I can dig it. Wondering how much discipline plays a part though.

Nope.

@Fearless_Bum ?

Most humans are born unconscious I would think, only the lucky ones aren't :-). It's a default mechanism, and take years to become more conscious than the default state.

Then pursue these things, just do it consciously. How to pursue consciously? Just be aware that you are dreaming these activities up as you are partaking in them .. so you don't get too attached.

Leo did an in-depth video on it:

Finitude is contained in what is Infinite. What is Infinite, by definition, is perfection. In actuality, our Existence alone is what makes us perfect .

Visited Vegas for the first time last year .. life changing experience. I'd encourage everyone to visit, even if you are not a big party person or gambler. It's like stepping into whole different universe. Everyone is just free and in the moment. I'll definitely be back.

Use whatever term you wish (can be Mind, can be Consciousness etc etc) .. these words are meant to describe, but what we are is indescribable..making words utterly useless in this endeavor. Everything is appearance .. our fundamental nature is to observe and experience. One needs not to have a form identity to do this .. which is the beauty of it

You got . It is Yours as well .. there is no difference between You and I. Solipsism is ultimately a human construct, like science .. it implies that the Mind belongs to the human. But the truth is that the human(s) is just an appearance in the Mind (otherwise known as Consciousness).

If there are no other minds, then what is there? I'm asking to understand your perspective, not to debate with you.

What do you mean? If you truly understood that all of reality is one Mind, then you wouldn't have lingering questions about solipsism. So I ask again, do you see how all minds are the same? And if so, explain.

Do you see how two minds are actually the same?

Deconstruct science. Leo has a 3 part series on this subject.

My relationship with my body has gotten better over time, most issues come from not being in tune and on the same page with it. Something I work on everyday.

Paul Hedderman would be perfect for you, he’s an alcoholic that found freedom from his addiction through non-duality (kudos to the person who shared his vids on the thread). I’d take the option of checking into rehab or Alcohol Anonymous seriously. You’ll need a support group. Sending love your way.

If meditation could do what psychedelics could, I’m sure no one would even bother with seeking out psychedelics for spiritual work. But I’ll have to experiment to truly find out .. I know I do see many on the forum that discourage the use of psychedelics, but I’m quite skeptical of that assertion..especially those who have no direct experience of them. Not only religious people, but also Buddhist, New Agers and Neo Advaita people. Many actively avoid the idea that could ever be God.

That’s cute. If it exists in your direct experience, then it is of your choosing. You can only grasps this through God realization. All of reality is your imagination, what is imagined is imagined by choice. Again, your ego will not want to accept this because it has preferences. It doesn’t make sense to it that it would choose / imagine something that goes against its survival.

Lol why should we listen to what Nahm says? You are already “should-ing” while criticizing the act itself. Is Nahm your God or something?

Where in my previous post did I mention what meditation didn't do for me? Unlike others, I'm not going to close the case on spiritual practices I have yet to experience (in this case psychedelics). Thanks Leo.

Creation is the choice that is being made .. at all times, infinitely. On top of that, you are the Creator of reality, every aspect.

Best psychedelic for this? I love my meditation, but ready for the next level.

What’s essential is separating the ego’s will from God’s will. The reason an ego will not buy into infinite will is because it’s idea of will is that which it can use to serve itself..which is highly partial. However, God’s will has no partiality to it, it does not care what is being brought up in awareness, it appreciates its Being alone .. including that which is considered relatively bad to the ego. Therefore God’s Will is existence .. and existence is infinite. The egos will is that which is in existence that serves it survival, which is limited and partial. Going from ego to God unlocks true Will.

The word imagination works well in replacing the ‘will’. Imagination is infinite of course, no beginning and no end in sight.

The body is a finite fragment of mind.. so the answer is yes. Whats needed is a change in psychology regarding the health and maintenance of the body. Starting with self-love.
