Why is consciousness not an illusion

@arlin "We are all one" is just a hippie/psychedelic idea.

Haha Yes... but it came from wisdom and easily misunderstood.

I believe it's pointing to the recognition that the separate individual within the body is an illusion.

Just happening...❤

@Mu_ nothing can go right or wrong but also you can't find anything. Any answers are within the dream. There is no path out of it and the rules of the game are not not to get stuck in the illusion. Illusion is all there is here. Dream is all that this can be, so why do all this work to try to get answers when there are absolutely no answers but only delusions?

You can realize all sort of things. You can realize that you are god, that you are everything or infinite. But all of this within the dream. All of this would require further understanding or still feel like something is missing which automatically confirms the separation. Its a never ending loop... Right?

Or maybe this is where the subjective/direct experience limits start to become apparent. Maybe you'd need a leap of another kind to go beyond those limits. Maybe consciousness is not the ultimate answer.

@Gesundheit if i got you right you are implying that a objective physical world is out there, and conciousness might be an illusion or?

For example, to be conscious of this moment, implies to be separate from it. To be more conscious, it still implies ti be separate from it. Only now you have made it seem like it's a bigger deal. A bigger dream. Im afraid if im going through this i will just make the dream bigger. 

Dude there is no you to become conscious of anything. You don't exist. Only consciousness exists. And that is YOU.

@Adamq8 no. There are no objects. Even the screen in front of you is the infinite screeing and thats it. 

@Someone here how did you realize that?

THIS is Consciousness. Right here.  It's not illusion. Fine? 

Now go ahead.. Where is this ghost called you?  How do you know you are the head and not the feet?  How you know you are the human feet and not  the TV screen?  

You think you are looking at the screen right now right?   That's just a thought.. Take away the thought "I am looking at the screen right now" for a moment.... All the sudden there is just pure screen happening to no one.

@VincentArogya

You're drawing conclusions/assuming things that aren't in your direct experience.

As long as you do this, you'll always be confused.

We're like Siamese twins, it's a very confusing situation. No one knows whether to look away or give us our own reality TV show.

@Shin very confused. 

@Someone here  this is happening to no one in the sense that it's not happening to a me which has a story?

So You say its not happening to you, its happening to consciousness.

@arlin  reality is nondual. It means there isn't two things that exist in reality.  There is only just reality happening to reality.    But That's also going too far. There is only just fucking THIS. Impossiblely direct.  Just THIS.  

You and a happening is two. You are conscious of reality is two. Illusion and real is two. You and consciousness is two. 

There is only one thing and THIS is it. Any divisions you think are imaginary. That includes the division between real and imaginary. Between subject and object. Between Leo and your dad. Between right and wrong. Between duality and nonduality.  

Don't try to use the mind to understand. The mind can just create distinctions. All distinctions are bullshit. Reality is ONE.  There is nothing to understand.  It all self-understands itself perfectly.  Wake up. Wake up.

You have to figure out if there is such thing as "anyone" first.

Again this is duality.. A someone.. And  a teaching to be embodied.. And a process of embodiment.   The teaching is for the ego. There is no ego to embody.  Truth can't be embodied. Who would embody it?? It embodies itself it already is itself everywhere and everywhen.  Wake up you little thread spy lol.

It is not happening TO consciousness, it IS consciousness. Even if it's just a name for 'happening', that name can be whatever. Consciousness, Reality, God, etc

Ego, the "I" thought  is just a thought, it is perceived by and in Consciousness.
