There literally is no brain. Wake up!

Lol That is your naive materialist assumption. Stop assuming that. A beer having an effect does not prove a brain any more than Super Mario drinking a beer proves he has a brain. The beer is a hallucination. You drinking it is a hallucination. It affecting you is a hallucination. Your brain is a hallucination. YOU are a hallucination. Cause/effect is a hallucination. Because hallucination is all there is. The hallucination is infinitely self-interactive. There is no such thing as mind. You are still not grasping the depth of all this.

Of course. That's the case with most gurus, and they get off on it. Did you really expect people to do the hard work of pursuing their own enlightenments? Nope! The whole point of a spiritual community is to delay enlightenment as long as possible by distractions such as kissing Mooji's ass.

@Thanatos13 You are still assigning negative meaning to meaninglessness. You haven't reached true awakening yet. There is deeper. Much deeper.

@7thLetter Wisdom is often earned through making naive mistakes. The important thing is that you learn the lessons from each mistake. Make sure you are really learning each lesson. Contemplate what each of those mistakes was meant to teach you about life. Don't beat yourself up over mistakes. Reframe them as valuable lessons. You didn't pay $5,000 for a stupid tattoo, you paid $5,000 for the life lesson it taught you. What was that $5,000 lesson? You didn't pay $600 to quit a security job, you paid $600 for the life lesson it taught you. What was that $600 lesson? The more painful the lessons, the easier they are to learn

@Slade Right here you already betray that you know what the right path is, and what the wrong path is. Waking up is the right path. Falling back asleep is the wrong path. Don't beat yourself up too much about being 100% on the right path. That is difficult and rare. In practice, you will fall off the path and slide into unconsciousness many times along the way. Maybe when you first start, you will only be 20% on the right path and 80% on the wrong path. That is okay. Just keep your eye on the ultimate vision and keep working the right path. Over time you will build momentum and your percentage will increase from 20% to 30% to 40%, etc. You will if you stick to the right path (awakening). True growth means expansion in your consciousness. Life is long. You can accomplish all the above and more. But you need to create a road map, a plan, an order of priorities. And don't confuse material success with true growth. You can still pursue material success, but don't get lost in it.

It's not practical because you are not yet conscious of what pain is. You've merely been told about this as a possibility. You haven't done anything yet to actualize it. You might as well complain that earning a million dollars is impractical simply because you've heard it's possible to earn, but you haven't bothered doing any work towards it yet. If you became conscious of what pain is, the pain would stop being pain.

How could it not be? Why would pain be fundamentally different from pleasure? Both are just sensations. For you, you are tangible to the degree that you think you exist. But you don't. Haven't you learned yet that appearance is not to be trusted?

Are you sure it was LSD? Laughter could be a phase. It will pass with more tripping. But get your substance and dosages straight. Don't be relying on stuff some random friend handed you. I would bet what you took wasn't real LSD.

More like, your emotional reactivity. Mood is a terrible measure of growth. Mood changes wildly. You gotta ground yourself in something more long-term and stable. Like Nothingness. The truest measure of growth is how deeply you're grounded in Nothingness/Truth/You. Because Nothingness is the only thing which cannot be destroyed. Everything else is fleeting, including success, joy, health, wealth, relationships, career, friends, reputation, thought, or anything else. Even experience itself will end. But Nothingness will remain forever.

@DrMobius Maybe, we'll see.

@Truth Addict Physical pain is conceptual. With lots of consciousness you can realize that pain is nothing. But that will take some deep awakening.

Of course! That's precisely what makes it so great! You can experience every blade of grass with infinite meaning.

@MarkusSweden Sounds like you would enjoy Scientology. Alt-facts, as they call it

@Mikael89 Well, find out!

Of course. It all depends on one's spiritual attunement. Psychedelics don't work on dense people.

@Truth That looks more like a trout

But what if it wasn't? What if life is a hallucination? How could you ever even tell the difference?

There is no way to get it short of enlightenment. This is the heart of enlightenment. Your mind cannot create a "sneak peak" of enlightenment. A genuine nondual experience is necessary. Also, thinking about nothingness will not get you to Nothingness. "Figuring it out" will not work. I tried that for several years and I wasn't even close. You are not going to think your way into enlightenment.

@ChadT I don't think there are many Actualized viewers in Vegas. I gotta go where the people are. They are too lazy to travel. It will be challenging enough to get people to actually show up in LA. It's one thing to show up online, it's another thing to show up in person. People always have last-minute excuses.

It's not from nothing. It IS nothing! Important difference which is lost on the scientists. The universe is as nothing today as it was 14 billion years ago. It's ALWAYS eternally nothing. It can never be anything but nothing. Nothing doesn't become something via time. Time itself is nothing.

@Truth Then you need a fishing pole PON! PON!

@Viking Do you have a problem watching a movie despite knowing it's fiction or CGI? So what's the problem? Enjoy illusion for what it is. Why do you need it to be real? Why must you insist that in order to watch a movie, it has to be footage of actual events that took place in the world? You see how silly that is? The whole point of life is that it is a CREATION! You are creating it from scratch! The possibilities of creation are infinite. So enjoy the creation unfold. God pulled all of creation out of his ass, and in fact, he's doing it every millisecond.

@Maycol There is no need to administer LSD rectally. Lol
