The Lucid Dreamer

Total enlightenment is not something you ever reach, but something you can only get closer and closer to. At least as long as you’re alive.

The fully awake person can look down at a steaming pile of dog shit, then look up to the Milky Way galaxy in the night sky and find them both equally beautiful. When the ego is out of the way, there is only beauty.

@WHO IS Why do you eat pizza and not battery acid? Hell, why don’t you stab yourself? Why are you discriminating against stabbing yourself? Gotta love everything unconditionally, right? Or even less dramatic than that, why do you do anything that you prefer over things you don’t like as much? Because it makes you happier and therefore helps you survive. It’s about survival, and if you’re going to be in this world at all, you are going to discriminate based on what helps you survive. Sex or any type of thing you do for pleasure at all is about survival. When you transcend survival and become perfect Love, then the connection you have with all the people you normally wouldn’t have sex with is far deeper than a carnal sexual act could get you to them anyway.

@WHO IS Yes, God is the author of your ego’s sexual preference, and God fully loves and accepts those sexual preferences.

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.
