@Aakash No, there is much more that you still do not understand about reality. Self-inquiry is not the only thing to know.

Why are you making such groundless assumptions?? Since there was no one in control to begin with, that means nothing is lost with enlightenment. No-control is not opposed to drive. Drive is done by the universe, not by the ego. The ego is just an offshoot of universal drive. After enlightenment your life purpose becomes a force of the universe -- just like it always was. Nothing changed. Only some egoic delusions of control were removed. You assume that life purpose is an egoic thing, but it does not have to be.

In your Middle East example of course you want to understand the agendas of all sides. This doesn't mean they are all equal though. Those agendas can be categorized along Spiral.

Seems like trolling? Not sure what this thread is.

500ug is WAY too high for most people. That will melt your mind to a puddle.

@Jed Vassallo A) In that case, I would try some more snorting and plugging. Your technique or dosage may just be off. B) HCl can be smoked too. C) HCl can be converted to freebase pretty easily from what folks say. 5-MeO-DMT is not a substance you want to give up on easily. Find a way to make it work. It will be worth it.

@Jed Vassallo It just sounds like you have a moderate immunity but other than that it seems to have finally worked. You will just require an above average dose. Throwing up is solved by taking it on a completely empty stomach. If snorting and plugging don't do it for ya, then smoking certainly should. But you'll have to learn how to properly vaporize it and lower your doses a lot. You have to experiment to find what your mild, medium, high, and breakthrough dosages are. 4 trials is really not enough in your case. It would help a lot if you had done other psychedelics and knew your overall tolerance level to stuff like LSD and mushrooms.

@Time Traveler You will die from astonishment

Both Don't create spurious choices.

See my video: The Dark Side Of Meditation This was all explained.

@Time Traveler Take a psychedelic to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. You got less than 0.0001% of it now.

@seeking_brilliance Psychedelics are the best way to break time and linearity.

@LiakosN Sounds like spiritual purging is happening. The depression should come in waves, coming and going. Not staying consistently.

There is no difference between the screen and all the stuff on the screen. You can differentiate them if you want but they are simultaneously one. If you are seeing the screen as one thing and the stuff on the screen as another thing, that is a duality. So just realize they are one.

No statement can ever be absolutely true. All statements are dualistic and at best relatively and partially true. Absolute Truth is not a statement or an idea. It is what is actual. The entire actual universe and much more! Some aspects of solipsism point at one or two facets of the Absolute Truth, but Absolute Truth is way more grand and radical than solipsism would have you believe. Nonduality is a much better term than solipsism. But it is true that you are the only thing that exists. But NOT in the way you imagine.

@Quantum_fluctuations Most "evil" acts are motivated by ignorance and egoic fear and craving. With enlightenment these are seen through so there is much less need to do evil. good and evil are transcended into Good with a capital G. Without ego, everything becomes Good, not neutral as you might expect. Good and evil are not really equal and opposite. In truth there is no such thing as evil, leaving only Good.

Yeah, this is the whole trick with self-inquiry: the mind refuses to stay with the emptiness because it needs some image to grasp. Everything you wrote is the noise of the mind. Look past all that towards the emptiness and just try to observe it without worry or mind noise. This takes lots of practice, focus, and patience. Yes, this is Neti Neti. The emptiness cannot be found in the conventional sense of finding a physical object. Something radically new must click. What are you beneath all that mind noise and doubt? What is observing the noise? Stay on that with steadiness. Try to keep the mind very calm. You want to hit a silent observer state. Observe observation itself. You are observation itself. But what is observation?? Don't think the answer -- observe! You will definitely fall into the trap of intellectualizing emptiness over and over again thousands of times before you learn not to do that. Remember this is like a live scientific experiment. You are working in the labrabory of your own mind.

@seeking_brilliance There is not cause and effect. Those are relative. Trying to fit reality into a cause and effect paradigm is a big obstacle to spiritual understanding. Reality is nonlinear.

Cool

@TheAvatarState Nice! Have you realized the screen is infinite?

@Fairy Yup Something and nothing are indistinguishable.

Organic/inorganic is a duality.

@lmfao There is no such thing as "typical". Everything is 100% relative to the structure of one's nervous system, including the nervous system itself! Your nervous system restricts your access to what would otherwise be an infinite number of possible "realities" and insights.

You guys are playing with fire.

@Giulio Bevilacqua A leap of faith is required. You have no idea what will happen after enlightenment. Your whole life could change. Or not. You have to be willing to take that plunge into the unknown, ready to surrender everything, including everyone you love.
