The Lucid Dreamer

When we say all these things are illusory, what we really mean is they are relative and only exist the way they do when viewed and interpreted from the general human perspective and psyche. It’s not that they’re not true in their own way; they are just not ultimately true.

Sexual preference is a different thing than universal unconditional Love. Sexual preference a thing that you cannot control, and is largely due to your biology and mental conditioning. It is possible to not want to have a sexual relationship with someone and still unconditionally Love them in a divine way.

Looks the same to me. In what way do you think it is changing? I will say that his entire demeanor, the way he talks and the way he carries himself has changed a whole lot. I don’t know how to explain it, but I can just see based on the way he talks now how much more conscious he has become since his videos 5+ years ago.

100mg of N,N,DMT should be a good start. I’m kidding, of course. Though, N,N,DMT is actually what I started with, haha. But after that, I personally started with 1P-LSD, first trip with 50mcg, and worked my way up. I then moved on to 4-aco-DMT, which is basically just synthetic shrooms. The psilocybin experience can be very disorienting and confusing, which can cause one to feel like they are going insane, and this can cause panic. I personally think LSD is a better beginner psych, because it is a much clearer and less confusing headspace, albeit chaotic. It honestly doesn’t matter what you start out with so much as long as you are careful with your initial dosages. Always start small to see how you react to it and then work your way up.

There is absolutely no reason why you are you and not me, which is exactly why you actually are me and I am you. But if you want a more relative answer: Infinity must play out all possible experiences one frame at a time. Your life is one of those frames. The real problem here is that you still think there is such a thing as you. When you can truly look past the illusion of the self, the answer to this question will be made clear. You have no identity, therefore you are all identities.

So spending thousands of hours of your life compiling the highest teachings on the metaphysical nature of reality for free isn’t enough love huh?

Have you taken any psychs?

Absolute Infinity is paradox, and therefore is beyond logic.

A better experiment might be something like this, but hooking up a microphone to it and chanting the mantras through the mic.

@Saba I finally got the time to finish the interview, and I gotta say, he surprised me. It seems like he’s actually starting to drop some of his previously held materialistic biases. Either that, or I misunderstood his views before. Though I don’t think I did, cause I used to be very interested in his work and I watched every video of his I could find. His citation of Gödels Incompleteness Theorem shows that he’s starting to see the paradox that lies within self-referential systems, and seems to be opening his mind to the possibility that there may be a mystery behind consciousness that can never be adjudicated. Though it seems he’s a little hesitant to embrace Infinity. It would be great to see him finally getting it someday.

Donald Hoffman is an example of a traditional materialist scientist who’s starting to see the writing on the wall but who is still clinging to certain scientific dogmas. One example of this is his assertion that in order to “prove” his theory that consciousness is fundamental, he must be able to create a mathematical model of consciousness. He asserts in one instance that consciousness is fundamental and then turns around and says there must be a mathematical model. So is consciousness fundamental, or is mathematics fundamental? You can’t have it both ways. What he is not seeing is that mathematics arises out of consciousness. Consciousness does not arise out of mathematics. That being said: I actually really appreciate Donald Hoffman and what he’s trying to do. I think it’s great that there is a respectable “non-fringe” scientist (Though, perhaps many in the mainstream scientific community still may consider him fringe) who is at least starting to introduce to the mainstream the idea that consciousness is primary. He has some critical blind spots, but it’s still a step in the right direction. Baby steps, right?

@Elshaddai if God didn’t allow selfishness, God couldn’t be God. God is perfect love and It is so loving, that It even loves and includes selfishness within Itself. Also, if God did not allow selfishness, you could not be here as an ego asking why God allows selfishness. But of course, God is Infinite, so it has to include everything, including that. Including selfishness.

Do you think reality outside of your mind identifies your hand as a hand?

He’s been asked this question several times. Probably more than what I’m even aware of. All I remember him saying was something to the effect of “He seems like a smart guy, and he probably has some level of awakening, but based on everything I’ve heard him say, he clearly doesn’t have a very deep metaphysical understanding of reality.” it was something like that, I can’t remember exactly. He can correct me if I got that wrong.

Solipsism is not even close to as radical as what’s actually true.

@Verdesbird Citation needed.

I’d totally join a monastery and become a monk if they allowed psychedelics.

Read up on Project Star Gate and the work of Garret Moddel. Here’s a nice intro to some of the experiments he and others have done.

We are the beings with the largest egos.

It doesn’t really matter what it means cause it’s probably just made up, but if you want a new-age interpretation, read the first book in the Conversations With God series.

Ironically, the more you train your mind to unify and to see the similarities between things, the more fine-grained distinctions you are capable of making.

After death, you will spend an eternity in Infinite Love and unity as the Godhead. But because God loves infinitely, it will always collapse into the world of form to go through the drudgeries of limitation. However, I believe that somewhere in the Infinite sea of incarnations, there is a life where whatever species or collection of beings you are a part of has created a “heaven” for themselves where disease and aging have basically been eradicated and you may be able to live in relatively great peace, love and profundity for hundreds of thousands/millions/maybe even billions of years, or until the physics of the universe you are living in eventually makes it impossible to persist any longer. But no matter what, you will eventually have to die and return to the Godhead, spend an eternity as Perfect Love, and then collapse back into form. Of course, this is not to say that in this hypothetical “heaven” there wouldn’t be any problems or suffering. I don’t think it’s possible to exist in the world of form without problems of some kind, but I think it’s possible for a species to advance to a degree that the problems and suffering they have to deal with generally is relatively minuscule compared to the problems and suffering we have to deal with now, the same way that the problems we have today are much much less than the problems and suffering of our ancestors even just 200 years ago. As a species we are always in the process of trying to make our existence longer, easier and more beautiful, and as long as we don’t destroy ourselves at some point(which seems... likely), I don’t see why that trend should cease. If we keep advancing, who the hell knows how amazing our existence could get? But of course, as far as your ego is concerned, this is the only life you get, so if you want a beautiful and profound existence with less or no suffering in this life, do everything you can to awaken while you still have the time.

You’re right, the visuals can be distracting if all you’re trying to do is awaken. However, I’ve made it my mission to explore everything consciousness is capable of, and N,N,DMT is quite useful for that. I’m also very interested in inter-dimensional communication.

@Leo Gura However, I just recently managed to get a hold of some 5-MeO(FINALLY!!!!), which I am definitely planning on plugging. Hope it arrives soon. And yes, I was planning on referring to this video once my 5-Meo arrives.

@Leo Gura Doesn’t work for N,N,DMT too well unfortunately. Could use harmalas but, I’m on medication that makes that pretty risky.
