In what ways?

@Leo Gura Haven't you had an out-of-body experience? Many people report that. Maybe that's where you realize yourself as some Soul as well as others as Souls.

@Leo Gura What about a baseline of consciousness? Isn't that a purpose of meditation or yoga to increase that overtime? Don't you want that?

@Leo Gura Do you mean doing the routine daily and paying full attention to it? Or do you mean doing them full-time like a monk? Also, are you comparing their potential effectiveness to psychedelic states? or effective in their own ways, or effective in the sense of what's promised from experienced practitioners and teachers.

@Clarence Maybe the best approximation of knowing that are near-death experiences? https://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html Also, there are lots of similarities in them.

@Leo Gura So, if I understood correctly, this is what you're saying: You've become conscious of Absolute nature of Reality and realised that You are an entire thing, not a piece. And that thing is Infinite and can't die, thus death is imaginary. That's the highest, Absolute perspective. But with that knowledge, you don't magically understand all the relative knowledge that can be had, like how many rocks are there on earth, how to do a brain surgery, or what happens to some random individual's conscious experience when their physical body dies. So that's still a relative domain that you can't know. Like when you don't see all the details on earth when you are standing on the moon. So, when somebody asks you what happens after death, your response is that whatever they imagine, because that's what you've experienced. But their imagenings will literally define the reality that they move into and it might be as real as the physical reality feels when body is not broken. And that imagination is depended on many things including their base consciousness level, ideologies, maybe religious indoctrination, various beliefs, even maybe genetics and Karma and infinite other variables. Is that correct? I'm just trying to make sense of what you mean, not necessarily believe it.

@tashadwoodfall Where did you do the ceremony? And didn't you have any say regarding dosage? Did Shaman at least tell you how much you were getting?

@Hojo What are the ways you know of validating this for myself? Because if doesn't feel like that to me at the moment.

@Ishanga Yes that's also what I was referencing. It's very interesting that most people experience similar NDEs Maybe under psychedelic with a changed state of consciousness, we realize the Truth that Reality is imaginary, but we still don't get all the relative knowledge, right? So what if a state after death is one of those relative things that we can't really know without actually going through it. But who really knows.

@James123 I'm not aware in deep sleep. My main question is, what happens to the awareness after the physical body breaks? What are you aware of after that? From what I've heard, it depends on what the Mind dreams in that moment, and that depends on many factors, on baseline consciousness, life's brainwashing, karma, whatever that might mean, clinginess to the physical world, etc. But that's all speculation for me at this point in my life.

@James123 I don't know, I don't remember.

@Keryo Koffa Okay, so as I understand, it can also be possible that whatever is left after death is clinging to the physical world and that they might need some assistance in realizing that they are actually dead. As I speculate, there must be many layers to what we call our individualized life that extend and stay after the physical body dies, maybe temporarily, but still, it should form some kind of form or something. And Awakening and becoming more conscious after physical death should depend on how conscious the person was before his / her death and isn't a given. But I'm not sure how I can check that.

@Salvijus Is that for real? How can I know if he's just bullshitting me or not? And again, if that's really possible, how does that fit into a reincarnation / merging with the absolute, if there still is my dad somewhere where I can contact him and he can respond somehow?

@Ishanga And if not? Can we somehow know what the conscious experience of an unconscious person becomes after their last breath or some time after that? @Leo Gura You mean if that's what they want / choose consciously? or just automatically out of their life brainwashings So basically you mean that physical death itself doesn't solve that grand issue of Self-Deception?
