have you heard of dharmakaya?

Aye.

How is this then different from what you are teaching?

I understand the part where the spiritual traditions are imaginary and I think I get what you are pointing to, but you cannot discredit them on the sole basis of that. There are living Mahayana and Vajrayana practitioners with crazy high levels of attainment. How come you think it's not a legit method for awakening?

You can also just do a simple job, enjoy it, and make decent enough money.

For most people they are not ambitious or creative enough to need breaking out of wage slavery.

That’s bullshit. Maybes that’s for them. 
 

My work won’t even let me wear a hat when I’m cold at my own desk. Fuck that.

Because you imagine me.

But when you say "you" imagine me. 

 some might mistake you referring to the illusory "you" imagining the illusory Leo.

Think about your dreams at night...all other persons are just figments of your imagination.  You dream them all up . Once you wake up from the dream they all disappear. 

if the same dynamic is true with "real life "..then literally what's the point of social interactions with people if they are just figments of your mind and have no inner qualitative experience of their own ?

Really sit down and contemplate the implications and consequences of solipsism.  This is scary shit .

You don't get it. Your current self is a figment of "your" mind too. Others have the same inner qualitative experience as you. The real scary shit is that you are an Illusion!

If you understood what I'm saying, you'd be dead.

So mistakes are what you'll make. On purpose.

Your ACTIONS REVEAL how you REALLY FEEL. Want TRUTH? Observe and ADMIT, do the OPPOSITE of what you usually do which is observe and DENY. - Razard86

Think about it.....Leo gave the best definition of the truth I ever heard...."The truth is what is..." so if that is the truth.... YOUR ACTIONS IN THE PRESENT ARE THE TRUTH!! It's what's happening....do you like what you see? Can you accept it? You are just a SENTIENT MIRROR, OBSERVING ITS REFLECTION..... can you accept what appears? -Razard86

So if this is true, then essentially no one is awake? Anyone who ever types here is deluded would that be your consensus?

In one of my awakenings on psychedelic mushrooms, where I was conscious of my absolute self (GOD) but I was also my ego self simultaneously?

I would switch from ego self to Absolute self back and forth.

It was mind boggling.

I also had complete deconstruction of the ego on other trips.

There are degrees of awakening, the more conscious one gets, the more one awakes to truth. At least in my experience.

But I always go back to sleep, not completely. As I am aware now that I am asleep and somewhat deluded.

Can you imagine if a "neo-advaita" teacher (?) actually cared about anything aside from just stroking their ego with how much more enlightened they are than others?

They would likely have amazing shit to say.

The Godhead, the substrate of consciousness itself, is the superposition of every possible form. But then that thing polarizes down into the concrete forms that make up your present experience. So your balls exist as part of the Godhead, along with all other possible balls, but then the balls you currently have have to somehow polarize out of all those infinity of balls.

@Leo Gura Ok, so using the balls example. It sounds like you are saying the infinity of all other balls only exist as a potential until they polarize into form when I am actively observing? Is this correct?

Yes.

That's what quantum mechanics says too.

Quantum Mechanics says everything is one. Near Death survivors say everything is one. Psychedelic users say everything is one. Enlightened Master, Yogis say everything is One. There is only evidence that this is the case. Its so obvious when you connect all the dots....doesn't even make sense to think otherwise.
