@now is forever omg even survival has dualities haha

I feel like most of us here want enlightenment because subconsciously we want to attain that bliss/peace/no suffering/answers about what reality is, and so when we would attain that we would be so wise and knowledgable and above others, thus being higher on the social scale, which equals better survival. Peace and no suffering is directly correlated with survival, so how to escape these loop? How to know when your seeking enlightenment from a pure heart? Because when you seek enlightenment for the first time, you 100% dont have a pure heart, so how can you get an experience of enlightenment/awakening in a place of selfish reasons? I dont consciously think this, but i know my subconscious mind is.

so even all of my survival mechanisms contribute to this creation? i dont get it

thanks yo

@Nahm but isnt making behbeh's a form of survival? But i can see how making a thing, like a painting can be not survival (if done for fun and not for money or school to pass class)

i was thinking of an example like lets say your super scared of talking in public and you usually stay silent, so you build a survival mechanism of nervousness and sweating so your hyper aware of surroundings and dont talk. But then one day you decide to override that to speak out and even though all of your body is screaming no, you do it anyway. But the result was me speaking out my opinion or whatever, which is a survival mechanism itself. And i decided to be couragous and take the decision to speak which is also a survivals mechanism. Didnt think about it like that, damn this runs deep and is twisty haha

@Shadowraix like doing something you always avoided and have no reason to do but you do it anyway, but i guess thats the pretty close to the definition of struggle

i love the mirror analogy!

@Rilles yeah i thought about that, so its like giving up survival as a way to survive..PaRadox! @Shadowraix so its like layers of survival mechanisms?

thanks guys, im overthinking it

look up Dr. nicole lapera aka "the holistic psychologist" this is basically her line of work. You cant use your rational mind to fix things that are not rational. The only way to fix problems that arise form non rational areas (emotions, etc) is through strength-ning areas of your brain that regulate non rational stuff. And guess whats the only way to strenghten that? meditation! psychedelics! Journaling your emotions! they all work on the medial prefrontal cortex of your brain which is basically the brain that controls how your emotional self will respond to triggers, etc. Long story short, raising your consciousness will help immensly. Throwing everything at a psychologist is rarely gonna get to the root cause. Theyll help you see whats wrong, and bring out the emotions, but they cant fix it for you. And they ask a very $$$$ price for bringing out your emotions. When going to therapy to fix the root cause, youll need at least a year of consistent therapy. Sometimes several years. If you want to fix something surface level (like symptoms) then it will take only a few visits.

after your two lsd trips, how is your relationship with the adhd, like has it improveda lot?

$$$$$$$$

Because you don't trust yourself. Then when you stop trusting yourself you think ehh whats the point or i can put it off an hour, a day, a week, etc. To start having good discipline literally re-parent yourself. See your self as a parent teaching a child to have good discipline. Show up, even when you dont feel like it. Your mind will always not feel like it, you just have to push through. Set boundaries

i got the worst migraines from Lions Mane, and they come so fast, like 30 minutes after i consume them

accordinf to peter ralston, many people get questioning wrong, its not where you just search for a direct answer, thats just searching for data. True questioning is where you wonder about how something works and the answer is not just an immediate "ok got it", its an understanding of how the thing your asking about works. So yeah, its the pretty much the same

Is this what it feel likes in no Self mode? Its very inspirational, lots of Zen references

In the last video it was said that if you want to prove the accuracy of the point of life, you need direct experience, to prove it yourself., and in order to do that to live your life as if your God, as a creator, and then see for yourself if that improves your life dramatically. What entails to live life as a creator/godlike? How? I feel like this concept that delude people really easily thinking how cool they are living so godly, like an ego boost or something

nevermind i just got to the point in the vid where the Hows are lol @tedens working on the delusions and beliefs. SHould of starting with that honestly, it seems the most game-changing stuff @Drake140 i kinda see what your saying..

thanks for not increasing the price woohoo

from what ive understood is that kriya speeds up your spiritual progress like 10 fold compared to meditation, and so all the stuff your repressing will come up real fast (which can be seen as bad things popping up), and its up to you to resolve them, which if your already into spirituality and doing the whole kriya sha-bang you probably will. Maybe during the kriya initiation where the teacher gives you a blessing, they make it easier for the bad things to go away, since theyre at a higher vibration.

I keep reading about this more about how people biggest regrets is not being present. I become more aware of the dangers and consequences of not being in the now. Human brains are wired to be in the present moment just like all living creatures (theyre not consioucly present i guess, but they just are). I intellectually and emotionally know that past and future bring only disorder and discomfort. When i am present, i feel safe, harmonized, peaceful. I am aware of my body, sensations, and sounds. When i get a thought usually looping something that happened in the past or a possible future event (or sometimes just fantasizing like superhero stuff) i feel off balance. I get stressed, excited, agitated, anxious, and i get this "high" (especially superhero fantasies). But i also get physiological effects, like heart speeding up, maybe getting sweaty, dizzy or even shaky. If my rational mind knows this brings no benefit and only dis-balances me and i emotionally feel how bad these feel why do i go there? Like how does the past and future manage to tempt and persuade the "i amness" to take a leap into time? And why is it so hard to be present throughout the day, not talking about meditation. Meditation after a while gets easier and you get the jist of it, but the true challenge is living out this meditation. Baby steps?
