@Natasha So good!

Never-ending love We’ve been doing this for eternity... Loving ourselves Infinitely Endlessly... Beingness The gentle pain of existence Softly caresses the echoes of your heart And when you feel tired It turns and hugs As the shiver on your skin Giving you a kiss The curse of that endlessness An infinite desire from separateness Taking a lifetime of beingness To give you the love from wholeness I sometimes feel All of my life in one single undivided moment All the emotions All the beauty All the love All the pain At once... Sacred tree Sacred tree Sitting alone In a dream Its arms folding Onto the beams of light The dream is asleep It speaks a thousand tongues In and out of its being Through the blood it drank In this realm of beauty Being a part of grace It seeps into you and me Fueling the voices of our pain The sacred tree speaks... It was once nothing Through the endless being It became something Nonduality, duality Existence and essence All are moving and being Living and dying Loving and hating Without time The gift The gift Of existence Something we granted ourselves It is through eternity That we see the bliss in mortality It is through difficulties That we can love without pain It is from the words that we sang That we hear the truth speak In silence We see the lives of infinite beings Living Through the cycles of love and pain And being aware of here We felt the love from that sacred place Speaking, without a word Being, love. Transcendence The bell rings at the wake of dawn Singing the echo of that holy song Where in this moment we shall sit And await the presence of next gong The wind is howling about a secret Of the magical beauty in the now As it flew, it kissed my skin And took away all my wrongs The drum beating in my chest Speaking the words of divine love Where no mind nor thoughts, Can disturb this song I am... Nothing more

Go to China and see for yourself if the people are oppressed.

Depends on your definition of enlightenment. If your definition is to be in higher states of consciousness at all times, then it is not permanent. The states of consciousness go up infinitely, and it is always shifting like a wave. You can not function as a human in super high conscious states(where reality melts down). You can be as conscious as you can while maintaining reality, but it will still fluctuate up and down, just less extreme the more conscious you are. This is by choice. My definition of enlightenment is the full realization of being/self/love, which will also lead to the end of seeking. To reach this point, you would have to experience absolute nothingness/infinite love directly. This is permanent; the knowledge of why everything is the way they are becomes absolutely clear, thus ending the seeking. This, however, doesn't mean you are in high conscious states all the time. After this, you are truly free to be whatever you want to be, so you are free to choose how you experience reality. And no matter how high or low your consciousness gets, you will always have this knowledge/being as a baseline.

When suffering becomes infinite, it becomes pleasure/love.

@Vittorio Yes.

@Jayson G Ayahuasca is legal in some states. Google retreats for it. It's legal in Florida if you are on the east coast.

@Vittorio Yes! Healing is also an important step that you must complete.

@Vittorio Yes! Keep going!

@Vittorio Awakening is infinite.

@Vittorio You are on the right track. Keep going.

@Vittorio This is good; you are reaching the state of pure being. The desire to move on(enlightenment) is the remaining thing that's stopping you. You need to reach a deeper realization about this thing that you are pursuing; ask yourself, you should already have the answer. Then once you have that realization, I recommend doing psychedelic to ground it. Follow your heart and intuition.

Non-duality is dual. Absolute non-duality/duality cannot be described with words.

@Javfly33 That perspective(duality and separation) itself is love. To be in it yet still awake and conscious of infinite love(non-duality) at the same time is the state you will have through more awakenings. The deeper you go, the more unified the two becomes. To be God means to be everything, including your ego.

Ego is infinite love. Become conscious of that, and the ego will disappear into nothing.

@Kay100 Yes

Fear is caused by desire and ignorance. You want something that you don't have, and if you can't get it, You will fear. You can't get it because you don't know how to (ignorance). To overcome fear, you either let go of that desire or learn how to get it. Finding the root cause of your fear is like finding out what you desired/don't have. Very often when you find the root cause, you will realize that it is something you already have and always had. Thus the fear goes away. Or if you don't have it, you then will simply have to learn how to get it, there is no reason to fear because you can change the situation. As an example, if you are afraid of not being good enough to do something, let's say you were looked down upon by others when you grew up. Or if you are afraid of dogs, maybe you have been hurt by them when you were young. You didn't know how to defend yourself against the dog or didn't know how to interact with the dog in a way that befriends them. By looking at it with the knowledge of what fear is, you will realize you have all the power to change the situation, thus the fear will fade away because it is not the truth.

@Persipnei Both ways works, you can try to contemplate until you know all there is to know so your mind goes quiet, or simply be and realize that you are everything. Or you can do both at the same time, I switch between the two because they lead to the same place, and they naturally flow into each other.

I would recommend trying all the practices at least 4-5 times to see which ones work best for you. For me, they can all create mystical experiences with enough intensity. Even just living life, with enough awareness, you can have a mystical experience just through being aware of life itself. Methods such as: Meditation/Awareness/Beingness Contemplation/Self-inquiry Observation Concentration Visualization Prayer Shamanic Breathing Yoga Learning/Reading/Listening to masters Living life with awareness/Put your knowledge into practice Selflessness/Love Lucid Dreaming Astral Projection Energy/Kundalini Meditations Happiness Contemplating/experiencing Suffering And others.

True contemplation will always lead to beingness and silence. If you really do deep concentrated contemplation for many many hours on a topic, you will always end up in the same place. The reason why we think about things is that we don't know things. Through contemplation, you can gain knowledge directly from the source, and thus over time, your mind will actually become quieter due to an increased understanding of everything.
