I will try to go as deep as I can. I will describe you, or at least try, how it feels So...feels like a net to me, there is a tapping into the net when knowledge is needed. How knowledge appears? Certain sensation aka thoughts. The mind takes and twists this concept as if death is going to happen sometime in the future. Future is a thought Should I contemplate deeper what language is? It feels like there is an inner dialog, I am trying to understand what word is? I am drawing in the semantics and definitions. A linguistics is "the scientific study of language and its structure..." A language is "the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way." A word is "a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space on either side when written or printed." A speech is "the expression of or the ability to express thoughts and feelings by articulate sounds." Thoughts are "the action or process of thinking." or "ideas" Thinking is "the process of using one's mind to consider or reason about something." A mind is....basically a thought...vicious circle. Bunch of an abstract ideas that were built to reinforce more thinking and more confusion. Please guide me, I am stuck... Thanks for helping to osmose these things.

Think positive and it will Good luck.

why parallel universes and right now (whatever now it is: yours/mine/a person in this thread) can NOT be imagined simultaneously. Why only 1 NOW per POV?

I get this part. Have you ever had one? There is no sarcasm in my statement, just curiosity.

would that not require shift from being a mere illusion and to become Truth? I just can not get it, how a paper ticket can be handed to an cartoon character. I am struggling because they are made of different substances.

Because mother and bullet are just appearances, might be agents of "my" Reality. How do I know if she is real or not if I do experience this reality from first person? She can be dead for me, but!!! I am not dead, therefore, it is all part of my experience including her death? To acknowledge someone's death requires me in this equation. No me, no mama's death. Does it prove that my death as real as her, absolutely not....I have never been dead before. Everything that outside of my experience can be anything and I can not verify it, thus I can not take it as a face value. I can ultimately only trust my own experience. That is all I know!

I do not know if it can kill me (I have never been dead before) so both these statements, aka can/can not, are in unverifiable mode right now, as a Schrödinger's cat. Might kill, might not, guess I will find out what can/can not kill me when I am dead, or still alive. Unlike the other claim, this one is easy. I am not going to fall through because I am a part of the imaginary reality. Like pixels on the screen for the cartoon, none of it is glitch, they perfectly line up as a whole.

I was not talking about the benefits, they preach about... I was talking about a falsehood of their perception for Love, God and Infinity.

Another 5 cents: @Leo Gura I do not get one thing: how imaginary psychedelic that is given to imaginary ego ( notice! both do not exist in the absolute sense) can trigger true awakening and buy you a "ticket to the Moon"? (Where the Moon is a non-dual state, so called Truth.) It is like handing a lottery ticket to the cartoon character through the screen, where the ticket is a paper and the character is just a bunch of pixels on the screen. Semantically speaking, these are two different dimensions. One is 2D another is 3D and the Truth is a 4D ( hypothetically speaking) I can not wrap my mind around it, since all is matrix (lets just call it this way) and psychedelics are a part of it, but they can pull you out of this matrix.

I have been asking this question for quite a while. "How so?" I do not know, I have not taken psychedelics. But lesson is learned. Taking psychedelics does not mean or imply being a spiritual person who is mastering or dissolving their ego. I do not care how much psychedelics you take, if you lack some human interaction basics, to me that speaks more than any of your claims about God, Love and Infinity. Actions, my dear, actions....words do not cost a thing.

Here is my intake on it. I am sure that psychedelics can dissolve your ego, they can have healing power, give you bunch of insights and deepen your work on the path to Enlightenment, however I have some doubts and will be talking from my personal experience. Read between the lines and connect the dots: A lot of people on this forum claimed that they have received some kind of revelation about God, Love and Infinity when doing psychedelics. OK..no problem,and I took it as a face value, however, when I started to interact with them through this forum, I have noticed a particular thing: they have not mastered their egos in a way how high conscious people should. No shadow work, no self-awareness, none of that. (I hope I am not hurting anyone's feelings here) I am trying to be objective. Actually, by approaching those people and really interacting with them, I begin to doubt in a powerful effects of psychedelics on ego. I was like OK, something is not quite right to me. I have never taken any psychedelics but yet I have some integrity and trying to be honest. I can preach about God and Infinite Love all day, but if my actions does not consistent with my words, all my preaching will fly out the window and be discredited. SO....do you really know what they are talking about? That is the question.

As Ramana would say : "Why not?"

With Deepak Chopra, Sting and many others. “HAVE A GOOD TRIP: ADVENTURES IN PSYCHEDELICS is a documentary featuring comedic tripping stories from A-list actors, comedians, and musicians. Star-studded reenactments and trippy animations bring their surreal hallucinations to life.”

And by all means tag me when some major insight from the book...I might re-read it again. ?

Nice catch, thank you for pointing me in a right direction I need you to remind me about this when I "fall asleep" again, ok?

You do not want the Truth? If I am super honest, I want it but I feel like I always postpone it for the future, like right now I am not ready, not perfect timing, career, family, education. Maybe when I am 50, LOL.

Nah. flirty...yes...condescending...no! So your first language is German, nice. I love Germany, been there three times, my fav city is Munich.

I remember reading about this from George Gurdjieff, he was describing machine-like nature of the human being, I remember he claimed that we had literally thousands of "I", there were no separate "I" which were in charge. Also, "I" is not constant and always evolving, therefore, we can conclude that there is no such thing as separate, constant "I" due to the dynamic nature of "I". Yep, somehow we have to learn how to teeter on the edge of the chasm and not completely fall down into Duality. Though if you want it more than anything, I believe your ego will never allow you to do so. As one person said to me "Ego can survive on the very high frequencies". So read the book and do not worry

Yeah, we studied it when took Marketing back in 2006. Actually marketing is a part of the supply chain. Please do, I love this stuff.

That is exactly where we want to be, right? Better to not know. I am completely lost now and I love it. One people here say that objective world is not real and does not exist, another claim different thing. One loves to take psychedelics, another one hates it, etc.

Well, I read the book, but no major shift has happened, donno about you, though. Do not be scared, we are here to support you. What is the biggest fear do you have? What are you scared about if you get this realization one day?

How cool, always dreamt to study Psychology and Neuroscience, but ended up with Marketing, now studying Supply Chain. Tag me when find something interesting, for sure I am not in position to talk about Psychology with you since you a subject matter expert. To be honest I was introduced to this term by my ex-psychotherapist, then I've heard about it and then read about it. However, I have a surface and shallow knowledge about it. You probably know way better than me.

When you mean too much, what are you referring to?

this phrase made me laugh hard. I love you guys! Always knew that mingling with smart guys way more productive for my development. Therefore, I love having guy friends a lot. No drama and always a sympathy....

I might tag you with something else in the future, if I stumble across it, how is the book? are you reading it?
