Nahm

@egoless You're going to logically prove to yourself that the absolute truth is inaccessible to you? You can actually experience one with all, and then alone and all is illusion. Love. Those experiences are so transcendental to logical thought, that you would have your answer to this question, because you would have transcended the asker of the question. Escape the matrix. Love it!!!! ?

@Max_V I love Rupert. Thanks for sharing! It is exhilarating to discover love in all things.

@Speedscarlet I say yes, that is possible. How long it takes is a big question. I find that the deepest answers in contemplation reveal the falsity of the question, but still, in the sense I think your asking about, the answer arises.

@AleksM Your post completely resonates with my experience. I stopped sugar, almost all preservatives, fluoride toothpaste, tap water, aluminum deodorant,etc, a while back and started consuming pineal cleaning substances. I will just say that I find the information in your post to be accurate. The difference is experiential. No one could have told me, I never would have believed them if they did. It took some number of months. My guess is 6. I can't say if it's DMT, but it is something. A way to at least suggest the difference would be that previously it seemed like the decalcified pineal gland was a physical thing that might release a physical substance, now it seems like the pineal gland is a physical representation or manifestation or even a deep permission slip - a physical representation of a spiritual flowing. (Like all things)

@MiracleMan I had the exact same situation. Have you tried daily back exercises and adjusting diet? (Sugar enflames muscles, carbonated beverages weaken muscles) We're all different of course, but after years of pain mine is 100% gone from those two things. Pursuing the mind can of course help too, but a physical plan might be easier and the path of least resistance. I was told to do these exercises years prior, but I wrote it off as too simple of a solution. Then one day I got a massage and the therapist explained to me that I was working out all of my body except my lower back, and that was why it was weak / hurting. That time it clicked, I started doing this every morning, and the pain was completely gone within around 2 weeks. Hope this helps! It sucks man, I know. Also, maintaining correct posture is key. The specific exercise that worked for me was on my hands and knees and lifting each leg up in the air for a few seconds each.

Choices are of-the-illusion. Even from a logic stand point, infinite includes everything so there's no situation to even prompt a choice and nothing to choose between, and no other entity to offer a choice. The real question is how quite our mind is Now / how much we are our perspective of Being of infinite, and how much we are caught up in the illusion. Don't get me wrong, it's a win for love either way. I like scary movies too. The scarier the better. "The Others" really got me good for a few days. Anybody seen that one? VHS got in me pretty deep too. That Vampire chick!? No Thank you!!

@Joseph Maynor I'm not really sure what you mean. ❤️

@starsofclay the whole thing is such a trip man. ??

@starsofclay

We are all the dream of the entity. I am not seperate. I am the dream of the entity, so is Dodo. Nahm does not exist is reality, reality IS the entity's dream. Same for Dodo. We use words to communicate, so I am using the word dream. Nahm is a dream. Dodo is a dream. You are a dream. The illusion you're seeing and hearing is not reality. There is no objective reality 'between' us. It is all happening within, and nothing is actually happening. You can reference Gurus, science, and your own personal experience to see that this is the case. You could discover this right now for yourself. The challenge, is letting go of the belief tree that you as a person are real and are in reality. You can recall your most recent dream. Were there other people in it? Were there really other people in it? Was your brain in your dream? Was it the brain you dreamt with? Was it some seperate brain you created within your dream and believed to be a person? Was it the entity dreaming a dream of you dreaming a dream of someone else? It's infinite. There is no someone else. There is an entity. That is reality. My experiencing the entity has lead me to use the word love in my most honest effort to describe it. In the most literal sense, it is impossible for me to describe what I am to you, because the most accurate description would be to say that I am you and you are me. Meanings and experience rule. This reminds me of the quote "no one can be told what the matrix is, you have to experience it for yourself." The entity can not be experienced by anything or anyone because everything and everyone is the entity. You can however, experience the dream AS the entity - which you are already - but with some measure of beliefs and personal identity. IMO, someone could live a perfectly fine life never experiencing this. Some people eat McDonald's. Lots of people actually. Most people now that I think about it. Furthermore, everything is made of nothing, and everything is the dream of infinite love. You can experience this for yourself. The next time you feel the slightest bit of frustration from ANY interaction with another person, switch your state of mind to love. That is reality. Connection to your higher, true self. This is the cosmic joke. Thinking is the set up, love is the punchline. Thinking expands the involvement in the illusion, awareness of love expands the involvement of reality. I find the entity and the whole situation to be very funny in this manor, but I have a hunch that's me projecting on it my experiences of deep relief and love. ?

@phoenix666 takes time and focus

Welcome to the fold and hats off to you for taking up meditation. I do breathe focused meditation in the morning & all day breathe awareness. Guitar & singing a few times a week for zoning, concentration, and anything-but-seriousness. I do the do-nothing practice on solo retreats. One idea on meditation is to do it literally first thing in the morning and with each added day, carry the meditative state longer through your day. It takes a while, but if you love your rituals and let go of expectations, it will stay through your entire day and lead to blissful non-thought periods, which will eventually stay through out your day as well. I suggest loving the practice and thinking of it as 'you' time when all the world disappears. ?

@Dodo right now, you are alone in the most literal possible sense. You are the only entity. Beyond what you can see right now, there is an infinite field of superposition. There is not the rest of the earth, or universe, or anthing. Reality is only what you are perceiving, and all of it is your dream.

I am so moved by the volnurability here. If someone hurt me in my childhood, and it made me think I am weak, I would blame everything. I would blame every little sound. I wouldn't face that pain cause fuck you. I'd construct a world out of it. I would never admit it to anyone, ever. I would make damn sure I appear strong, and I would blame. Furthermore, if my wife was open and comfortable with her vulnerability, it would piss me off. I'd married the very resolve I needed, and the hurt would shelter me from hearing it.

@Joseph Maynor ever watched a scary movie? If you did, you chose to because all is well, it's just a movie. Also, every single one of us can exit this any moment we want, which, hopefully, triggers that we actually want life. Great question! @Brimstone dream out of love....right? & I love your words!

@BeyondForm if you fear it, then you will not, so nothing to worry about.

Pros: Replace yourself by hiring & training people who hire & train people, who service the customers Spend most of your time with your family, travel, take up hobbies, pursue your spirituality / enlightenment helping others become financially independent Work with others on new start ups Mentoring your employees Expands your mind as to what is possible Investing in others, playing a role in supporting their dream Cons: requires (sometimes) a pretty radical belief in what is possible and a crazy level of focus on one's own vision. This ime, starts off in the cons column, and moves over time to the pros column requires us to constantly be doing what we want to do. For me, this is exercise, meditation, and chalk board mapping / vision when others doubt themselves, specifically your employees, you must maintain the perspective that allows your vision to be able to lead

@The White Belt Future reference - work your way up to a high enough dosage of psychedelic trip that you experience the Alone. Comfort & kid sized fun with the entire assimilating, rehearsing, and performance process go through the roof. The clearity of just how much it doesn't matter is, imo, so liberating and it comes through in the performance, paradoxically. That and ample practice of course. In the few days leading up to the show, make sure you're on purpose with looking at the funnier side of life. I think performance nervousness is over-seriousness, and something to laugh about. You're really a bright dude. You're lit. That you are doing what you want in pursuing an art should feel very good. You're going to have your best show, and you're going to have your worst show. The only question is how many will you rise to the challenge of enjoying? You're gonna kill it.

Exercise & meditation. ?

@Hero in progress you had me at hello

@Hero in progress ya. Standing there, afterwards, completely drenched, with sand and dirt caked all over, was such a liberating blow. It made me think of the insurance term "act of God". In three minutes all was lost. The last trip was to Oregon. Camped on a mountain top, brewed some shroom tea and watched the eclipse. So humbling. Cheers to the camping madness! Can't wait for the next one!

@Thomas Razzeto Can you speak to your experience of the soul? It gets mentioned on here a lot, as you would imagine, but I have no experience with it. Is it meant to be poetic, or literal?

@Serotoninluv intense conceptualization is often follow by a major Realization.

@Hero in progress One time on a camping retreat, a sandstorm came out of nowhere and ripped away everything. My tent, my clothes, even my wallet. It was insane I was hanging onto a tree for 15 minutes literally trying not to blow away. Best camping trip ever.
