Because the ego is a machine of survival. It is a program prepared first to survive at any price, as tribe and then as individual. As soon as you are born you cry, you look for the tit. Tit well/ hunger bad . cold bad/ heat good, acceptance good, rejection bad. these are the zeros and ones of the software, and from there, with the subtleties of social interaction, of language, millions of small good/bad dualities are established, which make up the you, which after all is nothing more than an AI program that learns from itself interacting with millions of others ai creating a huge ai that is the collective ego,and that optimizes the chances of survival and development of the human species

good metaphor, but ralston should know that the vast majority of people live in a place where it is always cloudy. tell them not to take the plane, they better do his waiting method, which will almost certainly only lead them to see some faint lightning, it seems even evil

The realization of the nature of reality is what happens when all the barriers dissapear. this can occur with psychedelics, meditating, or sleeping. you can realize 200 times the absolute and unlimited nature of reality, and each time return to the same old egoic behavior patterns. what's more, you can choose to do it, simply because you like it. Normally, the ego relaxes after each dissolution, but this does not have to be the case. Before you spoke of the horror of rebirth. could you elaborate on it? (The answer is for consilence no for Leo, the sistem changed the names)

realizing the absolute is different than living day by day in harmony. You can realize God and decide to live an egoic and stressed life because you have seen that ultimately, everything is the same, in the end the absolute is and there is nothing else. or prefer a monastic life in harmony realizing the wonder of everything at every moment, or perhaps a middle ground. but, the reality is that if you want your mind to open completely to infinity at some point, you have to do 5 meo, or some psychedelic, or else be one of the very few monks that this happens to. who is going to go to a monastery to spend a year meditating all day until their mind is freed from all the ties of the ego and the barriers are diluted? very few, minimal minimum. instead with 5meo, at home, on a Tuesday afternoon, you snort 25 mg and done. It's not a small thing realize the infinity, it changes your life. teachers who speak to millions should be aware of something so obvious

I really liked your post. you are a transparent and honest person, straight to the point. I am sure that you will come out of your maze and you will be totally free. When in doubt, I would always choose the truth option. it is better to repent for excess than for lack. when you express yourself you free yourself, more than you imagine before doing it. do it without anger, with honesty, and it will be better for you than not doing it

desire is essential. Anyone who is a little intelligent will realize that life raised in an egoic way is a trap. you are trapped in trying to get things when you know for sure that your destiny is decay and death. a heavy joke. then you want to get out of that trap. you are like the prisoner who digs with a spoon. you want to get out with strength and determination, no matter what else. you do what is necessary to get out of jail, you don't think about anything else. you would destroy the world if necessary but you are going to get out of jail. and at the end you go out, thanks to desire. you are free at the end

It is surprising how completely certain people are when they give their opinions about things that they do not know in depth, probably not even superficially. leaves no room for doubt! The guy doesn't understand that psychedelics can definitively break down barriers, that the dissolution of the ego mind that occurs with 5 meo is something that only true mystics could achieve sober, a tiny human minority born for it. Surprising that someone like ralston has such closed mind. Sound like always: don't buy the other, buy mine

Do you remember any of your other lives maybe? everything that can happen is happening right now. all lives and universes. the void recognizes itself and bursts into love, now, that is, always, and everything that can be, is. The enormity of this go much beyond of any imagination. what happens is that "you" are only a point of view. When you die, you will disappear and that's it. and the infinite points of view will continue to sprout infinitely. They are already doing it, they already did it, they will do it. There's no difference. you are the void, the source, god. And the you who is asking and the me who is answering are nothing, just a thought

The thing is how you define suffering. Id say that it is the disharmony between what is and what should be. the ego magnifies this by thousands, but egoless also exists. life is suffering by definition. each breath is an effort not to stop breathing, which will inevitably happen

Everything that we are talking are beliefs, or mind, since we are talking concepts and ideas, but stop eating until you are almost dead, and let's see if you need any though to perceive yourself as separate of that is not you. You are a separate being, if you want to return to unity, you must die. I meant in absolute level, selfishness create the "things". a human strongly wants to be a human. You are made of desire. All are patterns of selfishness shaping the absolute. Without selfishness you would stop breathing. No selfishness is undifferentiated unity I think suffering is directly proportional to selfishness. existing separately creates suffering, to a greater or lesser extent. thought is a separating factor, since the act of thinking implies the need of controlling the reality, so a new dimension of selfishness , thereby multiplying suffering, and multiplies the possibility of survival. But without though there is suffering too. Smaller and more bearable, you are in the garden of Eden, in the present, without need of control, and you are expulsed because the act of thinking, but to be separate you need desire and desire is always frustrated. But anyway, there in nothing bad in some suffering imo

Evocative. if that were so, there would be no ego at all, only eternal present, undifferentiated because there would be nothing to compare it to, pure existence without meaning. but it is difficult to stop thinking and comparing. because we need to have the feeling of control, and thinking and valuing we believe we have control. we lock reality into our thinking to believe we control it, to believe that there is someone controlling

the ego is the mental matrix created by social interaction, it has language as its support and attachment and rejection as pillars, or what is the same, the duality between life and death. The thing is: without ego, what are you? it is very difficult to see it because it is the ego that is trying to see it. any intention or evaluation is ego. you have to get out of there as much as possible, with meditation and psychedelics, until the ego itself realizes what it is, and then stops taking itself seriously, being attached to its concepts. then it becomes lighter , leave space, doesn't encompasses everything, and the structure of reality becomes more clear

There is no difference if you are right or not, in delusion or reality. There is only more fragmentation or less fragmentation. No fragmentation is the absolute, it's the truth, there is no doubt. But ego is the truth too, but fragmented. Everything is the truth. you simply have to see it. for this you have to be the absolute, and the fragmented mind, repeatedly. Pass from one to other. then you understand

Well, i would differentiate between thought and reality. thought does not create reality, it defines it. let's see, ultimately everything is unity and any difference is apparent, but we talk about the apparent now. apparently the differentiation exists, whether you think about it or not. you, as an apparently separate being, are not god, you are not creating reality, you are creation. in the end, yes, you are god and you are creating reality, and only you exist since you are existence, but apparently not, and now we are in the apparent. then, thought is not a creator of difference, but a multiplier. if you were a tuna, for example, you would not think, but you would perceive differences, say 500, hunger, fear, etc. without them you would not survive as a separate individual. as humans we are social and we develop thought. multiplies the chances of survival, and multiplies the differences up to millions. and with it multiplies suffering, which is the price of differentiation, created by selfishness, or evil. without evilness there would only be an unlimited undifferentiated field, absolute unity, that's what we are in the end, but apparently infinite differentiation, infinite creation, infinite evil. Buddha speaks of the end of suffering, but I think he was referring to the end of multiplying suffering, since the only true end of suffering is the disappearance of separation, of the individual. But it seems that they see the individual as something negative and their goal is to stop being an individual... maybe bit coward (I'm coward too, of course). If you like to be an individual, you would enjoy of suffering in some extent, there is nothing wrong on it

Maybe i didn't explained well. Yes, a lion is evil, same as human. A tree is evil too. A bacteria, or a molecule. Even a proton. Evilness is that it is what makes it possible for "things" to exist. evilness is selfishness. without selfishness, there would only be absolute undifferentiated. egoism is what makes the absolute want to be something. selfishness really is love. evil is love, a torture room is love. egoism is partition. selflessness is unity. both are sides of the same coin. both are two manifestations of love. one leads to suffering, which is love. the other to harmony, which is love. Maybe selfishness and suffering, which are always together, are the greatest love, since it separates from unity to create difference paying the price of pain. Great tale of jesus and his torture, that surrendering to the supreme pain renouncing to selfishness, returns humans to unity, or to the possibility of unity, when they were condemned to hell, which is pure love, due to their increasing tendency to separation

Not agree, good an evil are absolute. Good is unity, evil is division. the point is that evil is not "bad", it is necessary for appearance to exist. it is the tool that creates the appearance. if you are sensitive and take the life of an animal, a fish, even to eat, you will feel the evil that is in that act. it is something absolute. but it is necessary to survive and justified, so you call it "good" since without it you and your family would die. that is, you would return to unity, to absolute good. everything is ego, everything is bad, at different levels. but there is nothing bad with evil. is only apparent, unity is always the case i think that social morality takes this notion of absolute good and evil and puts them in relation to itself, not to reality. good is what unites society, makes it bigger, stronger. evil is what weakens it. Are relatives because there are many societies . If there is only one society, only one life, good and evil will be absolute again

I love you too Michael, you express the truth, direct, honest and without additives

Satan is the distinction, selfishness. what makes hitler hate the jews or that a proton is different from another proton. selfishness is what prevents reality from being an undifferentiated soup. The point is not to go overboard with selfishness, since it leads to hell. But the hell is pure love at the end. The only probem is that feels helly

Really It is the most logical option. Why escape from what you are? you are here, in this form. So expresse your potential, gives everything you have to give by interacting with what surrounds you. To do this, realize the formlessness, transcend to return to the ego. the goal is not the disappearance of form, for that is eternity. the objective is much more egoic, to optimize the potential. why? because it's great. Not better or worse, just beautiful

that's why Satan exist, to create differentiation. evil is the necessary element for alchemy to occur, that from the infinite pure undifferentiated love arises the kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, rich, magnificent and wild. Satan is pure love at the end. Creative power

Interesting that idea about coral, which I had never heard of. ok, you have awoken, you could stay in a cave in absolute fullness, but you have the opportunity to participate in the game. existence is eternal, but being this man is not. let's play

for me the difference is to live in the background anxious and empty of love, or in the background happy and full, realizing the beauty and the wonder, regardless of the circumstances. enormous difference that deserves any effort that requires dissolve the barriers that prevent the awakening . My project for the rest of the life is realize the divine wonder more and more. What else to do?

Suffering and delusion is divine . Suffering is bad is a bias. Why god create the suffering? Because it's divine, like everything else

the bias you have is such that it prevents you from seeing anything more than that: the bias. If you remove the bias, the sight of divine wonder will take your breath away. but you (and all of us) are a walking bias and cannot see anything without selfishness. spirituality is simply removing the bias. If you eliminate bias, divinity will manifest before you in everything. simple to understand, extremely difficult to put into practice

If you consider Leo as your teacher....well, you know what is his main teaching, right? It's something quite scary. Even terrifying: do 5 meo over and over again until there is not even a trace of you left, until reality is an undifferentiated soup and you become infinite love without limits. I think it's a great teaching
