How is it possible that someone takes 10 grams of mushroom in front of me and can see reality change, yet for me reality stays the same? Are we all inhabiting different realities? How can i; see thoughts? Yet someone else can not see my thoughts? Are we all inhabiting...different subjective realities? Can anyone clear this up for me? Thaaaaaanks bros and sistas

It depends on what you want to ”achieve” but interchangeably 1.Meditation (Open Monitoring) 2.Self Inquiry (3.I’ve started to dabble in Contemplation and I’ve found very good for having insights, might want to look into that)

Enough with the victim thinking and finger pointing! You have an entire internet of resources! Fix your problems or dont.

@MM1988 Watch this video (again if you already have)

Youre looking for a relief from loneliness, not a genuine relationship, youll be dragging your dead rat of issues into whatever relationship you go into, when you start arguing with your girlfriend youll see all your neurosis come up, Im speaking from direct experience. Yes a relationship is rainbows and butterflies but when those rainbows arent there, then what? Fix your depression at the root first.

Feel like progress? A progress towards what? Would you marry this woman then? How long before you became lonely with someone? What is it that you really want? Contemplate that, ego always wants a quick fix, but thats a quick fix not a long term solution.

You have to start deconstructing all of this. Your mind is labeling you as something ”bad”, stop doing that. Who decided that you ”failed” with the opposite sex? Can you be happy despite your so called ”failures”? If you somehow achieved this opposite sex goal would you be forever happy after that? IE Become conscious of what is really going on. Heroin is the most unconcious a person can get, until they die from it. It wont relieve any suffering it will increase suffering 100x.

Where is your suffering occuring? Find it, is it in the mind? The body? Im not playing around! Find it and see what it is!

That will take us down the path of an infinite regress, whats an atom made of? particles, whats a particle made of? and on we go... the question is what do all these ”materials” have in common.

But then what are eggs made of? Whats an egg when you remove the label of ”egg”? Im genuinely curious, not a trick question.

@Outer Is that baby cow saying ”Mu?”

You cant pump blood through your body. Yet you believe you are the body.

There is nothing to drop?

I have the same conundrum... somebody answer us!

@Rinne Your ass and the chair become one in Samadhi.

You dont know the answer. Start questioning and be honest with yourself that you dont know shit! Then youll become more curious.

So how do we know which reality is true? Is a flies reality less true than mine? A fly certainly has a different reality than mine. Does this mean that the mind creates reality? Because if I take a substance that changes reality it must be because it effects my mind? ??

Can you dream of an egg? Where does the egg come from when youre dreaming? From the brain? Well then then the brain can create whatever it wants obviously? Why cant it create reality out of thin air? Not saying any of this is true. Just proposing an argument.

And of course, youre the sane one arent you? How lucky you are!

The lunaaatic is on the graaaasssss Why did the chicken cross the road? There is no road, you are already enlightened said the Neo-Vedanta teacher.

MY BRIAN HURTS! ok im out hope you find truth and joy wherever it takes you ??bye my dear brain

@Mikael89 Haha, all i have to offer is a garden gnome in a meditation posture, hope thats not too evil. Im not asking you to look at what the brain is from someone elses perspective, you have your own brain, use it to figure out what the brain is.
