Just admit it…and surrender to the inevitable truth

Personally, I don’t like you, so obviously there’s going to be a personality clash with you and me. You’ve already made it clear you don’t like me, remember. Now discuss ideas, not people.

I don't feel that way.  I don't mind you.  I actually don't like this personalized interaction.  It's not about that for me.  I think we agree on your last sentence.

[Mellowmarsh]

I used to like you once upon a time, but I have to admit, I’ve got an absolutely terrible sense of judgment when it comes to dealing with other people’s personal characters. I don’t vibe with your energy that’s all. Your energy is just not my cup of tea.

You once asked me to block you.
So I  don’t believe a single word you say. You’re the most contradictory person on this forum, you give me a headache.

And yet your the one who’s always preaching about wanting to know who exactly you are talking to,  needing to see their faces in their avatar slot, wanting to make genuine real face to face connection, suggesting zoom call meetings…etc etc…

If that’s not about personalised interaction, then what the freaking eek you going on about?

 

You couldn’t be more weird if you tried. Honestly, just stop contradicting yourself. 
 

And why is your YouTube comment section closed to your readers, so don’t talk to me about control, hypocrite. You want to control the narrative, that’s your personality, the only reason you see a huge ego in me here, is because I hold the perfect mirror up to your face.

Patanjali, Yoga Sutra 4:15

वस्तुसाम्ये चित्तभेदात्तयोर्विभक्तः पन्थाः ॥ ४.१५ ॥
vastusāmye cittabhedāttayorvibhaktaḥ panthāḥ || 4.15 ||

(15) In spite of sameness of objects, on account of there being separate minds they (the object and its knowledge) follow different paths that is why they are entirely different.

Awakening is death. It’s how you understand death so that death is accepted and surrendered to with ease and grace.

Death is never your experience, only in life is death known, because life and death are the same one reality, just differing in appearance, that’s all. 

These teachings originated, in theory, from the God of Death, Yama.  Naturally, the God of Death will assert that Dying is the highest virtue.

What is "who"

This is an excellent question.  

Zohar Prologue: Verse 7
בְּרֵאשִׁית. רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פָּתַח, שְׂאוּ מָרוֹם עֵינֵיכֶם וּרְאוּ מִי בָרָא אֵלֶּה. שְׂאוּ מָרוֹם עֵינֵיכֶם. לְאָן אֲתַר, לַאֲתַר דְּכָל עַיְינִין תָּלְיָאן לֵיהּ. וּמָאן אִיהוּ, פֶּתַח עֵינַיִם. וְתַמָּן תִּנְדְּעוּן, דְּהַאי סָתִים עַתִּיקָא דְקַיְימָא לַשְּׁאֵלָה, בָּרָא אֵלֶּה. וּמָאן אִיהוּ, מִ"י. הַהוּא דְאִקְרֵי מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם לְעֵילָּא, דְּכֹלָא קַיְּימָא בִּרְשׂוּתֵיהּ. וְעַל דְּקַיְימָא לַשְּׁאֵלָה, וְאִיהוּ בְּאֹרַח סָתִים וְלָא אִתְגַּלְיָא, אִקְרֵי מִ"י, דְּהָא לְעֵילָּא לֵית תַּמָּן שְׁאֵלָה. וְהַאי קְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם אִקְרֵי מִ"י.

"In the beginning..." Rabbi Elazar began the discussion by quoting, "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things?" (Isaiah 40:26). "Lift up your eyes on high," to what place?  To that place to which all eyes are turned. And who is He that created these things? He is the opening of the eyes ( or literally translated "nothing" ), And there you shall know that this concealed Ancient-One, to which a question can be applied. 

Who has created these? And who is He?  He is called 'from the end of heaven on high,' as everything is in His domain. And since one can ask about Him, and He is concealed and not revealed, He is called "Who?", because beyond Him, one may not pose questions. Thus, the end of heaven is called  'Who?'

Zohar Prologue: Verse 8
וְאִית אָחֳרָא לְתַתָּא וְאִקְרֵי מַ"ה. מַה בֵּין הַאי לְהַאי, אֶלָּא קַדְמָאָה סְתִימָאָה דְּאִקְרֵי מִ"י קַיְּימָא לַשְּׁאֵלָה, וְכֵיוָן דְּשָׁאַל בַּר נָשׁ וּמְפַשְׁפֵּשׁ לְאִסְתַּכְּלָא וּלְמִנְדַע מִדַּרְגָּא לְדַרְגָּא עַד סוֹף כָּל דַּרְגִּין, כֵּיוָן דְּמָטֵי תַּמָּן מַ"ה, מַה יָּדַעְתָּ, מַה אִסְתָּכַּלְתָּא, מַה פִּשְׁפַּשְׁתָּא, הָא כֹּלָא סָתִים כִּדְקַדְמֵיתָא.

There is another one down below called "What?".  And what is the difference between "Who" and "What"?   The first one is concealed and is called "Who?". It remains a question:  Once one has searched and inquired in order to understand and climb from one level to another, and has finally reached the end level of "All", he is asked: "What?" What have you learned? What have you seen? What have you attended to, since everything is still concealed and hidden as before!

Zohar Prologue: Verse 10
מִ"י קְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם לְעֵילָא, מַ"ה, קְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם לְתַתָּא, וְדָא יָרִית יַעֲקֹב, דְּאִיהוּ מַבְרִיחַ מִן הַקָּצֶה אֶל הַקָּצֶה, מִן הַקָּצֶה קַדְמָאָה דְּאִיהוּ מִ"י, אֶל הַקָּצֶה בַּתְרָאָה דְּאִיהוּ מַ"ה, בְּגִין דְּקָאֵים בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא. וְעַל דָּא, מִי בָּרָא אֵלֶּה.

"Who?" ... the end of heaven above,  "What?" ... the end of heaven below,  And this is what Jacob* inherited, as he "shall reach from end to end" (Exodus 26:28). From the end above, which is "Who?", down to the lower end, which is "What?".  Because he stands in the middle.  And because of this, "Who" has created these! ( Isaiah 40:26 )

* Etymology of Jacob:  "Forever clinging to the heel [of the foot]."

If there is a goal, everything that doesn't lead to it becomes a distraction from that specific goal.

There are as many paths as there are people.  Even if someone's going the "wrong way" eventually they'll right themself, if they keep going.  Because reality is spherical.

My personal direct experience shows me a reality that is “Solipsistic” and this realisation will never change, because I can’t for the life of me see any other reason to be convinced of an alternative reality.

this realization will never change because it is rewarding

you have suffered for this realization?  If so, it's painful to consider the realization is wrong and the path and the corresponding pain was in vain.

I don't believe in karma or that reality is a zero sum game or any like that.

Though, I do believe that reality has some balance, but the way that balance works is more complex than my comprehension.

So we don't actually always arrive at our goals. Detours could lead us astray and away from our goals. That's the most likely outcome of any distraction.

I really don’t care if the realisation is wrong, or that the path to this realisation was in vain. I simply don’t care. That my realisation is wrong would not pain me one iota, because only I live inside my head, so only I get to pick what feels right for me.. 

 

Others can resonate or disagree, it’s their prerogative, but it won’t matter to me, I can only be in my universe, therefore totally understand that others are in theirs, obviously. So nothing I’ve discovered about the truth is in vain, which to be honest is just a stupid thing to say, imho. Again, solipsism is my truth, I’m only making these threads to share with the world my world view. Infinity means infinite world views, all of which are unique to each and every one of us. That’s the whole point of this forum, it’s to talk about our world views with others. But not to compare or mock, but to show how infinity expresses itself. I just can’t see the point in pointing out to others that they are not awake yet, or they are not enlightened, or on the right path, or that they may be wrong, just because someone reading doesn’t agree with what’s being expressed.

Where is solipsism in all of this?

If you truly want to, you can almost generate its absolute opposite: a state in which you are understood, seen clearly, and appreciated for the truth of who you are.

But I think we are all too shy to reach that level of honesty.

It might take something extraordinarily powerful to become so present that two minds, or more, can genuinely meet in pure presence, so 'outside of mind'.

I have my own reasons as to why I said what I said, so your comment about it, completely misses the mark. It’s remarkable how other people try to get inside other people’s heads as if they know exactly what they are meaning in their words, and then try to tell them what they think is better and good for them. How noble of you. It’s just more Pointless BS

Solipsism just means all there is, is infinity, and nothing outside of it, or independent of it, it’s all inclusive. I don’t believe the man made dictionary interpretation of solipsism, but then that’s just another expression of infinity,. For me, solipsist is just another word for infinity.

 

The rest of your comments were very nice to read. Thanks for popping by.

I’ve never heard of said link about the god of death.

The reason I said what I said comes from my own personal introspection into the nature of reality. It’s how I personally understand life and death. I pondered long and hard about how I got here from a prior non existence, and the answer just came to me.
