@AstralProjection in a nutshell, yes AND no. Reincarnation is just a concept. He is God living out one particular possiblity. You can become directly conscious of this. IT just goes on forever.

@Pouya enlightenment IS science. Its the same thing. Its just not science TODAY. Spiritually and science will one day merge. Remember the founding fathers of quantum mechanics were philosophers first and foremost. They may not have had direct experience of being but they got it. Pursue it with more vigor than ever and with higher understanding that spirituality and science will one day coexist beautifully. A great course i recommend is Einstein and the Quantum revolution by the Teaching company. (TTC) . It doesn't incorporate spirituality yet but it hints upon it almost that its coming. The teacher still believes there s an objective reality but its still a great course if you want to get a grasp of relativity.

@tecladocasio correct..you can only be infinity. But i simply meant she doesn't even grasp it as a concept. In other words she doesn't even understand what is being pointed at. (What you are pointing at)

It seems like she might have had a glimpse of awakening but she is getting stuck on the no self and isn't getting any further. She can become directly conscious that reality is pure consciousness but it seems her awakening was just one limited facet. She kind of spells this out when she admits she has no understanding of infinity and also of non-duality.

@Serotoninluv wonderful and interesting..just like history - which i love - and the newly discovered picture of a black hole -- yet still just concept and imagination in a giant mind. I think you might be missing his point. He is just referencing the difference between pure being and concept.

@Aakash therein lies the paradox. Pure raw being is nothingness. There can only be something through slight of hand... And yet through actuality God lives within you...this moment is eternal.

@noselfnofun yes because when you experience a full awakening you literally experience your own death...and there is a moment when its like "oh fuck". After the mystical experiences and you slowly return to your ego that can be accompanied with depression and ego backlash. I think its good to be at a certain level of maturity to handle this. But you probably won't become enlightened unless you are anyway. Its beautiful and there are infinite levels of it but there is also the sadness of the passing of the concept of you. Of course that is only relative to you. Your true self is pure being and love and encompasses all including your little self

@EmptyInside yes i can totally relate. And it sucks that there are no high conscious people that we know other than online. Because we do not want to fall back into doing low conscious stuff just because thats all there is around us. So we have to continue to do the inner work and be vigilant. But i totally relate. It's easy to fall back into the dream and do dream stuff. However once you awake you are forever altered so there is this invisible fence between you and the rest of the world around you. You can partake in mundane stuff but you are also conscious at the same time that this is just an illusion and that being is prior to all of it. I get a deeper sense of piece now being by myself doing conscious work than anything else..anything else can be enjoyable to an extent but it has a shallowness or a hollowness to it now. Having other awoken beings physically in your life really isn't going to help that much because spirituality is really done alone anyway. Maybe meditating with Peter Ralston or the buddha by your side might be cool at first but its still the same hollowness.

@Vinnie ?

@Swagala this is definitely true i notice the more in tune you are with infinite intelligence the more you will just understand something as isness or being rather than putting it into words. This happens to be all the time. I used to think it was a bad thing but now i realize it is a good thing and it is aligned with spirituality and infinite intelligence.

@SoonHei @Mikael89 LOL!

It is always present yet hides in plain sight. It cannot be captured in words yet words are all we have of it. It moves my hand even now to summon these words, yet i cannot point to it. It is the perfect paradox. I am all things..i am One. One cannot make another comprehend of One for that is the strange loop. It is a path to be walked alone. This is awareness. This is Being. It cannot be grasped..do not try. It is prior to grasping. Simply be still. But love. Love with your whole being. Remove all selfishness and dishonesty. Find wisdom and Being will find you. You will become One with your essence. But these are just words. These words are not your essence but can only point to it in vain. Journey well my friends. You shall find You when You are ready and only then. Or just take some 5-MEO hahah

@David Hammond yes they did . Thanks for the kind words guys. Was just in the moment and appreciating how beautiful it is.

@lmfao This stuff is very real. You found a very special place here my friend. Always cherish that.

@Leo Gura ahh but what is the physical world in this equation. You speak of actuality vs concept and imagination. Actuality is Being. Its God. It's what YOU are. It's the Godhead. So to call it the "physical world" is just a metaphor in a sense.

@SOUL he is speaking of Being. If you can experience pure Being even once in your life it will be wonderful beyond words. Most of us are lucky to have it once. But then..luck has nothing to do with it. GOD doesn't roll dice.

@DecemberFlower @thesmileyone yeah he is speaking about becoming self aware..its very accurate for someone who suffers from an anxiety disorder....mental disorders can be a chemical imbalance so you need to be self aware of when it is hitting amd go meta on it.. That takes practice...of course if he actually has a chemical disorder or just a confidence problem only he knows. I have pure OCD and when i had my awakening experience / mystical experience it came in waves for about a week and during that time i had complete certainty and was completely cured of OCD. But that was because i was not me anymore. I literally experienced my own death. As i returned to my ego though over time i felt everything that was associated with myself..including the OCD returned. However i was different having had that experience. I now feel a sense of peace and being i never had before. So while enlightenment will help and actually in the moment of enlightenment (whether that moment is an hour or a month) you will actually be cured of everything and will be perfect and in a perfect state of non-duality (you will literally become your true self which is God) you will most likely not remain in that state forever..its very rare that one does. So your issues will still be there unfortunately. Those take work and self actualization to fix. Like everyone said keep doing the work and will greatly improve your life.

@Dodo i have news for you. You ARE Eckhart Tolle!

@Chumbimba You are already off to a valiant start because you are self aware. Meaning you are already looking at your own habits and how to improve yourself. One example you mentioned was starting something and not finishing. This is one of the big ones. Because we have monkey Mind we think we know it all when we get 75% in and that the other 25% doesn't matter. Actually it couldn't matter more... That said why don't you start by meditating for an hour a day and get a feel for how spiritually gifted you are without pyschedelics. Perhaps you do not need them for your own enlightenment..perhaps you do, but you will never know unless you follow through on your goals. You want to jump to a shortcut to awakening when it may not be necessary. If it is that's fine but you shouldn't put the horse in front of the cart. Simple self inquiry should induce enlightenment if you are at that point in your life. However if you have followed through and still can't achieve without pyschedelics then do them but do them the right way. Its like Leo's maze video...you need to understand yourself first because your maze is your own. You will not necessarily understand your true self and inner being by simply taking pyschedelics..you will do that through mediation and deep contemplation. Don't jump ahead of yourself.

@Angelo John Gage nice. Have you had a mystical experience yet and or an awakening experience yet?

Those of us who have awakened and those of us that are idealists, many of whom grew up believing in the materialist paradigm, know from direct experience that reality is a giant mind. Those that have not directly experienced mysticism still believe it too. But how amazing would it be if there was this door and on the other side of the door one could walk through and see the Truth. See what is real. In other words they could open this door and they would be enlightened. I often dream of a door like this where if only it existed the materialists would see for themselves that this is real. That reality is a mind. Oh but to dream! (No pun intended!)

@Serotoninluv that's very eloquent i like that a lot Or we are an idea within the mind. But at the same time we are the mind itself.

@theking00 honestly coming from the materialist paradigm as Leo knows, i wouldn't have believed it either if i didn't have a direct mystical experience (not on psychedelics either). This stuff is very real...as crazy as it sounds.

@thesmileyone keep in mind that although the substance of everything is ultimately nothing and that deception is what really " creates" anything (dualism)...although this is the case notice also that reality is an absolute relativity. It's what you (God) make of it. If you choose to give it no meaning then guess what - that's what you get. If you give it meaning then it has meaning. It's all the way you look at it. Thats the magic. Basically if you wish to change your perspective you still can..knowing that the substance of everything is nothing will not change that once you are conscious enough. You can enjoy life and in fact you will find an even deeper sense of peace and being then ever before. But at the same time you will see through what is shallow and what really has meaning in life. That is true wisdom. Remember that although reality is the formless it is also intelligent and loving. It exists! Nothingness exists. That's the mystical, paradoxical nature of reality. It's really beautiful when you think about it.

You will experience the death of the ego. Its so total that when it happened to me i had a loss of sex drive and other symptoms. No desire for anything i normally craved. As my ego returned over the following weeks i slowly returned to normal. But then ego backlash sets in and depending on how strong your will to live is the stronger your backlash will be. I'm working on more awakenings but it's much harder for me to get there now because my ego is fighting me the whole way. I had my awakening without any pyschedelics. I don't have access to any or maybe now i would be tempted to try 5meo. Oh and besides that you just know. Notice i said YOU just know. Try convincing anyone else.
