What exactly do i know?

Why do you assume i know?

What is it that you know?

Explain this enlightenment

Great observation.  You already Know, so why do you ask?

I know about as much as a lobotomized fish. Flopping seems to be all thats left of me.

Perhaps gasping for whatever is left. Nothing.

That's a thought story you're telling and tolling Yourself.

See how easy to get lost in distraction?

It occurs without the least bit recognition

And it can leave you with some nasty scars

Dont you know?

Scars are wisdom scars are beauty.

God dont we love scars.

I wonder why they think of themselves this way

They arent stupid thats for sure

Something of a lack of water?

No oxygen uptake?

Unmet requirement?

What else is needed but this moment right here?

How does reality work?

How does existence work?

What is consciousness?

What is god?

The same questions which come around again & again 

Something to be said of persistence

Something to be said of not knowing

Something to be said of fearlessness

Something to be said of a lack of reserve

All finite perspectives are full of it to a degree that cannot be totally absolved, all you have to do is observe.  This is not a bug, this is a feature.

Gasping for water

Some things are not undoable. A hook sunk in, its barb, stuck deep

Unless our catcher is kind enough to unhook us and let us swim free?

Coy

The word comes from the Latin quietus (meaning quiet or still), highlighting that being coy is a form of being "quiet by design".

A good sting will wake anyone up

Words 

Sharp as a blade 

 

Think you could unhook us?

Put some pretty words in there?

Make us think higher of ourselves.

Put the best words you can come up with!

Think you could pull it off?

~♤~

Edit

Nothing you said

Its what i said 

Think we could change what my internal script is by using the external to reflect something more positive inwards? @Joseph Maynor

Up to you really. Not within my current abilities to do

Still puzzles me how he cannot see that Oneness/Unity is Love.

This is the single most important ontological insight ever. How he misses boggles my mind.

I haven't truly had a full on Love awakening either but I have had enough to know it's definitely there. But this is why I can relate with Ralston and understand why he sees it this way.

Love is like a completely different dimension of awakening. Imagine the x, y, z coordinates to be the mind, heart and gut. It's possible for all your awakenings to be somewhere along the mind - gut plane but never move along in the heart dimension. 

Love is like that snapping turtle right there in your face about to eat you every time you awaken but because you are so blind you miss it.

I don't know why you're offended by anything I said.

Well, I don't know how bad yours is, but I never said that disqualifies you from psychedelics.

OCD is a strange condition which I don't know how it mixes with psychedelics.

Perhaps someone here who has OCD and has done psychedelics can chime in.

 

I have pure Ocd (No Compulsions) and have tripped over 100 times. Ive done Dmt, Lsd, Shrooms, mdma, and salvia. 

OCD is like this constant beam of focus and obsession towards having a perfect metaphysical and epistemic understanding.

Like @Inliytened1 its doubt, i have must have pure certainty and understanding of whats absolutely true. And eliminating that doubt with more and more conciousness is the methodology. 

But the doubt eventually comes full circle and eats its own tail into Absolute Truth / Certainty / Being

The one thing you can not doubt is your own being which is Absolute. 

You basically doubt the ego to death

People with OCD can realize it but oftentimes they do not.

Needing everyone to agree with you is kind of an OCD.  

This feels more like validation then ocd. 

A desire for approval instead psychological certainty.

Maybe Ralston's mind has ossified with age. It happens to the best of us. Only human. 

Can't transend biology.... 

I perceive he wants a clean distinction between love and infinity due to the human, relative perception of love, and it's loaded connotations. 

It's all nameless in the end.

Anyway LOVE you all!!! Girly giggles of love! Thanks for existing 

Speak your mind.  Let's have a full discussion.

One is emotional and one is your sense of reality
