@Jed Vassallo that's what happened to me except i was just doing self inquiry. I didn't have any idea what i was getting into - i just had an open mind. That said - you can still do the same. Just have an open mind and when meditating - quiet the mind and just say "hey, let's see where this takes me". Don't think about anything. (Don't overthink). It's thinking that screws us as the ego. Also one thing people miss is Love. Love is powerful enough to awaken someone. So when meditating and/or taking pyschedelics, let Love fill you up, but don't think. Also do not fear surrendering. When you get a full blast of the Absolute sometimes it is simply too much for a mere mortal. Its an awesome force that is simply too much..it will pour into you but you won't let it because it's just too powerful..you will shake and scream uncontrollably. Thats OK. Because you will be in a state of consciousnes a thousand times higher than normal and that could last for days even weeks with realizations coming and going. Other times you will just be there. No force. Just calm. Non-dual state where death of the ego just happened without any need to surrender. It was just instantaneous. So either way there is nothing to fear. You will not be able to stop it as the ego even if you wanted to.

@mandyjw Lol...not an airhead at all you just know that you are God

@SoonHei love it.

@tedens from the Divine's point of view its One. You are alone and i am in your imagination. This can be shocking and radical when you become directly conscious of it. But from the relative you are tricking yourself into thinking their are fingers. Or dualities

@Aakash you of all people should know that there are no paradigms or stages in non-duality. Those are dualities.

So much mental masturbation in this thread.

@Aakash i love you man so do i don't know why you are being so ornery unless your not happy within yourself...i didn't say total enlightenment i said pure Being becoming total leaving itself. No more Aakash. You shouldn't judge other's enlightenment worry about yourself.

It is you imagining yourself out of existence. The form being extracted from formlessness Pure Bliss.

When you feel it is the collapse into Being - that's why i call it Being. It is definitely not false anything. When it becomes total its enlightenment.

@Aakash call it whatever you want. Its what i described.

@Pouya Kundalini energy - which i call Being - is real. It is a blissful, dissolving/tingling type sensation. When this becomes Total the ego collapses leaving pure Being. For some the flood gates may open all at once - for others - different areas, or chakras, can open one at a time. So yes.

@Keyhole he'll know. Because he won't be him anymore @Jkris there are different Absolutes/realizations. Mine happened in this order in different awakenings. That you are pure awareness and not a human. That reality is Absolutely infinite and Absolute Love and Intelligence. The physical world / materialist paradigm will melt away before your eyes. Complete understanding of reality. That you are emptiness..nothingness and groundless (leads to dark night of the soul) That everything is One. That you are alone. That all of this is in your Mind. That you are God.

@Mikael89 then your ego was just deluding you. You'll know the difference between that and the Absolute when it happens because you will stop knowing.

@Mikael89 it isn't temporary - even one non-dual state will change you. I like you bro and i don't mean this with any disrespect but obviously you haven't had an awakening yet. When you do you will be on the floor crying and shouting "its infinite..its infinite..its Infinite" over and over and over. You will bliss out for days on end and your mind will open. Discovering you are God is really something. You shouldn't underestimate it.

@Mikael89 that's right. It is pure potential in it's formless form. But you are form. You are the illusion. So when we say consciousness is elevated we are talking about God seeing through his own illusion. Seeing through the form and thus collapsing it leaving only pure potential.

@Mikael89 so the Infinite cannot change?

@Mikael89 hater!! Lol

@Mikael89 it seems obvious they elevate consciousness levels. Whether one is ready for mysticism is whole other ballgame.

@Juan Cruz Giusto let's have a healthy discussion about this if you want. Afterall I'm discussing this with myself LOL. I talked about that - God's formed perspecive - after becoming conscious of it - before Leo did. I have done the work. That's how i know. And i experienced ego death and the dark night of the soul. I'm not just talking out of my arse here.

@Juan Cruz Giusto that's wrong. The ego is an illusion which must be stripped away for God to awaken to himself (itself). The ego is relative and you as God are the Absolute. Duality must collapse leaving only non-duality. God enlightens himself. To say you are already enlightened means you are already Truth or God. That's a relative definition of enlightenment. The other definition is discovering you are God by removing the veil. Wake up.

@Petals reality is a giant Mind. It is itself - thus it has no ground. It's OK to dwell in duality or concept and imagination. Thats good - and it will bring you along. But ultimately you will reach a point in the hero's journey where you must go off on your own. That is where language and words can no longer carry you. And none of us can help you - because the ultimate discovery is that we are all in your imagination. For you to discover this you must Awaken to yourself.

@ThomasT keep going. You have not even scratched the surface. But before diving into advanced pyschedelics i would recommend you do meditation- self inquiry and do nothing / no mind meditation - and related practices so that you build a foundation and understanding of spirituality. As for your life if you take this at the appropriate pace it will enrich it. And you can find inner peace and happiness - liberation.

@The Don thought is form. The present moment is formlessness. When you meditate you connect with Being - formlessness. When your form collapses leaving only formlessness you become the present moment - frozen. In other words the present moment freezes. So when you meditate and are present you are still form dancing with formlessness. When "IT" happens, that is a non-dual state. So you can't be in a full non-dual state 24/7 or you would be dead permanently. (As the ego) But you can develop a fullness of consciousness or non-dual awareness that blankets your Ego's consciousness if you have enough awakenings and become conscious of Oneness. So meditation 24/7 can move you towards this but don't confuse that with being the present moment 24/7.

@Juan Cruz Giusto i won't comment on pyschedelics since my awakenings happened without - but it is obvious to me without even taking them ever that they raise consciousness levels. That said..here we go again with the permanent enlightenment debate. Basically you do die as the ego and come back different. But it is a cumulative amount of awakenings (many) that lead to a state of non-dual awareness that is always there in the background. This can happen with or without psychedelics. It is about raising consciousness high enough to have mystical experiences/non-dual states or awakenings in which you become the Absolute and conscious of those Absolute Truths contained within.

@Nahm correct. This is all more concept and imagination. In the end it all must collapse into the Absolute. @Petals Words and concept may only confuse you more right now being new on the path. Better to meditate and lose all concept by becoming the Absolute and then you will get it (by not getting it!)
