Every young person must watch how FB and insta manipulates you, by knowing your basic needs: connecting to others.

@Spiritual Warrior we can use it, but you have to be smart about it.

@Davino @Yimpa I don’t have anything against other people taking psychedelics. Have fun if you want. I don’t judge. I don’t even care to judge, everything has a place to be, reality unfolds infinitely but this is a dream. You misunderstood my post. I said there is no one in reality to alter their mental state. YOU DONT EXIST! I am going to make a big post about last step realization. You as an entity don’t exist on the level you think you do. You don’t exist on any level. Not as a God, not as a human being. Leo has already given a hint (his post below), but people don’t want to see or listen, they just follow the spiritual crowd who claimed to reach enlightenment through some sort of substance of any kind. Really? Seriously? 😂 Image a cartoon character who tries to escape the tv screen. So he thinks he can have any break through by exiting reality and jumping out from the tv screen. He takes psychedelic for this. But the trick is…… He is a bunch of pixels on a screen (emerging phenomena: five senses “makes” you a human being). Human is illusion. Enlightenment is the greatest illusion. There is no one here to get enlightened. Do you realize it? Do you think by taking a drug you can alter reality and become your true nature! Really? You are NOT real in the first place. You don’t exist. This is a dream, my friends, wake up. Please wake up! There is no way out nor way in. No matter what you take, how long you meditate. You won’t reach enlightenment. You are a fiction, a figment of the imagination, call it consciousness. There is no consciousness as well. Words, bunch of words. None of the words ever describe reality. Enlightenment only happens when this “blind spot” sees itself for what it is. It is a fluke luck. Awareness becomes aware of itself. I don’t know what else to say, all words are not the truth just the pointers. Good pointer: a twister. 🌪️ Human is a twister. It is not real. There is void inside and a lot of emergent phenomenon circling around the focal point. This self “you are experiencing” doesn’t exist but only arises ( the greatest illusion of all) only because of the thinking process and feelings/perceptions that create this feeling of some sort of a human being. So yeah, go ahead and take a psychedelic: but remember anything you do, there is still You/I/Me in this equation.

But coffee doesn’t change conscious level as much as alcohol, or drugs or psychedelics. Not as drastically at least. Do you agree?

There is none here who needs to alter his consciousness with drugs. If you don’t see it, you will be stuck in a mind’s paradigm. no drug needed for realization.

Yeah I was talking sboht HIIT 30 min plus strength training with weights during 25 min. (1h total) not for body mass or anything crazy like this, but for a muscle tone. Another important thing to remember is never skipping a day for meditation, otherwise you will have to start over again, it is important to gain momentum…. Nice advice. Thank you! Never heard about triphala and neem! I am not sure if Europeans have heard of these neem leaves ….

@Davino Yesterday I was meditating for one hour. Mind became completely blank with a razor sharp awareness. But what I saw in that state was beyond my comprehension. I was falling into fractals too. Like an infinite regression, also I have noticed various dark green circles. They were sucking my awareness into a black whole. The problem is I could only “fall” for 1h, body is not trained to sit that long, I have various sensations that throw me out from the meditative state. My goal is to train my body three times a week in a gym so it could be very enduring. Plus food, I am going to eat less meat of any kind. No alcohol, no sugar, no coffee. Thank you. P.S. I don’t take any substances. I tried golden mushrooms two times but I like it without anything, clean clear awareness.

@Yimpa thanks 🙏

Waking up in the morning, memory “crumbs” are in your head: events, people, situations. Yesterday’s gone and is not even real. Yesterday has never happened, and you are creating it right at this second. You think time exists. No! It gently drowns in YOU, drop by drop. You are the Time yourself, just do not realize it, yet! Balancing on the brink of an abyss between Absolute and relative. You choose whether to play a human character or drop it, and just be in silence. Gentle presence envelops your being, coming from the inside; it radiates and permeates the whole space you are in. NOW! Tiny golden specks of dust are spinning around, reflecting and blazing the light of the fiery sunrise. White feather wings that grew behind your back have disappeared. Last spring and bird’s singing, when you were in love, are echoing in your mind as a sweet melody. Flashbacks again. Fatigue or maybe a melancholy are set as a tender background. Egocentric mind is pulling you in, craving for the human’s drama. And as you walk near the abyss, step by step, you are losing the balance. Illusion will suck you in like a twister, but you won’t ever notice. Resting as awareness, at the same time, every move you make is creating a human. Passionate human being who is fighting for the right to be, fighting with its shadow. You do not want to die, by dissolving in this soft ecstasy. You are choosing suffering over a peace, continuing this silly laughable game, which you call “Life”. Holding on so strong. Let go, my friend! Just let go. You are not in control, nor ever been. This race is going to wear you off, age you. And one day you’ll die to this Being, this is going to be your great reset, your start to a new infinite Beginning. Let go...

@AerisVahnEphelia same to you ❤️🧘🙏

@AmandaPanda you are so welcome 💫🥰.

@Someone here I know this feeling…. I understand you. 😞

Found this piece of music by Carlos Gardel (1935). It is so amazing how sensual, dramatic and touchy a sound can be. You image love, man and woman and their personal drama. Nothing can express feelings better than sound. There is a whole pallet of emotions in this beautiful masterpiece. "Gardel is the most famous popular tango singer of all time and is recognized throughout the world. He was known for his rich voice and dramatic phrasing. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos. He was one of the most influential interpreters of world popular music in the first half of the 20th century."

Contemplation is a wonderful method. Absolutely 100% Leo is correct.

@Rishabh R Then it is not a true insight, it is your conceptual thinking. It is like a puzzle and when you integrate it, everything comes to the places it should be, it is re-contextualizes you as a Being. Do you understand? do you remember this toy? Transformer? This is how real insight feels like. Comparatively speaking, you were a truck and have become a robot. Do you see the difference, you can not believe in it, you see it, it is very obvious right now. Hope it helps...

@Rishabh R Something which is obvious does not need a faith.

@Rishabh R Believing implies FAITH, knowing is a realization.

@Rishabh R wow, nice wonderful....some of them look like insights to me. Please remember that an insight becomes the insight at the moment when you do not need to validate it anymore, it is an inner knowing.

@Rishabh R only you can know. I can not say this, it depends on the nature of the subject. Share some, maybe, here....

@Rishabh R @Rishabh R That is right, some come intuitively ( as you said they hit you out of nowhere), these are real insights, another (250) are just a conceptual thinking. Pay attention to those that come spontaneously.

@Rishabh R I wrote this yesterday in another thread:

@Yimpa LMAO.

@Rishabh R We can say that awakening is the most profound insight of your life, on a bigger scale. It trumps all the little insights. What is insight? It is authentic experience beyond any belief which is self-validating. It is something personally encountered and understood. With the insight you have this intrinsic knowledge that the subject matter of your query is true and authentic. Same can be applied to awakening since it is a direct experience and the validity of the realization lies inherent in the thing realized. P.S. Pointer-------> Words only point to created concepts, to themselves!

TWO SHADES OF ONE ENIGMATIC EXPERIENCE Memories like piano’s key slowly come from far away. How could you ever try if it’s even possible to explain your feelings?! Always imprisoned and always lonely, one on one with emotional palette. And as your lips touch a rim of your coffee cup, emotions have already awoken, burning slowly in the soul’s furnace. Mental images, facial expressions, fragments of phrases recently said by the loved ones, are revolving in your head. Writing about feelings and emotions is challenging, as these are so delicate, subtle, and ever changing. How does it feel to carry something special in your heart for decades, wake up one morning and… realize that it will become real in a matter of hours? What kind of life mystery stands behind this event? Meeting your true Self that was thoroughly hidden in the “closet” of your soul for years. Anticipation is not even the correct word to describe everything that was resurrected in your soul within hours prior to this Enigma. This feeling is saturated with deep, indescribable, yet hard to comprehend need that is lying deeply, under thousands of vails of the your conscious mind. Something enclosed inside is breaking loose, building up the tension, like a snowball that is rolling down in the backyard of your psyche, getting bigger and bigger. This “something” has been patiently waiting and treated above and beyond all the manners and expectations. How blindfolded do you have to be to create the land of illusion and color it with all possible shades of “your” imagination? Thus, this illusion became so powerful and overwhelming that manipulates its own Creator. Admit the failure of your own will power; you are not in control, nor have ever been. Turned into romantic prisoner of your desires, you are waiting for something you cannot completely obliterate from the thoughts. Maybe some childish call within your core nature leads you to this meeting, something very dear to your heart. And the very fact of pampering this need empowered you through years, by giving you more strength and faith into rosy, yet always escaping future. You’re trying to analyze it with logic and every time you approach it a bit closer, it’s gone even further. “Your” reality is shrinking from years, days, months into hours, minutes, and seconds. You have a couple more moments for a sweet fatigue before the curtain will be lifted. One side of “yours” is frightened; it would rather be living in the cage of unknown, than be given away forever, breaking up this illusion like a mirror. But at the same time something subtle, delicate, and so precious gives you a complete confidence in this never-ending Infinite Fantasy (Maya).

@Thought Art thank you for a beautiful post. I agree people don't ever explore the nature of the insight.
