You're not exactly wrong, but this indicates to me that you haven't read everything Cutler wrote on forums; onibasu. You should do the rounds as long as you can stand, within reason. 72 hours is the absolute bare minimum. Children can maybe get away with as little as 60-64, but 72++ is far more effective and has less risk of actually causing net-damage over net-healing. It's simple: The longer the rounds, the less times/events you have to let blood levels fall, relative to the total duration spent on-cycle. Every time you let blood levels fall, you redistribute mercury throughout tissues -- an unavoidable but damaging process... You want to minimize the number of repetitions you do of this (cessation; falling blood levels), relative to the total duration of time spent with steadily elevated blood levels of the chelator(s). For exactly this reason, 2 week rounds were often recommended by Cutler, though he did indicate that many can only handle shorter 3-10 day rounds, especially young children. Regardless, time-off should equal time-on as a matter of safety, though it isn't a hard and fast rule by any means, given what Cutler has stated on forums. There are some rather "maverick" ways to do it as well, but that's not what I'm referring to here.

Just looked the guy up... ? ?

^^ So hard that you made up psychedelics in the first place as an excuse to somehow believe you aren't tripping balls when you don't take them.

By love I basically just mean "no need," not something special -- and truth does not need anything (that's an attempt to describe truth). So unconditional love = uncaused lack of need (that's another attempt to describe truth). Etc... Truth has no need to be described; Love has no need to be described.

You're speaking of being more or less conscious. Becoming more conscious means having progressive mystical experiences that allow the ego to transcend limitations. When all those limitations are transcended, there's no ego left. And no mystical experiences. "Ego" of the sort that dies with ego death is merely ignorance of the truth of no-separation.

Yes, that's my point! The word "love" is just a label, not something real that has qualities lol. So yes referring to Truth or true nature as "love" can be misleading, but not more misleading than anything else -- for instance, "unconditional love" / "love" / "everything" / "nothing" / "real unreal" / "dazzling dark" / "empty fullness" / "this" / "God" / "nothing happening" / "still movement" arguably points less wrongly than something like "ecstasy" or... "table." Unconditional freedom/love/beauty/peace/etc... Whatever. It means nothing anyway. Sometimes I like to say this is the big bang being the big crunch, not as something real, but only as a pointer to the truth that there is no time or separation or birth or death.

Sure, describing truth is impossible, but words like beauty, love, and intelligence can arise (yes dependent on the finite mind) but the word is not actually referring to anything that exists. You think love is a description. It is... but then the description is obviously not the truth. When I say love I mean nothing -- and not even that. Happiness is love (nothing), suffering is love (nothing).

There is no separation of any kind at all. All there is, is all there is. There's only full acceptance (not as some thing). Even not-accepting is accepted fully.

You can't. That's the point. It's undefined, just like truth. Love just means no separation / nothing mattering.

Yes the "infinite love experience" is an experience. But what I refer to as love is not what you're referring to. You're referring to a love that accepts everything to an extremely high degree. When love accepts fully (which is already the case), there's no one experiencing that love -- cessation. Impersonal love is not an experience.

These could be conceived of as valuable: The body is liberated from the tyranny of the me. The me is liberated from the need to defend what doesn't belong to it -- the body always seeks safety, but it's not your (someone's) body. Existential questions no longer perturb the innate peace of being. But pointing out there's no me is an inefficient method for awakening, and indeed not intended as a method. It has its place, but from the perspective of the message of no me, listening to the message is equally as useless as anything else. If you are seeking peace and happiness, you might as well enjoy it; meditate, etc. The only reason to listen to the nonduality message would be entertainment and fun. And when it's just constantly pointed out when people aren't even asking for it, it's probably a useless activity -- for the benefit of the one delivering the message.

When there is no thing or circumstance that should or shouldn’t happen, then there is no place and no time where you should or shouldn’t be. ❤️

Something would need to exist outside of everything for there to be a limitation on it, which is by definition not possible. The map is not the territory anyway though. There’s no ultimate limit and in fact it is inconceivable that there is one unless you just ignore the word ultimate.

1. Okay, so... Love is the only thing that accepts everything (itself) fully. 2. Truth is the only thing that accepts everything (itself) fully. Both true? If yes, then love = truth. Not personal love — impersonal, unconditioned love.

Probably. Personal love. Didn't watch it but I'd imagine that's what he meant.

Still can’t get over how true the Drake and Josh theme song is ?

Desires like “wanting to eat this” still appear in liberation. But it’s then just a desire, not a need. Maybe we mean the same thing overall but mean different things by the word desire — in the way I think of desire, all desires coming to an end would basically imply that getting chased by a tiger would not be followed by running-away ? — that would still happen. Desires and aversions of the body are no longer holding happiness ransom, that’s all. Nothing is personal.

@taotemu Yes, but it’s the hope/desire for something better/greater which ends (simply because it’s not needed) — desires still happen, as they too are an essential part of the aforementioned perfection.

Wise; ^^ that is true in a sense — but get this, it is for that reason that the real power comes with the ability to produce as much joy (or bliss; peace; etc) as you want at any time. You don’t need to maintain anything! Also, there’s wholesome joy that has no cost in the way you describe — in fact it invigorates you further. And the following may be a bit harder to accept: even the lows can be appreciated and even enjoyed, in a way, for what they are, basically every bit as much as the highs.

? Yeah a while back I went like a whole year of basically never even listening to music while driving alone — I’d just listen to one of those 2 channels, a meditation audiobook, or dharmaseed, etc. Utterly engulfed in spirituality ? And I did a whole lot of driving too!

? I also like to view the mazes as all fitting together perfectly — and the apparent divide between every instance of any two of them is nothing more than the exact same singular “intention” (Goodness). So there’s no separation at all.

Obviously, by definition. But I was directly answering your question, not making a general claim; you entirely misunderstood my point: Imagine being so imperturbably happy, at peace, and overflowing with causeless joy, that you no longer dream of wasting time thinking about getting more of it, since at any time, you can have as much of it as you want. If you think that’s not possible, well you’re simply about as far off as you could possibly be. Happiness is your nature and your birthright. Q: "...what's the percentage of progress you made in this grand project..." A: Immeasurably vast; total. If you are uninterested in as much bliss as you want, any time you want it, that's perfectly fine -- I can totally understand and respect that. Maybe you genuinely don't care about it, and that seriously is great! But IF the only reason you're uninterested is that you believe it's not possible for you? Well, all I'm doing is suggesting that's simply a false belief.

Two manifestations of paths, abbreviated: A. recognize true nature and then allow that to dissolve egoic habits over a course of (usually) several years, or B. dissolve egoic habits over a course of (also usually) several years until true nature is unavoidably recognized.

True! But there’s also no me to have its own nonexistence in the first place.

Which is literally precisely the reason there’s no suggestion that one should do something other than seek — that would assume someone could either do that or not do that.
