Turn away from them as well. Any experience is not what you’re looking for, so turn away from every experienced object no matter how subtle — either by turning toward the knower or by relaxing all voluntary intention except for the intention to do just that, ignoring all experience/thought/objects in the process. You’re basically getting attention out of the way... So that the insight engine of metacognitive awareness can prevail. In the end, it’s not the objects nor any mental or “figuring-out” process that matters, it’s the progressive lack of all of those until nothing is left, then holding that transcendent state patiently, faithfully (perhaps even longingly), and repeatedly — aiming to effortlessly hold this “pure subjectivity” (which feels really fucking good), which is revealed to actually be a special type of object. It’s very conducive for getting into gnarly meditative states, including Witnessing (Akilesh calls it the spacious mind; Rob Burbea calls it the Vastness of Awareness; Shinzen calls it the figure-ground reversal), which itself can actually be used for God-realization without psychedelics — it’s highly unlikely you’ll become God-realized without psychedelics, but if any non-chemical methods can work for the purpose of God-realization, it’s likely a very short list, and Witnessing is on it.

Death of the body? That's imaginary. This is already death. There is no after. It's a dream that bodies die -- this dream is for the illusion to seem real and meaningful. Simple as that. You're avoiding this by imagining that it has purpose and that it will lead to a future where you can both have questions answered, and not die.

^^ Meditation is probably not the best thing right now.

The pages just appear. And they can appear contextual / as part of a story. As for why we have memory... Well, there's no real why, but how else would you be able to fool yourself into thinking you're someone? Memory reifies time which reifies experience of reality.

Infinity. That's all. It can appear as anything, including the imagination of what it would be like to be conscious of some "thing" if it were possible for the infinite to know the finite (which is of course impossible).

Perhaps try The Mind Illuminated system and self inquiry (or just turning away from all experience indiscriminately to find out what's beyond experience). And at least 45 minutes a day. 30 min won't always cut it for insight and especially not Jhanas.

It was just an experience. A very exalted one it seems. Perhaps jhanic. Or (it’s just a cute story, totally, but), maybe you just glanced in the “direction” of emptiness or even unconditional love, which started to evaporate your ego, and then you looked away to continue surviving.

What was revealed... Seeker: no one is saying this, and no one is being spoken to, but... The only reason this enlightenment/paradise is perhaps not apparent over there (i.e. you are experiencing being on a path, or even experiencing any circumstance at all), is because you don’t want this enlightenment/paradise. It just simply is that way. So you can relax. Though of course, not really. It is good news though -- if you don't want enlightenment, you don't even have to have it! So this is already liberation even if it's not apparent! What else is there to say? Just became damn obvious. Edit: It was also revealed that this is obvious in every case of apparent liberation.

I’m not sure but this concept is recognized in medicine — they use EDTA or DMSA (double thiol), not NAC (single thiol)

It appears to be an experience.

There is no experience here. This is not the time and place to worry about that though. You’re on a roll ? ❤️

? Sounds like a beautiful view! (Not saying it’s a dream.) ❤️

But so does Leo point to it... and Leo is imaginary... you see? ? Tell me you see that!? This is big.

Wow your mind is open! Just keep on doing what you’re doing man. ❤️

@EntheogenTruthSeeker That was a great fucking response from him, wasn’t it! ❤️

That’s literally exactly the appearance here ❤️

? ? ?

@Consilience lol I didn’t say that oh nvm you were talking to him sry

@EntheogenTruthSeeker The appearance has no bounds. Anything can happen. But it happens for no reason at all. [1] happening for (or in order to achieve) [2] is how the experience lives on. It’s just an appearance. Complete and utter freedom. For nothing. For Christ. Something happening for nothing means something happening is not something that happens. Now that is a miracle.

It’s all just an appearance, but enjoy it while it lasts ?? But really, there is nothing wrong with that. Jesus can certainly apparently play a role in all kinds of awakenings. Keep on keepin’ on! It seems like this is happening for something, right? Well, in apparent liberation, it’s recognized that it doesn’t. This happens for nothing. Sound bleak? Well, it’s actually where the freedom is. No bounds. Endless. You could think of that nothing as Christ if it makes you feel any better, but even that is not required.

Even if “you stop thinking,” you’ll still have the subtle thought of moving through time. When you stop thinking even that, you don’t even stop thinking, as there wasn’t anything there in the first place that could stop: It’s recognized by no one that there was never anything going on, much less “thinking,” in the first place... So there was nothing there that could stop. Certainly no “one” who thinks. Thinking is just what appears. Someone thinking = experience = illusion You never are thinking. You experience that you are thinking. But there is only everything or what apparently happens, appearing as anything, including thinking; experience; awareness; meditation; chair; sitting; door; food; bed; seeing a tree; love; agony; fun; anger; interest; passion... everything.

^^ OP, your ideas about Christ are not Christ. What you refer to as Jesus, is something you made up. Not even that; it just appears.

Neither here. It seemed to happen in the past though. Mostly with psychedelics. The knowing that apparently faded yesterday was not associated with any substances whatsoever. I no longer believe that psychedelics, nor anything else for that matter, have any power for making liberation apparent.
