So, you're a Freemason... Let me know when you'll get promoted to be a member of the Illuminati, I'll teach you for 1/10 of your gold reserves.

Are you the distortions or the awareness of them? You don't have to cast away anything, you can enjoy the distortions until you're utterly bored of them. There's no need to rush the awakening, you have all the time in the world to enjoy anything you want.

What would be your attitude if you were not afraid of the fire? How would it feel like if you were just as curious about experiencing brain damage as you want to keep your health? How would you talk if you knew that every part of life is a safe environment for the soul to play in? I'm not saying that you shouldn't be responsible for the people of this forum. These questions has very little to do with the apparent role we're playing here.

Forgetfulness is part of the process. Mukti talks about it, but she has a more loving approach to it. For me "ego backlash" sounds like a harsh judgment. As you step out of your previous paradigm your mind becomes disoriented, it doesn't know anymore what is important, what to keep in mind, so of course it forgets things. Just use some reminders, don't worry about it too much.

Winterknight made a short video about this:

I was just calling his bluff

So... What's the question? If you're comfortable with life as it is, then what are you searching for?

@Leo Gura if you're against mixing mdma with psychedelics, then isn't it the most important thing for your development to try this experience asap?

I think mixing mdma with a psychedelic is a great way to learn to love the effects of the psychedelic you're taking. But I've tried it only only with weed. Weed often reminds me of negative memories. Mdma makes me feel happy and thankful for every experience. Mixing these two made me realize that one of the reasons why I was born was to feel the bliss of forgiving life for everything that has ever happened. In one moment I just forgave everything. I can't describe the feeling I felt when I let go of all the weight of all my resentments.

I love that book. Don't forget to balance it out with some Mukti

There are two approaches to deal with fear: breathe out and breathe in. The breathe out approach: Ask yourself: are you the one who is afraid or are you aware of the fear. How does it feel to be the space in which the fear appears? The breathe in approach: Ask yourself: how are you creating the present moment? Whether you think of yourself as a brain or as consciousness, you are creating the present moment. Or at least you're "rendering" it, just like the graphics card renders the graphics of a computer game. So, how are you creating every experience moment by moment? How does the fear appear, how are you creating it? How does it feel to create fear? Don't think about the answer, just feel it. The purpose of this approach is to become very intimate with fear, to completely feel every little detail of it.

I think Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now speaks to orange, because it clearly explains the craziness of the mind. Eckhart doesn't talk about love or anything that might repel an orange person. He simply explains that you are crazy It was the first spiritual book that really put me on the path.

Ram Dass must be green because he's almost a vegetable... Okay, it was cruel, sorry I don't know much about Ram Dass I think Alan Watts was at least yellow because he held many seminars for different kinds of people, and he had at least one enlightenment experience on lsd. He might have been even turquoise and enlightened because he speaks very clearly about everything.

I had this experience many times in sleep. Mostly happens when I'm "charged up", like going to sleep right after listening to holosync. Once I was lucid dreaming and I tried to let go of the dream and then it happened.

You're welcome. I haven't heard about him before, I just did a YouTube search after I saw this thread. I like his style and approach so I already bought one of his audio course. Thank you for mentioning him here!

I think few people know him because he doesn't really have a YouTube presence. If you want to popularize him, start sharing this video, actualized.org will love it :

I'm afraid of everything which is not inevitable. Fortunately, death is.

For how long could you enjoy happiness if you knew that it wasn't true, if it was imagination? If you could experience only happiness, wouldn't you be curious about other states of being? Now that you know states other than happiness, would you feel whole if you were experiencing only happiness?

Matt Kahn helped me a lot. He has a way of talking that doesn't blame the ego for everything, he has a more love oriented approach.

Yes, I agree. In the state of acceptance there's nothing to do. And anything can be done through you. And I would like to add that acceptance is not required for anything because life already accepts everything on your behalf. But there's greater peace in you when you know that you're one with life.

Acceptance is not something that you "do". Acceptance is a fact of reality. Look around. Everything that you see, hear, feel is already accepted by consciousness, otherwise you wouldn't experience it. Space already accepts every object in it. Silence already accepts every sound in it. Acceptance means to realize that you are one with the accepting field of existence.

Then why are you trying to correct me? Does truth need enforcing? I'm just trying to understand your attitude

People are like "I don't want to die today, I'll do it next time" Stop procrastinating death! Just sit down, choose your most comfortable meditation position and let death take you. Let it take away all your future and all your past. Let yourself die to the present moment. Life, as we mostly know it, is all about our memories of the past and our plans for the future. The afterlife is simply the present moment.

So the Nothingness over there is getting offended if it's called "you"?

Not my thoughts. I'm just using everyday language. Do you know any non-dual language we can switch to?
