@Heaven Yep, "the one who choosing" is an illusion. Choice without chooser. You are Infinite Choice.

@Javfly33 ?

@Javfly33 To see the way there should be clarity first. Clarity is always now, when you're relaxed and enjoying the present moment.

Can relate to it, when I joined the forum in 2018, that was a usual reaction. Now every message feels like *home*

You are free life. Life can't escape itself. Suffering is produced not by situation, but due to involvement in thinking that doesn't feel good. Look on positive side of things, you can breath, you can enjoy sunny days, you can enjoy nature for example. Make a small step by a small step in improving how you feel. I dunno, start a routine in the morning to cook&drink cappuccino for example. Anything you want, anything that feels good to you.

@Armand take a look at "A Course in Miracles" series, mind blowing

@freejoy Metaphorically... the screen plays a movie. A movie character takes psychedelic, so the movie plot changes drastically while the movie character high. You are the whole movie & the screen simultaneously. Does psychedelic help the screen to realize itself, that it's not just a movie character? Perhaps, the drastic movie plot changes is helpful for dis-identifying yourself with the movie character, the danger arises if the screen misinterpret yourself as the radical movie plot. There is only screen, this.

Simply try to relax attention on attention, on "I am", once there is engagement in thinking that doesn't feel good.

@Sahi96 I appreciate the genuine questions. Any "why" question may be answered by "unconditional love" or "why not". Cause&effect is by-product of the belief "I am a separate entity"/"I will die/I was born"/"I need X, Y, Z". Focus inwards, investigate the direct experience, who claims to have some position/opinion. The end of suffering is realizing your true nature by emptying your cup so to speak. Let go of thinking, empty your cup.

@Chumbimba Ideally, to have an experienced trip sitter for the first trip. If not, I'd start really really low, like 20-50ug before doing a standard dose. Do not trip the first time with people who don't know about psychedelics in one room. You don't need to plan much what to do, just arrange comfortable settings for the trip, have a good music & fruits, etc. Relax and investigate the direct experience during the trip, try to notice what is always present. Daily morning meditation for 1 hour may help tremendously while working with psychedelics. Most and foremost, enjoy the experience.

@Tovius Relaxation/the sinking of attention/being.

@Heaven You are welcome. Can relate to it... keep abiding... there is ever-present happiness. ? @JonasVE12 Sure, developing a movie character... is a feature, not a bug. Everything leads to this... just have to notice how you feel. ?

@Heaven Metaphorically... let's assume the screen plays a movie. The movie character starts to donate money, etc. Then, the movie turns in a way that the movie character looses some body part for example, huge suffering arises for this character. The end of suffering is to realize that you are the whole movie & the screen simultaneously. Nothing can affect you, you are not a healthy movie character, you are the whole movie & the screen. There is only screen.

Thoughts are clouds, but you are the sky. Rest as "I AM", be the sky consciously. ?

Exactly. It's impossible to be not aware since you are awareness.

@Nahm deeply resonates, thank you.

Self realization is not the end of the "normal life in a city". It's noticing that there is only life, there is no "you" as a separate entity. It is already the case. ?

? Feeling is you, do not cling to it / do not push it away, merge the apparent distance between "you" and the feeling.
