But aren't those concepts, which you said are not worth anything?

@Breakingthewall You seem to have a very concrete idea of what is right and wrong and how a spiritual person has to behave. This is called "spiritual bypassing" and it's one of the most toxic things I also see in this forum again and again. I know it because I've been through it. It means you use spirituality to invalidate certain emotions that you don't want to feel or certain concepts and ideas you don't want to think about. In short you try to eradicate everything that you think is wrong (concepts, pride, mind, ego) from existence. You don't even have to look at it because you already know what it is and that it's wrong. You're deluding yourself. Every concept is at least worth trying to understand it.

In Russia windows shuts you down.

Hey Maybe it just doesn't work for you. Everyone responds differently to any chemical. Did you try 2C-B? What are your experiences with other psychedelics?

I just had another insight: To be shown Truth before you're ready to let go of everything else would be terrifying. I know that because it happened to me. Only later I learned to appreciate it and open myself to it, it kind of forced me to do that. Retrospectively it was an act of Divine Grace. So the fact that Truth (usually) doesn't get revealed to you before you love it for Truth's sake is an act of kindness. It only becomes beautiful after you're ready to die.

That question is implicitly there before you've made that step, that jump into the void for yourself. The complete uncertainty and then doing it anyway is what gives it its Beauty. Else you just would do it because you gain something from it. It has to be a selfless act. Only acts of selfless Love are truly beautiful. Everything else is naturally tainted.

That's what I was hinting at. But it's a process in my experience at least. You have to get to the point first where you want the Truth and nothing but the Truth, so help me God..

How can you trust in that if you didn't experience it? I did, but I can see why it can be very hard to anticipate. My explanation and interpretation would be: Truth is the only thing that exists, you are it and it is also infinite and eternal. therefore it must be absolutely Good. Because for something to be bad or evil requires that it would be able to harm you. Evil requires you to be limited. But you have to also have realized that there can't be anything but Truth. There are so many insights, big and small, required to see that Truth ultimately equals Good. Therefore there's this unspoken nagging question: "What if Truth isn't Good!? What if I find out that it's the most nightmarish thing ever?" This can not be answered through language, it has to be seen. You must first be tired of falsehood to finally be ready to lift the veil – WHATEVER there is on the other side. Because you just want to finally know the TRUTH. @TheWind Get to that point first, and then you will find out for yourself.

I love to take MDMA before a psychedelic trip because it opens me up emotionally and makes it easier to let go after. It’s also really good to approach very emotional topics to work through, or even talk to people I’m close with about our relationship or some argument. It’s best when the other person takes it, too. 2C-B is also amazing for that by the way. It’s also a lot less heavy, less comedown and much clearer headspace. But I love MDMA for what it is, it’s pretty unique in its effects. Don’t overdo it though. You can’t take it more often than once every 3 months and don’t give in into the desire to take more on the comedown or you might regret it later (Weed helps a lot here ).

Do you take SSRIs by any chance?

@Someone here Simple: You already can. But you don’t want to, you’re just not conscious of that yet.

Turning off the mind is a means to mastering the mind.

The mind is the most beautiful instrument ever created.

Both. Always both. That's the only thing I know for sure. The How though you gotta discover for yourself. Keep questioning.

It's paranoia. The german word for it translates literally to "prosecution-delusion". A milder version would be the disquieting feeling that everybody stares at you in a social setting. More generally a feeling that the world is turning against you. Could have something to do with past experiences of punishment by your parents, but that's just a wild guess.

Could also be tolerance. Weed without tolerance is way more psychedelic. Edibles are also more psychedelic than smoked weed IME.

You're asking the real questions

That's a paradox only an Infinite Intelligence could create

Meditation doesn't need you to be sitting down. It's at its core a letting go / dropping of the mind. Usually by connecting with your breath as a sort of grounding in the present moment, but other means are possible as well.

It's just what I became conscious of and I describe it to you. Incidentally this contradicts Infinity in no way. Different levels that we're talking about. If you think there's a contradiction here, consider the possibility that both sides could be true at the same time.

Yes you can and will. All pain is your pain and all pleasure is your pleasure.

Yep. All cause-effect relationships stay the same, you're not suddenly able to go through walls. But you realize that wherever you end up you will be at home. Because you're not so much focused on survival anymore - even while it still exists - you'll choose much more consciously where you want to go next. You trust in life/yourself more. Also all activities you just did because you thought you had to will fall away like dead leafs on a tree. You will become much more conscious of why you do things, and when there's no reason anymore after you see through the fake ones you will cease to do them.

Both are true, kind of. When I realized solipsism last time it was clear that everybody is my imagination BUT what they experience I experience, I'm usually just not aware of that. It's like if you sit on your arm and your hand goes to sleep, you don't feel it anymore but it's still your hand. You're kind of an alien intelligence that plays every human at the same time, but you cut off your awareness from all others, so it feels as if you're only this one. But in reality you're all of them. But still every one of them has a body, an emotional system and so on. Every pain and pleasure they experience you experience as well, but you will realize this only after you die or awaken.

Well said. The truth is you don't want to tell them because you don't want to hurt them. Tell them that. That is literally the truth.

Truth doesn’t need to be brutal. In fact that already is a sign that it’s not pure anymore. It’s possible to misuse truth for purposes of the ego. If your truth doesn’t contain love it’s not worth much.
