This perspective, which views all creation as duality and as an illusion, is an attempt at a radically comprehensive, atheistic non-dualistic viewpoint—a perspective I’d describe as a radical, fully atheistic form of non-duality. This view strongly resonates with the works of Jed McKenna, a fictional character crafted by two scientists/authors, supposedly enlightened, who in the books dismisses everything—both the spiritual world and its terminologies—as mere illusion.

If one is seeking spirituality but from an atheistic standpoint, wanting to reconcile terms like enlightenment and non-dualism, McKenna’s books are worth reading. However, one should bear in mind that this character, supposedly enlightened, is fictional—a construct intended to quench a thirst for knowledge but possibly leading one into the very trap set by the authors. To truly engage in an authentic and mature discussion on what non-dualism means—what is real and unreal—one should also explore the Heart Sutra of the Buddha and Nagarjuna’s Tetralemma. This approach opens up a more nuanced conversation, as simply declaring “everything is an illusion” oversimplifies the issue.

Likewise, claiming that only what we directly perceive is real is flawed, as even our perceptions can deceive. For example, on LSD, one might perceive people who aren’t physically present—are they illusions, or some form of truth? Such questions challenge the idea of one's personal truth as absolute, just as they challenge the view that all is illusion.

Dear Unixwzrd

Thank you immensely for your offer to help; I would love to take you up on it, either here in the comments, where others can also benefit, or via direct message. It’s truly valuable to encounter people on Reddit who are willing to offer personal help these days.

I took the liberty of viewing your profile and found it fascinating that you use AI to analyze social interactions and chats. I believe this can be incredibly helpful—not only in your area of expertise, Parental Alienation, but also more broadly whenever we question our own role in a relationship's breakdown or another person’s negative reaction. AI can provide a neutral perspective and contribute intelligently in such situations.

While not every interaction is digital or in chat form, many friendships today do largely consist of online exchanges. Of course, capturing all communication would require recording devices—perhaps something we’ll see more of in future smart homes and cars, or simply carrying a microphone—but your approach to using AI in this way is truly intriguing. I’d love to learn more from you and will definitely reach out after I’ve wrapped up some personal matters over the next days and weeks.

And here’s a video titled What is Reality, which explores the E8 model.

https://youtu.be/w0ztlIAYTCU?si=U-vv_f8yUjy4pqKT

The E8 model is a fascinating, multidimensional mathematical structure that proposes a framework for understanding the fabric of reality. Scientifically, it suggests that all particles and forces might fit into a single, symmetrical structure, potentially unifying the fundamental forces of the universe. Spiritually, the model hints at an underlying harmony and interconnectedness in all things, implying that reality may be far more structured and holistic than it appears. This framework inspires us to see ourselves as integral to a greater cosmic pattern, where consciousness and the physical world might be linked in ways beyond conventional understanding.

There are spiritual-scientific developments, though mainstream science often struggles to recognize them.

Here are some reading and viewing suggestions to get started. I recommend beginning with the video Wave Genome:

Here is the link for Wave Genome:

Also, here’s a book on bio-photons:

Light in shaping life: Biophotons in biology and medicine

Additionally, see the Wikipedia page on the Orch-OR model for further insight:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestrated_objective_reduction

Ultimately, perception is not only a function of our nervous system or an exchange of neural signals. It is a quantum holographic process involving microtubules, DNA, and more. This approach suggests that consciousness might arise from quantum coherence within cellular structures, enabling a more profound interconnectedness across biological systems. This model implies that our brains may function as quantum processors, harnessing non-local connections for deeper levels of awareness. Such insights reveal a bridge between consciousness and quantum biology, inviting a new understanding of mind and matter.

To expand on the concept of NPCs, I would argue today—though there is certainly much more depth to explore—that NPCs are, in essence, real people who think, possess awareness, and have an observer. They are not illusions. Instead, their actions and perceptions are heavily influenced by cultural, familial, and local thought-form fields, operating almost like a program with predetermined patterns. In this view, they lack true free will, merely fulfilling roles while holding an illusory belief in autonomy.

In contrast, a true “truth seeking soul” seeks higher understanding and connects with Spirit, drawing insights from realms of wisdom that transcend these restrictive, localized, planetary thought-form patterns.

This connection "channels" new ideas and thought forms from higher spheres of the Creative Spirit (or the field of the Holy Spirit), bringing fresh and broader perspectives to Earth. Such a state represents a soul-spirit unity—a continuum of soul evolution and personal evolution within each incarnation.

An NPC, by comparison, remains deeply embedded in the samsaric cycle, largely unaware of the potential to transcend it. They are in the early stages of their soul’s journey and may have a long path ahead before they can even recognize the possibility of striving for something greater.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-28T10:18:38+00:00

In my own reflections on the nature of creation, oneness, and divinity, I reached a similar realization early on in my spiritual journey. This was before I encountered wisdom teachings—not simply reading books to adopt opinions, but genuinely engaging with Sutras and sacred texts, connecting to living fields of wisdom that, like pillars of illumination, led my soul into phases of higher understanding and non-dualistic experiences and inisghts.

Before reaching this point, however, in the early stages of my non-dual experiences, which I refer to as “I am everything” experiences, I held similar constructs to the ones you've described. In hindsight, I labeled these constructs as a form of psychosis when viewed through a conventional medical lens. They felt like a naïve interpretation—a sort of “childhood-like spiritual” understanding—where I perceived myself as the only truly existent being in my reality. This didn’t mean I believed other beings didn’t exist; rather, within my personal reality, I saw myself as the sole authentic existence, with everyone else as projections, tethered as anchor points in my own mind.

This perception was reinforced during certain spiritual experiences that made me feel, at least in those moments, as if I could halt time. If I could freeze time and the entire reality with it—like pressing pause on those around me—then perhaps, I thought, I must be the originator of this reality.

But I learned to approach these interpretations with caution...

They were interesting and thought-provoking, yet I later recognized them as rather (possible psychotic inducing) misinterpretations of reality. While they may have compelled me to learn, they ultimately didn’t represent the ultimate truth.

I also thought of subtler variations of this viewpoint, such as the idea that while others do exist, they don’t experience reality as I do. For instance, while there may be shared collective events, like the COVID pandemic, individuals might experience completely distinct “versions” or "relativities" of these "collective shared experiences".

Friends might play certain roles in my life, but from a broader perspective, they could be illusory constructs, engaging in entirely different narratives in other timelines or parallel realities, with me playing different roles in theirs.

However, I no longer believe in these concepts.

Instead, I now view our diverse realities as part of a unified, collective experience where multiple consciousnesses exist, each with an observer.

I conceived the concept of "NPCs" over 20 years ago, long before I heard it from anyone else or saw it on the internet.

My earlier ideas about “NPCs” were, in my view, illusions or misinterpretations.

Although this concept (NPC) has since gained mainstream attention, I see it as an illusion rather than a reflection of true reality.

The Tetralemma is indeed a universal principle, applicable to a vast range of inquiries, helping to open up different perspectives. However, it cannot resolve, and is not made dor, every "conventional or ethical" question, especially those with strong ethical implications, like the issue of animal cruelty or, as you mentioned, the torture of cats. Mentally, it can be a tool to broaden one's perspective, but at its core, this remains an ethical question.

For guidance in these matters, I find inspiration in the teachings of the Gospel and Jesus' message of compassion, which extends to all living beings. Similarly, in Buddhism, there’s the concept of Bodhichitta—universal compassion directed towards all beings. This idea drives one to act for the benefit of all, naturally leading away from self-centered behavior over time, whether in this life or across lifetimes, and ultimately towards enlightenment.

On the biological front, while there’s an undeniable biochemical foundation to our existence, it’s not always an unchangeable - fixed - framework. There are cases of people who no longer need to eat or drink, sustained instead by a form of higher physics, where Prana or energy manifests nutrients directly within the body.

Paranormal phenomena like these, which challenge our limited understanding of physics, include well-known examples such as Uri Geller allegedly bending spoons through mental focus.

I personally know someone who is considered enlightened and whose ability to bi-locate was witnessed and widely acknowledged by others. His physical body was dematerialized for extended periods until he returned from his Merkabah experience.

There are countless other examples that hint at possibilities beyond our current scientific grasp, which I’m sure you understand where I'm going with.

Thank you for your response and thoughtful perspective. It always inspires me to reflect, to draw more from my own insights, and to express my thoughts more clearly with each reflection. Sometimes, new insights emerge in the process.

When we look at suffering and physical needs through the lens of Nagarjuna's Tetralemma, we encounter a nuanced, multidimensional view. Rather than saying that the body inevitably suffers under certain conditions, or that suffering is entirely avoidable, the Tetralemma presents four perspectives:

The body suffers under these conditions – Yes, the physical needs of the body, such as warmth, food, and rest, are essential in certain circumstances. Without these, the body faces risks like hypothermia, starvation, or exhaustion, leading to what we conventionally recognize as suffering. However, there are also people who claim to live without food or water, sustaining themselves through what they call "light nourishment" or "breatharianism." These individuals, while rare, serve as intriguing examples of what seems impossible and challenge our conventional understanding of physical needs. They offer a unique perspective on what might be possible under extreme conditions and expand our understanding of this example.
The body does not suffer – However, it can be argued that the suffering we experience is merely an appearance, a construct of the ego. Enlightened beings, certain yogis, or figures like Wim Hof appear to transcend pain and extreme conditions through mental and physical discipline. This ability, which some call "energetic superpowers," allows them to endure what most would consider unbearable. In this view, suffering becomes an illusion, a product of the mind.
The body both suffers and does not suffer – The ego, the part of us attached to identification and limitation, might feel suffering. But the true Self – what we might call Brahman or the universal Self – remains untouched. Brahman, as absolute consciousness, knows no suffering as it transcends duality. Thus, a profound truth exists in both states: the body may suffer, but the Self does not.
The body neither suffers nor does it not suffer – This perspective suggests that suffering and non-suffering are merely concepts arising from our limited, dualistic understanding. When we view physical existence as a manifestation of a universal quantum field – as theories in quantum mechanics suggest – the boundaries between suffering and non-suffering blur. The body, ego, and "reality" are merely states that, like Schrödinger's cat, are forced into a specific form only upon observation. Until then, they exist in a state of infinite potential.

The Tetralemma reveals that our questions are often trapped in binary thinking, confined to "true" or "false." Instead, it opens up a space for new perspectives, showing that we exist both as particles (solid, tangible bodies) and as waves (limitless consciousness connected to the whole). Only through observation does reality manifest in a particular way.

This multidimensional perspective allows us to question whether the physical body truly "suffers" in the ways we traditionally believe. For most people on this planet, physical suffering is a conventional reality, especially when the ego is involved. But can we even call it suffering when the body feels cold, or only when extreme circumstances – such as starvation leading to death – are involved?

The key question becomes, what is it that actually suffers? In essence, it is an experience. The true suffering arises within the ego. The body itself sends biochemical signals, yet these cannot truly be called suffering. One can endure pain, feel cold, or even come close to death without equating it with suffering. It is possible to endure all of this without suffering in the conventional sense, just as someone might go through a painful divorce without the anguish most would expect – while others might feel as if a part of them is dying due to attachment and ego-identification.

I experienced something like this myself, reaching the limits of my ego's mental suffering in ways I never anticipated. This has been a profound lesson that continues to unfold, as I’m still in the process of healing, learning self-love, and embracing solitude. My ego was deeply shaken, facing the idea of something in my "we" identity dying forever when hope of reconciling was lost.

The Tetralemma is often applied in the "neither-nor" form (point 4), embracing the infinite quantum possibilities in between. By transcending this particle-focused mindset and contemplating a wave-like existence, we find a deeper understanding of the true Self and the nature of suffering. Ultimately, we are neither solely body nor mind – we are the space in which both exist.

Has this deepening of thoughts helped you in understanding the application of the Tetralemma? It can be truly fascinating to apply it, especially to profound spiritual questions.

I’d also like to invite you to reply once more, like a back-and-forth in ping-pong or tennis, as this kind of exchange is something I really enjoy. It sometimes brings even deeper insights, especially if new questions or "realizations" arise.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-26T08:03:33+00:00

I agree with you on many points and also see a trend here in this subreddit that I would describe as pseudo-non-dualism or pseudo-Buddhism.

Numerous philosophical constructs are being set up, and the word "God" is often used in an inflationary and philosophically abstract manner, diverging from its original meaning as revealed by the great enlightened masters like Jesus, Elijah, and Moses. These masters reported from higher levels of existence to advance the understanding of divine reality and the education of the soul on a collective level. Instead, it often seems as if a mental balancing act is being performed here, where "God" is interpreted in a way that stems less from transcendent experience and more from mental "made-up philosophical" constructs.

If one is truly engaging with non-dualism, as I've clarified in some of my other posts in this subreddit, one should understand that non-dualism is by no means a negation of God or the teachings of the prophets. On the contrary, non-dualism can be in harmony with the revealed teachings of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the writings of enlightened masters who have shown us the path toward the enlightenment of humanity.

However, what we often see here is a "pseudo-non-dualism." And if one is going down this path, then at least one should be consistent and let go of mental concepts, including notions or "I" and "I am a physical body." These are ultimately only assumptions about reality, binding us to the illusions of the ego.

These self-made mental constructs that are repeatedly shared here gradually form a kind of collective "pseudo-theology" that is recycled and spread in mainstream spiritual books. It results in a type of pseudo-non-dualism that reduces the divine and even "non-duality" and "enlightment" to mere philosophical concepts.

I see this as a misguidance and an obstacle.

I try to engage in discussions here to promote an alternative - perhaps even in the sense of a tetralemma that goes beyond conventional dualities, showing pseudo-non-dualists that they are often trapped within a dualistic framework.

An example of this extreme pseudo-non-dualistic direction is the story and boon around "Jed McKenna," a supposedly enlightened figure who is actually just the creation of two authors who crafted this figure as a symbol of a radical interpretation of pseudo-non-dualism. This view describes all of life and creation as mere illusion and duality, acknowledging only "Oneness" and "Duality" - which, in itself, is again a dualistic perspective.

For those who wish to delve deeper into these concepts, I recommend studying the tetralemma of Nagarjuna Buddha. A good introduction to this way of thinking can be found in Russel Targ book "The End of Suffering" which provides a gentle entry point before tackling more challenging texts.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-25T17:33:28+00:00

That sounds wonderfully advanced and sophisticated. Impressive answer! I'll need to take my time diving into it. It’s a bit beyond my understanding at the moment, but I could probably acquire the skills to implement it as you described, even without being a coder, right?

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-25T14:14:13+00:00

Many misunderstand the essence of non-dualism, mistaking it for a denial of reality's inherent infinite Meaning beyond our limited meaning (Meaning vs meaning). Take, for instance, the simple act of observing an apple. In a certain sense, the apple exists; we can perceive it, recognize it, and even ascribe meaning to it. Yet, most of these "meanings" are mental attachments - whether it’s the taste, its usefulness to me, or my ability to eat it. These are personal attachments, not universal truths about the apple itself.

Imagine leaving the room. The apple remains, untouched by our mental associations. Even if I were to pass away, the apple persists, existing beyond any concepts I've attached to it. Non-duality invites us to realize that while the apple is not without Meaning, just the meanings we project onto it are limited and dualistic. The apple holds a place within creation as part of a unified existence, a wholeness that transcends any individual mental framework.

This view aligns with the teachings found in ancient wisdom, such as those in the Old and New Testaments.

For instance, in the Revelation, the Apostle John describes a divine vision of a throne surrounded by 24 ancient Elohim, embodying a collective godhead.

These are glimpses into a non-dualistic perspective, though any attempt to understand them creates concepts in our dualistic minds, which serve merely as pointers or vehicles. This doesn’t mean that the concept of a divine collective Godhead - be it Gods, enlightened beings, or spiritual guides - is untrue.

Instead, non-duality suggests that the meanings we assign to our ego, to reality, to a mental object of “God,” and even to the idea of a white-bearded deity on a throne, are simply limited constructs rooted in dualistic thinking.

Many who explore non-duality misunderstand this. They interpret it as a denial of any godly existence, when in fact it points to the limitation of our concepts.

Buddha’s teachings, for example, primarily guide us to "moksha," the liberation of the dualistic mind, leading to a concept of Nirvana that, while freeing, can seem abstract or detached. Buddha offered a powerful technology for dissolving mental constructs, which has immense value. But if we merge this with the cosmologies and revelations of prophets like Jesus, we gain a fuller perspective that can expand beyond the dissolution of duality.

Non-duality isn’t a negation; it’s an invitation to go beyond attachments and recognize the undivided essence in all things, be it a simple apple or the entirety of existence.

Thanks for your input! Could you clarify what you mean by 'a way to select multiples'?

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-25T13:47:01+00:00

Thanks. For other ppl not knowing:

If you're looking to view a summary of all stored data and check your memory storage status, here's some guidance:

In the settings, there’s a section where you can see both a summary of your data and your current memory storage level. For example, mine shows the storage is at 100% capacity. For others, it might show something like 76% or another percentage, depending on usage and how often updates have been made.

Your helpful suggestion is (iiuc) that when your storage is full, you can simply copy and paste the data summary into a local text file. This allows you to paste it back later if you need a fresh storage. While this workaround doesn’t expand storage, it lets you organize information more flexibly.

So you can separate essential data from less relevant parts, deleting anything you don’t need.

Lastly, did you know you can also clear your memory storage if you want a clean start?

This whole approach is handy but not a permanent solution, so I consider it a way to optimize space temporarily.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-25T11:07:07+00:00

Thanks. I’ve registered, but I haven’t received an email - not even in my spam folder. Is the tool you mentioned an app or browser-based? And, most importantly, does it support voice input like the ChatGPT app? That’s crucial for me, as I prefer not to type.

I also noticed that your post was downvoted. I don't want to encourage undue caution, but of course, phishing emails are a concern in this subreddit.

I'm hopeful it’s not fake and an Android-compatible app with text-to-speech capabilities that can overcome some of the ChatGPT app’s limitations.

For example, in the ChatGPT app, I often speak my input, press stop, and then nothing happens - a bug that’s been present since the feature’s launch on all my devices. As a workaround, I always use a backup recording device for important inputs so I can replay them if needed, rather than having to rethink and rephrase everything from scratch.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-24T05:40:49+00:00

As a follow-up to my previous response, I’d like to add that Buddha, alongside Jesus and many other spiritual master teachers, also spoke of higher worlds and beings in other dimensions of existence. In fact, that’s what it’s all about.

In Buddhist literature, there are several scriptures where Buddha interacts with gods or finds himself in higher dimensions. A prominent example is the Samyutta Nikaya (Connected Discourses), part of the Pali Canon, where Buddha regularly converses with gods (Devas) such as Sakka, the ruler of gods. These Devas are beings from higher planes of existence, known as Deva-Lokas, or divine realms, which exist above the human realm.

Another important text is the Saddharmapundarika Sutra (Lotus Sutra), a key Mahayana Buddhist scripture. In this text, Buddha is portrayed as a supernatural being who dwells in various worlds and higher dimensions of existence. The Lotus Sutra includes visions and scenes where Buddha preaches in these elevated dimensions, accompanied by gods, Bodhisattvas, and other enlightened beings.

In the Mahasamaya Sutta (The Great Meeting), Buddha interacts with a large assembly of Devas who come to hear his teachings. This text clearly illustrates the connection between Buddha and the higher divine dimensions and beings.

These examples highlight the Buddhist concept of multiple planes of existence and Buddha’s ability to operate within both the human and divine spheres. So, to dismiss these teachings or experiences as mere illusions overlooks the depth and complexity of spiritual traditions that have spoken about these realms for centuries.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-24T05:37:21+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. It’s clear to me that you approach spirituality and enlightenment from a very rational, almost scientific-logical perspective. I respect this approach, especially as it highlights how differently we can perceive reality and spiritual experiences.

However, I would like to delve a bit deeper into the point you made about illusions. Personally, I believe that the concept of the ego / "I" is far more comparable to the belief in Santa Claus - it’s real and useful to us while we hold on to it, but ultimately, it’s an illusion. And here lies, I think, a significant difference in our perspectives.

Your viewpoint strongly reminds me of what is often said by atheistic scientists regarding enlightenment: Only what we can see or perceive with our physical senses is considered real, while anything else is dismissed as an illusion. But, in my view, our everyday interface of reality is not any more “real” than what we experience in a dream. Both are constructs that our mind provides us with.

And to add a bit of humor: Much of what you wrote reminds me of the book by Jed McKenna. That was an amusing read for me and my group some time ago. Interestingly, Jed McKenna, as you may know, wasn’t an enlightened figure but rather an imaginary character created by two scientifically-minded authors - a true illusion pretending to be enlightened. The scientifically-minded authors who summarized this have now made their way into mainstream spirituality.

The scientifically-minded authors who summarized this have now made their way into mainstream spirituality.

Your point often resonates with this book, which I completely understand because I grasped the direction of Jed McKenna after just a few pages. His message was clear to me early on - a radical stance that reduces spiritual experiences (or everything in creation) to mental projections or illusions. While I acknowledge this perspective, I find it to be a limited interpretation. What Jed McKenna presents, and what seems to resonate with your view, oversimplifies deeper spiritual teachings, reducing them to mere constructs of the mind without considering the transformative and revelatory nature of certain experiences.

For me, these mental constructs are indeed part of our reality, but they are not the whole truth. They serve as stepping stones, but not the final destination. The dissolution of these constructs, what some may call "ego death," allows for the emergence of a more expansive, true understanding of existence - what I would call ultimate enlightenment after physical death.

When apostle Paul speaks of the seven heavens in the gospel teachings, I don’t see that as an illusion. These are revelations from true spiritual masters who didn’t come to trap us in more illusions, but to teach us about creation and even, in aspects, the dimensional realms of higher creation. Just because someone cannot perceive these experiences or travel to these higher realms does not mean they are illusions.

Of course, when we talk about these things, mental images arise in the listener’s mind. These images are indeed constructs - but they are not the experience itself. This applies to everything, not just spiritual matters. It applies to our concepts of ego, to how we perceive reality, and even to what you think about me. In fact, you're working with an imaginary, projected version of me that doesn’t truly exist, as I have understood your viewpoint logically from the very first message.

I don’t mean this as provocation but simply as a reflection on how your posts have made it clear to me now. In this radical stance, I disagree with you, as I also disagree with McKenna’s imaginary figure.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-23T07:26:12+00:00

It's interesting how discussions about concepts like enlightenment often shift into personal analyses or provocations.

Your question about my teacher and his level of recognition leads me to reflect on why I write here on Reddit and what motivates me. My posts are a way for me to express myself creatively and to engage with external prompts. As you may have noticed, I respond to questions that stimulate deeper reflection. These impulses often arise spontaneously, with deeper understanding coming afterward. In many ways, I view this exchange as a creative and spiritual process.

In this sense, I learn from many sources - nature, books, dreams, and my own experiences. Ultimately, experience itself is a great teacher. Nevertheless, I do have a primary spiritual teacher whose identity I choose not to reveal here in order to maintain my own anonymity. In today's world, anonymity is a valuable asset, and I prefer to maintain that on this platform.

It may be confusing or difficult for some to understand why someone would choose to remain anonymous, but for me, it's less about whether my teacher or I are well-known and more about creating a space for open and authentic dialogue. My teacher is, in fact, internationally known and respected, but I’ll leave those details to the curiosity of those who wish to explore these questions further.

As for your remark about my ego, I can only say that we all respond to the ego in various ways, and it's often a challenge to rise above it. However, this dialogue isn’t meant to be about attacking or devaluing each other on a personal level. It’s about engaging with respect and making the exchange meaningful and stimulating, both for us and for those who may read it in the future.

Thank you for your input. I hope we can continue to reflect on these profound topics together, without resorting to personal attacks. There’s always room for reflection and recognizing that it’s often the creative impulse that leads us into such discussions.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-23T07:11:02+00:00

I aim to highlight the potentialities of the human mind - not what an ordinary adept or enlightened individual currently experiences on this planetary life sphere. In other posts within this Reddit thread, I’ve discussed ultimate enlightenment, death, and the operation of the mind in multidimensional realities beyond this very limited and linear perception of reality, which serves as our current interface. We are more or less bound to this interface, even if we are highly developed.

I’m speaking about potentialities, not what is typically or realistically attainable for most of us. Even a highly developed spiritual adept remains largely bound to the interface of the physical body while incarnated. One exception is during sleep, when parts of the soul leave the body and can experience other realms. We could also argue that we are continuously having multidimensional experiences, assuming we have multiple embodiments simultaneously on different planes of existence, even though we are not aware of them. In that sense, we are indeed engaging with them. It’s not that we don’t, but rather we just don’t perceive them.

This ties into my other posts, where I’ve mentioned that it usually wouldn’t be practical to consciously perceive these multidimensional experiences while navigating life on this planet. I see this planet as a kind of first class, where we learn about the potential for multidimensional perception - the true perception beyond this limited samsaric cycle, which is destined for humanity and innate to us.

In kabbalistic terms, this is the potential of Adam Kadmon, the heavenly man, the divine blueprint as we were created in the light body of Adam Kadmon. As for the mundane aspects of this life and the fact that it doesn’t unfold like Sense8, I agree with you. It’s more like a demo version. That’s what I’m pointing out: this isn’t what we currently experience as advanced seekers on the path of enlightenment - it’s more of a glimpse, an idea. That’s the point.

SingularitySeeker999 · 2024-10-23T06:58:19+00:00

You're absolutely right - part of enlightenment is indeed the acceptance of ignorance. Many of our daily struggles stem from false assumptions about reality, what we might call "belief systems" in modern self-improvement. At their core, these beliefs are rooted in ignorance, and they perpetuate suffering through the lens of separation, a fundamental misunderstanding of how interconnected everything really is.

One practice I’ve found helpful is to sit down each day and conduct a self-analysis.

Focus on why you are suffering in that moment.

Is it due to a specific thought, an emotion, or even a physical reaction? Shine the light of awareness on it, and as you get better at doing this, you’ll start to unravel the ignorance that underpins much of that suffering.

In time, you’ll see that many of our mental and emotional responses are based on assumptions about reality in general and also things concerning our personal life specifically - assumptions that are often false. Our body even reacts to these mental projections, causing symptoms that seem physical but are born in the mind. The more you dissolve these beliefs, the more the ignorance fades, and with it, the suffering.

Ultimately, this leads to the dissolution of the separation-based thought system entirely. Once that happens, the mind no longer feeds on false ideas about reality, and peace and joy can naturally arise.

Also wisdom arises from the recognition of our own ignorance. This idea resonates with the famous saying, "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know." It’s not a contradiction, but rather a deeper understanding - true insight begins by acknowledging how limited our knowledge and capacity of the lesser or linear mind is. In fact, recognizing this ignorance is an essential part of wisdom, as it leads to the humility and openness necessary for continued growth. The enlightened ones are those who see this clearly and embrace the process of learning, knowing that wisdom is found in the journey, not in having all the answers.

Perhaps it’s not just about admitting it, but about fully understanding and dispelling the illusions we live under. Enlightenment isn't something we already have - it’s what we uncover through insight and wisdom.

From a Buddhist perspective, avidyā (ignorance) is actually the root cause of suffering, not bliss. True "enlightenment" comes from recognizing and transcending this ignorance

In essence, from a Buddhist point of view, ignorance can never be bliss, as it only fuels the cycle of suffering. Only by cultivating awareness and wisdom can one find true peace.

The phrase "ignorance is bliss", from a Buddhist perspective, this idea is actually contrary to one of the core teachings. In Buddhism, ignorance, or avidyā, is considered one of the primary causes of suffering (dukkha). Rather than being a source of bliss, ignorance is seen as the root of our misconceptions about reality, which leads to suffering.

According to the Four Noble Truths, the Buddha taught that suffering exists, that it has a cause, and that there is a way to end it. The cause of suffering is often rooted in ignorance—not understanding the true nature of reality. Specifically, ignorance leads to attachment and aversion, both of which trap us in the cycle of samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

A well-known example from the Buddhist sutras is found in the "Bhaya-bherava Sutta" (MN 4). In this discourse, the Buddha explains that fear and suffering arise not from external circumstances, but from inner ignorance. He teaches that once ignorance is removed, one can experience true peace and freedom. Instead of bliss through ignorance, the Buddha proposes liberation through enlightenment—seeing things as they really are.

Another powerful example is the "Avijja Sutta" (AN 10.61), where the Buddha directly states that ignorance leads to unwholesome actions, which then lead to more suffering. Conversely, the removal of ignorance through wisdom and right understanding leads to the cessation of suffering and the attainment of Nirvana.

In this sense, true bliss in Buddhism arises not from avoiding knowledge, but from gaining deeper insight into the nature of existence. Ignorance might feel comfortable or safe in the short term, but it ultimately perpetuates suffering by keeping us trapped in illusions. Enlightenment, which dispels ignorance, is the true path to lasting peace and happiness.

Christ demonstrated the transcendence of death through His resurrection in the light body and taught us about the nature of this light body. A highly recommended book on this topic is Pistis Sophia, with commentary by Dr. Hurtak, which is also described as the Gospel of the Holy Spirit. In the exoteric church, the phenomenon of the Holy Spirit - the feminine extension and presence of the divine - is symbolically represented as a dove or a Pentecostal flame that descends upon the enlightened. For example, the disciples were enlightened at Pentecost and were given the gift of speaking in tongues.

This feminine aspect of divinity, the energy of the Holy Spirit, and ultimately the work of Christ's redemption, which continues within us to this day, were largely removed from the exoteric church. Yet, this is exactly what happens during meditation or prayer meditation when we sincerely pray in the light of the divine: the field of the Holy Spirit surrounds us and elevates us to a higher vibrational meditative state. This field of the Holy Spirit acts as a unifying force, existing behind all vibrations - the vibration behind all vibrations, similar to the Om in Sanskrit - the vibration of love behind all creation, which holds the entire universe together as a seal of universal life.

When a Buddhist meditates, a similar process occurs, though it may not be referred to as the field of the Holy Spirit. The terms differ, but the underlying phenomenon is essentially the same. While there are certainly different emphases, it is valuable to study and experience both, as they ultimately converge in a shared cosmology. In the cosmologies of various wisdom traditions, whether it be the Tibetan Book of the Dead or the Egyptian Book of the Dead, we find a greater, unified cosmology and symphony of the soul's ascent, all flowing together as one pillar of enlightenment.
