Because they don't point at what I'm trying to convey. Simple.. as that In what you're saying there's someone that sees himself to be above the illusion. You can't just discard everything that's happening because "it doesn't matter anyway". That's just spiritual bypassing. The illusion is absolute. As soon as you try to be above it you've fallen into some kind of metaphysical duality again.

What you say has a kernel of truth. Except it's completely wrong, because it is so reductionistic that it is just complete falsehood. It is very comfortable for the mind to think it has "gotten" it. I don't think I do by the way, I just had some very profound insights – and I furthermore think it is impossible as a human to "get" it. But the error lies in the inconspicuous words "just" and "simply". That's already deeply dualistic. It is not "just" an illusion. It is not "simply" nothing. It is Divine Illusion (or Imagination, which I prefer). It is Absolutely Nothing. That's completely different. That Absolute Nothing is at the same time absolutely Everything, Absolute Infinity. Eternal Life itself. If you reduce the whole to nothing, you miss LIFE!!!! Don't you see that?

Reality is just the best story

I am no cockroach, no raven, no fish, no bacteria right now. So I can't say anything about that. I am HUMAN — and so are you! Humanity is special in a sense that it is happening right now, while the rest is not. That's all. And all animals and insects and beings are reflected in that, too. Humanity is a mirror that reflects the whole cosmos in it. Like everything else, but everything else doesn't matter right now. It matters how we RELATE to all those other beings, though. That's actually of utmost importance. This is not meant to offend you, but I think you have no clue about the Absolute. You have merely some logical understanding and a lot of concepts about the whole thing with little direct experience as the source of your statements. That's what I'm sensing, and that would be completely okay. It goes way, way beyond appearance.

Ask and you shall receive. But you have to listen very carefully.

Your true nature is incomprehensible and unspeakable. But it is at the same time the most intimate thing — I mean, it’s your true nature after all. How to get there.. depends. Everyone has their own path. But you know it in your heart if you dare to listen.

In experience yes. But only one is being "there", only one is in a way real. You can't kill the darkness, but you could blow up the sun. That's because darkness has no reality of its own, it's merely the absence of something – which is in this case light. You can't fight darkness – but it simply disappears when you bring light. So: Don't focus on the suffering, focus on your true nature, which is eternal bliss.

That bliss is something one has to forget in order to experience oneself as an ego. What's real? The darkness at night or the sun?

In the so-called material world there's constant stress for every living being, that's true. Also called survival of course. But with ever more awareness, there's Ananda – a sort of existential happiness/bliss. But it's not always easily accessible.

EVERYTHING is a fantasy. And humanity is the greatest fantasy ever created. You have no clue of the gravity of what's happening right here and now. HUMANITY didn't wake up yet. So.. there's your greatest purpose. "Oh but humanity is just an illusion". NO IT ISN'T! YOU are HUMANITY. But you're not conscious enough to see that yet. "But I'm God/Infinity and everything else is maya". STOP parroting that buddhist/nondual bullshit. You have no idea. This is the greatest Play ever invented and humanity is DIVINE ART. You're literally part of divine magic and you want to tell me that this is all ordinary / just an illusion. It is not just an illusion. It is DIVINE IMAGINATION. That's a huge huuuuge difference.

That proves absolutely nothing.

May not work for you. But there's a reason it is used in treating PTSD. It allows one to confront traumatic events, because it removes any emotional barrier and you can look at it with loving awareness and thus dissolve the trauma. If fear and trauma isn't one of your themes in this work (it is for me), you just may not be able to gain anything valuable from it, which is OK, too, of course.

Absolutely. I don't consider MDMA a "true" psychedelic either in the classical sense. It's an entactogen. And one of its really special abilities is to remove all and any fear on a very deep spiritual level while staying completely alert and awake — even more so.

I have to remind myself sometimes to eat enough. It's different for everyone.

You probably won't want to do that given enough consciousness – which you will have after this life.

No one can convince you if you aren't convinced and nobody can make you doubt in the moment you KNOW. But it's totally possible to forget again and starting to doubt again. In that moment there's no one that could hold any authority over you other than yourself. Because you realize that there never was in the first place. For me it goes in and out of knowing – and then doubting again and so on. But it's different for everyone.

You devil 😈

Well if I hit you with a stick on the head, you sure would be conscious of it, would you? Undeniable so, wouldn't it be? Not really. You explored some aspects of infinity. But Awakening to Infinity means you become without a sliver of a doubt aware of what Infinity really MEANS. It feels like you remember something that has been long forgotten, but really you know it by heart, you just forgot. It's as unmistakable as knowing that you exist right now. You don't have to ask someone if it is really the case — you just KNOW it.

A chair is not an object, it is an experience. There is an infinitude of possible chair experiences. But they are again part of a greater subset of experiences of furniture. Newsflash: You didn't just make up chairs, you made up EVERYTHING.

Psychedelics are neither good nor bad, they will be what you make of them. They can be abused just like everything else and it will have consequences. Those consequences can be pretty bad if used incorrectly, because they are very powerful tools. So don't forget to treat them with respect. And even then every trip has its prize, just like everything else has.

As Leo said, it should go both hand in hand. Your Life Purpose is what motivates you to self-actualize beyond what you would living a life without direction.

What is your Life Purpose?

Beautifully said.

If you become 120 years old, 60 years would be your midlife. Just an interesting perspective.

Because we're all at different points of development, and our collective development can be accelerated immensely when we work together instead of against each other. It's about creating together, and our culture, knowledge, emotional & mental development can always go further. In a way we just recently arrived at a point where it starts to get really interesting... That doesn't contradict Absolute Perfection. Our journey is our destination so to speak. There's always more to explore, more to create, more to know, more to master.
