JUST MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT

Just so I know my mind is not bullshitting me I guess that starting psychedelics if you have a bad diet and stomach problems, isn't a great idea right ?

Go see a specialist. Meditate and self-inquire even more, like a lot more. Do the do nothing technique, and surrender totally. You need to go through it full force, otherwise it may stay for a very long time. That's the best I can do from here sorry

I don't really care about it you know, it just confirms the concepts in my mind, concepts that are in a sense needed to not create an identity out of it like the guys above said (well if you didn't make the concepts into an identity too ofc ...). That's what these mystical experiences are for (and psychedelics). You just peel over and over again your sense of self/your reality And you sense more and more that it's just one cosmic joke you play on yourself DO IT GUYS, HAVE THE CAT INSIGHT TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Will Well you can, it's only a belief in your head that says you can't, and it's not real

I would also add that it's not hard to make it happen. If you think about it for a while, it already happened many times in your past, you didn't know what it was back then (and since it happens before or after sleep, you thought it was part of the dream). So if you try to "summon" it now, do some affirmations and some techniques, it will happen almost every time. You just need to be open to it @cetus56 Didn't watch the video, I kinda yolo it What is this ?

The only value it has is to make you realize you can't only be this body/mind. If someone wants to make it a personality out of it, it's his problem. It's the same for every experience, even an enlitghtenement experience, it's not special, and the only thing that matters is the shift in consciousness that last after, not the experience in itself.

It doesn't really matter if it happens in this reality or not, it stills happen. What's important is the fact that you really know you can't be the body/mind, it doesn't make sense anymore.

Then just do the do nothing technique. You can't let go of a thought that triggers you emotionally though, without getting deep in it, and suffering of it untill it becomes silly to think it made you suffer in the first place. You can watch it and not acting as if you were it though, but you will still feel it, you can't by-pass that. The only way to "by-pass" it, is to go deep into the emotion, again and again until you can see through the illusion of it. That's the only way you can be free of an emotion.

That's like asking a newborn if he's gonna be straight, gay or asexual.

It's simple, the more you'll dig deep within, the more you'll realize this simple truth. So next time you'll be on the cushion, try to simply go deeper and deeper into yourself. Be totally uninterested in what your thoughts may come up with, and just go within. At first you will try to sense your belly, and you will only sense that for a while (that's ok). Then you will feel your all body, slowly starting to fade with every other perceptions around you. After some time, you will go into a zone of full awareness, only aware of itself. The last part is when you totally black out, there is nothing, literally nothing, and this is when it happens. (It is probably easier to do this in a really quiet room, but that's not necessary) When you're in the "void zone", time doesn't exist anymore, it is like deep sleep in a sense (even though it's a bit different) Two things can happen, either time will fly by extremely fast and you'll "wake up" 5 to 30 or even an hour after. Or an intense suffering will come up and you will instantly flee from it. You will fail many times because you will believe this suffering is real. What you will discover after many tries, is that the suffering is just your mind being confused about what it's discovering. Your mind think it is something separate from the whole, in its ignorance it tries to fight back against anything that doesn't make sense to it. The mind has created an identity from every bit of information it has incorporated in the brain, and since you actually think you are the brain (or the mind), every information that you think are true, forms what we call the "ego", which is nothing else than a collection of beliefs/thoughts. These beliefs are nothing else than a perspective, and the funny part is that everytime a different perspective is presented to you, you instantly bend one of your belief to fit yours, or you simply refuse to believe anything else and fight back one way or another. The mind is really a master to make himself believe it is those beliefs/thoughts. Worst than that, It make itself believe it is a unique being which is described by all those beliefs ... That's true for everything in your life, every time something triggers you, you can be sure there is ignorance there. Suffering only comes from a misconception of your true identity, negative emotions can only occurs when you lost your link to reality. There is a shorcut, and it's self-inquiry, self-inquiry and this kind of meditation that I'm talking about. Now I'm not saying this meditation is the only one to produce this experience, it's probably not the case at all, I can only talk about my experience What you will discover, after countless tries, is what is drawn above, which will translate into: - An infinite spaciousness in your sense of self, everything is hollow - You literally don't give a fuck about everything, nothing can shake you, you feel invincible. - An infinite spaciousness in your sense of self, you are everyone and everything, you are infinite. - An intimacy that is beyond everything that you ever experienced, infinite love, for everything and everyone. You may experience only partially feel these effects at first, that's totally normal and it's explained here. JUST DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do it

Fear is good. If you can face your fear and see what's beyond, this is what will awaken you the fastest. One of the best exercice is to face your fears even before confronting them, looking deeply into them. It's scary, but if you can do it once, you'll realize it's all a joke ...

No, you can do this whenever you want to. You can and you should practice mindfullness every time it is necessary, which is all the time. Don't buy into your thoughts, watch them everytime they come, don't go with them, just look at them. It's all good and dandy to meditate and self-inquire, but if in your daily life you're never present, how could you expect anything to change at all ? Spirituality is not a temporary activity, it's a way of living. You actually have to be present, not just on the cushion, but at your work, in the traffic, when you make love to your wife, when you play with your kids, when you exercice, when you browse the web, when you listen to music, whatever you're doing, do it with your total presence. That doesn't mean having no thoughts, that means being aware of the thoughts, not being them. Once you realize that, once you know that nothing can change the fact that the present is the only thing there is. You will awaken no matter what happens to you, because whatever happens is an expression of you, it will only fasten the process ...

@Sevi Oh, well, in 8 hour it will be 3 AM, so I guess I'll start tomorrow with you

The tears are real: You know what must be done

@see_on_see

Those who can There is no path and there is no one to attain anything. One way or another you have to get glimpses on that, because if you don't, you'll always seek, and you'll always think you are separate from it. Hence the endless seeking, the endless chase, of something that can't be thought of. But you will do it, again and again, untill your sense of self has been eroded enough to gives you the insight that you already are it even if you can't see and feel it. So you have to fuck up your identity to realize there is none in the first place, this part is difficult and can take a long time since you still think you are those emotions/thoughts. Basically you just meditate a lot, and slay the inner demon you fear the most, to realize that fear, just like any others emotions and beliefs are illusory/relatively true in nature. After that it is still challenging, even more than before, but since you don't attach your sense of self to those things, in a sense it is easier. At that point you change everything in your life, your diet, your friends, your job, where you live, you drop addictions you have, you spend more and more time doing nothing except being alive and realizing it's more fulfilling than anything else. It is not easy and it is not pleasant, it will drive you mad, and you will suffer a lot in the beginning. Everyone can do it, if they are brave enough to accept that cost, and everyone can be brave if they chose to. https://www.trinfinityacademy.com/courses/enlightenment-1-part-1-introduction-course/

Facing your inner demons, your beliefs, your habits, your sense of self. These things are way more epic than any video game you could ever play. This is the real game, which you are playing on yourself. Having glimpses about it is more satisfying than anything you could ever do in your life. So how does the real thing could be ? Probably, something along the line of infinite corporal and emotional orgasms, if you go really, really DEEP. So start the real game, just 20 minutes of meditation everyday and 1 hour of the course linked in my signature every week. Will be enough as a start

What would be life If I didn't have a brain ? What would life be If I didn't have any sensations ? What If I'm inside myself ? What is there beyond this body/mind ?

Just done a walking meditation of 1 hour, everytime I was perfectly still, the monkey mind striked instantly like a woman who didn't have an orgasm in a year. That was literally that hardcore.

FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Sevi You're a weird girl, I like that :3
