@Black Monolith You can listen to whoever you want.

It is does not overload the body and it expands consciousness so much that you are actually able to heal your body through pure imagination. At least my initial trials suggest it can be used this way. How you would use it I cannot say. It feels very healthy to me. No nasty side effects. I find it very pleasant and therapeutic. It doesn't have any hang over or exhaustion for me. Of course if done the right way. Misuse can surely happen and most people would freak out on this substance. It will turn your whole reality inside out. So this one is only for the most hardcore and experienced psychnauts and spiritual seekers. If your mind is impure, you will be taking a trip straight to hell with this one. If your mind is pure, it will be a 2 hour trip straight to Nirvana.

No, this is something better. No This goes even deeper than that. I have been able to use it to understand the inner mechanics of how God creates the universe using pure imagination. These are levels of understanding not described in any book or video.

Yeah, although just because something isn't explicitly banned does not mean it's totally free and clear. Research chemicals are a sort of grey area. It activates more energy in the body than 5-MeO, causing a desire to vibrate parts of your body. The nonduality is so profound the body want to go into a sort of cosmic orgasm, shaking loose decades of egoic baggage. Yeah, it's tricky. The truth must always be denied by devils.

The Absolute is beyond all theories or human IQ. It engineered humans.

Rubin's show is funded by right wingers as part of their stage Blue/Orange propaganda campaign. The Koch bros fund media to advance a libertarian capitalist agenda under the guise of free thinking. It's alongside the absurd PragerU channel and others. They sink millions of ad dollars into it. It's not organic.

Correct. But don't forget the Absolute.

I have no experience with that.

Good God! Tolle is scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Lol

No! Lol The point of relativism is that you cannot do that. Any book you read will claim to be the truth, but it cannot be. Reality cannot be put into perspective because it is the sum total of all perspectives.

Mushrooms, LSD, 5-MeO-DMT, etc. They're all create for creativity in their own ways. There's a reason artists love to take them. It's like steroids for artists but 1000x stronger.

Yes, but discover what works best for you.

That comes with doing the practices. And psychedelics. Which I consider as "doing the practices".

@okulele A trip video is not gonna awaken the viewer of it. It will just look silly to an outside observer. All the magic goes on on the inside, not the outside. So there's no way to capture the profundity of a psychedelic breakthrough on video. You gotta take the psychedelic for yourself.

@lennart You're never gonna be naturally as high as MDMA makes you. That's sorta like expecting to be on a constant heroin high. Not gonna happen. But doing years of Kriya yoga might best the closest thing, if you open your heart chakra and deeply awaken.

Ego labeling ego, LOL.

@How to be wise You have been given all the spiritual techniques many times.

@Conrad Locking this thread because the way you are expressing yourself is moralistic and not really about a genuine discussion. You want to preach your opinion here but that is not what consciousness work is about. It would be wise of you to contemplate the various dualities which infect your thinking, such as right/wrong, moral/immoral, dead/alive, human/non-human, biological/non-biological, etc. And to notice how your position is a function of ego survival. Go meta. Don't get lost in choosing between left and right positions.

Because mastery of all of aspects of oneself requires decades of hardcore spiritual practice, and even then, you'll probably fall short. It's not as simple as you want it to be. The mind is a relentless beast and it will not be tamed easily. A single awakening event will not be enough. The real work only begins then. See my video on The 10 Ox Herding Pictures where this is explained.

Love without consciousness of the Absolute will not work. Your ego will co-opt it. Dismantle the self and love will result. By shooting for love, you'll likely end up with ego. The problem with shooting for love is that its easy to bullshit yourself into thinking you're being loving while deep down the ego is pissed off because it is unable to sustain true love. It's the same problem as trying to be good/moral while still unenlightened. Religious people try that all the time and it doesn't work. They end up being more evil. This is very counter-intuitive stuff. So watch out. If you really care about love, forget about love and sit down and do what the Buddha did. Then you will have love.

Be careful not to confuse Love with certain ways of acting or even being. True Love is so radical it does not care which way a person is being. Any conditions you set on how love must be is not true love. Unless you are able to see Hitler as an expression of Love, then you're still not getting it. Love is not something you can do. You must reach an appropriate state of consciousness, at which point everything appears to you as love. So any of your plans to be loving is not going to work. You must become enlightened first. You cannot act or fake your way into true love. If you seriously pursue enlightenment, the end result will be true love. Otherwise not. Survival is going to co-opt love for its purposes.

You can't really define it like that. It's not that I have no fear of death, it's that my relationship to death has changed. Again, it's subtle shift. You do not become Terminator. The body still instinctively doesn't like the notion of death because it will not survive the process.

We just had a long thread on solipsism. Search for it.

Don't waste our time with such things.

Someone please give Sadhguru some DMT
