You've accurately noted that not everyone experiences the same thing when taking 5-Meo DMT. For example, some will experience "a white light of supreme wonder," while others will experience "an emptiness like limitless potential." Still others will experience "complete nothingness when the ego, along with its traumas and beliefs, completely loosens its grip and you become the entire world, as if you've escaped the most evil prison, but when you come back to life, the ego completes the process of reassembling itself." I've described this schematically. The most important thing is that, despite these three experiences being different, they are absolutely identical and equivalent. Personally, I honestly can't describe what it was like for me. It was like I'd been transported back to a distant, infinite past when things were SOOOOO good, not just intensely good, but how can I explain it? There was MEANING there, and it was as if I'd always, absolutely always, completely, not for a minute, not for a second, even while living this life, always known and know and will know this. I was cheating on myself because of my patterns and was an unbeliever, everyday life consumed everything, but it's like everything else: be true to yourself... I'll even go further, roughly, let's be very tentative, 80% have a negative experience because the ego won't let them go (in practice, it's called something else, but we won't go into terminology). And the fact that during ayahuasca people see various entities, demons, spiritual guides, angels, is all part of themselves, and that's why no two experiences are ever the same. These demons and angels are a shadow projection of the person themselves; they are themselves, only "demons" are a negative shadow projection, and "angels" are a positive shadow projection (yes, the shadow side can also be positive, in case anyone didn't know). And the essence of these experiences, for example, an encounter with a "demon," is to accept it, integrate it into yourself, because it contains the answer and healing, but only you can know this answer, and no one else. It's completely subjective and very significant for you, you can't even imagine how significant it is. It's the same with angels. You are both an angel and a demon in one person, in fact. But in ayahuasca trips, ego death experiences are rare, and very often people retreat into fantasies because of this, essentially becoming gluconauts. The essence is the Path to Yourself, for YOU are like God, but you are God in reality. And live a REAL life. Create, love, do good.

In a certain sense, perhaps even in the full sense, yes, it is a fiction. But here we need to clarify something. The thing is, chakras, or demons, or angels, are structures in your psyche, or ego, if you want to call them that. And you can work with them as a model, if you accept it. Personally, I rarely use the word "chakras" and then only in colloquial and even joking manner. Take, for example, the lower chakra, Muladhara, it is the energy of the earth, a connection to reality, firmness, reliability. Then there's the chakra, Manipura, for example, it is will, determination, and, if I remember correctly, Anahata is the heart chakra, Sahasrara is the connection to the cosmos. I remember one woman telling me that my Sahasrara is open, but the lower chakras are closed. Ahahaha. That was a long, long time ago. I asked her, "Why do I need the lower chakras? Let's just take the upper seventh one right away." It was a naive approach. Speaking of kundalini energy, it activates all the chakras. When all your chakras are activated, you're like a celestial being. And see how it really works. The point isn't the chakras at all; they're just a model, a convenient model for working with the psyche. The point here is to become a whole, complete person, and you don't necessarily have to work with the chakras or demons, for example, with your "dark side." You can take a completely different approach. You wrote it correctly; at the most enlightened level, these are just fantasies. The point is for your "true energy" to flow and express itself through you, because that's who you are. For example, you can work with your body instead of just the chakras, which is much more effective. Wherever you're experiencing a spasm right now—in your throat, in your chest, or your head, where your energy is tense—is this blocking your energy? You might be holding yourself back, maybe forbidding yourself, maybe embarrassed, maybe not accepting yourself. The point here is to be yourself and in touch with yourself. That's all. Nothing more is needed. And what's next for you to say? And then you'll understand everything yourself, and the most interesting part is just beginning. It's right that by dissolving the ego, having such an experience, you no longer block this energy within yourself; it flows freely and expresses itself through you. That's why the experience of ego death, for example, in a psychedelic trip, is considered the pinnacle of achievement and the primary goal. The goal isn't to travel through worlds and gain impressions, but to find contact with yourself. This is truly the most incredible thing and the most fundamental thing that should be. Well, if you really, really want to use the "chakra system" like that—well, it's a complete obsession, you like it. Then there's only one option: chakras DO NOT exist, and even if they do, there's only one, the Heart Chakra, so develop it.

As someone who studies quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, I'd say it's all much more interesting... And quantum fields aren't exactly what they seem to be; they're cutting-edge, but they're still in the research stage, and that's not a given. It's not fields that are fundamental, but so-called "vacuum oscillators," and certain "symmetry principles" that are fundamental. I'm putting this in quotation marks for a reason, because there's no clear definition yet; it's a rough draft in the research stage. As for the theory of relativity, in Minkowski's five-dimensional spacetime (Einstein worked with him, and so did Lorentz and Poincaré, but we won't go into details), time is the same coordinate as space, and evolution or development simply doesn't exist there. And "time" itself in this 5-dimensional space-time is a "world line," and when something happens, the "event" is again in quotation marks, because there are no equivalents to this in our 4-dimensional space-time. And light in 5-dimensional space doesn't MOVE, and you or anything at rest already moves at the speed of light by default, and this is two of the many reasons why nothing can move at the speed of light in our 4-dimensional space-time. I'll even say more: if you look at the metric tensor, time comes first, and space comes second, so it's more logical to call it time-space, not space-time. And time is always energy, so what does that mean? Energy is primary... Question... A little joke - theorists constantly want to simplify everything and make it uniform, while experimenters, on the contrary, want to discover something new. Does this prove that Consciousness is primary from a scientific perspective? No. Science doesn't work that way. And that's normal for her. Science has its own rules, and if you don't follow them, you're no longer doing science, but something else. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits of civilization. Is Consciousness primary? If you're interested in my humble, useless opinion, ahahaha. I'd say absolutely YES..

Cheer up! Listen to some brutal and hot music For example: All or Nothing - Jeremiah Kane ; Escape From Reality Original Mix - Gysnoize

from an epistemological point of view it is correct

That moment in the movie was amazing. Do I want to do that myself? No, not this time.

@Someone here Being alone. Reminded me of that one guide on how to become a genius. Yeah, it's a bit clickbait, a bit of a joke. But there's some truth to it. What's the difference between a genius and you or me, for example? A genius has less junk in their head. Imagine, metaphorically, that your mind is a room, and in it, an orchestra is playing, a rock band is playing, in another, people are chatting, in a third, they're sorting things out, and somewhere... somewhere, a little mouse is squealing, but you won't hear it—that mouse is a bright idea. The point is, don't beat your head against a problem or question (which usually happens to some people), but simplify it and solve it or find an answer (simplify without sacrificing meaning, don't oversimplify). You just need to get rid of the information junk. If some nonsense comes into your head, just... POOF.

@Leo Gura Then I'm for Absolute Domination

It's not just another three-dimensional reality. You can see as if your eyes had grown all around your head, spherical vision, and it's an absolutely indescribable experience; you just have to experience it. But traveling in the astral plane of the physical world quickly becomes boring. Plus, you usually don't always end up where you intended, and it's extremely difficult to do everything as planned. I've only heard stories like that, and I doubt it. And everything they say online about the astral plane is a scam. Almost a scam. This requires diligent training, not just one month, or even a year. Yes, yes, yes, indeed, most often it takes several years of practice. Another important point: if you decide to take up these practices, start now, because the older we get, the more difficult it becomes.

@Jowblob Perhaps that's why it feels like I'm chatting with a GPT . I use an English translator, and it sometimes distorts things a bit.

@Jowblob I don't use a chatbot, and even if I do, it usually agrees with my opinion unless specifically asked to disagree. So, it doesn't even expand on my understanding; the most it can do is highlight nuances.

Start with the very first step—write them down, and don't get up abruptly, otherwise the dream will be forgotten immediately. But it won't help some people who have a feature called aphantasia, but since you wrote that you still see at least something, I dare to assume that you don't have it.

As I understand it, I will apply a rational and logical approach (logic is also part of God and Reality, and you cannot deny it, and logic is Beautiful, although God is beyond logic and everything else). I will manifest, so to speak, the "masculine principle," the "logical principle," the principle of Creation, the principle of Power and Will (at first, of course, I sense and feel it as the "feminine principle," okay, let's not get into wordplay. Let's begin. If we use this context (but it's just a context, the main thing is that it's currently working, not in an absolute sense, but that's not necessary for now), the Feminine, as I already wrote, is feelings, it is being itself, it is the heart, and in a sense it is more reasonable, and seemingly more primary and important, although in reality both are important and both seem to be nonexistent, it is One. But there must be Fullness. It is impossible to be on one side or the other. So Here you go. Many desires are illusory; they stem from ego structures, but behind them lies an unconscious part, the part that you also Are. These ego structures block the true energy of the Self—traumas, beliefs, limitations, and so on, for example. And liberation from desires is death; life is Desire itself, it is Pure Being, it is Pure Desire. The point is not to get rid of desires, but to let the flow of the "true self" flow (to free yourself, to release the spasms in your soul and body, to feel "flight," "peace," and "tide," so that it manifests through your ego, through your uniqueness. The point is not to get rid of the ego, but to get rid of the ego structures that have created a prison for your Consciousness, to allow you to see everything from different perspectives, multidimensionally/infinitely, and at the same time have your own position. The point is not to get rid of the ego, but to create a healthy ego so that you are as in touch with Reality as possible. To be like "Mercury" envelops objects, is them, and at the same time always is Yourself, plays with objects like "life" itself, or is like "fire"—it's always different, it's alive, it's primordial, and at the same time it's Fire and it's One, that metaphor. Or, as many say, "emptiness"—it fills everything, and at the same time is nothing. But these are just metaphors and concepts for understanding (if you think about it, "emptiness" is also something, so it can't be true emptiness, just Be ahahahaha). Sometimes I think that many spiritual teachings are missing what I just wrote, and I think they're talking nonsense. Practicing Nonduality and being in a non-dual state nonstop is just another religion, just another belief, it's not Nonduality. On the contrary, they lead you away from yourself, from true nonduality, which has no definition, otherwise it's already duality. This is just my opinion. I have a fantastic a flair for such things, the truth is somewhere nearby. Truth = Reality

Imposter Syndrome

Accepting reality as it is is important for several reasons: A foundation for development: A true understanding of the world around us provides a solid foundation for any action and achievement. Without a clear perception of reality, it is difficult to move forward effectively and consciously. Self-awareness: Being honest with oneself helps one recognize one's own limitations and strengths. This allows one to direct one's efforts where they will bring the greatest benefit. Practicality: Many abilities and achievements become possible by working within existing conditions and resources. Ignoring the real situation makes it difficult to realize one's plans. Mindfulness: Only by understanding and accepting reality can we clearly see paths for our further growth and change. Mindfulness opens access to inner resources and inspiration. Mental health: Accepting reality reduces stress and anxiety because it eliminates the internal conflict between expectations and reality. This creates favorable conditions for harmonious personal growth. Thus, accepting reality is a prerequisite for the full development of abilities at any level, including superpowers.

And they talk about "emptiness" and that everything is empty, as if they're experiencing derealization and depersonalization, which is a mentally unhealthy topic. After all, even if you take psychedelics, it's to become healthy, if we're talking about the true purpose of psychedelics, and not to cripple yourself. A digression. Emptiness in the context of Nonduality is Potential, Limitless Potential, without content, as if pregnant with existence. This is not emptiness in the conventional understanding of the mind.

That's all true. I also noticed one more thing. Many people talk about "emptiness" or "non-duality" or "nothingness"... Forgetting the most important aspect—they don't know Love. Although I personally am extremely skeptical when someone talks about love in spiritual movements, because they are too primitive, there is a grain of truth, albeit only vaguely.

I noticed that it's just an observation, a mere version. When someone talks about superpowers, it probably means there's still this spark of the “inner child” burning within them, which is closest to what we call “God.” Remember how in the Bible it says, “Only those who are like children will enter the kingdom of heaven.” Moreover, it shows that a person wants to transcend limitations, they understand they're not just their body. It's more accurate to say that they are both their body and something greater than merely being a body. However, there’s another childishly immature position here. If you want real-world development, truly create something impossible or perfect—something so breathtakingly amazing—you must first accept reality as it is, be honest with yourself and with reality. Only by working with tangible things can you achieve something genuinely valuable, interesting, and truthful. My personal stance on superpowers at this moment is purely subjective. If you're fixated solely on them, it might seem somewhat juvenile. Why do I think so? Because there are far cooler and more fascinating things out there. But if we're going to continue discussing superpowers anyway, let me allow myself to dream for a bit. I'd love to have Super Intelligence and Super Imagination, where even our current concept of “God” seems primitive. Imagine an ant's consciousness suddenly becoming human-like but then reverting back to an ant while retaining some of that experience (not all because an ant's brain can't hold onto a human memory). Another superpower would be the ability to ignite people's hearts, like performing a magic trick and seeing people go, “Wow, how did you do that?” ahahaa Yes, superpowers are quite intriguing, why not indulge when appropriate? And one last observation: when someone talks about superpowers, chances are everything is alright with them—it means your mind is active. This topic wouldn't interest you if you were depressed or life had severely disappointed you. So, what's most important here is connecting with your spirit. That's your primary superpower. The rest will follow naturally; it'll guide you itself. You're already living through it now, but the spirit will affirm you in reality and honesty. There's no need to play roles or pretend to be something you're not. Even when playing social roles, you're doing so from a place of authenticity, bringing depth, variety, freedom, and openness into your actions.

I remembered how, as a child, I and two other friends tried to summon aliens in a small park in the fall. Real, highly evolved aliens. We had a story that these super-intelligent beings could endow us with superpowers. And I remember how I identified my main superpower – to create objects out of thin air, out of nothing at all, pure magic, ahaha. From my vantage point, I understand a little of this other meaning: that life, the spontaneity of life, is always the creation of something new, original, a unique moment, without copying anyone, and with no limits, creation literally out of nothing, it's like spontaneous dance, when you just do it without thinking, everything happens naturally. Of course, it can't compare to the "Dance of Shiva," ahaha, but this small act is identical to the divine. You can extrapolate everything else and everything everyday here, for example, singing, or telling stories with inspiration, or creating something. That's why I needed aliens. To become like the gods . I just remembered.

And anyway, who said boredom is bad and you should forbid yourself from experiencing it? It didn't just happen. But that would be cutting yourself off. You're basically amputating yourself, hahaha

Let's start with the fact that I am I, and You are YOU. And I'm not talking about egoism or separation. There's no such thing as needing to connect with your Higher Self or anything else, get rid of your ego, or become someone. This is all manipulation, most often—not always, but often—that goes into it. You don't need to connect with your Higher Self, you don't need to become someone, you need your True Self, or let's say your Higher Self, ahaha, to manifest through you. And your ego, it kind of blocks your Self. I don't know how to explain it correctly. Yes, it's you, and the ego as well, but... I don't know how to explain it, try to understand it intuitively, ahaha. Regarding boredom—love and boredom, like loneliness, are completely incompatible. If you are love, boredom is impossible. Boredom is something telling you, like monotony, something not engaging you, low energy, or increased irritability. And yes, boredom is rooted in the ego, and that's normal. Perhaps boredom is signaling something within your psyche, like a need to go for a walk or do something useful or interesting, or something else entirely. Here, you need to look at the situation at hand, not generalize. Regarding "I" being "I," and "You" being "YOU." There is only one "I," meaning your "I" is no different from any other "I," it's "One I." BUT. Don't think you're someone else, either. "You" being "YOU." Somehow, assert yourself.

@Ramasta9 You touched on the topic of archetypes. This is Jungian psychology, and you can agree with it or not. But since I studied psychology, I can say for sure that "archetypes" exist in all psychologies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and Gestalt psychology, where I think they're called "archetypes." I can't remember right now what or where they're called, but they're definitely present in all of them; there are no exceptions. Therefore, the concept of "archetypes," although a conditional model, still relates to reality, regardless of one's point of view. And if we adhere to Jungian psychology, he has, so to speak, an "archetype" that unites all archetypes, the truest archetype. But few people in life can reach it, perhaps even no one. The thing is, to get to it, you need to work with the repressed and denying parts of yourself. First, you need to dive into your "dark side," which is actually "light." It's just dark because of its perverted manifestation in life. You can look at collective neuroses, at maniacs, these are all manifestations of the repressed "dark side." And since you repress it and suppress it, it doesn't stop being there. On the contrary, it gains even greater power over the psyche and life of the subject, and at the same time becomes unconscious, but palpable, like an obsession, and at the same time it destroys everything, because it is not recognized by society, for example, or you yourself deny it, you don't like it, you are disgusted with yourself. Moreover, the "dark side" conceals something extremely valuable and powerful, something that is currently unimaginable until you "know yourself." In short, only through self-love, through self-acceptance, can one attain this Integrity, this Fullness, and I'm not afraid to use the word Infinity, because it is like God and lies beyond the mind. And so, it's all a game of fantasy, archetypes. There's nothing wrong with that, why not, when yes, ahahaha. And yet, it's the Essence that is needed. This is closer to that very Non-duality, or to your Soul, or to yourself, to simply Be. I often use the phrase "Just Be." Honestly, I don't know how else to describe it. Just BE.

@Mellowmarsh I would even say consciousness is like mercury: mercury flows around every form, becomes it, and at the same time is never soaked by objects, always independent. And you have to be like mercury, ahaha. It's just a metaphor, or one of the metaphors. And no, I haven't listened to Sadhguru enough; yes, I recently heard that he's doing some manipulations with mercury. But that approach isn't my thing; I can't accept it. And I accept what I don't accept. This is who I am. I simply Am.

@Ramasta9 "That got me thinking about modern language, how English is so far off Sanskrit and the ancient languages, where the words themselves and the sound-vibration they emit were / are far closer representations of what the actual thing sounded like. In one ancient language the term for fly was Mizzz.. makes sense right? yet english we call it fly..." Studying languages, their origins, philology—that can be interesting. It's immersion in culture, psychology, sociology, even the essence and processes of consciousness. Yes, there's something definitely appealing about that. This is how God, who has no meaning and who possesses all meanings, manifests himself. You can even discard the concept of "God" because it's just an image.

These are just mind games. As the enlightened would say, ahaha, listen to your heart. The heart is also reason, only more intellectual, so to speak, but it lacks the usual rational process, although it is the most rational and sensible. And yes, it can be irrational and even radical from the standpoint of common sense, but that's only superficial.
