Your words are touching. No comment (Other than to say that your trips moving in the direction of something quite mysterious and foreign, no longer fitting into the frame of "God-realization" or some such, signifies that God-Realization might have only existed as an elaborare concept & nothing more. See it this way: Leo, in his brilliance, coined the term (or not) "GOD-REALIZATION" to explain THIS! BUT "THIS" CANNOT BE EXPLAINED ABSOLUTELY! WE ARE ALL INCREDULOUS! CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT! IT IS MAGNIFICENT AMEN HALLELUJAH)

When I read "Mahasamadhi," @Eskilon I spat out my fucking tea. That is the best response to this question, laughing off my ass

What Salvijus said: Grace All techniques are distractions from what they aim to inspire. If you want to be spiritual, go have a beer. If you want to understand reality, go have a beer. If you are looking for God, go have a beer. But if what you want is truly, actually, really Nothing At All, You Have Come to the Right Place

Not sure if I made this clear, but chewing and eating them in a traditional fashion is such a scary prospect. I imagine barfing that shit up. God, shrooms taste bad. Also, I ate pizza at 8. Now it is 11. I plan on popping at 1. Should I wait longer? Any other advice, tips, techniques, or reccomendations of shit 2 do during the trip itself would be goddamn appreciated, thank you very much :))))

I thought Leo's response was incredibly nuanced. It is profound

@Schizophonia 1) This point, I can get behind, especially if porn is being used to escape the realities of life (whatever the f***** that means..) 2) The key word is potentially. What is the "right View" of sexuality? Surely this concept must exist in your mind, since you are talking about the possibility of it being disrupted. What is being disrupted: what is the healthy, right View of sexuality? 3) But so does fkn everything in this universe...! WHy single out Pornography? The enrichment of the self-concept is so pervasive. If you were to label it as bad and unhealthy, even going to a cave as a monk would not save you. Everything you do is that! (not my intention to start a debate, just curious bc porn seems to be particularly controversial issue here)

I am just now coming to grips with how habituated my mind is. My responses to any given situation are robotic. My language is predictable. I am like a computer code of hippie spiritualism mixed with bits of cleverly disguised garbage that I have accumulated throughout my life. Much as one gets attracted to a crush in a way that seems outside of his control, so I have been seduced by fantasies that arouse my desire for creating a personality worthy of your praise. I want to be shown by other people just how cool and radiant I am. In every sentence I speak, if you listen carefully, you can see that I just want to be loved.

@Schizophonia @Natasha Tori Maru I am curious. Why do you think porn is bad for mental health? Are there any studies or experiences that found this claim? I am asking as an avid porn conneseiur considering changing my habits — if you tell me why I should

I do not feel a desire to speak any more, at least on this thread. I love you all so much, so it hurts me to tell you this: SHUT THE FUCK UP! I cannot bear to hear your responses. The reciprocation of this love is so profound. I am melting into insanity.

yes, what princess says is kinda sorta fucking true... Jesus Christ!

This makes me feel a sort of melancholy, but me saying that is the height of said habituation. And of course the labeling of the condition as such is the very condition of which I speak. Is there a way out of this? Is there a way to be so creative and spontaneous that you are not bound by your conditioning? Or am I doomed to keep speaking in circles, turning to that which already exists inside my mind since there is nothing else to reference?

This is just a thought: If someone had no questions left in their "metaphysical inquiry," they would not be on this forum.

@Someone here What if the question "Why does anything exist at all?" is founded on false premises? What if you are assuming the existence of something in order to ask your question, but independent of your wondering and wandering, there is nothing to rack your mind over?

@xeontor I never said you can be definitely certain of any Truth, be it with a capital T or not. These are cute games, bro. I am pointing to the truth that, in your own experience, you cannot know anything for sure. Knowledge is a hoax. Knowledge is mental masturbation. Knowledge is Truth. Knowledge is GOD.

@xeontor "So, how do we distinguish truth from falsehood? By testing our ideas against reality" Either that, or letting go of them entirely. What if the Truth is completely beyond human understanding? What if it does not care about your fancy methodology? This is the possibility of transcendence, brother. But you might have to let go of your scientific personality to see that

Either there are infinite states of consciousness.... Or only ONE! Pick your Poison

@xeontor you think that any method holds any significance outside of your mind. You think you inhabit a world of huamans collectively trying to understand the metaphysics of the world. You think that there is a right and wrong way to go about things. You think that you exist and anything you say means squat. Therein lies your issue.

I have scoured this forum forth & back in search of a post about someon's experience with opiods. I don't know if that class of drugs is tabboo in this corner or if you guys just aren't fkn stupid... Me, on the other hand, I am a rascal. As such, after getting my wisdom teeth extracted, I decided to have some fun with my painmeds. I'm a teenager, so this is understandable. Anyways, just wanted to share my experience with 25mg off the hydros. It was eerily similar to a psychedelic experience. I also want to try some coke to test this hypothesis, but I have found that, with the exception of weed, pretty much all psychoactive substances bring me closer to God in one way or another Specifically with this experience, my mind just shut the fuck off. I experinced EFFORTLESS ENLIGHTENMENT; even that one voice interjecting spiritual terminology in between every breath disappeared Anyways, wz curious if any yall had experience in this domain. Obviously it's best to not do this or only do this once or twicr because u don't want to be a heroin addict.

@Flowerfaeiry figured as much. Best stay away from that stuff

Reading this thread makes me feel so understood, so heard, like you are my actualized brethren confirming the realities of nondual hallabungus, but jokes on you, you are my cherished fantasies, my favorite beliefs, my toy house

The truth is that I am God, and God is a scared little boy

@Sugarcoat better include a chapter of porn in the middle: Chapter 6: A Well Needed Rest "Dear dear reader, bless your soul for having made it this far. You are making good progress here! Now enjoy yourself a little, and come back to the studies even more serious! Lots to figure out ;)"

Curious: Whar role does your ancestry (grandparents, great greatparents) play in shaping your personality traits, charecterustics, deeply rooted idiodyncrasies e5c.

@Sugarcoat I will buy your book. Good work. Lol

@Leo Gura lmao this had me laughing my ass off on the toilet. Lol
