No, that's only true of exoteric versions of any religion. The esoteric core of every religion recognizes that God and world and self are all one. The problem is, most people just can't fathom it. Jesus was God. How more nondual can you get? The kindgom of heaven is within he said. Jewish Kabballah is nondual. Sufism is nondual. The separation only exists in the minds of the separated. If God is infinite, how can you be separate from him? Lol. Infinite means EVERYTHING, including you!

My pleasure

The trouble with all religion, in general, is that it mixes truths derived from genuine mystical experience with a political system of control. It's a bit like mixing caviar with poo. That's what distinguishes religion from mysticism. Mysticism is pure spirituality, without hierarchy or a political agenda. Religion always has a political agenda and seeks to establish a ruling authority. Mohammad was a mystic, but ALSO, he was a political leader who sought to unify warring tribes within Arabia and spread knowledge of the existence of Allah. As a political leader, of course he had to do a lot of evil stuff, otherwise he and his tribe would have been killed. Unification isn't all rainbows and butterflies. Political unification requires war and bloodshed to force people to submit under one banner. Harems were standard practice in Arabia at that time.

@Truth You don't really need 5-MeO. Any lesser psychedelic will change your life forever. LSD is particularly amazing for consciousness work for me.

@herghly If you play with fire, don't be surpised to get burned.

Yes, it usually does. But as Terence McKenna famously said, "Psychedelics don't work on stupid people."

Because even when engaging in the lower Jihad, as Sam Harris does, or the United States as a whole does, for example, it is still none other than fighting with oneself. If everything is nondual, and all human beings are you, then who are you fighting with? Who you judging? All enemies are just projections of the ego. The struggle is always with oneself, even if you trick yourself into thinking you are fighting some external enemy. "We have seen the enemy, and he is us." Self/other is one. God is always in a struggle with itself, that's all. The Lesser Jihad simply amounts to slapping yourself in the face, then getting upset, and slapping yourself back. There really is no difference between igornance and walking the spiritual path. It's just a question of directness, which is a question of karma. To find Allah, some people will have to blow themselves up. Because that is their karma. To find Allah, some people will have to waste 5 lifetimes debating, arguing, judging, doing violence, being politically active, etc. Some people only wake up after enormous self-inflicted suffering or stupidity. Some people need to hit rock bottom before they are willing to surrender to Allah. But in the end, Allah will win over that ego. There is no escaping the Truth. The only question is, how long will you stall out the clock?

@Space There are several deeper variables at play: 1) The baseline level of consciousness you were born with. 2) The degree to which you've deconstructed your mind. How much you've contemplated epistemic and metaphysical issues. 3) Your brain physiology. 4) Your karma 5) Your geunine degree of curiosity about reality. My theory is that all of these factors are more important than dose or substance.

@egoless Discover for yourself by doing the practices.

@egoless Everything is God. Everything is infinite, intelligent, and alive. The finger and the hand are one.

Only everything.

@egoless No, that was LSD. 5-MeO is WAY more profound than that trip. 5-MeO is so profound, I don't even bother filming it. I just say, "Fuck it, there's no way I'm gonna explain this to anyone. The only one who will ever understand is me and God."

DMT is like Mario breaking out of the screen to realize he's the player holding the control.

Just for some context, I spent a good 10 years working on my life before discovering psychedelics. I also spent about 3 years doing meditation and self-inquiry every day before touching a psychedelic. And there was much growth from that. Then I discovered psychedelics and experienced ungodly levels of growth over about a year or two. The psychedelics were the gasoline on the fire. But I spent a lot of time stoking the fire, and that was well worth it. So don't feel bad if you can't do or don't want to do psychedelics. Then again, psychedelics will totally change your life if you do them properly. So really, try to see it as a glass-half-full situation. We discovered an incredible tool for which we should be very grateful. Grateful that we are alive in the 21st century where these chemicals are widely available at all for the first time in 1000s of years. This shouldn't depress you. This should make you super motivated. P.S. Yoga is a close second in power. You can achieve amazing things through yoga alone and other "natural" techniques like holotrophic breathing, etc. There is no shortage of techniques out there, so find what suits your style and budget.

@egoless Mu

@Space Seems very weak for 20mg. You should be able to safely dose higher. For me 20mg is an epic mindfuck beyond the likes of which most people have ever experienced. 25mg is unspeakably profound. And 30mg is...

Nothing more can be said here. You have been given all the pointers. Sit down and figure it out. Or don't.

Hehe... No! I meant YOU can die and your body will keep on living. That's enlightenment! Ta-da! Just what did you think "no-self" meant? It means there is no you inside that body. The feeling you have of you being inside that body is an illusion. And it must die. There is only one problem with your entire worldview, and that is: you think life's happening to you. Remove the "you" and problem is solved. It's just that simple really. Everything stays the same, but you cease to exist.

Tis good

No, you haven't. You cannot imagine what I have seen. Otherwise all your skepticism would be snuffed out. To truly see, the frameworks of your mind require lots of contemplation and deconstruction. Without that deconstruction, the old materialist rationalist paradigm will swoop in and contextual the thing you're seeing into "just an experience", which it is not. There are many, many depths of seeing and groking. You have only licked the surface of the Popsicle. Keep licking!

@John Lula Have heart, have courage. The worst thing that will happen is it will kill you

@LastThursday Lol Man... the lengths your guys' ego-minds go to deny God is quite amusing. Everything you call science is a hallucination. Ain't no such thing as chemicals or brains, only hallucinated stories of such. I perfectly understand you're skeptical. But it just so happens to be a delusion. Take a few tabs of LSD and you'll quickly see this is so. Nevermind 5-MeO. Learn to walk before you fly.

Then the field of psychedelics is just not for you. You've barely scratched the surface of what these substances can do. BTW, LSD only lasts about 5 hours. Beyond 6 hours it's just mild lingering after-effects.

@Lynnel Hundreds of books have been written about healing. Do a search on Amazon.

@Ether Point is to think everything through for yourself. My videos are only food for thought.
