How could there be life after death, when life is death? Not that there isn't life after death in that sense... The more relevant question: how could there be liberation as opposed to no-liberation if there's only liberation? You talking about something other than that in the story?

Infinite Love is looked upon so highly here... It's not good; it's Good; simply all there is. If a human here were to closely embody infinite love they might get killed. Not only in the highly developed world, but by some of the members on here. Yeah yeah hyperbolic and offensive, I know. You probably won't be hearing that from me again for a long time lol

'Searching is of two sorts, I tell you, deva-king: to be pursued & not to be pursued.' Thus was it said. And in reference to what was it said? When one knows of a search, 'As I pursue this search, unskillful mental qualities increase, and skillful mental qualities decline,' that sort of search is not to be pursued. When one knows of a search, 'As I pursue this search, unskillful mental qualities decline, and skillful mental qualities increase,' that sort of search is to be pursued.

@Javfly33 Nice, but about that last part: that’s just putting a barrier between current circumstance and future life full-on as you want it to be, when there does not need to be a barrier. The ego can’t fall away in that way because there isn’t one.

Pointer: De-Liberation Perhaps: gain some momentum and let it flow. Fall out of life flat-out completely empty by paradoxically falling head-on completely full into it. Maybe even utilize LOA. Aaron Abke has great series’ on it.

^^ Definitely. For me it was when I was probably about 2 years old and had the realization that I had to go to the doctor every year to get a painful booster shot (vaccination/etc) and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. This realization of inevitable suffering prompted me to look at my hands and say (for what reason I don’t really know) out loud: “It’s just... ME.” That was the dawning of self-awareness for this psyche, or perhaps a few months after its subtle beginnings.

Nice. Just a nitpick though; bear with me: pay close attention in/after sleep, perhaps requiring the boosted consciousness on a meditation retreat or something, and you'll find... You are not unconscious even in the deepest sleep. You merely have near-total memory suppression (a type of ego-death). When you wake up, you can subtly tell if you were in deep sleep for a long while, or a short time. On the other hand, have you ever had an operation with deep anesthesia? That is actually total unconsciousness. The very instant you lose consciousness is the exact instant you regain consciousness. You could be out for years and it would be like instantaneously time travelling into the future from your perspective. i.e. for the thought experiment to be as accurate as possible, replace deep sleep with deep anesthesia. Cool insight though! However... Beware of solipsism!

I too find N,N-DMT to be a bit weird. Very alien, but not nearly as alien as miprocin! Miprocin (4-HO-MiPT) is synthetic, but it surely must be naturally found in a fungus on some other planet -- I literally believe that conclusion will basically be inevitable to nearly anyone who tries it! Lol! It's like the most organic experience... just not organic from planet Earth... LSD and 5-MeO-DMT are the best hands down ime/imo for insight and ego-dissolution. N,N-DMT is just a straight up mindfuck. As far as sinister? At this point I've realized that sinister feelings are quite correlated to the number and strength of hidden unfalsifiable beliefs currently held. With enough total awakening, sinister is nowhere to be found. But when it still happened, ime ketamine was the most sinister -- as if if takes you to the same place as 5meo...but from the opposite direction.

It’s all unconditioned.

At death it will be recognized that one's life never happened the way one thought. It won't be over for anyone. Levels of consciousness is a powerful construct.

Yeah. Incarnation = forgetting = remembering In twisting the knot of separation, you forgot that this is exactly what you most wanted. There's no one else. But there's no one to remember that. Yet, what I was trying to say can't be spoken. Ever.

Why wouldn’t there be? There’s nothing limiting that tendency.

The I (and consciousness) in everyone is the same. There is no one who is either connected to nor separate from what appears.

Nah, he’s correct. But so are you. Connection is just separation with a cherry on top. There doesn’t need to be “someone who is detached” helping others as there isn’t anyone to help and it’s all love anyway. Kindness just happens, for no reason.

5-MeO-DMT fumarate salt is best used rectally or intranasally right?

^^ Nice. Try this out in the midst of activity, no less. I went through that phase. It was quite surreally awesome yet ordinary. Neither action nor inaction. Kind of like a full-modal animated play, complete with everything -- happening automatically, including the apparent past, the sensation of gravity (which was felt very differently from normal as if floating), and everything. Very interesting and weird at times. In fact, it's still kind of like that. Sorta... Actually, it's almost more like being a tree or a rock or something! lol ... with regard to "something really happening" or "something that I am," anyway, which are both nowhere to be found.

^^ real

Care less, but not too little. Balance. When women say they just want a nice guy, what they really mean is: the badasses they're attracted to could stand to be more kind -- that's true. You have to realize that no one can complete you, and you're equally capable of happiness alone vs being with someone. Might sound cliché, but a divine relationship has little to no need or even specialness to it. Seems like you might already know this, but yeah.

It's apparently limited, but only to a limited identification, necessarily. It's a story, but what you are at a higher level of identification has limitless potential.

^^ That certainly can happen. DP/DR is not associated or related to enlightenment in any way. DP/DR involves an apparent individual experiencing the centerlessness/voidness of perception in their awareness. Enlightenment is just centerlessness/voidness full-stop -- which is of course already the case, but not for anyone.

Pursuing enlightenment is the waste. Pursuing life purpose is a waste that isn't really a waste. Nothing and everything in life is important. Getting enlightened isn't something that happens -- the experience that it hasn't yet happened ends... but doesn't really end because it's simply the end of the experience that things/circumstances are happening and there's someone aware of things or doing things. That usually is preceded by no longer caring about getting enlightened and being content with it never actually happening -- and that's indeed exactly what happens (it doesn't really happen, and certainly doesn't happen to you). Looking at a screen is no longer apparently covered over by knowing I'm looking at a screen -- looking at a screen, memories, the past, moments in time, the universe, and everything else is just what apparently happens -- blindly itself, as the causeless big bang itself. There's no one and nothing's happening. That's it, but it's just this, already.

He may have realized love in such complete fashion that he doesn’t feel the need to reify it as some “thing.” It’s just a theory, but it seems clear to me it could be the case since he states many times that “wrong” is impossible— that’s basically unconditional love.

Only truth will survive. Or maybe... nothing will. Go ahead and see. Enlightenment is not some “thing” that one can reach.

1. Authenticity 2. Simplicity 3. Lack of unfalsifiable beliefs and claims 4. Humility (by far)

There's no way to know that this universe didn't just begin now with a complete apparent history and memories.
