@OBEler The problem is that your notion of what ego is, is too broad. You are including sense experience into ego, which is incorrect. If you nuke the ego, you will be left with your present experience minus ego. The colors and shapes you see is not ego. Ego is just your finite self-image.

The "colors and shapes" you see is your personal dissociation (a part of the Veil of Maya, the Markov blanket), and labelling the colors and shapes as distinct entities is an operation done by the conceptual mind which the ego is a siamese twin to ("conceptual" can technically be task-oriented and "selfless" but also self-oriented as in the default mode network). But it's perfectly fair to use "ego" more broadly to refer to all these things (I personally tend to use "personal mind" for this). Nevertheless, using the term Absolute to refer to any of these things (as isolated limited things), is a mistake.

Peter Ralston argues (which I kinda agree with) that perceptions, colors, sounds, etc. are part of survival. We perceive relative to survival. Our nervous system was adapted to sounds and colors because those senses flourished survival.

It is not mistake. You do not understand what I am talking about. You are parroting Buddhism theory at me, and I directly understand God in ways you cannot comprehend and none of your theory can explain.

Buddhism is a mental trap and so is blindly following any teacher like Ralston, Gura, Spira, or whoever. Those characters are teachers but it is up to the self to decide whether to wake up or remain asleep.

I still haven’t deconstructed the external world yet despite my meditation, contemplation, and trips. For me, the stuff behind my head is as much real as the stuff in front of my head.

Yes because Markov blankets are propietary of Siddharta Gautama 500 BC, of course.

Tell me, how is a sensation, as distinct from a shape, absolute? Surely, the absoluteness occurs before any such distinction, correct?

Everything is ONE.

Buddhism has rotted your mind.

What you regard as "sensation" is actually God. You just lack the consciousness required to recognize it as such.

Yes, Mickey Mouse is God. Mickey Mouse is Absolute.

What I am telling you is so advanced you would need to meditate for 100 years to understand it.

And that's still just the tip of the iceberg of my understanding of God. This is easy stuff compared to the hard stuff. You have no chance of understanding the hard stuff at the rate you are going.

If you don't understand that Mickey Mouse is Absolute, what do you understand?

I can only be so nice for so long.

It's God when God pulls the blanket over its eyes. Lack of sensation is also God. Are you telling me the void is a sensation?

It is ALWAYS God.

Everything is always God. The only question is, Do you see it?

The Void is Infinity, as is everything else.
