Meh, most such people aren't gonna be powerful enough to perform miracles. I think the real key is having insane levels of consciousness -- beyond even what most psychedelics allow. I just don't know how it can be sustained.

"Egoic desire clung to and dragged into / mixed with God-realization?" This is what you think a miracle is? You got a low opinion of miracles.

Go drink your soy milk

@The0Self It is problematic to regard the desire for self-understanding as "egoic". Very problematic. Be careful not to create a shadow out of the mind. Self-understanding is the highest of desires. And be careful not to create a shadow out of desire.

Nothingness = Formless = Form = Something = Everything = Void Void is right here, right now. Your ass is the Void even while it looks like an ass.

The context of this thread is what unanswered questions I have about reality. I pursue things for pure understanding of them. I have a desire to understand what a miracle is. Not to perform it but to understand it.

You are imagining the difference between real and imaginary.

Not necessarily. It depends on the person and method. Most casual meditation is so weak it might even be counter-productive.

Yes, so we have some structure to it. Of course you regular members can help out whenever you're able.

I'm not talking about ego.

You can develop many soul mates. Intimacy can be consciously created. It doesn't just have to be something that thrusts itself on you. Take responsibly for creating your soul mate connection. Love is not such a limited thing.

She doesn't have to accept it. But he also doesn't have to accept her. You gotta find people with whom you fit. That's key. You can't really change people.

Abundance mindset Not saying you should do this, but: if you are a guy and you don't have enough energy to bang two girls, you've got some serious energy problems.

When females are injected with testosterone, their sex drive increases and they are more interested in having casual sex without care for any guy in particular. The sex drive created by testosterone is of such a character that it is indifferent to who it is having sex with. The female sex drive is different in that it is highly selective and tends to only want sex with one specific person. Whereas the male sex drives does not care who it has sex with. This is difficult for females to accept and understand because to understand it requires having testosterone running through your blood. Which you actually could do. But then you might grow a mustache. Male and female sex drives are quantitatively and qualitatively different. But nothing I said is a justification for any kind of behavior. You can't derive an ought from an is. Certainly men can be in monogamous relationships. Although the more testosterone your man has the more sexual variety he will tend to demand. Porn is actually a good way to keep your man from cheating on you, since it creates a sort of release valve. It helps to understand that your man is not falling in love with the girls in the porn. That's not how a man's mind works. Also, the porn is never as good as real sex, so you're not going to lose a man to porn. Jerking off to Facebook friends? That is admittedly weird and creepy.

That's not how it works for most people. You could meditate for 1 hour per day for 40 years and never reach enlightenment. But if you combined all those hours into a single block that is 2 weeks long, you are way more likely to reach enlightenment. This is why hardcore retreats are so important and why most normies who do casual meditation will never reach enlightenment. Enlightenment is rare precisely because you can't build it up like a muscle in most cases, you need to go balls to the wall for a breakthrough, and most people are too unseriousness to meditate for 2 weeks straight. It is possible to develop some meditation muscle slowly over years, but more than likely such weak sauce will not get you to radical mystical consciousness. This is why monks exist. It's just much more effective to go hardcore as a monk.

No, I don't find contemplation effective for accessing higher states. Although I contemplate all the time to get minor insights for videos an such. Meditation works better for that in my experience. But it's still too weak.

God is unbelievable

How to achieve DMT levels of consciousness while sober. How to perform miracles. It's still not clear to me how high it's possible to develop one's baseline state of consciousness. Like, is there some limit? And what is that limit? Does the human body have inescapable limits? Or can those limits be transcended?

Well, the irony is that you're imagining that in the Eternal NOW. You are literally fantasizing when you wish for Mahasamdhi, which means you're not fully conscious of yourself as God right NOW.

@Dodo That whole picture is in your mind. You are strawmanning solipsism. Try steelmanning it. The irony is that you are even imagining that poor solipsist.

Consider dating girls who are more secure and cool.

Positive I don't want to hinge my speaking on an external crutch.

It's hard to get something positive when you are only interested in avoiding negative things.

@Javfly33 Do you want it? You are God. Decide!

It doesn't matter that nothing matters
