This can also be summed up as 'to exist' I remember candy flipping (lsd+mdma) and it seemed so obvious that my purpose here was to exist in of itself. By existing I always fulfill my purpose.

The ego can be a very abstract thing. Any behavior attributed as a sense of self importance is usually assigned to the ego. Identifying egoic behaviors here is more about correcting ones that inhibit you.

It is more about shifting where you get the stimulation from and management of it than eliminating it. Being in the now is so emphasized because many people get really caught up in past/future thinking and being mindless instead of mindful. You are always in the now but your mind may take you away from focusing on it. If you don't self-introspect into your own behavior you'll miss this easy. With every insight you have it seems so painfully obvious you don't know how you didn't see it before.

Trying to define the undefinable which makes talking about it extremely difficult because the moment you call it anything you define it. Even calling it 'it'

@Hardkill Your life purpose would be your overarching goal to strive for in your life. Does making money resonate with you that deeply? If not then making money is likely just a route you can take in order to fulfill your life purpose. This world is a puzzle and sometimes you gotta work the system to reach your goals

Develop the ego but also develop the ability to look past it into no ego. Some people say you can only have ego or no ego but what if you simultaneously have both perspectives?

@Salvijus collapse the selfless/selfish duality.

Good advice here. If you want to be extra sure I know there are some labs you can send samples to and they'll test it for you.

Affirmations are all about reprogramming the subconscious through repetition. One of the primary ways it learns

Not a matter of should or should not. If you want to then do it. Worst case he says it doesn't bother him anymore. And you'll get clarity about it. A lot of people know exactly what they should do but get bogged down in overthinking.

Different reagents are made for different drugs in mind. It does matter which reagents you use or else the reaction won't accurately tell you what it is. Also many reagents kits are suited for you to be able to run the drug through multiple reagents geared for that drug to ensure it is what it is. The other reagents are called follow up kits. So there is a specific order. LSD testing guide: https://bunkpolice.com/pages/how-to-test-lsd DMT: https://bunkpolice.com/pages/how-to-test-dmt So you are going to mainly want Ehrlich, Hofmann, and mecke. I'm sure there's a kit with all 3. I really like bunk police kits because they send you a booklet of tests of lab verified samples so that you can compare to their results I know Ehrlich can test for 5 Meo but I haven't checked if Hofmann and mecke can be used as follow ups.

It's more that people want the tools to conceptually understand what they do and experience to go deeper into the working and gain a more holistic perspective. This is enlightenment for many. To understand the pointers.

@Brenzo2 The problem here is the subjectivity of the word. For example I considered judgment to be as free and ever changing as judgment but according to the source I found they are different in that regard. So locating judgment doesn't help me at all because my pointer is fundamentally different.

@Emanyalpsid Sounds like the same thing to me just we may have built our understanding through different concepts. My main goal of my explanations in the other thread was to break the localization of the word consciousness to the human brain.

Maybe I worded it wrong. I said ego perspective to reference back to the identity with the human body. I was mainly trying to add context that I see the illusion of death

If I had 2 days left to live from an ego perspective I wouldn't be concerned trying to build a understanding of reality. Not concerned with knowing. I'd want to just be. To experience. To appreciate the present moment.

Hey there! Glad to see you have this realization. We had a conversation on another thread about consciousness that I was about to reply to but it seems like you now understand what is being said. Happy for ya! (:

I looked at some other perspectives on the word judgment and what I was presented was basically an imperfect opinion assumed to be perfect formed on a strict ruleset that isn't allowed to change and often projected outward as some law. While an opinion is some snapshot of looking at the world from a perspective that is allowed to change and carries no expectations. Let me know if this is closer to what you were meaning. I've always perceived judgment to be equivalent to opinion and held it to the same standards so this may be why I missed the pointers.

Some of knee jerk reactions here. Be careful to not oversimplify or over generalize the topic of pickup and perception of women. You are fine as long as you know to quit when it has been expressed that your advances are unwanted. To me sexual objectification would imply you see them as inanimate and that you can do as you please. Nobody asks an object for anything. You are wanting mutual interest so you don't have this problem.

This is probably the best explanation for consciousness from a scientific perspective I've heard.

Judgment and opinion come down to the same thing. When people tell you not to judge it's a phrase loaded with meaning. it's basically saying your judgment has incomplete information due to not knowing someone in entirety. It's also asking to not project how you think on others as everyone has built their own perspective on the world. It's loaded with meaning to try and shun away negativity.

Organic doesn't imply it is automatically better than none organic food but it has a reliability factor due to GMOs not bring tested/used for as long. But I see the GMOs route growing as we become more knowledge to bend nature to suit us.

@Leo Gura I completely agree with this but there is still a hurdle of people just shrugging it off as an experience. 'oh it's just a drug it's not real' They won't delve deeper unless they see the flaws in this thinking. Many people go their whole lives shrugging it off even if they have an ego death like experience. The mentality runs deep.

Changes depending on context. I usually say the universe or reality to most people. You don't really redefine God as nondual until you experience it so most people won't understand what I mean if I say God.

When people hear it's all an illusion it often becomes escapeism to the mind to not see reality as real. But you must consider that real and illusion are one in the same. This is as real as real gets. You are here so why not participate.
