@DecemberFlower At what minute of the day were you born? You don't know. Notice that. That's not-knowing. Now apply that to all areas of life.

Of course. How else could it be? Who is there to judge a devil but another devil? The seeing of imperfection is itself devilry. And that too is perfect. The only thing you have to do to end your devilry is to accept everything exactly as it is. In other words, accept Truth. But of course, precisely because you are a devil you will absolutely refuse to do this, and what's more, you will tell yourself that you are right for refusing. Such is the way of the devil. He is hopelessly lost in his own delusion. Almost beyond help. Almost.

They are the same thing, only one is temporary the other is abiding as you go about everyday life.

@AlphaAbundance You are speaking of 5-MeO without any deep experience of it. So your thinking on this issue is pure fantasy. You would be lucky to be able to handle 3 back to back trips before you run crying for mommy. Get some experience first, then devise your plans. You are trying to use 5-MeO as a get out of jail free card, and that won't work. You can't skip the inner work. But you can speed it up.

Practices are very important. You will not get much out of 5-MeO without practices. You don't want to turn 5-MeO into a crutch. It is a powerful tool, but only a tool. It cannot be your cure-all fix. You ultimately want to be free of it. There is so much more to this work than just blasting 5-MeO up your ass. Keep in mind, when I do that, that's based on a very deep foundation of many years of inquiry, research, practice, and self-help. And even so, I don't do it all the time, I do it very strategically at certain periods of the year. Practically speaking, you will never be able to handle that much 5-MeO. It will totally disrupt your life and you will not be able to integrate it fast enough, leading to all sorts of emotional problems. Integrating 13 trips took me a lot of work. I pushed myself to the limit. And it took me 2 years of tripping to be able to do that. Don't try that at home. I'm what they call a profesisonal

@JakeR If you actually study quantum mechanics you will notice there no particles actually. Particles are pure mental abstraction. What is really there are infinitely entangled qunatum wave functions. Particle never existed. That was a cute story told to you in grade school because the reality of the sub-atomic world is infinitely complex and impossible to model perfectly. There can be nothing more fundamental than nothingness and infinity. No form is fundamental. All "particles" come and go, born and die -- as QM tells you. You must interpret QM very carefully. QM does NOT support materialism or realism at all.

@DecemberFlower That certainty in your purpose will naturally develop as you gain more experience. The point is to keep an open mind. The open mind applies more to new perspectives and ideas, rather than your values and stengths. You don't need to be too skeptical of your values and strengths. Listen to your heart and you will discover your top values and strengths. But you still need an open mind when it comes to new perspectives. That's right, the mind craves certainty just like the body craves food. Which is why openmindness is so hard for people. It goes counter to that.

Said the devil. Lol

If you started to behave unharmoniously, eventually there would be a countervailing force that stopped you. That is the genius of the design. It balances the autonomy of agents within Creation with community. Reality is balanced on a razer's edge. Allowing maximum diversity and interconnection. Life purpose is nothing you have to do, it's something you might want to do when you realize the enjoy of creating.

Ideally not. But it's better to do both than not doing yoga at all. Don't let perfectionism get in the way of growth. If you are young and undeveloped you will not be able to not masturbate. You might as well try to stop peeing.

This thread is turing into idiocy on top of idiocy.

@mandyjw Your pointer will fall of deaf ears.

Don't be a smartass with me.

@Paul92 You are nowhere close to realizing there is no me. You have turned it into an idea, a belief. This is a classic defense mechanism. Honestly it does not sound like you are even ready to pursue enlightenment, not to mention the thousands of hours of intense self-inquiry and deconstructive work it will take just for you to get your first glimpse of what "no me" actually is. And that will only be the start. This work requires brutal honesty and accuracy. Start by at least admitting you believe you were born and that you are a human. That is what you not only believe but feel at a cellular level. It's totally untrue, but to you it feels like truth and reality. So start by acknowledging that. Then maybe you could start to question it a bit. If you want a quick peak of what no-me means, try some mushrooms or LSD. That will give you a small taste of where this work leads. A small taste. I would start you off with just basic philosophical questioning of reality. Like, how do you know you're not in a computer simulation, or dreaming? How do you know other people exist? How do you know your parents are really your parents? How do you know your own mind isn't deceiving you? How do you know science is valid? How do you know an external material world exists? How do you know you will die? Start to question your metaphysics. Like REALLY start questioning it. Not as idle speculation, but seriously, like it might all be an illusion.

@andyjohnsonman There are no scales for micrograms. LSD comes pre-measured in tabs of paper. You never weigh LSD. You clearly need to do a lot more research before you consume anything because you are askin noob questions.

I have already told you. Something and nothing look identical. Everything you see is nothing. You must awaken to the fact that zero = infinity. God didn't get bored per se. That's just a cute metaphor. The more accurate explanation is that God simply IS. It is zero, it is infinity. God isn't really doing anything per se, God is just being God, and so it IS the whole world you encounter. God creates directly by BEING. God does not need a mechanism for creation. It's totally effortless and direct. There isn't a process, it's just pure materialization from thin air using God's infinite will, because God is all-powerful it can do that. Another way to phrase it it is: nothing have ever happened. Which is identical to saying everything happened all at once. A good metaphor for it is that it's like a giant cosmic explosion frozen in time. Since time is part of the creative explosion. It's an infinite creative explosion spreading out in infinite directions without beginning or end. To understand this you must inquire not only Who am I? but What is reality? What is existence? You must awaken to what reality is. Of course reality is you. But WHAT IS IT??? Why is it here? How did it get here? And where is here? All of the above can be answered and understood, Absolutely.

Find out for yourselves. All you've got are beliefs on this matter. If you think that enlightened people cannot have false beliefs or be closedminded, you really don't understand how the human mind works. You'll be in for a rude awakening.

There are layers to human growth and development. There is the psychological layer, the social layer, the existential layer, etc. Each layer is important. Of course beliefs are important. Even the most enlightened people still hold thousands of beliefs which dictate their actions and attitudes towards things. For example I once told a highly enlightened guy to try some 5-MeO-DMT. He refused because he said it cannot possibly show people enlightenment. That was a belief, and a false one as well. No matter how enlightened you get you can still have false beliefs about the world.

@ravlondon Shinzen Young talks about it and helps people out of it. Other than that, you'll have to do some research. I have not researched it much since it's so rare and I don't have it.

Well-respected ones. Ones who people look up to as experts. The Popes of the science world. I'm just saying a deconstruction is necessary along the veins of what Thomas Kuhn's or Paul Feyerbend's work did in the 20th century for science. More of that is needed. It does not have to be screaming rant. Deconstruction can be calm. Or not. Both can be useful.

I was just giving a hypothetical example. Don't take it so seriously. I have no idea where my shirt was made. Maybe it was made in heaven, by God himself? And maybe that looks no different than a Bangladesh sweatshop Maybe

No! You're not getting it. THIS IS THE PERFECT DESIGN! There is nothing perfecter. Any design you imagine would be worse than God's design. Seriously! Think about how profound what I am saying is. I'm not making this shit up. It REALLY is that case that this is Absolute Perfection. The imperfections are in your way of looking at it. It's as though you are looking at a massive flawless diamond through dirty glasses. So you keep seeing imperfections and blaming the diamond. What you need to do is open yourself up the possibility that the imperfections are an illusion created by your ego-mind. If you do that, if you clean your lenses, you will see that the diamond was always flawless. And your heart will melt. Wash yourself of yourself if you wish to see the highest truths. There is no other way. The lens of the microscope must be clean to get accurate results.

@ajasatya I am familiar with his stuff. Dean Radin would be dismissed and rejected by most scientists. They would call him a kook, not a scientist. His paranormal research is rejected across the board by serious scientists. Not because he is wrong but because they are dogmatic materialists. People hold science in way too high a regard. So I think some bashing is a nice counter to that. A culture war is needed here to some degree. Right now people take science way too much on faith. It's part of the Orange stage. What's really needed is a full, methodical deconstruction of science, which I am in the process of writing. Obviously you are more conscious than the typical scientist because you did consciousness work. Very, very few scientists are as wise as Einstein or Tesla. You picked two of the best of all time. That's unfair. I am talking more about your run of the mill scientists. Those who poo-poo metaphysical inquiry. Science advances and evolves precisely through the critiques which I am verbalizing. This is true scientific method happening right here, right now in this thread! We are pointing out it's limitations so that it can become more pure. But as always, scientists hate it when you point out the impurities of science. They go into defense mode. It's an ego thing. They are committed to the survival of science, which ironically entrenches the impurities. Such is how all corruption works. The whistleblower gets demonized. I am the whistleblower. So scientists will demonize me. See, science is a collective ego. That's a profound insight. Go check out my Collective Ego episode and connect the dots. Science is not yet conscious enough to realize that it is a collective ego and all the ramifications this has. So we must make science aware of this to evolve it to the next level.

Any time I capitalize a word I am talking about an Absolute. Good vs good. Good with a capital G is an Absolute. Absolute means it has no opposite. Yes, you can think of good vs evil, but then there is Good which has no opposite (which means it is ALL). When you are conscious of the Absolute Good, you realize evil has never existed. Only Good exists. Good for whom? Good for the totality of existence. Good for you as God. May not be good for the ego. Suffering isn't a bug, it's a feature! Myopic mortal, you have no idea yet of the Goodness of God's design. Total selflessness, total love

Every creation is that way. Have you looked at how living creatures evolve? They are all hodge-podges of past creatures. No creature is ever created out of thin air in one step. Nor is any vehicle or human gadget or invention. They all require gradual refinement and evolutionary innovation. And yet, each creature still have original parts. You are not merely a combination of your mother and father, you are something new. Perhaps self-copying is core to the creation process? Now there's an interesting idea Don't be afraid of standing on the shoulders of giants. It cannot be otherwise.
