Nothing? ?

Can you confirm something for me please? The free will exist only in relative to ego right? When you step out, distance yourself from ego you see that thoughts and happenings can be explained by the law of causality, thus everything seems to be predetermined. But because ego stems out from the real Self ( which I call " the Nature" ) and is identical to it, there is no one to be predetermined, that force which is predetermining ego's actions are ultimately The Nature itself which is You! Do I understand it correctly?

@Viking You would be surprised, those buddhists i encountered are super open minded and have lots of wisdom to offer. They wont even talk about beliefs (unless asked) they would just say "sit and meditate" I would clasify them more like in middle greenish spectrum. Btw i also went to some hippie communities and felt they lack the spiritual side. Those Buddhists in the community are so much above them, very rational and introspective (I think mostly because they were westerners, so they would do lots of analyzing and would not take things on blind fate).

@Viking Hey! I had the same problem few months ago. So I left my home and bought one way ticket to Spain. Got into Buddhist community that squat in caves, spent 3 months there, learnt meditation, community living and refreshed my spirit. After that I went to do Ayahuasca ceremony where I had experience of the Self and Absolute (literally went from Hell to Heaven). Now my mind has become reseted and I feel so much better, and i even feel where i should go with my life, before was hopelessly lost. Next week Im going to Self-explorating workshop and then go back to Spain to take Permaculture Design Course. My thinking now is very eco oriented, and I want to live in harmony with myself and nature, i guess you could say my life will be directed towards creating a sustainable living environment for all living beeings, this is my desire at the moment at least Hope it helps

This festival looks really interesting for someone like me, who just recently tapped into the freedom of surrendering, the flow, letting go of all concepts. Thanks to Ayahuasca. Experiencing the groundlesness, total freedom made me completely lose my mind (which I'm so thankfull for) It reminded me to Love and not judge, something I have completely forgoten about, no wonder life was so unfullfilling.. Anyway thanks for sharing info about such festival, I might even go

Thanks for answering! Part of me what you're saying knows this to be true, but this seems too radical to accept I guess, since it's too contradictory to my "normal" experience of the world..

@Leo Gura does my room walls exist if I'm not looking at them? Sometimes I wonder what's the point of all the info psychedelic trips gives you if relative day to day reality still operates as it used to, people still need to eat, shit and do whatever they do. It just seems it has no practical side to it other than giving you new beliefs (but at least it comes from your direct experience..). You say there are no physical laws, but how could there not be, if I jump from building I will certainly die or cripple myself, well other people have done it and it happened for them, are you saying I'm imagining all that? I'm just a bit disappointed in psychedelics, cause when you come down all reality is as it always was, so it seems it does all happen in your brain..
