you have to get out of the ego every time and as long as possible. This is not an intellectual process, it is something rather mechanical. at first it is only possible on psychedelics for most people. then with meditation, but it takes a lot of practice. in addition to understanding the mechanics of the ego. the ego catches you at the minimum and you enter a loop, it hypnotizes you and it seems that there is nothing else. It is an illusion that is never satisfactory. always has the taste that something is missing to be complete the ego is everything in your mind, the mental matrix in which we live and believe to be reality. It is false, reality is something much simpler and deeper, silent. It is a calm lake like a mirror, but not reflect, it's deep without end. it is easy to shake it and confuse movement with reality. when reality manifests it is obvious, that is what you are, existence, fullness, and it seems to you that you will always be there, given its obviousness. but the lake always moves again and if you don't make an effort to calm it, in a short time it will seem to you that there is only ego and the other was a kind of hallucination. effort is meditation. you have to clearly know that the ego is what it is, and do actions, or no actions, to avoid being caught. you cannot intellectualize the depth and richness of silence, you can only be. thinking is only good for one thing: trying to understand the mechanics of the ego. Intellectualizing the absolute makes no sense, it completely escapes you.

you still don't understand what the ego is? the ego is never happy. give him whatever he found the downside. the only possible happiness is to transcend the ego.

@SQAAD today the materialistic society, and also modern spirituality, tell us: human life is to enjoy. it is a Disney amusement park made to be enjoyed. This is not so, life is a mission. if it were for fun whoever designed it deserves to be fired. think of the myth of christ: through maximum suffering and humiliation the human redeems himself and is one with god. the human being is separated, he is a suffering being. everyone suffers, life is suffering. who believes that it is not that he is not honest with himself. The only way to stop suffering is God and this is not within reach, it is a very very difficult mission. Native Americans went to torture happy, as they had the chance to show the great spirit what they were made of, his detachment, for which they were educated as children, unlike us, educated for attachment. You don't need to watch videos of torture, go to a hospital to see elderly people alone dying of cancer in agony that lasts a year, without being able to communicate, bordering on madness. this is human life, which we wanted to turn into pleasure since the ego does not want to suffer. but suffering exists. Exist for what? To show us the path of detachment imo. Without attachment there is not suffering . Or maybe because the human with his suffering can deepen in love

You ve dealt with loneliness, etc ,in the ego level. that's how it is and it doesn't matter if there are others or not, and all those intellectualizations. what happens is that the level of the ego dissolves and reveals itself as illusion if you break the limits and perceive yourself as existence, the real, the immutable. the pure light of being without limits. But don't be fooled, if the barriers dissolve for a while and you are the absolute, and tomorrow they are back, you will continue to suffer. You could relativize your suffering a little, but it will catch you anyway. since your life in the ego only brings you suffering, the path is clear. empty the glass, leave nothing, dissolve any attachment and live without ego. much more beautiful than the trap of the ego. but if you look closely, hardly anyone can do it. they have glimpses of the absolute, but they do not want to give up the ego. they want both. imo that's not possible

True, opposite to be special. those who are special are those who are trapped in the self. if you get out of there, you completely stop being special. you become as common as a dog or a cat. only existence, the same as all the others

This ve been repeated so many times, and it seems that people do not understand it. words only work to soften the ego, not explain the truth. The truth explained is very simple: you are the existence. complete, absolute. what is the use of "knowing" this? nothing. you have to experience it. first on specific occasions with psychedelics. then full time. For what? Because it's is the truth, and to live in confusion is suffering. @Michael Jackson agree with you, solipsism as it's explained here is false. Others are real. When you look the eyes of a baby , the infinity is looking itself

vape 15 mg of 5 meo twice in one day, three days in a row. Before each time, meditate for two hours. dedicate those three days only to meditate and contemplate. the door will open, almost sure. Forget the words and the ideas. They are nothing

life is not long or short. is now. are you happy now? stop and look at this honestly, without projecting how happy you are going to be when this or that happens. You will see that there is anxiety, almost always in everyone there is. Hold on to that anxiety .ride on it and understand what it is, why it is happening. stop avoiding yourself with stories. penetrate yourself to the root, understand why you are generating this incessant anxiety. break free. Hedonism is a trap, it's obvious. A naive strategy to scape from anxiety that create more anxiety. The real pleasure is clean, simple, austere

two ideas: if reality is unlimited, why is it going to be limited to a single perspective? If you're hiding from yourself that you're creating reality, why couldn't you also hide from yourself the fact that you're experiencing infinite perspectives right now? Keep one thing in mind: you are not the dreamer, you are the dream. the dreamer is not a "you". the you who perceives a bubble is completely unreal

No, you are not imagining. You are the dream. And you are being imagined. It's difficult to see that you don't exist, because who is going to see that? You? What exist and dreams is not you. it is the indefinite, the void, god. nothing remotely resembling "you". and the void is dreaming infinite you, since it is unlimited, and none of the you are nothing

It is not easy since the ego is anxiety. anxiety is the distortion between what should be and what is, and the only solution is to equalize them. anxiety can be a background noise, that from listening to it so much you think it doesn't exist, until it shuts up and you realize that it was always there. the only solution, imo, is to really realize that what is is what it should be, including going blind or having your penis amputated, to take two examples, and accepting it fully and unreservedly. Not easy.

I'm more worried about the fucking hpv shit. Some weeks ago a girl told me she had it and I took the test and I have one of high cancer risk. it's supposed to go away in two years, or never. so I have to give up sex for two years (or for ever). or do it only with the girl with whom I share viruses. what do you think about hpv?

I think it is not a bad number, since if you start a serious relationship having had few experiences, you will always have the feeling that you are missing something, and that can seriously undermine your relationship. fuck with many, see that it is something relatively empty, find something special, better, Deep. and you stay there with no regrets

@Consilience you are right, I'm sure it would be a great help, just as books or conferences were at the time. we will see if it appears spontaneously, when the student is ready

How to find that kind of people? meditation retreats? some kind of communities ?I don't know anyone like that. the Indian tradition always talks about teachers, lineage, etc, but isn't the spiritual path the opposite? pure intuition, never beaten path

Fight. step completely out of my comfort zone over and over again, as much as possible, thousands of times

whoever doubts it is that he does not understand the friendship between two human beings, only the mutual use between two egos

existence cannot cease for one reason: it exists. it does not pass from one point of non-existence to another, since those points do not exist, they never existed. if existence lasted an instant, that instant would be eternity...but anyway, who knows the mechanic of existence? Only speculating

@Wildcattt555 I'm also sorry if I sounded aggressive before. I just think it's unrelated. micro dose and full doses for spiritual development. and I don't think Leo is degenerating from drug addiction, but that's just my opinion. I agree that the excessive use of psychedelics to seek experiences is completely negative, but not because of what the psychedelic does to your chemistry. it is because of what your need for experiences means. a void that must be filled that you disguise as a spiritual search and that is ego. deep imbalance

It is not like this. if you start a thread about such a serious topic, and also interesting, I read it completely, I think there are good points, and suddenly I read that about silicon valey and wealthy people and I feel a blow to the face, nothing more. I'm in my right to express my opinion. You could answer and show me why I'm wrong, agree with me, or ignore me. This is a forum

there is no manual for enlightenment. it is a process that has to come out of yourself. a change of perception of reality that when it starts starts a cascade reaction. many things can trigger it, suffering is one of them

Don't get angry. If you are in a forum you are explaining to everyone. I was just saying that I was shocked to read those things. you are supposed to talk to intelligent people who have been deeply informed, there are not people who think that if they do it like that in silicon valey, it will be that they know something that we do not

In my opinion, a energy vampire is a narcissistic. that is, people who look for a reaction in others to feel validated. Usually it is a reaction of admiration, but it can be another, even hatred. it means that you feel incomplete and seek (unsuccessfully) that the energy of others completes you. indeed, most people in the world are to some extent

That's pure demagoguery, don't you think? people who microdose do it for other reasons. and say that if the rich do it like that, it will be for a reason... omg

the main problem imo is that many have an awakening experience or several, but later, in their normal life, they are completely trapped in the illusion of separation. this creates a lot of confusion since awakening is incorporated as a belief, and you are in no man's land. For me, the solution to this is serious and constant meditation to prevent the ego's barriers from rising again. if there is constant openness, the problems are approached from another angle and the solution is possible
