can you bad trip with 1g shroom, let's say, for the most sensitive fragile minds and any significant difference between eyes closed/ opened

@Leo Gura in last video series (1 or 2 idk) you said that if there is a war, that's because it should be happening, isn't that the same as a tyrant being allowed to rule (even if it is temporary)? or were you truly meaning something else more subtle

Synarchy

@winterknight I don't know if you already answered this but here I go. How far did your intellect had to go in order to cease the searching and died for the non dual exerience, or, what was the last level thing you had to knew intelectually that allowed you to dive into the experience. I'm asking this because I am aware that the curiosity I have towards this subject is somehow stoping or making the results way slower for me than perhaps it should be. Even though I think I already "know" a lot, It seems that new questions are always arising, and even though they are legit, it seems aswell that my mind is tricking itself on avoiding work and results. should one just focus on the practice for a long time and just take a break on finding answers just until significant results arise, would you agree with that? I think your book might have good insights to stop this vicious circle... but once again, I think I'ts just my intellect going for his last fights for survival and wanting to buy lots of new books or to watch a bunch of videos...

“Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.” ― Aleister Crowley

life is automatic and Being is just percieving whatever this body is doing without controling it, as if it was watching a movie and coudn't change the script? (help me if doesn't make any sense) I'm also noticing the paralels beetween the awake and lucid dream states relating to the way my mind fear to surrender and desire to control the situation, in the context of lucid dreaming, I don't get very far, I feel like I am not in control, that obviously scares the ego and ends the experience. In those lucid dreams, I get deeply involved to the surroudings, as if there is no "me", and everything is just rolling like a movie, and if I ever try to manipulate the dream (ego fear/ general thinking), it will end. Also, is it legit to achieve nonduality through lucid dreaming? Or nonduality cannot exist within a dream

1000 hours focusing on a stone

@Nahm I am familiar with it, but I'm not seeing how it can answer my questions. Could you clarify that? And I am aware that the content of my doubts might be completely non sense and twisted, coming from someone completely self deluded and not following the basic steps of life as Maslow's suggests (which I am and I try to balance every aspect of it)... How can you even grow without silly doubts

I agree

1 - When Samadhi state is achieved, and your concentration is Total on a particular object, does it feels like "your" existence cease to exist as a body, like your whole body never existed? (and also, that the whole reality seems like a movie screen without any particular participant involved) 2 - Does the Awareness is experiencing my body exactly the same way that is experiencing a chair? And I know that there is this thing called democracy between objects and the body, so the body are on the same importance for awareness such as a chair I suppose. 3 - I remember in one of Leo's videos, he mentioning that Humans are puppets of the universe, what does that exactly mean? Does that mean that Humans are some kind of Awareness toys to play around in the material world, but both objects and humans are mere illusions? Maybe none of this makes sense and I'm playing around with self deception, but I is important to me to share it, it will help me to evolve. enjoy your friday*

thanks for the answer @SoonHei

@now is forever beautiful...

If we are all one, but we still have, as humans beings, different experiences, so to be "one" means the "dream machine" can have infinite dreams at the same time for each individual?

In my opinion, either we like it or not, I think everyone looks for a strong confirmation bias before getting into "enlightenment" experience. I agree that it can be dangerous if you desire to achieve those higher states without intellectual knowledge of them, the mind needs to understand it first, kindly

im relaxed :3 just excited

if we realize we are the dream machine, then we can choose our dream, is that the ultimate goal, to be nothing and everything?

definitely a mind seducer

as an example, Ufo's are might be other kind of consciouscness form, and if so, how many lives would you consider we need to live as a body in order to change for another kind of physical experience? (asking this in the perspective of, that being enlightened might be experienced in a different way if we were just another kind of thing)

@SoonHei I believe that my most basic actions fit on my needs for survival. The more we are aware that the thought it self is a mechanism to serve us, the more we act without his consent, and this would be a more close approach to the true meaning of "true will", acting without external influence. But of course, my ego stills acts into this self-deceptive ideas, and they might no be my " real doing" at all... So I believe that, if we believe that a particular Thought will benefit in our need to survive, we will follow that thought, for the sake of survival. If it doesn't put us in risk, we can easilty ignore it. And, thank you very much for the welcoming!

thoughts are different than taking real actions, not every evil/good thought is puted in action. what would be interesting to discuss is if that every action has its origin from thought?
