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

You got it backwards, friend. Evey experience is Absolute Truth. Cessation is not the measure of Truth. Truth is experience too. Truth is whatever is occurring at any moment. If you see these words on your screen, what you see must be Absolute Truth, otherwise how could it exist? Form = formlessness Formlessness does not have a monopoly on Truth or Reality. It is not necessary on psychedelics because your consciousness will cut right through all form and formless alike to grasp Oneness, Truth, God, and Love. You should actually try a psychedelic before making such claims about them. Not true. You are stuck worshiping the idol of formlessness. There is a higher awakening which will integrate your formlessness with all form (experience), so that you don't need to minimize any experience. Every experience is God's Mind. How about you actually listen to Buddhism? The Heart Sutra clearly tells you: "Listen Sariputra, this Body itself is Emptiness and Emptiness itself is this Body. This Body is not other than Emptiness and Emptiness is not other than this Body. The same is true of Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations, and Consciousness. Listen Sariputra, all phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness." -- Heart Sutra Cessation is not false. But it is not exclusively true. You are denying the most obvious: the Truth right before your eyes. That's quite the feat of denial

The only real shit is this present moment. Here it is. Absolute Truth. You are looking for your glasses all over your house, but they are on your face. Until you understand that, you will never find your glasses.

Of course. But what you don't realize is that it would be unGodlike to thrust Infinity on a normie. That is like if God dumped a metric ton of gold coins on a panhandler. It's not as good as you imagine. Since YOU are God, the problem is not that YOU are the obstacle to your own God-realization. You're preventing it from happening by getting lost in survival and fear and attachment. You are treating this problem as through it is outside of you. But it's not outside of you. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! For God to solve your problem he would have to kill you. And you call this evil. How would you feel if you came to me for enlightenment and I beat you in the head with a baseball bat until your ego was gone. Would you like that? To force awakening on someone who doesn't want it is basically a form of torture.

What's so confusing? If a human body can die unconsciously why can't a human body die consciously? Mahasamadhi makes little sense for a young person who still has a full life ahead of them. But if you're some crusty old 70 year old enlightened master and you got not much else to do, Mahasamadhi may be the perfect exit plan. (Remember: Mahasamadhi is NOT achieved through physical action but internally.)
