In truth, there is no "becoming" the true Self, we already ARE the true Self. Well, why didn't you just say so But, more seriously, yeah, it takes no time to recognize your true nature, but often times ego creeps back in and claims this recognition, hence the spiritual ego. Merry Christmas ❤?

Then, you didn't really mean this- "Even the sense that we are the pure Consciousness aware of everything is an illusion.." ? I would say, all there is is being pure consciousness aware of everything.

@Alex bAlex I didn't mean for you to call necessarily while you were still there. You could call as a concerned citizen once you have driven away.

I know what my intentions are and they were not to cause harm. I also know that what's being perceived as arguing was me being persistent about wanting an answer to one question. The answer would have been the basis of a good inquiry, but never mind. I will opt of of this discussion now. Peace ?

I've had the insight. I was trying to help him with one thing I thought he was over looking, but he wouldn't engage with me about it. So be it.

I'm trying to inquire with him....

My question, "are you aware or not?"

And I'm only asking a question. So, what's the problem?

I'm referring to what he has said.

I don't see that's what he is pointing at, but ok.

No worries, you didn't offend or hurt me. I wasn't answering you as a mod. If that were to ever happen, I would stop being a mod. I answer how I want/ feel like answering. I'm just very blunt and straight forward. You didn't answer, are you aware or not? You had said, "Even the sense that we are the pure Consciousness aware of everything is an illusion..."

Damn, that book looks beat up?

Then that's your truth. Not that there isn't one. I disagree. So, you aren't aware?

@VeganAwake I have a feeling you are regurgitating what you've read/heard without fully processing/understanding it.

Meaning? And, what do you mean exactly that your totally empty? You have no thoughts, feelings, what?

I was referring to awareness/consciousness the fundamental reality of all that is....not personal consciousness. I did not say dreamer. I said consciousness is dreaming a dream. The meaning is completely different.

Language also happens.

Like this.

No, you misunderstand me.

Bingo! All there is, is consciousness "appearing " to be this, that and the other. Dreaming a dream.

??

Haha, well, on a forum I like to know who the author is of posts when I'm replying. Plus, really, the author should be quoted. My college English teacher drilled this into my "apparent" head.? It's also plagiarism not to do so, even though it's just a forum.

@Alex bAlex Seeing that you don't know these ppl and it's related to your job. You could call the police afterwards to go check on them next time, since you have an address she was last at. Otherwise, emergency rooms handle suicidal ppl quite often and can pink slip them, so they can't leave. Typically they are wanting help though or have already swallowed pills or something.

I've not done psychedelics, but some medications can block the effects of psychedelics (antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc) so would require larger dosing, but if you microdose and feel effects, then I guess that's not the problem?

Good for you! Good luck with it all. After the holidays I'll be getting back on track myself. I call sugar "crack" (cocaine). Whenever I go to this certain gas station this particular lady tries to sell me every candy known to man. I tell her, "I don't want no CRACK!", lol. I thought the burial for the zebra cake was hilarious, but poor mom, haha.
