This is the whole game the ego has gotten you in to That is what is stopping you from getting it. None can validate this for you my friend. Sure you can see "other" people commenting their experiences and their insights. But Truth is something that can ONLY be shown through "your experience".

What do you get from smoking?

What country do you live in? Try looking for a shaman that works with medicine. Or get good at darknet game (I never bothered)

Welcome ?

Its okay. Just accept the feeling if you know you have been guilty of it. Look at it for what it is. And just own up to it. Allow yourself to let out the emotions if you have done it to others, or have been a victim of it yourself. Forgive yourself and forgive others. Without the need to call them up and begging for forgiveness. Just feel in to the emotions of the times you have done it to others or times its been done to you. Let these two parts of you meet “each other” within you. Let the healing begin.

Yes, it happens mostly on an unconscious level. Few do it intentionally… Life guides you and through relationships with others, these will tend to come up to the surface for us to observe, either when others do this to us, or we doing it to them. Sadly thats like the only times we can really and truly catch the habit and see it for what it truly is. You can also scan your memory, and see if you can remember yourself trying to include yourself in someones life without them being in on it, only because you wanted something from them, and they only being nice, but uncomfortable because it has been their people-pleasing side whom chosen to respond/give. Or times when you have been clingy or “sticky” to people who have pushed you away in a friendly manner, repeatedly, only for it to end with them completely cutting you out from their life. Sometimes not even bothering telling you why. There are probably a lot more signs and ways you can observe and catch yourself being an “energy vampire”. Its all about being aware if it, more and more. Catching yourself and or others doing it. We all do, and have done this at some point in our lives. Some more than others. Its “normal” and a common phenomena and bound to happen considering how poorly some of us get raised. Its really something that develops during childhood and early adult life. Its very sneaky and unconsciously manipulative behavior out of a sense of not being fulfilled (lack) and wanting what others have. People who have low self esteem are prone tho being victims of energy vampirism. And sometimes some of them even develop the same habit. So in some cases and relationships they are the energy vampires, and in a few others they play the victim role. The best way these are solved and seen, is only through self reflection and mirroring interactions with other mirrors (people). These mirrors have to reflect each other so much, that its finally seen for what it is, and resolved within the individual. Integrated and healed. And the desire to have what others have, is being dropped. Feeling fulfilled with what we have and cherishing our own process in life.

Its the psychedelic showing you what you imagine to be "your" death. What we believe is the psychedelic trip is what being absolutely conscious is, just that its a smaller taste of it when we "trip" in "real life". You are getting a sneak peak of something you believe is going to be "your" death What I am pointing to is that: Even if you imagine yourself with your imaginary body to be going through a process called "death", the real you is still going to be there. Like Carl-Richard described: In trips, I observe "my body" being cremated in flames, I feel the burns, I see (observe) the flames dancing on "my" corpse, I feel (imagine feeling) the warmth, I sense (imagine) the smell: Even with all that going on: Void-part is still there intact, observing what is being imagined by the mind or observing with detachment. You see that you are in this suit made out of space matter, inside another "meat suit", just watching, observing and imagining all of it, the entire process.

You can go through the entire "process" of dying, rotting, watching your body being cremated and turned to dust. And you will still be there. You are imagining all of it. If you choose to do so. You can also just choose to swap to another dream or whatever you wish to design and live through. My last 10 trips has started of where the last time ended with "physical" death.

We have identification with the "body". When we physically die, the identity dies completely. But while "you" are alive, and experience yourself and identify yourself less with the body, you can access and "experience" "physical" death. Ego death, is the surrounding apparent worldly relation between "you" and the things you "know" as your identity, and the relationship with "your" environment, upbringing, psychological and emotional issues, thoughts, feelings, perceptions, attachments and so on. The further "we" go along the pathless path, the more we realize that there never was a "my physical body". The further you let go of your identification with those thoughts and attachments, the more you transmute and transform, the realization dawns: There never were a "physical" or non-physical body. It just appears to be. Its all part of the relationship between your dream and "you". Its what you are Imagining to "be" right now. But since you/me/we/us are using this body and this dream, and to have a "ground" to stand on, as a "solid physical reality" we limit ourselves by attaching anchors to this reality with this "body", to be able to experience what we want to experience 'here'. These anchors are: Un-lived desires, dreams, hopes, feelings, the type of food and worldly content we are addicted/used to, and so on. By loosening our attachments and learning to transmute, actualize and transform our Awareness and Consciousness, through our "view" we can expand our sense of physiology, and see more and more, that this body is not "solid", "real", "physical" as we once thought. And with practices such as meditation, psychedelics, release of traumas and working on our psyche: We can become more and more lucid within this dream, and possibly be able to access alternative states of Consciousness.

Non-attachment to thought. Freedom to express joyful will under all conditions.

Imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror. Your reflection in the mirror is nothing but imaginary and your sense of self, seeing "yourself" is imaginary. Even the mirror is imaginary. Now apply that to "other" people. You are seeing yourself in "them", and the "you" you think you are is also imaginary, seeing imaginary "others" "outside" you. You created yourself in this dream, out of love. And you created "others" as a reflection of yourself, but also with the same "substance" as you created yourself with. So, what is left to do when you are standing in front of a mirror, but to Love it? What is left to do when you are seeing yourself in "others", but to love them? Someone said something very profound here the other day: "Either you see this whole thing as you are alone. Or you see it as You are All One." Two ways of seeing the same thing. But in all actuality, you being alone is not the full picture, because who said that there is a you to begin with? See, others exist, because you "exist". And its all one happening.

What Solipsism fails at is that it doesn't completely show the entire picture to what Ultimate Reality is for. "People" catch on to Solipsism intellectually, and their sense of reality is skewed. Because they are missing a HUGE component: Love. Consciousness is absolutely worth nothing without Love. And Love is worth absolutely nothing without Consciousness. And these "two" are in actuality, One. And when Solipsism is taken as a belief or intellectual masturbation: Its only seen as one side of the Unity between Love and Consciousness. @r0ckyreed Im not implying this to you, im only directing what you said, and complementing it to OP. <3

@r0ckyreed Couldn't agree more. But where is the love in that? Maybe you would say: "That in itself is what Love is" , but is that the complete and full picture of Everything? Why then does the dream exist? Isn't not to use your Lovely "powers" on the only "Reality" there could ever be? This whole dream is just for You. Either you Love it or you don't. Yes all the people are imaginary and designed to keep you asleep, but that is where you can use your powers.

Leo is trying to fix it.

Its bound to be like this with every Solipsism thread.

Vi-MeO ??

*Nods* I feel so much more love and appreciation for everything. "The knowing it in the back of your mind", is the recontextualization I have always longed for. It brings a sense of peace within you, even if you go back to carrying water and chopping wood. Its not seen as it once were.

^This. Its really hard to just know exactly at what level this has been realized in the individual, with just the words he or she is using to describe it. When I had an extreme awakening to No-Self, that was paired with the realization of Reality being completely One. Its was legit the biggest pain I have ever felt, it wasn't as much a "physical" pain, it was just the sheer fact that there never truly was "another". And no me as a finite self. There is just this one pure being. I was running around in panic, screaming in agony. I didn't know what to do or where to go. My ego was in total shock. It felt like my insides were on fire, I was shook to the core. I was laying on the floor writhing in agony. It settled after a few hours after I just had let go and accepted what was shown to me. This was by far the biggest ego death I had ever felt... I couldn't really run away from this... But I guess there are levels to this "Solipsism". I'm afraid most of me/you/us get it in the intellectual level. Which is fine I guess. But to get it in a metaphysical level or a deeper level than the "knowing" of it, where your body is almost tearing apart and your reality is being grounded up to pieces. That is what I believe to be what True Solipsism is pointing to. All of "us" are going to merge in to that one day. And there would be none of "us" left, but that IS-ness, the floating ocean of Oneness. I believe whatever makes you "ready" for this, is when you utterly accepted it to your core, and start to "live" with it as your Strength and your Being, rather than "your" "weakness". This realization is still opening itself up more and more. I'm still connecting the dots, almost everyday. It has really humbled me. And love is growing, slowly, but surely, from within.

Love is in the moment. Its magic that cant be captured. As soon as you want to catch it, it fools you and puts you under a spell. When you see a special someone or a something, its just that. That moment is all there is to it. Just be conscious about that moment, and cherish it. Because, unless you and that person work somehow to maintain that spark, it will just fade away. Catching and controlling love, is like trying to catch water with your hands, as soon as you make your hand in to a fist, all that water will just sift through your fingers. Unless you cup your hands and and just “hold” it, and just Observe. Love is inside you. Best you can do is to be love. Like a fountain that uses the same water to put up a show, nothing to add to itself, nothing to loose. Just re-using its own love, nothing else to do.

I had the same problem. I stopped shaving every day. Started shaving once every other day and now its every 3-4 days. Skin gets irritated if you shave every day. Also, get a good natural face-cream, keep your face moisturized. - Get a good razor that is anti irritation, I use Gillette Skinguard Sensitive. These mach 3, 4 and what is next 5 blades, absolutely destroy your skin. Also change blade every 5-7th use. Most of these blades get dull, unless you get proper expensive equipment. - Get a good and natural-ish shaving cream. I use Shaving Foam for anti-irritation. - Shave down (with the grain) first, and then up (against the grain) after. Dont stroke the same place multiple times. Let the blade do the work, no need to give so much force when shaving. - Use a good Face-Washing Cream, (wash your face before shaving) - Don't dry your face with a "normal" towel, too much bacteria on it. Use wide Kitchen Paper Towels to dry your face after a shave. - Did I mention, don't shave everyday? You will look just as good with some scruff. Trust me, girls like guys who take care of their skin. Rather than having to kiss a red/sore face that is all warm and irritated. Hope I was of use.
