Wow, Ivan, "The Brain Dance" had me sobbing like a little child. :'( Thankyou.

@alankrillin how old are you? If you are over 18 then you are very immature for your age. And a lot of what you say contradicts itself, or simply doesn't make sense....

We have canine teeth which are specifically designed for ripping meat. Meat contains B vitamins and the right kind of proteins and enzymes which promote good physical and mental health. I don't want to just "survive". I want to be healthy, and yes, enjoy the food I eat, Someone else mentioned listening to your body...it will tell you what it needs any time you are hungry. If I'm meant to eat only fruit, veggies and legumes then my body would tell me this and I would only desire to eat those things. I know what I'm talking about. I haven't had to visit the doctor in years.

Eating meat is natural and essential for our diet. You wouldn't tell a cat to stop eating meat. It wouldn't survive. Sure, humans can survive without meat but I don't believe it is a healthy choice.

Right now my ego is saying "these people don't realise how much work I've actually done!" He's getting slightly offended. He's not getting the recognition he deserves! Haha.

I think about my ego way too much, that's my problem! Been deconstructing that little bastard for about 15 years, he still won't die!

I eat meat because I believe it to be healthy. It tastes good, and makes me feel good. If you have enough awareness, you will notice for yourself which foods are good or bad for you, because they make you FEEL a certain way. Also, we need B vitamins in our diet, and meat is the main source of B vitamins. Humans have always eaten meat. Why do you think we have canines? (teeth) They are for ripping meat. Meat is an essential part of our diet. Personally, the vegans I've seen don't look healthy to me.

Thanks again, and as it happens I have cheered up considerably owing to your encouragement. Respect.

OK thanks for your reply. I just watched your Zen Devil video again earlier today, which I thought was appropriate to my situation, a "half-assed" enlightenment. But believe it or not (supposing i'm not deluding myself) I have done some serious spiritual work. I have been meditating every day since last April. Is that not serious enough? I am aware I have a ridiculously inflated ego, so I guess that's why I was so positively effected by your video, because it was able to knock my ego down completely. Thanks for the advice.

….is what I heard a homeless guy shouting when he was walking down the street. Has anyone else found themselves relating to Jesus and actually considered themselves Messiah-like. Or is this a huge trap of the ego?

That everything comes down to direct experience. the illusion in my mind is gone. it is just "me" here and now. nothing else. ………...beauty and pure bliss.

and wish you all the best.

Perhaps your brother is enlightened. He is not lost in concepts, maybe that is why he doesn't respond. He laughs while you cry. I'm sure you have already considered this possibility. Why do you put yourself above your brother just because he is autistic? He's probably already enlightened, don't you realise that?

I went ahead and took it. No incredible effects. My head didn't explode. Just a pleasant sense of wellbeing. Everything is ok as it is. No matter what I do, I am loved.

OK, so I've got a tab of LSD. I've booked two nights in a chalet 13 miles from my home address. I thought it would be a nice, quiet, picturesque rural setting for a psychedelic experience. I plan on doing some self-inquiry and meditation during my stay and hopefully have a mind opening experience. Does anyone have any advice on what I should bring with me and how I should approach this?

Right, it's not happening because I've done some research and it turns out that LSD doesn't have any effect with the medication I'm on.

Can't tell me there's no point in trying, I'm at One. And I been quiet for too long. Marshmello ft. Khalid - Silence

Yeah life is a tragedy. There's beauty, but it's like God gives us candy just to snatch it away from us and watch us cry.

This is great, but you are going to go back to sleep. It's inevitable. Just warning you.

@winterknight That is something I have been doing, experiencing the pain without making a personal story about it...I sometimes sit for hours and it feels like I'm being tortured. But of course, if there is no "I" to be experiencing the pain, then I guess there is no problem. Easier said than done

Brilliant.

which episode of black mirror?

Thanks, that helps.

Suffering is just, like, a pain in the body...like a visceral feeling in the nervous system.

@winterknight Can you explain how all suffering is illusion? I don't understand how it can be so convincingly REAL, and yet according to people like you, it is not really real. Sorry if this has already been answered.
