Who cares! Just realize that you are God and put an end to all this silly religious stuff. Keep your eye on the ball, not the dancing squirrels.

Read the OP to get the context of this thread and my response. All I said here is that a psychedelic can quickly clear up the OP's question. And that is true.

But that's not the main reason I think he wants to fight. I think he wants to fight again to recapture some of his former glory and have a sense of purpose. One of the worst things is to be a world champion where everyone loves you for your talent, and then not being able to do that any more. It's a huge downer to lose one's purpose and become a useless old has-been. If I couldn't shoot any more videos tomorrow, it would be really sad because I invested so much effort to build up that talent and it gives me a sense of significance. But for Mike it's much worse than it would be for me, because I always have awakening I can find refuge in while he does not.

Well, I'm tired of methods that needlessly take years. Why not do what is proven to work?

Tyson lost all his millions long ago. I think he went bankrupt.

Visualize love and success to counteract the fear. You gotta become your own biggest cheerleader. And remember, failure is totally okay. Fail often, fail faster. Repeat.

Geez... sucks to hear.

Guys, just drop it. Let this issue go. She's new here and she's doing okay. Let's be welcoming towards new people who are here with good intentions.

Playing devil's advocate, actually God is closer to a feeling than it is a logical puzzle. If you just shut up and try to feel God & Love, you'll do much better than intellectually masturbating about it. I think you guys are neglecting the power of things like faith, devotion, commitment, and feeling. Religion can be a powerful healing & transformative force -- despite all it's obvious problems. Religious people are not just in delusion or fantasy. They are reaching out to God in their own crude way and it does transform them for the better in many cases. Of course devilry and ego still runs rampant. But it does so even among meditators and yogis. It's extremely rare to find a totally pure and selfless person. And there is more to all this than just awakening. Awakening will not make you a totally pure person by itself. Becoming God-like is a much larger project than simply meditation or self-inquiry.

Whooooooosh! Over your head. Don't confuse Arnold's mastery and passion and vision with greed or gross survival. You guys are missing out on important lessons from healthy stages Blue & Orange. Nail down the fundamentals like visioning, goal-setting, planning, self-motivation, discipline, work ethic, commitment, patience, focus, overcoming failure, taking responsibility, not playing victim, etc. before you go chasing New Age pipe dreams.

Actually I am. Fairly regular folks at stage Blue are capable of feeling God through faith and belief and devotion. Which is why fundamentalist religion is so popular. You don't have to be a saint or enlightened master for this.

That is irrelvant. That's an evaluation you are making. Total Awakeness can last 1 second or 1 century, it makes no difference from Truth's POV. What's true is true regardless of how long you are aware of it or what state you are in. Truth and Love are identical whether you are aware of it or not.

You don't understand what 5-MeO-DMT is. "Fleeting experiences" is your own ignorant projection. "Fleeting" is a relative notion of a timebound mind. 5-MeO-DMT is Eternal. It is as Absolute Truth as truth can get. If you don't understand that Truth = Love, you ain't awake.

See video: The Many Facets of Awakening where this is explained.

It's matured me a lot. Ripened me with wisdom and grounded me. Of course I have much work left to do on myself.

Don't assume that all gurus are talking about a singular thing called enlightenment. "Enlightenment" is more like a giant spectrum of possible awakened states and ways of being. You can have an awakening with God-realization or without, and there are many degrees of God-realization. There are literally 100s if not 1000s of different awakened states possible.

Plenty of people are naturally spiritually gifted and effortlessly connect with God through intuition and feeling without a lot of prior work.

This is a very arrogant framing. People who go to chruch are often very serious about it and put in a lot of effort in walking a spiritual path. They are basically doing a crude, traditional form of Actualized.org Prayer is a legit spiritual technique. Of course they can feel God. That doesn't mean they are awake or that all of them feel God. Some of them do. Most of them don't. And just because you feel God does not preclude delusion. Even awakening does not preclude delusion. Self-deception and the self-bias and corruptions of the ego-mind are a near-constant driving force. Don't underestimate the power of belief and faith. Billions of people are religious for good reason: it actually improves their lives. Your view of religion is too negative and it's clear you've never hung out with serious religious people or partook in their practices.

@Mystica45 Sounds like you got too much Jed McKenna up your butt. Sad. Your bullshit won't fly here. You have no idea how deep all this goes.

See my videos: What Is Perception? and What Is Truth? and What Is Actuality? I have explained all this in great detail.

The "something" which is precieved is Infinite Absolute Truth and Nothing.

@Mystica45 You ain't awake. When you truly awaken you will realize how profoundly wong you were.

You speak of things you don't understand.

Ahahahahaha....
