@abrakamowse Has anyone asked him what psychedelics he’s done? How it was?

@Emre The thinking (questions & answers / duality) is what you are doing, along with beating your heart, multiplying your cells, being the electromagnetic field, keeping every orbit of every planet and atom, and maintaining gravity and spacetime, all without a hiccup. Not a glitch. When you are what you are, without illusion, there is no question being asked. None of those things being maintained. And it’s very funny. There’s nothing serious going on here. Transcend by doing everything you can to transcend.

@Emre Discover what you are not, and what you are. “Controlled accident” is a product of monkey mind. Daily meditation is effective. The key is doing it everyday. Or don’t.

@Yonkon There’s no dogma, no ask for money or time. The mantra (imo) is... don’t believe what anyone says, find out for yourself. Welcome to the forum. ?

@egoless I don’t want be able to be around you or read a word you write without feeling the incontestable unrelenting resolve of your constitution in Truth. I want to feel the pain in your eyes over every word you speak, knowing it diminishes the grace of this moment, to unite us yet again in joy. I want to read the language written in your scars, your dents, your failures, your humility. I want to see that you have nothing. It shows me that you stopped fucking around a long, long time ago. Your words will not move anyone otherwise.

Love, silly.

@TruthSeeker47 Look through your posts on this thread and see what is thought or belief or assumption, and what is true in your own experience.

@TruthSeeker47 Is the awareness witnessing the body and brain waking up, or do the body and brain wake up, and produce awareness?

@TruthSeeker47 Tell me, what was it like when you were born, when you experienced becoming aware?

@Tearos So basically, you have time to go to school and start a business. You also have time to do music. All of these are personal development. You also have time to do more personal development. It may be hard to believe, but you can do everything you want to do. I went to college full time, worked full time, worked two part time jobs, play gigs in bands, started a business, and did personal development, for years. Then I started 2 more businesses and quit the jobs. That time is relative, is not a joke. It takes vision. If you think you can, and see that you can, and believe in yourself, no one will stop you. No one would have the audacity.

@TruthSeeker47 Keep goin. You are stating your awareness is what makes you alive? Notice your heart is beating without your awareness. You’re breathing without your awareness. Your cells are dying and dividing without your awareness. Even as you read this your brain is reorganizing to accommodate and assimilate the information, without your awareness. Yet, you state your awareness is what makes you alive? Were you born?

@TruthSeeker47 Are you aware you are alive? Or is it a thought, based on the thought you’ll die?

@TruthSeeker47 Are you aware you were dead, or will die, or is that a thought you are aware of?

@TruthSeeker47 Are you the thought “I am alive”, or are you aware of the though “I am alive”?

@TruthSeeker47 Then how do you know you were dead? How do you know you didn’t perceive? You probably have no memory being an octopus, but you don’t figure you were an octopus. And what corilations are you making between perceiving and being alive?

@Spacious ??

@Torkys Wonderful & Godspeed! Thanks for sharing that. @Joseph Maynor Full circle. Beautiful to have witnessed. Thank you.

@TruthSeeker47 When you were dead, could you perceive things? What was your experience of not perceiving things like?

@ConsolePeasant Hiding Thought is a perception filter one uses to perceive two, creating the illusion of duality (if believed to be reality); self / other, happy / sad - things which seem to exist because they are not their opposite. But what is relative is not absolute, it’s illusionary - happiness “is” is contingent on sadness “isn’t” - they are thoughts and emotions. The belief in the illusion as real conceals the truth. This is ego. A rollercoster of emotional bs. Seeking Without thinking (filtering), one is aware of the illusion, and therefore is aware one is not the illusion (neti neti), and is liberated from illusionary doubt and fear. A state of Oneness, or Wholeness of the awareness. Some stop here, because, well, it’s pretty nice. No more highs and lows, no ‘tide’ of life dictating / triggering emotions. It’s a warm & cozy state. Relief. Peace. Some go on though. Found Being, is Self awareness of what one is. Because thinking and awareness take place within Being, thinking and awareness can not encompass, and therefore can not communicate, Being. (The Cosmic Joke) As I type, and you read, to you, I am illusion, and you are thinking. A total Being communication breakdown! lol. Being is absolute, blissful, the default state, the actual reality, extraordinary. Being is not an experience of Oneness, nor an experience of the realization of illusion, nor the experience of wholeness - it is the realization of what you are, for realz. Being is transcendent, or encompassing of, awareness, and thinking. Being, there is no illusion, only Self, eternal & infinite. You have hidden in forgetting that you hid. It’s brilliant. The illusion is more than the thinking can grasp. Doubly brilliant. The Being encompasses the awareness. Trips to the brilliance. Enjoy it.

I’m up for digging....why do you think you’re “alive”?

@Thanatos13 Yeah. Every word is a lie.

DId practices for 20 years, health / fitness for 12, 95% vegetarian for 2, then took about 20 trips (shroom tea) in a 3 year span, last one was almost a year ago. I started at .5g with close, great friends, we laughed our heads off and it loosened reality up. Deeper trips were alone; plentiful insights 3-4 gs, nonduality 4-5gs, Being 5g+. Check your foundation first, use long term thinking, be safe, think ahead, don’t go for a walk or drive, prepare yourself not to call the police / paramedics because you’re tripping balls & freakin out, because in hindsight, you will very much wish you had simply surrendered and allowed. The best (ime) revelations come through tripping in the deep silence of nature (outdoors), with the ideal pinnacle of the trip in total darkness (midnight or so). ❤️ ?
