There is no death of the ego but restructuring of the ego to make it transparent. We call ego the conscious psychological structure of space-time and our body, our place in society, our options for survival and reproduction. This is real and if it dies, for example in cases of advanced Alzheimer's, you do not achieve any special realization, only become mentally retarded.

the issue of dimensions...there seem to be infinite dimensions of a single reality, but all of them are circumstantial. Let's say that they are different clothes with which reality dresses. The moment you realize that what is circumstantial clothing and what is reality now bottomless, you realize that you and I as bottomless reality are exactly the same, but not the same in another dimension, but in this dimension, and at the same time two different forms that overlap creating a mirage of form. I don't know to what extent you can see this clearly because is not linear , it doesn't fit exactly with the mechanics of the human mind, but you can see it out of the corner of your eye. In the moment that you try to define it logically you loose it because: where are the others forms now? Why I can't see them? The thing is that who ask this is the form, then, for the form the others forms are separated In short, the hard and subtle work of detaching yourself from the form. The form will always be there, but we have to get rid of it and perceive it as clothing, not as essence, then we can understand what is reality.

At first it seems like a very strange idea that something exists, and that you exist, but if you contemplate it it is obvious. There are no limits, so the depth of reality, which is this exact moment, is total. Being total, reality inevitably arises, and reality is exactly you, this is the point that must be seen. The first time you realize this may be horrible because you see yourself as a prisoner in eternity, and alone, but the fact that the depth total changes this perception completely, you are not a prisoner because nothing limits you, and you are not alone because you are not defined, limited. You could say that existence is an instant that does not pass in time, since it has no limits, it does not go from one point to another point, but it is now. Its hypothetical limits would be nothing, but nothing is nothing, therefore those hypothetical limits do not exist, you cannot reach them or come from them, so here and now, you always are. The challenge is not to understand this, but to perceive it, to perceive yourself.

When they say that reality is empty, or is nothing, they mean that it is imaginary, or mental, but I think that does not make sense, since even imaginary is something, imaginary is the same as real. you can say that forms are impermanent, but they exist as forms, therefore they are something. a thought is something, even an empty mind is something. There is always something: existence, therefore, nothing does not exist, it never existed nor will it exist, not even as a concept, it is the opposite of the absolute, it is the anti absolute.

nothingness does not exist, because it would be limited to nothing. If there are no limits, at a given moment, there is something, and then something else, and in the end there is everything

I don't know, but what is sure is that I still have karma. Anyway, I have had much deeper experiences with microdosing than vaping 25 mg of 5meo. I think that experiences with psychedelics have a component of deception, since they are very forced, there is a lot of resistance broken by a substance that continues to resist by changing its form, subtly. If you microdose and meditate for two hours, the opening is natural. The drug helps, it softens, but it doesn't break like a bomb. Anyway, I have never done high doses of LSD, like 600 ug. I want to try that anyday

Before I always had incredible insight with psychedelics, mushrooms, 5meos, LSD, each time it was a new vision, but now what happens is simply a kind of void in which reality flows. I can vape 50mg of DMT, which is the same as 5meo, or LSD, empty and fluid, nothing more, no insight, no hallucination, nothing"divine". The only thing that works for me is taking microdoses of LSD and one or two puffs of weed and meditating long time. The meditation is deeper, and on many occasions, the opening is total, the absolute right behind this experience. Anyway, doing DMT or 5meo, even it's not mystical anymore, seems that makes the barriers bit softer, but other times it only brings a kind of tense vibration, then I'm doing less and less. Maybe the way is stopping it and in some months try again, but really I like the feeling of the psychedelic, not to get understanding or opening, just to make my psyche softer, not so rigid

I think it's for ever. It is a loud sound, for example if I am listening to music with the headphones at high volume, it can be heard clearly. I've gotten used to it, it's the sound of life 😅

What is a mind? Just a movement of reality. Reality always is, then you could call it as you want, the only difference is the state. If you prefer call it no mind instead than silent mind, ok, but the only difference is the movement, the karma. It's extremely difficult to remove the movement, you could do it for 2 minutes, but then it starts again because there are a lot of triggers, for example, that your son get sick. Then, being absolutely enlightened, out of the karma, is a extremely difficult thing, when life and death are the same for you. All the human genetics is yelling to you to move, to suffer. Some of us has a special karma, use to be like obsessive movement of suffering, then you realize that you are in a trap and you try to be free of it, and sometimes you achieve it, then you are again in, you have to be quite smart to really understand deeply what is the trap, how human mind works, then little by little you get openings, pure unlimited present, the heaven. Then you realize that you already are in the heaven but you are creating the hell, and that this is karma, you can't stop doing it at will, but you can realize it, then little by little you achieve more open moments when you realize what you are, the openess, the totality. First a couple of seconds, then more, then some while every day, etc. So it's a state at the end.

A silent mind is still a mind, and a infinite you is still a you. Enlightenment is the liberation of the movement, the opening to the absolute now, and this is a mental state. You could be in enlightened state, and 10 min later lost in the mind. In fact it's how it works.

Enlightenment is a word that describes a mental state.

Enlightenment is the end of karma, it is being here and now absolutely, without the movement that the mind creates. Psychedelics make this possible to be glimpsed by changing the structure of the mind in subtle ways, but never the totally enlightened, it always has a component of deception, even so, if you are smart they can make you understand what you are, how you are causing the movements, what are the triggers in you that inevitably trigger it. It is very difficult to get out of the wheel of karma, at least in most cases. but if you understand the mechanism, you can go out for short periods. then it catches you again

Nice tale, seems that make happy some people, same than all the other religions. People needs logical tales to be grounded and happy , but it doesn't mean that they are true

If that were the case, and you reached a state of total consciousness, you could fly, make planets disappear, create other universes, etc. and it seems that no one can even move a candle flame with their mind

As I see it now, the ego, the separation, is the way that reality has to go deeper into itself. The deeper the division, the deeper reality dive in itself. Pain, suffering, sadness, are really tools of opening that reality creates to dive deeper and thus be able to create more complete, complex, refined, sublime forms. It is something like cell division, reality is divided into two, but they are the same, it creates a kind of psychosis that is the seed of new forms. the necessary pain of childbirth, from which perfection springs.

I think sadhguru simply says that the ego dissolves and enlightenment is achieved, where the individual disappears and reality remains. existence continues, but without the self/other duality, which is the illusion that is created by karma. once this occurs, the following cycles of existence are non-dual, without the contraction of the self. It would be said that consciousness evolves in infinite parallels with different contents. An inevitable quality of infinity is that everything is infinite, that is, this experience is complete infinity, but there are infinitely many parallel experiences in all directions and they all evolve infinitely. In this human dimension we all share the illusion of duality and little by little some are forced to abandon it. All this seems to be a movement of the infinite to create a more conscious experience of itself, for which it must be divided to become aware of its division, and from there it can become aware of its unity. Without the previous division, existence is unconscious of itself in this deep level, it needs division and suffering to gain depth and then dissolve the division to continue evolving infinitely, without the unpleasant illusory duality necessary at this stage. After this, there will be countless and unimaginable processes dictated by infinite intelligence to which consciousness will submit to follow its infinite movement.

The structure of reality is so amazing that seems impossible. A proton is an entity of unimaginable complexity, incredibly stable, but also cyclical. The intelligence of reality only has one limit: perfection

It's not a transcendentalist trap, It is realizing what you are without getting lost in the form. The form absorbs you, obviously it exists and is something, it can be a human, an alien, a cockroach or whatever, but beyond the form is the absolute, your true self, eternal, immutable. You can realize it, its face is behind everything, you can open your eyes and see it, see yourself. This does not mean that you understand absolutely anything, nor why things happen, the forms, what will happen when this form disappears.... but you can see your true face and open your heart to it, to you. there are no several aspects, the aspects are form, and obviously are many, but the absolute is formless, always the same, its light always present

You can try to force yourself a little, 3, 4 day intensive meditation retreats without a phone in the nature for example, then return to the city, and your tendency will become clearer with time

You are a sommelier of the minds

Normal, we are humans, not plants. Within our facets the social pushes strongly. Thousands of genetic triggers make different springs spring. There are people, like Ramana Maharshi and those, who do not have that genetic compulsion, but most of us have to finding our place in human society, which is quite difficult. It is a software from which you cannot escape, any attempt at evasion, in my opinion, takes you to a deeper and more complicated prison. It is better to look your desire in the face and materialize it. As Muhammad said, Leave the things of which you doubt for the things in which there is no doubt. It's simple, just listen yourself. Maybe your destiny is being a true ascetic in communion with nature.

Exactly, everything is memory. layers and layers of memory. I suppose that gravity and nuclear forces will be memory of other dimensions or universes. Your experience right now is the memory of countless past lives, from bacteria to this moment. I do not see that it is necessary to get out of the wheel, since when you manage to get out of the oppression of the evaluative mind and free yourself, you realize that this is neither more nor less the paradise. Creation is wonderful, but it is hidden behind a mask of negativity that drives the movement. spirituality is unlocking those phases and opening the code. a difficult work, but possible

This is a weird point. I do use psychedelics, but in increasingly lower doses. Yesterday I was meditating some hours with 15 ug of LSD, and I really perceived with total clarity how consciousness was hiding from itself in the human tapestry. Behind all the color I clearly perceived the immensity, and that was me. the immensity smiled, it is permanently joyful, and it wants this game. How to say that something that wants something, and that has an attribute such as being joyful, or infinitely intelligent, is nothing? there is still identification there it seems. But in another hand, if the infinite intelligence were indifferent, there would be nothing. But maybe there is something because the absence of limitations of the reality, it's inevitable, and "god" is just the existence balancing the inevitable flow. Because, if not, why you or anyone can't change anything, even when you are totally identified with the absolute? Why are you, leo, anyone powerless, and god omnipotent, if you are god?

Behave in this present world as if you had to live forever, and behave in the future world as if you had to die tomorrow Muhammad Sink your existence in the ground of darkness, because if the seed is not buried, it does not produce in abundance. Ibn Atâillâh Leave the things of which you doubt for the things in which there is no doubt, Muhammad.

There is not human conciousness, there is human form. Conciousness is always conciousness, and it's infinite. Or maybe do you think that the conciousness of a cockroach is less infinite than the conciousness of a human, or of an Alien? If you think so, you are confusing conciousness with form, then it would mean that you don't understand what conciousness is, but I think you do There is not human conciousness, there is conciousness of a human. Same that could be conciousness of a cockroach. But the point here is to perceive what conciousness is, not what the human is. The human is deep, unfathomable, same than the cockroach, but the point is not just perceive the human, is conciousness perceiving itself
