Psychedelics for Enlightenment?

23 posts in this topic

@newbee Psychedelics are like pulling a trampoline up against the prison wall that is the self jumping up and down one can see the immaterial boundaryless reality, or to put simply 'reality as it is', but it's just that, an endless jumping up and down. Meditation is the real game.


just be here, if you can do it this moment you can do it the next moment

this is the now, now is all that is real, the truth is now, not your concept or experience, just this

is there suffering in this ? work to be done young jedi. me

@Rigel It is provable, but only through direct realization. At best, people can point you toward the inner path. It's up to you to try it out, and determine whether or not it leads to Self-insight and equanimity. I can tell you that meditation has been enormously beneficial in my spiritual journey, but the words mean nothing unless they motivate you to try it for yourself. If you want the rewards of meditation, you have to earn them. Consciousness doesn't give up its secrets easily. It is always there in the deepest cave of the heart, waiting to be discovered, but only when it decides the time is right. Maybe encouraging others to practice meditation is a way for Consciousness to reveal itself to itself. Maybe not. Try it and see.

@vladorion Do you feel realizing your true nature is a one-time thing? Maybe it varies, but for me enlightenment is elusive. Just when Consciousness reveals itself within and my thoughts seem to have receded forever into the distance, I am plunged back into the cold waters of the conditioned mind and forced to continue swimming to the next island of reprieve. I have seen a spiral of awakenings lasting for longer periods of time, but eventually they are followed by another dark night that drives the realization of my ultimate nature even deeper. I feel that when you finally stop falling asleep, and your attachments dissolve to the thinnest sense of a personal self, at that point you have attained enlightenment.

Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.
