Peter Ralston On LOVE - Newsletter Response

[EmiHyen]

If infinity is everything, then it cannot exclude anything from itself, because there is nothing outside of it.

Love, in its deepest sense, is union and integration.

Human love moves in that direction. When you love, you want to merge, get closer, hug, kiss, dissolve separation. Even letting something be is a form of love, because you fully allow its existence instead of rejecting it.

Infinite is Love because the Infinite is Absolute integration.

Love is Absolute integration.

No. Love has nothing do with semantics.

You are either conscious that everything is Love or you are not.

If this puzzles you, then you aren't conscious of Love.

If is no different than the word God. If the word God puzzles you, then you aren't conscious of it.

When you say, "But calling it love is just a word", that means you haven't realized Love. It's not just a word. Infinite Love is being pointed to and you're not getting it.

A coin has 2 sides (Love/Truth) but is 1. You can use multiplicity to explain a singularity. That actually shows the CORE of Infinity. If God couldn't be multiple things God would not be Infinte.

I stand by my word.

You will never describe it.

Though I do agree there is value in the attempts.

You cannot but there are certain realizations during awakening.  I have had No Self,Infinity,  Consciousness, emptinees/Nothingness,  .Aloness/Oneness.  That last one was the Absolute Solipsism one..there wasnt a realization I was God i just was God.  All were best described as full body kundalini awakenings.  All meditation.  Never touched psychedelics..Very much like Ralston.  But Leo's enlightenment videos triggered the awakenings for me.  They were all filled wifh Divinity and what i can describe as Infinite bliss - too much for any finite form.   All these descriptions fall short..But nothing that said it was love.   But it was ineffable for sure.  And it did have me in tears.  If that ain't love I don't know what is.

Speculating, but I wonder if Ralston has gotten trapped in his own survival paradigm.

He is autistic. So likely that's the reason.

He is too detached from feeling. He is also so insulated, he takes zero feedback from any of his peers. His students just echo back everything he tells them, which creates a dangerous echochamber for him.

First of all.. Recognize that you take this present moment for granted. Recognize the miracle right before your eyes that you take completely for granted. Because you think it came from a past via a mechanism somehow from somewhere at some when. All these are groundless. =the present moment is completely mysterious and unexplainable. It just is what it is. 

You think it's not fresh it's not the "first" present moment. But it is. Also you take it for granted because you have some nice bullshit stories that explain it away. You think you are living on a earth.. In some solar system.. In some universe.in some multiverse.. . In God knows where.   but you don't recognize that this infinite regress is indeed infinite. Which means you are again "nowhere". Just now here. 

Going in nature can be quite insightful. If you pet some trees. You can notice the connection between everything. You can see how these trees are literally yourself. Try to say hi to the trees as you walk past them. People will call you nutcase but say hi to them too

. Try to notice everything as yourself. It's easier to try this exercise in nature. Plants. Trees. Animals. Sea etc because these things are beautiful and attractive. Try to feel into the beauty of them and notice that this is YOUR beauty. This is your creation.  This is YOU Period. Now imagine If you can train this capacity to include the whole universe. Such that you cough love into everything. literally every piece of existence is yourself. It's one thing to hear this or to understand this and it's different to actually grasp this in your own experience via your own method. Do whatever it takes to get there but you gotta get there.  I myself am NOT there yet but only because I have to get naked completely metaphorically speaking and arrange a dinner party with my family members and tell them “everything “.

Okay.  So you don't yet know?

I have understanding . But what I meant is that at some point you should quit pussyfooting around what your level of knowledge in front of society fearing rejection and being perceived as a weirdo .  Look at Osho he spits the motherfucking truth in front of all the world in his books and lectures. Take Leo as role model .. I’m not sure what’s Leo relationship with his family and peers but he literally talks on YouTube every week saying the motherfuking truth and what he is conscious of in front of the whole world . You have to be honest about what you’re doing in life . You can’t blabber about spiritual things in a forum then in real life you put on a thousand masks of falsehood to fit in with the delusions of society. The only barrier is fear .

In order for God to be God, it has to create finite forms. This has been said many times before. It has to “forget,” metaphorically, that It is One, the same, all of Itself. So to do that, it creates other forms, finite forms of Itself, that forget they are It.

The process by which you remember and “reunite” with yourself, with God, is called Love. When you recognize and remember yourself as God, you experience beauty, love, awakening, bliss, and ecstasy.

When you fall in love, you recognize the other as yourself, or you recognize God, the beauty within the other. Then you want to unite completely: through your thoughts, your eyes, your lips, your bodies, your genitals, your sounds, your moans, your whispers. That whole process is Love.

Love is one of the aspects of God. It is a mechanism through which God “others” Itself and then reunites with Itself once again.

You cannot have unity between finite beings without Love.

You cannot have finitude without observation.

You cannot have finitude without Consciousness.

Interesting.

I've never heard him say that.

 

[Someone here]

Autistic how ? How can you be autistic and highly conscious and intelligent?  Though His talking is not steady .. he opens a topic then immediately run into a tangent and blabber for ten minutes then returns back to the main point ..but I have the book of not knowing on my phone and he is accurate as a knife in contemplation. 

[Xonas Pitfall]

One way to think of God is as an infinite “playground” in which finite forms can appear and exist, like children playing within it. In this view, humans and all other finite things are expressions within that field of existence.

Truth, love, and consciousness can then be understood as the “ground” or “medium” of that playground. They are not separate objects inside the system, but the underlying conditions that make experience itself possible. They function like the background container that allows separate beings to arise, relate, and persist as distinct yet connected forms within the whole.

1. If that “playground” (universe or God) were not truth, then there would be a fundamental bias in which forms could exist and which could not exist, making it an inaccurate medium for the expression of ALL infinity.
2. If that “playground” (universe or God) were not pure, unfiltered consciousness, then there would be a fundamental bias in which forms could be perceived and which could not be perceived, like a human eye that cannot see the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum of color, making it an incomplete medium for the expression of ALL infinity.
3. If that “playground” (universe or God) were not love, then there would be a fundamental bias in which forms are preferred and which are not preferred to exist, more or less loved, creating separation and hierarchy, making it an inconsistent medium for the expression of ALL infinity.

Maybe but according to you I wouldn't qualify for a psychedelic retreat because of certain mental disorders.   😀

He has a very cold, logical, overly masculine mental attitude toward everything.

With that kind of attitude, love could get lost.

He is so cold that if you squirt water up his ass you'll get an ice cube.
