Kinda seems what’s happening to me now. I’m becoming less and less impressed by radical states. Being a normal human seems more fun for at least part of the time.

Awesome! It's like it's the end of mystical experiences, since all there is, is mystical experience.

Everything is Jhana to one who knows the true purpose of learning Jhana, and I’m starting to care about the Jhana about being a relatively moral and effective human being to reduce pain, suffering, and existential ignorance. 


Everybody wanna be a mystic, but nobody wanna dissolve themselves to the point of a psych ward visit.

Just listen to this and feel your normal humanness. Allow being a normal person identity to be present and hold it and love it https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2gnsgQXa8&feature=share

 

We are not gods. We are something more special albeit with less control.
