Lol... no more emojis hehehe

Yes, that's true... sometimes even in awakenings without drugs you get into the illusion more deeply than before. It could be a good reason, yep

I don't think so... but I am not sure.

That's what he said @Key Elements

I am on Jed Mc Kenna forum too, and he reacted bad too when I asked him about psychedelics.

That's an insight, now I see clearly the function of thought appearing in awareness.

@Nahm Your self inquiry is awesome. Thought creates reality. Not awareness. In my experience. Sorry to interrupt @TruthSeeker47 but this self inquiry stuff is really interesting.

You don't "become" consciousness. You already are it. The only problem is that your preconceived ideas doesn't let you see the truth. Buddhist say that our ego distorts reality and we cannot recognize our true nature. If you are a materialist, like I was... think about Quantum mechanics. Matter is not anywhere, they can't find matter. Only they can predict where it is more probable that a particle may appear, or its position, momentum, etc... using the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. And think about control. If you think that we are a body, and that there's certain chemicals reactions in the brain that allows us to think, and to do things. How does this reactions happen? Following the rules of physics? So, if you are a result of those rules of physics causing reactions in your brain, how do you have control over that? No one can give you the truth or tell you the truth. The only thing that "others" can do is point you towards truth, but you are the only one who can realize it. Don't follow anyone, just follow your instincts, intuition. Study, try to understand the best way you can and don't try to become enlightened, or become anything. You cannot become what you already are. You can't. When you talk to me, (or write ) I am not listening or reading you. I am reading myself. It's impossible for us to know what others are experiencing, how they see reality and why. I am reading what you say and filtering it through my ideas, my experiences and my preconceived ideas. So maybe for me Jesus was enlightened, others will say no... who has the truth? Just pay attention to your heart and understanding and forget about others, they are (me included) projections on you. You are existence itself. A strange loop. If you didn't see that video, I recommend you to watch it. Leo did it some weeks ago. Peace!

Try this @BobbyLowell Mindful meditation. Observing the thoughts is the easiest way to be not attached to them. At least it worked for me. Being the observer of your thoughts is really powerful

Everybody listen to two voices or more, it's even in popular movies... hehehe...

Cool! That's awesome. You are very welcome! Remember that what IS is always right! hehehe... Just relax and enjoy this dream! Like the song says "Row, row, row your boat, gentle down the stream!! Merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream!"

Oh, cool! I thought you were still in Europe. Lol Don't feel a loser for that! I am a guy and guys always are supposed to have sex ASAP Lol... and I didn't have sex like until 25/26... I don't remember well Lol... Nothing to feel bad about. And there's a lot of people in the same situation, more than you think. The difference is those who were a bit "late" for that don't talk too much and those who had it earlier like to brag about it.

@moon777light Come back to America.

Cool! I was always curious about that "method"... interesting.

@Faceless I thought that it was a method created by that guy , Richard Lang. How did you find about it?

By headlessness do you mean this? @Faceless http://www.headless.org/

Exactly!

I think that is the key. The ego always wants results, and it's impatient. If there's not results fast it becomes disappointed. And... we can be aware of it!

I am meditating almost daily since 2 years ago and I just beginning to notice some changes, mostly in concentration and focus. But it's nothing really hehehe... but it gave me the perspective about how meditation works and what to expect.

Isn't it the same subtle attachment to call it reality? What's the difference of calling it God? or reality? or the flying spaghetti? In my opinion, we shouldn't be bothered by the way what is unspeakable is named or called. God, reality, awareness, all of them have subtle attachments in different ways. If you are attached to matter or science you will call it awareness or reality. If you are attached to the idea of atheism, you can call it the void, if you are religious, you can call it God. It's not different in my opinion. Just my 2 cents.

Hahahaha... You don't see the point because for you is pointless. But I gave you several reasons in that definition of Mahasamādhi. According to that it says that Karma is gone. You won't be suffering again in a new incarnation. That's really a good point! You will become God, or one with God. No more samsara.

I think so, I am not sure if they have a deeper meaning than this one. But I think that's what they refer to.

I agree with that I agree too, sometimes I post things that I am not completely convinced about them. But as a way to be open to different possibilities I share them anyway. I am really not sure what is the idea of leaving the body. I think that once you are enlightened you will see life much more "alive" and you will enjoy more what is now. At the moment. But who knows? They say that they break the cycle of Karma immediately. That's interesting.
