it would be better to say that reality is a mind that can imagine everything. what the mind imagines is the same as the mind, that is, it is a form of the mind. If the mind does not imagine anything, it is nothing, but it is. it's you. then, the absolute is you. immutable because it is always you. mutable because you constantly change shape

I had that experience many times with 5 meo and for me it's horrible, death abyss, until i realized that it's another experience and that's it. The question would be, why this actual experience seems finite? How? That's very difficult to understand. I saw in a psychedelic trip that the thing is that now and always the infinity is the case, but by a trick of, shall we say, engineering, we are limited to something like blinders on a donkey that only lets us see exactly this. if you remove the blinders, with a psychedelic for example, infinity manifests itself. so right now the infinite is infinitely fragmented. but is this so? who knows, probably not.

imagine infinite sounds playing right now. We cannot imagine it, but being infinite, multiplied by infinite infinitely, would be absolute silence. and the same if you listen to absolute silence or realize absolute nothingness, it automatically opens up and manifests itself as the flow of infinite "things". the quality that you say must be immutable is the infinite quality, and to capture it you have to do 5 meo in my opinion. infinity is god, it is total plenitude, total love, and at the same time total emptiness and zero. since this cannot be understood by a linear mind that dissects and defines, it is necessary to break that mind with 5meo Yes but there is not observer and objects, that's the thing, just the infinity experiencing itself, seeming that there is a subject and an object. If you observe yourself, where is the subject and the object? Are the same

The thing by being infinite, change is the same as no change. The absolute void, due to its lack of limits, its infinity, manifests itself as the totality of all possible possibilities, and here we are. Apparently.

Id say that absolute means that which has no opposite, which has no "other", which has no exterior because it encompasses everything, that is, the infinite. infinity contains all possible changes, silence and noise. is in infinite change, because if it were stiff, it would mean that it's limited

Yes but the silence is just another experience. The only thing with the silence is that it's easier to realize the infinity, the bottomless, the total potential, but it's also in the noise. The non dual teachers, when they tell that there's something beyond the experience are creating a duality. where is that? hiding behind the scenes? The thing is much simpler I would say. look inside yourself, there is no bottom. Right now, you are, and you are the experience that happens. eternally in motion. the absolute is this, since only the absolute exists. the only problem is that because of the conceptual mind the absolute becomes confusing and unpleasant, but the conceptual mind is also the absolute. the conceptual mind must relax so that the experience is not an unpleasant madness, since it is not fun, and nothing more

Yes but it could be also argued if there is the sky, or just the direct experience of the sky. there is really nothing objective, and the only absolute is the experience that always is. To say that something is cloudy or clear really means to have one experience or the other. You could argue that the difference is that when it's clear there's no subject and object, and there are not limits, there's unity and infinity, but when it's cloudy there aren't either, it just seems so, so we're talking about states that you, the one who has the experience, who really doesn't have, but you are , experience.

Depending of de definition of state. for example could be said that be drunk is a state, be sober another state. But it also could be said that be sober isn't a state, is the real thing, and be drunk, or stone, or of mushrooms are states.

Yes but it's difficult, because you can misunderstand, be superstitious, those things, and obstacles always appear and must be overcome. For example, my experience in business is that at first things flow in an almost mystical way, but then a truly challenging, seemingly insurmountable obstacle appears, and that's where the balance will tip one way or the other. in the current business I'm in, we'll see...so far I'm having moderate luck. analyzing each fluctuation, each movement of the flow, to see if the usual blockage does not appear In my opinion, the key of everything is deep understanding.

Yeah yeah but the op has come here with absolute sincerity and humility, and you answer him condescendingly and being smartass, I agree with @Jowblob that he deserves more respect

Today I saw a guy sitting on the street begging. His face was completely burned, without nose or ears. When I gave him money, he made a grateful noise that indicated that he almost couldn't speak. I thought about trying to communicate with him, but I didn't. I can't imagine his loneliness and his pain. But even in that case it's possible to experience the heaven on earth. very difficult, but possible.

It is very important to read the signs that life sends you, know how to interpret them, and be flexible. the essential thing is to really know what you have to do, where you have to concentrate your strength, and do it. It has to be a total inspiration, without a doubt. and then see if reality is flowing in your direction. everything is a matter of reading reality, rather than strength

@PataFoiFoi my opinion (which may be wrong but since you ask for it I give it) what happens to you is that you have been swimming against the current. You have made the archetype of entrepreneurial success yours, and you have wanted to materialize your ideal, when you have not really looked within yourself to know what your path really is. you have played a game that is not yours and nothing has flowed. My advice is to stop, stop thinking, forget about the future. Look inside, discover who you are. do meditation retreats, whatever it takes, the time that's necessary.

That's speculation and it is something empty and meaningless. If you want to be successful, you don't have to focus on winning over anyone, but on giving your best to contribute in the most positive way possible. As long as you don't have this focus, work will be a curse.

understanding is the key to spirituality. Imagine a teenager who sees the world in terms of being better or worse than everyone else, completely materialistic and superficial. that is his understanding. for him that is the world, but this does not mean that the world is like that. If his understanding increases, he will see that human relationships go deeper, how people mix with others, how a parent's personality affects a child's psyche. He was subjected to all these tides before, but he did not understand it. now he sees, a new dimension opens in him, his mind widens in depth and breadth. maybe later he will understand that the others are him, and how he is creating this multicolored dance at this exact moment. That there is only inside, and outside don't exist even as a concept. this understanding will bring down another wall, and his psyche will once again increase in depth and breadth. the limits are moving away until they disappear. now there are no limits, but he has only begun to understand. each phase of understanding is difficult to overcome, since before the barrier that prevented you from seeing fell, you did not know what you were looking for. maybe you close yourself thinking that you have already understood everything, or that there is nothing to understand. Bullshit, you've only just begun. let's move on, penetrating into the beauty of reality

that is a negative definition of enlightenment which is true, but there is also a positive definition, which is realizing what you really are, for the first time in your human life. In my opinion it is extremely difficult for this to happen without psychedelics, and there is a lot of discussion here and people will soon come to say that this is a hoax, etc. enlightenment is to become infinite, without a trace of any limit, and to recognize yourself as the eternal that always is, what you forgot but it is totally obvious and always was and will be, and after that to realize that the relative in what you live is really the absolute, exactly, without the slightest difference. So I think that it can be said that they are states. as you have explained well, cloudy, limited, and unlimited state. But it's always you, the existence.

I think that everything is a state. your mind is the infinite mind, only in an apparently finite state. all apparent limitations can be broken and access to an infinite state. It is the same mind, it is a different state.

Yeah, we all add layers of fear and repression as we grow up, as we do so surrounded by fear and repression. now the job is to see it, understand it, unravel the knot. It is not easy, field work is often required. If we don't do, our energetic patterns are going to be always unhealthy, and this can cause physical sickness

Id say that for the first time in your adult life you have relaxed control over yourself. As children we add layers of control caused by fear, especially fear of rejection, until we go through life stiff and tense, repressed, without realizing it. without flowing, reaisting. It is incredible that we do not get sick after many years like this. what has happened to you is that for the first time you are free.

Well, If humans wouldn't exist, the suffering of other beings would be quite moderate. most of their time they live in a state of happiness and fulfillment. when they get sick, or are eaten by other animals, they suffer a short time and die. instead humans suffer by default and cause suffering and destruction to everything they touch

Yes of course, same as everyone, but I'm sure that you know it's not something easy that anyone could do at will. in fact, it is extremely difficult, more difficult than anything else. 99.9999% of people will never in their life even come close to a momentary opening, to a mystical experience. it is something extremely rare. What in your specific case is something that occurs spontaneously? ok, millions of circumstances since your birth, or before, have made that happen. if one of them had been different, it would not have happened. so what options are there? psychedelics work, they open the door to the absolute. then it closes. we are pioneers, no one had used psychedelics like this. in the time of ram dass and huxcley there was no 5meo. little nuance right? huge difference. We will see the result of this. what is obvious is that for many it is the only possible way of real openness and understanding. used with true intelligence and intuition we will see where it leads

Man, this is a forum for people who want to go deep, serious spirituality. Why are you trying to turn this into something depressing? go to forchan or some place like that. I find it sad to see the drift of this forum, frustrated people trolling, people posting because are bored, each time lower level.

Why you say that? Just a feeling? Because here we are to explain our assessments. Not just to expell our negativity and our bitterness dirtying conversations and denigrating everyone. That type of people is called toxic, and I would say that you are one. It is a kind of people that should be kept away

yeah man, sorry if i was rude, but I don't see the point in intervening just to annoy

Your previous nickname was batman right? Don't fool yourself, it's not the place, it's you, who tends to negativity. there is a lot of positive in this site, at least it is tried. control your tendency, life is difficult
