Absolute and so called "others"

14 posts in this topic

Mind says it is absolute, therefore how belief of solipsism arises, which is an attachment/mind. Therefore , inevitably becomes a mind and an absolute.

Absolute is all there is, and there is no "alone".

Because, There is no space outside it to be separate, nor to “think” or “claim” aloneness.

Infinity implies extension, limit, space, time or measure, yet the Absolute transcends all concepts and boundaries. Infinity is still a mental construct; the Absolute simply is.

The Absolute, however, is beyond all concepts, beyond all boundaries.

İt is just is. Whole, complete, unbroken.

Moreover,  Enlightenment is the end of thinking, therefore, the end of the thinker / mind / you.

Therefore even So-called enlightenment itself vanishes, for the thinker never truly existed.

Physical death is the end of all pleasure, desire, suffering, etc...

At physical death, the thinker, the mind, the “you” have to surrender.

If not, death is harsh on the “you,” leaving no trace, no ashes of the thinker, no residue of mind, no “you.”

Therefore, die before you die: surrender the thinker now.

Let the body act on its own; the mind is not in command, no thinker is in.

This is true dying before physical death. 

That's why, die before you die is a say.

Because, the body dies it's own. There is no "you" in it. 

The Absolute, however, is never born, never dies, never changes, never comes or goes.

Body lives it's own, there is no you to think or control. Be empty, surrender the thinker/ mind/ you, and Abide as the Absolute always is.

It is always Now, Here. (before physical birth, after physical death, and beyond all thought.)

Mind, solipsism, and infinity are appearances in Absolute, not the Absolute.

Enlightenment is the end of the thinker, not a state to acquire.

Physical death is irrelevant to the Absolute; the real work is surrendering the mind / you before death.

The Absolute is ever-present, unchanging, beyond all thought, and already complete.

Best Regards,

Great.. So you can see that solipsism is a belief..but you can't see that "physical death" is the biggest belief and biggest cosmic joke ever ?

Body, death, solipsism, experience, experienced, infinite, universe, etc... So called Arises and falls within Absolute. 

The Absolute is not aware of multiplicity. Multiplicity is of the mind. For the Absolute, there is no second, only itself. The waves (thoughts, mind, world, even the sense of “I as a person”) rise and fall.

The ocean (the Absolute, pure Being) is not concerned with their coming or going.

To the waves, there may appear to be individuality and difference. To the ocean, there is only itself, which is vast expanse, unbroken.

Absolute is entire ocean...

The body is but a messenger, an appearance carried by the current.

There is nothing but Allah / Absolute.

Notice that in a dream at night there is an appearance of a multiple objects .there is an appearance of multiplicity. Yet once you wake up from some trippy nightmare you realize it was all you playing with you

."there is nothing but Allah "= exactly what solipsism is saying minus the "ism".

No. Comptetely the opposite:

"Solip” comes from solipsism.

The word itself is made from Latin:

solus = alone

ipse = self.

Solipsism says: “Only my mind exists, all else might be an illusion.” It is centered around the individual self (the ego-mind).

“There is nothing but Allah” (or Brahman, or the Self in Advaita) says: “Only the Absolute exists; there is no separate self, no second.” It is not the individual mind, but the Source of all.

So:

Solipsism = ego-centered view - “only I exist.”

Tawhid / Advaita = truth-centered view - “only the Absolute exists.”

They look similar in words, but are completely opposites :

Solipsism inflates the “me.”

Realization dissolves the “me.”

I don't dream, imagine or think whatsoever. Just the Moment, Now.

@James123 so let me get this right..there is an I or not ? You say the separate self is illusory in one breath and in the next breath l you say only the absolute or Allah exists.

 What is the absolute if it is not "I"?

You are more than welcome to fabricate a distinction between the" I" and the Absolute. Yet once you say tawhid or not two that means only one thing exists in existence. So please suit yourself with your contradictions.

@James123 you did not say a dam. You are using AI.

I'm not gonna give you my answer to the solipsism question but there is a lot of things in life which point to solipsism and they cannot be just coincidence.

Just imagine: before birth, now, and after death. These moments are identical when there is no attachment to thought.

For without attaching to thought, there is no “you,” no universe, no birth or death, no solipsism or infinity. All dissolves into the single reality of Now...

Life only appears through attachment to thought. Without clinging, there is no “you,” no universe, no birth or death, no solipsism or infinity.

In truth, there is no before or after, no coming or going. This is simply waking from the dream.

Yet the dream continues.

You are That, the eternal Now / Moment. The body is only an instrument through which That speaks.

This is the whole of spirituality. Nothing more.

Just be still.

Exactly, so it is all delusions, clinging to thoughts, the past, future, the one doing whatever you say they're doing wrong, stillness, no stillness, all concepts, all ideas, stories, whatever it's all the Absolute appearing as...aka. the waves and the waves in the ocean has no reality of their own. Try grabbing a wave...can't. The wave isn't really there and neither are the appearances of which you speak of. There is only the Absolute. Everything else are simply appearances which makes them apparent and what that means it nothing is really happening..,,.only apparently so.


What you know leaves what you don't know and what you don't know is all there is.

You got it and nice avatar picture


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.
