Why cant it happen the way I described it without an entity but just by being possible or infinite. Why would it require a finite biased entity. In fact it would encourage the opposite, especially the part that destroys and creates anew (forgetting)

Just giving him back the shit he gives the people who don't or cant use due to genetics. The "meditators" He has for years stated they can never reach the states of consciousness he can with psychedelics. But how can he know that. You're right, its impossible to me that he could teach the material he does without being awake, but then when he makes statements like that it really surprises me as well. So perhaps it is because he couldn't he assumes no one can. And because he couldn't maybe its a completely different level of awakening or enlightenment that he will never understand.

@Leo Gura i kinda agree with this...I mean..a lot of this is going to come off as like a fear tactic. Its better to just admit that you exhibited some odd God complex like behavior - or that is what it appears in that if we dont follow you we will never reach the states of consciousness "promised" by you and that no one has already. Can you clarify where I have gone wrong here? I'm never stated this is a cult but I do find some of your behavior disturbing. If you just kick people out that want to question you then that would be kinda cult like wouldn't it? Your overall tone can be at times come off condensending and this would just solidy things. You have to realize you are dammed if you do here and damned if you don't. I understand you have to stick with your convictions but there isnt a way you can judge how awake someone else is. If you showed a bit more humility and explained your teachings in a way that didnt come off as so grandiose and exalting yourself above everyone else I think it would go along way. If someone doesn't speak up they then appear to be a "blind" follower. I understand these people may not follow you on to some of your highest teachings anyway but your highest teachings involve psychedelics anyway and some people can't do them anyway due to genetics.

I wouldn't trade the wisdom gained from it or go back and change anything. But yes because it loosens your inhibitions you are willing to take more chances. But engaging in danger is the thrill of it all. And I'm sure part of him was a thrill seeker. By the way I do recall a certain experience you had in a bath tub where you came pretty close to death yourself. And for an enlightened person this type of thrill seeking is even more enticing - to taunt death or to taunt the ending of fhe dream. But once you get older you would much rather just lead a nice quiet life.

It can happen to anyone with too.much drugs or alcohol. All it takes is one bad decision. I'm lucky I'm not dead with half the crazy stuff I did while drunk

How do you escape a dream with tools made within the dream? Because its magic. A mechanism was never required. Its all one giant fabrication. So you're attempting to find some logic in any of it. So when you say "you can't just do that: well that assumes a set of rules. But who created those rules?

What happens when the line between the psychotic and the mystic has dissolved. I prefer to say you die within the same world that you live.

It worked for me and I just followed self inquiry.

Yes that can be effective but I am talking more specifically about awakening to no self. For that me I realized that what I thought was my identity was an idea. For example in my case i believed I was an entity behind the eyes. Like an invisible entity. A soul. I knew I couldn't find this anywhere in space though. And that is when I realized it actually existed as an idea. Thats what i was. Not metaphorically but quite literally.

Well..what you come to find out is that the you is an idea. Because all you have is ideas. So anything you believe you are is an idea. I forgot to mention that earlier but that i think is what yiu are saying. Realizing you are an idea can be enough to drop the ego and trigger a shift in consciousness. But you have to realize it so profoundly that it brings about enlightenment.

I can't even tolerate it or it throws my ego into immediate panic attacks. I have yet to try psychedelics but i would be very wary to. But maybe they would be different.

Wow that's interesting. Yep you see so grandpa was onto something. What i think is sad is that young kids are just indoctrined in with relatively no say. Yes they can think for themselves so ultimately they can decide what they want to "believe" but the fact that they are just indoctrined in with no say is kind of messed up. With Judaism there is no taking communion or anything like that it is much more laid back to me than Christianity. By the way it doesn't surprise me that shamans had mental illness. There is a binding genetically between mental illness and mystical ability. Imo.

My grandfather always said religion was good about one thing. Holding the family unit together 😀 But it's good for some to surrender to a higher power greater than themselves. Because this allows them to release control and give it to God. Its a type of release. The problem is the whole problem with religion in general. Which we both know so I won't go into it here. But suffice it to say it is pre-rarional and you can be post-rational (transcending rationalism) which is much more advanced

Not if you don't want to

Try to get yourself out of this thought loop. You kind of trapped yourself with the realizations but more importantly if you have only had a glimpse of God Consciousness how can you be certain you are God? Have you had an awakening yet that you are God? Because if you had then I think you would have integrated it properly and wouldn't be in this thought loop. This is kinda what happens when you take things on as a belief. So try to get yourself out of this because I think it is going to make you more nihilistic as that is what it appears to be doing when it should be a positive. I'm sure part of it is but the negative part would make me want to change my thinking.
