This consciousness is all there is, I’m imagining everything else. This insight was supposed to feel good? What the hell am I to do with this?

I realize my posts in this thread could've alarmed some of you. I'm sorry if that affected you negatively. While I was alarmed by what I realized, psychedelic insights tend to fade away in memory quite quickly. This one is no exception. Reminiscing this insight does bring anxiety, but overall I'm doing Okay. Take care,

@UnbornTao My whole life is built around others. Realizing all of it as a smoke show is quite the shock. I still have no idea what this means going forward. Truth will fuck you up.

I'm imagining waking up in the morning, I'm imagining going to work in my imaginary car, I'm imagining all my coworkers, I'm imagining heating my imaginary lunch in the imaginary microwave, I'm imagining giving this imaginary vending machine this imaginary money for an imaginary chocolate bar. I'm imagining my friends and family are conscious. Are they? I don't know, I have absolutely zero evidence they are. There is no point in me writing on this forum, I'll be imagining all the replies. What a mindfuck

This might just be the dumbest shit I've read all week

@r0ckyreed I can assure you with one hundred percent certainty that this question should be asked to your GP. There's literally dozens of risk factors that increase the chance of having blood clots. New agey armchair wizards on this forum don't know your medical history... Please ask your GP...

Why?

@Danioover9000 Summer break for Australian students go from mid December to January. You're taking a break with 3.65 million people in Australia alone. There's no synchronicity here, just coincidences. What makes you believe in such things?

@Danioover9000 What synchronicities are you talking about

@Dazgwny You're really triggered

What do you mean by that?

What the fuck?

@neutralempty I found a shirt that would fit you well :

@UNZARI Hi Unzari! Has your father ever hurt you physically? Where did you get this ridiculous idea? If parents breaking their children normal to you, you need to do a serious reality check...

@fluffy_fractalshard Seems to me you're psychosed beyond relief

Interesting read! You seem like a great person, I'm happy you're feeling better and better as time goes on The decision you took of taking antidepressants was an act of love towards yourself. Not everyone has the courage it takes to do something like this, I'm not even sure I would, but you somehow found a way. Continue to listen to your heart, and I'm sure great things with come to you, Metta

@fluffy_fractalshard What in the f are you rambling on about?

Hi! Today I listened to Jeffery Martin's talk on Buddha at the Gas Pump podcast : In the podcast he talk about the course he made up following his research on enlightenment, called the Finder's Course. Apparently at least 90% of people that took the course reached some form of stream entry or whatever his location 1 maps onto. See the course here : https://finderscourse.com/ Has anyone has heard or tried this course and would like to share his or her experience? Here's a review from /r/streamentry : https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/comments/98e7gd/practice_my_review_of_finders_course_exposing_the/ Here's seemingly what the course looked like 3 years ago : https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/comments/62ev8b/community_the_finders_course_techniques_and/ Here's another review from /r/streamentry's moderator : https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/comments/b7sz3b/community_regarding_the_finders_course/ Here's another testimonial (although suspicious...) :https://www.reddit.com/r/FindersCourse_QandA/comments/fefb0x/is_the_finders_course_a_scam/ @Leo Gura you wrote a blog post about the course 3 years ago : https://www.actualized.org/insights/persistent-non-symbolic-experience. Do you have anything more to say about it? It seems to good to be true, the marketing is off-putting as well...

@Leo Gura I've tried some psychedelics in the past and they're clearly something else for sure. I agree they're probably the best tools we have for this kind of work. But I've also had a pretty traumatic experience last time I used, about a year ago, that left me prone to anxiety attacks for about 4-5 months. Nasty stuff... I feel better now, but not yet ready to plunge back in. I think I'd rather cultivate some of that abiding peace before doing some more exploration with such substances. So right now I'm looking for alternatives haha

Okay let's say for 1 second that these events are "synchronicities". Now what? What do you do with this information?

What is this forum turning into
