Maybe I would, maybe not. That all depends on what my goals and desires are. Just because I choose chocolate ice cream over vanilla does mean one is better or worse from an objective point of fact. Your personal desires are irrelevant when it comes to matters of Truth. You have to stop thinking about reality personally. It's not personal. Stop trying to get anything beneficial out of existence. Have the courage to be totally selfless. If you were totally selfless, it would not matter if you were sane or insane, alive or dead, healthy or sick, rich or poor, human or dog. Truth is selfless. When you are being selfish, you are being untruthful. You are falling into the illusion that one thing is better or worse than another. In Truth, there is no difference, no better, no worse. Being alive is not better than being dead. Being happy is not better than being in pain. That is Truth. But you don't want to accept it. The ultimate freedom and joy is the realization that there is no difference between anything. This is what puts an end to struggle and suffering. So long as you believe that one thing is better than other, you will always suffer and struggle and be unhappy. Truth is the only salvation.

Sounds absurd China took massive action to stop it. But you can't stop a hurricane.

All difference is relative and imaginary. There is in fact no difference between a tomato and insanity. That difference is imaginary.

I made a blog post about that some years ago.

You might have some underlying health issue. Maybe it's a disease or vitamin deficency, or mental health issue. I think you are getting ahead of your skiis. You need just basic self-help to ground yourself. Find a way not to hate your life before you go chasing enlightenment.

God is Absolute Perfection. It requires higher levels of Awakening to realize that. "imperfection" is a relative judgment made by a limited mind. If your mind became Infnite, you could not see imperfection. Because the Truth is you are Perfect.

That cannot be told to you. If it could be told, there would be no point in doing the work. It's like trying to explain color to a blind person. Healing is not Awakening. There are many great healers in the world. That doesn't make them Awake. I'm sure Sadhguru has many amazing abilities and skills. But that's not what I'm talking about.

You should not do psychedelics then. Your foundation is too weak so you are getting into abuse territory. You need more discipline.

Awake up and see.

Again, "Trust in Allah but tie your camel — because Allah has no other hands than yours."

By this logic, why continue to live life? Why not kill yourself now? After all, when is enough enough? Haven't you had enough food? Enough sex? Enough of your family? Enough of nature? Enough of joy? So quit now. You've had enough. Don't waste any more time. You will die anyway, so might as well do it now. I guarantee you anyone you know who's so called "enlightened" will suffer if their health gets bad enough, and they will wish for their good health back. I have never claimed to be above suffering or health problems. This is a naive expectation. If I hit Sadhguru over the head with a hammer, his whole world will crash and he will struggle to do this job. Sadhguru in fact talks frankly about his serious past health problems. Whenever I feel like it. You might as well ask a scientist, When is he going to stop doing science? When is enough enough? You might as well ask God, When is he going to stop creating? When is enough enough?

When people reason this way, the easiest way to hide the Truth becomes by making it too good to be true. Can you not see that your mind is using every trick possible to hide the Truth from you? Wherever you think the Truth cannot possibility be, that's precisely the best place to hide it.

"Trust in Allah, but tie your camel -- because Allah has no other hands than yours."

He didn't do enough 5-MeO. A handful of trips is not enough. It has taken me close to 100 breakthroughs to reach the highest levels. People stop far short of that because they cannot imagine what they are missing and they are not serious about exploring consciousness. They are looking for excuses to quit.

You could make such a distinction. But what you really want is Awakening. Your highest goal is Awakening. But these two are not at odds with one another. It's just a matter of depth. You can do both.

Yes you can. You are unlimited Me-ness is a total illusion. Me is imaginary. You could imagine that you are a walrus. Does that make it true? Awakening will rob you of the illusion of me-ness. You will realize, "OMFG!!! How could I ever think I was real?!" It does. But it is not you. When you see a bird outside eating and sleeping, do you think it is you? Why then do you that when "your" body does that? Why do you take for granted that the experience happening right now is yours? What if it isn't yours? What if it just is, without you? Is the sky yours? No? Then why is the body yours? I have as much right to claim "your" body as mine as you have to claim it yours! Because it's all relative. It is whatever you imagine it to be. You can't understand what I'm saying because of you did, you'd disappear. Fundamentally you cannot help assuming you are real. This assumption distorts your whole understanding of reality. It doesn't make sense to you how reality could exist without a human self. But the human self is imaginary.

You will not reach high levels of God realization with these kinds of practices.

Name me one Buddhist who is Awake. I haven't ever met one. But that doesn't mean he's wasting his time. You can gain much benefit from meditation, but you will not reach the highest levels of God realization.

The question of who is Awake is not about power or being better than them. It's a practical matter because you need to know which methods will and which won't lead you to the highest levels of Awakening. That is all. It's not about a dick measuring contest. If you think you will ever fully Awaken through meditation, for example, I can tell you right now, that will never happen. Not even after 40 years. It's useful to know that so you don't waste time. I'm just trying to save you guys time.

The way you have defined "you", you are not creating. Because you have defined yourself as a human, and a human certainly did not create the universe. But if you realize you are not a human but the whole universe, then you'll see that you are creating it by being it. You can't see how you're creating it because of who you imagine you are. And you imagine you are a human because that is what you needed to do to stay alive as one.

Slow down your tripping. There's no rush. Over time as you trip your ability to handle the extra consciousness will build. You don't start drinking beer by chugging a keg. You start with one drink and build yourself up. A 5-MeO-DMT breakthrough is a radical thing. You may want to explore less radical psychedelics in smaller doses to build yourself up. Integration after each trip is key. Also you are comparing smoked 5-MeO-DMT to plugged DPT. These are very different substances. You're comparing apples and oranges. Plugged 5-MeO-DMT is nice and smooth. DPT will probably be more challenging for most people than 5-MeO-DMT. DPT is a tricky psychedelic. Not the best for newbies.

If you truly experienced Awakening such silly ideas wouldn't even arise. You're stuck in the mind, over-thinking a thing which you have not yet experienced.

@deso Seriously consider the possibility that you do not know what enlightenment is, not even 1%. It sounds to me like you got some basic personal development issues to deal with.

It's a good start. Can't jump into God-mode all at once.

No Awakening has nothing to do with such stunts.
