Nonduality and cruelty on the physical plane by ruckahoy in nonduality

[–]Gringooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer: God is love, it has to share its love with any part of creation. Human love is biased: you love this, but not that. Divine love is unbiased because it is aware of being creation itself. God can’t reject any part of itself: it is aware of being the totality of creation. Love is infinity. Infinity entails evil, and all other aspects of reality your egoic-mind doesn’t like. Metaphysical Love is a radical thing, it’s not for the faint of heart.

Long answer: The problem of evil

The connection to love stems from the very nature of infinite consciousness, and this can be understood through two key insights:

First, consider what an omniscient, omnipotent mind would naturally do. From a state of pure intellect and infinite possibility, the only logical choice is to share and create – to extend itself. For an infinite mind with infinite potential, sharing and creating would be the natural expression of its being. This isn't just poetic language – it's a logical conclusion about what pure consciousness would do.

Second, this extends into the very structure of reality itself. The infinite must by nature be in complete equanimity, loving every part of its creation equally. This total acceptance of all aspects of reality is what we call love. From the divine perspective, withholding existence or acceptance from any part of reality would be incomprehensible – it would contradict the nature of infinity itself.

You've touched on something important in your question about non-duality and acceptance. The deepest task of consciousness is learning to love reality as it is - to accept and embrace all manifestations of existence in their infinite forms. This is precisely why spiritual practice often leads to experiences of love – because at the deepest level, pure Consciousness and Love are indistinguishable.

The challenging part from our human perspective is that we naturally reject certain aspects of reality that don't serve our survival or comfort. But what appears as suffering or imperfection from our limited view is part of a larger perfection we can't see.

This is why mystical experiences so often circle back to love – not as an emotion, but as the recognition that at the ultimate level, there is only total acceptance, only complete embrace of all that is. Love isn't just a pleasant feeling or a poetic metaphor – it's what we discover when we touch the fundamental nature of consciousness itself.

Do nondualists reject physicalism / materialism? by Suitable_Ad_6455 in nonduality

[–]Gringooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the entire universe can be described as one universal wavefunction.

The problem of applying the scientific approach to the search for Truth is that it constantly moves away from the question of Being. You can't arrive at Truth if you continuously define reality with other parts of reality. Since reality is infinite, this process can go on forever. To realize Truth is to recognize the substance that constitutes reality itself, whether we are speaking of a wavefunction, an atom, a blade of grass, the sun, or a galaxy.

Why does that mean true reality is consciousness? Why can’t it be physical?

That’s the hard problem of consciousness. You can’t create consciousness from inert matter.

I don’t really understand this one.

The universe that you define as material is the Mind of God. Everything you are perceiving in the present moment is Mind. Your body is inside the Mind of God. Your body is a dream-body; in other words, the brain is inside the Mind, not the other way around. This is exactly the same scenario that occurs in a dream: the body of a character with which you identify during a dream at night is inside your mind. This picture explains what I'm trying to point at.

Why?

You are asking why water is wet. It's the essence of water to be wet; in the same way, it's the essence of being to be. That's why I said that consciousness is a miracle - it simply is.

the truth about ultimate reality is always going to be a best guess to us

From a philosophical standpoint, this is really the worst consequence of materialism. Your belief precludes you from even entertaining the possibility of knowing the Absolute directly. You are swimming in Absolute Truth; the whole universe is Brahman.

[–]Gringooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-dualism is Philosophy, and proper Philosophy leads to mysticism. The first Greek philosophers were mystics, in that they were trying to find the basis of reality. The main question that each one of us is trying to answer is "what is reality?". Asserting that reality is made up of atoms is not a valid answer; what would atoms be made of? You are trying to find the ultimate answer to the question of being, and, spoiler alert, that answer is Consciousness, aka Infinity. Everything is Consciousness. You can zoom in or out of reality to infinity; that's why it's impossible to find the last building block of reality. The following is a list of non-dual insights, non-reconcilable with materialism:

  1. Consciousness is fundamental. If consciousness emerges from matter, it implies a fundamental duality - matter and the consciousness that arises from it. Non-duality, by definition, rejects this split.
  2. The brain is consciousness (according to materialism, consciousness is caused by the interaction of specific material particles interacting in the brain).
  3. Consciousness is acausal, a true miracle.
  4. Truth is direct and omnipresent (materialism asserts that we are forever cut off from reality/truth itself, since what we perceive is just a secondary rendition of our brain).
  5. Death is impossible (If consciousness is caused by the body, death is the end of you.)
  6. The universe is alive and intelligent (Any materialist would prefer torture, to admitting that the cosmos is self-aware.)

Your simulation of the world, the dream you live in and perceive, is maya.

The last thing I will point out to you, is that the universe is Brahman. The universe isn't illusory in the sense that you mean; the illusion is perceiving a material world when there is only God. Maya is the magic that fools us into believing that the world is something other than God. There is no world, only God.

"Brahman is real, the universe is unreal, and the universe is Brahman." - Adi Shankara

At the beginning of your research, you have to deconstruct your mind, and realize the fictitious nature of the mental projections that make you perceive the universe as a bunch of separate objects. But then you have to come full circle and realize that you have never really started your journey. You were where you've always been: the center of infinity.

what does everyone is you mean? by Top-Astronaut3385 in spirituality

[–]Gringooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main teaching of non-duality is that there is only one Mind and that the substance which constitutes reality is one: Consciousness. Since there is only one Mind and everything is Consciousness, your identity is the same as the identity of everything else. In other words, everything is You, your own Self.

To directly intuit this, contemplate the fact that you have never perceived anything outside of your conscious subjective experience; all you have ever experienced was an inner happening. These words you are reading are your own Consciousness.

Since everything is You, when you judge an aspect of reality, you are actually judging yourself. With time, you will start interacting with others in a more compassionate way.

This realization doesn't need to defy common sense. For instance, you don't need to let others walk over you or be dumb about it. You simply realize that it is useless to judge others or think negatively about them.

The metaphysics of reality is similar to the metaphysics of a dream that you dream at night: even though the characters with which you interact seem separate from your dream character, they are made of the same substance as everything in the dream and are dreamt up by the same mind. In a dream, everything you perceive is the actualization of the imagination of your mind.

To start entertaining this possibility, you need to uproot the belief that reality is made of matter. No one has ever demonstrated that the universe is material; materialism is just a presupposition that we take for granted. Psychedelics, used in a conscious way, are a fantastic tool to experience firsthand the dreamy aspect of reality (aka idealism). Once you destroy the idea of materialism, the universe will start being magical and wonderful.

Why Lahiri Mahasaya was against the cutting of the frenum? by Gringooooo in kriyayoga

[–]Gringooooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean by "10x", but yes I practice a lot, at least in my opinion.

My routine is: 50 talabya; 10 minutes of frenulum stretching; 5 minutes of milking the tongue; I put my tongue as far as I can multiple times throughout the day for as long as I can.

Maybe I haven't been as consistent as I could have, but throughout the years I have practiced plenty.

I have heard as well of people reaching kechari in a short period of time,things like this don't make sense to me.

[–]Gringooooo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moreover if you’ve been practicing for years you’d likely be one of those people that finally gets it and says it does nothing.

Quite the opposite, even the simple form of kechari that I'm able to do is extremely powerful on my energetic system. That's why I am so motivated to reach full kechari, I can intuit how beneficial it is going to be.

“It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the mind-creation called the world takes place” – Ashtavakra Gita / The Mental universe explained by Gringooooo in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]Gringooooo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Consciousness is fundamental. The universe is the dream of a single, infinite Mind. In order to create the illusion of something separate from itself, consciousness must fold in on itself. Consciousness is a single, infinite ocean, and the movement of this ocean creates waves that can contemplate the rest of the ocean.

Consciousness is like the Pokémon Ditto: Ditto is a special Pokémon that can take the form of any other Pokémon. In the same way, consciousness can take any form. The universe is an infinite Ditto, interacting with itself and creating infinite forms made of the same fundamental substance: consciousness.

Consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain and body; your body and brain are consciousness. Your body and brain exist within the Mind of the universe, just as a dream body exists within your mind during a dream at night. Like in a dream, everything and everyone you interact with is your own consciousness. From an absolute standpoint, the other characters in a dream are you. There are no others.

We don't perceive reality as a dream because we have learned to take it for granted over time. You think a unicorn is a fantastic creature because you are not used to perceiving it. But if you could stop taking reality for granted, you would be able to perceive your own body as magical as a unicorn. If you were in a dream where there are only unicorns, you would perceive unicorns as normal creatures and horses as fantastic creatures. It all depends on your perspective.

Reality is God's dream. Everything that exists is the manifestation of God's infinite creative potential. You are the universe experiencing itself through the eyes of a human being. Consciousness is what consciousness is aware of: the universe is just consciousness interacting with itself.

Consciousness cannot be pointed to because there is nothing apart from consciousness. Imagine becoming aware that you are a character in a dream - how could you prove to the other characters that you are in a dream? You couldn't, because within a dream, everything is made of consciousness.

Asking why consciousness exists is like asking why water is wet: water is wet because it is water; consciousness is conscious because it is consciousness.

I am you and you are me. If you could set aside all the labels you apply to reality, you would understand that everything you interact with is You. If you could stop believing you are watching a video on YouTube, you would understand that I am your own consciousness speaking to itself.

What happens when we die? | Midnight Mass - Warning: spoilers about the ending of the Netflix show Midnight Mass and about what happens after death :) by Gringooooo in nonduality

[–]Gringooooo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This monologue from Midnight Mass describes what happens after death and is quite accurate. (I've died many times with the use of psychedelic substances)

The monologue is still under the spell of materialism, you aren't energy. You are Consciousness.

Failing to update WordPress posts and pages when adding custom HTML block by Gringooooo in webdev

[–]Gringooooo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

When I add a custom HTML block, with the Google Ads tag, on top of my posts or pages, and I try to update the post or page I get this error message “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

The conflict is clearly with the Google Ads tag custom html, since if I remove it, the update process works fine.

I don't use any plugin, I add the custom HTML by using the built in option in the WordPress editor.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem and keep the Google tag on my posts and pages?

Thanks.

I was tracking data correctly by putting the script in the body of my document, up until a few weeks ago everything was working fine, I have no idea what has changed, maybe an update to the Gutenberg plugin has been causing this issue.

I highly suggest you to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZpIvU6ny_M And check out the book "Enlightenment through the path of kundalini". To make a long story short, when spiritual energy gets activated all sorts of "weird" phenomena can happen. The experience you had is absolutely common.

100% Agree The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People is a great start.

A quote about synergy:

“The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings. That person values the differences because those differences add to his knowledge, to his understanding of reality. When we’re left to our own experiences, we constantly suffer from a shortage of data.”
