The devil is so dumb he missed the pun.

You need both Atman and Maya to have a functioning reality, suicide would remove Maya and you’d be dead so there would be no experience at all, that is not enlightenment.

Whats with JP using the word dangerous all the time, seems he has a shadow he needs to deal with.

Being contributes with peace, love and harmony to this chaotic planet, thats not something to be ashamed of.

Wow! Faith in humanity restored!

Wouldn’t it be easier to go deeper since the monkey ? would be sleeping? Has anyone tried becoming lucid and meditating?

Cats are natural Arhats, they dont need any teaching, to be honest they could probably teach us alot about mindfulness.

Stay off the forum when youre dropping ten tabs of acid.

Oh wow, so basically it would be like a weird trip, lol. Thanks for the input guys, I want to try this atleast once if I can lucid dream first.

This video was released in 2014, people change.

Amazing! Will try this! Another I came up with just now is; “Where are you experiencing?” Not the same as where are you located... this ones a bit different, it really quiets the mind for me.

@Prabhaker Haha i remember reading that in Book Of Secrets, Osho bashed it pretty good

Few days huh... does that mean it’s gonna be 4+ hours again... ?

But yet there it is. Its a mindfuck. It is and isnt at the same time...

Ask it what it wants

I started out doing open monitoring now i’ve transitioned into a self-inquiring/aware of awareness type of meditation which has been huge for me.

I got this as an insight a few months ago, must have come from collective consciousness.

The leading up to the bullet was the story you played out, have you seen Full Metal Jacket? Isn’t that a good movie? What was the point of Gomer Pyle blowing his brains out? None, its just a movie.

Spirituality is the realization that nothing limited you in the first place because there never was a you to begin with. Thus comes an acceptance and freedom to play in this reality, more joy. Drug abuse is the escape from the you that you think is limiting you. You think you can escape but you only dig yourself deeper into your own delusions, more sorrow. So, no, theyre miles apart. But yes, ultimately its just a big play and we’re all different actors.

Im talking about people like Kant,Leibniz, Hegel,Heidegger,Sartre,Hume,Spinoza etc? Is there any value to be drawn from there when it comes to studying consciousness/being? Or just anything valuable in general. @Leo Gura What does the philosophy major think, in hindsight?

@Joseph Maynor Yes, thats true, but I meant solely reading, both theory and practice is important.

@Saumaya No amount of reading can make you enlightened Yeah, I dont need to, I just want to take in perspectives from different minds, from both East and West
