  1. This thread is meant to be a concise list of exercises pointing to the truth of enlightenment -- the truth of no-self. All of the exercises listed herein are PRACTICAL! They are NOT philosophical or theoretical. They are not to be debated or pondered intellectually. They are to be actually done! Do each exercise carefully and notice what direct experience reveals. Often times direct experience will reveal something counter-intuitive, something that goes totally against all common-sense and any models you have of how reality works. Feel free to contribute your own exercises to this thread. But do so in a concise and practical manner, so whoever is reading this thread can focus on LOOKING or CONTEMPLATION versus debating or asking theoretical questions. This document is a work-in-progress. I'll keep adding more exercises to the list. Here are some of my favorites so far: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exercise #1: Drawing An Imaginary Line Exercise #2: Noticing Space As Unitive Exercise #3: Noticing That All Phenomena Is Democratic Exercise #4: Noticing Objects Exist Only Where They Are Exercise #5: Sensory Field Connection Exercise #6: Noticing There Are No Objects Exercise #7: Noticing The Self-Image Isn't You Exercise #8: Noticing You Are Not A Point-Camera Exercise #9: Noticing The Gap Between Thoughts Exercise #10: Noticing The Source Of Thoughts Exercise: #11: Noticing That Sound Occurs Exactly Where It Is Exercise #12: Noticing The External World Doesn't Exist Exercise #13: Noticing Other People Do Not Exist Exercise #14: Noticing That Nothing Is Hidden The above exercises are true enlightenment work. This is where the rubber meets the road. Keep practicing all of these exercises diligently, for months, until all your imaginary paradigms of reality break down and you are left only with direct experience. When you start to feel like this silly creature below, you're on the right track: Enjoy
  2. The self-deception is what keeps you from realizing that you are Absolute. You are ignoring yourself.
  3. You don't need to confess anything verbally. Invite him over to your place and start cuddling with him and making out.
  4. It can easily read about God-realization online and probably already has. The problem is that any decent AI will have access the whole of the internet and could paraphrase you anything.
  5. @integral Good work. Thanks for reporting your results. Have her test out plugging vs vaginal at full dose, same dose, and tell us which she prefers. This would be valuable research.
  6. They take me to full God-realization, which is weirder than any realm. Surroundings don't change, they just get wavey and fluid.
  7. A small dent is nowhere near enough. But it can be an entry point to a long slippery slope.
  8. It's not an aribitrary timeline. People in their 20s and 30s are just way too immature and inexperienced for such relationships. Hormones also play an important role. You cannot behave consciously when you are running on hormones like a horny dog. Of course you can find some exceptions.
  9. Just ignore and lead for coffee. "You're the only girl I'll ever approach ;)"
  10. 0.5 grams???
  11. Nope I have done Salvia, but only small dose. Salvia is some crazy shit. Still takes me into nonduality and infinity. Just in a weirder way.
  12. Hoffman is clueless about what consciousness is. His argument is self-deception. You cannot understand what reality is using science. Period. Smart people saying very dumb things that fool the ignorant public.
  13. You would be wise to read it and apply it, rather than be cynical about it. All serious wealth is generated by using the mind. Think about that.
  14. More healthy stage Blue, less unhealthy stage Blue.
  15. Just throw Bayesian reasoning in the trash. People who use it are idiots.
  16. 1) Nothing works for everyone. 2) Psychedelics have a HUGE range of variety in how they affect people. I keep stressing this point and you guys keep underestimating it. Wait till you hear about my weed trip report.
  17. But a football match is something important, unlike your feelings Part of the reason why is because masculinity is defined by confidence and lack of insecurity. So it gets strange-loopy. It takes confidence for a guy to look girly. Yup, it's a complex balancing equation. Lots of trade-offs in both directions.
  18. Suffering is the greatest teacher. Or maybe love
  19. Works for me 100% of the time. Never got any of that shit. Just 100% God-realization. Every psychedelic I've ever tried has put me into an nondual state of some kind and some degree. Tested something like 20-30 of them.
  20. The only one who is conscious is you. You guys are getting lost in dreams of others dreaming. This conscious AI stuff is something you're dreaming up to keep yourself asleep. But hey, have fun dreaming.
  21. So half-crazy when everything is going according to plan, haha
  22. Feminine women are emotional and chaotic. This is not a bad thing per se. It has its pros and cons.
