SoonHei

@MrDmitriiV hey i just tried this. during my lunch break at work lol i was in our meditation room which we have at work. so it was a quite place. did the technique as you said it. felt maybe a tinest bit of lightness when the did the 10th breath step.. but no blackness came upon me... does one have to do this a few times to maybe get it right? or maybe i messed up on something? how important is the duration of the breaths... down to the T to be exact for this to work? asking as i want to attempt again and want it to work. thnx and about this. so let's say it starts coming over me at the 10th second mark of me holding my breath. do i continue to hold the breath at this point or can i start slowly breathing out?

hmmmm does it have any insights or any other profound realizations with it also? or is it just the state of that blackness and witnessing it briefly?

@Feel Good thanks ::)

@Feel Good i know the experiences are ineffable... but do attempt to describe yours and how it came about. thanks how you felt after - was it scary? the integration process after etc...

You think that was YOU who made the"choice" about whether to click this Topic or not? Silly. It's just silly Bless up <3

consiouness creates reality... when you observe it, you collapse the wave function down to the the 1 of the two slits it will go thru without any interference pattern. the act of observing collapses it. and when we are not observing which slit it goes in from, it acts as a wave creating the interference pattern - showing all probabilities that could exist... also. our expectation about how objects/particles should behave is also part of it. when viewing the single particle, we expect it to act like a solid ball and that's what it does.

watching the breath means what exactly? being aware/consciousness of it? counting the breath (1 on the intake, 2 on the outblow, 3 on the intake... so on) thank you

muhfukkin Leo <3 puts it down in perspective like no other, but it hits its mark hard. bless

Woahhhhh Looks like you were having a good time there hahhaa Thank you for that And yes, I do ask questions as they come to me and many times get a right heading as to where to go n how to approach it. That contemplation sounds like a good plan with a little dose of the Mary Jane Bless up. Thnx.

I had this thought and I feel it is very likely... although cannot be proved (until we do so ourselves) What if upon taking 5-MeO, once the taker of the drug has the breakthrough then "he/she" has the choice as to which reality (as created by themselves of-course) they want to return back to. Now here's the key, that person will still return back to the reality in which they took the 5-MeO (because all possibilities exist) but that particular body-mind consciousness of the person who took the DMT would be in that new reality. Say LeoE1 (earth1) takes 5-MeO and has the breakthrough. Upon the time when one "returns" back to the illusory world, LeoE1 goes to the parallell reality of earth2 in which let's say he is able to levitate objects with his thought using his new discovered understanding which gives him higher control of the contents of his reality and how to manipulate them easily at will like one can do so easily in a lucid dream. now on earth1, the people of earth1 still see the body-mind of LeoE1 who took the DMT and of course something must hapeen to that Leo too. so, he too will return back (as we can see Leo in our current reality) but his abilities and all that dont really change here because that is not the case in our reality... for LeoE1 in his new reality on earth2, he is able to do all that (we are not seeing that as that's a different reality) in our reality the Leo who returns describes his breakthrough etc and then says how he returned here we know there are infinte possiblities so after taking 5meo lets say, the current "body-mind" consiouness that u have, that one goes to a better and good version of a reality (if she/he chooses to return) and the reality in which the 5meo was taken cant have a hole and a leo returns in that too, but it's not the same body-mind leoE1 anymore.. it's a different one so yeah... maybe that allows for reality jumping.. and well in essence, each passing NOW moment, we are transitioning between one reality to another.. infinte realities / second or whatever... but this reality jump we do, is in line with our expectations and understandings and beliefs about how things work, laws of physiscs etc... our beliefs and understanding define reality, remerber! bless up

in a positive way? like happily being in the NOW and allowing all that occurs, no resistance?

when one reaches breakthrough or has an awakening, what does it mean that it is the end of all questions ? is that what is meant by God being all-knowing? all-knowing such that there are no questions left to be asked and all is understood? and secondly, does one who reaches this God consciousness level or simply put - (as there is no "one" who reaches the level) from a God Consciousness level, is past, present, future seen all at once in the sense that it is known what will/has happened/happening , somehow all magically simultaneously?

This. Good question. Now someone please answer lol 8( I need to know also

Ur right "Infinite in Infinite dimensions" That covers the whole of reality I'd say.

hmmm yes, ur right i feel that it might be this way. that BECAUSE of the fact i have the EGO in me still. thats why i crashed had i been enlightened, i would not take it personally and thereby allow/accept it maybe if somehow, someway, i consiously make the effort to allow and just watch closely that i dont burst out later can, in the long run, help the situation.. but i cant help but think that the other person then may take advantage of ur kidness / accpetance (may again this is again the EGo thought, but thats the whole dilemma lol) thanks @Big Guru Balls and nice name lol

So for someone like me, who is far from enligthenment, does it make sense if i am embodying the concepts without experieintial understanding of them? for example, acceptance of what is once enlgihtened, the being which remains, its default nature is to allow and accept all. unconditional love right now, say if i am faced with an "unfavorable" situation to my current ego-self... i am getting angry about it and what to change it or do something about it.. does it make sense to me in the long run to just allow it as it is.. as if i were enlightned so to speak.. so just embodying being a self which is calm and does not get angry... or would that be counter-productive... i think i have had this experieince... something came up which i did not like that a friend was doing .. and i just told myself to be calm, take a deep breath and allow it to be.. dont try to change the moment or sitation.. i kept doing this and it back-fired in the sense that since i continued to allow and accept the "bad behaviour" (lets call it that without going into the detail of what it is) my friend continued to do it as he thought "this guy is okay with it, or doesnt mind.. or say anything about it.. " so there came a point where i had been shunning away the angry and staying calm to allow/accept what is.. and then it all came down crashing at once.. the lid of the pressure cooker popped and i had an angry confrontation episode.. so should i have continued to carry to allow and accept? by embodying and staying calm.. or does that only really work if one has a deeper understanding of it (aka enlightneed or even had glimpses or deeper relazations) i guess this is what's called the ego coming back, and coming back strongly since it has been shunned please advise as to how to pursue it... maybe avoid that friend or miniminze contact... or just put on a smile and dont let the anger bubble up.. try and consiounessly overcome my ego and allow and just somehow blindly believe that by staying positive about it, i will attract positive and this situation will iron itself out later? thanks for time to read and reply.

hmmmm yeah, i am sure what you're saying is likely and most defintely the case coming to the point of enlightnement being ineffable... so yeah but the fact that there are infinte versions of the maya-world co-existing and there is a version where i am a millionaire for example... guess ties into law of attraction maybe but either way, infinte possiblities are there. reality has no limits. nothing limiting what it can be. so that senario where one takes the pill and returns to win big money for example is likely and well IS already present.

can't talk from experieince but have read many trip reports in which people have the following realization and they RECALL that they chose the life they are living "themselves" when they "chose" to incarnate and be born into the world to certain parents. now this thing is similar to people also having the breakthrough and when they return, they feel as if they are "reborn" and that's really what it is. they come back to the world, washed of all their ideas and presumptions they had picked up from the time they were born (as a baby to the time before they had the awakening/breakthrough) and many trip reports state that "I" felt that it was time to go back and return back to my body and so on... when you say there is one reality... sure, i agree. but there are infinite point of views... your POV would be different than my POV and in reality, your experienice is what defines what is real for you. someone who is seeing ghosts/demons, that is TRUE with a capital T for him/her. so i talk about the body-mind mixed experience which can vary and have infinite potentials within that ONE reality (referencing the concept where Leo says that you could have died a trillion # of times in trillions of different ways from the time you were "born" till NOW)

When you are pranking someone, you are effectively playing two parts. Let's say you go out in a mall and go to a group of people and do whatever prank... for example, pretend you cannot talk and ask them some goofy stuff or directions or whatever (think YouTube pranks - mind is blank atm lol so can't think of a better example) While you do the prank, your body + language + story that you're using is true for your unknowing audience but deep within, that thing which knows you are playing the prank on them, THAT one is the Knower. A simpler analogy came to mind as I was writing this that anytime we are telling a lie, the ONE inside of us who knows that we are lying, that ONE is the knower. The knower is that which knows the real us / the real answer and the puppet / me is the one displayed to the world (even when you're not pranking) again, even this is illusory ofcourse because there is no personal self. God Bless

about this. what if one purifies his soul via the longer route outside of meditation. clearly meditation is just one of the paths... (maybe the best and the most direct as Leo says as well) but if i want to avoid having to run into my huge demons inside (hopefully there are none, but I am not the once to set expectations and get a mind-fuck later) can i not do it via another way and purge it out slowly and grow that way? for example, i guess we are all egoic and evil within to some extent... but there are nice and pious people out there.. that after meditation they wont have much ego to go thru... i want to get better person without that and lose the ego slowly on my own, then go into the arms of meditation for indepth cleaning but it will be easier i hope then as opposed to diving staright into meditation and getting a full knockout punch which has not been rinsed or washed otherwise...

give it what it deserves, not what it needs right now (Dark Knight) Love it Thanks.

@Martin123 what do you mean? like the hardest part is to allow myself to purse these addictions? unsure what u mean by allowing all those cravings come up?

@How to be wise what techniques of meditation do you use? varied? and which gave you the best results? please list any questions u ask as well, the go-to questions

thank you. yes, this sheds some good light on it.

@Martin123 thank you Martin! and yes. totally makese sense. it actually clarifies a few things i did not know about as well. thanks. so really... one should tell him/herself that to batten down the hatches and let the storm pass? because it WILL pass (this too shall pass) eventually? the period of that state can vary depending on how much ego needs to be cleansed? also. i have a question to you about something if you can advise. let's say i have a drug addiction. and i take it upon myself to end it - slowly... say i was doing weed 3 times per week.. and slowly and surely, after a year... i cut it down fully that i have stopped. during this time i will have the emotions bubble up stemming from the shunning of the addiction and me avoiding it and lessen the use of drug, this way i am doing an ego-cleanse, but it's a slow and steady method another way is the one you descirbe that it just happens spontansiouesly... it will be much more intense as i did not plan on it and it's this whole of addiction coming out in a small amount of time or if it's brought upon from a lsd/shroom/dmt trip or a deep meditation session... again, talking about the fast/quick outflow of the ego-cleansing vs in the 1st senario i took it upon myself to "ask for forgiveness" / end my addiction.. at the end of the day, is the destination the same? aka the same new level of ego-cleanse after the addiction is removed either slowly over the year vs rapidly, induced by meditation/phsydellic trip realization ? thanks
