Yeah...agree at the end! ?

Inspiring reading. we call nothing the absence of contrast, of differentiation between one thing or another. but it is a wrong word. there is always something, existence. the true nothing would be non-existence, and that does not exist. and obviously you can't experience it.

So it was at the end . You don't understand. You are. Period. nothing related to the conceptual idea of myself, or if I remain a vegetable if I get hit on the head. I am. it is most obvious. the sense of the separate self, as you say, is false, since separate means contrasted with what is not me. there is no contrast. Only be. I could be shot in the head right now, which would still be exactly the same, only without all the mental paraphernalia that goes around in my head (which would not be a great loss either btw) there is only the being. being cannot not be. there is no enlightenment to look for, it is much simpler. it is realizing that you are, and you are limitless depth, right now. simply remove the limitations you impose, all your ideas about what is and is not, and voila! this. Now. Depth, life, that's you are.

Well, you are, right? Obviously you exist.

you have to really detach from yourself, and take real risks. if not, you end up wallowing in your fear, in your comfort and in your routines, and no matter how many realizations you have had, your life will be small and miserable.

True, but you can't see that since you are it. It's very twisted. imagine that you are the content of a glass where there is water mixed with ink. I tell you: hey, the ink is not real, don't you see? but you cannot distinguish the water from the ink, you are the mixture. You're going to make a thousand assumptions that the ink is this and the real is that, but you can't see it until they mechanically separate. there is nothing they can tell you that will make you see it because the one who listens to it and processes it is the water mixed with the ink. It is another thing to see, when they are separated, that the water is not limited to the glass. it is simply what there is without limitation or definition, but as long as it is mixed with the ink, its outline is defined and it is impossible to see that

If you mean the mental talking, It is the ego, an entity made of images and words that has attachment as its emotional basis. It is working all the time and cannot stop for a second, since it has mixed with you as a kind of symbiote. you and this entity are inseparable, you are mixed, but you must separate as it has grown too large and threatens to devour itself. this symbiote in another context, I don't know, in the Paleolithic, sure would be bearable, but today its dimension is impossible. he is a real monster. He leaves no room for anything but himself. the alchemical process that must occur is complicated. first the monster himself has to realize his monstrosity, and then he has, in a real act of surrender, to accept his place. recognize its unreal character. difficult since you, the one who is thinking that the voice should be silent, are the voice itself. you can't make yourself shut up. Because the will of try to shut up come from the voice, so is making the voice stronger. You have to play a subtle game with yourself. To cross the door you can't want to cross the door. you can only watch all the time, day after day, every minute. what you are and what you say, why you do it, how you twist yourself, make yourself aware of your terror of silence, your need to grab handles. until one day, suddenly, for a few seconds... poof! It is gone. you are at the bottom of you, of reality, the void. that is. there are no words. then it comes back again, but it's already less mixed. more detached. And the void attracts you more and more

I don't know, just speculation. nor do I think that any of us will ever know, since as Epicurus said, when death is there, I am not. the i that wants to know will disappear, and what it is will remain, since it is now. reality is, right? and you are a kind of dream, a limited appearance of the limitless. only a shape. if the form disappears, you disappear, the desire to know, the memory that you ever existed as a form, everything. only infinity remains, taking infinite forms from infinite time, that is the same to say that you are the first form that has appeared in the eternity. without memory, without permanence, but always the same infinity. You, right now

psychedelic users typically use them to come face to face with reality, not to escape from it. is this immaturity? rather the opposite

agree that enjoying life is the goal. I just wanted to point out that from my point of view, the only way to really do it is to remove all superfluous lies from you. there is no search for the truth, the truth is already the case. there are clouds that veil it, and these clouds must be understood for them to dissipate. if not, there will never be happiness, not in campfires, beaches or in anything. there will always be a distortion of background anxiety. if that distortion is equalized and you are one with the truth, it doesn't matter where you are, you will be happy

not agree. The truth is one and the rest is nonsense. the only real happiness is the truth. the rest are patches that take you to hell

If you vape a small amount, like 2mg, and it kicks in, it's probably the real deal. How to describe describe the effect... maybe like something that expands and takes you, and faint colored dots and small movements with your eyes closed. If it is more, the visuals would be small green and silver geometric figures turning like gears. More amount, luminous rectangles and vision cancellation. all this with a perfectly normal mind if you have never had a breakthrough (if you already had, with small amount the mind changes). In a moment, you pass the threshold of the breakthrough and the mind disintegrates. Difficult to explain that .it is something that when it happens , after you think: this, without 5 meo is impossible. goes beyond anything that is possible to think. anyone who does it alone usually takes many tries to get the dissolution

maybe you should try it. if you have the right look, and the right attitude, you might find yourself surrounded by admirers, beautiful women vying for your attention, millionaires making donations, documentary about you on netflix, a private island in the pacific where you are worshiped like a god living. You just have to start little by little

Try to vape a small amount, I have read that oxalate can be vaped. if you don't have a pipe, make it with a spoon, a lighter and a funnel. try 2 or 3 mg, and see if it works or not

I agree, the mind must understand itself, if not, the silence will be artificial, forced. To create empty space in the mind, all knots must be undone, the labyrinth solved. then silence comes naturally.

as simple as saying that the truth is silence. but how to get to the silence? That is the question. removing the noise, obviously. And how do you remove the noise? detaching you from it. but how do you detach from the noise if... oh wait... you are the noise? And this is spirituality, in short

What I believe is that when you die, the self you think you are will dissolve like a hologram in the void, and it will be as if it never existed. There will be no trace and no one to remember him. The infinite void will remain in infinite silence, which is what you really are. and I suppose that something else will happen, but the one who asks, will not know, because it would have disappeared

What do you think? fear will eat you. and you will cover your fear and you won't even know you have it. fertilizer for anxiety and depression. Bad business. You must not allow fear to condition you. you have to identify each fear and face it. If not , to have a happy life is almost impossible

I think Tolle is a genius who is able to express the greatest depth in the simplest way. I especially liked the second book, although the first one too. straight to the point, basic, simple, clear

@justfortoday where is the difference between successive experiences and simultaneous experiences when you are out of time?

You can do that if you don't mind that people think of you as an idiot trying to appear superior because you feel inferior.

@Kksd74628 Well, I agree with you that the point of life is to be happy, but the human is obviously designed for the opposite, so you could say that the point of life is to solve the maze that it means to be human, to solve all the unhappiness that the development of the mind inevitably creates, and return to the primal happiness that is our nature. I mean, enlightenment

I would say that all the possibilities are happening right now, but that through a trick, you are hiding all of them, except your current one. but the trick is masterful since I am hiding all except mine. therefore, I am all that exists, and you are all that exists, we are the same. but by virtue of our unlimited quality, we can do this trick that fakes the existence of multiple selves. if you increase your consciousness until you transcend the apparent, you and I are exactly the same, but if you lower your consciousness, you merge with the apparent and you are one with the illusion, we seem two. Really for you, only you pov exist and others are imaginary, but everything is imaginary, your pov too, so everything is real in the same level, there is no difference between you and that's not you

@Someone here thanks for the compliments, lets talk whenever you want. if the point of human life is to be happy, whoever designed it deserves to be fired. Seems that the point of life is to be unhappy .

Human life is complicated. It's a maze
