This is why the really deep awakenings are mostly indescribable. Even to describe everything is to leave all of the most important ungraspable feelings out of the story. God and enlightenment can never be described in any full way.

Psychedelics taken in the proper way are known to stop this fear. They’ve done studies with magic mushrooms which were really positive. They cured this fear for myself.

I don’t think anyone here is confused that they are just a tool. We know that people who do psychedelics recreationally get nowhere with this stuff normally. You have valid points. I just hope no one serious enough to get on the forum needs them. Stop with the 1% stuff though. How much a certain tool or practice makes up someone’s spiritual path in the best way is not something you can put numerical limits on and expect success.

I had an awakening recently which honestly points me into the serious consideration that I’m some angelic being sent in some type of matriarchy of soldiers to explore consciousness and go to new depths. This was the first time I experienced my angelic suit of armor. It was in every cell it felt like. It felt more real than a human body. It operated in symbiosis with my human system and already knew what to do like instinct. The angel cried on my heart twice which was the deepest love I have ever received. I got to see how the angels were operating in every facet of existence. There is a deep elegance, honor, and respect they have for all of reality. This was Divinity. So I guess some operations on Divine angel squad of awakening for a while would be cool. I mean it was in my direct experience, so is it really far-fetched compared to anything else? We have no clue what’s in the future especially if you’re pursuing awakenings often. I’ve had things for years giving me information to signal that I’m beyond normal human origins with multiple hints at an angelic connection. Maybe it’s true.

Thanks man. I’m getting there.

Exactly how it is that it happens. Except I’d rather not have it happen that way.

You’re always been fully liberated. You just can’t believe it.

Psychedelics can activate many of the other methods you mentioned so that they actually work for people. If you want to make it 1%, that’s fine. That would have been a stupid choice for my life just speaking for myself.

I hope that works out for you. Being free is not necessarily a good thing forever, and beauty, positivity, bliss, and heavenly experiences all have an ugly side inherently tied into them which you will not escape from for long. I still think it’s totally worth going for if it’s your thing, but I figured I’d mention some downsides.

I’ve been doing heart & crown chakra work, meditating, working on psychic capabilities with the focus being clairsentience, listening to new videos, going over the ancient texts again, practicing jhanas, tons of contemplation, really spent a lot of time getting into Buddhism, working on bhakti, karma, jnana, and as a result raja yoga, done a handful of surprisingly effective spells/Magick, and used THC as a psychedelic among plenty of smaller things. THC has become incredibly potent for me after starting with traditional psychedelics. It now works as a way to produce more intense experiences into new territories of consciousness on a regular basis without the drawbacks of using serotonergic psychedelics. It can take me to or even beyond the expected strength of experience from heroic dose trips on other psychedelics sometimes. These experiences happen both with and without THC, but it is a potent and rather reliable catalyst. This all took me much further than I could have expected honestly. Nothing can prepare you.

Psychedelics helped activate my crown chakra and other more subtle chakras such as the forehead chakra focused on power. That one really gave me the self confidence upgrade necessary to deal with divine and profane forces. Crown chakra development was my main goal a few months into this year and sped up my progress a lot. It taught me I could have awakenings without psychedelics or meditation. Learn to control your chakras, develop your ability to access jhanas, and then take psychedelics and being well beyond Buddha is possible for you in my opinion. You’ve got a lot of advantages in 2021.

The most important and lasting enlightenment experience I had was all about understanding rather than an emotion. Of course it still felt good emotionally, but seeing through the illusion of enlightenment so fully that your ability to have ever gained or lost it is satisfying in its own right. It’s right under your nose. I think people giving only positive responses are probably in the honeymoon stage of enlightenment if we’re to compare it to relationships. It can get incredibly nihilistic and horrendous when contemplated and experienced deeper. Questions such as “when does it end?” or “is there ever truly a break?” become concerning once you’ve gone into the territory where love becomes too intense and now is a negative feature of experience.

I loved to lay in bed and listen to this Tao Te Ching audiobook when I had issues with doership and the ego.

Sounds like a pretty strong experience. There’s plenty more though. Keep going.

I used to think in a very similar way. I still agree with most of what you’ve said, but just be careful with psychedelics or any spiritual techniques. They might make you unstable at times, and only you can know if that trade off is worth it.

They are trying to get people to realize either Self (Universal Self)/God or No Self. Both can be helpful for liberation.

Why are you assuming their must be a being?

There is just an edge of a present moment as a self, but even this edge can stop. Nothing lasts forever. Everything is change in an infinitely complicated way as far as the eye can see and in fact much further. Everything is Buddha. Nothing is Buddha.

These aren’t proofs. They are more accurately called assumptions to start from, which could be true or false. There is no proof inherent in any of what is written here.

What do you think? What has it solved for you?

I’ve had more intense trips from THC than most people have had in their entire lives. Once you start getting into mixed jhana territory sober, THC is a completely different compound. It used to just make me a little high, horny, and lazy way back when I started. It’s crazy to see the progression. The deepest awakening I’ve ever had was on THC. Dabs seem to be the most effective but also the least predictable. Edibles are more predictable but less potent. Smoking or vaping is hit or miss. THC did not have this effect until I had done multiple heroic doses of normal psychedelics and had many psychiatric events which probably changes how my body processes THC.

There is no ground other than here, but even here and now constantly is in flux to never truly be grasped. This is the end of existentialism, and it is a brutal crescendo before all beings which might inhabit the space.

I have a memory of enlightenment always being the case and an even better enlightenment being the only possibility for my future which work on the bipolar manic type 1 (look up in DSM 5) powers of the mind to a full degree to produce a present moment awareness which reinforces my own bullshit musings of however I think about my reality into more or less measurable changes within my reality. A big part of the teaching was to lose you somewhere in there. It’s to show the separation in our experience, but I’m telling you here and now that we are having more of the same experience than it would be right to say our experience is different. I’m just accessing this through the bipolar brain matrix while you have a more or less neurotypical experience.

You should approach aspects of this work with fear and anxiety. Modern enlightenment teachings take the “fear of God” out of things entirely which is not wise for those who are not ready to have their consciousness slammed against the anvil of God to beat out impurities. Notice that I’m pulling up shadow aspects of your psyche. You wouldn’t have this anxious feeling if it were not the case.
