But if there's no knower left, then there's not someone who doesn't know anything. There's just the infinite playing.

I loved that guy! He was banned? That sucks.

Fair enough.

No notion of religion even came up until I just read that -- i.e. I didn't mean it like that. Belief in God is perfectly fine, it's just not true. I merely detected a way of speaking that indicated belief in separation, which I've recognized to be illusory. I could be misunderstanding the intention of your words entirely. But religion certainly has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Again, it didn't even come up until now, and even now it means nothing to me. EDIT -- Oh yeah, the word religion was in another comment I quoted... From user, "Batman." Yeah, I didn't really focus on the word, I was in solidarity with him merely in disposition and general sentiment, in a sort of tough love kind of way.

SIMPLY: Hold the intention to: emit appreciative joy whenever you realize your attention is on something other than the meditation object, and then gently and firmly place attention back on the object. That's it. It means exactly what it says. You can get addicted to thoughts later, after you've accessed super-mind -- you will get closer by following the bolded words in this post until your attention is effortlessly rock-steady on the object. Then your mind becomes extremely powerful.

True. Not resonating. I would never say something like that. For me to say something like that, I'd have to be coming from an imaginary position separate from God. What God is, cannot be believed in, nor can it be denied. And God doesn't exist as some thing. You could say God is an appearance of the absolute, and it is synonymous with you and I. ^^ Only Love survives.

It is actually possible to come close at least, but with a very strange vibe, but probably only if one has previously had a true God realization with something like 5-MeO-DMT or LSD-25. I do find LSD-25, 5-Meo, and ketamine to be far more useful. If I had more experience with DPT I'd probably add that too, but I can't personally verify that one as being in the same category as the 3 I listed.

It's like forgetting your whole life and then you automatically without intention create the entire universe, including 5-MeO-DMT itself, and the universe begins anew. With you exactly where you, God, most long to be. You have infinite power to create your own reality, and you're always doing it, but you might be a bit more comfortable just staying in the illusion that you created, rather than breaking out of it. Ultimately there is no illusion though, this is just it.

@lark Love it. If I'm getting into airy fairy land I can ground yourself with melodic pop like this and just feel the simple love: Also Ariana Grande, Adele, Kelly Clarkson, etc... It works lol.

It can apparently unravel. For instance it can become obvious that this is the Big Bang right now, and the Big Crunch as well. Life and death not just simultaneous, but also synonymous. No time, nothing left at all but perfect unconditional love, void of all righteousness.

Lol that's interesting. Even a little of some psychedelic added to another can really change the mechanics of the trip. Mushrooms and LSD interact in a very magical way even when one of them is basically microdosed. I don't know man. What do you feel the most powerful psychedelic is for you? I find LSD-25, 5-MeO-DMT, and ketamine to be the most effective for spiritual growth and exploration/expansion. What about you? I mention this because I've tried many LSD analogues -- AL-LAD, 1P-LSD, etc -- and while they all feel almost exactly like LSD-25, they don't even compare in their ability to produce the state of rock solid infinite understanding / God-realization. LSD-25 is king, in my experience. It just sucks how long the trip is, and in that sense I think 5-MeO may be a bit more powerful all things considered. Ketamine is a very good one too. And yes, any breakthrough experience, the kind that 5-MeO is likely to produce, can affect the character of future trips -- you almost "go back where you left off," in a sense. Doesn't have to be 5-MeO, just has to be "the biggest God realization so far," type of thing.

Knowing or believing some "thing" = Righteousness = the (Un)conscious Choice of being in the dream state. The ONLY thing that you can know for sure is... what, exactly? That is the question! Find that, by letting everything else fall away. Allow everything to come and go. What remains? What remains is the tool used by the infinite to explore itself, of which nothing can be said... Other than, perhaps, indescribable perfection. Beliefs (particularly of separation of any kind) about this (indescribable perfection) is what allows for the dream state.

Internal voice is just a thought. But competition of the internal voice is the problem, hiding the underlying bliss. For instance, when I was an active addict nearing early recovery, I would search my drawers for pills that I'd forgotten about or dropped (I had tons of opioid medication just laying around and I threw it all away when I quit, but there was always a bit more left over that had gotten lost -- I had tons and tons of painkillers in my drawers at one point lol). Anyway, all the while, I was literally simultaneously looking for the pill (to crush it and snort it through a straw), WHILE seriously hoping to NOT find it. If I found it (happened several times), the feeling was "fuck; dammit," and if I did NOT find it (also actually happened several times), the resulting feeling was THANK GOD. That's the state of addiction, but it relates to all manifestations of competing desires -- basically the state of "not being at peace." Addiction as described above is simply a rather intense manifestation of it -- most people have it in other ways... uncertainty; confusion; not trusting their own power; etc. Really it manifests all the time to some degree, IF you think you're a separate individual. This competition of desires can be stilled with intensive meditation, and when they stop, an enormous amount of energy is released -- this is what "Kundalini awakening" is -- overwhelming exhilaration that makes you want to shake people and say "HAVE YOU EVER FUCKING TRIED MEDITATION? IT'S INCREDIBLE!" etc... (of course that's just a stage; almost a bit manic, but very lucid).

Had very good success in this with meditation myself. Contemplation, understanding, experimenting with ways/lenses of viewing experience, Metta, etc. Also self inquiry a la Ramana Maharshi worked very well. The jhanas are almost as mystical as it gets, especially the formless jhanas. They do not require any psychedelic experience — though I can’t really say that for sure because when I manifested them for the first time, I had already used plenty of psychedelics.

If you’re dead set on not using psychedelics for now, 2 of the best teachers I know of for that type of path are Rob Burbea and Bentinho Massaro.

But have you actually tried 5-MeO? I’ll be the first to say, cannabis can be an extremely powerful entheogen. But compared to 5-MeO, DPT, ketamine, and LSD? It’s just not in the same category, nor as versatile for awakenings. If it is as powerful for a particular individual, then meditation would be just as good... Because they’re so highly conscious they can’t get much higher than their “sober” state anyway. That’s not to say cannabis can’t allow you to access states that basically no other entheogen can — that goes for pretty much any substance though, and for God-realization / infinite understanding / timelessness, weed usually doesn’t cut it.

Tons of intense contemplation and intensive meditation. But don’t sell yourself short. I would not limit myself to non-psychedelics, unless you have a good reason. “I can’t find them” simply means you don’t have a strong enough desire for them.

Nice. However, God/Love/Truth is what remains when all things, including all beliefs about God, have passed. The nature of God is that it cannot be believed, nor can it be denied.

It’s not about the reality of the views per se. It’s about having so many radical realizations and subsequent views, that you see the underlying empty-full nature of experience. This, coupled with an awakening to the timeless absolute, can lead to recognizing that your perception of reality is completely interdependent with the way of looking; it’s utterly empty on every level.

Yep, the whole process of how you perceive is lit up as itself. When looking at a cat, you can't tell where "the vision" is happening -- it's an assumption to say it happens in the brain or even at the eyes -- seeing is just seeing. Nothing is hidden -- even the ideas and assumptions of something being hidden is itself clearly not hidden.

1. For goals to still take place but to have no ability of adding anything to one's self since one is already whole. 2. Be ultimately loving of and as all things. 3. To fulfil one's role in the catalysis of global awakening.

Awesome! It's like it's the end of mystical experiences, since all there is, is mystical experience.

Exactly. After this, the desire to know thy Self doesn't just go away, so there is still seeking, in a sense. Only now, it isn't "in order to" fulfil some need based in lack-beliefs.

I used to do this. It was probably the right thing for me at the time, but once the mind was relatively still enough, further music deprivation was seen as a form of denial.
