Good for you … Even if life for most isn’t like religious hell people go through a kind of hell still. Chronic diseases etc

Didn’t you just describe your life as constant suffering? Sounds like hell to me

My post was a joke. I would never voluntarily torture myself I don’t have the guts to do that, very few people have The video I mentioned is example of extreme suffering too. But if it’s possible to transcend severe pain it should be possible to transcend milder pain or mental suffering. So maybe you could apply the same technique he uses to your own suffering, whatever degree of severity it is

If consciousness/awareness is reality then what do we call the personal consciousness/awareness that the person possesses and is aware of itself (subject) and the world (object)?

I’m not talking from my own experience lol I just have heard stories about it. It’s extremely rare and maybe not even possible for most This for example: Man overcame pain from trigeminal neuralgia (aka suicide disease) through extreme mindfulness practice

I see. So it’s like if you can scare yourself to the point where it feels you’re actually experiencing it you can then learn to accept it

I’m being honest, I could force myself to meditate for a long time (I tried in the past 1 hour a day but it seems not enough to produce mystical experience for me) but I don’t have strong desire to do it so I lack motivation for it. But I’d like to try psychedelics more. Do you think that’s enough for the openness you talk about?

What am I according to that radar? You can probably smell my self from a mile away

I don’t meet many people but for example in high school (I’m still young so it’s not too long ago) I went to a high school which required high grades to enter, and I saw many women I’d consider pretty mature, not non emotional like me but somewhat balanced. Maybe it’s a difference depending on education level you go to Im going to uni soon so there I’ll see more women…. I’ll see what I see

lol what kind of women are you guys interacting with. Where are these ultra emotional ungrounded women you talk about. The women I’ve met in my life seem pretty balanced. I’m a woman and I’m stoic asf. Detached from most things, even human relations. I know I’m rare but I feel this ultra emotional woman y’all talk about is like a minority who is easy for you to attract or something because you come off as her polar opposite when you play your little “game” of subtle manipulation trying to come off as masculine. Just admit you attract unstable women LOL

I’ll have to explore those substances more to grapple this

Yea many people probably have great potential for mystical experience it’s not just explored

Would you say the negative experience is because there’s still some ego left that is reacting and resisting its dissolution or is “the void” just scary in itself even if the self is gone in that moment(or as you’d call it “open”)

Maybe he has spiritual wisdom and has had plenty of temporary glimpses but maybe isn’t permanently enlightened. With Krishnamurti he seems to have good understanding of the mind and fear. What state of consciousness he’s in on a daily basis I don’t know

Suffering is so core to the me

I think many especially religious people would be repelled by the idea that there’s no separate god it’s all one

Your description is kind of how I intuit it too

I think same but then I wonder is there anything outside of direct experience Just a thought, it’s not like that insight would change my life

That’s how I think too

Maybe it’s possible with extreme mindfulness

I think brain produces sense of self

I feel my brain produces my mind

That’s a solid mindset I think it’s possible to transcend both but it requires extreme mindfulness

I wonder if that state of consciousness is possible for the average person

Maybe he had resistance to the crucifixion
