Yes and no, depends on how you use it. But it really can be, dedicate (part of) your life to it and see the magic unfold right before, or behind your eyes, take psychedelics/weed to nitro boost your path every once in a while.

The suppression that was laid onto you by this negative depressed culture caused you depression; probably mostly from your parents, and later at school. Meditate, and very important, go through the suppressed feelings by finding them and feeling them completely, I like this guided meditation a lot https://vimeo.com/187391631/

Yeah, there might not be a border anymore between belief and knowing/direct experience then. Perhaps that's where the wisdom lies here though; why belief things in the first place? Perhaps creating the belief is the ego holding on to it's identity, whereas surrendering to just truth is letting it go and being free. 'Do we need beliefs to function?', indeed do we? I didn't watch the complete video, but one thing that struck me was that beliefs can really really hold us back when experiencing reality (saw this very clearly on weed once) and it reminds me of the quote in Conversations with God. God: "You cannot know God until you’ve stopped telling yourself that you already know God. You cannot hear God until you stop thinking that you’ve already heard God. I cannot tell you My Truth until you stop telling Me yours."

All my life, I have never had attained one moment of lasting happiness. All these things I've done in my life all led to nothing : p Of course this is obvious when look at what our 'world' is, a hallucination created by your brain arising in your consciousness. And so anything created by the first hallucination is just not real. Be glad to be on spiritual path, because it's the only thing that actually bears lasting fruit, becoming who you really are, as a joyful happy peaceful ex-static kid and or boundless blissful consciousness is the only thing that's actually real, and it's lasting, forever. Wow!

No I'm not there yet.

Yes, it's a grand manifestation but there is no joy in the world because there is no real world, as it appears in you, and thus you give it all meaning.

Being a failure in society's eyes is a beautiful opportunity to learn self love

I like ex-static better

I have the Bashar forum, not super popular but you are very welcome (it's about this guy https://vimeo.com/187391631 (no, not the kid)).

Done by people. But not unconditionally.

This book is better and free, Conversations with God by Neale Walsch (was on the new york best seller list for a 140 weeks or so) www.universe-people.com/english/svetelna_knihovna/htm/en/en_kniha_conversations_with_god_1.htm

Ye, a bit of a superior vibe and he still believes in a reductionist model of the world as dogma

If he's helpful for you then great. Personally I don't find him worthwhile to listen to, given he actually blatantly copies a lot very specific concepts from Bashar without giving credit and you can see he's still has it's own doubts (though not that that invalidates a teacher, but it's worth noting). The part of his source of inspiration, Bashar, I can very much recommend, best guided meditation ever I've listened to for example, helped me ball my eyes out multiple times

Boredom comes from resistance which comes from unresolved negativity or trauma, just go meditate or get over the fear of what you want to do. Don't play the victim, it helps you 0.

@Azreal What do you think of the potential for MeO to be used to help you embody states of enlightenment, do you experience your meditations differently already?

I would recommend focusing on meeting and befriending like minded people who are interested in spirituality, God, consciousness. See then if you still feel like hanging out with your old friends.

Putting yourself in the victim mode creates more havoc than any release of old emotions can bring, it can be done with ease in my experience

I would say, aside from of course the more obvious direct cause and effect things, like smoking giving you cancer (which a surprising amount of people even will act the victim of). Also things like the butterfly effect, how your small act of kindness can change the whole world: 'You give JK Rowling a smile after her 19th rejection of her book when you walk past her, she musters the courage to try it 1 more time, and creates a lovely viral book series' So in that sense we are very connected, and we all create the atmosphere from which actions and motivations arise.

I have not, it's an active part of my life. I said it specifically to argue that self-inquiry is actually very much like meditation if not the same thing. After all, they also bring the same results and for both you need to look away from the world.

'It's just a chemical, it's just a drug' At an early point in your awakening you will see nothing happens by coincidence, as God is playing in all of us, nothing every happens by accident. And so certainly it is no coincidence nature produces these chemicals/neurotransmitters like DMT or 5-MeO, in so that we can take them externally if we want(and yes, you can experience it (eventually) without these molecules externally as they are produced in our bodies naturally as well). And you are high on normal neurotransmitters right now, and if it improves their life, especially then why would it be invalid? Also thanks for posting OP, I asked God for guidance last night and the first dream I had out of deep sleep was a dream of the toad, OM-ing with him or something.

The act of looking within it self is an act of meditation imo. But in my experience, self-inquiry alone, as in something you ask yourself a few times and look is just not going to cut it, maybe for beings almost naturally enlightened anyways. You can say it worked for Ramana Maharshi but he spend a few decades(?) sitting in stillness/silence while others would sometimes help him put food in his mouth. Also Ramana himself, who popularized this method, often recommended 1-2 hours a day of meditation and being focused on the self during the rest of the day.

'Once the purification complete itself, you will end up being all clean and happy (10-15 years from now). This purification comes in waves so expect several stages of neurotic behavior.' Only if you chose to go along with the ideas arising, you always have free will.

No, it's a disproved assumption. Quantum mechanics shows matter is not separate from consciousness, there is no evidence that the brain creates consciousness and there is a butload of evidence it merely receives it http://evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com/

Yes, I love it, my dreams are becoming increasingly more vivid and conscious as well, I know some dreams can be a sort of middle ground between realms of pure consciousness/spirit (aka the afterlife or thought realms), and our lives , based on one confirming experience I had. Very exciting stuff, especially because of some interactions I've had with my deceased father.

Consciousness is contrary to popular belief not an elaborate hoax created randomly by dead matter, quantum mechanics has long proven this. And further more, there is no evidence that indicates the brain creates consciousness, or free will, that also isn't evidence for it being a receiver. And there is a ton of evidence for the brain being a receiver: PSI research, (verifiable) near death experiences, (verifiable) reincarnation testimonies, precognitive dreams, shared dreams, shared psychic experiences and most easily testable shared psychedelic experiences, either in hyperspace or while conscious here. Though a regular DMT or 5MeO breakthrough should make you open minded enough to be able to objectively look at the evidence from there. Also practicing spirituality seriously will reveal life's wonders directly to you as well, constant synchronicity will eventually be the norm of the day.
