So say you reach the point where you can imagine a completely different reality and fully assimilate into it. What if someone comes along seeing you in a catatonic state and drugs you with an anti psychotic like Thorazine or lithium and suddenly you find yourself right back here. Wouldn't that alone prove this reality is the more real one? Or would such a high level of consciousness render those drugs ineffective? People are brought back from heroic dose psy trips that way all the time. I don't understand how being pulled out of a different world unexpectedly after perhaps an equivalence of decades of living a different life then slowly re-remembering everything about this reality just like high dose trip come downs could be just more imagination. I realize this question is heavily framed in dualistic notions of separateness but i need to know. I really want what was said in this video to be true because I've had trips that have led me to somewhat believe it may be possible.

Really? Isn't that what made them who they were? Surely they had partial access. Is there no way to gain full access while still remaining human, like drift into infinity and return as many times as you need whenever? That might be oversimplified but I thought that's the type of thing we were headed towards. That's pretty hardcore. Dabs are about three x too strong for my liking. I prefer plain flower occasionally.

So the drugs could only work that way if you imagined it to be possible? If you've ascended to the above and beyond like full Buddha or Christ then someone injects you daily with fluoride, meth and other neuro toxins would it still not bring you back down to ordinary consciousness or lower if you don't believe it can? I guess that could make sense since many of us I assume have heard the story of ram das, neem karoli baba and the lsd. But it seems like you could be unenlightened that way considering the use of nootropics, a healthy diet and excercise is essential for this work. You have to cleanse the mind and body to make it easier to realize the true self is beyond mind and body. So wouldn't it work in reverse? LoL ? Never played that particular one. Why, does it do a good job portraying the dreamlike qualities of life?

The body and even more so the mind is very much like a prison for most of us. So by terminating the body, maybe there would be a chance to somewhat control the transition process. Because it's all you and all one anyway right? Does the unenlightened majority lose lucidity between lives rendering them incapable of doing anything other than automatically reincarnating? The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep and book of the dead are two interesting books on this matter. Basically they try to raise their awareness to such a degree that they can remain calm and focused through death thus giving them more control. Which must be what you're saying with enlightenment being the only way out. However, there might still be a way to wiggle out of this self imposed trap between lives even if not fully liberated just by remaining calm and lucid. It would stand to reason because with the power of pure consciousness being heavily filtered through the mind and five senses, each death is probably a massive awakening into infinite potential and freedom. I know all these questions come from the limited ego but it still seems very bizzare that god would put itself under such a curse for the purpose of self dicovery. It's almost like a strict contract. I like to think we're more empowered through this whole process but that might just be more delusion. And that analogy would make sense provided you couldn't just jump out the window while it's open and forget about the stank altogether. But it's probably your own house so you can't. So you mean the open window is between lives, closed is the next physical life, and the stench is the source of suffering, correct? If I understand the analogy properly the open window would be the perfect time to throw out the nasty object.

We can never really die because consciousness is eternal. Fair enough. But why assume suicide wouldn't be an effective escape just because you would transition into something else thus not solving anything? This seems to imply there is some type of system, reincarnation or otherwise which makes it impossible to give up the easy way. Since god has infinite possibilities, transcendent of all laws and logic, you should be able to make the choice to completely unmanifest and "delete" yourself such that you go into the non experience of the atheists view of post death. That doesn't seem possible from our present understanding because there is nothing independent of consciousness but hey god can do anything it wants right?

Is this a troll? Wim looks his age, especially considering the amount of physical strain he's went through.

Did I just break the music thread?

Ya. Make damn sure you space out your usage days at least a week in between. The stuff can be a monster to come off of. Pro tip: take 0.5-1g of shroom 60-80mins before your kratom. Wonderful synergy. And always research for possible interactions if you're on other meds.

Well said. When I'm able to push through all the self judgement bullshit and get that pulse to match the beat, it's pure magic! I'll find more stamina than I realized too. The trick is to not take yourself too seriously yet seriously enough to continue long enough to find your "zone" They made a documentary about this stuff called Electronic Awakening. It shows and describes the process of people using music festivals and dance alone to reach higher states of consciousness.

I'd recommend dancing. If the shakes are in fact rooted in emotional/energetic blockages it should be immensely helpful. Any exercise should be helpful but dancing is different. It's like the most free and expressive form of movement. So if you do it, don't worry about what looks cool or not. Turn on your favorite high energy music, move about in every which way and toss yourself around like a madman. Don't limit yourself but also be careful not to injure. Then of course you could do slow dancing or Thai chi style movements.

Recontextualize! Try to find ways it could be the most beautiful thing instead of grim and morbid. No more pain, stress, worry, anxiety etc. And imagine that your loved ones would be in this state of total freedom and be so fully at peace that nothing you could do or not do would disappoint or shame. One way to think about it is that it doesn't even make sense to fear death because once the brain stops functioning it can no longer produce that fear. But then again most people can't just reason their way out of fear so like Karla said, google the shit out of it and see what you can find. Also, think of it this way; if we lived forever without any chance of death, then eventually we would be begging to die just out of sheer boredom. I think this mortal anxiety you're facing will in time and with enough spiritual work, do a full 180 reverse such that it will become a source of joy and inspiration that will actually help you live a productive and fulfilling life.

Here we have two examples of orange attacking green. Not that he doesn't have some good points, but Elliott built his entire career based on orange and has recently made the jump to green so naturally many are pissed off.

Previously posted in the blue thread but decided it belongs here instead. Hank Hill is a classic example of blue but in this picture he's gone full orange. Hope it's relevant.

@28 cm unbuffed I don't think its psychedelics, he's already made several videos about that. My guess would be something like electronic brain stimulation.
