The0Self

Thank you. What also helped was eating a diet style discussed often on raypeatforum.com Basically minimizing: polyunsaturated fat, iron, fiber, endotoxin, serotonin/tryptophan, estrogen, phosphate to calcium ratio. And maximizing: metabolic rate, T4->T3 conversion.

Thinking that one is an ego, yes.

@BipolarGrowth I would assume I was just coming up with excuses for not renouncing the little self that looks away from the Self because it can’t handle the intensity of the love. That’s what my response to myself would be.

Definitely try Ray Peat style eating or at least peruse raypeatforum.com Serotonin, allergens and microbes, estrogen, and polyunsaturated fat can wreak havoc on your system. The amino acid ratio of the protein you eat matters; the ratio of calcium to phosphate matters, phenols and salicylates can cause issues if sulfation status is off. Like a dozen other things could be the issue. Andy Cutler and Ray Peat both have a good life purpose rooted in this work, available to the public. onibasu was the Andy cutler site I think

I think the best way to tell if you’re toxic is not the lab tests. Rather, it is feeling into just how whack ingesting 1-10mg of ALA makes you feel, lol. It’ll move stuff around since it has a double thiol group and since it’s lipid soluble and bbb permeable, it’ll create significant psychological effects. These metals, especially along with polyunsaturated fat, serotonin, and estrogen can wreck the thyroid among other things.

Yep. This is the only way. But if one does ALA for mercury and lead it’s kinda dangerous as one must literally take it every 3 hours at the least often (for about a week straight and then at most a week break otherwise it’ll take an insanely long time) and that includes through the night. And it takes years. Though I didn’t do it for years — just 6 months or so. I honestly think it helped a lot. Basically no health issues to speak of now and yet I’ve been diagnosed with narcolepsy in the past. and btw those 6 months were basically straight with no break. DMSA and ALA. Had to take so much molybdenum and zinc all throughout the day to keep copper down.

There is God/That. Recoiling from this or venturing outward from it is what makes the universe seem to exist.

A big part of the game seems to be feeling into ways of letting go so that you can stop putting up all the barriers, delays, and excuses that keep you from being established in reality.

Proof still requires assumptions, such as the world is real, thus proof does not actually exist. These are all just excuses to keep on dreaming endless thoughts.

If it feels like you can only "do it right" when you're sitting down in a quiet place with your legs crossed, work towards getting to the point where you can constantly see that you are aware of everything you experience, thus not the experiences/thoughts, but the awareness itself. Not awareness as you know it, as what you are is not known to anyone. If it feels like you've gotten an answer as to what the I is or where it is coming from, that's just the mind playing tricks, be aware of it and intend to increase consciousness and increasingly look forwards to the "goal" until no detours or excuses exist. Basically every thought is just that: an excuse.

Rationality, laws of physics, judging, not judging, everything, nothing. These are all merely obstructions you've set before yourself because you're putting off love and renunciation of the mind until a so called later date.

Off topic but just in case anyone sees, since people are talking about this ROA a lot here... I very recently used 150ug LSD-25 rectally. To anyone under the impression this will make the experience significantly briefer, you’re right, but barely. I was informed that it would be a 4 hour experience more or less in total. More like 6 hours of intensity and back to baseline by T+12h. Very long still. Peaked way faster than buccal but still wasn’t peaked until T+2h or so, which was very surprising.

Not only that. In one of my college courses, down south, back in 2012, there were legitimately several people in the class (some of them girls) who were actually shocked that you could be married and also raped-by/rape your spouse. So that law was apparently an intuition that never died... In 2012 at that place anyway. Interesting quirks in this love simulator...

We’re all just pretending that we aren’t god. We can’t handle it’s incredible profundity and infinite magnitude, so we hold back. To the degree that you aren’t all that is, you’re pretending to be this or that.

@Enlightenment Kenneth Folk is awesome. I was just amazed because I used to follow Frank Yang back before either of us seemed to be spiritually inclined.

Lol he follows Kenneth Folk

@Some Fella Hey! We don't take kindly to Sam Harris fans around here... lol. He got me into meditation in the first place so I have a soft spot for the man.

Existence needs nothing. Nothing needs existence.

Reality is working to save itself from untruth and pain and unnecessary suffering. Through a process of Self-discovery. Save itself from who? From itself. This painful process is the cure in itself.

God-realization is inseparable from ego death.

Try Ray Peat's diet forum if you really want to get into the weeds. There is so much conflicting info out there it's insane. Some basics: PUFA (soy, nuts, seeds, vegetable oil) is usually bad. Sugar is not poison. Saturated fat is not poison. Whole grain is not healthy. Serotonin is a major cause of diet related health issues. Protein is good. Good luck...

I even highlighted one of his virtues in the very comment you quoted.

Trump is a conscientious narcissist, who never forgives, is obsessed with strength, and never takes responsibility for mistakes. It’s understandable that he would do what he does, given his disposition.

Exactly, the only escape is INTO life, and out of the small self. And it won’t be a perfect transition, either.

I'm not entirely clear on omniscience, but I have definitely experienced gradations of it on proper doses of psychedelics, especially when combined with meditation and dissociatives -- would not recommend to anyone else, as I easily could have gone insane. I saw and became everything. Absolute Infinity. Literally everything is, and God has to suffer through it all to give birth to it, by experiencing it and being it, and beyond that, infinitely, having given up its self-concern entirely. It is beyond mere understanding. If you try to comprehend it, you will become more ignorant as a result.
