Sounds like you have your experience, your proof and your finding already. Unless you don't know if you're narcissistic or not.

*When I suggested those areas of study, I meant that they are your best path for self mastery, life purpose, and self actualization. Of course it's my opinion admittedly.

A have found many cases where today's pain traces back to an adopted belief of a limiting role in one's past. Here's a simple example, not about pain specifically, but I think it's a great example of how we internalize something that later in life we think is involuntary:

If you don't have free will, why and how are you on this forum?

People often take the research that applies to milliseconds and conceptualize it to apply to years.

@Whywolf Nice. I did not see that other side. Thanks ?

everything is happening now ?

It's 87.69%.

You are pointing at circumstances and saying there is no inherent good or bad. I am pointing at you and saying realize you are the universe.

Awesome. Consider a perspective change. Inspiration to develop yourself will outlast desire for material things. You're losing interest in an hour because you're focusing on role cycles related to 'getting things'. From what you've said, you seek experiences that material things play a role in. (Role reversal?) The best guitar is the one you're playing.

Perhaps the biggest perk of realizing you are the universe, is choosing it's nature.

Sometimes, on shrooms, I get a huge wave of "seriously,...what the fuck is ALL this?!"

To give and to experience love

How did I get here?

@Truth "I'm just looking for some tips and maybe a little guidance in this process and maybe how others do self inquiry, how you started, how you progressed, Thanks." If you want simple easy truth, learn biology and physics. If you want to find balance in truth and mysticism (It sounds like this is more what you want) learn quantum mechanics. Meditate every morning to absorb and expand your capacity. It's hard to go wrong with the eight fold path as a foundation. A word of caution - always be cognizant of the difference between thinking, believing, knowing, experiencing and being. Your trancendance of each make for reasonable checkpoints. Emotionally, please enjoy every moment if you choose to bring learning into your path. When the learning culminates in your enlightenment, you will know nothing. So enjoy the journey, don't save anything for the destination.

Nice post. Since you're asking for advice....everything on the path to enlightenment is experience. You're good with either choice. Generally speaking, unless you're about to date Sting, you may be trying to weave sex and enlightenment together and making two simple things one complicated thing. Godspeed. ? ? ? ?

Love ❤️

You have no free will to change your environment?

@Kenhol Awesome post. It's a self imposed red herring. You're usage of I, I'm, and my change with each sentence. It's a paradigm structure. The resolve is that the field (which you are) manifests the body (which you are) which manifests the mind (which you are) which manifests the question, which you are no longer.

Have you thought about where you would go in your cars? What would you do with your instruments? What would you do with your computers? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What is bringing on the undesired emotions? Memories, certain people, etc?

@Whywolf I love what you're talking about. I spend as much time as possible in the flow. My practices are music, meditation, and cardio. I think I have a timely offer of balance for you. The flow is opposite to uniqueness. In my experience, it is synonymous with losing yourself. It is the state of having let go.
