I’ve personally experienced spirits, aura-seeing, astral projection, and telepathy. It’s all real, and when I had my first awakening I understood that EVERYTHING is supernatural. Not just spirits. YOU are supernatural as well.

Your avatar and username are genius

I like the “observing the avatar”. It’s a mindfuck.

Ah yeah, fear of ego loss. Just push through it!

Cannabis especially, the first time I tried it when I was 15 was SHOCKING.

Ah, yep. Thanks for expanding. I now agree with you.

What kind of fear? Can you describe it? And like you mentioned, try it at different "places" - It took me a few tries myself to start getting results. But when the shift happens... you'll see it's totally worth it. You're most welcome.

I would (slightly) disagree, in that of course there is no individual / ego self. But infinity is a single self playing all the characters simultaneously through relativity. In this way, all "objects" in the universe are self-illuminated. Thoughts?

@JontyI completely disagree. I've had massive realizations on cannabis that elevated my consciousness to almost unbearable limits. And I've met many psychonauts that are completely stumped when I bring up nonduality.

Another analogy is that you are a black hole, and reality is your event horizon, frozen in eternity.

Yes! Very good example. Also, thank you for mentioning relativity — which is how Infinity experiences all of these hallucinations (oops, I mean Lives) simultaneously.

Yes you are, lol

When I say "you" I mean empty awareness/mind. That is what you truly are. The body, the world and everything else you perceive is a projection emanating from you. Pure mind. When you look at a tree, realize that there is nothing behind that tree. You may think that there are more trees, fields, a "world" out there behind the physical tree. But in reality, what you are seeing is a completely flat experience. There is literally *nothing* behind the tree you are seeing. Think of a VR set. When you put it on and you see the VR world, do you think there is a "world" behind what you see? Nope. You can verify this for yourself with a bit of concentration / consciousness work And thanks! Figured a visual would be easier to understand.

Many awakenings on weed. The THC % is super important. I get it medically here in FL and it’s usually around 30 - 32% where I get from. That’s pretty high in case you don’t know. Weed caused one of my biggest awakenings ever. It’s definitely a tool. I would classify weed as a psychedelic - but quality matters.

You / I know right! ?

@Adamq8 that’s exactly right. When you are “walking” you’re not moving at all. You are stationary. The “world” comes to you. The “universe” comes to you, because you’re literally walking, ultimately, into the formless void. You have never gone anywhere. LOL When your awareness shifts to this it is QUITE amazing. Even going to the grocery store is mind blowing. Like “whoa” from my perspective I have no face? Instead I have the world? The most obvious thing. Enlightenment is ultimately hilarious.

@Dazgwny You're framing the entire viewpoint based on your current understanding of space, and time. The answer is super simple. Everyone you see around you is YOU reincarnating into them. They are your "past" and "future" lives. The guy at the grocery store is YOU reincarnating as them. You = Everyone. You are probably thinking about reality as a spatial system. It is not. Reality is a hologram generated by the mind of ONE self. There is no physical universe. What you see in front of you is a projection emanating from you, as if you were a black hole and the event horizon was reality. This way the universe does not have to exist physically. It gets generated when a "character" or "ego" needs to interact with it. That's why your consciousness is partitioned as an ego, so that you can have an individual point of view as that character. Other humans are as real as you are... because they are you. When "my" life ends for example, I will pop into another story for a lifetime, and on and on. You = Me = Everyone. That's what oneness is. It's not that there is a physical universe and we're inside of it. No no no. It's dreams, couched within dreams, couched within dreams. One self living through it all, forever.

This question is related to @Leo Gura's video "Comprehending the Magnitude of Reality." at minute 9:27. What is infinite resolution? Does it mean that if I pull out my hand, and start to zoom into it, it goes on forever? Does that imply reality is a never-ending fractal?

@Leo Gura That is mindblowing. It's like those mandelbub videos on YouTube. Thanks for responding, very much appreciate your attentiveness.

My friends, I felt like sharing this which is weighing heavy on my heart. Ive experienced almost daily awakenings where I’ve become absolute infinity and seen reality suspended inside of my awareness. Ive had the experience of being awareness itself. You can go back and read the other threads I’ve posted. I write this with tears in my eyes, as I’ve fallen into a deep depression / nihilistic mood where I don’t see the point of my ego’s petty life. Each awakening keeps revealing to me the truth that I am all alone. It’s a combo of nihilism and solipsism. Being at home almost 24/7 due to the outbreak of COVID in Florida has made this especially tricky to manage. I thought consciousness work would improve my life, but it hasn’t been the case. I am not sure if this is what others call “The Dark Night of the Soul” but any advice would be welcome. I am going through an incredibly tough time and no one understands the things I’ve directly become conscious of. I cannot unsee what I have seen. Sometimes I regret taking this path. ?

Yep, that is the same realization that has helped. It’s true.

@Someone here If you'll indulge me for a second... Is there depth to the visual field? In other words, when I "look" at a scene, is there just nothingness behind the colors and perceptions I am seeing? Or is three-dimensionality actually real? If I look at a tree, is there something behind the tree? Or am I just looking at a flat rendering/projection emanating from myself? That is the part that gives me pause.

Friends, thank you so much for all of your input. This helped me tremendously. I am happy to report that I am passing through the gate and seeing the light.

I LOVE this fella, Morgue. I've exchanged emails with him before and his interpretation of Ontological Mathematics is extremely interesting.

Huh?
