This particular discussion is fruitless. God both created itself, and it has always existed. Because existence, creation, intelligence, being, will, truth, understanding, and love are all one.

The problem with offering an old man 5-MeO is that I don't wanna kill the poor guy. I offered it to Ralston. He refused, ridiculing me. Closedmindness is a hell of an obstacle to this work. A person with 40 years experience is also a know-it-all in his own mind.

The chances that volunteer work will lead to your awakening is extremely low.

Guys, all these explanations you come up with are dualistic. Notice this. You are trying to capture infinity in conceptual schemes, which will not work.

You need to find a unique and underserved need in the marketplace and invent a creative and effective solution for it, providing people with massive value. That is the heart of business. Everything else is distraction. What you eat and when you wake up is irrelevant. Business is a very concrete thing. Try not to muddy that with a bunch of cute self-help ideas or philosophy. "How can I add massive value to the world??" << that should be your top question when thinking about biz. If you're not adding real concrete massive value, you will not succeed.

Another good way to put it: when you realize there never was a self. When you realize you were never born.

You guys pose some great questions. Unfortunately to answer them all would require writing several volumes on Conscious Politics.

The house rules are: BE HERE TO LEARN! You are being shown advanced things here which are over your head. I fear you may have to be kicked out cause you're not interested in learning and it's a waste of time dealing with such people.

Just wing it. You've can only figure stuff out like this by living through it. Your mind is very strong. Even after a terrifying experience you will return to homeostasis quite fast. A week later you will be back to normal in most cases. Your body and mind have automatic healing mechanisms. You're not some fragile vase. Did I say that? If so, it was just a metaphor. Don't take it literally. This technique is not a replacement for meditation. Rather where it shines is in dredging up latent emotional baggage, which meditation does only very slowly. Meditation's primary purpose is not dredging up emotional baggage. You can spend years meditating, and become a good meditator, but you may still carry deep emotional baggage.

@zunnyman When you are fully conscious that you are God, the notion that your body will decay does not even make sense. Since your body is totally infinite and omnipresent. The human body is no more you than a brick wall. I was looking at a brick wall the other night and I could not tell the wall apart from my body. The wall is as much my body as my body. Being immortal is not about living forever through time. It is realizing that each moment is eternal already and that there is nowhere else for God to go. God cannot go anywhere because God is everywhere. You will not become enlightened. Rather enlightenment will reveal that your birth was just an idea, a story. The story of you will be erased. What will remain is omnipresent consciousness, which is God. Your perceptual field will be radically recontextualized and realized to be the body of God. You are not understanding just how radical enlightenment/God/no-self is! It's so radical you cannot imagine it, and it does not fit that materialistic paradigm you're using. That whole paradigm of a physical world will be wiped out at the moment of enlightenment. There never was a self. Ta-da!

What you have yet to realize is that the entire universe is your body, every grain of sand on every beach of every planet is your child. Not figuratively. Literally! There is nothing which is not your direct offspring. When you realize that, you will understand Absolute Love. Limiting yourself to your body is the grand illusion which we are here to overcome. This is the larger reality to which you are being pointed to. Discover Absolute Love and you will become a better parent too.

User @ColdFacts has been banned from this forum for displaying a consistently closedminded attitude. Warning: I am on the lookout for trolls and people who are not here to learn but waste people's time.

@CreamCat Root access comes after some deep enlightenment. How do you think advanced yogis acquire siddhis (paranormal abilities)?

@SerpaeTetra Be careful. Lest your love be put to the test. Life can put you through some brutal tests. Many parents would break. And even if you love your child very much under all conditions. That's still such a narrow love. What about the other 1 billion children on this planet? Why don't you love them too?

It is simply what's true.

This is false. There is no suffering in manifestation other than what you add to it. If you cannot find lasting peace right now, you will never find it. You will not find nirvana anywhere but right here. Your job is to realize that this here and now is nirvana. Don't go looking for nirvana somewhere else or at some future point in time. Those stories are the thing keeping you from realizing nirvana. Nirvana is Truth, and Truth is NOW, NOW, NOW.

Learning does not require blindly believing things. If you were serious, you'd be here to learn. But your cup is full and you're here to double down on your existing worldview, which is the opposite of the purpose of my teachings. If you do not want to learn from me, then you should not be here. Learning from me does not require blind belief. But it does require an open mind and a willingness to lay aside your existing worldview. Your choice of username betrayed your ideological position from day one. You are just here acting out a materialist program, like a robot. You are not questioning yourself but instead fighting externally.

If you meaning attacked by foolishness, then yes. We are trying to curb aggressive ignorance here.

@Freyah You have to understand that ALL action in the universe is ultimately love. Just in various forms. Sometimes twisted ones. Is a parent's love genuine love? Yes, but it is still quite narrow and conditional. There are many things your child can do which will make you stop loving it. And certainly not all parents love their children. Some parents are much better at it than others. But even the best parents still don't know what universal unconditional love is. They know love only within that narrow context of their child. Wait till you experience God's infinite universal unconditional love. Then you'll understand why I say that parental love (although good) is like a drop compared to an ocean. Yes, I agree that parenting can be a big growing opportunity. But it will not deliver you to Absolute Love. That requires spiritual practice. What's really amazing is when you realize that murderers, thieves, and genocidal dictators are all acting out of love. Love is as diverse as all the objects in the universe. The reason I say that things I say is because I am trying to point you towards discovering Absolute Love -- a thing which you have not yet discovered.

Stop spreading your ignorance here. Be here to learn, not to opine. You're getting close to a ban.

What it feels like to be insane.

Past life regression is a common hypnosis technique. You could try that and see if anything interesting comes up. There's no guarantees. Other than that, hardcore yoga would be your best bet. Once you realize consciousness is all things, you'll understand that you/it will live through all possible points of view. Large doses of psychedelics also help. If you mega-dose some mushrooms you will see some crazy shit that will be totally out of this world. Be careful what you wish for. This is no joke. You are not ready to know such things.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family. Not as dysfunctional as yours, but still. The most important thing to do is move out and become as independent as possible. From there you can start collecting the pieces. Don't feel bad about leaving them. At your age you gotta learn to survive independently of them. This will also make you feel powerful rather than a victim. Don't worry too much. You can overcome and heal all that childhood crap. It will take work, but it can be done for sure and you will later be grateful for that it taught you. Hang in there for now. Do the best you can to break free. Create a practical plan for moving out and work that plan a bit each day.

@Wekz Sorry to hear of your situation. It must be challenging. I would recommend 1) distancing yourself from your family, limiting your contact with them at least for now, and 2) going to therapy to talk all this out. You don't want to keep traumatic stuff bottled up inside. You gotta talk it out so you get perspective and distance on it. Psychedelics might also be very helpful, although also painful as they will force you to confront uncomfortable things. But in the end it will be healing. They can show you true love. If you live with your family your #1 priority should be to get a job and move out. That alone will help a lot.

Some things in life you can only intuit. Not everything is absolute knowledge. We deal with a lot of uncertainties in this work because we never have perfect information. We cannot crawl into a person's head to know how awake they are. But we nevertheless have to make some assessments of it in order to determine who is worth learning from. I have interacted with and interviewed masters with 40 years of experience. And I see gaps in their understanding of reality/God. I feel like I have become conscious of some things they have not. Of course this is a grey area. It involves some guesswork. No doubt 40 years of discipline is a powerful thing and comes with many benefits which you could not get any other way. But it does not guarantee the highest levels of consciousness or understanding.
