@VeganAwake I know all that, and I get free my mind by meditating, but then any situation, or though triggers the ego, and you're back in the swamp. It is not only awakening, it is how to learn the way to make the conditioning weaker, understanding how it works. I at least see no other way.

Absolutely. The false self is the enemy. He wants to bury you

the problem is in the trial. you judge parts of yourself, or your life, as wrong, should be or have been otherwise. the foot has to deform to enter the shoe, and therein lies the mistake. it is the shoe that must be tailored to the foot. what is, is, without shame or pride. I say this wise advice when I am unable to carry it out most of the time, because at the end I'm a son of this society. It's difficult to remove conditioning and be free

more than that gap between thoughts, you are the void, but that void is, only that you speak another language that is not the thoughts, you have to learn to grasp that silent language. It is not only that there is no "i" and that is enlightenment, it is that you only exist, playing a strange cosmic game with yourself. there is no i, in the sense that everything that you consider your self, your memories, personality, characteristics, attributes ... are an empty movie with no real existence, but there is something that exists. it is nothing, a limitless hole, but very alive

Meditation is the void and in the void is the truth. mystical experiences, psychedelic realizations, etc., are useful to prepare the mind to accept the emptiness without holding hands, but living the emptiness every day, as much as possible, is the goal. is what we are, the rest is false

So were you enlightened when you were 1.5 years old? I think you have to get lost to find you again and see the truth . Just be is enough, or course, but it seems that us the humans have another path

nice wish. nothing less than that is enough

@OBEler maybe she would like to try mushrooms. for healing and deepening trauma there is nothing like it. you can also try 5meo. It probably won't give you realizations about your traumas, but an energetic reconfiguration. although I think that 5 meo is for those who seek transcendence.

Yeah yeah agree, i always thought like you, but now I think the only thing I have to do is undo the enigma, free myself, everything else is child's play

the animals are not enlightened. They are god being a bird, pure being being, éxtasis, but they do not know that they are god, like 1-year-old children, they simply are. They are close to God insofar as they are pure, but it is necessary to eat the apple of the tree and be expelled from Eden to be able to see.

There is only you playing a game with yourself. Only, alone, the being imploding on itself. you are trapped, like me, and the game tries to free yourself completely. if you don't see it, you can't even start playing

The only existential chrisis is to see that it's have been imagining a very complicated movie, with hundreds of actors, turns, problems, objectives, pursuing the happy ending (enlightenment, eternity, the grand prize) ... when the reality is that there was nothing , empty, hollow. There is no one here! just a movie that projects itself. What a foolness itsnt it? it has always been said: there is no one, there is no one. It is no use saying it a thousand times, the soap bubble must explode.

that's a scam, tell your intuition whatever. the same as rasa, who illuminates you on Skype, the young girlfriend of the old guru ramaji, with her psychic powers, at $ 250 an hour. The thing is just the opposite of these scams, it is taking full responsibility, get empty. I read Rasa's cheap advertising pamphlet and die of shame. all that of the gurus and the lineages, is ego, falsehood, scam. one more religion, but a candle shop and magic stones.

there are an estimated 1 followed by 100 zeros of stars in the known universe, and most have planets. It would be logical that there were several million advanced civilizations. Einstein's theories predict wormholes, and so far all Einstein's theories that have been empirically tested have proven to be true. so ... it wouldn't be weird to have a visit

It's your ego asserting itself. a way to exist like others, and to exist is its purpose. weakening the ego by seeing again and again its falsehood is the solution

There are no absolute certainties, only great probabilities that a fact verified several times will yield the same result when verified the next time

Good answer and really interesting link, thanks for sharing

my father, a real disgrace. If he hadn't died from cancer caused by his addictions before I was really an adult, I can't imagine what my relationship with him would have been like. a very strange person. my challenge is to love the memory of my father. there are moments, after meditating, that the miracle occurs, when I see that he is me

yeah, deeply wounded, and a being without the will or humility necessary to face it, who prefers to cheat himself and others by doing a constant performance in which he feigns his superiority. absolutely stupid and dishonest

reality exists. reality is one, not multiple, multiplicity is illusory. reality is intelligent. look at it, perceive its creativity, reality is god. And you, who can perceive, are the reality

It's funny that he says that when he spent 15 years meditating for several hours a day (if I remember correctly) until, according to him, he became enlightened

This is the point. Difficult, brutal, worth, are labels . Things are as they are. Suffering is a teacher that shows you the narrow path of the truth. the more you deviate from that path, the more suffering there will be, to tell you: not there. not pleasant, but effective

Cannabis clearly tells you: stop. When it's time to stop . anxiety, paranoia, mental poverty, laziness, gluttony, lonely ... but man is a stupid animal and continues until things get really ugly and your life is going down dark paths. once you have seen it, and you have left it, you can use it as a tool if you find it useful

A person who claims to have been meditating for 40 years, completely committed to spirituality and frustrated at being stagnant, if she knows that there is such a thing as 5meo, with practically no serious risk, that he is capable of releasing it, and he does not ... has a psychology that I don't understand

haunting story. sounds similar to some 5meo experiences I've had: there is nothing, I am nothing, just empty, zero, death. there was never anything and it is the infinite grave. I believe that it is the previous step to the true enlightenment, in which it is seen that the emptiness is God. The one with the report did not get there, he turned around before, overwhelmed by the emptiness. that guy was in the perfect spot, completely detached from the mundane. If he had known more about spirituality or had a teacher, perhaps he would have completely submerged himself in that emptiness and would have come out enlightened. Great courage is needed, imo. How difficult it is to follow that path, to separate for a time in a real way from everything that it means to be human
