I think a lot of people confuse liberation with God Awakening, and they are just not the same things at all. Personally, after experiencing God Awakening, I stopped caring about liberation. To me that's a spiritual game that Buddhists love to play. They are trying to act like The Buddha, which to me is not true Awakening. I do not purse Awakening to escape suffering or the world of form. I pursue self-understanding. I think he would realize a new level of Awakening and shit his diaper.

No, that won't be enough to reach the highest levels. But it can be great practice. It's gonna depend a lot on you. Whatever works for you. Personally I don't like practices where I have to force myself to do something. To me harsh discipline doesn't feel loving or right. I don't like that brutal Zen approach to spirituality. But some people do. These days I prefer effortless approaches. The danger with that is, you can get lazy with it. So I certainly see the value of discipline. But ultimately I want my life to be so smooth and effortless that I don't have to force myself to do anything. So that's what I'm working towards. If I have to discipline myself all the time, to me that isn't the highest level of being. Life should be effortless.

As unbelievable as this sounds, I have reached levels of Awakening which clearly show me that no nonduality teacher is fully awake. But I don't expect you guys to believe me. Okay, so you've given them some degree of awakeness. But it's gonna be a very mild degree. I'm not saying you shouldn't do that. It could be very helpful. I'm just saying there are higher levels.

God knows when you know, and not until then, since God is you. Do you know why and how you created yourself? No? Then God isn't awake to itself.

LOL Awakening is beyond any such silly dualities as masculine and feminine. It is Infinity. I am not masculine, I am not feminine. I am Infinity.

Now you're starting to get it

God's will is EVERYTHING. God's will is Infinite Love. It has chosen to not be anything but Love.

Keep dreamin, bud. You are not Awake.

Just sit and do nothing or concentrate on awareness itself. Total surrender to the present moment is very effective for me.

It's not so suspect once you Awaken. Altering reality is not that necessary or important if you're conscious that you create it. That's right. And I expect that. Yes, and I expect humans will soon start altering their DNA and brain chemistry to become more God-like. It shouldn't be so hard to install a small pump in the body which constantly produces 5-MeO-DMT at whatever level you desire.

I don't think it can be explained to you until the moment of a massive Awakening to yourself as God. It only makes sense in retrospect. Basically the way it works is, God has lost himself and is now trying to find himself. So he's giving himself clues and wake up calls all the time, but the lost part of him doesn't recognize the clues and resists waking up out of fear. Until one day he wakes up and realizing what all the clues were that led to it. It's like reading a detective mystery novel. The clues will only make sense after the final reveal.

This is totally false. You are simply not conscious yet that you are God, or what God is. No You have no clue what "me" refers to here. It is not the human me. And you know no other yet.

Yes and yes. I don't see any way right now to be permanently at 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT. Not even close. It's far too much consciousness. But I think I can raise my baseline state of consciousness significantly with more practice of just sitting and emptying out my mind. That's what I'll be working on. Except you haven't yet realized your full true nature. To realize your true nature requires radical understanding of what God is. You can be in state of peace and fulfillment, but that is not the same as being Awake as God. A cat can sit and be at peace and fulfilled. But it has no clue what God is.

I will talk about them in the future. But 5-MeO-DMT is what you really want most. I don't think a sober Total Awakening is even possible. If I just sit in silence, I will be mildly conscious that I am God. Nothing crazy. It's a subtle, mild sense. There's not really anything left to awaken to. The present moment, whatever it is, is what is. The longer I sit, the more conscious my state becomes. I am not actively searching for anything anymore. It's just a matter of sitting like a cat and being conscious. The more I sit like a cat, the more my consciousness builds on itself. In the end, your practice boils down to sitting like a cat and enjoying it. Nothing flashy. Certainly not. But I also don't know anyone who truly is in abiding peace. You have to be careful with such idealizations. In practice I see even enlightened teachers struggle and get agitated and have aversions and cravings. Abiding peace requires years of training. Mostly you will return to your old state, but also something will change in you. But you certainly won't be able to sustain the 5-MeO-DMT peak.

Light her up! I'm not interested in happiness. I'm interested in understanding. Awakening is not about happiness. Although you will never be as happy as the day you realize what God is. Awakening is a state of consciousness. Which, yes, does depend on certain neurotransmitters. It is a realization, but this realization requires a certain state. But you can also train up this state so it's fairly stable. That's the point of spiritual practices. They cultivate the state and make the realization easily accessible. Except it's not reliable at all. And Awakening has nothing to do with pleasure. The point of pursing Awakening is if you want to discover what reality is.

@whatthefucksgoinon That is good advice. Do-Nothing style

Yup Yup Although Peter Ralston acknowledges levels of it. As does any serious spiritual teacher. So be careful how you understand the teachings. That's the paradox. Truth is here all the time, but you are not always aware of it. Be to Awake is to be in a state of God recognizing itself as God. When Awakening goes away, God is still here. But you aren't aware of it as God. Yes, it seems that way. But that isn't the case. Take some 5-MeO-DMT and see for yourself. You don't have to believe me. My claims are scientifically testable.

It's okay, you are just misunderstanding what is being said. ONENESS is a paradoxical thing. You become so together with everything and everyone, that you are all Alone. Together = Alone The duality collapses. It's not negative at all. It's wonderful! But the ego might freak out at first. It's Love!
