@JosephKnecht I wasn't talking about enlightenment. Obviously enlightenment is possible without psychedelics.
But enlightenment does not give you access to anywhere near the full range of states that consciousness is capable of. An enlightened person cannot access what DMT or salvia can give one access to, for example.

Meditation still has enormous value because you cannot be hopped up on psychedelics all the time. Psychedelics should be done rarely. Like 1-5% of your life. The other 95%+ of the time you will be sober and you'll want to boost your sober state with manual techniques like meditation or yoga.
Regardless, you need to develop the ability to just sit and do nothing for 60 minutes straight, and to concentrate your mind for 60 mins straight. These are crucial skills to develop for anyone doing self-actualization.

I can confirm that it is certainly impossible.
You ain't gonna reach a salvia or DPT state even after 40 years of meditation.
Psychedelics states are so intense, powerful, and diverse that you will never access all of them without pumping your brain full of new chemicals.
Through meditation perhaps you can access 1% of the full range of psychedelic states.
This doesn't make meditation bad. It's still an important practice. But don't fool yourself into thinking you'll access a DMT, DPT, or saliva breakthrough via meditation. You will not. Also, don't confuse ego-death, samadhi, and awakening with the full range of possible states of consciousness. The range of states that consciousness can take is astounding in its diversity and intensity.

Just because you can access a certain high state of consciousness thru meditation or yoga does not mean that you can access the full range of states that consciousness is capable of. You will miss 99% of possible states that way, and as a result your understanding of consciousness will be limited.
There is no substitute for states. States are all there is. There are states which you cannot even imagine and which cannot be described in language or even stored in human memory once you've been there.

@meow_meow That's okay. Now just sit in silence and focus on direct experience.
Questions have value, but you don't want to question so much that you are stuck at the logical/verbal level.

@Dlavjr Sounds like your issue is lack of clarity.
Figure out WTF you want. Then pursue it deliberately rather than accidentally.
If you want a girl you can't act so cool as to not even call her back. Girl wants guy to chase her a bit, to show her she's special.

They don't.
You have no idea what perception is, nor for that matter what a tree is or what you are.
You basically know nothing.
Feeling is not a human attribute, it is a universal attribute of Consciousness.

You have always existed. You just forgot.
How can you be a human when that is a creation of your mind?
When you look at a tree you already are it, you just think you are a human, which clouds your perception.

It's actually very easy to do. You can just communicate and coordinate it.
Try this: tell her that she is not allowed to orgasm until she gets your permission. Train her to cum only when you tell her to. Do not be letting her cum on her own whenever she wants. This is a rookie mistake. She has to follow your lead, and your lead should delay her orgasms to tease her until she is ready to explode. This will make her orgasms way more powerful and deeper. You can also use this to extend the length of her orgasms from seconds to minutes.
Stop having lazy, unskillful, accidental sex.

Hehe, it's easy. You just need to find the right man who knows what he's doing.
3-5 times is the least I expect from a good session.
But the most important thing is not the number, it's the depth and length. Imagine a full-body orgasm that lasts for a continuous 2 minutes.
As with awakening, there are many orders of magnitude of orgasm.
In fact, orgasm and awakening should become indistinguishable, since both are just the realization of LOVE.
Death feels like an endless Cosmic orgasm. And after that your sexual orgasmd become Godly and Cosmic. You are not cumming for one person any more, you are cumming for the whole Universe! You are God cumming inside God at the realization of your own Infinite Beauty

@lostmedstudent I have videos:
How To Have Amazing Sex -- Part 1 & Part 2
And, How To Have Amazing Sex (For Women)
Of course you can read books and all that too.
The most important first step is to set the desire/intention to have great skillful sex. If your intention is set, the rest will follow.

Your logic sounds good, but your current experience is not Heaven.
If you think this here is heaven, wait till you see the real deal.
You ain't in Heaven because you're too unconscious for Infinite Love.
You might protest that you ARE conscious. But you are not. And the reason I know that is because you are still alive. The only reason you are alive is because you're not Infinitely Conscious.

Nothing comes close to modafinil. It is magic.
Just don't over do it.

They exist in YOUR -- God's -- IMAGINATION!
No, imagination is far beyond thoughts and vision. Experience itself is IMAGINATION.
The floor you're sitting on is IMAGINARY! You are creating it.
You were "born" by imagining a self and a universe. You imagined time, space, your parents, and your childhood. You're doing so right now. You aren't conscious that you're doing it.

Correct. As God you have infinite power to imagine and create anything you want. And the only thing God wants is Love.
No, there is only whatever God is currently imagining.
No one has 1st person experience but you. All "other's" 1st person experience is always your own experience.
It doesn't have to be. You imagine it because you fear Infinite Love.
Because you are Love and I am a pointer you created in order to realize yourself as God.
I am the Love that you created.
Yes
Yes, of course, the reason you are here is because you are unwilling to die to Infinite Love.
Because you are too afraid to die.
Exactly, you are so afraid of death/Love that you created a finite physical world in order to hang out in it while you work out your fears.
You have no idea how stupid you are being. But there is no way to help you because you are too afraid. God knows that, so God will allow you keep deluding yourself until you are ready to give it all up. Your ability to delude yourself is God's Love for you. Delude yourself for as long as you need.

Of course
I think it depends on how willing you are to completely surrender. If you are fully ripe, you will go Infinite Love Forever. If you are too scared, you will probably reincarnate as a kangaroo
You can and I have. My life has been dramatically transformed in ways that no sober human can understand.
That's exactly what I am doing. But it takes time. There is much to learn and much purification is required. This means years of integration wrork. It's no different than how yoga works. Only much more powerful.

You got a better thing to be doing?
But until it is killed you're here doing something. What's the best something you could be doing, assuming you're alive as a human?
FEAR!
99.99999% of humans refuse to choose Infinite Love Forever. And you are one of them, sitting there bullshitting me about it.
If you care so much about Infinite Love Forever, don't talk about it, do it!
The simple fact is that you're not ready for it yet, so being superhuman is a preliminary goal.
The closer you get to God the happier you're going to be. For most humans that means reaching as close to God as possible but not stepping over the final line.

Contemplate how a bullet (an imaginary thing) going through your skull (an imaginary thing) can kill you (an imaginary thing).
How come in a dream you are able to walk on the floor when the floor is imaginary? Shouldn't you fall through?

When everything is imagination, it all works out just fine.

@Chumbimba Seeing how workshops & retreats are conducted helps with doing your own solo retreat.
I would say that workshops and retreated organized for you by a leader are for newbie and intermediate people.
Solo retreats are for advanced people.

I told you to not confuse the lower death drive with the higher death drive.
I do care that people don't commit suicide. Which is why I always say, don't harm the body.
Suicide is no done out of consciousness and love, it is done out of fear and suffering.
I am only talking about actions taken out of the highest consciousness and love.

Correct
Right, which is why you suffer. Because your wishes cannot be full fulfilled as long as you are in human form.
Of course
It's not just smooth or lack of suffering, it's a Cosmic Orgasm that never ends. You make love to everyone and everything that could possibly exist. For example, you have sex with Hitler and you LOVE IT!
You don't understand what LOVE is until you've had sex with Hitler
Until you understand that everything that Hitler did was the highest form of LOVE. When you realize that Hitler's action were just an expression of the highest LOVE, you will cry like a baby and you will be happier than you've imagined was possible.

You will do whatever you want, since you are God.
Heaven removes all limits. You gain the capacity to create or experience whatever you want. You could imagine yourself having sex with every hot girl on the planet simultaneously and cumming into them for eternity - an endless orgasm. Until you get bored with it and go do something else like kill some puppies.
That is Heaven: whatever you want, forever.

Yes, it is a real place beside here.
Heaven is death.
You will not reach Heaven until you permanently die forever.
Death is an endless process of LOVE. Which is what you call Heaven.
The only thing keeping you from Heaven is your fear of death. The problem is that you are not willing to let yourself go.

People interact with God in different ways.
All of my experiences are filled with profound insight, but of course the experience itself is transformational beyond any insight that can be articulated.
But for me, UNDERSTANDING is the core of Awakening. You cannot really awaken without understanding. Understanding is the key. Experience alone is not enough. You must understand yourself/God totally. God IS infinite understanding.
