  1. Thats a question from the materialistic paradigm, you are implying consciousness is a property of an organism, or a developed AI (lets call it a robot) and that the mind and sense perceptions are "ways" of knowing.  

    A more closer to truth statement would be that consciousness HAS an organism or a robot. But even that is incorrect, as it personificates consciousness.

    Really there is ONLY consciousness, the supreme self, as you said.  There are no boundaries to make the distinction of something having something and something being had by something. 

    To say that rocks, trees or people HAVE consciousness, is called panpsychism. 

    Science has not yet accepted this view as a whole. From their paradigm, scientist can legitimately ask the question you just asked, but even in that paradigm lies a problem: how can you tell true self consciousness from an intelligent imitation of consciousnes? What kind of a test would you come up with?  Interview is just talking and talk is just that: talk. AI can talk about self consciousness all day without truly having it. 

    But yeah more importantly, my first point. 

    Check out the movie: Ex machina :)

    Spreading your Truth to others directly and wanting them to believe is not really helpful I think. Plus you never know what is waiting for you in the corner. Maybe you haven’t grasped it all yet? I invite you to be open to this possibility ;) 

    This, no matter how much liquid 5-MeO you have swirling around in you butt.

    What is the nature of consciousness after "death"  if it is not being manifested trough that organism? 

    Maybe pic related??  (joking...  :ph34r:

  3. @Dream @DreamBe carefull of what you are doing there. To me that sounds like a huge conspiracy-like obsession about @Leo Gura and his work, drawing deluded conclusions and interpretations about words and their meaning. 

    If you really are making a documentary about that, which I doubt, do share it here. I would gladly watch it, but as I said, I suspect your house is full of used tinfoil tubes. 


  4. In purist terms, the ego does not exist so asking for example, what is it or how does it comes about,  is delusion. But if this fact is not in your direct consciousness, you must admit that and give the apparent reality to it, so that you can go on a fools quest to "kill" it, in order to realize that there is nothing to kill. If this was not the case, everyone would be naturally enlightened in dualistic terms. 


  5. You are implying free will and existence of a tangible thing called "an ego".

    From the POV of ego, all action is ego based, but in actuality all action is just action, no meaning or purpose. Cause, action and reason exist only in the mind, and the mind is ultimately unreal. 

    But I get your point. How indeed, can one quit playing the game by playing the "quit the game" - game? One cant. My strategy is to play along the game untill I realize that I cant lose or win, and at that point the game is revealed not to exist. 

    One thing you can do, is beat that particular horse to the death so much that you eventually have to admit your problem does not really exist in your direct experience, only in your conceptual mind. 


  6. Yes, as you are quite young. Psychedelics are nothing to mess with, that I can tell from first hand experience. Especially acid, I find that if you have deep rooted pet beliefs and theories, acid might actually reinforce them instead of deconstruct, and that's trouble because if your experience of the world is this, but your theory of it (which is entirely in your mind) is that, and they do not match and you don't have enough awareness to see it early enough and that is a potential downward spiral from there.

    Ofc that's just my experience but yeah, an advice.


  7. @Rilles feel you man. I have been thinkin about my own death pretty often for some time now, and somehow Im convinced I WILL die because of some horrible, agonizing accident/disease.

    The human body is so amazing, running so many things simultaneously and always failing and recovering with 0 awareness or input by "you". Random thought I was discussing a few days ago with someone:

    Imagine if you went to a bunch of engineers and told them "Heyy, could you design and build a robot that is like 60% fluid, can perform all the physical and athletic tasks that a human can, and it must be able to gather resources from its surroundings in order to build a clone of itself inside itself,  that then grows once its ready and it must be able to do the same things it parent is capable of?" 

    Those requirements are bafflingly ridiculous alone, but they were just a few from the endless amount of functions your body does by itself. 

    Respect your body, it's way beyond just being a temple, because a temple is a pretty straight forward structure. 


  8. Funny you brought that up @Nahm . I did wake up a few months ago for about 30 minutes with the aid of shroom tea, didn't even trip too hard at the time. But yeah, I fell back asleep. I have a deepened sense of how things are and how the illusion comes about. But the truth is not in my direct experinece NOW, so Im left with no choise but to seek or ignore. Both hurt. 


  9. ...to a such and extent that I honestly cant enjoy regular life the same way anymore. This idea of the true self used to be liberating but It's now turning to a huge obsession and It's stressing me out so much. Seeking seeking seeking, thinking thinking thinking. Meditation does not do it for me anymore, I cant find lasting peace from that or anything else really. Can't relax, can't take a break... I have heard all the teachings, I know all the techniques, seek/don't seek, concentrate/just be. This will potentially drive me to some kind of depression if I don't find a way to reconcile. 

    I'm just tired but seemingly not tired enough, as the strain has not broken me yet.

    Anyone feel the same? :/
