How do you define a relative self?

Dude, I'm just being curious, calm down

Ok ok. But I'm just telling you. You and Carl can fuck off with all the science you would like. It's just gonna tie you down further to the ego. Trust me. Not if you want  enlightenment.  The first thing Leo is going to teach in his retreat is basically self inquiry.  You're gonna find out what you thought you were.

I see it like a painting yous are painting in the comments. As it transcended into more of an exploratory image based format via words.

The feeling yesterday went abstract (in my min... which is how it cut through). However, there was more of like a uh... watchamakalitz like a group effort...

Not just cause everyones on a diff pathz but specifically, from my perspective, its like, i experienced parts of @Inliytened1@Leo Gura's ideas, as a baseline for what was to be a perforation  /  And granted, later @Joseph Maynor @myself Added somethingz which then was like a diff topic i felt (or something intimately connected im not sure) but anyway thats how i mapped it out.

I say that, to allude to the sense making being very much complicated, but simple from a felt location as well. p.s. maybe i should add something bout yesterday, how i wasnt focused on the words nor their meaning... However, i was like, influenced, or gifted something, i just cant actually locate what that was exactly..

You're a crazy motherfucker but I like you. I like you a lot now.

Notice how nobody asked.

You didn't ask because you want a spoonful of science.

Fundamentally I do not see a duality between the finite and afinite.  This is why I don't like the relative vs. Absolute duality entirely.

What you like means nothing.  I like ice cream.

Ahh. I'm onto you.  You can only know the finite.

The afinite can be explored via awakenings.

You just have a problem with autism. You come into the nerd squad preaching basketball and beerbongs.

It doesn't inherently make you less awake to be a nerd vs a jock. It's primarily a difference in preference and temperament. Unsolicited preaching on the other hand, perhaps a strong case for an inverse (🤓) awakening relationship.

You're autistic? No you're not. And if you were i wouldn't have a problem with it. Not sure where you got that from

Gen Z uses "autism" to mean anything that vaguely resembles nerd behavior. I'm diagnostically anti-autistic.

The evaluator that asks do I like this? or do i dislike this?

These questions are asked non-verbally, deeply, constantly, all the time. Is the only things we care about

When doing logical higher thinking:  is this true? == does this feel true? == do i like this?

It's just a thing that evaluates.

I’ve also been reflecting on this lately.

I’m 24, studying IT & business and working as a tech consultant. I’ve noticed how easily I identify with my roles, ambitions, achievements, family and personal stories (very hard not to).

I like being ambitious, pursuing success and exploring life’s possibilities, because I genuinely enjoy it.

At the same time, I’m aware that underneath all these identities, there’s simply consciousness. And in the bigger picture, everything I build and identify with is temporary.

I find it challenging to strike a balance between fully engaging in life and not becoming too attached to it.

I try to develop a strong relative self without becoming too attached to it.

I actually just turned 24 and celebrated with friends and family. It made me realize that being 23, my birthday, and all those great experiences are already in the past. Even the photos are just reminders of moments that have already passed.

A reminder of how temporary everything is

I shared some of those moments on a recent post on my IG:

More specifically, I'm wondering about the moment when "God consciousness," so to speak, chooses to localize, fragment, or embody itself as a particular individual, experiencing this specific identity for the 80 or so years of a human life.

"God consciusness" don't make choices, in fact it doesn't exist, because being conscious implies limitation. "Infinite consciousness" sound nice, but is impossible, any consciousness is finite. Being conscious implies limitation in many senses. It's very obvious that consciousness is a structure that reality takes, not the substance of reality. Consciousness is a process, and any process is finite, has a beginning and an end. 

It's difficult to be open to the fact that consciousness is not ontologically different than unconsciousness, consciousness is just a property that is possible. 

Being attached to consciousness because you are conscious is a closure. If you want to open yourself to the unlimited, you have to leave it

Exactly, I didn't use even translator, and my English is very far to be perfect
