Since I am Absolute I can only ever know my reality -- that's what this awakening revealed. I can only ever know my dream. Maybe. If you imagine it to be that way. The trick here is that how you imagine it to be tends to create that kind of reality. You're playing a constructive role here, you're not just a passive observer. You are dreaming it into being. If you dream that every atom has it's own dream, that is what you will create as your reality, since you are God. And if you dream that atoms aren't even real, that will become your reality. Yes Or "we" is just your dream, the only one. How would you ever know? Something paradoxical like that. Yeah, that's one way to imagine it. The key point is that you take responsibility for constructing reality as you wonder about "how it really is." You are playing an active role as you question and explore it. It isn't merely some way independent of your questions about it. As Ralston says, "Reality is however you hold it." If you imagine that every atom has its own dream, that's what you create for yourself. So part of the issue here is: How would you like to hold reality? You are God after all

They become connected if you realize they are all you But if you imagine them to be disconnected, then so it is.

@ChrisZoZo Maybe you're just dreaming, bro

It's sorta like telling a kid that there are no rules. True but dangerous.

Muslim terrorists have also gotten court trials.

He does way more than psychedelics. People also age at different rates based on genetics, diet, health conditions, and many other factors. Blaming aging on psychedelics is very sloppy thinking.

What literature? Get a scale, get your scoop, get your chemical, and see how much one scoop weighs. It will differ from chemical to chemical. Ideally you calibrate each chemical.

For most people JP is at their level of need in life. What we are doing here is pretty advanced, as I say. Yes, Truth is sorta useless. However, Jordan Peterson's teaching are all about seeking Truth, even though he himself hasn't really found it. So it's a bit of blind leading the blind with him. You can say Truth doesn't matter, but actually it's the only thing that does.

That difference: it going away vs it not, is itself imaginary! Your room is as imaginary as that lion, it's just a more persistent version of imagination. If you close your eyes your room goes away.

@mmKay Yup! Great read.

Infinity is a beautiful thing. Don't forget to enjoy the beauty.

Didn't get any nausea. But it does feel weird. Significant visual field and body-feel wraping. Feels somewhat "broken" and "dysfunctional". If you want a great body feel, try 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-MIPT. Always take psychedelics on totally empty stomach.

I asked him in private.

Said a gay dude I see a work of art.

@Consilience FYI, you're not even conscious yet that you are imagining Ralston and myself.

Go on Yelp and search for Life Coaches in your area. Read reviews and test out various coaches until you find one you like.

It's not hilarious. It's a serious and important discussion of method and what's possible with spirituality. A more important discussion cannot exist within spirituality. Naively accepting/assuming that every path leads to maximal consciousness is moronic and harmful. Everything is God, but not everything leads to maximal consciousness. If this was true then you wouldn't need spiritual teachings or techniques at all, you could stick your finger up your butt and become enlightened. If you are serious you must distinguish between which techniques are more vs less effective.

Yes. But you're not conscious of all that you could be. I don't need to take 5-MeO to access God. I am God. Now and forever. I could turn this around on you: in 10 years you'll still be having to meditate to access God. Silly logic.

From what I know, 1000ug of LSD.

No it doesn't. This is totally irrelevant. Makes zero difference. Absolute Truth is Absolute Truth even if you are a meth addict jerking off to porn for 8 hours straight. You are conflating various human attainments for Consciousness and Truth. Truth doesn't care at all if you suffer or how you behave. You can behave like a total monster and still be conscious of the Absolute. This moment is God of course. But you're dreaming. The nature of God is infinite dreaming. Play whatever word games you want, but you are not maximally conscious. You could be much more conscious than you currently are. Your lack of consciousness doesn't make you any less God. But it does mean you're disconnected from your highest self.

And yet, that Truth has degrees. Accessing Absolute Truth is pretty easy. Doesn't require much consciousness to achieve that. I don't need to be high to be conscious of Absolute Truth. Doesn't amount to much. If you were maximally conscious you would not be able to type on this forum. So the fact that you're here in human form tells me you ain't got it. You cannot maintain human function at the highest levels. The notion that you are maximally conscious is laughable. That is the astonishing delusion.

It's not a contest at all. It's a matter of awakening as high as you can. Since that's what God wants. If you are not questioning whether you can awaken higher then you ain't serious about Truth/God/Consciousness/Love.

If it didn't you'd already be dead and couldn't ask this question. The only thing keeping you alive is fear of and bias against death.

27 is late. But a few years is not going to stop a career. My brother took a long time to graduate college but he landed a $80k/yr job as an entry level programmer and then it went up to $100k/yr within a few years. Don't worry about a few years difference. Worry about making it count. If you make a solid career it won't matter if you're 26 or 36.

To be a good teacher you fundamentally have to want to teach. Many people aren't interested in teaching. A passion for teaching is not the same thing as a passion for playing. And without passion you cannot be great.
