Sempiternity

The much teased substance is finally here, 5-MEO-MALT. Has anyone ever tried this? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Does anyone have any further knowledge on 5-MEO-MALT that could be useful for any psychonaut? Thoughts on information LEO shared in his video?

Also I think insanity is connected to stability. Right now, reality is stable. What is, right Now, appears tangible, it has a backstory, there is an understanding of what is happening. Nothing is 'happening', just 'me' in 'my room' on a 'computer'. It feels peaceful. Insanity would be no stability to what is being experienced. Consciousness wildly creating, without solidness, without any backstory to be able to understand what is happening. Infinite intelligence, infinite power, creating without any bounds, and no way to understanding what is being experienced. That, to me, is insanity.

I relate to what @vibv is getting at about the many different interpretations of what 'insanity' could be. What Leo says here about "seeing mathematical demons crawling out of the walls" doesn't even seem that insane to me. If One understands that anything being experienced is just you as God creating yourself to be things, then you know literally anything being experienced is just you imaging things. So everything being experienced would be the same, whether it a puppy or a demon. And you would have the understanding that a demon means nothing, as it is imagined. But to me, insanity is when One can't understand itself. Consciousness not knowing what is going on, not knowing what it is, how anything is happening, no frame of reference to what is being experienced. That is terrifying.

"fear is created by the thought, and thoughts could just not come up anymore. Love destroys thoughts" Wow, this is a profound statement.

Personally, I think of voices (and everything for that matter) from a Solipsistic view. Everything being experienced Now in Reality is One thing: Consciousness. Even though it seems like there is separation between things, it is all just One thing. Thoughts/voices are part of the One thing/Consciousness. Reality is then where Consciousness draws its attention to. It can focus on 'feelings', or 'other things'', or 'memories', or 'voices/concepts/ideas'. But all those things are still just one with the whole (what is being experienced Now within Consciousness). You, as Consciousness itself, has a choice in what aspect of itself it draws its attention to. Choose wisely.

Great post. Thank you.

To me it's simple. Like in a dream, everything is Consciousness/Mind. The body, the point of view, thoughts, feelings, the environment, other people, is all one thing: Mind/Consciousness. Consciousness has never experienced anything outside of Consciousness. Consciousness can only exist Now. The Eternal Now. If it's not being experienced Now within Consciousness, it does not exist. So this bubble of Consciousness is all that there is.

Any meaning is self-created. There is no inherent meaning to anything. Image a Being, made of Consciousness. It does not have form, no physicality. It does not exist in "time". It is Infinite, Eternal. It is all that there is, all that there ever will be. It has been alone and will always be alone, for all of eternity. Could this be maddening, to only know yourself, know that you will always be alone, formless, for all eternity? If this Being has the ability to make itself into anything. Maybe it made itself to appear to have form and physicality. Maybe it made itself to appear as though it has a "body" and there are "other things" that are separate from it. Maybe it created a sense of "time", so it can experience the passage of time. Then it made itself forget that it did all this, so it could experience form, and time, and a body, and other, and life, and reality, all unfettered by the knowledge that it created itself to be all this. Made itself lost in the dream. So it can forget it is Nothing, that it is eternally alone.

Every once and awhile I check on this Spirituality forum to see if there is anything of value to read. And I am, and have for a long time, convinced that the only people left on this forum are teenagers. Case in point, this post.

Reality =Consciousness. Everything in Reality is happening within Consciousness. Nothing exits outside of Consciousness. Consciousness can only exist Now. Anything not being experienced in direct experience Now, such as 'other bubbles', is only being experienced Now as a concept/thought.

Film = Consciousness. You're not "observing it, you Are it. Observing insinuates separation. It's one thing, Consciousness. And you're not "in the illusion", you Are the illusion. To be 'in' something means you can be out of it. The illusion is Consciousness dreaming itself to be what is Reality. Consciousness is eternal, One cannot be out of it. Sorry to be knit-picky, but these slight differentiations in words can change the whole meaning of what is being inferred.

Life is perception. If you work on yourself, and master creating yourself, master the stories you tell yourself, so you're viewing the world as beautiful and perfect, the world will be that to you. And you being this in the world, will have ripple effects that you have no idea how far and wide it can impact others. Lead by example. Inspire others to view the world as beautiful and perfect too.

@Javfly33 Hmm..ignorant point of view imo. There are many variables and factors that go into an Awakening. One's readiness to Awaken. The dosage of the substance. One's tolerance. One's ability to Let Go and Surrender to an Awakening. Most, when the feeling of Death is upon you, however you got there, will resist, to continue to exist. Survival at all costs. This is why Awakening is rare. Ultimately whatever the substance or practice to Awaken, it is all an illusion. God will wake up when it wants to. How, is all part of the illusion.

Awesome! I think weed doesn't get the respect it deserves as a tool for Awakening. Now the question is how do you integrate this Awakening to Truth, so it's always present in the Now? Only critique is the above sentence. Thoughts are Truth. Everything in Reality is one thing: Consciousness. If thoughts occur Now, whatever they are, they are Consciousness, therefore it is Truth. What is Now, is Truth.

I personally wouldn't laugh at someone new to the forum asking a standard foundational question in realm of seeking spiritual truth. They could be new on the path, and what they don't need is people laughing at their questions.

Check out Leo's video on 'What is Reality'.

It's made of mind/consciousness, which is nothing. A dream is made of nothing. But it's still something, because here it is. It's nonduality. Something and nothing are the same thing. It's nothing, experiencing something.

The key is to keep dating your partner. Never stop trying to win her favor. Never stop taking each other on dates to fun places. Can prevent things settling into a rut.

That was exactly my first thought. All there is, is what is within consciousness, what is being experienced through direct experience, right Now. If one were to get on a boat and travel around the world, all that would be true would be what Now is being experienced through direct experience, Now. There is no what happened before or where you'll go next, as that is all a mental projection/fantasy, that can only exist Now as a thought.

I'm sure this will be similar to Trump University. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/federal-court-approves-25-million-trump-university-settlement-n845181

Why would Democrats even consider this? As of right now, they are winning, according to pretty much every poll conducted nation wide. And their lead is most likely going to get better every day until the election. If they made a deal with Trump, and let him get away with everything, they'd themselves would look like criminals. This would only hurt their image of 'for the people', with nothing at all to gain. If they just go on as they are, Harris will win by a landslide, and Trump will lose everything, be hamulated, and most likely get convicted of at least one of his crimes and go to prison for the rest of his life, as the final chapter of his life and legacy, having finally the bill of consequences finally come due.

This is a lie. The word "Jesus" is documented fact in every piece of reporting on the subject, and "Jesus" can be heard clear as day.

'Rebuke' means to disagree. She commented on why the cops were backing up when she was picking up the pot of water. The cop said something about worrying she might throw hot water on them. She basically said that she disagrees with that point of view. She just said it in a weird way. The cop took that as a threat and pulled out his gun and shot her in the head.

Well, it's not every day one gets to watch someone murder a little old lady making tea in her kitchen. That was wild. Hope he goes to prison for the rest of his life.

I haven't seen Harris do a speech since she was primarying 4 years ago. I didn't like her back then. She seemed fake. And haven't had any interest in seeing her talk since. But, since she is running for president, I thought I'd listen to her speeches. And to my surprise...I really like her now. She seems genuine, joyous, loving, friendly, easy-going, community oriented. It doesn't seem like she is 'giving a speech', and more just being herself and talking to an audience. Color me completely on-board with her. I'm relieved and happy with the direction this is going.
