@RendHeaven Those people are at their worldview, there is no getting to them and there is no need. Since you'd just be telling it to yourself. You are all alone and there is no need for them to "grasp" some concept that's just mentally constructed. There is only direct experience, all of this intellectualizing does not do much. But if you REALLY want to have a conversation with, let's say orange about consciousness. A good way would be to question their worldview, so you get them thinking on their own. Examples are like "how quantum physics disproved materialism many many years ago", "how can you trust your own perspective", "how can you trust scientists".

@Thewritersunion It's not about remembering, it's about understanding.

@LfcCharlie4 Yeah, the time will come slowly but surely, but not for a looong time in China.

You feared it because it's TRUE

@DreamScape You won't find any answers here. Turn inward and be patient, these questions will be answered with time and silence.

@LfcCharlie4 Let's hope some positives come out of this disease, particularly animal rights in China, and this is a nice warning for a future pandemic. We're lucky this one doesn't have an E-bola death rate.

@LfcCharlie4 My family is all Liverpool, I'm not big on any one team in the league. I like to watch mostly Liverpool, Arsenal, and City games from time to time. But I focus more on the NBA, which it's season just got suspended, so no more games there and I expect the same to happen within the epl.

@LfcCharlie4 Are you a Liverpooler?

@Adam M Right on!

I've taken LSD in a lucid dream, it felt exactly like the "real" thing.

@RendHeaven There is no convincing those people. They will have to find their own way. It's best to get this urge of wanting to tell everybody that you know more and they are wrong out of the way. If you're a yellow or above in this world, you're like a green person in the 1800's. Society is spiritually retarded and that's okay. We're not as advanced of a species as our technology would indicate. So don't expect people to just understand all this consciousness talk. It's best to just nudge people in the right direction.

@NatureB Yes, grind'em up and into the lemon juice. If you want a real DMT level trip, take 5g lemon-tek, silent darkness.

@NatureB If you add them into pure 100% lemon juice, you won't get any nausea, and the trip might be much more of a "blast in the face" and possibly twice as strong, but it does shorten it by an hour or two.

@okulele Thanks! I completely agree that re-reading is the most essential part of reading. One should read a book at least 5 times over, or until it really sticks. And also the most important part, to question every part of the way. Never giving away your authority.

Yeah, I hear you on that, often for example when I "try" to do nofap, it usually ends up collapsing a week or two in. But sometimes when I just quit because I don't feel like doing it and the timing feels right, I can go on for a month or two with ease. Then there is no barrier which I can break down and fail, because It originated out of self-love instead of some sort of ego manipulation, same with eating healthy. Truly is weird.

The question is, would it be coming from total self-love since god loves having no limbs just as much as any limbs. Would he have any need to grow it back?

You have to develop a habit and a learning space. You learn in a place where you do nothing but that. Whether it's your kitchen, some other room, or a coffee shop. After some time, your mind will automatically go into learning mode when you enter that space. You also can build a habit like always drinking cacao, or coffee when you're about to go learn. All this should in a week or two lead to a more disciplined headspace.

Elaborate pls?

These are just fun discussions, I like how different perspectives from different cultural upbringings and teachings, and how they can play a role in how we think differently but ultimately agree on the fundamental same thing. https://actualized.org/insights/dpt-the-other-god-molecule Watch from 48:40 till the end. Don't take the psychedelic part to heart. I know your stance on them isn't denial such as Leo points out in the vid . But the part about embodiment and experiences. Ultimately I like discussing these things back and forth because I like "you". This is the fun part about forums.

@LfcCharlie4 I'd call that false self, not ego. Ego to me is your sense of reality, your memory of how to eat and put clothes on, your memory of a childhood and every little thing that stood out and stuck to your individuality. Full ego death can make one forget which mouth to put food into because there never was a you or another. Ego is that which makes your body not turn into bread after you eat bread, there is embedded ego intelligence which goes all the way back to the origin of this imagination. With total full awakening, there never even was such a thing as an I or YOU, that concept completely melts away. It was all imagination, so saying I AM is even wrong because there never was such a thing. Or I AM YOU, that too would be wrong. Because that was all just imagination, other and I, never was such a thing. Ramana and Nisargadatta never existed, you imagined they existed. You imagine them, then you imagine they know something you don't, thus...authority.

@Bill W ????

Why would god fear itself? The ego fears god because it has to face "death". @Inliytened1 Perfectly put sir!

I'd agree with that, maybe a little more green though, like 15-20% green and 5-10% blue, rest is orange.

@LfcCharlie4 But who is it that wants to do all these things? It's the sneaky ego, which can still be present after self-realization. 100% ego death is the most insane thing one can experience. I've not been there all the way, but close. To the point where you realize all of the 14 billion years, all trail back to the starting point where god forgot who he was. Thus, utter insanity.
