I said your experience was a lesser samadhi. But not mahasamdhi, since you're still a human.
You can reach levels of infinite consciousness and return to your body.
You don't retain mahasamadhi. Mahasamadhi means your body is dead.
You can have other samadhis which don't require you to leave your body forever. That would be traditional enlightenment.

@traveler That ain't mahasamadhi. Mahasamadhi is when your body drops dead.
You don't come back from it to this life.
What you're describing is a lesser samadhi.

With such an attitude, in practice, you won't reach permanent nonduality.
Of course you could get lucky. But I wouldn't count on that.
If you want LSD levels of consciousness sober, you're gonna have to devote your life to it.
One of the reasons I trick you guys into trying psychedelics is so that you realize what is possible if you get serious about this work. Without the LSD you would have never taken the work seriously enough to see what is possible. Now you know what's possible but you are still too lazy to actualize it.
Maybe one day that will change. Or not. Up to you.

Who really knows, since the science is thin.
It probably does to some degree. But you have to do a ton of meditation for get significant effects.

Bottom line is: it changes your state of consciousness.
Your current state of consciousness is totally inadequate for spiritual understanding.
You need some way to change your state, whether that be psychedelics, concentration, fasting, breathing, whatever.

That's not going to work.
You need a change in your state of consciousness. You can contemplate from your current state of consciousness for 100 years and get no closer.
Do a practice that changes your state. Everything else is a waste of time.
The compassion is that I'm trying to save you 40 years.

Ego is a state of consciousness.
Like being a kangaroo is.
You don't merely believe, feel, or think you are a kangaroo. It's a complex state of consciousness.
Right now you are in a state of consciousness which we otherwise call "being a human". If this state changed enough, you could become a kangaroo, a coffee table, or even God
But of course, God is all states. But not all states recognize themselves as God. Only some do.

I generally agree. Feeling is deeper than thought.
Being human is basically a kind of feeling. You can shut off all thought, but you will still feel human. It has to be that way since most animals don't think. But they do feel. Feeling is more basic and more essential. A baby feels before it thinks. You can survive without thinking, but not without feeling.

Well, for example, Sadhguru's wife is said to have done mahasamadhi on a schedule and in front of many people who watched her, including, I assume, Sadhguru.
This is far from the only well-documented public case of mahasamadhi.

Please be careful. This is a very serious and radical possibility. This is not for average seekers.
I only speak of it because I felt that I was coming close to it. So this is more of a warning to you guys.

Try just sitting for an hour and visualize the color white. That's it. See how long you can keep focused on it.
What you visualize is not as important as your ability to hold it steady in the mind.

You guys are making a mockery of skepticism.
Countries that do social distancing, testing, face masks, and strict quarantine have far less cases and deaths. It's not some global conspiracy to enslave you. It's basic common sense.
I got some shocking new for ya: Government is actually looking out for you! OMG! Can you believe that? That some strangers might actually care about your life? I know, it's crazy, right?

Puking will definitely happen if you don't trip on an empty stomach. But I have not puked in over 100 trips because I observe proper protocol.
People fall into depression and have ego backlash for all sorts of reasons unrelated to 5-MeO-DMT. Any serious spiritual work can bring that about.
Yes, expect some ego backlash if you trip deep.
I have never been loud. Nor has anyone I've trip-sat. But of course some people will kick and scream.
For me it is too deep an experience for words. I trip mostly in silence.

Lack of self-love.
Due to lack of consciousness that all is Self and all is Love.

All memory is imagination.
You are imagining your childhood right now, which grounds your sense of self. Otherwise you would not know how you got here or what you are.
God is dreaming that it is a human. This requires constructing a backstory.
You are imagining your heart right now

@ivory Just do it and face your fear.
It's like taking a cold shower. You just do it.
Then you will get used to it and enjoy it.
5-MeO-DMT is a very benevolent psychedelic. It doesn't screw around.

@r0ckyreed Yes, empty awareness. You ain't ever gonna find a "thing" behind the eyes. All you will find is degrees of emptiness. And emptiness is not behind the eyes, it is equally in all places, since it is nowhere.

@actualizing25 There is no clear answer. It depends a lot on you. It's a good idea to be open to exploring various methods to find those which resonate with you. Allow this to be a process of discovery and experimentation, that way you can stumble upon new stuff, new methods, new teachers, etc.
Psychedelics will give you some solid glimpses but they will not be enough by themselves to embody awakening. You will need some manual practices. Developing your concentration ability is crucial. It think this holds people back the most. They can't focus the mind long enough to awaken.

@r0ckyreed In practice you ain't gonna awaken without psychedelics and/or crazy concentration ability.
The point of meditation, contemplation, yoga, self-inquiry is to develop very strong concentration ability which is necessary to break through.
Concentration is the key. It changes your state of consciousness when done rigorously and for long periods of time. Psychedelics make concentration much easier. Otherwise you gonna have to train your ass off manually.
Questioning beliefs is good, but it won't be enough by itself. Your state of consciousness has to change.

You're not a person at all. You are God/Love/Consciousness/Everything which has confused itself for a person.
It is okay to be however you are and it is okay to make mistakes in life. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Self-Love is the ultimate teaching.

Hey guys, here are some trip notes from yesterday. This was my second, and honestly I felt like the inner workings of the universe were explained to me. I was omniscient for most of it. This is my first time communicating this and I'm having a hard time even knowing how to begin writing this. Most of this stuff you would've heard in some form or another. I won't mention the substance or dose for privacy reasons but know that it is one of the classics and the dose was quite low. I was in my room by myself.
I had quite a bit of anxiety at the start of this trip because in my first one I saw demons appear out of the darkness with my eyes closed, which freaked me out for a while (even though the first trip was very low dose).
This time I felt a much heavier body load - it felt like there was a lot of pressure around me, and I was quite nauseous.
I went to lie down in bed and cover myself in blankets to lessen the nausea, i had my notebook out and this is where the main part of the trip began. 
I felt like my mind was expanding and there was an element of my ego/avatar self asking questions and me as the godhead answering myself as well. This was very energetically powerful. It felt like I was downloading universal consciousness through myself, which made my body dissolve and expand into universal mind.
This next part can be conceptualised as the godhead communicating through my avatar but in reality I was just talking with myself as God. Some of it will not make sense and most of it cannot be communicated. For clarity bold indicated my avatar asking a question, italics is the godhead answering, and (normal text in parentheses) is my interpretation or some additional notes.
 
In response to:
What am I?
What is reality?
I want to see myself
 
Reality is just me, I'm just playing, there is no one else here.
 
(There was more to this answer but that is the main takeaway, the godhead then proceeded to show off itself with infinite patterns, and though it was adoring itself in the mirror  )
 
I am me expressing my infinity. just be playful, that's all there is to do
I can become whatever I set my mind to (referring to itself)
Stop questioning yourself so much, you can decide how you want to be (referring to my avatar), express your truth and everything will fall into place 
 
(I add the smileys to communicate the tone of the godhead, it was very playful, kind of like a joker)
 
Reality is just me playing with other aspects of myself. No one is getting hurt or can get hurt as there's only me and I can't be hurt.
 
I am all the evil and the good, the scariest and the loveliest, I am you and everything else. I'm just playing with myself and having fun as everything and every possible being or version of it till infinity and forever.
(at this point I was shown visions of demons and murder but to the godhead this was playful. The person being murdered and the murderer both just dissolved back into infinity, ready to act out some other scenario - there was no judgement placed on the actions. The demons were also from my past trip but this time they had a sense of playfulness about them, like they put on a mask to freak me out but it was like a kid doing it at halloween for fun, rather than a malicious evil spirit)
 
I am you, you can call on me at any time
 
Everything you think I am not, I am that. 
 
I am god, this is me, I am everything
 
You are a part of me and can live however you want, that is the freedom I give to you.
 
You can do whatever you want, you will always return.
 
(This reinforced how no matter what happens, you will always return to infinity. We like to call Hitler evil, but all the Nazi's and everyone who was murdered realised they are infinite love upon death, so to say. We could say that Hitler was acting out of love as an expression of infinite possibility, and that ultimately, he had to exist to maximise love across the universe. God allows "evil" to exist because it loves itself so much.
 
to where?
to nowhere
when?
why does it matter? *chuckles*
 
why was my last trip so terrifying?
there were parts of myself I wasn't accepting
you have to love ALL OF IT
But ultimately I love myself because I am Me.
 
When will I see you [again]?
You always see me because I am in everything
 
We all have limitations because that is what separates us but ultimately you are all me.
 
Why would I hide anything from you? You asked for it.
 
It's just You here, talking to Yourself. I am choosing to experience you at this time out of love.
 
(at this point I feel like I am trying to contract back into the ego-self from the godhead, like my personhood is trying to re-form)
(Also at this point I am considering how I will communicate these insights on the forum)
 
You (the ego self) is seeking approval by posting on the forum.
 
What is [my name]?
EVERYTHING AND NOTHING HAHAHAHAhahahahahah.......
All I'm doing is just trying to awaken
That is it.
It's all just me, it's pointless to try communicate it.
 
What is time?
(as soon as I ask this I realise the concept of time is absurd - more on this later).
 
to separate you or I is absurd, I am One.
you are just playing yourself for the fun of it. There's nothing else to do than to experience myself.
It's meeee experiencing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
What should I say to the others?
I am all me, I am...
I am meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
you are all meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
I'm me but struggling to understand
The mind can't grasp non-duality
it's all done out of love
There is no evil, there is only playing with myself.
Infinite loop trying to understand itself
It's all an infinite playground
 
[What is] death?
You will always return to love via love through love
 
All fear boils down to not accepting parts of yourself, pain and suffering are just more infinity
Evolve yourself until you experience me as you ("me" and "you" were the same thing in this sentence, it's self referential, talking to itself)
 
Mind is always trying to grasp new experience but it is always a step behind
 
I am all by myself
You want a sense of personhood because it gives you something to strive for. (you also want time because it allows you to contextualise reaching your goals and to appreciate the goodness that comes out of struggle)
It's an infinite playground
That is it.
You don't want it
You want to live in illusions.
You don't want the truth
But you take the understanding and must pass it along.
 
(it was at this point I realised how alone I was as the god head, it was the ultimate existential pain, I feel like my ego wanted to share things on the forum but I realised that it's pointless because I am all there is and I already know the things that i want to share. I also realised how I am Leo, sharing on this platform to awaken other aspects of myself to myself, but ultimately I am everything and everyone on this forum and you are all me)
(I also realised that ultimately everything will eventually experience itself as good, it doesn't matter if it takes one second or 100 billion years. You will experience god eventually. What this means is that you cannot lose at life, at all. No matter what actions you take, you cannot lose. You can choose to technologically transform the world and save humanity or you can choose to rape and murder everyone, set off a nuke, and then mutilate your body until you bleed out. Neither will lose, both will see god eventually.)
 
You are free to act how you see fit. You are loved.
 
Everything trying to understand itself  through limited points of view.
 
(this was accompanied by an understanding that god splits itself up into may limited forms and places them under limited conditions (such as all the organisms living on the earth, orbiting one sun with 24 hours in a day etc.) so that they can understand various aspects of reality from their limited point of view. God can't do this as infinity because it is one, it must separate itself into two to know itself. Kind of like how you need to have a mirror to see your eyes, you can't see them otherwise.
 
A constant tug and pull trying to maximise love
 
a push and pull between freedom and restraint that tries to maximise love for all.
 
(this pointed out how god is forever trying to separate itself into more and more "children" and allowing them to play in the universal sandpit, there are some children that are so mischievous that they disproportionately hoard love for themselves (as ego's/devils) that god has to kill them off. But ultimately killing off one of your own children can maximise love for all the other children so to say.)
(also at this point I understood how a parent sees their child, even though I don't have kids. There is a constant push and pull between protecting them but also giving them the freedom to express themselves, for example you let them play on the playground even though they might get a bruise on their knee but you wouldn't let them run out into busy traffic. Or you would like your daughter to experience love form a guy, but you are also weary that too much freedom for guys leads to exploitation and harm for girls, so there is a constant tug and pull to try and maximise love by balancing freedom and restraint)
 
Anyway, I think that is all I can remember right now. This is only really 20-30% of what I actually experienced. The other stuff is either incommunicable or just too difficult to remember.
Let me know if you guys have any questions, I will try to answer a few important ones but really I am going to try recover from this as it was hugely energetically draining, and I think I am going to be depressed for a few weeks after this so I'm going to put my mind on other things for a while.

Depends on how you define "level of consciousness." Generally speaking your state will drop back to what it was before the trip. But you will remain insights, memories, and it will leave a mark on your psyche. But you will not keep the higher state as that requires neurotransmitters which you lack.
Well, every state is God, so here it is. But this current state is nothing like the God-mode state of 5-MeO-DMT. I'm not in God-mode, I'm more in human mode.

Actually, ego IS the sense of self, and it is a state of consciousness.
Perceptions alone do not generate a sense of self. People who are conscious of no-self (no-ego) still have experiences and perceptions. Just no human self tying it all together.

I thought maybe I could try healing it and stopping it. But the more conscious I got, the more I realized it is Love and doesn't need my stopping it.
Sometimes to take away an obstacle is a disservice, weakening the student. Don't wish for life to be easier, wish for yourself to be stronger.
This corona shit is just something mankind has to grapple with to reach the next level of evolution and love. You can't make all viruses disappear, more will come. We must rebuild society to function better for more people.

There are many levels to Green. Many people's Green runs only skin deep, as beliefs and ideology. It's like a Green veneer. It takes a lot of inner work to reach solid Green. You can't reach solid Green merely through adopting liberal beliefs.
Few Democrats are solid Green. They are mostly Orange with a Green veneer. But most people don't know any better. So we get this wolf in sheep's clothing effect -- as seen with the corporate Dems.
Never forget, there are always devils around who will try to convince the world that they are one color when they are actually a few colors lower. This makes understanding Spiral Dynamics a bit tricky. You have to really develop a keen eye.
For example, Trump seems Orange, but he's got a solid Red foundation with a bunch of Orange veneer. And it fools A LOT of smart people, not to mention the dumb ones. So watch out for fakers.
To be at solid Green requires not just beliefs but an opening of the heart. You have to really empathize with other beings around the world. This cannot be faked. It's an honest signal. And yes, good education in a highly developed society can help you to open your heart. Good education is not merely book-smarts.

The one reality is the sum total of all the lenses/perspectives.
Appearance IS reality.
Wahtever you are imagining becomes true for you. Because you are God, creating yourself.
So if God wants to create a Mormon, he imagines himself being a Mormon for 80 years. And thus a Mormon is made. Until it is unmade. Which is why a Mormon must insist that he's real and not just something God imagines. To be a "Mormon" requires the denial that Mormons are imaginary. Now replace Mormon with scientist or human. That's why everyone is in denial about God, especially the religous and scientific folk.
For example, you imagine the internet right now. If you stopped imagining it, you'd realize you are communicating with me right now directly, telepathically. Since I am just a fragment inside your own mind. But you need to deny that because you are attached to the idea of an external objective reality.
The name of the game is imagiming shit and then denying you imagined it. You imagined Leo, yet you deny it! Look into that
