Having a Proper Epistemological Framework of Reality.

[JoshB]

All of the advice you post makes me feel like im not enough right now. @Leo Gura

And thats the exact thing driving all of this. 

There's not some other minds out there that are more developed then me, more awake they're all a construction Within my own mind. 

When does the work end when does the seeking end when does the suffering end. 

What youre telling me doesnt add up to what you teach where's my say in the matter where's my will?

from the relative I might agree but from the Absolute I utterly disagree. I'm the reason anything exists at all 

So what? Then be happy.

All of your thoughts are meaningless if you can't be happy and at peace at the end of the day.

That is the real measure of Truth.

If you are not happy and at peace then you are misunderstanding something.

Awakening comes in many degrees and Ive reached a point where ive seen the Absolute nature of God. But trapped in the ego when im sober but there is still a large amount of conciousness just not  When im awake on a pyschdelic its all me and God Loves me infinitly and I can imagine reality any way I want with as much intimacy as I want. With others realizing they're me and love and know me as much as I want. I had an awakening where I realized I determine if others exist or not. 

Well ultimately there is no self so is there ever really a personal problem no

@JoshB You need to start doing serious manual work, not just psychedelics. Psychedelics got your foot in the door but they will not develop you to the levels necessary to be peaceful and happy.

Start doing Kriya yoga every day. It will improve your mind.

And work on your family trauma issues.

It is like you are asking how to walk. The answer is you just try and you'll figure it out.

You have to spend 1000s of hours just contemplating every bit of reality, piecing things together

@Leo Gura Can you elaborate on how you actually understand things? There must be more to it than just bumping your head against the wall trying different things. I get the sense that it's a sort of mystical intelligence that doesn't ever have a guarantee of being correct. The awakenings like pure direct knowing, but they're never final, there's always more.
I remember in an older episode you said that you still struggle to understand understanding itself. Have you had new realizations on the topic?

@JoshB think if it as a lucid dream. And you have become lucid.  Theres still people in the dream telling you they are real and they are more awake than you.  It doesn't contradict that they are actually projections of your own mind.  Would you let that bother you then or would you smile and look down at it from a meta-perspective.  Lose yourself in the dream but remember you also have that other gear.  That is where the fun really starts.  Because you can lose yourself - but there is an escape hatch.
