Nothing can withstand an hour of meditation every morning. Your deconstruction work, collapsing dualities, taking a look within, dream boarding life, etc, is well under way. I’d make it a point to say, believe, and know, that I am awesome, that everything good in me is God, self loving and worthy of giving & receiving love. I’d watch Leo’s video on not giving a fuck what people think, and I’d have some kind of burial / burning ceremony. Maybe write down all concerns about what people think of you, wish them well, vow to do your absolute best never to judge yourself or anyone else, burn it, and bury it. (Literally) Checkpoints of meditation would be actual awareness, and no mind. I’d be checking for refining technique along the way. Carry it into the day, longer and longer. Develop the ability to entirely drop the mind / thinking anytime, into no mind state. Conscious stomach breathing 24/7. I’d take a 1g dose of shrooms and contemplate this isness, that is right here right now, but effortlessly, not pushy-thinking / ‘figuring out’. Allow / receive the realizations. Ask God to wash over you with divine love and understanding, out loud, sternly but not demandingly. Set the intention with every cell in your body. Feel the realness of the desire for realization, not Just the thought about it. Be open for anything, calm, collected, upbeat, humble & interested. I’d listen to a lot of Abraham Hicks, every morning, right after meditation, any video of hers, everyday, and anytime you’re driving / waiting. Order a micro bluetooth ear bud. Imo, her videos are the cleanest, purest psychology you will find. I would then add, but only if you’re naturally genuinely interested, some quantum mechanics videos on YouTube. I’d start by searching relativity vs special relativity, then the double slit, entanglement, black holes & superposition. As you watch them, always, constantly pause it and look in front of you and contemplate - this video is talking about this isness right here right now. Then I’d take a 2 g dose of mushrooms and contemplate what is in front of me, what is this isness? Then I’d watch every video by John Hagelin / most are him speaking at SAND. Then I’d take another 2g trip. Then I’d watch Leo’s videos, absolute infinity, the point of life, stages of life, then self deception (sorry), fear, duality, reality, truth. Then I’d take another 2g trip, (not having skipped any days of meditation for a few months now) and then watch ego backlash, oneness, and the ten ox pics. Then I’d go see some presenters like Ester Hicks, Eckart, and Rupert in person, and I’d ask questions, and ‘get in the hot seat’. Then I’d take 4g’s, and again two month’s later. Then I’d watch and contemplate, based on filling in gaps, based on questions I still have about self & reality. Then I’d take a 5g trip, only when comfortable with the idea of doing so. I’d take all the trips alone, in nature. But not in any overly minimalist survival (tent & campfire) setting. And not where I live (too familiar). Small shroom dose is 1g. Larger is 2g. Never, ever ever ever take 3g’s. A high dose is 4g’s (You’ll lose identity). A hero’s dose is 5gs (you’ll lose reality). Trips should be at least two months apart. (You won’t actually lose anything). All of this is obviously biased, but that’s what I’d do.

@Swagala Linguistically there is “people being awake / asleep, conscious / unconscious” but you have to read between the lines that it is consciousness. If the path is shining in terms of being / experience, but not so much creating your dream life, give that your attention. Things which might seem in the way dissolve upon inspection.

@Schahin That was pretty much the whole story. Then I just went and did what I wanted to do.

I saw a movie the other day where a guy did the same. Cured himself of depression. It was awesome. Then I turned of the tv.

Take a few meditation coaching sessions. Don’t mess around with it anymore on your own.

Normal, beautiful, and a good sign. Tune into it, rather than tuning it out.

Nihilism is not awakening. Jim Newman is not describing nihilism, that is your misinterpretation, by deflection & projection. He thought his method out pretty well. Same thing you just did to @zeroISinfinity.

How much knowledge, identity, attachment, possessions, relationships, desires, plans, etc, would you have had to let go of when you were eight years old?

Truth can not be found, all there is is truth.

@robinmk4l The difference between a belief, and what is known - is truth. What ails you is this... That is a belief. The truth is, you’re fucking awesome. For as long as you believe that, and claim you know it, you suffer. It is a fact that you are fucking awesome. So true indeed, you can believe you are awesome, and or know that you are awesome, and because it’s the truth, either way works just fine.

Freudian slip?

@Seeker_87 Each person is undoing themselves as relative, ultimately arriving at the same absolute, and then in a way relearning the relative. So every path is personal and unique. For example, in a general sense, consider the difference between the path of a 20 year old, compared to a 60 year old. A 20 year old may need to live desire to more deeply know it, and a 60 year might connect the meta dots more readily. Essentially I’m saying, first consider the person, then consider the paths.

I hope I didn’t offend you. I apologize if I did. I was just giving my two cents on the passage. I did not intend that it applied to your beliefs at all. If you think I’m wrong, or off, no problem. It is just an interpretation. It can mean to you really whatever you want.

@Focus Shift You’re the authority. It’s how you see it, rather than objective.

Since “it” can’t be thought, daily meditation to no-mind is helpful. A good practice for you might be letting every thought go, not speaking on or acting on it. It’ll give you two dynamics to contrast. Between those two, most of the cup will be emptied. It might also be productive to talk through the fears & struggles of those. And lighten up, see the humor in stuff like this...“Are you totally sure there is only me and no other?” I know it’s not funny now, but that could be revealing.

@Thewritersunion How do you feel about meditating every morning?

For sure. I heard Ramana said the same thing about the cancer. I don’t know if it’s true or not, that’s just something I heard.

@Serotoninluv ?? @Harikrishnan “....kill the Buddha”

@Harikrishnan I hear ya. My hope was to simplify it. ??

I don’t know if you’ll see what I’m trying to point out, because the nature of it isn’t “dualable” or “wordable”. Also, relatively speaking, there are teachers who experience infinity directly, and know it can’t be explained or thought. Can’t be conceptualized. So to try to ‘reach’ the seeker, they use analogies like infinity many worlds. It’s as helpful as it gets, but when ‘you’ ‘experience’ ‘infinity’, it’s very clear that they are doing this, and why. Sean Carroll is about as great of a living example of this as you’ll find imo. He seems to have made that all important leap from science to actuality. I believe years ago Sean’s sentiment would’ve been, “if you think you’ve understood quantum mechanics, you haven’t”....today, I believe his sentiment might be more like “oh ya, you can understand quantum mechanics’. I’m speculating on all of this, but, he might be inclined to nonetheless limit what he is now aware of, in what he’s saying. (Hope this is taken as a helpful attempt, rather than taking a ‘jab’ at you or anything) ??

Create three more, but with how you feel as the absolute basis, rather than what you think about ‘free will’ in terms of something ‘in the world’ / ‘something about people’. Essentially, look at it relative to you. It will start to make a new, different kind, of sense.

@aclokay Yes indeed. Your post brings the ‘path of least resistance’ philosophy to mind. Maybe a permission slip isn’t needed at all, because it’s just a permission slip, and maybe it’s just easier to write whatever permission slips you want to write. It is ‘of the Truth’ though, very much so. This can lead nicely into the realization the finite mind is not actual, but self imposed imitation as well. But don’t go losing your mind over it.

Those questions are too broad, could you be more specific? Thanks
