Sempiternity

Now is simultaneous Creation and Destruction, hence simultaneous beginning and end. It has no end, as it is eternal/infinite. How are you still not getting this?

The beginning and end is right now. Nothing at all exists outside of Now. Now both exists and doesn't exist, as it is nothing and something at the same time.

@Galyna I would say I contemplate on often, but that would be a fallacy wouldn't it I chalk it up to God's (me) infinite will and intelligence to create such a convincing illusion. It may seem like there are others with their own life and backstories, and that there is motion and the passage of time, but all of it is just the powerful illusion of Now (me). The trick is to install a permanent recognition of the truth, so not to fall for the illusion.

Yes, I get this. I, being all of Reality, not the human 'me'. This is where language breaks down. I am this, this right Now. Nothing exists outside of this Now. If I create others and language to communicate with these 'others', that is what is. But, the 'others' and the 'me that thinks it's making choices', are just illusions happening/not happening within the perception bubble that is me, God. As Now is an instantaneous creation and destruction of this perception bubble, there is no action or choice happening, as that would require a past to exist, which it doesn't.

Yes, that is exactly what I think. And from what Leo has said, he also believes this (not speaking for him).

I'm 46. I've had about 8 different roommates at different living situations. Most were tolerable, a couple were complete nightmares. One got a big dog without asking, and let it shit and piss on the carpet, and would scream and curse at me when I told her it was unacceptable. She stayed for another month after me telling her she needed to leave. I had to replace all the carpet, costing $2000. Unless you know the person well beforehand, it's always a crapshoot. People can lie in roommate interviews, and can put on a good act for awhile, but their true nature will always eventually come out. Best to either live with close friends, were you already know the type of person they are, or try to live alone.

And you're on his forum, so what does that say about you? Going to other people's places of business and shitting on them, is that what you find to be worthy of your effort?

I've heard people say to not do 5-MEO more than once a week, or every other week. Why couldn't 5-MEO be done every other day (giving one day for rest, recovery, and integration) for a short period of time, say 2-4 weeks? Upping the dose a little each time. I guess it also depends on if we're talking a ceremony ending in an Awakening or not. I can see how after a full blown Awakening is experienced, to take some time to integrate that. But, if it's just a trip, I don't see the harm in doing it more frequent than once a week, or once every other week. Thoughts?

What a gift to be able to share that with your father. Wish I could do that with mine before he is gone, but there is no way he'd be open to it.

When it comes to living with someone, you either get along with someone or you don't. And when you don't it will only get worse and worse as time goes on. At least in my experience. If you can't see it working, then best to do another move.

How can one regret something from a past that doesn't exist? When one truly understands that now is all there is, there can't be any other to compare it to.

Oh the irony of Tyler Durden, an imaginary man, inquiring about being alive I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

There is only one opinion that matters, and that's your own. Do what makes you feel at peace. If people don't agree, then fuck em and cut them out of your life. There are many places where people are fully accepted. Where I live, this is not even a thing, people just are accepted and loved as they are. I have many many friends that are trans and don't have a worry in the world. Follow your intuition, and let it guide you. Wishing you the best on your path.

If you haven't seen 'Midnight Mass' on Netflix I highly recommend it. Starts slow, but it all comes together masterfully. This is a conversation that happens at the end (spoilers obviously). For a show about fanatical Christianity, this powerful speech at the end is quite on-the-nose Nonduality. Just goes to show that Nonduality is truly becoming mainstream and part of the collective-consciousness. As the character is dying: ‘What do I think happens when we die? Speaking for myself...myself...myself. That's the problem, that's the whole problem with the whole thing, that word, “self”. That's not the word, that's not right. How did I forget that? I thought I'd despair or feel afraid, but I don't feel any of that. Because I'm too busy in this moment remembering. This body is mostly just empty space after all and solid matter, it's just energy vibrating very slowly. And there is no me. There never was. I'm no longer breathing and I remember. There is no point where any of that ends and I begin. I remember I am energy, not memory, not self. My name, my personality, my choices, all came after me. I was before them and I will be after. And everything else is pictures picked up along the way. Fleeting little dreamlets. And I am the lightning that jumps between. I am the energy. And I am returning, just by remembering. I am returning home. It's like a drop of water falling back into the ocean, of which it's always been a part. All things, everyone who's ever been, every plant, every animal, every atom, every star, every galaxy, all of it, that's what we're talking about when we say God. The One. The cosmos, and its infinite dreams. We are the cosmos dreaming of itself. It's simply a dream that I think is my life every time. But I'll forget this. I always do. I always forget my dreams. But now, in this moment, I remember. The instant I remember, I comprehend everything at once. There is no time, there is no death, life is a dream. It's a wish, again and again and again, and on into Eternity. And I am all of it. I am everything. I am all. I am that. I am you.'

That is your bias view being passed off as truth. Look into Masochism, where what others call torture, is the greatest pleasure. I've been beaten hard with a bamboo cane, to where my back was so welted, bruised, and bloody, to most it would be the worst torturous experience of their life, but to me it was euphoric transcendent pure bliss. Be aware of your views on things are not universal truths.

Pretty sure 5-MEO does not build tolerance, but the opposite, as the more you use, the less you have to take to get the same effect, but I could be wrong on that.

I know across the internet talking about sourcing is a big no-no, but what specifically about talking about sourcing online can get you into trouble? What if a website or person told someone, in a country where it is legal to buy and own, how to legally get a substance, could that also have legal ramifications? I'm most definitely not asking about this site doing as such, more asking in general.

I mean, if this is true, isn't this kinda a big deal, having the son of the man who is currently the 'leader of the free world' not only doing 5-MEO-DMT, but talking about it on a public platform? Wouldn't this be one of the most significant way of getting the message of the benefits of 5-MEO out there to your average american, since maybe Mike Tyson talking about it on ESPN? Maybe if the son of the president talks more openly about it, a large amount of americans could take that as an endorsement and look into 5-MEO. Could you imagine if because of this, there was a huge influx of americans actively finding ways to do ceremonies? Doubt there'll be much of any impact out there, but it's a nice thought.

I agree with everything said here. Been thinking this forever.

I like how Leo defined meditation in this video, which is very different to how it's usually used. Instead of viewing Ego or thoughts as something other that one may be trying to supervene, here he defines it as you putting your focus and awareness on the fact that this bubble of reality is all that there is, and you are all of that bubble. He defines mediation as basking in the fact that you are the whole of the universe Now, nothing more, nothing less. I personally like that definition.

I think you're oversimplifying something that is actually quite detailed and complex, hence why Leo has over 30 hours dedicated to the subject.

Here's the first example I came across in a quick search on YouTube. It's a simple song of native chanting, drums, and flute. This could have been made by stage Purple tribal native amaicans, or it could have been produced by stage Orange producers, or it could be construed as stage Green (or above) spiritual music. See how personal the experience is to each listener.

Watch it with the insults. That's not tolerated here. What SD stage someone is at when they make said music, does not necessarily correlate with the SD stage the person listening to it is at. And it's subjective how that person interprets said music. Two people at the same stage could interpret the same music totally different ways.
