You are awesome, I love the simplicity and effectiveness of Rupert's pointings/portals to knowing being.

You are already at the highest level of consciousness from absolute point of view, so scratch that goal. For the relative, What you should strive for is to do to others what you want to be done to you. Thats simple enough and I only hope you're not masochistic ?

Then the real question is, if there is a camera there to record the cutting of the head, would this event be possible? I am sure if there was a camera there it would just show his body unaltered, just like it is while you are in the dream and dreamless state.

What you experience during the trip does not affect the sober reality. If you destroy the universe in your 5meo trip it doesnt destroy the world in which your body lives, otherwise how are we typing now? For sure someone has destroyed the world as you say in their 5meo trip, you cant be the first to have experienced this. So there is your answer. PS: From one of Leo's Trips he reported that his head got split in half by a ninja. I've seen videos of him after the trip and he either glued it together or what happens in the trip is not in the same realm as so called "reality". * If his head was really cut in half, then he would not be able to make videos after that.

most times, add me: DodosterChess

I would suggest what Eckhart Tolle has taught me when I was experiencing difficulties with extreme loss. Im paraphrasing " The world is not there to make you happy, it is there to challenge you. The interesting thing is that when you stop expecting the world or situation to satisfy you, it usually flips and shows you it's friendly/benign face." I'm sure you can work something from that, but its more than an idea for the book, rather something one can use in the book of their own life with decent rate of success

Your experience right now is also mystical but your mind has normalised it.

The question makes no sense to me Edit: to clarify why it makes no sense to me: Nonduality is simply being. Has anyone experienced being beforw they knew about it? Ofcourse?! Only Everyone ever. Even your dog

This is simple, the lottery is about odds- maths and about luck. I have more insight into the strange world of luck than most others on this forum, due to my 12 year old fascination in the game of poker, which is a big mixture of skill and luck. There is no evidence to suggest that any sort of Karma is responsible for how the deck of cards is ordered after a random shuffle. So too the numbers drawn in a lottery have nothing to do with Karma. Ofcourse in poker AND in the lottery there is some sort of skill involved if you want to improve your chances of winning. This is *not* done by praying and/or doing good deeds, but by applying mathematical concepts such as combinatorics, right odds and percentages. By applying these one can have much better odds at winning the lottery, but it would still require an enormous amount of luck to do it from a single game. In the long run, however, as we move closer towards big number of attempts, the one who played it smart and had the better odds will outperformed the one who just played randomly. TLDR: Irrespective of whether you are a good or bad person, what is more important in games that include chance is to simply have better odds than your opponents. Casinos do that and they win consistently, even though many would argue that their karma is not the best out there.

@trenton we should play some chess, what's your chesscom id

I do have an account on chesscom (DodosterChess) rating 1000 and on chess24 (GustaffsonGambit) rating 1300 Yeah I'm not even master level, but I'm at a level of play where I can appreciate the beauty and complexity of the game BTW also check out the new tournament Pogchamps which aims to popularise chess

That's the one. I was rooting for Hikaru who is doing a chess boom on twitch

Those who take psychedelics will all deny this. Because it has been said it's like a magic pill for enlightenment. If you say it's actually hurting their progress, now they would feel they are at ground zero and no progress has been made towards Enlightenment If you take the magic pill away, then they have to be a beginner again, just like everybody else...

so you succeeded before you began

I am a big fan of ASMR, so this video naturally floated on top of my youtube recommendations. Once I started listening, My nonduality started tingling. I have gone full circle as my ASMR and nonduality addictions merged into One video. Enjoy this masterpiece Choose how to use it, it may help you fall asleep and wake you up at the same time

Piece sacrifice you say? Have you seen GMstockfish? Are you following the online tournaments? I am a chess fan myself. Did you see that Dubov first place in the recent superGM tournament - over Hikaru and Magnus... What a crazy tournament that was, you must watch the games https://www.chess.com/live/game/4954028578

Non-dual translation of Que sera sera Today, now, regardless of my gender I ask my guru what I am Am I pretty, am I rich Here’s what he says to me Ce qui est, c'est. Whatever is simply is The present is ours to be Ce qui est, c'est. What is, is In another instance of the same present moment I ask my guru what truth is here and now Do we have rainbows right now Here’s what my guru says Ce qui est, c'est. Whatever is simply is The present is ours to be Ce qui est, c'est. What is, is Now I have disciples of my own They ask their guru “What am I” Am I handsome, am I rich I tell them silently Ce qui est, c'est. Whatever is simply is The present is ours to be Ce qui est, c'est What is, is Ce qui est, c'est

Don't get out of your head, get fully in it / inhabit it.

Yeah I would say I have no evidence that kind of magic exists, as I have not experienced anything that is not "realistic" under this paradigm we live in. Everything in this reality follows some kind of logic which does not allow for crazy magic, except for tricks.

is breathing a siddhi

Amazing answer kind sir

There are many projections, I dont want to call any projection reality, no matter how real it looks and feels. The actual knowing of it in this moment is the only thing we can prove to ourselves is real. Just by noticing the undeniably real presence of knowing existance in this very moment - IT is real, even if what projects inside it is not real . For example, nothing within your dreams at night is real, but the real formless you is also there just as much as it is here in this higher level dream. The same knowing knows your dream state and your waking state. The content of both dream and waking are not controlled by the individual entity that you call "you". If it has form, it's a dream character. Inside your dream at night the real you is not any of the forms. So you can say that you've created the entire dream, but at the same time while you're in the dream you could have a horrible nightmare of being chased by a monster. Why on earth would you do that? TLDR: Mole or no mole, it's just a dream so whatevs

The real you is not the body or the mind. The real you, awareness itself, neither wants nor doesn't want a mole to be there in your instance of the dream. It just allows everything, even that creature (collection of perceptions, conceptions and food) we call you in regular speech, to exist.

Stupid from what point of view? "Stupid" can only be from the point of view of the ego/ mind/ separate entity that divides what Is into categories and labels. In reality no action/decision is inherently stupid, thinking makes it so. I see reality as one being (formless God/ pure awareness ) manifested as many different minds and forms (dreams within consciousness) . Ultimately all dreams report to the same being (isness), but while in the dream state, there is an experience of being separate. This is done so God can taste duality - because duality is something that isn't essential to reality. But it can be fun.

I havent read the comments but for me it's simple. Either praying happens or doesnt happen, there is no you to make the choice, the choice happens pre-determinately
