DXM - Understanding Nothingness

This trip also made me realize how much of my human potential I was wasting by chasing awakening/god-realization instead of focusing on life goals. Infinity is ultimately where I will end up, might as well enjoy the game of life and being a finite self to the fullest degree possible while I am here. I have been using spirituality to bypass a lot of my everyday problems, and now I am fully focused on facing and fixing them.

This got me thinking of my life tendencies as well, I think I do the similar thing, but haven't experienced Awakening yet. But in my mind some stuff is paused before I get my Awakening, at least a temporal glimpse, because I think that experience will affect my life goals. 

Don't you have similar experience? When you say that after Awakening you now realize that you need to focus on your life goals deeper, didn't those life goals change at least to some degree after you had your understandings?

Notice you found exactly what Actualized.org told you you would find. You sought Leo's teachings, took a dissociative, and found... Leo's teachings. 

Lol.

This is like saying, you went to Antarctica and saw snow, exactly like you were told.

A buddhist takes psychedelics and finds buddha nature. A christian takes psychedelics and finds god's love. A Leo follower takes psychedelics and finds infinite consciousness and solipsism. 😂 

All 3 find snow in Antarctica.

Lol.

A Leo follower looks down at his dick and finds one dick.

Very insightful trip. Never knew cough medicine could be a psychedelic.

I will stick to more reliable substances for now (aka shrooms, LSD, etc.).

Yeah, its tricky. On one hand, nothing matters in the absolute sense. But on the other hand, on the relative level, some goals are more worth it than others. There are certain actions and ways of thinking in this game of life that you can undertake that will just be way higher ROI on a practical survival level. For example, its way higher ROI to make a lot of friends, not smoke weed 24/7, learn new things that can make you money, start a business, etc. than just rotting at home. My previous life goals were very fear-driven, ego-centric, and addiction based. Now, it's more so 'What is the best path, factoring in risk-to-reward ratio, to get what I want out of life?' Now of course, one can say 'but I don't care. I am okay with rotting 24/7. This is how I want to live my life, because my life is short and doesn't matter in the absolute sense.' then you actually WILL be okay with this state. Your mind is powerful beyond belief. Question is, are you really okay with being in that state? Your ego is wired to seek success, relationships, comfort, pleasure. These desires can be healthy because it will allow you to embody Love at a much deeper level. You might as well work with the ego (but don't feed its delusions. The ego is very tricky and will often use many activities as a way to escape reality rather than face it).

Just focus on your daily life: making money, having good relationships, forming good habits, achieving small goals that lead to bigger goals, etc. You can take psychedelics every now and then to try to awaken. It doesn't really matter how you get there. We all awaken when we die, so don't be so eager to rush there. Enjoy the game of life when you can. It can be quite fun.

@Joshe When I see it I didnt even know this stuff existed and then I looked on YouTube for God realization and found the video advanced God realization.

When I awaken I was an athiest and verbally said I am God and my brain exploded. Theres no other explanation when you dissapear, you have to be God. You aren't going to be your mother or your neighbour.

Buddha, and infinite love, infinite conciousness,  are just the same term for one that remembers.
