Even if we are in a dream, what does it mean? What does a dream mean?

You are trying to reach outside of infinity to define infinity, which is impossible, since everything is infinity.

Infinity is undefinable, because any definition you construct will be infinity itself. You see, definition requires duality, but reality is nondual.

When you ask such questions it is like trying to pull yourself out of quicksand by pulling on your own hair.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Yeah, it then goes to, like, eternal regression, and it is Mind trying to pinpoint itself, but it is not an it.

Making distinctions is intelligence,

As you see, Putting meaning, naming and labeling  (“Making”, “distinction”, “intelligence”) creates the distinction.

There is the thought of Mind, and the actuality of Mind. 

Transcending a thought is not the same as transcending the mind - imo. 

No, mind is a thought. If you never learn what mind is can you ever be aware of it? Or if you dont think about the mind, will it be exist?

Mind is thought in the same way that life is dog.

Everything is the Mind.

Mind is a thing that dreams/imagines. And since it is infinite there is nothing outside of it.

And of course, in strange loop fashion, Mind imagines itself into existence. Which is how God created itself.

Alright. But there is a mechanism of some sort. It's obvious to me.

Yes, letting go and simply admiring the magic of it is beautiful. But it can be understood directly - imo.

I think the mechanism is you.

@Vibroverse So how the heck am I doing all of this?

Because you exist ? It is your nature. Creating mechanisms.

You can unravel the mechanism endlessly, since it is infinite.

That's what science is in the endless business of doing. You are talking about science.

@Vibroverse That seems like an 'easy way out' to me.

It's possible to know. Not knowing is only half of the journey.

@ivankiss Go get a PhD in neuroscience and maybe you'll discover a tiny, tiny part of the mechanism if you devote your entire life to research.

Indeed. Science of consciousness.

I'd say that's unnecessary. All I really need is a strong enough will and sharp enough awareness. 

Yes it's infinite. And yes there is 'a root'.

Let's create our own science, our own mythology. Let's tell our own resonant stories. This is our darn dream.

See, you want to know but you're lazy as fuck and refuse to do any of the work while some poor PhD student slaves away in a lab.
