Someone here

Of course it all boils down to fear of pain . All these examples are to be faced with fear because they cause pain. Pain and pleasure are what the entire drama of life and existence is about. Pain and pleasure are the real God that got people by the balls . Not some unconditional love and who knows what . If you observe most people..all they are doing is trying to maximise pleasure and minimise pain. Even people who say I only care about truth..he wants truth because its pleasurable to know the truth and painful to not know .

Happy for you. Life has ups and downs obviously you are not gonna feel depressed forever nor enthusiastic forever. Both are transient and part of life .

@UnbornTao You don't know what the word "fear" means ? Do you need to go look it up in the dictionary? Are you gonna go Ralston mode on me once again ? Please don't tell me you gonna ask me what is (X) ad infinitum.

Correct me if I'm wrong ..you're saying you become one of a kind person. Like Neo exiting the matrix and you have a totally different worldview ..motivations..goals..etc than the majority of people in society? If that's what you mean then what I said is accurate. All of us already believe we are doing this .

Yes ..all of us .The truth is that every single person in the world thinks of himself or herself as the most badass hotshot ever . Not just paranoid and narcissistic people but everyone . We all believe we are the main character in this movie called life . My sister's husband has been diagnosed with lungs cancer just few weeks ago yet he literally told me I'm not going to die ever. I'm not joking ..he doesn't care .

But you said before you're done with it all and just want to collapse and relax in some cave just like Someone here 😂? @James123 you mean YOLO?

@Princess Arabia disentangle yourself from this mess . You have nothing to prove to anybody . Just report the posts and move on .

Sorry but how do you know that for sure ?

@Kid A she is not her. Since when did preety talk about no-self and the absolute with such passion?

Is that unconditional? How long you gonna stay present? Can you stay present when you are forced to plan your future in life like a job meeting for example? Fear is what drives you in life . If you don't have any fear you will literally die.

That's not the point of this thread . Anyone can poke in his imagination and bring forth a thousands different horrific scenarios. Because the mind's capability of imagination is infinite . But the "link " is that infinite potential means infinite actual. If you can imagine you're being crossified then this abstract idea in your mind is inevitable part of reality. Otherwise you couldn't think it . Same applies to all the crazy shit I mentioned in OP. Pretty scary huh ? But What can be done to change this ?

But they are going to die .either you will die before them or they will die before you . Can't get around that. How are you dealing with this fear ?

Why should i say that ?am I a starving kitten dying in the freezing winter and you picked me up or something?

This is so easy to get once you get it you can't "unget" it lol.. And it sticks with you forever. Makes you peaceful sometimes when shit doesn't go your way. But I'm not sure why most people don't get this .then I think the whole point is that the "people " who don't grasp this are what's being called an illusion in the first place 😂..omg existence is such an absolutely absurd cosmic joke . I get upset that my family members don't get no-self but isn't no self the realization that there are no "family members " 😂?

PM me how you got the DMT please If its not against guidelines. Cool experience BTW.
