@Aakash Wouldn't surprise me a bit if that were the case. I just haven't taken them personally so i can't verify directly. But many others here and not here have. So one should look at all tools.

@How to be wise I'm glad there are people like you guys on the forum to help a lot of these guys know that meditation can definitely work. I never used pyschedelics and it worked great for me. Everyone is different and should try the available tools in the proper order. Meditation / yoga should always be first imo.

This post is for all the past and present homies at Actualized.org

@Barna yep - because judging is creating dualities.

If you are referring to a mystical experience the two terms mean the same thing really. The ego collapses. You're body is still there but you will be the Mind at that point, not the mind

Yes they sound legit. A mystical experience in itself is the dissolution of the ego - because you literally become the Truth itself. So to become directly conscious of Truth is Being it. Everything else is 2nd order. First order is Being. Ego is actually 2nd order. You can have other relative insights but they are concept and thus 2nd order. Now - you may or may not have ego backlash after a mystical experience but ego death is imminent even if it is so fast you don't realize it.

I was just gonna say that. I hope we see him again soon. But he recognized that this was becoming a distraction for him on his path. Some if these other names haven't been gone all too long - maybe they went on holiday

They do - simultaneously as you do. Because its God dreaming them and dreaming that it is being them individually and holistically (dreaming the whole thing) simultaneously. And since you are God..... Yes this can be scary at first that everything is One. But all ya have to do is imagine duality and poof you got it

@Ibn Sina Absolute reality is pure isness which is formless. The formless is Infinite. But its like an eye that cannot see itself - so it creates division to experience itself. It imagines or dreams up divison. Division is form. This is your reality currently as the ego. It is relative and finite. But you can still imagine up your own stuff. So the content of your dreams exist within this dream which is reality/duality/form - which exist within Absolute reality/formless/non-duality. So they are nested within each other with the container being the Absolute.. yet simultaneously all are One. Here's the kicker..the whole damn thing is You! You're all that there is and ever will be.

I'm not disputing this..but there are probably many monks that have never actually had a mystical experience. It's just par for the course..for some people it takes 2 weeks and for some it takes 50 years. But i don't think monks are given the tool of pyschedelics.

@Alex bliss the teachings here cover all the tools you need to awaken. You just have to go about it strategically and responsibly - and maturely. You're actually getting deeper teachings here than from a monk.

@Alex bliss it does - it will transform your entire life - but you'll have to put the work in.

Be careful not to limit God to nothingness. You are much more than that. When you become directly conscious that you are God you will realize you were perfect the entire time and you were living this life the entire time. It takes a lot more consciousness to see this though. So keep doing the work and the Truth will dawn

@Alex bliss you are consciousness, fundamentally. Consciousness is the substrate of reality. You are that. You are really itself. The you that you are currently identified with is being imagined by You as consciousness.

@Mason Riggle the nature of reality is fundamentally paradoxical. The deeper you go the more it becomes evident.

@Aeris theyre all you. That should cheer ya up

Just be aware that your ego is gonna wanna bring you back to the status quo. Because it doesn't like Truth. Truth means the death of it. So it may cast deceptions to cause you to doubt what you know is real. You also could potentially feel some depression because again the ego doesn't wanna die. But all of this is relative as you are in your ego of course. You may not have experienced the death of the ego - I'm not sure. But that usually comes with that. Only way you can prepare is to go meta on it and know that it is just the ego pushing back against Truth.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that. You can.

Couple comments - glimpses are much more powerful than you think. Your consciousness will be elevated for days and maybe weeks so you may have more realizations to come. Also be prepared for some backlash.

@Truth Addict i got emotional reading this and it almost brought me to tears. I am beyond happy for ya.

@SQAAD because you transcend the self and the relative and become all of reality. (The Absolute) Pure consciousness. God. And as God you are isness but yet still instantly aware of Absolutes.

@Leo Gura yes i feel it is part of the fundamental fabric based on what i have experienced directly. It goes hand in hand with God.

@Leo Gura indeed Good with a capital G. That might be where @Aimblack was going. Do you consider this a facet of Absolute Love?

Truth is just actual. It can't be denied when one has the direct experience. Truth goes beyond logic and is simply actual before your eyes. Sounds like the paranormal is the same way. And we aren't talking about schizophrenia either. That's not what this is. I recall the weeks following each of my mystical experiences when my consciousness was still highly elevated there were several times when i thought i saw the paranomal. I was tapped in.. But it was only for a second each time. I can sense by @Matt8800s passion (because i have the same passion since becoming transformed from a materialist and atheist...that he has had actual encounters with the paranormal. Of course only he knows. Which is precisely how it must be.

@Danioover9000 tell her thanks!
