@Identity Don´t worry, what you "solve" in Self-Help will also count in Spirituality. I remeber I started doing Yoga+Meditaiton+Psychedelics 2 years ago for Spirituality but I had to stop because in the process of becoming a little more consciouss I realized I was full of trauma and neurosis. I stop all spiritual practices (that´s what i thought) to focus on self-help but in the process of self-help all what you are doing in purifying your ego/neurosis which are just a representation of your distance to Truth! Is beatiful how all it interconnects! Enjoy the ride!

How could actually someone be Awakened and be addicted porn? It seems impossible to me. I consider myself that I use porn as an addiction, but just because I spent my 99% of my time in a very low-consciousness state. When I have been "very" consciouss, I can watch my thoughts, my emotions, and feelings that interconnects to actually let me to use porn. In that state i can very easily , or better said, effortlessly, choose the wiser option. That´s what I call intelligence, and not my ego mind I am one of those "believers" that beliefs that once realized the Self / Awakening , the mind starts to purify itself and starts discarding what you decide is not wise to continue. Maybe you won´t become a millionarie, but how couldn´t Awakening solve nearly all of your neurosis? (which is just everything that needs to be solved on Self-Help). However I am referring to be Consciouss all the time , if we are calling Awakening to have had mistical experiences, but we are not realized and we are "remembering" our insights and using them as a belief and not as a present direct experience, then of course self-help won´t be cured, but because i wouldn´t call that an Enlightened person.

Wow, yeah, that looks like an amazing proffessional. Yeah I´ll keep looking.

As far as I´m understand all mental illness should no longer be possible by being in connection / being God / Consciousness. Since all mental illness arise from and within the mind. It´s important to diferenciate between realizing the Self in a mistical experience or during Spritiual practices VS actually embodying Consciousness in daily life 24/7. The latter is no easy achievable and very rare im afraid.

What about when you are heartbroken? Will you still love all of your mind´s projections? I´m not saying that your girlfriend ain´t real. I´m just saying that most of people who jump on Spirituality is because their mind projections have caused them too much suffer to take anymore. Too much even to keep playing "the game". The game comes with rules, one of them one day you can be in heaven, and another you can be in hell. When you are in heaven is easy to get attached to the game, but when you´re in hell you really want to be consciouss that is just a game. I think the best thing in this life is balance.

What set and setting is the best to experience 5-MeO-DMT for the first time? For example, it is very crucial for example tripping during the day instead of night like with classic long-duration psychedelics like LSD or Shrooms?

Yes! I´m starting to grasp it, subtle, very subtle, It´s truly amazing the intelligence of what I AM!

Hi. Do you guys know if it´s usual that people who get Enlightened, usually "beforehand" they go through a time of living in intense mindfulness? Or the basic consensus is that it comes with a "boom" so strong and clear that you never go back to identification with mind/body/thoughts?

What I mean, is, it's THERE OMG

Why submitting to THIS feels scary?

So you are telling me that consciousness is awakening in his experience constantly everytime he loses his memory?

Are mental illness labeled as "low self-esteem" in the modern age, just a result of the mind working in a perspective very far from the Truth? I think so: If I see things as they are, which is just being, then the "mental illness" low self-esteem can´t no longer be maintained. Even before recognising that "superior" or "inferior" might be social labels and not absolutes, I can recognise that the projections/emotions "superior" and "inferior" are happening within being. If i go deeper, i see that they are both literally being! Differences just collapsed totally under the careful observation of the NOW. However there are people who have normal self-esteem. They might haven´t projected "superiority" and "inferiority" labels through their life as much as me. In that sense, the social sense, they are more aligned with Truth than I am and they don´t even know it. They are more automatically consciouss by seeing reality more close to what it is as I have done. Funny isn´t it? Do we all aligne with Truth the more we heal and see things as they are? Or is it more complex than this?

Good for you. Definetely it looks choosing the right psychotherapist is the key. I probably could benefit from going to one but I feel I need to trust the psychotherapist and so far (2 times I've tried) I haven't have found that luck yet.

By knowing you do not need to let go. Allow with an open heart you not letting go. Here's why, If you are not ready to let go, do not force yourself to let go. Rather, when you notice a movement in form or thought of you judging or not letting go, instead of categorising that as "bad", or as "that need to change", see it as what it is. See if you can see that movement (thought, emotion etc) without judging it. You are asking how to stop hating, disliking or critizising, well the first step is actually to not judge this hating, disliking or critizising in the first place. Maybe, just maybe, this hating has the same 'taste' as love. But do not believe me, actually do this anti-judgement practice and see what you discover.

THIS is the same as 'Being' right? Isn't beatiful that even this phrase and the above one are the SAME under the correct observation of THIS? Both happening within THIS, both THIS themselves

@Nahm Good. Straight to the point

For example, this forum separates between those. I totally understand it, however on the other hand i can sense there has to come a point where you have to actually recognise you can´t separate them. What do I accomplish if i separate the Spiritual truths that i discover, with career/work/dating...etc? Is it career/work/dating OUTSIDE the laws of non-duality and fakeness of all identities? Is it really wise to first realize for example that your desires are a way that your ego keeps the illusion alive, and then go rationalize why you should take yourself your career this x seriously or have this materialitic approach to dating, because "things work a certain way"? Are they? Or are we telling ourselves that to keep the illusion alive?

What to do when this type of thought arises? "This is amazing, but, if i let go completely, then how i am going to control my plans for the future, I need to get a job, self-actualize this and that ...etc" If i let go, then fear arises. I want the fear to be gone, so I start believing my "story" again. Maybe i should wait to "mature" my life more before enlightment? It seems I have more or less a good tune with what to do to become effortless, but there´s doubt in this effortless into what to do once I am there (or more precisely, when i´m "nowhere")

Can a high state of consciousness answer the question of why, at least, it seems that existence is localized somewhere? I´ve heard the analogy of Leo saying consciousness is divided into "virtual partitions" like a hard drive. Ok, make sense to me, but two questions regarding this: Is a virtual partition the result of a low state of consciousness? With a high state of consciousness, awareness would become all there is, therefore it wouldn´t be anymore a virtual partition but just One absolute? If the second point is true, could we say that awareness is not being fully itself right now in this experience (because i´m at a low state of consciousness right now) therefore i´m maintaining the "virtual partition"?

If not it can´t be enlightment. Don´t say that "even you become enlightened" your ego might still victim of emotional triggers and similar traps of the mind. Isn´t enlightment actually trascending the traps of the mind? Because today I got emotionally triggered and I realized wow, I´ve been doing this all my life. Creating thought stories. Then I got the opportunity to actually drop them. I could have done it today. Today could have been the end of stories within stories within stories. Ha. I could have just bite the bullet and accept that I projected Everything of what i´ve lived. But i couldn´t. It´s so radical. It implies such a step into absolute loneliness of your decision. Again back into the delusion. It´s really dishearting that in this forum you guys said enlightment doesn´t deconstruct all the stories of the mind. Because if it doesn´t then there is no much difference between this and enlightment.

@universe I agree although the counselor just ask the right questions. He has to be the one who answers.

Funny how this "social anxiety" works, and what proves this "illnesses" are just relative labels and it's CRUCIAL that you do your own instrospective work on your own. I consider myself I would match many of the social anxiety symptoms, however I am totally fine with being in crowd places, but for example I wouldn't go to a counselor (even if I know it could be beneficial to me) because I judge myself if I would go it. See? There's a hint. Maybe for you social anxiety comes from other place, but for me it's all about JUDGEMENT. If I don't judge myself I have 0 social anxiety. Self inquiry about that.

Most of the people end up doing self-inquiry too just a result of any of other practices lol. (I did at least, and I was never interested in doing self-inquiry) You'll also trascend self-inquiry at one point it will become useless after it was useful to get you to the next stage

Make sense, but if you are consciousness, why can't you explain to me why , for example, did you veil yourself to experience a mind? And still this doesn't answer the why of why consciousness right now is veiled under my mind and not yours. Because as far as I'm concerned you are only a concept. I can believe you as a person exist, but I can't never have direct experience of you having consciousness too. I can only attest that consciousness is here. So my question is, why consciousness is here.

That's a dangerous game, isn't it ? It's paradise when the mind creates "beauty" (what you project as good) but it can become hell if the mind creates horrror and suffering. If you engage and enjoy your mind creations you are for a rude awakening. When you trascend the mind there's little difference between a 'positive' thought and a negative one. If you are trapped in duality, well, that's basically it, you are trapped in duality.
