What exactly did you expect? lol A perfectly logical solution that condenses infinite reality into a nice little package wrapped with a pretty little bow?

I can personally verify that the higher jhanas can blow 5-MeO-DMT out... At least in some sense. YET, if one has the ability to enter jhanas, and they use that skill on 5-MeO-DMT, it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be more intense in most cases. But the skill required to enter higher jhanas can take a long, LONG time to develop. And it seems not everyone can do it.

Party pooper ? There is only the goal; the sought; wholeness; allness — that which has no other obviously has no escape, and no better.

Enlightenment is searching for enlightenment, just for the hell of it. Nobody is enlightened. Yet, when the self dies, there is only life.

Simplest pointer: imagine the scenario “I forgive you”; “And I forgive you” couplet is as equally valid as anything else for every single possible 2 person duo in every apparent circumstance.

Rock your head from side to side lightly like a sort of hinge. It can start to happen automatically and it becomes obvious that it’s happening without a doer, kind of like auto-breathing — not surprising... What is literally unbelievably surprising, on the other hand, is that even the most complex and most (seemingly) personal actions, functions, and activities are all happening (really only appearing) completely on their own — each always with absolutely nothing separate that’s guiding/controlling it or even aware of it... And seemingly tangential to that... There literally isn’t anything outside of this! ? It’s simply the infinite. It is utterly the great and perfect beyond-understanding. When I say there’s no solidity, it’s right after I’m essentially about to say something else (that for a brief moment illusorily seems to be speakable in some way) and simultaneously unceremoniously it is clear that it simply can’t be said. So it seems there’s just no logic to ultimate reality — and no context. And ultimate reality is all there is, which is relative reality, which doesn’t exist, yet is existence, and not even that. No, this won’t help. No, don’t stop trying. No, don’t keep trying. No, don’t try to listen to any of this. No, not even that. Haven’t logged-in in a while. This is just what wanted to come out apparently. Have a nice day. Not that anyone would get the impression, but just in case: I’m not negating the value of meditation any more than anything else including reading this message.

❤️ Yeah that’s why it’s a pointer though. After liberation, forgiveness in the deep sense of the allaying of personal judgement is seen to be an illusion — it’s as if the delay between an action and its forgiveness collapsed, and upon its collapse, forgiveness in that sense doesn’t make sense anymore because it’s obvious there’s no personal action, and no one, to forgive.

Women’s department store like TJ Max or Ross can work especially if you’re rather attractive, as basically all of even your coworkers for God’s sake will be female. But that’s a rather low paying job and I can’t quite really recommend it.

Or that could be in their situation, of course

Yes. It’s eternally, necessarily just out of reach for whoever tries to grasp it. Perfectly so.

Then you’re blind.

Basically none now because I learn from everyone I know of. But overall I’d say Ramana, Culadasa, Rob Burbea, and Leo. But really just everyone. They almost all blend together. Not just people that are obviously wise either... everyone. And plain spontaneity too, though not a person.

I am apparently very attractive but even so, I never got laid easily until doing quite a bit of meditation and mind transformation away from neurotic and insecure tendencies. Then I could “come out of my shell” (? seriously though) and just be a good guy who isn’t intimidated by anything and can very comfortably “be myself.” But I would say, “game” is damn intuitive. If you still need to get the pickup phase out of your system, I highly recommend it, from experience, but not exactly to the degree I believe many others have — though it’s not what you probably think... Imagine going from having no game to then practically merely sticking your toe in that world, getting what you want surprisingly fast, and then miraculously finding super early-on that it’s already enough... That is what happened to me. But I’m certain that I’m extremely “lucky” in that regard. And there’s still more to learn. But the natural game-skill or at least game-mindset was somehow uncovered from a fair amount of experience working in a women’s department store (it wasn’t strictly a shoe store, Leo ).

And the basis of desire (or love) is... nothing i.e. blindly, itself (love/desire). There is nothing with any basis — the ultimate basis is nothing, so there is no real basis or context. That this was or is created, is one such imaginary context; meaning; limit on the unimaginable boundlessness that is everything and nothing.

God is a knowing / awareness. Awareness is a function. But it’s not a function of something in the sense that it’s done by something. It is literally just what appears, without context, and for no reason — meaning is entirely within the story, which isn’t real. There’s just boundless energy, unconfined by meaning or context or control. The unreal aspect of the appearance is simply experiential duality — me and you are not two; aren’t separate things. Can’t get this wrong, but can’t get this right. In a funny way though, it’s a total story but it’s like there is God in a sense — God (I AM) is doing its very best to avoid recognizing that there is no God. Either through belief, or by actually apparently being God in direct experience or direct intuition, or through any other kind of seeking, for that matter.

PSA: Redistribution is caused by falling blood levels of double-thiol chelators (the kind that work). You have to take ALA every 3 hours or more often, otherwise blood levels will fall between doses. DMSA must be taken every 4 hours or more often (I just took it every 3 hours with the ALA). If that's too inconvenient, you can take DMPS (NOT to be confused with DMSA) every 8 hours, which may sound like an attractive option, but DMPS only chelates lead, not mercury (arguably the most problematic metal)... and DMPS is quite a bit more expensive than DMSA and ALA, if that matters to you. Rounds need to be at the very least 72 hours -- that is the bare minimum. Longer is better, within reason, as it reduces the ratio of: time spent in redistribution or damage-mode (which occurs any time blood levels FALL) / time spent in chelation or healing-mode. There is nothing you can do to avoid the falling blood levels when you stop taking the chelator -- it is inevitable. But you can minimize the number of times this has to happen, by... 1. increasing the length of each round 2. taking doses on time and not missing doses. There is nothing wrong with using ALA-only, but it must be taken every 3 hours. It's just faster with DMSA+ALA, and ALA doesn't chelate lead, only mercury. Redistribution completely negates healing. This is why studies on DMSA with an e8h dosing schedule show no benefit other than less heavy metals in the body. DMSA must be taken every 4 hours or more often, for at least 72 hours straight, for cognitive benefits to be a likely result.

Not quite. For a baby there is only what appears. No knowing; duality; better/worse. Just boundlessness appearing. At about 18 months, duality comes online, and at death or enlightenment, it goes away again. Yeah it's complete free fall. Nothing compares because this could not be better, unlike an experience which could always be better.

I don't use it as a synonym for enlightenment. I use it to refer to the effortless blissful state that results from unifying the mind -- Culadasa uses the term Samatha for this.

No way to tell. By samadhi I simply mean effortlessly still attention associated with powerful equanimity, mindfulness, and well-being. TMI is the best guide I know of for how to achieve it, but it's not the only way. Just sitting still for a very, very long time can maybe do it for some, but I would not count on that.

It's just extra energy needing release. The extra energy comes from stillness; the so-called individual parts of the mind no longer fighting with one another so much. Some jump, some scream -- this is just something that can occur. It has been referred to as the development of piti (meditative joy), and it comes with the unification of mind. At first it's bothersome but later it can get (sometimes overly) exhilarating, and eventually it calms down and the extra energy just manifests as samadhi.

“My” is just an expression — obviously there are apparent distinctions; they’re not your feet, are they? ? Even so, nobody said it wasn’t a paradox. There’s no sense here of being someone typing on a phone. There’s just typing on a phone, which is unconditioned and all there is. And it’s not fulfilling in an experiential sense, it’s unimaginably fulfilled — beyond the point where there’d be some need for anything at all, including a creator. Hope that clears up any confusion, but there’s certainly nothing to understand.

I can feel my feet on the ground, the air on my skin, etc. But it's not owned, nor is it fixedly me or not-me, it's just what appears, and all sensations are on the same level -- my hands are, in a sense, no closer to me than the sky because there isn't a me; there's no separation.

In that sense though, there is no present moment -- it's empty. There's only stillness moving, so to speak. Big-NOW, not little-now. NOW = the unmoving that moves and has no other = all there is.

^^ This @WokeBloke Separation is the experiencer, the reality of which is completely illusory. Psst! It's the connection between what is already not separate -- when that is seen, it's beyond mind-blowing, and hilariously unexpected. Nothing is everything, there's no time or space or object or subject or other or self, and there's no history -- only unknowable unboundedness.

Yes. Since there is only God, then you are of course God, in that sense... But there's no separation, location/position, meaning, or other. Many seem to reify God and conceptualize it in some way other than the reality -- that this God is simply all there is, everything and nothing, as well as real and unreal. Yeah, it's complete free fall. Nothing compares because this could not be better, unlike an experience which could always be better.
