@Leo Gura

 

Leo often says things like, 'No one is awake more than I am. No one on this forum is awake.'

 

 

He hasn't said that in a while I think he's matured past that point.  It's like saying hey "I'm stronger than you so go sit down".  Being a bully leaves you in a very lonely place.   So I think he's bullying days are over and he has become too conscious for that.  At least I hope so.  Besides..proving he's more conscious than dream characters really can't be that fulfilling.

But what's your take on Solipsism itself. What direct realizations have you had (or awakenings - where are you on the spiritual path to discovering what is true) and if you haven't had any then what is your take on the ontological structure of reality based on contimplation.. .do you believe it is material or made of mind? Since we are having a discussion I'd just like to get a baseline or where you stand on certain metaphysical poiints.  Thanks in advance !

The most annoying thing to me is the Realization of Nothingness, is identical to the Realization of Infinity. Why in the hell do these humans keep thinking that they are human doing this work. Once you realize Nothingness...you realize that division is literally impossible so nothing can be outside of you. The most important thing that needs to be dropped is this belief that you are human. 

You are nothingness imagining that you are human, not the other way around. I swear majority of this forum has not realized nothingness. When I realized it, it hit me in the face so hard I realized division was impossible and that was the only illusion done. 

Yes.  It began with no self.  Then nothingness.  But I think nothingness was the most shocking.

@OBEler well he’s never explicitly presented the views as primary insights as of yet I don’t see it anywhere. Maybe he has special knowledge and the first human in history to have discovered new insights beyond Advaita Vedanta. He sure does need acknowledgement from other spiritual traditions for his discoveries.

@Mmartinez28 I think you misunderstand the whole thing. We are right now discussing his insights and our own. What exactly does it matter if we discuss insights he didn't have in this one video listed. That video was years ago. It's not actual. Also you should not see his insights as fixed they can change.

I have realized absolute solipsism. I have realized that there are no others. There is only God.

@OBEler what I’m saying my point is don’t categorized views as insights that Leo Gura never explicitly presented as insights.

@Razard86 with the help of Chatgpt4 I answer to you. Please read exactly where the issue ist. Please stay open minded, don't skip with your head. I try to tell you something . I hope with Chatgpt4 you understand my position finally:

 

I see where you're coming from. You're speaking from a radical nondual solipsistic paradigm where only direct experience exists, and everything else is imagination. I get that – and I respect the inner logic of it.

But here’s the thing: just because something is not within my current experience doesn't logically imply it cannot exist. That would be conflating epistemology with ontology.

You're saying: “If you can't confirm it, it's just a belief.”
True – I can't confirm it. But not being able to confirm something doesn't mean it's false or non-existent. It simply means: I don't know.

I prefer to stay in that space of radical not-knowing rather than collapsing everything into the assumption that I am the only reality. That, too, is just a belief – unless proven.

I'm not denying the possibility that I am the only God and you are not conscious only my perspective exists. But I’m open to the possibility that other Gods might exist too – just outside the reach of my current conscious dream (by the way Leo did that too, I don't know his actual view on that).

So the difference is: I don’t claim it must be true. I hold open the mystery. You close the mystery with total certainty.

Is this the only place on the internet where people argue 24/7 about whether other people are conscious? 

Guys, go outside.

But if you want the bottom line though..if you are truly god then yes nonduality on steroids turns into solipsism. Truth can't help but be solipsistic.  It's not totally Clear in my mind yet ..but it's one of these two possibilities:

1- no one exists or conscious but you.

2- everyone are conscious but still everyone are you .

And there is really not much difference. Its all one self talking to itself .


 "When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."

-Leo Gura.

Exactly.  But learn to shift between the Absolute and the relative.
