How can thing A be aware of thing B? If a brain can be self-aware why can't a coffee table? To say that God is self-aware is to say that everything is self-aware. In fact, there is nothing in existence but self-awareness. Name one thing which is not self-aware. Self-awareness has no opposite.

Enough with these stupid anti-enlightenment threads. You think you are being smart and clever by doubting enlightenment but in reality your ego is just being a devilish jackass.

@Strikr It's a stupid notion. Nietzche just misunderstood spirituality. What he blasts as "slave morality" is just surrender, humility, love, peace, and enlightenment. Nietzche's entire understanding of the origins of religion are wrong. Humility was not forced on anyone. Humility is the end result of ego loss. Nietzche's ego demonized it. I would put him at Orange. He hated Blue. A classic Orange atheist nihilist knee-jerk reaction to Blue.

Many statistical studies have been done on ESP. They all come out positive in meta-analysis. The chances of ESP not being true are like one in a billion according to the statistical analysis. The problem is that no serious scientist wants to accept it because it would ruin his career. Not to mention that you can teach yourself to do it. Check out Dean Radin's research.

@SuperLuigi I can almost guarantee your first game project will fail. If only it were as easy as to just sit down and make a game. You must be extremely prudent and strategic about testing niches and taking risks in business. Starting a successful biz usually requires many years of experience within a certain field. You must know many of the traps of your field. The advice is, find your life purpose and master a specific narrow field.

@Finland3286 Another thing you can do is research. Read 10 diverse books on nonduality and that will clear a lot of stuff up for you. You don't have to reinvent the wheel here. Mankind has understood nonduality for 5000 years at least. It's all been written down for those who care to read. It's sort of like you're struggling your way through mathematics when all you gotta do is pick up a math textbook. Nonduality is actually older and more solid than mathematics. They just don't teach it in school because it destroys all reality and society.

@Emne Yes, of course! That's usually the case. Passions start out like small seeds which must be watered and tended to flower. You don't just start with a giant raging passion.

@Joseph Maynor Illusion vs non-illusion is a duality. Your mind is still constructing that. All dualities must go!

They are far less accurate judging truth and deception in themselves.

Oooo! Nice!

@NoSelfSelf Yes, about 5 books in that category.

@Nevon Real vs unreal is a conceptual distinction of your mind. In other words, the universe does not know the difference between real and unreal. YOU created those categories! In the same way that the universe does not know the name of your cat. You invented that name and gave it to the cat. The cat does not really have a name.

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.
