@moon777light It's still valuable, but if you feel you've stalled you might want to consider another method for a while. Try Kriya yoga or counting the breath to build up your concentration. Self-inquiry is an advanced practice which should only be done once you've calmed your mind down and are able to maintain some degree of concentration. Otherwise it just won't be effective. In Zen they start newbies off with counting of the breath. It's actually quite smart to do so. Count each exhale from 1 up to 10, then repeat from 1. If you lose track, start over from 1. Do this until your mind calms down and stops thinking about random stuff. Then you can turn towards self-inquiry more. It might also be helpful for you to do self-inquiry using a journal. Question whatever you identify with and try to deconstruct it on paper. This process is very good for opening you up to not-knowing. At first this questioning will be conceptual. That's okay. You have a lot of conceptual baggage to deconstruct before you can just sit and focus on the I AMNESS. For example, are your memories you? Is your DNA you? Is your brain you? Are your sensations you? All of this must be questioned and deconstructed even just conceptually. Sitting and focusing on the I AMNESS is a very advanced practice. It is really not for newbies. A newbie monkey mind cannot get traction with it. It's too busy, too active.

@Joseph Maynor There are still a lot of important things to say about truth which most of you guys misunderstand. The topic of truth is not just enlightenment. I mean other aspects of truth. I won't be rehashing the same old stuff on this topic. The fact is 99% of people are deeply confused about what the word "truth" even means. What is truth? That's a profound question and the answer is not something like God or The Self. There's more nuance to it than that. My truth video will be very eye-opening for you even if you've watched all my enlightenment stuff. In fact the topic is so deep it requires multiple videos.

That is not quite right because a human being DOES have some agency/will which Mario does not. It's not the ego's will that is in control, it's God's will. Luckily you are God. So God's will is really your will, not something outside you. Humans have a small sliver of God's will in everyday life, which the ego co-opts as its own.

@WorknMan You are misunderstanding selflessness. Selflessness and honesty go hand in hand. The conflict is between honesty and selfishness. The reason you lie is due to fear and selfishness. You do not lie out of selflessness. If you were truly selfless you would never need to lie.

@Joseph Maynor You are still missing what Truth is. Awakening reveals Truth. Don't mistake Truth with conceptual or verbal relative truths. I'll talk more about what truth is in the future.

@Krzysztof You will not understand this until your first awakening. Then you will say, "Oh! Duh! Truth! Lol! Brains?? WTF is that?" You see, the brain is a hallucination.

Suffering is absolutely vital to life. There cannot be living creatures without suffering. Pain and suffering is what keeps a living creature alive long enough to breed. Be careful thinking you can design reality better than God. You can't. So stay humble and learn to understand why reality must be structured exactly as it is and not according to your fantasies of how it should be. God's design is good. Your design would be shit.

@kieranperez Armodafinil is about twice more powerful. Too powerful really.

@kieranperez Glad to see it's helping you Keep doing research into your issue and you'll discover even more solutions. Tons of solutions exist to discover for any life problem. For example, for ADHD, heavy metal urine testing is critical. You need to make sure your organs are not full of mercury, lead, etc. Those seriously distrupt normal cognitive function and will make your life really difficult.

Yup! They will crack you open like an egg.

@fridjonk Sounds like he's concluded it, but not directly become conscious of it. Tis good, but still a far cry from realizing Truth.

@Socrates Don't be stupid. You need a miligram scale. This is no joke, you could kill yourself or freak yourself totally out or fry your nervous system.

I totaled my car at 80 miles per hour on the highway. Not a scratch. Of course it didn't roll it spun. It if rolled, I'd probably be dead. So don't drive tall cars. Rolling is nasty stuff.

It's complicated. They are all distinct achievements. Sahaja samadhi would be abiding God-consciousness as I understand. Other lesser samadhis are temporary. They are not abiding. So in that sense they are like a psychedelic peak. Psychedelic puts you into samadhi automatically. Then from that state you can have profound insights and realizations. Liberation to me means totally overcoming the self. Breaking free of all identification and all attachment to the material world, such that you are not driven by cravings or suffering. At this point you would be close to just leaving your body because you are so detached from life. You are basically giving up human life to be formless because you've had enough of form. You are no longer interested in exploring form. You just desire to be the Godhead. Liberation should bring you very close to something like that. No-mind is yet a distinct achievement. Although of course there tends to be overlap between all these. They are all pointing in the same general direction. I would not worry about these nuances for now. Just focus on having a few solid awakening experiences. You'll figure out the rest afterwards. Don't get ahead of your skiis.

@MuddyBoots A spiral is just an upwards moving circle. Human growth is spiral because you circle back around to where you had previous been, but you are now higher, thus a spiral path is traversed.

Absolutely! Set the intention to be more loving in all situations. That will yield huge growth. Stopping judgment is so critical if you are serious about the spiritual path. All judgment is delusion, including the judgment that people should stop judging. Judgment is a direct obstacle to Truth, Wisdom, and Love.

@electroBeam The short answer is something like Einstein, Da Vinci, Newton, Kurt Godel, or Leibniz. They are good examples of integrating science, philosophy, & spiritual intuition. The sad irony is that our top scientists used to be visionary geniuses, philosophers, and mystics. And now we have a bunch of materialist hacks in lab coats thinking they are advanced. Philosophy is badly in need of a renaissance.

Dude, allow some leeway for people to go through a process of discovery and growth. You're being a flippant harpy. More compassion, less harping. I do not confuse mystical experience with Truth/Infinity/Love/Consciousness. Do not confuse 5-MeO-DMT for mystical experience. Love is not something you let go of. Love is the consequence of having fully let go.

Well, you are very wrong. Watch out for judgments and projections.

The word intelligence is confusing to people. Most people think of intelligence as IQ or human mind stuff. That is not the Absolute Intelligence I talk about. No, I would not equate intelligence with awakening. The wiser you are, the more likely you are to see the need to awaken. Let's put it that way. God's Intelligence is infinite, but to you this falls on deaf ears. You must awaken to this fact. This is where 5-MeO-DMT (or other psychedelics) can be so useful. They will help you cultivate a desire for God, Love, Truth, and Consciousness -- which will then make you really serious about this work. And then you will get massive gainz!

@Rebec Brutal story. Brutal. But that's how the cookie crumbles.

@electroBeam All very good questions. Spend a few years contemplating them and you'll probably arrive at some profound answers.

@jivvie So you attribute this to modafinil expanding your awareness? If so, you would absolutely LOVE mushrooms or LSD. And don't even get me started on how much you'd love 5-MeO 5-MeO is like modafinil x100000

@aclokay No Go awaken and see for yourself. It will not be anything you imagine.
