The book I'm reading ATM is good on death (materialism is baloney)...its essential stance is that the brain moderates, modulates and manages the flow of consciousness, it doesn't generate or create it. Consciousness flows through the brain and manifests as different perceptions kind of like how light passes through a prism and manifests as different colours. The light is not created by the prism, nor is consciousness created by the brain. The book describes how, in neuroscience, a powerful experience isn't always correlated proportionally with an increase in neural network activation, but a decrease in neural activity. This observation suggests that the brain is more like a radio tuning out certain frequencies so that it can tune into and focus on one radio channel and receive the audio. Turning off the radio doesn't result in the death of the radio waves. In the same way, killing the brain doesn't result in the death of consciousness (which is of course what you actually are). The brain seems to localise the flow of consciousness (that is so powerful that it doesn't need a source or generator). According to some of these findings, the brain seems to tune out and mutes a significant portion of consciousness which flows from nowhere to itself. Like the brain is a valve that is designed to tighten and restrict the flow of water. If the valve were to break off it wouldn't result in a decrease of water flow, it would result in a completely unrestricted powerful release of the entire water pressure in a massive expansion of water flow. Similarly when the brain dies, it is theorised that consciousness expands exponentially and becomes unlimited as It was only being limited by the brain to localise a coherent perceptual experience and world. Saying you die when the brain ceases to exist, I think, could also be compared to saying that a knot dies when it is unraveled. Really, a knot is only a particular state of the true underlying substance: rope. You cannot die by being unraveled because you are the rope itself. There is nothing to fear and death is an illusion. In other words, chill homes, your immortal. (Side note: the above insights are dualistic and I don't think they are the actual ultimate structure of reality as the brains physicality also eventually comes into question.)

I'm an epistemic scoundrel !!!

Cuz they don't have a direct experience of God, they have a knowledge or set of ideas that they've installed in their minds to look at and call God. It's kinda funny because having certain ideas in the mind can in certain ways be beneficial and actually necessary because the ego doesn't know how else to try and get a handle on God. Pictures like Jesus can be useful in my opinion because it is a created symbol of God made manifest as a person. Someone who is dogmatically against symbols under all circumstances should check their logic... In a more relatable example it would be very appropriate and acceptable to put a picture of a dead relative on their casket at a funeral. The picture isn't actually them but it allows the mind to establish some form of an emotional connection. I think having ideas is perfectly acceptable, it only becomes deeply problematic when the holder of said ideas forgets that they are still just symbols and starts conflating them for the reality they represent.

Yeah, it's like I wrote this little analogy recently: It's like you have been living your entire life in a yellow brick house and one day, upon close inspection you simply realise that the bricks are not merely yellow in colour, they are literally gold bricks.

@Jannes

@Jannes oh yeah for sure. Just be aware that some of the LEDs break often in these Chinese products, but most of the rope will remain functional and you could also just research the highest quality rope lights. Imo they are extremely therapeutic and for such a small adjustment to the room it completely transforms the entire vibe

If you ever get lost and don't know what your trying to focus on in general in your path towards higher consciousness, just remind yourself that this is a complete lie and that you do know what to focus on, youve always known, it is always here, it is always obvious...even though the practises are required to bring it into actuality. But don't just drift into some not knowing void of epistemic greyness, god is real and incredibly fucking powerful.

Hitler was super cool. Very good example of power. Just a pity he was so corrupt, he could have taken over the world with love instead if he was more spiritually developed

Chaos and natural disaster (even in social systems) seems to be the way god combats people who target genuine followers of truth in the long run. His benevolent energy always corrects extremely damaging man-made systems. Something I've realised is that the force of god is demonstrated often by the power of nature (and natural chaos) where degenerate individuals in society (particularly in positions of power) seem to attempt to lean more onto the synthesis of their own, self generated power [typically enforced by raw man power]. The power of man is usually found in order and can be potent, but pales in the face of a hurricane, tsunami or black hole. At least at humanities current level of dev. The story of Moses is incredible (even just as a metaphor). Pharaoh enslaved gods followers for a long time destroying lives and families with no empathy. Eventually such heavy handedness provoked the rise of Moses who stood against Pharaoh and his unrivaled force of man power. God hit Pharaoh with disaster after disaster until he eventually let Moses leave with his people. No amount of man power could stop the plagues and disasters god sent to Pharaohs land until he eventually let Moses leave. You guys should check out the move Exodus: Gods and Kings of you like those kinds of stories (Christian bale stars in it (the guy from the dark Knight trilogy)). The ending is good, Moses splits the red sea, gods people begins to cross, Pharaoh shits himself and realises that he's just been made a dick of by a load of slaves and some god so he follows them and gets fucking annihilated when the sea collapses on his entire army HAHA. Chaos

I could predict that one misinterpretation might be assuming that a person can be only one colour. Also assuming that each colour cannot have distinct, varying forms (some stage blue Christians are aggressive, dangerous and highly ideological, where other stage blue Christians can be very caring and insightful)

The do nothing technique is probably simplest. Only thing to keep in awareness while doing do nothing is not too resist anything, including resistance. One hard rule, keep the body still

Be aware that there are distinct traits of the correct ways to go insane and the incorrect ways. Be careful with this. This is way more advanced than what a lot of us even realise

Ukraine seems to be doing quite well, only 46k Ukrainians killed as contrasted against around 200k Russians killed. But yeah i refuse to be emotionally triggered judt because the media told me to be. Obviously I care...but I also care about the 750 thousand dead in the iran-iraq war, the 2 million people killed in Vietnam, the 2.7m in Korea, and the 70m in ww2. I'm equally emotionally triggered and emotionally charged by all wars

if you read the next sentence I said btw, after the sentence you quoted you'll find I said "Regardless of if its a war, Its obvious they started inserting this word intentionally and repeatedly to turn the west against Russia as quickly as possible." I'm not pointing to a geo political thing, I'm pointing to a media thing. I don't care if what I'm being manipulated into is correct and accurate (which it seems to be), I just don't like being manipulated full stop. Not from a political perspective, more from a philosophical perspective. But I'm aware that most of society is filled with people who can't do basic research and thus need to be manipulated into being correct

Put some 5meo in his tea

Also possibly a good opportunity to develop the skill of firmness but not harshness. Pressing without pushing. Diplomatic combination between authenticity and empathetic insight. Many dumbasses exist, hearing them attempting to teach their moronicisism then to you can be extra infuriating. I'm trying to become more patient with people these days, recognising that sometimes they say these things because they're actually trying to make people feel happier or better...and sure maybe they're completely inaccurate, but their effort is better than what some make (none). I'm realising how little self control I have when my buttons are pushed in life lol. Trying to develop my own skill of tolerance...I think I don't accept others sometimes and their inaccuracies, because subconsciously and historically I struggle to accept myself and my own inaccuracies

So nonduality is a collapsing of all distinctions theoretically...that would include sane Vs insane. But you need to be careful to do it correctly or you will fuck yourself up badly, you can actually do the wrong direction and very bad things can happen be careful

yes! I love insanity lol. (Just be sure to do it right or your in trouble LOL)

Ever heard of someone going "loopy" (see urban dictionary definition). Yeah, well our literal aim to to become loopy: Listen to this... Play this loudly and Let the beautiful transient melody flow gracefully over the mind, dismembering itself piece by piece, devouring the logic that so permeates the typical state. Lose a grasp on why it is here become familiar with that which is not understood. Let it force itself inside you, destroying your mind and eating your breakfast:

Don't ask anyone on this site for chems, but man you could easily find a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. Rather than ordering directly, pay someone else to do it. Keep communication about it face to face and only use cash. Should be way safer. Also be mindful if your ready for 5meo, I tried to prematurely and wasn't the right time. You could easily find some drug addicts who have connections they are everywhere and dealers are resourceful...you could ask them if they can get some phenethylamines like 2-CB or mescaline, these are said to be far lighter and nicer than lysergemides (acid) and tryptamines (NN, DPT, 5meo, etc). Tryptamines are very intense, a lot of people say NN-DMT is very difficult to use. When I start up again soon I'm Gona progress like this shrooms to gently get started again, 2-CB or mescaline, just stick with one of those for a good long time to get myself realllllllyyy comfortable in the extended mystical states, really stabilise there, then start working with 5meo in a few years after I become 20 times stronger. Fun note: research suggests it's relatively safe to intelligently combine NN-DMT or 5meo with the likes of diazepam or mdma to reduce fear and intensity. Mdma + NN is slightly more risky, but typically reads only as yellow caution, not organe warning or red danger. Other combos could be beta blockers, phenibut or a small dose of the less trippy version of ketamine (can't remember if it was R or S). I personally only tried MD+DMT combo one time...one of the best most beautiful trips of my entire life. But research needs to be done by you yourself, there's still risk. Legal, biological, psychological. Be aware of the >>>dangers<<<. Also you could move country Bonus note: you can tell your doc your experiencing auditory hallucinations and getting anxiety attacks and ask for immediate release olanzapine and boom. It's a trip killer, keep it beside you during all trips and if you start having a very difficult experience take 5mg
