@Vagos ya.

You are conscious you are God.... ”at the same time you can be yourself”? “And experience duality....” Reality is “in front of “you” “? ”Immerse in nonduality (not two) and duality (two).....”both worlds”...? If ”Everything is One”....then what is “the precious personal”? Who “makes love with that”? Who “immerses”, who is “your”, who is “self”, what is “that”? Who “attains”, what are “both worlds”, what is “full” awareness? If you are all that is, why the distinction between “becoming a sage”, and “girls and weed”?

Well, when you woke up in the morning, was there someone else there, someone who had crawled into your ear and participated in your dream..... Insulted you..... Infuriated you......and then left when you awoke? Is it really like that? No. What is it, really? Are there really “parts” of you? Are you really hating “him”? Notice the futility, the silliness, in pretending you are parts, or two, and that your thought of hate is “hating him”. Have a laugh about this. What does it really mean to you to “care too much”? Is that not a justification, a means, to continuing to fragment yourself? Really look at why that particular memory is reoccurring and being referenced now? What is it telling you? What ground work did you lay, what have you been saying to that friend, which led to them knowing you were likely to be sad upon seeing this? Perhaps you’ve been repeating this projection over and over to yourself and your friend? If you like his personality - then you could see that he is not making you anything. “He” “makes” you anxious & depressed? Or - your thoughts which surface when you see him are anxious & depressing? “It's like someone holds up a mirror close to your face and forces you to look in it.” “Forces”...? If you were “forced” to look in this mirror - what is it you would see?

@improvementedward For the meditation, focus on breathing from your stomach, just under your belly button - while sending the “let go signal” to every individual muscle until you feel it “let go”, from the crown of your head, then eye sockets, cheek bones, jaw, neck, etc, down to your toes - over and over and over. Do this while maintaining / returning focus on stomach breathing. Don’t try to stop thoughts, they’re just thoughts. For the mindfulness - everything, every single thing, changes. There is one exception, one thing which never ever changes, awareness. You, obviously, are the awareness, as you, are, aware. Not mindful is lost in the world / thoughts. Mindful is being, awareness of you - that which is aware of all changing things.

@CreamCat Ya. Sure seems like you’re moving though doesn’t it?

@Brant Love is Love, and you are too Brant! Keep letting go of the past in all ways it isn’t serving this moment! ??

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj Wishing you clarity and perseverance through this tough point in your life, and resonance with the love within you brother???

@Amun Seems so obvious now, I’m embarrassed. Thank you Amun??

How are babies made?

@Mezanti There are years of thought patterns (beliefs) at play. There is an identity which has been illusively forged by them. The path is deconstruction of those. Awareness of them is key. Write them down to become more aware of them.

@Mezanti The eyes thing is a reoccurring theme. I believe it’s the mental construct not yet able to surrender, so ‘it’ try’s to make sense of what can’t be made sense of. Essentially, it is the product of repeating patterns of thought, not jiving with the introduction of potentiality or, non-pattern non repetition. Consider using a pen and paper, you might be surprised at what comes when you inquire that way, and it seems like there are some unresolved emotions which can be released, by being expressed. In writing, emotions are released, and because you are writing, and seeing what you’re writing, cognition is involved, and upon release, there are satisfying understands. The on off on off you mentioned, is often referred to as “the waves” when tripping. “The waves” are like the static inbetween two radio stations, as you move from thinking to awareness, and awareness to being / nondual. Sounds like your ‘waves’ experienced were where thought patterns meet awareness, / uncertainty meets certainty, / repetition meets potentiality. Substances kind of “force” past this point. As it was not pleasant for you, the answer would be again, expressing the emotions, so that there is less unresolved activity within your body, and can be more surrender. Awareness of deep, relaxed, stomach breathing, all day, can really help with awareness of thought patterns.

There is not “my mind”, there is Mind. Try to find the edges, the separation - there’s isn’t. Mind ALWAYS has your best intention at heart. Stop fantasizing randomly, and start visioning. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how mind responds. Though there is no mind, nor causation, and of course, no response. But try it and see.

Yes, infinite, no end. Deep, bottomless. Personality is a construct made of groundless repetition which can be deconstructed, like all other “things” in the light of Awareness. It makes people uncomfortable to express you don’t actually have a personality. Categorically, it’s in there with karma, suicide, God, etc. In the sense, if someone is asking about them, there’s an expression / answer given on their behalf which is not the Truth known by the one answering. Sadhguru is illusory. Confident he’d willfully say the same. To attempt to put his, or anyone’s being into perspective, you need to first see that of course, you are the only one who can be enlightened. “Oneness”, is quite literal.

Just a little counter balance, nothing personal, imo 25g’s is an INSANE amount of shrooms to take. Took 8g once. 4-5 in hindsight in plenty. All depends on the barriers though really. Also, careful with how much shrooms you take after having experienced meo. Consider trying 2g’s first to feel it out.

Is it best to be comfortable...or to stop being comfortable? Sometimes self discipline is exactly what’s needed. Only one could know. If ‘humble’ is forgein, I’d consider meditating just as the Dalai Lama instructs.

@Tistepiste I’ve always thought the best inventions come from, “why doesn’t this exist already??? If you’re looking for a partner in this, I have some ideas I’ve been jotting down for a while.

@Wisebaxter ha! Right on. Perhaps monk is hidden just behind that key.

This shoe will never fit, because your experience is paramount. If you ‘place’ other people’s experience of you, as the primary focus, that which is You can not condone it, can not ‘go there’, because it is simply not True - it’s just overthinking against the Self. Your life is not an accident. You are you, this can not be confirmed or validated or justified, because You are. Your ‘imperfections’ are precisely what makes you perfect. It is an inexplicable miracle, being you. I can’t explain the first thing about it. It’s impossible. Yet, you are. How you think you are seen, is actually how you are seeing yourself. Loving What Is (Byron Katie) goes perfectly with The Six Pillars. Check it out. You can change actions, and change habits, etc, etc, but don’t hold desire to change who you are, that’s impossible. Instead, look to discover who you are - the impossibility of that will fulfill you in the most impossible ways.

If there is One thing we can come to know, it is that there is no problem with the fundamental nature of reality. A single thought against the Self veils. Chronic patterns of thoughts against the Self can be convincing. But these are just thoughts, which only appear to have power, when you believe them. “I don’t know”, may serve you well.

In an online space of ads every 3 minutes, the rarity of Act.’s integrity is becoming more and more apparent. Very long term thinking.

@Tistepiste Brilliant. I love the intention of guiding one through expressing. A timeline - graph generator showing the history of the purification would be sweet, and encouraging for many. So many new meditators get discouraged, as if the “meditation” was causing the unwanted emotions. Knowing there’s an emotional ‘process’, a purging, would give reassurance & clarity. Very nice T!

@Amun And out of nowhere, an honest one. ??
