Rarely. I may be using a VPN for accessing random websites and then login in the forum without noticing. Also, my device uses iCloud Private Relay, in Safari. I don’t really now what it is, though; may have similar functionality than a VPN.

Yes! Thank you. A really valuable contribution.

Nothing is.

@Carl-Richard Good one

Stage red, then? “But I didn’t shoot anybody!” A gentle, stage blue criminal.

Stage blue: as long as it makes you money, it doesn’t really matter what you do.

After awakening:

Silence is also conversation.

@Jakuchu yep.

The more relaxed, the more effective. Discipline and commitment are simple, straightforward.

By not deliberately creating a purpose for yourself, you might have fallen into a disempowering one by default.

The INTP: Personality… etc.

Could you give some examples? Just curious.

A genuine insight is self-validating. Consider the Eureka! moment of Archimedes. You find it. It’s a insight. Or an Apple falls on your head — gravity! Otherwise you confuse what an insight is with some intellectual process, like becoming convinced.

@JayySur fellow psycho! Haha. @Max8 it means our egos are way too honest, lie a little once in a while. Aim for 0% in both categories.

@Osaid Lol

@Blackhawk it can happen in an instant, that’s the goal. It is always instant. Consider Maharshi’s case.

2hrs 40mins paid work? What do you do? Is it a golden one?

AL-LAD, an LSD analogue. Great for newbies. It produces a pleasant and smooth experience, gentler than LSD. Also magic truffles of a low-intensity mushroom, like Tampanensis Atlantis. Always start with a low dose and gradually go up from there. Gain more experience with other psychedelics before trying 5meo. No rush.

@Leo Gura isn’t ontology more fundamental than metaphysics and epistemology? What is is prior to knowledge or even “reality”. In contemplation, what we are basically doing is asking an ontology question: “What is X?” Right? So, with that wider use, why don’t you emphasize it?

Buddha wanted to transcend life and death. That was his main focus. The suffering part? I mean… he could have been motivated to pursue awakening by suffering, but freedom from life and death is, I’d say, was his real “purpose”. Of course it turns out that in order to transcend something you msut first get deeply conscious of what that is. But really, with complete awakening, focusing on suffering sounds like empathy for other people so that they can focus on pragmatic matters, et al.

Tick, tack. 4 hours.

Get you, then we’ll talk.
