Well, Pharmacologycally speaking, there's no such a thing as a Psychedelic, only substances that "shows hallucinogen properties", which both Psychedelics and dissociatives do. That's why doing the distinction between "Psychedelic vs dissociative" can be useful to group certain kind of substances, but fundamentally incorrect in the sense that dissociatives do produce Psychedelic effects. It's not that I think the distinction should stop being used, but rather that if the OP was interested in DXM and someone says "it's not a Psychedelic" it might make the OP to think that dissociatives have no Psychedelic properties whatsoever.

Again, there's no such a thing as a "true Psychedelic". There are substances with Psychedelic properties,most dissociatives are one of them.

I had my first true ego death in ketamine, and I had tried lsd and shrooms before ... So I wouldn't be so sure to say "a dissociative is not a Psychedelic". I think more than the distinction of "Psychedelic vs not Psychedelic" a more accurate one is a substance with x % of Psychedelic properties. Does dissociatives have Psychedelic properties, of course they do, and my experience is a clear evidence of it. However I still consider the 'classics' much more reliable for most people, and the fact that they can't almost never be abused as an addiction is also a plus.

Do you think Eckhart Tolle is consciouss that the present moment is all that exists, or do you think he had a powerful Awakening that changed his life, but right now, or at least most of the time, he is not consciouss that the Now is the only thing that exists? Trying to make myself an idea of what is POSSIBLE in this work. Just had a non-dual awareness out of the blue and I entered such an euphoric state I can't believe this was actually possible.

Your head breaths? Lol you must be very weird.

@Someone here You nailed 90% of it. However Solipsism can still be debuked. Because Solipsism exists in reference to an indidivual.

I'm on four day off caffeine. I'm determined to quit this habit for good. The thing is, it's been harder than i thought. I am so tired I can't get any work done. Not only that I have like an overall uncomfortably in all my body when I sit in the chair to get work done. Maybe this is psychological idk. I need to know how much this symptoms will last because the work is piling up and I am so damn tired and unfocused . My reasons for quitting: I hated that I needed to have coffee in the morning or less I won't be able to do anything. I don't know what it's like to have a stable amount of energy. It has hurt so much my productivity. Because I just get 1 hour of intense stimulation where I open 20tabs and then the rest I get a crash of energy. Also when I don't drink coffee I feel so much more relaxed and no anxiety.

Drop the thought of "being consciouss", you're using as a backstory to keep using imagination as Reality. Why you say "but they exist right NOW"? Is that your direct experience? Be careful to not confuse inferences, which only exist in your imagination and guessing, with that which IS Are other persons BEING/ISSING? It's crucial that you see clearly that Existence = Being

@OBEler Look to what is needed to happen to something so it can EXIST. You just answered yourself. You are literally naming "existence" to that which IS, NOW. Does that room EXIST NOW? If not, there you go. It doesn´t. If you go to that room and EXISTS, there you go, it exists. Notice how simply is. If you know that existence is = that which exists NOW. Then it wouldn´t make any sense to wonder if that room exists now. Because it clearly doesn´t. It might exist in the future. That could be possible. Yet you don´t think of existence as a future, only at what a present. Does "other persons" EXIST NOW? What would need to happen in order to that "other person" exist?

That should be "Java". Anyway that´s offtopic since thes thr Lol!

Do you think you could lose that Awakeness? Leo said one time in a video that one guy had been Enlightened for some years and then "he lost it".

Exactly! If you are not consciouss of the truth is the precise moment, then you will suffer. That's why Spirituality from belief comes with serious self-deception dangers . But one good question would be...if I had been consciouss of what is true, yet now I am not, could it be that Im still "not done"? See, there's the approach about states of consciousness. Meaning if you can realize the truth but then fall back into a state of consciousness where the truth is not being realized, then only delusion exists. But if it was really the truth, shouldn't be clear now? If I a totally I am 100% sure identity doesn't exist, I wouldn't be alive right now. So it seems that my mystical experiences has given me some info, but not strong enough to actually die. That's why I think enlightenment comes when the truth is 100% obvious. I remember Leo saying "doesn't matter how much Enlightement experiences you had, if you still doubt you are the body you haven't trascended fear"

???

Sorry but I don't agree mate. If I a say I am God or a I am conscioussness lets be honest how much % I am sure of that. Because if then I feel fear is because deep down there are still beliefs that I might be a human after all. That's like you say "I am God and I know 100% sure that death is imaginary" and then you end up homeless in the street and suddenly you feel fear and insecurity about your body. What is the truth? Do you really know it and you are not that sure?

Yeah yeah a lot of coherent explanations let's see if all it's still hunky dory if one day your kid gets raped.

@Nahm you right. For a second I thought I owned Bliss. So arrogant since I don't even exist Lol @James123 True. Only when I stepped out of myself I realize Bliss has always been the case .

But Bliss can be conscious what it is or not. If not bliss could think is an object and imagine a shit ton of stories. This does Seem as an important difference.

That's such a good insight.

I have healed a lot the past several months and in consecuence I no longer felt excited for this fetishes. At this point is obivous that it was a confidence/self-esteem issue. BUT it seems my brain basically has the same wiring still sometimes (although this might be a excuse because brains are imaginary) so once in a while I still feel the "urge". So I spent 50 quid in the last weeks in a matter of minutes. Probably not much for most people but for me is a lot. It´s the most stupid drug I´ve ever tried. Basically I feel a 2 minute crack-euphoria like when I am sending a girl some money, and then I masturbate. After I masturbate I COMPLETELY get back my frontal cortex and I realize, "well, I just threw away [x] money for absolutely nothing". I probably have to try some psychedelic to reset my brain chemistry, right?. Shadow work has helped but still I feel like a meth-head that can´t control my impulses sometimes.

@Nahm But it's because my imagination is the only mind here. How good is it that you imagined all of this as I imagined all of you. Kind of crazy to know that 'we' have the Same imagination.

@student still very useful post btw. Just wanted to say I was referring to other kind of bliss.

@Nahm Couldn't done it without you ?? @DevOcean ??It's amazing ? happy for you man.

YES!! I was just going to open a topic about this. Recently I've gotten into scary moments while talking where I almost lost the sense of where I am LOL. I used to be a very shy introverted person and since my Awakening my conversations are being like being a whole different person. The "I" who liked to be in control of the conversations fades away and when it does it completely I feel like I'm nowhere. Don't know if I am in my body or in the body I am talking to. Talking with self-love and confidence, a great "non-duality practice".

@student No, you haven't understood the bliss I'm talking about. It's an euphoric bliss. It's a rush. It came out of a state of consciousness where I realized only the Present was real/existed.

No, it's just that "sober reality" gets imagined again after you end the trip. But Leo's head was actually cut in half. It's just that conscioussness imagined again a Leo with a head again. I expect that in very high levels of consciousness one can annihilate the universe for good. I guess this is what he calls merge with infinite love
