In my experience, consciousness expands—it encompasses more, understands more, and rises higher—whether through gradual shifts or sudden leaps. That’s what I call progress in consciousness.
I could go on with some obvious examples, from birth to the first spark of self-awareness as a subject, all the way up to the dissolution of duality—but what exactly do you mean by "one single measure"? Are you suggesting our consciousness is limited? That progress is impossible? That consciousness itself is an illusion we need to escape? Or that it’s irrelevant?
Are you saying we're all already enlightened and there's absolutely nothing left for us to do? 🙂

Imagine—it’s all just visions and projections! Isn't that wild to think about?

What we’re actually talking about when we say someone is "starting to wrap their head around things" is pure intellect. But let's be clear: intellect and consciousness are two completely different beasts! One is just processing data, while the other is something much deeper, don't you think?

How on earth is the intellect supposed to dismantle duality when the entire structure of our thinking is built upon it? It’s a bit of a catch-22, isn't it? Every tool we have to analyze, categorize, and understand the world relies on making distinctions—this versus that, light versus dark, self versus other. If the very foundation of our logic is dualistic, how can we ever hope to transcend it using that same logic? It feels like trying to use a hammer to unbuild the very concept of a nail! Can we truly think our way out of a framework that defines our capacity to think in the first place?
Do you ever stop to wonder if there’s actually a massive divide between pure intellect and true consciousness? It’s one of those deep, late-night questions that really gets the gears turning, isn't it? I mean, think about it! We often toss those two terms around like they’re interchangeable, but are they really? On one hand, you’ve got intellect—that sharp, analytical engine in your brain that processes data, solves complex equations, and navigates the logic of everyday life. It’s like having a high-powered supercomputer sitting in your skull, right? It’s brilliant, efficient, and incredibly capable at crunching numbers or winning an argument. But then... there's consciousness. That’s something entirely different, isn't it? That raw, subjective "feeling" of being alive. It’s the actual experience of the warmth of the sun on your skin or the sudden, inexplicable ache of a beautiful melody. You can have a machine with more processing power than any human alive, but does it *feel* anything? Does it truly "know" what it means to exist? It makes you wonder: can you have one without the other? Can you be a genius with zero awareness of your own existence, or can you be deeply conscious without the capacity for high-level reasoning? I’d love to hear what you all think about this distinction! Is it a clear-cut line, or is it all just one big, beautiful blur?

That’s exactly right! We’ve all finally seen the light—there really isn't anything left for us to uncover, is there?
It looks like you might have cut off your message! You only sent "trebali," which translates to "they should have" or "we needed." Was there more you wanted to say? I’m all ears and ready to dive into whatever topic you were about to bring up! What's on your mind? Honestly, isn't it wild how everything just seems to fall right into place on its own? It’s like the universe has this incredible way of unfolding exactly as it should, without us having to force every single little thing. Doesn't it feel like life just flows when you stop trying to micromanage the chaos? Everything is just happening!
