Consciousness imagines a brain, a body, and a world. When someone hits your skull with a hammer, consciousness is imagining that. It is also imagining every consequence of the brain being hit by a hammer. So if you end up 'unconscious' or in a coma, notice that first of all you haven't fully died yet, but rather, you eventually wake up and realize what happened (i.e. consciousness imagines that the event of getting hit by a hammer happened, it imagines the passage of time during the period of 'unconsciousness,' etc.). Similar to what happens when you wake up from deep sleep. You never went anywhere, you just stopped imagining a brain, body, and world for X amount of time. There is a massive difference between being in a coma or being temporarily unconscious and what happens after your body actually undergoes physical death. A coma is just 'pausing the game,' physical death is quitting the game altogether and becoming your true self, what consciousness was before imagining your current brain body and world. In fact, if you awaken enough, you will realize that actually consciousness was never inside a world or in a brain. After all, a world and brain exist in space, which only exists when imagined by consciousness. The state you were in pre birth and the state you are in now are in fact made of the exact same substance (Nothingness). The only difference while alive is what this Nothingness is constructing (Being 'alive' just means this nothingness is constructing your current configuration of reality. Death is when this nothingness is not limited to constructing this experience right now, and you become unlimited by definition). If you want a more in-depth argument of how brain damage works with consciousness in an idealist framework, take a look at Bernardo Kastrup's answer to this problem.

Great explanation man. I love Leo's how to do self-inquiry video. You can definitely awaken from self inquiry alone, although psychs or dissociatives help 'pause' the ego which can help people do self-inquiry from a more clear and less delusional mind space. Self-inquiry by itself is hard for a lot of people due to most people in the modern age having extremely overactive egos shaped by the culture of materialism that runs our world right now.

Think about what divides/separates the multiple POVs inside the one awareness. Is this division real or imaginary?

Ease of access mostly. I do know where to get salvia/dmt/lsd/etc but haven't tried them yet (Yes, I do plan to get skullfucked by Salvia once in my life, lol). I do plan to try a lot more psychedelics in the future, but right now I'm trying to focus more on the survival aspect of life: making money, having a good routine, etc. My past shroom and DXM trips helped me get over a lot of my traumas and fears, as well as making me conscious of what the ego/reality/mind/self/God actually are. Only reason I did shrumfuzed yesterday was because I've had them for months now and wanted to see if they gave me a powerful trip in case I want to use them in the future. As of right now though, no psychedelics or dissos for a while as there is no need for me to trip right now. Something about hanging up the phone once you get the message, lol. I'm sure there may come a time in the future where I will want to trip again, and I will probably venture into other psychedelics then.

I am not sure. Psilocybin is the only psychedelic I've done and the trip yesterday was different than a typical shroom trip. From what I've read online it's either 4-AcO-DMT or 4 HO MET. But I haven't done either of them so I can't really say. It was a shorter trip, lasting around 3-4 hours, but was very intense. In contrast, a shroom trip for me typically lasts much longer.

I tried 2 gummies yesterday night. Holy shit they do pack a punch. Felt like a few hours of my entire body just being cradled by the Universe and being filled with pure Love.

Dude, you can't just generalize any group and apply that generality to every single member of the group. Doesn't matter if its hot girls, a race, a religion, etc. The majority does not represent every single individual who is part of that group. That is a very low IQ way to think.

Sounds like exactly me, honestly. Psychedelics/dissociatives are the answer.

Do you have a playlist for when you are tripping? This is mine: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0B9z2HBoKKmTRD38wQhoJK?si=1nCBgVUTRlW4KhotBE37rg

Out of curiosity, what was your IGN in league and what seasons were you high elo? I used to be grandmaster and did a bit of boosting myself, interesting that we are both on this forum lol

Don't worry, we are all just waiting for you to wake up.

I do also love when the universe skullfucks me

Peterson is so lost in his own world view and ego. Man needs to do a heroic dose of a psychedelic, only way to get his head out of his ass.

I am glad my answers give you hope, friend. I will say though: you can reach a point when you Awaken deep enough that you can 100% get these answers for yourself, at a level much deeper than concept, because all concepts are 2nd order phenomenon (As in, concepts are 'things' that exist within a dream, they are not absolute because they first have to rely on Consciousness experiencing the concept. Truth/Consciousness is absolute). The best way to do so would be to take a psychedelic or dissociative, at a high enough dose where you have a breakthrough. Awakening really is like popping out of a dream, reality gets recontextualized to a level which you would not even be able to conceive of at a lower state of consciousness. If you can't get your hands on psychedelics I would recommend DXM, it is an extremely powerful dissociative at higher doses. I would recommend sticking to 2nd plateau if you do DXM and only go to 3rd plateau if you are used to the DXM headspace and are ready to experience insane levels of mindfuckery. This video in particular explains very well what a psychedelic/dissociative does to you. But first, question absolutely everything. Remember: It is human nature to bullshit and make up stories. We choose stories based on what is most convenient for survival. For the vast majority of people, their idea of what reality is is deeply skewed by cultural brainwashing, whether secular or religious. There are so many things that I took for granted pre awakening which before seemed obvious, but it was only obvious because I just believed it deeply and never deeply questioned it. Ultimately, YOU decide what is absolutely true. Which is a double edged sword, because if you believe something is true, then nothing in the Universe can change your mind unless YOU question it yourself. In that sense, you have the ultimate authority on what Truth is. (I am not talking about schizo-maxxing and believing 1+1 = 3 is true, I mean more fundamental assumptions like "This is who/what I am." or "This is what reality is,") To relate this to a personal example: I used to believe I was ugly for the longest time because I was fat growing up. This affected my self-image and made me have no confidence. However, later when I got lean and started getting good results with dating I was forced to confront this belief. This belief was so powerful, it became my whole identity. When I deconstructed this identity more and more, it literally felt like dying. Because that was who I thought I was for the majority of my life. So to lose that identity is scary, because I had no idea what my identity could be after letting go of it. Well, this pretty much goes for every single identity you have which is not your deepest identity as Absolute Infinity.
