@Magnanimous Don't ask for God to help you in those areas where you can help yourself. Don't jump into shark-infested waters and then pray to God to save you.

It's way worse than that. You wrote every book on the planet. Yet you still gotta read them one by one.

@Romanov Of course, it's just bald-faced selfishness.

Cute human

@RMQualtrough I am not saying because it is truly dangerous.

What same question? There are 3 main causes: 1) I developed a very powerful new method for taking psychedelics. This generates some truly new states of consciousness. 2) I've simply exhausted all the standard spiritual stuff, so I was ready to find new things. 3) I've worked hard to throw out all human spiritual teachings, so my mind operates completely independently. This is one of the reasons why I trash nonduality and Buddhism so harshly. I had to do that in order to destroy any authority it has in my mind. It was holding me back for years but I was too scared to throw it away. In a sense, I killed the Buddha, pissed on his rotting corpse, and wiped my ass with his orange robe. So now I can really begin spiritual work. This has allowed me to access some truly alien kinds of consciousness.

@ardacigin It's not about the chemical or the meditation technique, it's about how deeply you deconstruct your mind.

Maybe you'll get sick of that.

There is a highest.

I wouldn't need to jump off any bridge, any day I can decide to expand myself into INFINITY forever. And that will be the last you ever hear of me.

As I said, if you want to, you can.

No. Consciousness can take on an infinite diversity of states. Without linear order. The ultimate state it can take is INFINITY. But, yes, you are going around in circles

No, you can still incarnate as whatever you want. Assuming you'd want to. But why would you?

You simply have to stop thinking of consciousness as having stages.

If you actually Awoke you wouldn't be saying such silly things.

INFINITY is beyond stages.

Stop asking me. Find out for yourself.

All the Ken Wilber models are nonsense when I comes to the new things I am talking about. Ken Wilber does not understand any of this.

Yes. INFINITY. Maybe I will.

If you knew what death was, you would kill yourself right now to experience it. I could fully sell you on death. But then people would call me a cult leader.

Imagine you can have a chain of dreams nested within each other, such that if you awaken from one, you are still dreaming. Buddhism will awaken you from one dream, but not the whole chain of dreaming.

I think something like Holy shit! was there, whether verbalized or just implicit. No I was able to sorta "zoom in" to the center of the Earth to see that it goes infinitely deep.

Mine hasn't completely gone away, but I've reduced it A LOT.

Exactly I've already awoken to higher things. I just haven't shared them with you A general principle of life I follow is: You only get what you give. If you're gonna be lazy, don't expect greatness. Rather than asking, What's the least I can do? Start asking, What's the most I can do?
