tentacion

Hello So i'm planning to snort pure mdma for the first time in my life in the next couple of days. What kind of experiences or realizations can I expect from this? Someone who have tried it? What are your experiences?

Thanks guys I will do it with my bestfriend and cousin so should be a good experience. I hope to experience unconditional love or divine/universal love as that could transform me and my limited perception of what "another" really is. I don't expect it but that is my intention, we will see where it goes.

Language is created to simplify life. Can there be toughts without language? It's solely a human invention and we use it to describe reality and ourselves taking it to be the actual reality, in truth it is not. Toughts help navigate life but cannot give an apsolute correct interpretation of what reality is, what I am, what another is. What we call reality are toughts (the mind), this is a very important realization. Beyond the mind lies emptiness, stillness, and nothingness, the true nature of reality. The mind is empty and there is no more interpretation of what reality is, you become it. And this is what the ego is afraid of, emptiness. Because it goes beyond toughts and language. Beyond illusion and delusion, which is basically all we have been taught, basically what all toughts are other than navigating life.

For example, let's take the object computer. The term computer is created in the mind, that it has this or that color, that it has this or that shape, that it has something inside it like atoms etc, all of this is created in the mind just like language and concepts are created in the mind. But what actually is it existantially? The actual thing in itself? From our direct experience we can't really know, unless maybe if you snort 5-meo. All there is is a seeing of this ''object'' and you can also touch it and feel that you have touched it, that's pretty much it. The rest is the mind. It's not a computer, you are just seeing something which appear in your experience. You are touching something which appear in your experience. Even saying that it is ''something'' is created in the mind, actually there is just seeing and touching. We can't know or understand using the mind what this something actually IS. Saying that it is this or that is a creation of the mind, no matter if you say it's nothingness or God or infinity or a computer. There is just seeing, and everything just is or at least appears to be in your experience. It can't be what your mind says it is because that's all language and concepts used to navigate life and simplifying it, the mind cannot know existantially what anything truly is and therefore Kant's conclusion that the thing in itself remains forever unknowable.

Yeah it is insane and a mind fuck haha. I want to give more emphasis to this. I would say that we ''know'' only our direct personal experience. There is a distinction between actual reality and how the mind perceives and constructs it. The mind is there to navigate life not to understand or know reality. All we do is experience what is, we do not really ''know'' anything. Immanuel Kant said that reality is all in the mind, and he drew ''a clear distinction between our perception of reality AND the actual object of perception. His key insight was the realization that all we ever know are the structures generated in our minds; the world that gives rise to this perception, what he termed "the thing-in-itself", remains forever unknowable.'' All we can ever know, according to Kant, is how reality appears to us.

All we know is that it is. Everything else is the mind, conceptual reality, language reality. Any attempt to try and understand reality trough the mind or reason is delusion. Only the Apsolute or God knows why and how. Maybe only on breaktrough doses of psychedelics can you understand some part of reality and even then you have to be very careful of how you interpret the experience and what it really means.

It goes like this from wikipedia: ''Whatever begins to exist has a cause; The universe began to exist; Therefore: The universe has a cause. The universe has a cause; If the universe has a cause, then an uncaused, personal Creator of the universe exists who sans the universe is beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless and enormously powerful. I'm not sure what to believe of it haha. What are your toughts? Is it sound, why and why not?

Thoughts?

Something right happened, that is why you are you and I am me, and at the same time we are One and the Same.

I know that I know nothing is the fist step to wisdom. I have tried to eliminate all my beliefs, one by one they are all seen to be illusions. Actually, generally speaking, I know nothing.

All experiences are through chemical change, without any exception. Whether you take LSD or you meditate, in both ways the brain goes through chemical change. So does it follow then that the brain is what creates reality? Because without change in the brain you will not see reality differently. It is only when there is change in brain chemistry. There are of course other possibilities. I'm interested in your opinion.

I like that analogy. On a side note, I don't believe in materialism. I have taken LSD and I know reality is beyond materialism. Furthermore, I don't believe that the brain alone creates reality, but maybe to some degree.

''Life is eternal. Once you have it, you have it forever. Life knows no death. Life is not afraid of death. Once you know what life is, death disappears. If you are still afraid of death, know well – you have not known life yet.'' - Osho

So I have been reading the Vedanta for a couple of days which proclaims that you are God or Brahman. I'm wondering, what does this actually mean? Does God exist seperate from us or is God us? If he is us, how did he become us? How can I be God? I have also heard Leo saying the same thing, and other people as well. But I can't seem to fully understand it.

In my opinion we should trust those who are above us in knowledge and experience (mystics and sages) who all agree that you cannot die, that you are eternal. Of course to be truly certain about it, one has to experience it for himself/herself. You don't believe in an afterlife after that, you know it.

I have ordered that book, tnx. Looks very profound and direct.

I want to read some good books, books on existence, reality, God, spirituality. I have only read the Power of now. Any recommendation? Tnx in advance.
