that's what you think. What I believe is that this is a natural evolutionary process, and only those who are prepared for it will make the cut. There is nothing mystical about it. or rather, absolutely everything is mystical. understanding is the key, whether it is predestined or not is none of my business, my job is to dig deeper and avoid deception. nothing is guaranteed, just my drive to get the work done

It seems that the road is going in that direction, but for that to happen, the gears must fit perfectly. It is a subtle process, more complicated than it seems. I believe that it is necessary to understand in a deep way, or else we will get stuck in false exits

life carries the "evil" written in its source code. without evil, life does not exist, or would be totally basic. ever since a bacteria discovers that if it kills another bacteria and feeds on it, it will become stronger, you've got it. the dance begins. without evil, there would just be solitary bacteria photosynthesising in the ocean, pretty boring. In nirvana for sure, but it seems that reality had wilder plans

the purpose of the ego is evolution. It is the work of absolute genius. Until the human, life evolves in a physical way. In a hostile environment, changes in the DNA are the means of survival, which brings a progressive increase in complexity. from bacteria to elephant in a few million years. the ego is the tool 2.0. From the dynamics of the pack, solidarity and leadership, the human emerges, with perfectly designed software to initiate a new mode of evolution, evolution through the mind. Not physical or tangible. the creation of the collective ego through language. the mixture between the solidarity of the clan and the tribe, to the ruthless competition with those outside the clan, which emulates the fight of the animal with the environment. Due to competition, war, humans recreate the wild natural environment but increase their evolutionary stimulus by millions. the speed is exponential. the possibilities, total. the human has the potential to dominate reality, shape it, understand it completely. The ego will be transcended when it's not useful anymore, not before, and I suppose that only to a certain point, although who knows what the future of humanity will be like

Christianity is a pretty profound parable. starting with the story of the apple and the garden of eden. the human, described as the misfit, unfinished being, stranger to tranquility, peace, always stranger. out of god. the original sin that makes humans a suffering being. after the redemption of Christ. the human who completely abandons his ego and transforms into a divine being. the human as a larva between the animal and god, destined to be one with god, but always tempted by satan, murderer like cain, exploitative, evil, diabolical. god described as: i am. By the way, a very good adaptation of A Course in Miracles, quite evocative. but Christianity, like any system of thought, must be abandoned. It's a novel, nothing at all. the mind must be empty of expectations in order to open to infinity.

For me there are two types of spiritual work. First, the one that consists of realizing that you are the whore of the ego, that is, of all the projections of other people that you have made yours, and freeing yourself from that, in order to be a completely free individual, anchored in the now, without fear. In summary, enjoy life and that this is not a kind of anxious race to nowhere, looking for gallons to finally be able to look in the mirror. second, explore states of consciousness. psychedelics. the great mystery of infinity, which opens before you. beauty, existence, mystery. these two spiritual strands make life wonderful and not a nightmare.

@Holykael you are a very interesting example. I can see that you are intelligent, but at the same time your objective is to sink as much as possible. Leo says that he knows insanity, I think that the one who wants to know insanity is you. Good luck with your trip, I hope that at some point you change direction. when you hit bottom completely i guess , as it looks like that's your goal

If you want a logical reasoning, try this: reality cannot be limited, it is impossible, since it would have to be limited by something that was not reality, so it is unlimited, infinite. if it is infinite, and you are, you are reality and you are infinite. in infinity there are no parts, the part equals the whole. If you are infinite you are not limited by anything, the limits are imaginary. the others are limits, there is a limit between you and them, therefore, the others are imaginary. only you are. But the logical of infinite doesn't work like that I'm afraid. In fact, the infinity is a-logical, because the logical is something inside the infinity. I'd say that infinity is one and multiple at same time.

satan is, let's say, a line of code implanted in the pattern of existence that means to be human and that has an evolutionary purpose. Christianity is false (and the good lies contain a lot of truth to be effective). there is no god who rewards the good and punishes the bad for the fact that they are bad. there is an evolutionary process. You, as a human, are an enigma that must be clarified, a challenge is proposed. There is some metaphorical truth to the fact that if you do your share of the work and clear your energetic pattern, the suffering will lessen or eventually stop. Suffering is the key, it is the guide that shows the way. Christianity has a fundamental contradiction: God created you. god is omniscient. God punishes you with eternal hell (shit) if you are bad. So God, when he created you, he already knew that your destiny was eternal hell, the son of a bitch. there is no eternal hell, there is transitory hell, and there is always the possibility of getting out of it

all religions are useful to help bear the harshness of being human, but Buddhism has a very marked bias towards the negative, the nothing, the void. Furthermore, as it is also a meditative practice, it seems that the practitioners have found the truth for themselves, but afterwards everyone repeats the dogma: wheel of reincarnations, end of suffering. They do not realize that they are clinging to a system of ideas, they think they are enlightened, all repeating the same mental structures. so Buddhism is sold as a system to awaken and is pure anesthesia

Be in a state different than normal, different perception.

@jimwell I agree that the basic principle of Buddhism, escaping from suffering, stopping the wheel of reincarnations to melt into nirvana sounds cowardly and anti-life. as well as dogmatic. reincarnation wheel? nirvana? concepts. I don't believe in them, are just ideas that Buddhism tell you to believe busism has a highly negative basis: life is a problem from which one must escape. that is completely false. reality is for love, and buddhism is sad negativity. Suffering is love .

I also get a coughing fit after the first puff (I only take two). I have found that it is easier on the lungs and gives a better high, the rosin. It is expensive, €30/gr, but with one gr I have enough for a year. It is a resin obtained from weed with a pressure ant heat and which is basically thc

@KatiesKarma start slowly, each person reacts differently. for me 20 ug is tripping and 100 ug really strong. I would try half a tablet, 50ug, and after seeing how it has been, I would increase the dose

psychedelics can't do that but they can greatly help you do it. Every time you break the appearance of limitation, it weakens, and insights arise on how to proceed to open yourself more and more to infinity. insights that include attitudes in your daily life. In addition, the dissolution of energy blockages that perpetuate harmful patterns is facilitated.

Let's see, absolute reality, as its name indicates, is reality, now. there is no other. obvious. what happens is that as humans we live a limited dual experience, which makes reality not seem absolute but relative. one thing in relation to another. and limited: with beginning and end. but that is not to say that it is not really absolute. Right now, having a coffee on a terrace, I am aware of the absolute that reality is, but aware to a certain point because I cannot get rid of the apparent limitation. if now i go up to my house, i do enough 5meo, there is absolutely nothing left of the relative. zero. reality expands to infinity, without bottom. and in the infinite I recognize myself as the unborn that is, total, infinitely abundant, without limit. it is an obvious and perfect realization. there is no more possible depth because what I am is, precisely, infinite depth. When you say that what I am explaining is missing something to be the true awakening, I think that what happens is that you do not understand it because you have only accessed States of bliss, but not truly infinite, since it is impossible without psychedelics. nobody can. You're a steel door, you can't understand it until you blast the door with dynamite. It is very easy, it only takes will and courage

Thanks, I'll check. Reading this thread, I ask myself a fundamental question: what is awakening? For me it is something absolutely concrete and real, beyond any doubt. it is something that I can access at will using drugs: it is the breaking of the apparent limitation and the manifestation of my true nature: the total infinity. the ultimate reality. the difference between this manifestation having occurred or not is fundamental. before I was asleep, then awake. the glass is filled, the prodigal son has returned. but this does not eliminate, as you say, suffering. It relativizes it, but if, for example, they isolate me in a room for 2 years, I will suffer. So, once you can open yourself to infinity totally at will, what else is there to awaken? that is the ultimate, there is nothing but infinity, and that is what I am. Could be more perception and understanding of the infinity, but the fundamental difference is : Have you ever really and completely opened yourself to infinity and became infinite or not? And With this premise, I highly doubt that Adyashanti, Spira, Shadguru, and many others are awake. Ralston I don't know. I would say neither. infinity is a bottomless well of love. an infinite flow in a dance of love. It is The Truth, and it is God, and it is what you always are. maybe ramana maharshi explains it more or less. many others like nisgardatta majaraj, i would say no. They are not fully awake, they have remained in the void

No teacher is going to teach you anything. all they can do is inspire you to seek the truth. There comes a time when words are just words, they bring nothing but confusion. The truth is you, there is nothing else. In you is infinity, you have to open it. psychedelics are the tool

@Water by the River who are , in your opinion, a really enlightened masters? I copy this quote that you posted once. This one, for example. I used the translator so maybe it's not exact: I am the teacher, the pure and total consciousness, from where everything manifests. Pure and total consciousness is the supreme source, it has created the Buddhas of the three times, from it have emerged the beings of the three worlds and everything animate and inanimate. universe. [...] Pure and total consciousness has created everything and has created nothing. He has created everything because he has created his own nature, pure and total. He has not created anything because within him there is no need to create. When my nature is not understood and the phenomena that manifest from me become the object of judgment, desire and attachment give rise to the creation of a concrete vision, impermanent and destined to vanish like a magical apparition, and one becomes like a blind man who doesn't know what's going on. [...YO" "Since I transcend all affirmations and denials, I am beyond all phenomena. Since there is no object other than myself, I am beyond meditating on a sight. Since there is nothing to maintain apart from myself, I am beyond commitment to observe. Since there is nothing to seek but myself, I am beyond attaining the capacity for spiritual action. Since there is no place outside of myself, I am beyond a level of realization to overcome. As I have never encountered obstacles, I am beyond [all] as self-arising wisdom. As I am the ultimate unborn nature, I am beyond [all] as the ultimate subtle [true] nature." "I am called "the perfect condition" because everything is contained in me. I am called "the source" because the teacher, the teaching and the disciples arise from my three natures" "I am the essence of all phenomena; nothing exists that is not my essence. The masters of the three dimensions are my essence. The Buddhas of the three times are my essence. Bodhisattvas are my essence. The four types of yogis are my essence. essence. The three worlds, of desire, of form and also without form, are my manifestation. The five great elements are my essence. The six classes of beings are my essence. Everything inanimate is my essence. Everything that lives is my essence. essence. All habitats and the beings that live in them are my essence. Nothing exists that is not my essence because I am the universal root: there is nothing that is not contained in me. The unborn, the wonder of birth, and the manifestation of energy are the three aspects of the three masters: this is their condition." "As the three times, past, present, and future, reside exclusively in me, all the Buddhas are in the same condition: this too is my essence. As I transcend the dualism of subject and object, like space, I am all-pervading and I constitute the fundamental substance of all phenomena: my essence is pure and total consciousness, I, who am the source, dwell in the unique state, and in this same authentic condition the practitioners of the "four yogas". "Realize my nature, the supreme source that is pure and total consciousness. Teach that all phenomena of existence are only me! If you transmit my teaching, all your disciples will realize my nature and become this same nature. "If my nature were to compassionately show itself to the beings of the three worlds that have originated from me... Thus, I, the supreme source, reveal my nature, showing it to myself." "Nothing but this exists; none of the Buddhas have ever received a higher teaching than this from me, the source. Apart from this condition of equality beyond concepts, I myself, the supreme source from which everything arises, have no absolutely nothing to show for myself." "Listen! As all of you are created by me, you beings of the three worlds are my children, equal to me, the supreme source. You are me, inseparable from me, so I manifest to you and through the five masters of natures I teach the unique state of the five essences [of the elements]. I am the unique state, I, the supreme source: so are you, you must be sure of this!" Listen, Sattvavajra! I will show you your own nature. You are me, the source. I am and always have been pure and total consciousness. What is pure and total consciousness?" "Among all the things that exist in the animate and inanimate universe, there is not a single thing that has not been created by me, nor is there a cause that does not derive from me. So I am the essence of everything, and nothing surpasses me. I am superior to the three dimensions, to the Buddhas of the three times, to the Vidyadharas, to the Bodhisattvas, to the beings of the three worlds, to the entire animate and inanimate universe, because I am the doer of everything. , that I am the source, the pure and total consciousness, I revealed the teaching of the pure and total consciousness

The purpose of suffering is evolution. We are here to evolve, not to be happy. happiness is an inherent quality of existence, but life in this form includes suffering as a impulse for adaptation and change. rejecting it is somehow rejecting what you are. Imagine a guy climbing the eiger north face solo in winter. is it pleasant? Is it better that they give you a blowjob? depends. It's life.

interesting and true. it's hard to remember what the completely unlimited state is when you're not in it. I suppose that the possibility of being in that state permanently should not be denied, and that could be called enlightenment, and yes, end of suffering.

I declare just the opposite. Suffering is the heaven. Existence is. there is a thin nuance to what we are trying to express. maybe it's the same. I understand what you are saying about the contraction.

here is something in which I do not agree and that for me is the deception of Buddhism. I agree with Leo that Buddhism is false, I wanted him to say exactly why he thinks it is false but he didn't say it. I tell you why I think it is false and where I see the error in your line of thought (imo). For you there is a samsara, maya, from which you have to scape to enter the bliss of true nature. the principle of Buddhism: the end of suffering. moksha would agree with you. there is none of this, that implies a duality that is not real, it is illusory and that is why enlightenment and Buddhism are illusory. there are only states of consciousness, and all states are the absolute. hence we call it "absolute". There is nothing else. suffering and bliss are the same, they are different states of what you are. spiritual work is not escaping from the wheel of samsara, there is no such thing. It is to deepen in the now, in you, to the maximum, for the beauty that this implies. enlightenment=to reach a goal is falsehood. there is no goal, this is self-limiting, and that is the error of Buddhism, which categorizes the state of being as Buddha or non-Buddha. Buddha is a myth . only one state deeper than others but not maximally deep because depth has no bottom what is real is the ability to free yourself at will from the logical conceptual mind, understanding what this mind is. there is nothing mystical about it, or rather, everything is mystical, including the conceptual mind. everything is existence and what we do is to be conscious of ourselves. without renouncing to suffering, because we are configured as humans now and suffering is human

what you say is that you realized that reality is limitless and because that its an infinite mind, infinite intelligence, infinite love, that we call god, and you are that. realizing that, as deeper as possible, is the spiritual work. but what we are discussing about Buddhism is whether Buddhism is expressing exactly the same thing in a more subtle way. In some cases it would be said yes. Btw, my knowledge about Buddhism is superficial, just some readings.

if it is a thought system, obviously it must be questioned and taken only as a possible inspiration, interesting curiosity, and nothing more. but in the case of Buddhism it is difficult to say whether it is a system of thought. Zen Buddhism is not a system of thought but a meditative practice aimed at opening to infinity, in which the teachers, once that opening is achieved, expose their ideas, perceptions, to help other aspirants to achieve the same goal. each teacher says different things and there is no immovable dogma. So where is the falsehood? perhaps in that the depth of the realizations of the masters are not enough? It depends which teachers. nothing should be taken literally but as inspiration, only direct experience is worth, then, does Buddhism hinder, block, the possibilities of opening to infinity of the aspirant, or does it help?
