What type of hurting are you experiencing? Is it because of pressure? are they uncomfortable in your ear? I've worn them for long hours without a problem. A lot (27dB) which means 500x noise reduction in a frequency range. Although consider that an hour in, your ears become much sharper as you adapt to the decrease in sound. You shouldn't need more noise reduction and I feel it is almost imposible to get more silent than this. Not the Quiet 2, too much reduction and music becomes distorted and loses sharpness. They are designed for eliminating sound. They have a special product for clubbing Experience 2 which will satisfies those needs. Just 50x sound reduction and better sound quality. If you want earplugs for partying those are the ones you need.

@James123 That's what happened with me and many others. If you read the life of those who attained God-Consciousness they all report the phase of no-self, being, experience as illusory etc. From that, some people Awoken beyond and others stay there. In whatever case, it's amazing work. I do not deny what you say, I've just included and trascended it. However, for you to seriously contemplate this possibility would mean to recognise: "I could be wrong" maybe truth is actually more than what I'm conscious of, maybe I have some limitations and blindspots which I'm unaware of... And that surely would be a tough bullet to bite, but you'll have to see in the depths of yourself wherein lies your heart and values in a doctrine/past experiences/current-understanding or in Truth/Consciousness/Awakening.

I was giving introductory advice, surely that's what you should be aiming towards. Although don't delude yourself, as some heights of consciousness cannot be reached unless the psychedelic Key is used. Whether it is necessary or useful to most people is another question. I'm naturally prone to Awakenings and I have to tell you that the truly potent ones come spontenously or by psychedelics; yoga, meditation and contemplation work great but there are just levels to the game. I like to breakthrough in psychedelics and workthrough in sadhana.

I like this contemplations that we're all doing together because they are giving me a renewed hope for humanity.

True, lately people have been telling me that they feel at ease in my presence. Which has been quite surprising honestly. It's also true that, more and more I've been seeing consciousness shining through the eyes of people around me and that has made feel a great connection with them. I usually just felt consciousness everywhere but now it's like the all pervading consciousness gets sucked into a person and shines through their eyes and presence in the same way it does with me and everyone else. It's like I recognise them for what they are truly in everyday interaction and that has an effect in them. It's like I can see all the layers they are operating within and all of that mediated by the One Consciousness.

We got over that years ago. After you exhaust Being, Infinite Consciousness awaits you.

hshshshhs She knows there are only two things above her, Truth and Psychedelics. She loves my eccentricities, I'm very lucky. I also add a lot of value to the relationship and we complement each other nicely. She provides significant support in grounding and integration, specially when I've gone too far too quick and needed an anchor to keep diving, she was always there for me.

Nope, just Malt and classic 5meo. There's enough work in these two for a life time. Although, I'll surely keep expanding my taste.

@Nemra Hands down the best thing that ever happened in my life was to discover psychedelics and in particular 5meos.

I'll share my sensory deprivation kit: Super comfy and high quality. https://mindfold.com/ Let's go to the earplugs: As good as it gets, you won't find anything better and well-rounded for silence: https://www.loopearplugs.com/products/quiet-plus They have many other models, another best sellers is called Experience 2, used by artists in concerts to keep high quality music with safe noise reduction.

Take 5meos and you'll see how Godly you can BE

Oh, you mean like all jobs for millenia but the last century? A trade off that developing open minds have. Exactly, that proves my point about low and high perspectives In the same way, that there are different quality branches within a religion, within each branch there are different quality perspectives. The best Sufist will always be better than the best Wahhabist. Height is relative to the point of measure and all perspectives present unique blindspots.

Enjoy, take it slow and steady!

I agree, there's something special about meeting a saint IRL It's true that with geniuses is more about what they do and give to the world than themselves. Their inventions and insight are impersonal and evolve beyond themselves in a chain like fashion. It's a contribution to the body of Knowledge at the end of the day. That puts it into perspective. Awakening is that which you didn't know you desperately needed.

I've just slapped a painting of The Buddha in my new apartment

Got it Interesting, I never saw it from that angle

Yes, in a way. Although I would frame it as: why is the religious sentiment popular across all cultures and times? Why are the maximum exponents of Religion so looked up, much more than the rest of human activitites like power, sex, science or art? Maybe because the calling is much deeper than what other disciplines can give. That makes the delusion, fascination or engrossment more intense as well. However, in a world of ilusions could it be that the pervesion of Truth made by the religious tradition over centuries, still carries a fragance of God that resonates with people? Otherwise, I can't see why it should play such an asymmetric influence in contrast with other systems. I see It wants all the goodies without doing the work and still that diluted version satisfies more than most other things, which makes them so attached and defensive about their religion. Interesting to note that this happens even within each religion, there are lower branches and higher branches. To put a few examples inside each religion (low vs high): Judaism: Halacha - Kabbalah Christianity: Contemplative and Hesychasm - Mormonism Islam: Wahhabi - Sufism Hinduism: Ritualism - Kashmir Shaivism Maybe part of the fascination comes from there as well. There is usually a lack of useful methodology in most religions to attain the states their founders Awoke to.

It can be a bit messy, but strictly speaking usually destruction is represented by the Shiva form of Maheshwara Although, who cares this is more hindu scholarship than anything else. To avoid this confusion, they prefer using the term ParamaShiva for refering to Infinite Consciousness or God. I agree, it's very useful. Moreover, It's important to grasp it in your present experience. Can you see right now what is Shiva and what is Shakti? Shiva is Pure Consciousness, Awareness, the screen, the mirror, or boundless efulgent Field of Consciousness happening. Shakti is sensations, experience, phenomena, whatever happens to be the permutation of this field, the movie. Look arround your place and other sensations happen, sounds and so on, this is the content. Lastly One has to realize that Shiva/Shakti are One and the same, nothing but useful distinctions, reconciling the eternal dilemma between Trascendence (Shiva) and Immanence (Shakti). In this way, one realizes that the Infinite and the finite are one and the same and that This present experience is absolutely magical and perfect the way it is.

From your answers, I found another way to frame it: At the core of every person lies an existential emptiness that only Awakening can satisfy. While people seek various means to fill this void, it's essential to recognize that not all that shines is Gold and even in Gold there are different karats, aka levels of Spirituality, Awakening and God-Realization.

My aunt is an oficial Homeopatic Doctor and I've been treated most minor diseases with homeopathy alone quite succesfully. When it become a major disease it was a suplementation of regular medical protocols. I'm also quite skeptical, I don't know how it works, it seems it shouldn't work, or why it does work when it does. But as empirically it has proven to be beneficial, pragmatically I'm open to homeopathy. But I wouldn't know how to defend it or argue in favour of it honestly, more than try it yourself and see if it works for you.

@Verg0 Oh that's you!!! Your work is really good in the psychonaut field.

@LambdaDelta How interesting, I bookmarked kt. Surely one day I'll try O-PCE.

Thanks for sharing. How would you describe it in terms of other substances? Let's say body relaxation like Ketamine, consciousness like 5meo, visuals like LSD, something among those lines but with vaped O-PCE. Hope to see more of your posts regarding disassociatives.

Limitation is a huge part of the workings of Consciousness. Reality is self-limiting, it limits itself, it is its own limits, you limit yourself, Pure Infinity limits itself into finity. How does it work? By Will Why? Idk, that yet The mechanisms by which everything happens seem to be intrinsically a process of transcendence and immanence or Awakening and sleeping or Consciousness and unconsciousness. I noticed the same that you did and after contemplating it for months, the breakthrough came when I realised it wasn't a trivial matter but a core aspect of Universal Mind. That was the Key Insight that cracked the nut for me. In the Kashmir Shiva Tradition manifested God is said to be performing 5 Core processes: Creation Preservation/Sustenance Destruction/Rejuvenation Delusion/Self-Deception Awakening
