@kieranperez The middle part, the bliss of no ego, no overthinking, with regards to your recent trip report - There, all ‘things’ become known, and There all things are possible. Through meditation, and inspection of what disappeared and how - going into that “middle part”- as well as the inspection of how “it” reappears, coming out of that middle part. Psychedelics are helpful, absolutely, but also, nothing is hidden from you. You are asking about practicality, putting it into words. Consider it can not be put into words, rather, the path to it is present in your words themselves. Something I find very helpful, is taking the time to go back and read one’s own post - and look for where it was covered, evaded, suppressed, avoided. Many posts are of the ‘right’ question, few posters allow themselves to receive the answer. Usually the post of a question becomes the unseen attraction of like mindedness. And do not make the grave mistake of misinterpreting any “bad” emotions as of the circumstances, nor of what others say. Use the circumstances, use what others say - which bothers you - use THAT. Do not trust the thoughts, trust the emotions. They have eternally guided you. Listen.

@Matt8800 ?? Love the clarity in your words, appreciating the intention behind them.

It’s not a perspective, though it is all perspectives. I can not describe ‘it’ either. The tongue can not taste itself. The finger can not point to itself. The finite mind limits, though disappears in alignment, rather, unification. You could say you are ‘coming home’ - Remembering. I can not find the distinction between Love, Truth and Beauty, nor between Joy & Laughter. ‘It’ is ‘here’ too, present, is all I can tell you. I want to tell everyone, but it is unbelievable. I want to give it to everyone, but they are already ‘it’. I want to share ‘it’, so I am reality. I will always however, be a Universe. That’s ok though, cause I can create delusion too.

Happy for you on your breakthrough! Good work.

@Matt8800 100% agree. I think there is a ‘missing link’ which you didn’t mention there, and it is the one which appears to be causing the issue of one not getting from meditation, to the place of knowing the inner guru. I say appears to because this ‘link’ is initially misunderstood.

@Matt8800 You’re reading me like a book. Gonna push it even a little itsy bit farther....what if, in meditation, thoughts arise, suggesting other practices, other people, psychedelics, yoga’s, psychologists, maybe traveling to high energy vortexes, etc, etc, arise? Would the course still be to ‘stay true’ to the meditation?

@Matt8800 Thanks. In your estimate, does meditation “work”? To the degree that if one says it does not work, it is actually working, they’re just not aware that it is working...and so they quit.. ? Whereas, had they not quit, and embraced what arises (emotions), they would experience the very breakthrough they have mistakenly moved onto another way of seeking.

@Matt8800 Really great post. In your estimate, is it important to first quiet the mind before diving into this?

Not in righteous anger or in judgement, but, in love . Without love, we are nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous, it does not boast, it is not proud. It keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices with the truth. It bares all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. When everything else disappears - faith, hope & love remain. But the greatest of these, is love.

@Serotoninluv What if he had just been honest?

From your direct experience, yes?

Agreed.

@kieranperez Are you talking about running, or enlightenment?

@kieranperez Such little faith. A mustard seed is all you need.

@zeroISinfinity No. Everything I have ever swallowed has been the Truth, and it is delicious.

@kieranperez Are you claiming to know beyond your seeing & hearing?

The punchline is that it already is.

@Bobby ?? The Self. The Enlightened One. Infinity. Toaster. Once you know who you are it really doesn’t matter anymore what anyone calls you. ?

The realization is there are not humans. (Real-I-)

@Mikael89 You’re arguing.

@Dodo Well, if you’re asking, it’s conceptual. That’s a thought, which just materialized. Trade creating thoughts, for creating the life you want. There are hundreds of millions of virgins. Just do the work, you’ll see them. You might not even think so small of females, with ample self exploration. You might find that bliss, is better than sex. The pleasures of sex are made of this. A reduction, a limitation for creation, of what you could be feeling all day everyday. Radical honesty is the Way. Let it all out, on paper. Good luck. Make sure you’re taking full advantage of all resources available to you in terms of well being.

@Dodo You. God. The one wearing the goggles.

@lostmedstudent Great story and glad you’re ok! Imagine if you had died. But then everything was the same. It’d be impossible.

@Simon Håkansson Your key is self honesty. An unwillingness of genuine emotional expression is feeding the overthinking. Start writing about your feelings on paper. Draw pictures, write a story, etc. Also psychedelics can reveal truths bigger than where you’re at in general, adding zest to your path, and reducing some monkey mind by connecting you more with emotions, and answering some of what fuels the thinking at the conceptual level.
