I'm really enjoying the Michael James interviews
finest series you have presented
If there is something like "The Ultimate Truth" I feel it can only be this.
This is very enlightening, it suggests the pre Socratic philosophy of Parmenides was very close to truth (whatever that is).
Allowing that "illusion" is a reasonable translation of Maya, there is much emphasis in these talks on the first two lines of a Vedantic verse that has three lines: The world is Maya; Brahman alone is real; Maya is Brahman. To perceive the underlying reality, we have to abandon our ego-based delusions regarding the world. Having done so, we are then in a position to affirm the world as a manifestation of that reality. But the waves belong to the ocean, not the ocean to the waves.
You are not separate from reality, you are it. The conscious universe. In a deep sleep you visit your home and you will therefore return well-rested. Then you have the strength to be conscious again.
Defining ego as "a thing that exists" is purely relational and creates a dualism. The ego and the self are the same thing, once you attain enlightenment, which is what causes the last satori on your way there. Your body is not an illusion, the ego is the only illusion, thought the self doesn't need definition of labels, the ego is what causes that phenomena. Cool video.
The Infinite is dreaming the Universe and we're the dream dreaming. The is not just Advaita Vedanta philosophy. The Australian aborigine "dreamtime" posits the same thing. We are nothing but dreams capable of dreaming. Nothing is as it "seems". The cruelties we indulge in are nothing but waking nightmares, but even they are not what they are taken at face value.
Better question as what exists is question what exists independently.
So what constitutes and where does this "pure being" come from?
