If you’re comfortable sharing, what psychedelic & what dose did you take prior to each of those experiences? Also, I appreciate the sharing, but I was asking what mania & psychosis is more so than what behaviors and actions are attributed to it.

The belief is the thought, the duality of alive & dead, that you come & go. Find a separation in knowing. Between knowing & experience, and knowing & belief. If a separation can’t be found, then a distinction can’t be made, and there is not a duality of knowing & not knowing. And also then, there is. But only because there isn’t. Since there is.

@allislove Infinite yes to all that. Beautiful man.

Think feeling. Feel thinking. What do you experience?

‘Why’ is an apparent finite thought. There is direct knowing of the thought. The thought is about perception. There is direct knowing of perception. There is no perceiving a thought, and there is no thinking perception. There is direct knowing of thought & of perception. There is no separation between knowing, thought, and perception. The knowing is the mirage. Infinite can not know finite.

Meditate for an hour every morning. Keep returning attention to breathing from the stomach. Days add up to a disciplined mind. All suppressed emotions will empty. It will be realized there never was a problem, just the believing of thoughts that didn’t feel good. A simpler way to say that is there is presently little to no focus. It could be said to be trained, by letting thoughts go, by focusing on breathing from the stomach and relaxing. Down the road so to speak, that explanation will eat itself. ’The mind’ goes to such great lengths to avoid this, ultimately rooted in the fear of death, or nothingness. In hindsight, you’ll see humor in having been afraid, of nothing. Before letting go though, people typically weave more thought stories, continuing to believe thinking leads to feeling. Alas, it is clearly seen that feeling can not be thought.

@Dodo Sure. Joke’s on you then. ?

@Halm How come I can only see the one mirage in the desert, and not all the other mirages? The actual satisfying answer is because there aren’t any mirages. But no answer is satisfying, because the answers are mirage. Only love will do.

@Ponder Not sure what you mean. What outcome is being risked? How long do you think psychedelics stay in the body? What is your understanding of what mania & psychosis is, and is that understanding from your direct experience complete? Also, what is your understanding of what fear is, and what role it’s playing here?

@Aaron p Bowing to the dodge master. ??

@rav Yes indeed. ???

@Pugfishpanda Who would you be without the story of the past? What would you worry about, if there is no future? What would there be, to be afraid of?

@Heart of Space Death is only a belief. You’re identified with past & personhood & believing in death so deeply, that you’re missing feeling is love. You’re labeling it fear, and continuing to be ‘right’ about your belief. No offense. Love ya. Sorry to hear of your current state & hope you turn it around on both accounts soon. ? Also, you’re fucking infinity awesome, and I believe in you turning this water into wine. Much to let go perhaps.

What does? And then ....what?

What is a who? Have you contemplated the belief you’re a who, and sustaining that belief by assessing other who’s as enlightened or not...as in separate selves, etc? This might be keeping a charade going right under your nose, which you’re trying very hard to overcome or beat. What if there’s nothing to achieve or become, but a matter of uncovering beliefs? What if that 5meo never comes?

@How to be wise Question the validity of thoughts which imply this is not already the case. What’s wanted is Being, and Being is not in a room or any space. I think you’ll realize much freedom, and a renewed appreciation for sharing & togetherness. It’s not the people that are the “problem”, it’s just believing the thoughts which don’t feel good. Godspeed. Maybe go have a mystical experience & shake out some fears...? Ya might be overdue. It can also be helpful to get assistance in spotting beliefs we are so accustomed to we aren’t aware we’re holding them.

Lol. Yep. ???

@Buba A re-frame you might consider... your issue has nothing to do with the sexuality you’re talking about. It’s thinking about what other people are thinking. I’d read the six pillars of self esteem.

What do you mean by enlightenment? What do you mean by choice? What is it, literally? What does living it look like to you?

@Nak Khid What is choice?

@Itsokimok What is your direct experience of this ‘alive’?

Said no one. ✊??

Maybe I’m missing something or misunderstanding. Can you explain / reconcile those two statements?

@Aaron p Nice dodging.

@Loving Radiance Yep. Nailed it.
