All of these suggestions sound like party music, Heilung is Top Tier spiritual music, and closely followed by this Japanese ensemble. and

Pretty solid write, I was kinda hoping it would end up on a more "positive" note.. it does feel like its missing something at the end.

Because then we would have to validate dangerous or predatory delusions and that would set our collective consciousness back a few hundred years. Setting aside the fact that they are most probably paid actors, he thinking he is a cyborg is harmless but what if he claims he needs to molest children to recharge batteries? Would you validate that?

Sure, but heres our friend reality to paint you a picture of what it actually feels like for a lot of people

I have never seen that movie, did it age well?

Be careful with that path, thats a stage orange's version of spirituality

Watched the video, the guy clearly states he didn't knew paranoid schizophrenia ran on his family which is a big NO NO. Having delusional thoughts that your girlfriend poisoned you and that you had to hurt her and kill her doesn't exactly spell stage-turquoise psychic material. Just another guy that got too cocky and faced his demons.

Bad idea, we all have moments of doubt, and doubt is just another piece of the puzzle. There was nothing insidious or trollish about his post.

It only takes an altered state of consciousness to open yourself up to all the possibilities Get tipsy with alcohol and listen to Heilung - Lifa and tell me if you need drugs to feel deep vibrations inside you. Edit: and yes, i know alcohol is a drug, but at least its more accessible. It sucks that for many of us its freaking hard to find shrooms or lsd

oh hey thats me I am sure he initially thought I was belittling psychedelics which triggered his first response, but his combativeness is nothing compared to other teachers like Peter Ralston, I guess it comes with the job. He could write all saint-like, but that would be boring and I am sure he is comfortable being a little more care-free with the language because we all probably share similar backgrounds and interests, so I dont take his trash-talk seriously Now, does he need to be more responsible with his word choosing? Sadly, yes. Im sure there are people here battling severe depression, some may feel like they are close to loosing it, and I would imagine having your favorite spiritual teacher call you a giant dumbass would be most unfortunate.

You made a post in November 11, 2018 where you wrote you became conscious of infinity through meditation, so why would you need more proof that this path leads to truth?

God gave us Bojack Horseman so the answer is Yes.

I preferred the old one, strong and simple. New one looks like this is a christian church or something

How brutal. I love it

..but its been debunked so many times before. One might argue that those scientific materialists are so closed minded that they wont accept paranormal phenomena even if it shows right in-front of their noses. I call bullshit on this. Lets take for example actual real magic, like hypnotism. Hypnotism was once thought out of as a joke, yet scientists were able to study, explore and experiment with it to unravel the mysteries of the mind and now its commonly accepted as true and practical. Same cannot be said about other paranormal phenomena, I wonder why... hmmm.

Take the following points: a) Reality is ever-changing, ever growing, ever learning. b) The passage of time only exists from the relativistic point of view. c) The past, present and future exist simultaneously, they are absolute and eternal. Does this all mean that in an absolute sense... truth is static? Hear me out here. If the infinite encompass all possibilities, then it should find no need to grow or change into something else. Because it already was, is and will be. In other words, as a perceiver of the relative I am watching a movie. But on the outmost level, I am a canvas. Thoughts? Before you reply, understand that I am not implying that staticity is a negative thing, or that it diminishes infinity somehow. Infinite is infinite and that is that.

My mother and sisters swear to me they met real psychics, but when they tell me of the experiences it all spells like highly-intuitive psychiatrists to me.

I find Eckhart's tale fascinating to read, so I am wondering which other note worthy individual had a spontaneous awakening. As in.. they recieved the whole package out of the blue. No drugs. No meditation retreat in Hawaii. No sensory deprivation tank.

Good words, and I admit I am lost in this path, I think way too much and I have a hard time silencing the mind. I have had profound mystical experiences with psychedelics, some sober, I can definitely feel my consciousness is on another level now, but I am still identified with my ego. I still live inside my mind. I truly want to "get it", the curiosity is huge but I also dont feel rushed about it. Reading all this material and watching the videos is something I currently enjoy so theres that.

@Leo Gura I am close-minded for preaching your own words? I am not dissing psychedelics as I have done my fair share of them, including 5-Meo. Sorry, but you have misinterpreted my whole thread here. Dont know why you are being so assuming and combative.

Any who, my original intention was to accumulate self-realizations done without the influence of drugs or done on the brink of starvation, I dont undermine the efforts of meditation or inquiry and I firmly believe they are the only way to achieve truth. I simply find sober stories more fascinating to read about. This is just for the sake of those who cant buy drugs, tickets to luxurious meditation retreats or sensory deprivation tanks.

My bad, I had him mixed up with Peter Ralston, they both look alike

I dont think the idea of "previous lives" aligns itself with non-duality. We all share the same soul, my previous life is all lives that exist, existed and will exist.

You interviewed GP Walsh and he himself had a semi-spontaneous awakening, of course I am aware that a lot of study and contemplation goes into it, and I recall you talking in one of your videos about a woman that had the realization of oneness out of the blue and it took her quite a while to understand what went through her.

In Leo's video [Why Reality CANNOT Be A Simulation - A Clear Answer], he argues that reality cannot be a simulation and that anyone who entertains on such ideas are deluding themselves & not understand non-duality. He goes on further down-playing several well-known academics for subscribing to such "silly" ideas. First of all, no one is arguing that reality itself is a simulation, rather, our experience of reality existing inside a simulation is very well inside the grounds of possibility. For Leo to argue against this would be a contradiction on his views on infinity, you see, if reality is infinite in its possibilities, we then cannot throw away the possibility of beings/entities having a conscious experience inside a supercomputer. In other words, we are not saying reality = simulation, rather, simulations are just one of the infinite pieces of reality, and we might as well be living inside one without knowing it.
