The brain itself is a trap within consciousness. Be very careful with this idea that "the brain" anchors reality. This is the crucial knot that must be cut. Throw your brain out the window.

Every formulation whatsoever is dualistic and requires an opposite to hold it in your mind. If it has no opposite, you cannot think it or speak it.

Imagine death? Lol. Death has always been imaginary. Without imagination there cannot be a notion of death. If you're thinking "death", that's you imagining it. Even the notion of suicide is imaginary, since you must imagine yourself not existing. Which is an impossibility. You might as well imagine that you are a horse.

People have said no to heroin without being Buddhas. Just ordinary people. Of course this doesn't mean it will be pleasant.

The difference between self/other is imaginary. This means that you cannot even formulate solipsism vs its opposite. I mean, you can. But you're imagining that difference.

Just sit and enjoy what is true. Suffering arises when you want something to be different than what it is.

Of course! Not just language, all knowledge is relative. Infinity cannot ever be explained no matter how hard you try. The harder you try the more you fail. All knowledge is a house of cards.

You're still in it, so what are you complaining about?

See my video: What Is Perception? Sensation minus ego = Absolute Truth Just do the practices and experience the results. Why are you listening to a teacher talk about psychedelics when you can take a psychedelic and feel it for yourself? Why are you giving more credance to hearsay vs direct experience? You can't be sure until you acheive Absolute Infinite Consciousness. Once you are conscious of what Infinity is, there cannot be anything more or other. If you think there can be anything beyond Absolute Infinity, you don't understand Absolute Infinity. One/many is a distinction. All distinctions are imagined by consciousness. There is no difference between one thing and many things. The list is endless, making it ONE. You know via infinite consciousness. You are it. You are the one endless list. A list of all possible lists.

Again, all that is your own projection. Your mind serves up whatever you want to see/hear. So it's no surprise you get all your ideas validated. The fact is that all the US intelligence agencies agree that Russian was involved in the 2016 election and is still continuing it's manipulation. Roger Stone, Trump's contact with WikiLeaks was just sent to prison for lying to congress about his connections. Trump himself asked on live TV for Russia to hack and release Hillary's emails. Case closed. You think by having an edgy non-mainstream opinions that you're somehow being smart, but you're just being foolish. Just because your opinion differs from the mainstream doesn't make it true. When you challenge the mainstream you have to be grounded in something solid, not just being edgy. The US intelligence agencies are a lot smarter than you.

Science cannot ever tell you what anything is. Because science is relative. All it's doing is telling you relative differences between things, never what the thing actually is. For example, science cannot tell you want a cat is, it can only tell you how a cat is different from a non-cat.

Be careful not to waste your time with gimmickry.

@Justine See my video: Ego Backlash

Like I said but you refuse to consider, those are your projections. You're not arguing against me, you're arguing against your own mind.

Outflow of love. The more conscious one becomes, the more one's life becomes about spreading love to others. At the highest level, God creates selflessly for the benefit of all living beings, needing nothing for itself. There is no greater joy or purpose than this. Nothing else is worthwhile for an advanced intellect.

@Alfonsoo Do it and see what happens. If you dare. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face because what you are doing is devilry: manipulating for sex. But hey, devils can't help being devils.

Nope

Ha! Why do you believe your own mind? It lies to you. Can't you see that? Nothing you believe can be trusted. None of your own logic or justification can be trusted.

@Red-White-Light Because you haven't finished your work, not even close, and you are having ego backlashes to going further.

This is a fantasy. There was nothing blissful about it. Drop the fantasy and enjoy the present moment. You can't find happiness anywhere but HERE & NOW.

Is there really a romance, or is it all in your mind? Just because you see it as a romance does not mean she does. There is a tendency for desperate guys to see a romance where none exists from the girl's POV.

You make a lot of assumptions about me. Which is really nothing more than a projection of your own biases. I look biased and closedminded to you precisely because you are biased and closedminded. None of this work is about me. I am irrelevant.

It's all gonna depends on the specific condition and person. Generally speaking, such disabilities will make it harder. Mental sharpness is an important foundation for this work. The people who awaken are usually high-functioning people, not people who can barely tie their own shoelaces.

@Matt23 Expand your definition of technology to include psychedelics. That is the most powerful technology. Nothing else comes close. Keep in mind that any technology which truly worked at radically altering your consciousness would be made illegal because it would destabilize the mind and undermine the illusion of society and its power structures. If a technology can make you awaken, it can also make you lose your mind.

Of course, after the successful manipulation in 2016, now every foreign government will try the same. It's open season. Our inaction and denial only invites further manipulation. It's clear to everyone now that if Trump is helped by foreign manipulation, Trump himself will welcome it and protect the manipulators because all he cares about is winning at any cost. This is the essence of treason. Russia has a special position though because of Trump's finacial ties with Russian oligarchs. They underwrote his loans and enabled his whole fake career. China is not as well situated. And Russians have worldclass hackers with zero ethical standards.
