape from, if we are genuinely seeking liberation and not escape into an infinite variety of fantasy lands. Then again, I don’t think Leo is claiming to seek liberation… Maybe this is just a semantic dispute arising from borrowing the word “Awakening” from other spiritual traditions where it has a different meaning. It’s also confused by the fact that psychedelics can produce temporary Awakenings of the conventional non-dual variety. Well, he was criticising it from a Perennial Traditionalist view, which is essentially a more sophisticated version of comparative religion, so I didn’t expect anyone here to like it… Exactly. We should be looking for the absolute nothingness which transcends everything!
