Very cool

That's not how Awakening works. You cannot predict it nor egoically will it to happen. The more you fantasize about having an Awakening, the further you will get from it. Your ideas of Awakening are not it. So be careful. It sounds like you are creating fantasies of it. Your mind needs to be laser focused on your direct experience, not dreams of being Awakened. Ideas of Awakening are not Awakening. I know this is not what you want to hear.

Don't kid yourself. Psychedelics are important, but they are easy compared to weeks of nonstop meditation.

Yes. But if you're just starting out there is no rush. Psychedelics is it's own deep domain and you can't do everything at once.

There's not much difference between bad faith and ignorance.

@Rafael Thundercat You better be fucking joking.

Because all truth is related.

I am open to that. But it still requires consciousness of Truth in the end.

I can't answer that because consciousness is not a quantity. A few grams of mushrooms worth of consciousness.

No. It's not hardcore. It's an excuse and a dodge from doing real work. The self will make any excuse to avoid self-annihilation. Being lost in illlusion is framed as spiritual or noble or "my truth". No. You're still just being selfish and unconscious.

That's a dream. Because you refuse to take psychedelics. You refuse to do the work required to understand the deepest truths. That is your choice. Realizing that the physical world is a hallucination requires insane levels of consciousness. Seriously. That level of consciousness is unimaginable.

Why do you assume that there is any dream but yours? Do you have any evidence whatsoever of other dreams? None. Yet you believe it. Why?

Being lost in survival is not hardcore truth, it is everyone's condition. Be careful not to romanticize how people lived in the past. They mostly lived like animals, not sages.

@Schizophonia You don't have enough experience to be making your claims.

Do you have any idea how hard Bill Gates worked? He worked nonstop for decades.
