Truth ..ideas..beliefs..assumptions etc

[Someone here]

 Yesterday I asked Leo a question about how can you say that "reality is a dream "? Since everything Is just itself and not some other thing.  Its a perfectly symmetrical tautology . Reality is reality. Nothing more .if you guys follow my posts I try to be epistemologically rigorous because of the tricky nature of language and the mind. And I have a suggestion to create more fruitful  philosophical discussions on this forum:

We must always be clear and concise in our language..so that philosophical discourse makes sense and the thoughts we converse about actually point to existing/comprehensible things in reality. (I know that  that begs the question of who defines what "existing/comprehensible" things are.)..

I say now that all of this existential Inquiries  are infinite regressing phenomena that covers no ground.. precisely because there was no ground to cover in the first place. I am well aware that this is exceedingly radical.. but I'm going to write a few of my points like this :

1. All definitions are not definite.
2. All ideas are assumptions.
3. All ideas are beliefs.
4. All ideas refer to themselves and only themselves. Ideas exist in relation to other ideas.
5. Following premise 4.. ideas are all relative.
6. All ideas can be questioned in an infinitely regressing fashion.
7. All ideas are fundamentally groundless.


To notice this for  youself..you have to question whether or not you "know" anything at all.

 truth cannot be a belief. Which makes me conclude that truth cannot be an "idea".. Since  all ideas are assumptions and  beliefs that ultimately cover nothing. Many of you can probably point out contradictions or paradoxes from everything that I've said up until now. But what I'm saying is that paradox/contradiction is inherent to the nature of "meaning" and "definitions" and ultimately.. ideas. Not reality itself. 

If you have any questions please go ahead ?.

The best way I found to distinguish beliefs from 'Reality is by being honest about my experience, now.

For example, everything that we hear from Leo are ideas, they make a lot of sense and they feel true. That's intuition hinting. But you still don't know if it's true.

Then we start to think about those ideas and piece everything together, making a bigger idea. Still feels true because it makes a lot of sense.

Then at some point, a deeper understanding happens. Like, you eat some mushrooms and literally feel the world as your head / mind. It's undeniable and denying it and questioning it is literally impossible because is just true. I can't explain why or how, but you know for a fact that it's true.

That's why Leo always says direct experience is king. Do you feel like you're God in your direct experience right now?

Not for me. Even though I understand it, it makes perfect sense, I had insights and awakenings, but it's not undeniable right now at this moment. It's confusing as hell, but I can't honestly say that I am God for a fact NOW. I feel other around. Even though I was shown otherwise. It was perfectly true, undeniable, and obvious at the moment, but not right NOW.

 

I had a question that doesn't make sense anymore: Would I know if I was awake? and the answer is: YES, obviously. You see things when you are awake. 

When you are conscious, you close your eyes and you're still conscious. You stuff your ears with foam to 'minimize noise' and you are still conscious...

 

Couldn't agree more ? ?

all words in all definitions can be further elaborated to infinity. This means anytime we set boundaries to a definition..this "boundary" is arbitrary.

All definitions are not definite because the boundary of a "definition" is almost set by us unconsciously.
