The0Self

Internal voice is just a thought. But competition of the internal voice is the problem, hiding the underlying bliss. For instance, when I was an active addict nearing early recovery, I would search my drawers for pills that I'd forgotten about or dropped (I had tons of opioid medication just laying around and I threw it all away when I quit, but there was always a bit more left over that had gotten lost -- I had tons and tons of painkillers in my drawers at one point lol). Anyway, all the while, I was literally simultaneously looking for the pill (to crush it and snort it through a straw), WHILE seriously hoping to NOT find it. If I found it (happened several times), the feeling was "fuck; dammit," and if I did NOT find it (also actually happened several times), the resulting feeling was THANK GOD. That's the state of addiction, but it relates to all manifestations of competing desires -- basically the state of "not being at peace." Addiction as described above is simply a rather intense manifestation of it -- most people have it in other ways... uncertainty; confusion; not trusting their own power; etc. Really it manifests all the time to some degree, IF you think you're a separate individual. This competition of desires can be stilled with intensive meditation, and when they stop, an enormous amount of energy is released -- this is what "Kundalini awakening" is -- overwhelming exhilaration that makes you want to shake people and say "HAVE YOU EVER FUCKING TRIED MEDITATION? IT'S INCREDIBLE!" etc... (of course that's just a stage; almost a bit manic, but very lucid).

Had very good success in this with meditation myself. Contemplation, understanding, experimenting with ways/lenses of viewing experience, Metta, etc. Also self inquiry a la Ramana Maharshi worked very well. The jhanas are almost as mystical as it gets, especially the formless jhanas. They do not require any psychedelic experience — though I can’t really say that for sure because when I manifested them for the first time, I had already used plenty of psychedelics.

If you’re dead set on not using psychedelics for now, 2 of the best teachers I know of for that type of path are Rob Burbea and Bentinho Massaro.

But have you actually tried 5-MeO? I’ll be the first to say, cannabis can be an extremely powerful entheogen. But compared to 5-MeO, DPT, ketamine, and LSD? It’s just not in the same category, nor as versatile for awakenings. If it is as powerful for a particular individual, then meditation would be just as good... Because they’re so highly conscious they can’t get much higher than their “sober” state anyway. That’s not to say cannabis can’t allow you to access states that basically no other entheogen can — that goes for pretty much any substance though, and for God-realization / infinite understanding / timelessness, weed usually doesn’t cut it.

Tons of intense contemplation and intensive meditation. But don’t sell yourself short. I would not limit myself to non-psychedelics, unless you have a good reason. “I can’t find them” simply means you don’t have a strong enough desire for them.

Nice. However, God/Love/Truth is what remains when all things, including all beliefs about God, have passed. The nature of God is that it cannot be believed, nor can it be denied.

It’s not about the reality of the views per se. It’s about having so many radical realizations and subsequent views, that you see the underlying empty-full nature of experience. This, coupled with an awakening to the timeless absolute, can lead to recognizing that your perception of reality is completely interdependent with the way of looking; it’s utterly empty on every level.

Yep, the whole process of how you perceive is lit up as itself. When looking at a cat, you can't tell where "the vision" is happening -- it's an assumption to say it happens in the brain or even at the eyes -- seeing is just seeing. Nothing is hidden -- even the ideas and assumptions of something being hidden is itself clearly not hidden.

1. For goals to still take place but to have no ability of adding anything to one's self since one is already whole. 2. Be ultimately loving of and as all things. 3. To fulfil one's role in the catalysis of global awakening.

Awesome! It's like it's the end of mystical experiences, since all there is, is mystical experience.

Exactly. After this, the desire to know thy Self doesn't just go away, so there is still seeking, in a sense. Only now, it isn't "in order to" fulfil some need based in lack-beliefs.

I used to do this. It was probably the right thing for me at the time, but once the mind was relatively still enough, further music deprivation was seen as a form of denial.

? ?

Righteousness. Exchanging righteousness for union with God.

Precisely for the same reason it appears as any unpleasant thoughts -- to show you they aren't true.

The best psychedelic: realizing that, in your direct experience, you're imagining the entire universe. It's unbelievable, yet at the same time, undeniable... That is in fact what you're doing right now.

When you take full responsibility for everything as God, automatically it becomes obvious: you are innocent. Nothing is believed, yet nothing is denied.

^^ Yes. Might physiology and psychology just be an imaginary distinction? Dealing with things on the physical level is no less (or more) spiritual or righteous than anything else.

Smoking cigars can actually be a nice last ditch effort if one is seriously ungrounded to the point where it's just crazy.

You don’t need to do it. You just do it out of love. For nothing in return.

This is life and death simultaneously. In your direct experience, see this. No one dies, because after death you’re either: dead and know it (not dead), or dead and not know it (not dead). There will not be an experience of nothingness, that’s for sure.

Time is part of the illusion. Death never actually happens. I know that might be impossible to understand, but it's true. Truth never dies.

I had some big breakthroughs recently. When sensation/emotional biases are cleared out, a rather permanent God-mind becomes apparent. It’s like you’re at the edge of other beings’ conscious psycho structure and can co-create exactly what they do since you and they are one. It’s pretty incredible. It may not seem obvious why the clearing of sensation/emotional biases would cause this, but I can explain: when I am no longer emotionally reactive (AT ALL - ineffective if not completely void of emotional reaction!) to a circumstance, I automatically have the ability to tap into the source that is driving everyone who is asleep to act the reaction to that circumstance out robotically, and I then have the capability to directly influence some of that — as in, even the actions of so-called others. It’s like becoming the aware-space around a specific circumstance in the timeless oneness, and since you have no stake, you’re free to co-create, literally as the infinite intelligence, automatically and without any deliberation or effort... and it’s utterly beyond intention! It’s really surrendering not only to infinite love, but also to infinite intelligence. Beyond intention in both cases.

True, but only by allowing it to be so — if he’s as conscious as I presume he is. Allowing oneself suffering in situations that seem to call for it can help to keep a very highly conscious entity grounded and connected and embodied with other beings they interact with and teach.

In a sense there are no past spiritual seekers... Only those who are now sovereign in their own authentic creation.
