Yes, that I call Human, not ego. Otherwise, I say: I or God.

Def Society is collapsing if we all God-Realize. At least as we currently experience it and understand it.

Yeah, survival doesn't allow many people to contact this present moment directly. Survival is the biggest bottleneck; properly handling your life, outter prosperity and inner contentment, easily open up the way towards higher consciousness and Awakenings. Yes, that is so. There's no way around experience. I wonder why is that the case?

@Breakingthewall The everpresent nature of Reality is indeed very beautiful.

My dealing with humans is the amount of bullshit I can tolerate

It's like an annoying fly

For me, the way to sharp intuition is by serious feedback mechanisms after following through your intuition. By burning your feet in the fire of truth is that a solid and sharp intuition is developed.

@Jannes Yes, peak consciousness alters baseline consciousness, as a consciousness that has been so stretched cannot return to it's original contraction. In the same way, increasing baseline consciousness makes a nice solid foundation for the peak to land, as skyscrapers have always a nice underground base. This is a more nuanced point that can be built upon my original answer. Thanks for bringing it up.

@Breakingthewall I see it the same way. I experienced the void and it's just like that. Although advanced meditators like Frank Yang claim that there is a deeper nothingness awakening which they call cessation where you hit rock bottom and consciousness reboots again the whole of Reality. That seems to have benefits in baseline consciousness and rewiring the brain. Although I've never understood the buzz for the nothingness Awakening. It's just another cool facet of Consciousness.

Understand this point about spiritual disciplines. 1. Horizontal development. Works on baseline consciousness, mindfulness and maintaining awareness throughout the day. 2. Vertical development. Works on peak consciousness, huge intensity but short-lived, breakthroughs, insights and crazy Awakenings. So, meditation done 1h a day would be developing the horizontal axis (super important), but you ain't gonna get the crazy metaphysical, consciousness, Infinity, God Awakenings that Actualized.org describes. For that, you'll need hardcore meditation retreats, to build up the peak over days and weeks with meditation. You could say Leo is biased towards peak Awakenings and from that place said that everyday meditation will not yield peak results, which is true. But let's not forget Leo did everyday meditation for years and developed the horizontal axis as well. It's the same with athletes, they train endurance and marathons, but also explosive sprints. I have my everyday horizontal practices and then I take my psychedelic 🚀

What heals, can also kill. Sick and one pill saves you but 10 murders you. It's all about the right balance. Those people you mention that are Ketamine chronic consumers are using the substance in an abusive, hedonist way. Hence they get bad trips or bad experiences, they end up addicted and destroying their health and life. Technically speaking for this work we want Entheogens, which means Godly substances. What happens to be the case is that 99% of Entheogens are psychedelics. Then in the 1% you have Ketamine which is a sedative/downer and Salvia which is its own world, and a few other edge case substances. So yes Ketamine can lead you to God but it has not the purity and multidimensionality of psychedelics. Nevertheless, it's important to try non-psychedelic Entheogens because it hits Consciousness from a different angle while potentially reaching equally as high.

Absolutely so 💯. Glad we've both clicked. I'm so happy to have had this conversation. Yes, now I see.

Because God imagined so.

@Breakingthewall Hi, I've been contemplating our conversation and I came to clarity in our main difference. I'll be integrated to what I understand the truth to be. You've got many things right and you're quite accurate regarding the Absolute but you've got it from an impersonal lense that may be categorized as substance-mechanic based. In other words, there is a very high Awakening were you connect with the Sentience of Reality and Consciousness. In this Awakening,, Ultimate Reality happens not be neutral but the ultimate personality or the final I. It's important to get the no-I to infinite degrees as well as the Royal-I. The Universal I in this sense is a particular way and not in another, it's pure Genius and Virtue. Meaning, a Conscious Being which is Infinite, all-encompassing and Reality itself: it feels, it thinks and is always already The ALL Now. Reality as the Ultimate Being is God and in communing with it, you'll breakthrough into your very own Infinite Godly Self, which will be total Openess as well as Infinite Consciousness, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Love itself, Truth Itself, Intelligence and Universal Sentient Mind. I'm sure you've had Awakenings I haven't yet. I just try to point out this. There's an Awakening were you Become Infinite and discover your true Self to be God and it is perfectly designed in the most intelligent way, which is not neutral, or just happening, or simply open; but the source of all Genius.

Regarding gazing into the abyss, I'd like to share that my present experience feels so fluid. Reality is seen at every moment as a manifestation of consciousness, pure imagination, intangible in essence. I look at the sky and see no limit, no boundary to reality, I gaze at the ground and it breaths, it feels hollow, yet so alive. Sometimes I really feel the abyss in my everyday life; the image resonated in my heart as I have lived it. Humanness comes back to my consciousness telling me: Dear it's just the abyss, let's proceed with our day.

I like depiction 2. It feels like a high dose of 5meo when the crown dissolves into infinity and you get sucked into the God-Consciosuness-Hole.

@Asia P I was thinking about you lately. How is your path going?

A young housewife said in her smart reply: "Ma, we belong to Tarapeeth, a sacred place of pilgrimage. We are used to seeing so many saints and sages. We can easily size up people. We have never come across one like you - verily a Goddess in human form." Ma replied: "No I am neither a sage nor a saint. How could I be compared to them?" The lady insisted: "Why try to deceive us Ma? You are indeed, God incarnate!"

I recommend you to search about Sri Anandamayi Ma, the only recorded case in history where a being was born egoless and remained this way till her death. There was no beggar or so called enligthened Guru that was not astonished by her simplicity and presence. If you pay real attention and read closely, undressing the words to what they point to, you will see that a very clear message of God-Realization is being transmited.

There is One unchanging indivisible Reality which, though unmanifest, reveals Itself in infinite multiplicity and diversity. That One – the Supreme Truth – is ever present everywhere in all circumstances. Referred to as Brahman (Ultimate Reality), It is no other than God Almighty. God Almighty is nameless and formless; yet all names and forms are itself. God is the Father, Mother, Guru, Friend, Enemy, Creator, Preserver, Destroyer – everything. God's essence is Beingness, Consciousness and Love. Indeed, it is in everything and everything is in Infinity; there is nothing but Reality. Try to see God in everything and in everybody, including yourself. ~ Sri Sri Sri Anandamayi Ma.

I researched how to make an integral monitoring system for nanosatellite constellation in the Low Earth Orbit. I have no PhD but as I studied two degrees I was able to access into the research centre and carry the project myself. Yep, today is my last day on the job actually. I'll orient my career towards technological consulting in a big firm. I wanted to make a contribution in the engineering and research field. I've already done it to my satisfaction and hence now it's time to move on.

A tip for pranayama and smoking. In the exhale don't push the air out of the lungs, just let the lungs colapse and the air will be expelled outwards even more effectively.

Nice!!! keep going

My advice would be to do your research while working in a research centre. Univiersities usually do a poor job (unless you go to an elitist one) in guiding your project and in giving financial support. The only drawback is that you won't have full ownership of the work you do, as it is property of the research centre which is paying you (although must universities take the credit as well and don't pay you back). You'll have to become adept at paper writing, applying to congresses and publishing in scientific journals. You said you liked that so it shouldn't be a big deal. Most of my collegues which are post-phd and publicly claim disliking this whole academic system and parafernalia, although they confess that no better system has been found yet.
