Just a thought, might be helpful, but if there where a computer, with artificial intelligence, it might still struggle to understand what electricity is - not where it comes from, or how it can be measured & used - but what it is.

@bananak thanks! I can relate man. My original stuff is very acoustic singer song writer ish, and I do a lot of covers in different keys and often change the feel; major to minor’s, etc.

@bananak just chiming in...for what it’s worth to you... I’ve played guitar and sang for 2o years or so. I was once experiencing what you described, those precious minutes of ‘zone’, of unstoppable grace. Now, I do this regularly, for hours on end (to a relative degree of reference to experiences) and it is blissful and I would not trade it for all the money in the world. I feel, you are just tapping into a beautiful, beautiful thing. A daily (morning) meditation habit will change your m’f’ing life as a musician. You know, The Doors named the band after The Door of Perception (Huxley, I think) Check it out. Scott Weiland, of STP, he got it, and of course, many others. He wrote many songs in the ‘zone’ (The zone = no self in the way, just God flowing) Do you even zone, bruh? lol Flies in the vasoline we are Sometimes it blows my mind Keep getting stuck here all the time It isn't you, isn't me Search for things that you can't see Going blind out of reach Somewhere in the vasoline You'll see the look And you'll see the lies You'll eat the lies And you will (if I’m not mistaken, the ‘vasoline’ Is the one “substance” that is the illusion, and I think he incorporates the materialistic powers at large too)

@St Clair omg dude. I’d like to read as much of this as possible! Keep it comin! I love this stuff. I had a similiar syncronicity a few months ago....went to buy mulch, guy at the counter asks if I play. He points out I’m wearing a 20 year old Hendrix t shirt. I’m like, yeah, you. Long story short, he tells me about an acoustic musicians hub A MILE FROM MY HOUSE?!?!?! I”VE LIVED HERE AND PLAYED ACOUSTIC SHOWS FOR 4 YEARS!?!?! How is this shit even possible?!?!?!? Been hanging there, met the best guitarist I’ve ever played with, played a few shows together. Amazing. Just amazing.

@St Clair omg dude. You just plucked me outta my house and put me right back to where it all began. Your writing is beautiful. What happened next??? ?❤️?

@dude to me, the dude abides, is the total consensus of loa.

@dude the dude abides.

@St Clair awesome. That’s a blast from the past. That was the first book that made me start questioning things. It’sbeen over 20 yrs since I read it. I can barely remember it now. Do you have any of it’s main insights top of mind? Share em? ❤️

@Natasha ?

@ADD laugh about it. Why would you be anxious about it? You’re not doing it, they are.

@Hafiz write them down. It’s much easier to sort visually. ??

@iTommy from what I understand, which is pretty limited, the math leans towards the many worlds theory, but the lab work seems to support the Copenhagen theory. I wonder, if all of the physicists involved focused all of their efforts on one theory, if it would become proven / true.

@Dantas i can’t stop staring at it. This me now. Found my life purpose.

@Principium Nexus Where I live, balloon sinuplasty is not available, so I’d like my own at-home-do-it-yourself-kit. For the fairer sex, I’d love a robot like counter top device, like Alexa, that replies in nondualities, with a handful of preloaded statements like, “of course you don’t look fat in that!”, and “of course he doesn’t know how to load the dishwashing machine”. If someone could get on that already, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

@hinawashi the ego hid the truth to allow the illusion.

@Max_V oh and good for you Max!❤️

@Max_V Best thing that ever happened to a vegan diet, imo...(i don’t like eating vegetables) mix with ice, banana, peanut butter & chocolate almond milk in a blender - yummy shake! “Basically, it has the nutrition of seven products in one container! Raw Organic Mealdelivers 20 grams of clean protein per scoop from 13 raw sprouted ingredients, along with greens, healthy fat, 5g fiber, probiotics, enzymes, plus 21 vitamins and minerals.” https://www.gardenoflife.com/content/product/why-choose-raw-organic-meal/ and of course whip cream cause...whip cream.

@Maheshwar I would move your focus out of the relationships category and into the self category. Affirmations should be about your confidence, synronicity, etc - “you” centered stuff, not relationships stuff. As you meditate and do the practices and increase your consciousness, the relationships will become second nature, because we are all really only perceiving our understanding of our selves.

@Omni Great report! ?I think I hear you on silence being not-real. (Lol) - as the hearer is illusionary too. To me, consciousness is a word I use when referring to The One, though I don’t see that The One IS consciousness. I suspect consciousness is still a degree of separation so to speak. Psychadelics are so _________!!!!!

@Ilya make tea, don’t just eat em. I suggest doing 1g, then 2g, then 3g, etc, every couple weeks or so. A month or two inbetween is better. HUGE HUGE HUGE difference with each g increase. I shroomed in the middle of the woods all night by myself once. I don’t really know how deep you’re looking to get, so I don’t know if I’d recommend it or not. Life changer. ??????????????...??????..?..????...?...?...?

@Emptystickfigure it seems that there is karma to me, but limited only to perception. As in, I have witnessed everything I’ve done, and I am making choices and distinction in the illusion based on my understanding of everything I’ve previously done & experienced. So it doesn’t seem that the karma “happens” to me, but rather is a way to describe the limits of my own perception being able to be traced back to my own actions.

@Glassgow22 awwwww! I get to be the first comment on your first post! Adorable! I’ve been meditating for around 22 years or so. My current experience is similar to what you describe - nothingness in terms of mental activity. Years ago, on an ordinary day, five minutes into my typical 30 mins med, I was consumed into everything. I suddenly was everything. I cried for many days. Some time later, on a trip, it was realized, and integrated over a long period. Not sure if that’s a ‘dmt’ like experience, as I haven’t had dmt yet. More recently, I’ve been using meditation with writing - in and out. It’s become a consistent process / resource. I also am able to get to the void in a few minutes, where as it used to take 30, then for a while it took 16 minutes or so. Congrats on the life change. That’s a beautiful thing. ❤️ And welcome to the rabbit hole!

@sleeperstakes so much suffering derives from the belief we are something other than the magnificent truth of what we really are. You’ll be able to ‘see through’ everything others can’t. You would live life without fear or doubt or monkey mind. It truly is dying and yet still living the rest of your life. IMO, it feels like waking up everyday and winning the lottery of love. Something I think is worth pointing out, that rarely gets mentioned and would be hard to believe...our default / or baseline does change drastically.

That is IT. Like, how is it possible I am “alive” and seeing all this...?! How is this even possible!?
