electroBeam

Strange loops can be realized. Strange loops are paradoxes. Is there something wrong here? Is strange loop a projection and not a feature of reality?

You can definitely self inquire - no need for a psychic. Just need to believe in yourself, trust yourself and listen to the feelings you get, even if they are scary, confusing or not totally convincing at the start. When you listen to the feelings enough, you will get there.

All bow for electroBeam, the almighty, supreme enlightened sage, master of metaphysical insights and mystical experiences.

I've never watched JP before, but could imagine what he would be like considering he's an academic, and found it ridiculously hilarious thanks!!

hahahahahahahahaahha just tried it

I've got this pet idea for a video game. I'm gonna make a 3D world, and using some maths magic, get it to generate very cool, awesome patterns in the 3D world. The game will be about trying to discover what those patterns mean, and use those meanings to get through the game. One pattern might be anti-gravity. where objects are actually expanding from each other, and its not totally obvious in the game through inspection that its happening, you have to investigate it a bit. Another pattern might be walls waving in a fibonacci sequence. And a theorem is connecting the fibonacci sequence wall waving pattern with the anti-gravity pattern. And when people 'discover' a theorem that governs the wavy walls and anti gravity patterns, they can use that to finish the game. And the cool part will be, everyone in the game will think that I preprogrammed that theorem they discovered... but I didn't. They completely made that theorem up. And they could have made 100 different theorems to satisfy the same patterns occuring in this imaginary game. And you could imagine the creativity such a game will generate by its users. Minecraft 2.0 It will be a mirror of the scientific paradigm.

@m0hsen you got it! Thanks!

Hey! Been searching the forum for a while. Someone mentioned a practice about HPV or something like that. A technique to significantly slow down ya heartbeat. What practice is that? Thanks!

forget the labels, have the courage and balls to follow your bliss!

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha get ready to be eaten by a haunted t-rex

hahahaha sounds like exactly what the ego needs. Fuck it, might as well try it at least once. I was think more of buying the leaves and eating them or something. Like if you take this work seriously, and really want to be fucken enlightened. You've gotta be enlightened not just sitting down in a quiet room, not just in a shopping centre, not just in the middle east, just just while going to jail, not just being crucified, but also in an enlightened state on salvia

whats a safe dose, apart from 0? 2x?

all of you guys are asking questions that you would best get by asking yourself through contemplation. Why muddy up the waters by getting the answer through an external other? An other with biases, unknown psychic potential, and unknown awakeness?

Don't know why, but that made me laugh way too much. There's something really funny with the ego playing games, and thinking its being real when it isnt.

This post is a little nudge, a tiny encouragement, to explore and be open to a life where you've got Absolutely no stakes in it. A life where you aren't invested in your ideals, your career, your relationship theories, or anything really. You're just an empty vessel, observing and basking in reality. Its a life where, reality just flows absolutely effortlessly. Peace comes effortlessly, Joy comes effortlessly, Love comes effortlessly. Its a life where, what people say, do, think or feel about you, does not bring suffering. Including your boss, your loved one and your favourite spiritual teacher. Its a life where, you don't need to think to get things done. It gets done on its own, and all that happens on your end is watching, observing, enjoying, wondering and appreciating. All of life, from the neighbour next door, to planets in different solar systems, all integrate and flow together, to form the reality you're experiencing. But there's a cost to a life like this. Its a cost that is seemingly big. The cost is: surrendering all of your agendas in life. That means, surrendering your agendas for your career. Surrendering your agendas for your relationships... and most importantly, surrendering your spiritual agenda. What's become very apparent to me, is this magical ability for people to know lots about reality: they may have experienced absolute infinity, lots of Joy, lots of Bliss, lots of Love. They may have seen DMT worlds that are beyond comprehension, even for a respected mystical teacher. Yet, just because they know so much, doesn't mean they've fully embodied and live by the experiences that they've seen. Embodiment is a whole new level of understanding the absolute. You could have a million glimpses, yet would still be infinitely far away from the Truth, if embodiment does not occur. And this is because, its possible to have a full fledged ego, while experiencing deeply radical, deep, highly truthul and profound mystical experiences. This ego is called a spiritual ego, and its prevalent in places that you would never ever expect: Within Sadhguru, Ken Wilber, Mooji, and a whole host of other teachers. That's not to say these teachers are frauds, they certainly aren't. They are deeply wise, courageous and profound people. But they still have egos. And they are not 100% awaken. To truly live a life, full of joy, love and bliss, you need more than mystical experiences. You need more than just experiencing Absolute Infinity, Absolute Love, Absolute Bliss. You even need more than to know these insights and mystical awareness. What you need, and this is the hardest darn thing, is to surrender the ego. Completely. This ultimately means, surrendering your agendas, and to have faith and trust in reality, that if you let go of ALL control, nothing bad will happen. Its really hard to do, because your ego is your life. Its your pride and joy, your most beloved toy. It's given you mystical experiences. Its given you the drive to watch and read all the spiritual teachers that you've read about, and apply their teachings. It might have given you a good relationship, maybe a good career. And now, some weirdo electroBeam, is telling you to drop that thing! And replace it with... Nothing? What if I told you, if you dropped that ego, the world wont cave in, but instead the world will be the exact same as it was before. No you wont stop going to work without the ego, no you wont stop caring for your children and family without it, no you wont stop being nice in your relationships. No you wont turn into a criminal. And no, you won't turn into a vegetable and meditate 24/7. You will be doing the exact same thing you were doing without the ego. The only difference? Doing it with absolute acceptance, love and devotion. And you wont even be doing it, reality will just be playing, and there will just be a watching. And things will be seen, beautiful things, which you didn't see before, because you were too busy being the one that 'does' rather than the entire thing observing what's happening. What are agendas? - plans for the future - how you're gonna convince your boss of a payrise - excuses you're gonna come up with to cover up a white lie you told. - moral justifications for actions in the future - how you're gonna get as enlightened as Leo - how you're gonna experience absolute infinity - what meditation techniques you should do - what spiritual teachers you should listen to and the list goes on and on. Agendas are what you're gonna 'do'. And why you're doing them. electroBeam could be wrong, and you must not believe anything anyone says. But I wonder what would happen if instead of doing things, you decided to do nothing? Absolutely nothing? Are you willing to try and see? Its quite an interesting experiment. Will you turn into a criminal, will you somehow spontaneously do what you were already doing? Or will you spontaneously start doing things better than what you did before? Or will you discover something even more profound. As this is being written, I have no idea what I'm gonna type next. The universe as a whole is creating ever single experience, including typing this message. I have no idea why I'm writing this, who I'm writing this to, and what I'm gonna do next. When I write the word "I", I feel nothing, because there is no investment in the I anymore. Writing I, you, electroBeam, Leo, all the same. And there is no investment in this message. No criticism, complaints, judgements or feelings towards this message will be taken, because I'm as invested in this message, as any other message written in this thread. The writing of this message is literally pure love, not because I'm doing it. Not because I love you. But because the doing of this message is Love itself. Its a very counter intuitive move, to drop all agendas. And the result is just as counter intuitive.

exactly! Yes! The ego really does just get in the way!

No that's not contemplation! Contemplation is asking a question, and doing concentration awareness on the answer Lots and lots of fucken concentration and focus on the answer. In other words, deconstruction.

Its not crystal clear that the lamp is God, because there is no lamp

Exactly!

What would be a really awesome video I would like to see you do is a "dangers of psychedelics" just like your dangers of meditation video but for psychedelics. No one has done such a video before, and you talk lots about how amazing psychedelics are, but never the dangers or mistakes.

Whose the one seeking the 5-meo-dmt?

@pluto wow that's epic!

You guys just need to do the practices and stop worrying about what Leo thinks, or what anyone thinks on this forum. Your direct experience > opionions of others.

@Nahm understand, but there's a strong sense that 'doing' practices enforces self referential thinking. Whose doing the practices? Whose experiencing the mystical experiences? Whose the one 'becoming' God? Very sneaky way of clinging onto self referential thinking. Trusting that the practices will occur spontaneously(if they are necessary), without the ego needing to 'do' them is scary. The ego doesn't like that. The ego is afraid that it will get lazy, get tamasic, etc. But it has to be let go of eventually. Keeping the illusion of 'I'm having the mystical experiences', 'I'm present', 'my mind is clear', is the thing causing the suffering. So there's no choice. But there's a feeling the practices will get done, because is the ego really in control?
