Is Red Pill Bullshit ?
Is Red Pill Bullshit ?Even the most toxic ideology like Nazism will have grains of truth to it. That's precisely how the devil uses it to lure you in.
Delusion is never 100% falsehood. It's falsehood mixed with just enough truth to make the two indistinguishable in the minds of the selfish and the ignorant.

I deeply regret having done spirituality withouth doing basic survival stuff
I deeply regret having done spirituality withouth doing basic survival stuffAnd that will be a trap that a lot more people here fall into. Because my work does not cover survival aspects of personal dev as much as most of you need.
You have to understand that my work is very advanced. It is not a complete teaching that takes you from A to Z. It takes you from L to Z. The A to L part you must figure out elsewhere.

Not intended Ego Death: 175 µg 1cp-LSD trip report
Not intended Ego Death: 175 µg 1cp-LSD trip reportThe report already is so long, i skip to the beginning of the peak experience.
I was at home. I felt sensory overload in the living room, even though it was pretty quiet. That's when I started to feel insecure, and I kept thinking that a disaster was about to happen. Then I went to my room and went to bed with my twin brother (my closest caregiver).
I started to feel more and more anxious and realized that only my brother and my girlfriend could give me security. Layers of my identity as Jonas (my name is Jonas) also became clear to me, especially in terms of how much security which gives me. For example, my landlady and aunt weren't that important, then all of my close friends came along, everyone who was also in my apartment and a few others. And the innermost layer was my brother and my girlfriend. I knew that she couldn't be here now, so i focused on my brother and held onto him. All along he said that everything is fine and that I don't need to be afraid. I really noticed how each layer slipped through my fingers and I was always holding onto the next layer. I still knew that I had "only" taken one drug. Still, I started to cry with fear. I also asked for a trip killer, so two of my friends went out to get one. My brother kept trying to calm me down. At this point it helped that I had dealt with things like the illusion of the ego, ego death, psychedelic experiences, and spirituality before. Because at some point I realized that if the ego was really an illusion, and it was dissolving because of the 1cp-LSD, it would probably feel just like my state, namely that the individual layers were crumbling and I always clung to the next layer and that the ego creates another fear in me with every shift. It felt like I saw through my ego.
At some point I realized the real power of letting go and I was able to stop clinging to my brother. I realized that I can just surrender to any fear and that the only way to escape a fear is to really let go and face that fear. It became clear to me that every living being sets its own limits, but unfortunately mostly unconsciously, which is why you cannot easily recognize and overcome this limit. When I was able to let go of everything, values like having a lot of money and little money were just as important as wanting to live and not wanting to live. Life seems more important to us than money only because living is a more important part of one's identity than having money. Our consciousness has nothing to do with being a human being, it is completely independent of it. It felt as if my previous life was only there to experience this moment at some point and that I was now pulled out of my ego to the Absolute Truth, namely that everything is one, reality is non-dual and completely infinite. I felt free from all limits that could ever exist, I felt infinite, I felt the unity of reality and the non-duality of the whole universe. This was a state of extreme bliss as I realize that all fears were only fictional and meaningless. I had something like the attached image in mind, just without the person, but the pattern around it was similar.
I now understood why dualities like life and death, everything and nothing, flow together in the largest possible picture. Even logic and time are just limits of your own mind. I felt pure existence, every moment was eternal, my consciousness was nothing but perception. I had lost track of time. I was a single singularity, all dreams, desires, fears, emotions of all people. At that point, I didn't want the trip killer anymore either. It was a wonderful miracle. I cried with joy.
The following words kept coming into my head over an over again:
- Being. Just being.
- Existence
- Love
- Non-duality
- Moment (i realized that only the present exists)
- Consciousness.
I recognized the infinite power of letting go, every possible suffering could simply be let go, but of course not in low states of consciousness like that of everyday human life. I said several times things like “trust me”, “let go”, “don't hold on”, “listen to yourself”, “go seek inside yourself” and “let it go”. I wanted to advise everyone in the world to use these words. I also understood the importance of inner calm and the search for the real self in the world.
I saw that love and hate were inextricably intertwined. It was at this point that I also understood karma. Everything we do to others, we experience ourselves at some point, everything we do for others, we do for ourselves. I constantly had images of intertwined strange loops in my mind.
I saw existence as a strange loop.
Anything I would take would be taken from me in another life. I understood why all people were blind to this absolute truth and why no one could logically convince anyone of it. It was as if I had grasped the absolute meaning of existence.
I had realized that the unified consciousness of the universe had created itself for the purpose of existence. The positives and negatives didn't matter. I should experience every other life, infinitely often and infinitely long. However, I didn't know how my experience was going to continue.
Miss-interpretation of reality
After my peak experience, I woke up in the "real" world. I thought that I was now in a world where everyone else who was there knew what I knew. One of the reasons for this was that when I was walking around, I just dropped to the floor and was only caught because my friends looked after me so well. I thought the universe would reward my letting go by being caught by my friends. Every time I let myself down, I was caught by the others. When the others spoke, everything they said only confirmed what I had just experienced. I thought I (the consciousness of the universe) had created everything myself, every music, every smell, every color, every voice. There was nothing but perception. Everything was just beautiful in its perfection. I realized that life was a movie that I watched with my friends and everyone else. I knew I would go through someone else's life one day. I thought my friends knew what I was experiencing because I interpreted some statements as follows:
- "That's a nice head" (he meant the hookah). I thought he meant that as a metaphor for the wonder of existence
- "Now he probably doesn't want to take the trip killer anymore" I thought he meant that after I had learned this truth of the universe, I now know that I no longer need to be afraid of it
- "But that took a long time" (he probably meant the duration of my mental absence from his point of view during the peak) I thought he meant that it took my whole life to come to this insight.
- One line in a song read “and all that counts, is here and now”. I thought this was related to only the present existing and just to focus on
- "You could almost make a meme out of it." I thought he meant the feeling when you first live my experience.
- I asked my brother and a friend how I should have known all of this, and that at some point I will be totally scared (because I would probably experience it again in my next life, at the latest when I die). I don't remember the answer, but I still interpreted it in such a way that they both knew what I was talking about.
I thought that from now on I would be in a reality in which my fellow human beings know the nature of the existence of everything. Later that evening, when a slight feeling of sobriety returned, I thought I was now in a kind of paradise where I could shape my life as I wanted. However, anything that I took positively would fall back on me negatively in another life. I didn't know whether to offer my help to my friends in order to improve my karma. I was confused what to do and whether I would really live in paradise, because I felt like Jonas again, who would like to see his girlfriend, even though the fear of never seeing her again was actually only imaginary. However, I really thought I was in a different reality. That was also because when we sat on a bench outside, the skyline of Nuremberg (in Germany) looked completely different from what I was used to. But that was still due to the remains of the 1cp-LSD. Since my brother said I would feel better in the morning, I didn't know what to expect when I went to sleep. At that point in time, I wanted to go back to my "old" life. I tried to get myself off the trip through low-consciousness stuff like watching a live stream and playing a mobile game. That's why I took the trip killer, also to be able to sleep, although I was still afraid of what would happen if I disappeared from this “paradise” due to the trip killer. I went to sleep at some point and the next morning I felt exhausted and confused, but sober again. I went back to the bench from yesterday evening and was glad that everything looked the way I knew it.
Conclusion
I never thought that such a dose would trigger such an incredible experience and would definitely have taken less if I had known. I was not prepared for that, i've taken 150 µg before and it was like 100 times weaker. The ego death was not intended. That was probably the most profound experience of my life. How do I properly integrate such an experience?
Thanks for reading :).

Spiral Dynamics Stage Red Examples Mega-Thread
Spiral Dynamics Stage Red Examples Mega-ThreadMein Kampf is a terrible source because you're reading his own ego-mind's rationalizations.
It's silly to expect Hitler to give you a honest and accurate analysis of his own motives and biases.
He absolutely did.
Where did all his ideas come from? He certainly didn't invent them. They were in vogue his era. No human mind naturally comes out as Hitler's did. That kind of worldview only comes from deep indoctrination and cultural programming. Frustrated with his personal life, Hitler found succor in radical right-wing ideologies which were popular at the time. He turned his life's purpose into fighting his own shadow. He chose the lesser vs the Greater Jihad. And of course he would not admit this to you if you asked him because he was unconscious of these ego dynamics.
The goal of world domination was just part of his indoctrination in ultra right-wing nationalism which believed that Germans are the best ethnicity and their proper place is to rule over all the others.
His project to exterminate the Jews was even more important to him than world domination. Hitler diverted a lot of energy way from fighting WWII towards exterminating Jews. If Hitler hasn't been so obsessed with exterminating Jews, he might have actually won the war.
My analysis is anything but surfacy.

Problems after direct experience
Problems after direct experienceAs your mind develops and your consciousness expands you will have to take on the burden of realigning every aspect of your life with a higher vision and purpose. This includes your career/biz, your relationships, sex, how you interact with people, your diet, etc.
That's what makes this work so challenging and rarely done. Upgrading all that stuff is hard. No one is gonna hold your hand through it. You must learn to lead yourself.

Fed up of working on myself
Fed up of working on myselfLosing weight is so easy. All you have to do is stop eating carbs and only eat 75% the size of your typical meals so your stomach remains not full. Walk around with a slightly hungry stomach. And just keep doing that every day for a few months. Just get used to that empty stomach feelings.
That's it. Simple. Going to the gym is hardly necessary.
Cleaning up your diet is priority #1. No junk, no sugar, no wheat, no grains, no rice, no corn, no potatoes, no sweet drinks of any kind. If you are strict on that, you will lose weight effortlessly and never have to worry about yo-yoing or putting it back on.

Slow Carb Diet
Slow Carb DietHere's an even better diet:
Only carbs from non-starchy vegetables and low/med-sugar fruits like blueberries, apples, oranges, etc. No bean, no lintels, no corn, no rice, no wheat, no oats. Have 3 recipes you cycle so you don't get bored. Don't drink calories other than low-sugar veggie juices like tomato, celery, cucumber, etc. Liberal use of high quality oils like olive, avocado, coconut. Lots of lean protein like chicken or turkey. Or eggs if you tolerate them. No cheat days.

How can you realize infinity and forget it?
How can you realize infinity and forget it?No, this is still duality.
When you fully awaken, you will realize that I am literally looking through your eyes right now because I am you. I have been looking through your eyes your entire life.
There are no other bubbles other than in your imagination. You are dreaming up "other".
No. When you die, you will realize the entire universe was just something you dreamed up. The whole universe and mankind and everyone you knew will die with you. Nothing will remain. Just like before you were born, nothing existed. The universe is your dream.
You are God suffering from multiple personality disorder. Your mind is fractured by notions of "other" which you are hallucinating in order to make yourself feel not-alone.
-
How can you realize infinity and forget it?
How can you realize infinity and forget it?It's very simple. It all hinges on your state of consciousness.
It's not that Infinity is forgotten. Infinity is a state of consciousness. You cannot access Infinity without the proper state no matter how much you think or remember.
Duality is a state of consciousness.

Working in something you don't like + LP
Working in something you don't like + LPI slept normally, about 8 hrs.
I just didn't have much of a social or family life.
I didn't do it for long. It took me about 6 months to become financially independent and quit my day job. But this is unusually fast. In many ways I got lucky. Most people won't be able to pull that off. But I was very creative and ambitious.
If you are creative, strategic, ambitious, and manipulative enough, you can achieve amazing results rather quickly. Although that does take a toll on your soul.

Why should I be good to others?
Why should I be good to others?If there was a reason for being good, then it wouldn't be good. Contemplate it.
For good to be good, it must be done for its own sake. Selflessly. Which is why Good = selflessness. If you are trying to do good for a reason, that is selfishness, and that is evil.

Working in something you don't like + LP
Working in something you don't like + LPIn practice it's a viable and even necessary strategy for many people because you gotta eat.
But the real solution in this case is to basically work twice as hard to claw your way out of wage slavery.
So during the day you work to pay your bills.
And during the nights and weekends you work to build your future career/biz.
That's how I did it. It's difficult, but totally worth it if your body can handle it.

In which way do Jim Newman/Tony Parsons and Rupert Spira talk about the same thing?
In which way do Jim Newman/Tony Parsons and Rupert Spira talk about the same thing?There is no contradiction in saying that you can and that you cannot bring about enlightenment.
It works just like fishing. Can you bring about a fish from a lake? Not directly. You cannot ever know when the fish will bite.
But you would be a total fool to take that to mean that there is no skill to fishing. The difference in how much fish a skilled fisherman will catch vs one who is just randomly throwing hooks in the water is about 10,000%
Moreover, the Neo-Advaitan claim is just strictly false because I can consistently bring about enlightenment via 5-MeO-DMT in 15 minutes every single time, any time I want. So the idea that nothing can be done to bring about enlightenment is simply false. Furthermore, the idea that ego cannot take action that will bring about enlightenment is also simply false. You can easily disprove both these claims for yourself with psychedelics. And of course it doesn't stop with psychedelics. You can also do it with meditation, concentration, yoga, visualization, prayer, mantras, etc.
The idea that spiritual practices do not bring about awakening is just absurd and counter to common sense because spiritual techniques would not exists unless they were effective for some people.
And the greatest absurdity of the entire Neo-Advaitan position is the most canonical enlightenment of all time: The Buddha. The Buddha used his ego to generate his enlightenment by forcing himself to sit under the fucking tree.
So the next time a Neo-Advaitan tells you it's impossible to create enlightenment, tell them: But what about the Buddha? And then watch them begin their mental gymnastics.
The idea that the Buddha would have become enlightened without doing his 7 years of hardcore practice is laughable.
Ego plays a crucial role in bootstrapping enlightenment. Without the proper ego, there will be no enlightenment.

Anti-depressants thought to be placebo?
Anti-depressants thought to be placebo?1) My claim that they were worse than placebo had more to do with their negative side-effects, not their lack of positive effects. My point was that in the NET they are not worth it. I do think they produce some positive side-effects that you will not get with mere placebo since they alter brain chemistry similar to a psychedelic.
2) There are many conflicting studies because this is a complex issue. Some studies show that stuff like exercise and other basic practices are as effective if not more effective than anti-depressants. But also, people react to anti-depressants very differently, so it is a great mistake to speak of these drugs in the aggregate, The only thing that ultimately matters is how they affect you personally. For some people it will be helpful and for others it will not. The problem is that these studies do not look at individuals but aggregate data.
Overall, I don't think anti-depressants will solve any fundamental problem. The vast majority of people who take anti-depressants do so because they are clueless of their true effects and because they have no idea that their depression is caused by other root factors which anti-depressants will not correct, only making things worse. And doctors mainly prescribe them because they have no idea of how human psychology or consciousness works and they are corrupted by Big Pharma money. The whole thing is a fucking disaster and a tragedy of ignorance.
Also take into account that many of these studies are corrupted by Big Pharma money and agendas, so they cannot be taken at face value. And they do not properly account for negative side-effects or alternative holistic treatments.

In which way do Jim Newman/Tony Parsons and Rupert Spira talk about the same thing?
In which way do Jim Newman/Tony Parsons and Rupert Spira talk about the same thing?I don't debate people. There is nothing to debate. Truth is never a matter of debate.
Do the practices, or don't.
That's basically the do-nothing technique. It's a good technique. But you won't reach the highest levels of consciousness with it. Not unless you're supernaturally gifted from birth with special brain chemistry.
The present moment is not all there is. You need to change your state of consciousness. Your present state of consciousness NOT God-consciousness.
Your state of consciousness is absolutely crucial.
There is a million things more to consciousness than sitting and being present.

In which way do Jim Newman/Tony Parsons and Rupert Spira talk about the same thing?There are many degrees of this giftedness.
I certainly have some degree of it, but there are people who have it 100x more than me.
I would say that I am mildly gifted. My mind is gifted with extraordinary intuition, holistic intelligence, and wisdom. This has basically always been the case for me. It is not something I worked to achieve. Although my inner work cranked it up to 11. But I am not gifted in the same way that psychics, healers, and yogis are.

We are in god's mind and it looks like this
We are in god's mind and it looks like thisI am interested in both.
You can have an ego-death but still not be conscious of God.
Usually ego-death comes as the result of high consciousness, but that doesn't mean it is the highest level of consciousness. There is much to become conscious of beyond ego-death.
It seems to be a lot easier to reach ego-death than consciousness of God. And then there are many degrees of depth of God consciousness. The first few levels are pretty shallow. It takes many awakenings to get to the really deep levels, where you finally start to understand what God is, why it is, how it is, what it's doing, what it wants, etc.

I have awoken.
I have awoken.Today, I had the most intense awakening of my life. It was the most beautiful, integrating, loving, and awesome experience I’ve ever had.
It happened spontaneously as I was walking around trees, and wondered, is my “brain” generating this experience of colors, sounds, shapes, OR the colors, sounds, and shapes are just existing by themselves as perceptions without a perceiver.
My awareness completely changed and felt a Union with the world around me. It felt like in an instant, I was purified by pure light.
Reality is a self feeding loop of consciousness that is never ending, non-localized/omnipresent. The stuff you are seeing around you is not matter, but complete magic or being. The perceptions you thought are generated in your brain are actually just existing in empty space. The color green, is existing without a perceiver. It’s just existing for itself. And the reason YOU are able to “see it” is because you are the entire field of consciousness.
Imagine that you are a big circle with a *little piece* cut off. Your point of view is THAT. You’re like the escape valve / exit of a cycle of consciousness.
There is literally *nothing* behind your visual field.
You’re a divine, infinite being with no bounds or limits.
You just happened to like this view. ?
OK SO WHAT?
My relationship to reality has completely changed. This is empowering, to say the least. It’s nothing to brag, or boast about out of context, it’s simply accepting the magic / mystical nature of reality, and merging with it.
Consciousness, eternal mind, exchanging frequencies between polarities, forever.
Love.

why not just becoming a monk ?
why not just becoming a monk ?This is a very simplistic and reductionistic perspective.
You transcend the mind and body, but the mind and body is still a huge part of your human incarnation.
Not taking care of your body and mind, being addicted, being broke -- these things will strengthen ego and make you miserable.
At your current stage -- which I can tell isn't very high -- I would worry less about transcendence and more about mastering basic survival, so you are a fully-functioning and mature ego.
Then you can shift focus to transcendence. You will simply not be capable of transcending if your ego is underdeveloped.
