@BipolarGrowth The only Magick-like thing I can do these days (well, besides witnessing and automatic contemplation) is astral projection. It does feel like a sort of miracle. I can literally walk through my house, look at myself sleeping, etc. I mean, it's damn mind-blowing, but it's not something manifested in the "real" (consensual) world. When I had psychosis, I saw many "miracles" but it was clearly madness and not in consensual reality -- at least not anyone's reality on earth lol. Aliens maybe. I am convinced that powers can be cultivated via the 4th Jhana. You pretty much need retreats for that. Rob Burbea even said one can attain powers in the 4th Jhana, and if you know anything about him, he's pretty much gone further than anyone in history in the meditation landscape, and he's ultra down to earth. I VERY highly doubt he was either mistaken or lying.

He didn't. I said "a miracle is all there is" and he agreed. The way I see it: he was simply proposing, with enough consciousness and selflessness, perhaps a miracle can be performed by an apparent individual. And he conveyed a desire to understand just what that (process/event) would be/mean.

Andy Cutler Onibasu Longer rounds are better. Less than 72 hours of ALA every 3 hours is not enough for healing/damage ratio to be a positive number. 1+ week is even better. ALWAYS STOP ALA BEFORE DMSA if taking them together. Or stop them at the same time, but NEVER stop DMSA before ALA -- it can cause brain damage.

To be alpha is simply to not try to be alpha. Having less need and less self consciousness.

I've had the exact same experience with the lights (and similar miraculous events but less personal; more like guardian angel type experiences; not what you're talking about). And I share that same intuition that one can literally do anything with enough consciousness. It's just lack of consciousness, and perhaps identification with an arbitrarily unpowerful aspect of the whole, which limits one's abilities. And there are perhaps some other complications that haven't become clear enough for me to write down or convey, but they seem to be there. Perhaps identification with the whole would have to act through your seen-as-empty limited body-mind. "You" probably could not choose it in the normal way we think of choice.

And expect no more than 1-4 of those 10-20 to be successful, btw.

Just saying: almost no girlfriends I ever had cared if I watched porn. Not that I did very often. The type I end up with seems to rarely ever care about that. Most of them owned vibrators, etc, and sometimes watched porn themselves.

Oh dear... When there's no one dreaming, no one else is dreaming either. Multiplicity is singularity.

Well, as a start: Miracle = Desire + responsibility for everything (being love). Getting to the bottom of something always starts with dumb baseless claims. What about x? Obviously not. What about y? Clearly that's dumb. z? Maybe? Etc.

It was UTTER spur of the moment explosion of speculation. A miracle is all there is.

@Leo Gura Best pointer based on my experience seems to just be "no separation." Once you trip (or maybe a few can do it sober) with enough awakening, the experience will be of "no separation." Infinity is zero is you is me is everything is this is God is Love.

Yeah I was just speculating on how a miracle can somehow be chosen. Not speaking highly of anything egoic in any way whatsoever. Ego ain't my friend. You misunderstood. It seems you thought I was translating what you wrote into my own interpretation. That's not what I did. The sentence: "Egoic desire clung to and dragged into / mixed with God-realization?" Was merely a speculation on what exactly a miracle might be. That's it. Wasn't related to your desire for understanding (which I share).

Egoic desire clung to and dragged into / mixed with God-realization? I don't know either, but I have a strong intuition it's possible. @BipolarGrowth might agree. Apart from the miracle that this absolutely is already, of course.

EXACTLY. It takes a lot more steadiness and actually time for LUCK to manifest itself than people assume, for the gears to really start moving. You gotta do it in concentrated blocks of basically planned obsession. There isn't one word I'm typing that isn't recognized as completion of the absolute. I'm contemplating at all times.

Right choice is wholeness. Wrong choice is wholeness.

Unconditional love ain't always pretty. In fact, it can be absolutely brutally awful. Just the way it is. You can't escape unconditional love though. No matter how hard you try.

When nothing is left, there isn't anything left to be deluded or confused about.

Just thought about sharing this. When doing nearly 24/7 contemplation or self inquiry, you may notice your preferences changing. It would be prudent to ensure this is actually fruitful. After all, you want to be your true self in every sense of the word. If you like pop music and you find yourself doing nothing but deep contemplation or if you consume any media, it's basically just food for the spiritual ego... This could be an issue. You can test this by listening to a song that you used to like a lot (with decent listening equipment / headphones) -- if the rest of that day seems more spiritually fruitful, you may have let part of your true self preferences fall by the wayside. Just a suggestion. EDIT: it can, however, be an authentic change.

@flyingwhalee This timeless everything doesn't move. It's not real. It's not unreal.

After awakening you still deal with karmic debris, but additional karma doesn't seem possible as personal doer-ship is seen through. All there is, is timeless everything, and there's nowhere else to be and no need for anything, so guilt and other karmic forces like that are pretty much nonsensical.

You do go back to "normal" but yeah you face your own death. It feels like becoming everything and taking full responsibility for everything. This kills the ego with unconditional love. Somehow you're paradoxically in God mode forever and then you create time again and come back to normal. Realizing the infinite usually comes before God realization -- you can get your foot in the door so to speak on realizing the infinite by imagining every possible situation branching into different paths in time, and visualizing everything as not just everything in an exclusive now, but everything beyond time such that all now's are one, in a timeless no-thing that never moves, and is indescribable because it's truly infinite. Good luck. It'll kill you, but you'll almost certainly survive. There seems to be a chance you won't come back but I have no evidence of that ever happening. And yeah obviously I'm speaking from experience. Not making this shit up by any means. I can get there with contemplation, self inquiry, and more often ketamine + LSD. Just what works for me. I have a feeling the substance Leo may reveal soon might be more conducive for most. Or just go with the tried and true: contemplation (years) + deconstruction (years) + 5-MeO-DMT.

@Javfly33 In the end, anything other than exactly what happens would be: worse, not what God most longs for, and impossible.

Unconditional Love ' ing Nothing being everything This wholeness does not move. Ever.

@Endangered-EGO Interesting that deep realizations for you are associated with actions viewed from the other side as events and lies that caused later shame and guilt. For me, what's associated with these glimpses when seen from the other side, is wasted time. Every time. I've gone entire days just driving around amazed at how it's all just happening without me. Awareness of gravity completely gone and there's just sensations, driving, and ego death. Can't get anything important done in that state. I guess I could lie like to a police officer but for the most part lying is out of the question in that state. This was not under the influence of psychedelics, btw. I'd never drive on substances.
