Dawkins seems very open to deconstruction. He’d probably love it. No one has given him the opportunity thus far. Or not, of course.

I would not even worry about chakras. Just do a proven meditation system like TWIM or TMI. Or note aloud 1x/s.

110ug for me. LSD-25. 1P is far less powerful. I know it feels similar, but how many times have you gotten ego death on 1P? Exactly. LSD is far more powerful even though the visuals are basically the same.

"You" are the dream.

Yeah... However... If you've realized you're God authentically (on 5meo or LSD or ketamine+LSD, etc) self inquiry can be ridiculously powerful thereafter.

I thought they were fake too. After thousands of hours of meditation, I think there's something to them. There are certainly distinct "layers" of the mind.

If it seems easy, you ain't doing it right. It should feel SIMPLE, but absolutely not easy. It was the hardest thing "I" ever did. Here's what you do: every thought and feeling and experience, turn away from it and look for the knower of it. Catch the knower -- if you caught the knower, that ain't the knower, because YOU know it, so catch its knower. And so on. Again, it's SO SIMPLE, but absolutely not easy. The states this process can produce are beyond belief. You literally keep doing this for hours. It is not easy. You can realize God this way, as well as the witness, and beyond, The witness is something so profound -- you really feel like God looking in at experience. And that's not even the end. Keep going until experience collapses. Keep going until you forget where you are -- no here means no there -- consciousness illusion is seen by no one. These words don't even come close. It's simultaneously too profound and too ordinary -- you can't put that into words. It's actually so hard and takes so much faith, you might be better off simply attaching attention to awareness (or the effortless NOW of which there is no other) and leaving it there.

This'll work, too.

Wasn't putting you in a box. Was simply pointing out spiritual cycling can resemble bipolar. It did with me and many others. Doesn't mean it "is bipolar." I'm saying that at the risk of cheapening bipolar though... So just know... Bipolar can be so intense someone becomes a successful entrepreneur one month and the next be so depressed they can't even kill themselves even though they want to... So don't think I don't know how bad bipolar can actually be.

Sounds like bipolar. Similar can be triggered by intense meditation practice. Especially attaching attention to awareness and leaving it there unmoving for 30 minutes straight or more -- unbelievably powerful with enough meditation skill.

No Any description is also what is. Whatever happens is just what is already. So nothing ever really happens.

"moment" is merely a construct. There is only what appears and doesn't appear. Try to stay in the present moment (the now) -- now realize this is madness, since there is only now. It's effortless -- there's nowhere else.

They certainly won't really solve any problems. However, they can seem to make it apparent that there was no problem that could be solved. Usually not, though...

^^ Exactly. Why was this even a question?

If you have high testosterone you may have high hematocrit -- in this case donating blood would be highly beneficial.

What arises dependent upon conditions, does not arise. What is, is what arises and what does not arise. No separation. None whatsoever. The freedom of nonduality: what happens, does not happen. What apparently happens (seems to happen), doesn't really (actually) happen. I am you = what appears is what does not appear.

Nobody wakes up, but if Neanderthals had self awareness, the cognitive event known as enlightenment (collapse of self awareness / personal doer-ship) probably could happen. Of course, I don't know.

Seeker: So what’s it like in liberation and having no ego? No one: Liberation? Ego? What are those?

What is seen (well, what apparently happens) is all there is. The assumption that hides this is “why don’t I see everything else.” There isn’t anything else; you assume that what is, is knowable. All there is, is not known by anyone, it’s simply all there is.

@Javfly33 Find that place between: doubt and certainty, judging and caring, intention and expectation, safety and danger. There’s no one there, yet it’s all there is.

There’s no separation. Taking one step further into or out of perfection is not possible. I am you. (There is no we). This is everything. “The Infinite.” There isn’t something else. It seems like others exist, but that’s only because: you’re taking on a real perspective, of which there aren’t any.

No intention for confrontation. Merely saw an opportunity to share insight.

You can't fully realize God unless you realize what's in front of you right now (including the assumption that there is a you at all, if that's arising) is absolutely everything. Everything. You assume there's a bunch of stuff that exists, but hidden from your view. Full God-realization will not (can not) occur while that assumption is still in play. If that sounds crazy to you, just you wait.

When duality collapses it's clear that nothing is everything, real is unreal, etc. Solipsism is nonsensical without subject object. Subject, object, and consciousness are not separate even one single bit. That which can be said to be truly solipsistic is not an individual, and solipsism only makes sense from a supposedly real perspective (an individual).
