What Happens when you meditate 10-16 hours per day for 5 months

Very interesting, truly serious in his practice, and his descriptions of states of bliss are accurate and authentic. I'd like to be able to meditate for a whole day (not 5 months 😅), but for now it's impossible; my ego would start screaming at me to stop wasting my time right now.

But in a couple of hours I can achieve a level of dissolution close to total. The thing is, automatically, when you begin meditating, your state changes to: there is no good or bad, no difference. Then your entire energetic structure relaxes immediately, and the boundaries of reality blur. You realize that you're creating barriers all the time with preference, which is inevitable and necessary, but it's essential to be able to deactivate this for a few minutes each day, even just one minute.

The difference is total. When the barriers fall, reality becomes limitless. Then what is recognizes itself; nothing more is needed, no infinity, no god, no source, just what is.

But there can be more, that is, mystical experience. The mystical experience is the opening to power, to the absolute source, to the sacred that vaporizes your psyche and, with just a fleeting glimpse, tells you: purify yourself. humble yourself. align yourself with the sacred. Then a process begins.

Your brain gets high, then eventually crashes, because your biology isn't meant to stay different from its baseline. (That said, I think most people aren't actually living at their baseline. Anytime you're using drugs or are possessed by memetics or "spooks" (Stirner), you're basically sick and "on drugs.")

There is no reason to meditate. It's almost like trying to get high from weed without actually smoking it.

Meditation is completely useless. (Then again, everything is, so if you find it fun, go for it. I just wouldn't expect to find a lasting state of bliss that comes for free.)

My theory is that your brain enters a kind of survival mode, similar to the adrenaline response during a fight, and after a while you experience a high. It's like the brain injects a survival response into the system because it doesn't know how to process what's happening.

That said, there might be a good reason to meditate. The only way to know is to do it and find out.

@AerisVahnEphelia nah you dismiss meditation. It rewires your brain.
