My daily experience of life hasn’t changed one iota. The only change is an apparent recognition that reality is not what thought thinks it is, rather, it whatever it is, is not limited by what thought thinks it is, rather it’s a liberation from limitation it’s the entry into the infinite.

I am infinity knowing a finite experience. Not a finite experience knowing it’s infinite.

Beautiful, thank you

What I am saying is that every day now it's becoming more obvious to me that it's an illusion that there's an actual entity in there called Wilhelm who's somehow the controller.

There is a process happening in the reality, or the reality in the form of a complex process, called Wilhelm that has the drive of self preservation inherited from the origins of life and that has also the expansive drive proper of the reality itself

I'm going to feel into that and contemplate, thank you.

The I everyone refers to every time they say it is the formless, attributeless present awareness we all are at our core.

There is not formless awareness, any awareness is awareness of relative change. That's the mistake of non duality, they affirm that there is something, the consciousness, that is the foundation of reality. Consciousness is just an arising that happens in reality because it's possible

It’s not a mistake, that’s the illusion. The Awakening is already this open unlimited vastness. Instead of the ego thinking it is a limitless being (which leads to grandiosity), the awareness of relative change, is a flip so that the infinite recognises the finite vessel it is currently inhabiting.

The Psychological View: A Functional Mask

Psychology does not treat the ego as a physical thing, but rather as an essential mental construct. 

The Reality: You need an ego to function. It helps you distinguish your body from a chair, hold a job, obey laws, and manage relationships. 

The Illusion: The ego often distorts reality through defense mechanisms (like denial or projection) to protect your self-esteem. It makes you believe your temporary thoughts, labels, and roles are your absolute identity.

 

————

 The infinite absolute cannot know itself as an identity. It already is this immediate infinite absolute without the illusory division of knower and known. There is no gap between the knowing and the known. Any apparent gap is a mental fabrication, an illusion. The illusion that artificially creates the gap can equally close the gap. And nothing will have changed.

Limitless being is not grandiosity because "being" is not an entity, is a fact. It's not big or small, it's just limitless.

The infinite does things then, like recognitions? And now it knows that there is not self and that means enlightenment? So before the infinity wasn't enlightened? 

Maybe it's more simple, you are a human with a self, and that self can be open or closed. That self is a real evolutive structure that is happening. Maybe it's not permanent, but it's real now.

Exactly, the only possibile knowledge is being. You always are, but humans are closed by fear and by the inherent structure subject object that happens by the fact of a  conscious organism. Dissolving the separation and open yourself to the unlimited implies being the unlimited, that is, dissolving any limits

Maybe. With infinite possibility, anything is possible.

@Breakingthewall @Mellowmarsh instead of explaining what it is, why don't you tell the mind shut the fuck up, and just Be?

Which is the real path, not about  knowing, but walking.

@Mellowmarsh @Breakingthewall mind loves to get confirmed, stay important, accumulated knowledges to know better. Explain more and more. What it has experienced and has know.

Now the real path is surrendering that.

I like to contrast view with anyone interested in spirituality, but some people are unbearable, only ego, too narrow mind. Anyway it's interesting to see the psychology of people that is involved in this topic. Any interaction shows new nuances
