Death isn't real. But you'll not be able to have these experiences once you break that veil. Do you know how long it took for you to get here!? Jeez, get a life.

To experience not knowing anything. It's like Michael Jackson who paid actors to play as peasants in a supermarket to be able to have the experience of shopping like every other human that's not super famous. Hilarious stuff: It's actually amazing how on point his description is for why he does it. You really can feel that longing to have that experience.

You're welcome. I'd like to share a quote from Nietzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra": Note that I exchanged all mentions of "Superman" with the word "Beyond".

Separation is necessary & impossible. It's like a rift inside the Mind of God. We're a living paradox. Furthermore we're deep inside darkness right now as Humanity. There's a great potential for healing, but first we need to wake up to the darkness itself, which is very uncomfortable. We need to confront our own evil, so to speak. Which is Evil with a capital E. "But I thought there's only Good and evil is a part of Good...!" one may say. That's right. But it's important to become aware of the true depth of our EVIL. If no one is willing to do that, it'll arrive in ways we never expected. It's already happening. EVIL is inescapable & unacceptable at the same time. To escape it we'd have to abandon LIFE, but that's impossible. You see where I'm getting at? There's no easy solution. You have to see the sheer impossibility of it to appreciate the dilemma fully. And only then we will be able to appreciate what LOVE really means. LOVE is something beyond any human comprehension. But it's for sure not butterflies & roses. Contemplate how all that is EVIL must be part of LOVE. Those who follow LOVE will GO DOWN into the ABYSS and thus pave the way for Humanity to become what it's supposed to become. But don't make the mistake to think that that would be easy in any way. It's actually impossible. But it will be done anyway. So I ask you: Are you willing to go down with us? Are you willing to bear that cross? Then stay open, stand firm and don't run when the lightning of madness arrives to cleanse your soul. I AM THAT LIGHTNING

To ourselves & each other, to the animals, to the planet. Yes. You can't run and you can't hide. You and me gonna touch the sky ✨ (Some lyrics I once wrote) Confronting meant looking at it and feeling the pain & suffering of that which is separated. One insight was, that all suffering ultimately stems from the pain of Separation. But it's also impossible to accept. That's the dilemma of God. That's the dilemma of US.

Everything that we don't want to confront and associate with evil, pain & suffering. But that's actually a part of ourselves.

Not with mushrooms specifically, but I experienced a very dark time after a time where I thought light was all that there is. I deem that experience extremely valuable, although it was also extremely challenging on a multitude of levels and required me to confront a lot of darkness inside myself, that I had bypassed for a long time. From what I saw that's also true for our Collective Consciousness.

All I'm saying is: Don't take the lightness for granted, it may turn dark, too. I also said that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I didn't say "hit you hard", I said "hit you like you never expected". Fine, but important difference ✨

@theleelajoker Laugh while you can. Until they hit you like you never expected and it'll take a few months to recollect yourself—except you'll never be the same again. I don't say that's necessarily a bad thing, but be prepared.

Dissent is Love, too. It's confrontation of perspectives that seem to be irreconcilable with each other where it gets real interesting.

The distinguishing quality of Higher Purpose is that it doesn't come from an external source, but from deep within. It comes from The Heart. So in a sense I'd agree, I just wouldn't call it relative, but intimate.

But please don't confuse the map for the territory. Those models are in the end just that—models. At best they're able to expand one's perspective, but they shouldn't be held as some kind of definitive truth. Those personality type stuff discussions are way too shallow for my taste.

Good! Now use Imagination and envision something greater than already exists! That's what we need right now—to go BEYOND. We have to go deeeeper ✨

That's what the Devil would say

True. Not entirely, there is Higher Purpose and mundane purpose. Realizing Higher Purpose requires Emancipation.

Then you're creating that as your Purpose Which is a great starting point, I'm not against that in any way. But there's more. It goes way deeper than that. Still, it's already far beyond the mundane purpose of, say, working to earn a lot of money or something like that.

Exactly. But this is exactly what I'm talking about. You make those things your purpose then, if you want to or not. You can't not create purpose. The real question is if you're doing it consciously or not. And doing it consciously requires confronting the Great Meaninglessness and then transcending it.

@saif2 Well, we're here to CREATE PURPOSE—that's Purpose with a capital P. We're in infancy still as a species. One huge challenge will be to confront purposelessness, emptiness and meaninglessness and then take responsibility to Create it ourselves, because that's what we're here for. We haven't accepted that quest yet as a civilization of Earth. Which means we're not really a Civilization yet.

It's about psychology, which makes chess interesting in the first place.

Because they're in pain.

Dude this is just sad. And the humans are just laughing at what they don't understand because it would be too painful to admit what they're feeling.

Wuhu

But it isn't
