i agree completely with OP. the concept of eternity has extreme metaphysical implications

funny, i just pondered something similar due to dream experiences the other day. you've literally died a thousand times in your dreams. everytime a dream ends, thats a death. the character of the dream is gone forever, vanished. im fairly certain real death is not that different from ending a dream

easy. god is both existence and non existence; this is implicit in the concept of infinity

beautifully written, great to have u back on the forums. high quality post as always completely agree, god is lack of control; id however say ego is the ILLUSION of control.

this is indeed the biggest lol ive seen in a while. im lost for words

lol

literally cant believe this guy......literally have to restrain myself from commenting everytime i read your comments because they are always permiated by extreme degrees of obvious arrogance, narcisism and superiority complex, claiming you are just on the verge of dissolving your very last spark of karma. LOL. the obviousness is what makes restraining a bit easier i guess, because its ridicolus at this point.

you really shouldnt underestimate ayahuasca in a shamanic setting. these bois have experiemented with the stuff for centuries, developing and perfecting techniques and methods for enhancing and utilizing the effects. speaking from personal experience, they truly know their craft, and a psychedelic experience in a ceremonial, shamanic setting is completely different from taking psychedelics in ordinary fashion

think about it; all physical objects can be reduced to their composition of molcules; this is virtually impossible to do with consciosuness. say you locate the "source" of consciousness in the brain, a certain neurotransmitter. how would you correlate that neurotransmitter with consciosuness? the neurotransmitter in itself is not physically consciousness. whatever you label the source of consciosuness, you will have a massive explanatory gap, since you will never be able to prove the correlation between your labelled source of consciousness, and consciosuness in itself. with water for example, you prove that water exists because of a certain arrangement of molecules, namely H2o. You can create water from Ho2, and you can reduce water to Ho2. its a perfect correlation that explains the structural arrangement of water in every scenario. this is impossible to do with consciosuness. consciousness has no physical appearance. likewise with a thought; when you have a thought of an image in your mind, you find no image in your physical brain - HOW IS THIS? comprehending this is FUCKING RADICAL. why is physicality accompanied by experience. you can never correlate physical phenomena with experience, because experience is formless and physicality is not.

truly comprehending the radicality of the hard problem of consciousness should make everyone question materialism

this is actually a good point

@Xonas Pitfall masterfully done

wow i fucking love hyperdimensional shit. super interesting report. DMT realm is the place to go if u wanna go full hyperdimensional

i smoked weed earlier today, and i got totally fucking blown away. it was SUPER psychedelic, nearing god consciosuness i would say. there was no distinction between my body and the world at all. I became my entire sphere of experience without any discrimination. ALL me, totally alone. very solipsistic. a sense of loneliness struck me, but i quickly realized that i only felt lonely in virtue of my conceptualization of the incident. the experience itself was not lonely, only my thoughts surrounding it, and my thoughts are not truth. I was able to understand at a pretty high level how i was creating my entire existence, and how i was deluding myself into thinking i was a seperate human being. i created gurus, leo, everybody, just for the joy of it i guess. and my conceptualization around it all was the dream / delusion. its all a fucking illusion. I broke out in laughter in the middle of my city, because I realized that every single apperance / object / thing in existence is literally God itself screaming at itself HERE I AM, HOW STUPID ARE YOU. nothing exists which is not that. It got pretty intense and it kind of terrified me. i felt like i was being sucked into the vortex of existence. felt like i was about to leave my body or something. enlightenment is the most obvious thing ever because its all there is (im not enlightened, but would label this an enlightenment experience) god is a never ending party. this is existence. it fucks itself for ever

yes this is my conclusion as well

given that eternity already is the case, if eternal non existence were ever to be, it should be the case right now. See even if you were to attain a lasting state of non existence, nothing would prevent it from popping back into existence again. and this moment is proof that it will the unmanifest is the manifest didnt someone say something like that once?

beautiful

@VeganAwake i feel like i got the cosmic joke for a second. its literally fucking hilarious. everything you've ever been searching for has always been all that has ever existed. its always been right in front of your fucking eyes, and not only that, YOU FUCKING ARE IT. its so fucking funny man. HAHAHAHAH. literally the greatest possible joke in all of eternity. god has a fucking mindblowing sense of humor. LOL!!!!!!

ive been getting heavily back into pickup lately. ive been getting pretty nice results, and id say my game is pretty good by now. I'm totally chilled out, relaxed and myself when i talk to girls, in nearly all cases. i have no problem walking up to a girl asking for her instagram or if she wants to go home with me, stuff like that. HOWEVER. I now find myself in a situation where i've acquired a pretty intense crush. and i find that i fucking cant talk to her lol. we've flirted around quite a bit, both shown interest in one another,had some nice conversations and such. then we didnt see eachother for about a week, and during that time my crush on her grew dramatically lol. i then ran into her today, and i was FUCKING CRIPPLED by anxiety lol. couldnt talk to her casually, couldnt keep proper eye contact, etc. how the fuck does one talk to a girl that they actually like? (IVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE, SO LITERALLY NEVER TRIED IT(not that im in love with her)). also, how the fuck do i practice this? i feel like its kind of a waste practicing on my crush now that i finally have a crush. i was pretty surprised by this, since i should be a master of anxiety by now (i do cold showers every day, breathwork, meditate etc, so i have pretty decent control over my nervous system)

@Javfly33 i know i raged on you in one of my other posts, but this super true. thanks haha

i'd make the case that even physical pain is not negative, until the mind labels it negative. ive been practicing cold showers for a long time now, and once the mind quits labelling the experience, the experience of icy water hitting the body is itself just another experience. the body literally does not give a fuck what happens to it, the mind does. the body itself is a zero fuck giver this is of course a radical statement, and i'd also submit that there exist cases of such extreme pain that the mind inevitabelly makes the experience negative. ID ASSUME? who knows.

I think the burden of proof is on the rejectors of god realization. Their claim is that god realizations are a product of the brain. Okay, lets take that point of view: We have an experience of life. We dont know why its here, but we assume its generated by the brain. We also do not know why the brain is here. The brain neither explains itself nor does it explain the surrounding reality. There exists an experience, which we call god realization. This experience explains itself totally. It also explains what we call life or reality, and thus it also explains the existence of the human brain. Looking at it through these parameters: logically, god realizations should be the more plausible reality? The brain does not explain god realization, but god realization explains the brain. I'm having a hard time finding plausible arguments which reject god realization. The only one i can come up with, is that in God realizations, consciousness is eternal, but consciousness SEEMINGLY can disappear (or not?) during for example deep sleep or buddhist cessations / nirvakalpa samadhi Further, I also find that it would be incredibally random if the human brain, which evolved solely with the purpose of survival, should evolve to be able to generate experiences such as God realization. It seems completely unnecessary, when looking at the main objective of the evolution of the human brian, which is survival.

i like this. the intelligence of god operates even where there is no experience

really? the thing is that this is one of the first times i've smoked weed since i enbarked my spiritual journey. so i basically havent smoked weed for the better part of 3 years. it was completely without comparison, in terms of how it used to affect me before spiritual practice. but i believe you, this was the highest lvl of understanding i've ever had of reality, even compared to LSD / ayahuasca states i've experience. i havent done 5meo, but it was kind of what i imagine 5meo to be. basically no visuals, just pure heightened understanding/consciousness, and a sense of breaking your physical boundary and melting with everything. im very tempted to try it again

i agree. spiritual practice is the way to a good life, psychedelics dont provoke change if you dont change your life. however true insights about the nature of reality can be gathered through psychedelics, and i've been able to empirically verify this for myself. interactions with the external physical world is possible through certain states of consciousness
