Easy there, young Padawan. I have the high ground.

What's memory? What is its purpose? And what are you even recalling? Chances are one wasn't even clear on what was actually happening at the time, except for one's subjective experience and viewpoint. Memory is pretty much biased from the beginning. Think about it: How do you recall? What do you do with your mind that you call recalling a past event?

@Eskilon I understand why you'd see it like that. But I've given up explaining myself at this point.

@Basman About three months, less than an hour a day.

Got it.

Let's see how long it takes people to make a religion out of this. @Leo Gura Lisan al'Gaib.

People keep ignoring that I've done my fair share of the substances, and yet are still dismayed when I say it's not IT. Believe whatever you want. Bringing heresy to the church is of course not going to be welcomed.

@Basman I told you I'd dedicate my second RD2 playthrough to you . Finally completed it.

It wasn't related to anything you said.

Pointing out bullshit - the form of love that nobody likes (and so isn't perceived as such).

Cats are truly superior to us apes.

haha

Wrong. That ain't enlightenment or awakening but most likely a change in mind state precipitated by the chemical. See what I mean? You somehow keep missing this. Oh well, c'est la vie. Blind leading the blind. @CARDOZZO Sounds about right. I wouldn't get too hung up on "roads" either.

Shure you do, shure you do.

You think you understand him or Adi Da. I recommend you put down the salvia for a time.

Oh, you did. "His" methods equally apply to the nature of this "direct" business. You probably already knew that, weren't paying enough attention, or deliberately misrepresented it to make your argument.

Did you really have to resort to lying to defend your little position? I wouldn't assume you guys are talking about the same things at all, or doing the same work - or that you understand him lol. That will be quite misleading for people who can't tell the difference - which is apparently most.

@Joshe 🤩🤩

Here, drink some chamomile tea.

You said it - regarding the quote. No reason to see methods as anything other than fabricated. Disliking or being discouraged by this reality is another matter.

It doesn't really matter how many times it's said, does it? I literally fell into and believed this fantasy, and I got myself out of it. I take no prisoners. This is a trap I wrote about years ago - of denigrating awakening to an experience. Let me ask you: were you "awakened" before you went down this drug path? Or did you turn to them because you thought they would awaken you? Extremely crucial point, do not overlook it! Nobody said that about enlightenment. But it's clear you're talking about chemically induced states, like with the mickey mouse. Whatever name is given, realizing the truth is not a function of the brain. I've personally derived this insight. Yet for some reason, you remain unwilling to seriously listen to and examine these points.

Including methods.

True. I made an assumption. It's possible it is not correct. On the other hand...

All philosophies are mental fabrications. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things. ― Avatamsaka Sutra

Good luck with that
