Classic!

"Woo-woo" is just the excuse of a bigoted mind to justify its bigotry as science. Every cutting-edge scientific discovery feels "woo-woo". Until the mind gets used to it, then it becomes "established science" which could not have been otherwise. The ego-mind always plays this game of moving the goalposts and denying its own bigotry. Reality distortion 101

@Ingit You got it backwards: there never was a person before the coma. Pure self is __________ . All the coma did was disable the mechanism which constructed the false self. Like turning off a movie projector. No actors are killed because they were not real to begin with, just some moving light. Turning off the projector does not making the on-screen actor suddenly experience "the real world". There is no real world outside the movie world.

Just a hunch With 5-MeO there are breakthroughs and then there are BREAKTHROUGHS. Snorting produces inconsistent dosages as it can easily fail to properly absorb. Dealing with a leaking nose is also a big distraction from the trip. Plugging is SMOOOOOTH. And lasts twice as long. Only to bigoted minds. Doctors prescribe it all the time. Once you plug you'll never go back.

Love is a facet of the Absolute. This makes no sense from the materialist paradigm. You have to stop thinking of reality as a dumb physical mechanical object. Instead, think of reality as a Giant Mind, and minds can love. I'll make a video about it in the future.

It's a model, you know... like the 10 ox herding pictures. See its utility but don't get hung up on it. You guys are still not being mentally flexible enough in your study of all this information. You're getting hung up on models and judging them because you take them as all or nothing, true or false, good or bad, right or wrong. This is an overly literalist approach which you should strive to outgrow. To quantify enlightenment does not have to mean that enlightenment is quantifiable. The taste of a chili pepper is not quantifiable, yet that does not stop scientists from quantifying the hotness level of chili peppers. And it is useful to know that a habenaro is a lot hotter than a jalepeno.

Dismissed? What you talking about? I was conveying a sense of hope and comfort. Depression is an ego backlash reaction to learning profound truths about life. When I first learned about enlightenment, I was depressed for about a week. Then it I got over it and everything was fine again. It's just the ego being a drama queen.

Right. So the thing for you to realize about that is: that's a fear-based concern. Fear is an emotion which distorts an objective unbiased inquiry into truth. Can you see that? You are afraid of seeking the truth because you're afraid you might fall into delusion. But, eventually you will realize that itself is a delusion! Because all fear is a delusion of the ego-mind. Why? Because you are afraid of death? But death itself the Truth! So all fear is the avoidance of Truth. There is no how. Absolute Truth is DIRECT! This does not make sense to you because you believe you are a human being having perceptions of a physical external reality. This turns out to be a false belief. The Absolute Truth is accessible to you at every second of your life. In fact, there is nothing but Absolute Truth. Can you see how your belief that "the truth cannot be accessed directly" is just an unfounded unscientific belief? You in fact have no proof that truth cannot be accessed directly because one cannot prove a negative. And if you're honest you'll admit that you've never even tried.

@outlandish A) Your dose is still too low for the real breakthrough. B) You are still failing to let go and surrender. C) Stop snorting this stuff. Plugging is FAR superior.

@tashawoodfall Don't worry, it will pass. That's just the ego acting up like a pouting child that didn't get her ice cream sandwich.

Of course he's correct. No maybes about it. This is only shocking news to dogmatic materialists. Mankind has known about all this for over 5000 years, since the ancient Egyptians at least. Dean Radin is an example of how a true scientist must think: radically openminded and unbiased. You follow experiment wherever it leads, and if happens to lead to magic, then magic it is.

I dunno, hard to say. Ramaji rated my LOC level somewhere in the no-self zone (600-700), but I disagreed with his assessment. I thought it was too high. Once he learned I use psychedelics he sort of said his LOC rating might not be accurate for me. Because I have a very creative mind, I am not that good at meditation. Other people find mediation much easier. I've had to go through a lot of techniques to finally settle on Kriya yoga. In a sense, I've wasted a lot those 5 years doing poor meditation. I wish I'd known about Kriya 5 years ago. But also, I've become conscious of LOC 1000 and beyond. I'm just not stabilized in it yet. What you have to understand is that 5-MeO does not fit anyone's models or LOCs. 5-MeO can get you beyond LOC 1000 in 15 minutes. Virtually no spiritual master or teacher understands or accounts for 5-MeO in their models. In a sense, I found a way to hack the entire spiritual path. But few people believe me. They think I'm nuts. But that's just because they haven't tried a big strong dose of 5-MeO. Truth is Truth. Doesn't matter how it sounds to the ego.

@Akira If you have an injury, just skip Mahamudra for now. Mahamudra is considered an important core technique. But you don't have to add it in right off the bat. You can master the other techniques and add in Mahamudra in a few months. Pranayama is the most important technique. Don't let perfectionism stop you from mastering yoga. Do whatever is necessary to circumnavigate excuses and obstacles.

@DustyWhy We are just trying to drop some bitter truth on you. In this work, it's good to have your illusions dispelled quickly, otherwise the ego chases rainbows and butterflies into fantasy land. The reason you got this response is because your post is titled and takes the attitude of "Convince me of the truth". Which is not at all the right attitude for seeking truth. Asking to be convinced of the truth is one of the most disrespectful things you can ask of a truth-realized person. It would be like telling a math teacher: "Convince me that 1 + 1 = 2. How do I know you're not tricking me?" The answer to your question is simply this: You don't know what is true. You don't know who to trust. You don't know what to do. That is a good place to be. You have to get used to not knowing things in this work. Only after you realize that anything or anyone could be tricking you, you start to investigate truth seriously for yourself without believing anyone. Have you seen my Practical Guide to Enlightenment? This is the process by which you discover the truth without having to trust anyone or anything: Do not even trust me. Do the inquiry and see what it yields.

Lol Existence is not demonstrable to anyone. Neither is identity, rationality, or science. All of these are dependent on subjective experience. There is in fact no such thing as objectivity.

@DustyWhy You can't trust anything. You must do work to discover what is true. You cannot sit back on your ass and expect truth to be delivered to you by someone. That is not how truth works. If you really cared about truth, you would be willing to invest 20 years searching for it. That's roughly the kind of dedication this work requires. Dabblers will not cut it. And there is no guarantee you will ever find it, or that it's even possible for a human to find. That's your predicament from your POV. From my POV, I've found the Absolute Truth and I understand why existence exists. It's a pretty cool thing. Whether you trust me or not is irrelevant. Trusting me will not help you one bit. If you don't know what to do, you're stuck in the Matrix. No one can free you but you. If you do not desire to be free, then stay a slave. The point of your life is to awaken, but you are free to piss your life away and stay a slave. Up to you.

It's very simple. How do you know science and rationality are the best way to understand reality? To make such a claim is already to be deeply unscientific and irrational because for you to know that science explains all of reality you would have to run a scientific test on this claim. And the only way to run that test is to spend a billion years investigating every corner of the universe until you finally demonstrate that every phenomena possible within reality can be understood by science. It is by no means a given that this test will come out true. In fact, it's much more likely that you will discover tons of phenomena which cannot be understood by existing scientific method at all. You would be a naive fool to assume that science and rationality can grasp every facet of reality. This is a highly unscientific position. How do you know science and rationality are not hallucinations? How do you know science and rationality can be trusted? How do you know science and rationality cover all possible phenomena? How do you know science and rationality are not tools of the ego-mind? How can you trust rationality when rationality has been used by people to delude themselves for thousands of years? How can you trust science when the history of science is filled with intelligent scientists making all sorts of absurd errors in understanding reality, only to have those errors exposed hundreds of years later, after they are dead? Who says reality is scientific and rational? Why should it be? What if science and rationality are just subjective, human-centric modes of perceiving reality? Notice, a person inside a Matrix can do science and rationality for 50 years and still have no idea he is inside a Matrix because science and rationality are illusions within the realm of the Matrix and cannot go outside it. That is a belief. What if the tree is precisely Absolute Truth? Maybe you are not really a human but you merely believe you are. Has science or rationality ever demonstrated that you are a human? NO! You don't know anything. The problem is that you are assuming you know a lot of stuff that you do not actually know. All that enlightenment is, is total skepticism about EVERYTHING. You become so skeptical that you stop believing you exist. The Truth is what remains after all your beliefs have been questioned to death, especially your beliefs about physical reality and your personal story of being a human being who was born on this planet called Earth. This is a story you invented. Don't believe me. Just question yourself to death. The fundamental problem here is that you believe an objective physical reality exists. This turns out to be false. All that exists are your projections and beliefs about it. Question your beliefs and physical reality will disappear as though it never existed. You are inside of a hallucination. I am not kidding. WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! Science and rationality are hallucinations so you cannot rely on them to escape the Matrix. No, the problem is that you already think you know how reality is. You do not know if truth is knowable or not. Which means, it could be knowable. But you are assuming it can't. Which is a groundless and unscientific assumption. No, you don't! You're full of shit. You have not seriously asked any deep questions about existence. You have not even bothered to question science and rationality, nor your own being. Your own mind has you thoroughly deceived. You do not yet even have an inkling how self-deceived you are. Nothing is real. That is enlightenment. You are confusing enlightenment for some kind of positive belief system. It is the polar opposite of that. Enlightenment is nothing. With enlightenment, all knowledge of reality is erased. It's like wiping a hard drive and not writing anything back on it. You are left totally blank. This blank is so blank that not only is your mind wiped out, all of physical reality is wiped out. Everything that exists ceases to exist. Nothing remains at all! No body, no brain, no Earth, no universe, no science, no rationality. Just pure blank. At this point you are physically dead. Nothing remains of you. And that is the Truth. You do not really want enlightenment. It is the last in the world your mind wants. You'd have to be suicidal to want it. People just do not appreciate how radical enlightenment is. You think I'm exaggerating. But I'm not.

@Your place at Heart You are looking at all this from an egocentric perspective. Try actually loving and understanding those whom you demonize if you really want to grow. Don't worry about feminists. Worry about cleansing the doors of your perception.

Don't bring your toxic mind viruses to this forum. All of this negativity is a projection of your own ego-mind. It's safe to say you have no idea what God is.

Freelance gigs are probably the simplest way to start. Although the market is flooded and pay usually isn't that good unless you've got some really good technical skills to offer. You can learn web programming pretty quickly and offer your services on freelancing websites like Upwork.com or Guru.com The better your skills and portfolio of work, the more money you'll make.

How can I know what is right for you? It sounds like good plan if you are passionate about being an entrepreneur. Not everyone is cut out for that though. You have to be really self-driven. I LOVE working for myself. It's the coolest thing second to enlightenment. But it's not for everyone.

@kieranperez Seems Red/Orange

@kieranperez Ahahahaha! Redneck reviewing Eckhart Tolle! You can't make this shit up! 'Murica!

@Kensho Ugh... Ben Shaprio is the worst of Blue. It's like Blue cancer, lol.

@kieranperez Just keep in mind, 100 years ago most of the world was illiterate. Our education system is just in its infancy. Human society is still in the Dark Ages. In 500 years all of this will be reformed. People like us are the wave of the future. Children in 500 years will take all of this for granted. For them, self-actualization will be 100 times easier because there will be a vast infrastructure in place for it, unlike now. We are building the infrastructure for tomorrow, today! Until that project is complete we will have lots of horny, angry, depressed Incels demonizing women.
