Just found this and had to share.

@WaveInTheOcean If it's scientific evidence you require, your on the wrong forum.

You know what you are not. What you are you cannot know.

On the absolute beingness appears. And out of that comes illusion. And the illusion occupies the truth. Nisargadatta

@xeeky4 What feels like it never ends- ego?

Constantly return to that point from where you seem to have come -and see if you have really come.

I feel like Dorothy in The wizard of OZ having the realization it's needless to look anywhere else but here.

@Nahm Thanks. Like I said, it's been quite a while for me. But I can remember that what goes up must come down. But still, just to switch it up for a couple hours with some shrooms may do me a world of good at this point. Even if it's just to remind me of what's real- this. I just read something @Azraelsaid about 5-Meo vs. just sitting that was very timely and absolutely true.

@Nahm I'm thinking of partaking in some shrooms to break free of this dry spell I've been in. It's been quite a while for me though. But I'm seriously thinking about it.

@Nahm Yea. I think your right. I'm going to look into it real soon.

@Nahm I never heard that one. So true.

@Nahm The mind is naturally fine tuned to depth of field mostly for survival. If you where a caveman, you would need to know how far away a saber toothed tiger is so you know when it's time to start running your ass off. It's sweet to have the option to override depth perception when it's not needed.

@WelcometoRealityNo. But you have a point there. Don't confuse effort with results.

@WelcometoReality Don't make me laugh. You don't think I've thought about it. At this point I'd lock myself in a closet if that's what it takes.

@WelcometoRealityNo, it's not the ego being threatened. I would love to threaten the ego. In a big way! Maybe I'm needing something a bit more than just the meditation and video's at this point, It's been a long time since I 'partook'. I'm thinking about it.

@Principium Nexus Yea that happens quite often. For instance, yesterday I was pealing potatoes and it was as if they where pealing themselves. (funny b-c it happened before when I was pealing potatoes) Anyhow, I was watching it all happen as if I was only a spectator.( No doer). Usually when I experience that it is usual 3d.-- Next time it happens I'll observe it more to get a better idea. Usually my mind is fairly still when that no doer thing happens. The flat screen thing doesn't happen that often but when it does all reality (landscape) becomes flattened. No depth to it. Like a huge theater screen.

@Principium Nexus I've experienced what could be called 'flat screen' from time to time. It happens out of nowhere. Reality looks like it's being projected on a screen.

@Voyager @Joseph Maynor @WelcometoReality Now that I revisit what I was experiencing last week- about rethinking my entire practice because it felt like nothing was there. Maybe that's true on some level. Practice is an illusion? Or is that my ego talking? I'm really not sure. I'm not saying I'm going to stop. But maybe just see it in a different light.

@WelcometoReality Thanks. I'm fine now but I can relate to what was said here. Even though I've been down this road before- sometimes I just feel like I've hit a brick wall. It just gets stale. Something I read made me rethink my entire practice and I was seriously doubting all of it. And I really don't know why. This thick feeling of agitation just came over me out of nowhere. It wasn't like what Joe experienced of realizing he wasn't the body. I've learned to welcome those freaky feelings of being out of my skin with no solid ground to stand on. Maybe that's how I felt about my practice. Like there was nothing really there. I know- wrong attitude. I guess it's all part of the growth process.

@Voyager @Joseph Maynor I've been there too. Many times. Just last week I was questioning everything. I spent a few hours experiencing a state of doubt and agitation. What I've learned is the best thing is not to fight it but use it. Use it as a growth tool. Turn it around on itself and have it work for you instead of it pushing you around. I looked around and found this from Mooji. I hope you find it of some use.

@Ray How do you know for sure Ray World literally exists?

@Serotoninluv There is no rush to do anything.. This all takes time. It took years to build the 'you' that exists now. Remember when you where very young? Life was uncomplicated because you where. There was only a sense of presents or 'I Am' at the core of your being. Learn to dwell in that again. That is your guiding light. It was there to guide you into this world. It's never left your side.
