Doing psychedelics alone won't fundamentally change you. It is all the work you do in parallel that does it. This is emphasized a lot in the forum. No need to talk as if it is not. But here goes the reminder.

My view of psychedelics is way different. It is exactly because they're challenging that it helps consolidating a pure mind. But as a long term work. Anything can become a trap, at the end you only want happiness. Any effort that will stear you into steady happiness is welcomed. So no, is not wrong but just a method. It might not suit you. Also he might have only tried one psychedelic which wasn't particulrly helpful and he sttoped there. It seems he is just happy without them.

Fine, go ahead I might learn something new.

Ok ok. But in that sense being closer to truth is also used in a broarder sense.

Well, your mind is a master in making stuff up. So no big surprises! That is way patience is so important and not making stupid decisions whilst in the midst of the heat.

Hi. I don't understand how you are able to spot ND people here, but you might be generalizing a bit... or you might not, but where's the evidence? I have a problem with your worldview because what is socially accepted is in most cases mediocrity. I think you have a bias about seeing ND where there is none. But don't get me wrong, I know it is more nuanced. I am just saying I cannot take seriously the seriousness of the phrase "socially acceptable" used as the ultimate goal in your posts.

I would like to but I don't. I did tons of chamanic breathwork and I use controlled breathing to anchor myself in the present when I meditate because it works. I was just commenting on the power of breathing, something that could be taught in schools

@UnbornTaoIf you use psychedelics you're closer to truth but you say otherwise. Obviously there are traps, but you seem to think is not effective at all which it is precisely the trap. You could be highly distracted and not using your mind properly while doing psychedelics in which case you're guaranteed to believe in fantasies. But it is mostly a self-correcting artifact and a mind recalibration tool. You fools can't see that.

The common mistake is people think veganism is spiritual ego because they don't comprehend how that mindset actually works, but it is actually a higher conscious way of living. It entails a more flexible mind which a lot of humans cannot get ahold of. And the mistake some vegans end up doing is they don't correct their nutrition if it goes poorly, at which point they're just masochists.

That's great, but still there is a different recognition about the nature of True Self, or Mind. You can be in that space which you are describing and recontextualize it in the way I just described. You must focus your attention to the fact that the whole experience is one living thing, and it is intelligent. You need to choose it because right now you are choosing being a human and living that limit, which is precisely why you describe what you describe. The room you're in, your body, the objects scattered there, the floor is one living thing and it is not just empty perception, but it is an intelligent being. You are it. Your intellect and genius is a byproduct of it.

@HojoYou might have the motovation or dream to stop eating meat in which case makes a lot of sense for you to pursue that. Then you will realize whatever you need to realize. Play your game which is part of becoming one with the dream.

Training your mind with breathwork is op (overpowered)

What thing do you mean it is hindering your progress? If you ask me, true goodness is managing your nutrition consciously. You would spread more goodness that way. People destroy their lives and other people's lives because of bad diets. And you ask if you could achieve higher states. Corruption might not be necessarily the killing of animals for consumption.

Good for you for making the question. But no, it is not that. It is realizing that you're God creating Reality in this moment. That's really metacognition, not just being aware of thoughts. Being proficient at spotting thoughts is very good for achiving emotional mastery and not getting pulled by petty things. Awakening is an emotional peak, there is nothing like it. It is not casual, it is the most important moment that could exist. Please do not dismiss my answer. Verify it for yourself, you are God.
