ExploringReality

I like that. Question, have humans always centralized power? Are any new ideas in this domain worth considering or are they just pie in the sky, new age civilization and utopian fairytales? Are humans really this predictable?

Girl you on fire 🔥

No matter how much you play the game, your on their board. Even your retirement account is feeding into their portfolios

@Leo Gura Basically your grounding the discussion in realpolitik? one economic collapse, AI disruption, climate breakdown, or resource war and the paradise falls apart. I 💯 percent agree with you, compared to how brutal it is and was, I don't take my freedom and safety for granted at all. But I'm not gonna shut up and say it's perfect.

@Leo Gura there’s enough for everyone, but the way power has been organized makes sure it never reaches us. If this is the best we managed, it's a nightmare

To truly see beyond context, you’d have to fall outside of context, which ego interprets as groundlessness, nothingness, or death. Context is a convenience. A way of packaging the unpackaged. Ego is a web of meaning.

That's a context to a song, a long story through life or possibly an awesome movie 🤘😎

First and foremost I want to apologize, last time we interacted I came off a dick. I'm sorry. Yes, psychedelics do things that nothing else could, but it doesn't replace the practice, it enhances them if used responsibly. When was the last time you tripped? And why have you decided not to if you don't?

Context in its purest form, is the condition of conditions, the infinite background in which all specific contexts arise.

What is this experience that we are having right now? Why colors? Why sounds? Why feels? What the fuck is all this? How is any of this possible? How am I able to be conscious of existence?

@Carl-Richard Mental masturbation is a trap we all fall into. But having the will and desire to understand something isn't something I take for granted. its not so much the intellectual knowledge of these philosophical contemplations I'm after, it's the direct hit of what these things are. It's the difference between looking at your fingers vs thinking and imagining about your fingers.

Danm. Life must be good

Go look at an Escher drawing 😂

An object is the context of it being that object. Context is the distinction of context. Emotions are sensations in the mind. The mind is not separate from the body. The body is something occuring in the Mind. I am open to the possibility of being directly conscious of the true nature of Context Beyond interpretation.

All context is imaginary and being imagined right now. Mind in the way I use it can only be grasped after you trip so hard you realize everything is mental. Inside and outside, emotions, thoughts and external reality are part of the same one Mind

@theleelajoker it's easy to conflate what I said from a certain point of view. I never said spirituality had to be this grueling path of hard work and chores, that was your conclusion out of what I wrote. Don't bullshit yourself, real work is real work and once you get disciplined and take action and do the things your ego mind tries to avoid, then you can let loose and have a bit of fun. It's like boxing, you master the fundamentals and then you can dance in the ring. You don't want to learn all the fancy footwork and dances because you'll get your head popped back and your ass handed to you real quick from a lack of balance, discipline and hard work.

The Absolute

These are strong metaphysical assumptions. First, what is an object literally? Pick any object around you. And notice what's actually there. Try to put your awareness on it like putting a tree on fire. Are you implying that there is real reality we are only interpreting through the lens and filters of context, and that independent of this way of seeing is the thing in it of itself? Reality without context.

Mind is Infinity. Infinity is Mind

Appreciate you. You know, that's an interesting question. I don't have an answer for that. One thing I have noticed after not taking psychedelics for over five years, is I can get state complacent. Like the fire of my spiritual thirst is a bit low. Since there is so much to integrate as well, there can be a stabilization period, or a plateau. But this path is a life long journey, so there will be little and big intervals, phases and changes but I wouldn't worry to much if psychedelics hinder our spiritual progression and consciousness awakenings unless self validated or confirmed otherwise bro

You guys!!! I figured it out. Context is Mind. It's the waves on the shores of Empty Mind. There are infinite requisite varieties of Contexts and each possible context is like a grounding string that holds your sense of sanity together. Think of any possible context right now! Okay you might start by observing your immediate surroundings and conclude the basic context in which you exist right now is you standing on some firm ground in some place around some town on some planet etc, if not your own personal or psychological context or where you find yourself right now emotionally and financially. But either way no matter what context you're able to grasp right now, try to notice that it's being held by your mind. That specific context or any context, doesn't exist out there in the world. Because the same context can be looked at in many different ways by many different people. Your context is specific. Context is. I don't know what the fuck it is. Lol

Psychedelics can open the flood gates of consciousness and mind. My position is this. You must already be doing spiritual work, consciousness work, heavy existential contemplation, already doing advanced nuanced personal development and self actualization. Have a healthy eating habit, already moving towards your life purpose. Know what your values and passions are. Lots of study and theoretical knowledge as a foundation. Deep study of epistemology and a deep thirst for spiritual Transcendence are keys for making the most of your trips. Also understanding beforehand that these trips don't last and to not mistake these for permanent transformation or consciousness. You must know to continue your integration after our journey and to continue doing the daily grind, bringing the transcendental back into the relative. Also you must study self deception and how the ego deludes and conflates these experiences. Basically study Leo Gura, Ramana, Alan Watts really good before you do them and to be aware of mind projecting these people's ideas onto your trip.

@Razard86 Absolutely bro 🔥 your on fire, thanks for your input
