*yawn* Doesn't explain anything at all.

Me, I don't know. Leo, on the other hand, does not believe in conspiracy theories, but he believes that life is God conspiring against himself to fool himself and then feel smart. So God created brains and all this shit to deceive himself to keep himself asleep. Which view sounds more likely?

I have experienced several changes so far and all without psychedelics. The "positive" changes: More creativity. More intuition. Heightened awareness. More clarity. More presence. More peace of mind. More feeling of emotions and all other sensations (×10 or ×20 times). More relaxed thought processing, i.e. less neurosis. Meditative resting awareness, i.e. passive contemplation. Potential for healing abilities. Potential for clairvoyance. Ability to detach and enter nirvana. Can't recall more at the moment. The "negative" changes: Faint memory, depending on the subject. Loss of interest in almost everything. Therefore, loss of the ability to memorize things. Slow thought processing. More feeling of negative emotions and sensations, which means immense physical pain and psychological suffering. Hot is extremely hot, and cold is extremely cold. Over-uniqueness. I can't relate to people the same way I used to. Restlessness. I can't keep my attention for too long, and I used to be able to concentrate for hours easily. Mind all over the place. I do things in portions now. I don't read a long post on the first sight. I first assess the length and the depth, and then I read in portions in sync with other things. No multi-tasking though. Just multiple threads. Lack of purpose, drive, and direction. I don't know what else.

There is thought without awareness, and awareness without thought, and thought about awareness, and awareness of thought.

What is existence?

A = thought B = awareness A =/= B Thought =/= awareness Anything that is not awareness is thought. And anything inside thought is not awareness.

God, I hope so. That means it's not gonna happen.

It's called derealization disorder. Possible causes: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depersonalization-derealization-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20352911 And yes, I experience it a lot of times depending on certain things that I'm not fully aware of.

@Rilles Okay. Now I think you're being more than a little bit neurotic. I'll just excuse myself from further comments.

I think you're being a little bit neurotic.

From what I've noticed about psychedelic users, they all, without exception, seem to be stuck in chasing mind-expansions and favoring it over being. And to me that's antithetical to enlightenment. Because the more mind you have, the less you'll be able to just be.

Leo also says that God is the devil.

How can people be this naive and believe this is true?!

Most of the times, a point is a circle, actually

Looks perfect! I wish you the best. Just let go of any expectations, and you're ready to go.

Being is a point. Purpose is a circle.

God, never ceases to disappoint. Leo is probably masturbating to Biden's pictures right now experiencing some universal orgasms lol

@Reciprocality I am not very experienced in philosophical terminology. Can you explain what you said in simpler terms?

Exactly. I don't like it when we attach the term "truth" to either materialism or idealism or anything else. I believe all models exist because they serve certain purposes, but that's their limit. They're just tools for deeper manipulation. Then people start attaching to one model against all others, and they call their model absolute truth and primary, and all other models BS and secondary. Idk at this point it just seems underdeveloped and unsophisticated to me.

He got bored after 10 days and started "psychedelicating" his ass lol. Anyway, as a general reminder from my experience, you always get a conclusion compatible with the initial assumptions. If you assume yourself to be a blank slate, you will get the conclusion that you are actually a blank slate. That works for everything as far as I have tried. The reason why you didn't last long is because you were not trying to enjoy your time. You were expecting things and insights. This robs you of the joy of actually being present and fully surrender. But I guess I'm no better. Total complete detox is very hard. If it's your first time, I recommend you allow some friendly entertainment in reasonable amounts, like music or masturbation. Unless you have a strong motivator, like immense suffering, it's unlikely that you will be able to do it perfectly from the first time. So maybe start slow and build your way up. You'll notice that after a while you'll genuinely lose interest in those entertaining stuff that you were addicted to. The joy of entertainment will pale in comparison to the joy of being present. So you won't have to fight your inner demons, they will be dead, at least temporarily. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Cool pic, but boring post. Sorry ?

Simple, don't let your inability to forgive make you hate yourself. Instead, allow yourself to hate him.

It amuses me how some people can miss the actual question op is asking. The question is what's form for? People answer that form is formlessness. Okay, but the question is still there. Form is something that can be perceived as either distinct, or indistinct from formlessness. The question is about the perception of the distinct form, not the indistinct. Can anyone answer that? Or do you not know but just like to participate?

Experience. Maybe?
