Considering I and you are the same, teaching and learning are the same as well.

If you want something profound, look elsewhere. Emptiness will tend to blow your mind, when understood, because it can't be understood. If this "teaching" resonates with you, a fading out might take place. Peace will never be found, because there's no one to find it. No one cares about peace, since peace is all there is. Although you might as well call peace strife, after the fading -- the difference will be meaningless, since what arises is all there is, with no one in it that could choose something else. Everyone knows this already.

Exactly...

Yeah seeing God is an experience that often occurs before the direct intuitive knowing that you are God. Which comes before the revelation: nothing is moving -- timeless everything is infinite where it is and there's nowhere else.

Stillness; contemplation; etc Very, very still. JUST be. Where exactly is the obvious but obscure knowledge 'I AM' coming from?

Somehow, lol. Can't really think of music that isn't conducive, except maybe the following, but even it is awesome lol:

Hey that's actually pretty good, lol. Even a bit strange loopy.

^^ Yeah, this is likely.

Yeah... It's a bit dangerous. It'll work for PR though, and might restrict some individuals' wild ideations as a bonus.

Everything is spirituality. Pickup can be quite a grounding practice as well. Keeps you from being an uncharismatic sage hermit, when you get to high levels where not a thing is.

@Geopo Wow... I hope you're in a better situation now. Welcome!

@BipolarGrowth When everything is seen as something, there is movement. Without that, there is death without replacement — nothing moves. Yet, it's full.

If there was someone here, sure.

@BipolarGrowth I don't see it as a psychedelic state. Just conveying information. Most would view it as such. I'm pointing to the radicalness that's usually forgotten after the psychedelic experience. Nothing is moving. Everything is not happening. It's all just as it is, where it is, motionless.

Oh. Sounds like it's going as it should then. Good luck! Luck is an interesting thing as well -- might go a little deeper than meets the eye, idk. I'm very, very often known as lucky. Just in all kinds of situations and friend groups. Since I was a kid too.

@BipolarGrowth I'm not big on jhanas anymore either. Just saying the 4th jhana can be used for powers. Many have said that, not just Rob Burbea. Daniel Ingram and many others have said this as well. And they agree, jhanas and powers have nothing to do with awakening (empty fullness seen by no one).

^^ Do this intensely enough, as a habit that goes on all the time, and what my be revealed: there's only what is, there's nowhere else, and everything you thought you knew was in fact...not known at all. This unmoving timeless everything is actually not...anything at all, and it lacks the solidity to carry a so-called individual "through" it.

@BipolarGrowth Careful about going deep into madness. Might be more helpful to think of it as chaos. Less personal.

@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.
