If anyone reaches them, then common truths = common beliefs. Truth cannot be arrived at -- it's all there is.

^^ OP: Especially if you've never tried psychedelics. If you have, then I'd say perhaps forget about it for the time being, and do self inquiry. But if you haven't tried them? Maybe plan to at some point in the near future. No rush, but there's definitely some potential there.

Well it's not actually happening. So yeah. What else is there to do though? Lol. Just be you, or not. It doesn't matter. Possibilities are endless.

5-MeO-DMT seems to work quite well. Self inquiry also. Basically just step up your game. Not saying you should do that; maybe just gently imagine it as a possibility to make the dream more rewarding and meaningful. It is rewarding and meaningful, but at the end you'll just realize that you were already just a manifestation of perfection. Though that's not even the end. This work literally goes infinitely deep, because it isn't actually happening -- it's just an assumption attempting to understand infinity, which is boundless.

Constant self inquiry. Who knows there's an I? It's circular. I imagines it's there. Eventually what may occur is the revelation that nothing is actually happening. It's all a dream -- understanding the universe into existence by trying to make sense of infinity.

Just so you know, it might take a bit more than that

Oh ok I see. You don't understand yet that it is possible to understand the entire universe. It's in fact, the only thing you ever do, you just haven't had the requisite higher states of consciousness to Real-I-ze God. It is possible. I did it, Leo did it. Love did it. You did it. Though of course, nobody really did it. Good luck.

The meaning of "I understand the entire universe" is God-realization. The base of "I" is God, which understands the universe into existence. You're identifying with a particular perspective in that understanding, so this seems like something other than what it is.

I cannot ever get it.

Again, that's making sense of what is, which is impossible, which is creation, which is a miracle. Every single claim you make will receive that response from nothing. Not that I'm enlightened, but that is coming from nothing. I of course don't actually know that.

That's making sense of what is, which is impossible, which is creation, which is a miracle.

Not always You don't actually think that though. (Assumption) thinking (assumption) thinks that is just what appears.

You as God literally create reality via pure belief. You believe prior events cause later ones, for literally no reason (important), and this, along with every other belief, become a sort of empty self-fulfilling prophecy. This doesn't mean you can personally choose to believe a reality that you personally just want to live in, on a whim, though. These beliefs are a consequence of attempting to know the infinite, which is impossible -- but that's what creation is. The infinite cannot be known, since there's nothing other than it... So if knowing appears, what seems to be known is necessarily not true. But again that is God creating reality, though God creates itself timelessly with the belief in a real subject. When truth appears (which is all that ever happens) that appearance is neither real nor unreal.

For me it is not like there are two modes. Thoughts, etc are "already there," as you say -- the apparent cause of them is "making sense out of infinity," which is Creation, but since they are infinity (which is all there is), there isn't really a cause. And if there were a cause, it would still just be infinity. The thought of being stuck in this duality is just the infinite appearing as a position or identity. Look at your hand. It might look like a hand, but it's not actually a hand. What it really is, is simply everything, since everything is all there is.

I’m just conveying my (God-taking-this-role’s) understanding (all understanding is illusory). For me, ‘what is,’ is all there is, and many would call this God, but from my understanding, that is wholly inappropriate, simply because what is, is not conscious — it’s simply everything; there is nothing apart from everything to be conscious of, or to be conscious of everything from. Calling it The Christ is maybe slightly less problematic (don’t forget, this is mere understanding and therefore not true). I/You aren’t really conscious, but God makes experience (Reality) out of basically pure magic: belief — If you have not yet understood that facet, it can be a trip, and here’s a pointer: you believe that prior events cause later ones for no good reason (that part is important), and this is “why” time appears real / IS Real-I-zed... and THAT is God creating Reality! With the entire structure of beliefs, timelessly of course. Yes, we are in fact talking to ourselves, from the perspective of God, but from the perspective of Truth, which isn’t a perspective, there’s nobody in this body and nobody in that body — this is just absolutely everything appearing as anything. The limits of my understanding are approximately at the question: is the body a belief even when there’s no person in it? This is a serious conundrum, since when there is no person, there may still be beliefs appearing, but none of them are taken by a someone as real, seemingly, possibly (though probably not) EXCEPT for beliefs which are pragmatically needed to seem to exist to so-called others. The answer is: Obviously not, because appearance is neither real nor unreal, but that’s only obvious without a perspective... When coming from a perspective (God’s), anything can appear to be made real. Of course, that’s just understanding, which is itself God-realization, and illusory.

There is no distance to it. There's just what is. The sense of Reality (consciousness), at least from where I'm coming from, is God. You are God creating reality out of thin air, via pretending to know the infinite, via Be-Lie-(I)f. Just concepts... But God-realization is the so-called point of spiritual development, in my opinion -- which is God's opinion, as there's no separation. Seems a bit suspicious that God would deem the most important thing Real-I-zing God, huh? A bit circular, no?

You don't. It just seems like you do if there is the belief structure -- "I am real," etc. Completeness can never be experienced, since it's all there is. You can Real-I-ze the infinite, God, nothingness, etc, however. Or you can just create the reality you want -- the point.

Experience; incompleteness; duality; wanting something other than what is. It's necessary for survival, since to want what is happening is not possible. There isn't really survival or suffering though, only what is -- which cannot be made better, since there isn't anything else.

@Kalki Avatar Thank you!? Really appreciate the advice. Truly.

@Shin has it right Above statement is ultimately a false claim, however, and as such is synonymous with the individual. As is that statement. And so on.

Nice! I like your style. Tell me what you think of mine; better than self inquiry: 1. Be still and quiet (or not). 2. Try not to be enlightened. It’s going to get you, and there’s no escape, but keep trying to prevent it at all costs — pay no attention to the fact that it’s inevitable. Simply try to escape it. If you dare...

Bad-trips are not wrong-trips, but they’re not right-trips. So, too, for good trips. The best trip is a trip for which you don’t know just how good it is. Every forum post is mere belief-art, this is entirely false, and this is a belief as well. The same thing seems to be true for existence. The above statement is again, a false claim. And so on. This is how Reality works — of course not! But it serves as a means of me-survival (it doesn’t).

Don’t know about any of that, but you’re right, in that it seems I was harboring a false claim about the nature of being. Who would’ve thought? ? Thanks ?

But the process of deciding whether/how to hold-off the insight / letting-go of ground-structure-beliefs (I am real, I am here, I have a life, my life has purpose, etc) is not only completely out of anyone’s hands, it’s not even happening. There’s quite a bit of fear here since I don’t know what will happen. I guess “you” just went with “choosing to avoid self-inquiry,” etc? I had a major glimpse yesterday that was almost the end of me, and no practice was even seeming to take place — though there’s the memory that a sort of question did appear; something like “just how mind-blowing must the complete truth be?” The answer I guess is: infinitely. Literally was about to get in bed to sleep and then flash... life-story nearly ended, it seems. A bright side that “I’m” seeing (i.e. that I seem to probably be making up, even though probability isn’t real...) is this could be viewed as “real me waking up.” I find that comforting.

There isn’t “an” anything ?
