I think the error of thinking that leads to a weird form of Solipsism is exactly expressed in your sentence. When you think it as "your" mind or "my" mind it makes it seem like Mind is owned by self. But no singular self is in possession of universal Mind, rather universal Mind is the container for self.

Yes the metaphor of dissociative personality-disorder is from him but this is how I make sense of these experiences and Solipsism.

And I think the error stems from the premise that we can directly experience and prove All of Truth within our bubble of experience, but we cant prove this premise within our bubble of experience.

I think there is one universal Mind and we all are fundamentally this one universal Mind. But in the same way someone with dissociative personality-disorder can have multiple personalities with different memories and character-traits associated - each of which dont have access into each other although they are running on the same brain - big Mind dissociates into multiple minds/different bubbles of experience, which dont have access into each other as long as they are in the process of dissociation - which is life. When we have an enlightenment-experience or an ego-death experience we lose our identification with ego/self/the body and therefore identify only with this one universal Mind, but as long as the process of life/dissociation is going we still only have access to our own little bubble of experience. Then we have the experience of being this one universal Mind but still only see it from the limited perspective of our bubble of experience and interpret it as Solipsism.

Yes, this feels like the Mother of all of those and my favourite guitar in a song ever

Nice! Reminds me of this one:

Yes, this was great fun! This is another one with Mads Mikkelses, which was very thrilling, although not so much fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieLIOBkMgAQ

This is a good summary of the evidence of creatine on cognitive-performance:

Whereas previously creatine was mostly well known for increasing athletic-performance and used by fitness-people and bodybuilders recently way more people started talking about the cognitive-benefits of creatine and these seem to be more accentuated on higher dosages:

Yes, I love taking creatine but I cant since it increases hair-loss and hair-thinning for me.

With Qualia Mind the quality of my meditation is noticably increased. Oxiracetam sounds pretty interesting for meditation since it enhances the senses, I need to try it, but so far I only got my hands on Piracetam, Aniracetam and Noopept.

I honestly think they go very well together. Being in a state of presence and clarity is the best state to be in in order to be effective in any domain of life. Also being more aware of unconscious-patterns, ego/shadow-projections, being aware of how your mind works and being able to get out of dysfunctional thought-loops will make you more effective in general. Basically you will "get out of your own way". You should check out Peter Ralstons work. It is deep existential investigation and at the same time very practical and "down to earth". Peter Ralstons Book on Mastery is specifially applying consciousness work towards mastery and principles of effectiveness in general. The only "problem" might be that in the process of pursuing spirituality earnestly you might discover the superficiality of your motivations and goals and will find new ones.

Yes it is definitely a form of lying and manipulation. And I also think it is most damaging to our children and our youth. A few weeks ago I heard a girl sincerely saying that she likes talking about her issues with ChatGPT because ChatGPT does have high emotional-intelligence.

"And if you think about it, we unconsciously judge large chunks of our lives by how much time we get to spend in that Selfless, Timeless, Effortless and Rich zone of Kairos." I really enjoyed reading this blogpost by Jamie Wheal, you should read it too!: https://jamiewheal.substack.com/p/hows-now-brown-cow?publication_id=998820&post_id=171566375&isFreemail=true&r=hus3e&triedRedirect=true

Breaking Open the Head by Daniel Pinchbeck was the most interesting book on psychedelics I read. Chris Bache is on my reading list.

I recommend all you guys to study IanMcGilchrist. Im currently working through his magnum-opus: "The Matter with Things" and it is probably my #1 favourite philosophy book I ever read. It is comparable with Ken Wilbers: "Sex, Spirituality and Sexuality" in its scope and inclusiveness but it somehow stays more open and has a less rigid system. A lot of phenomenon you see in our current environment make a lot of sense through its frame of the two brain-hemispheres. Here is a good short introduction:

Yes, for me Cro was also my generation and youth. I remember we skipped school to buy the Raop box when it came out and wearing the way too large shirt to school next day Then Cro became lame till Baum dropped and I was full on again.
