@Mighty Mouse No biggie if you’re not comfy sharing. I know it’s a vulnerable topic.

@Faceless What has your experience with psychedelics been like so far? Like, which ones, what amounts, how was your experience, etc?

@Mighty Mouse What was your enlightenment experience like? Did you use practices, psych’s, self inquiry, maybe all of those, none of those? Also, what was your experience of the absolute like? What did you learn about yourself? Thanks in advance for sharing. I am not asking for advice, I am am curious about your experiences.

@Amadeusz Trump’s built a financial empire through high intelligence, without the baggage of ethics or authenticity. He reallly highlights the difference between intelligence and consciousness, which is why he is the president today. The median relates to him, though he does not relate to the median.

You know from investigating the suffering! The only way to continue suffering, is to ignore this, which is to assume you already know this, but in truth, don’t. If you ignore it, persevere it, then you have learned nothing. If you sit with it, face it, you can begin to see the source is you, and your perspective, and the choices you have been making. Through facing one’s of fear, we liberate ourselves.

Skepticism means I am not right. @Thanatos13

@Viking cosmic nihilism doesn’t tell us anything, it’s made up. An outward projection of not having gone inward.

Seeking insight or answers outside of the self can be exhausted and enlightenment perceived as the delusion of ‘others’, seeking the true self within, ‘others’ are revealed to be self, and enlightenment realized. The extent to which we deceive ourselves in this matter is commonly underestimated and merely an obstacle of ego.

@Faceless Have you seen that all is thought induced projection? It helps in terms of distinction, escape, from the materialist paradigm.

@Heart of Space There it is!!! ????

@lens +?

@Him If you’re asking, then that definitly wasn’t it. If you experience your own death, you know it.

@Thanatos13 You tripped with no foundation, no practices behind it. You tried to experience the absolute with baggage. Doesn’t work that way. You tripped in 1st grade when you should have went to school and tripped in 12th grade, so to speak. Get over it man. You’re not winning any prize self loathing. Just procrastinating. Good luck. It’s worth any sweat, blood and tears. Good luck

@StephenK Yeah, me to?, through meditation. It’s delightful. I thought “this is IT!”. Lol. Later through meditation, I experienced the ‘oneness’ I though OMG “THIS IS IT!”...then experiences later revealed to me that in hindsight, I was really just finding the dance floor. Later...still practicing.....then...we’ll...I experienced a completely different IT, and IT is IT, no questions left on the absolute, the real me, real you. The void is not thins @Thanatos13 . The void is some drunk chick walking down the road pointing out the dance hall to you. She don’t know nothin, but who cares, you’re here right? @Thanatos13 If someone asks you what IT is, what the end all no fuckin doubt about it grand mother F’n finale’ is....and you’re not laughing your ass off...then you don’t get the joke yet, and you have SO much more to experience. Don’t listen to highly intelligent people who make amazing cases for the void as the absolute. It’s not. They don’t know. Just straight up ask them what they’ve experienced. They’ll either keep intellectualizing, or all of a sudden have something they need to go do. Maya is at it’s best in OZ, do not be fooled. This is because they are in the exact same tough place you’re in right now, minus the balls to be open and talk about it. Good for you man. Now lighten up!

@Thanatos13 You haven’t seen shit yet. That’s why you’re afraid. I know the void well. Don’t tell me about the void.? You did psychedelics, tasted the barrier / void. That’s huge, but you stopping working on yourself, because you think you saw the whole show. You did not. You’re not going to see beyond that void without doing the innerwork like the rest of us. Smart does not count for shit on this map. Let that go. Right does not count for shit either, it’s the very thing that prevents you. If you weren’t intellectualizing the hell out of things, I think you’d realize that the path has always been within. The work to be done, is clearing the path WITHIN. That thing you fuckin hate in your life. - pull your head outta your ass, put the rage against the machine on, and get it going. GET GOING. In other posts this would sound boastful, but I’ve been to the void many times in just the last year. I have been ‘beyond’ it. I know the territory you’re having trouble with. I’m trying to give a map. Take note, I am asking for nothing in return. No church to join, no charity to donate to, and I obviously don’t give a shit wether you think I’m “right” or not. LOL! Think about that. What possible motive could I have??? Love is nothing to fear. Not if you’re going to get this done. You got out of Kansas, but you never made it to Oz, let alone, to see the wizard. There is SO much more. You can’t go to Oz with bags of shit. You do the work, the practices every day. You don’t slouch, you learn, every day. If you need to cry, then cry. If you need a punching bag go get one. But, get going dude. Our clocks are ticking.

@Preetom Yeah. Thank God for that man.

@Alien we all are. Lol ?

@Preetom whoaahhh! Slow down. That’s awesome, but self inquiry is king. It’s will change your reality in the most literal sense. I mean literally, could you imagine REALITY, that consistent physical reliable everything - no longer being that? Becoming MAGIC!? COuld you even imagine that! That is the call of self inquiry and nothing else will do that. I’ll get off the soap box now, just had to say that. LOL. Sorry.

@Thanatos13 You undermined yourself, shot yourself in the foot, long ago, and now you are feeling the effects of it. You fell for some philosophy about this “nothingness” this “void”. All you have to do, is admit to yourself, that you have not actually ever experienced this “nothingness” this “void”. You constructed an idea of it in your head, and you are believing that idea. It’s just an idea, it holds no value, no weight, and it is FLAT OUT WRONG. What’s you have missed, because you have not experienced the “void” for yourself, is that it is not a void of nothingness. It is SO much more than that. Can you admit this error to yourself though? That’s the only question. When you do, you’ll be free of it. Then, day by day, things will get better. Be wrong. It’s deliciously liberating. Choose yourself, choose you happiness... who cares about being right? Thinking you’re right that it’s all this meaningless void of nothingness - that’s just some bullshit you got from some shithead, it’s unequivocally wrong. When a master refers to God as Nothing, it is because they have experienced God, and they know what you do not. Don’t mistake their meaning for “Nothing” to be your meaning for “Nothing”. Before you type and spout off about how right you are about your nihilism, just pause for like literally one minute first. A MINUTE, that’s all I’m asking. I know you got a minute bro. This path you’re on blows dude. It fucking blows. It’s taken you straight into the depression. I know this because I did the same exact thing. You’re doing it, and it feels terrible because you think it’s the fault of the reality you are in. It’s not. It’s your fault. Stop bullshitting yourself. Begin to free your mind instead. There is a man on youtube named Les Brown. Just sit and listen to him. You can do this. You can do anything you want. You just need a little help in seeing this is already the case. Want for yourself man. You deserve to be happy, you deserve joy in your heart, you are worthy of everything. Whole Universe got your back, all you have to do is take one step.

@Alien Anything you’ll ever want or do, is because you think it will make you feel better, be happier. Don’t fall for the thinking! You can feel better and be happier right now, and then enjoy the shit out of everything you do. Might need to slow down any thinking which suggests otherwise. Meditation will do that in spades.

@Preetom Kinda seems simple now, right? Like, extraordinary?

@kieranperez Ask and It is Given, Ester Hicks. How to Think and Grow rich, Napoleon Hill. And don’t judge a book, until you’ve read it for yourself. You got this. Withdrawal is the worst. The worst. It’s all better and better after the withdrawal.

@Sopot Universe is giving you everything and you’re not accepting, really, any of it. It’s laying out a potential for you to go to college, become a teacher, and change the level of education of your city, and your country...and you’re like, meh. Universe is showing you how easily distracted you are by other students, and eluding to the power of developing your focus through practices, to be able to reach and help those students as a teacher, to inspire them to the call for their own development, their own reasons and life purposes for doing the practices - that they can wake up and really be alive and love the pursuit of their dream....and you’re all like....meh...maybe. Universe is whispering these things to you. Listen. Don’t wait for it to yell. It will. You can count on it, because the universe is you, and you brought yourself here, and you got your back. You’ll do anything to wake you up and get you going on what your purpose is. No need to yell at yourself dude. The whisper is enough, just let it be.

@Thanatos13 What if you argued for your happiness?

@Alien It’s the ‘make a living from it’ thoughts. You’re makin one 15 minute meditation as big as your life purpose. Can’t do that man, it’ll snap ya right outta the now. Gotta snap back in! That’s the baggage, or resistant thinking. Let that go completely. See that meditation is paradoxical, in that, when you drop the attachment of making money from meditation, spirituality, waking folks up in general - then - I’m be damned, that, is exactly where meditation will take you. Meditate just for the awesomeness of clearing your head, do it simply for the now of it, just to be present. The answer, is in a big way, always to let go of what we want. Later on, yet soon enough, it strolls into our lives. Universe is funny. Feels good to let go of that mental baggage, right? Hell ya it does.
