I think its normal. if your ego is dense you can only think in terms of duality and separation. Logically you can intuit that reality is supernatural, and give credit to some religion that resonates with you or in which you have been educated. you can intuit its truth but you can only think in terms of cause effect, creator creation, etc. so god necessarily has to be something separate from you I think that people who adopt the belief that I am God without having experienced it are just as childish.

but on the other hand, reality is mind. then consciousness is not all bad. reality is mind forming this appearance. and that mind is your mind. here's the point. then, the perfect definition of reality would be: you

Consciousness is just a word that spiritual writers have used to replace the word god, since it has too many connotations of traditional religions, and the reader would be confused. but I think it is not a lucky decision. many people of the new era have adopted it ."The consciousness" they say, making a devout gesture, since they have read adyashanti that says nothing more than vagueness. Consciousness is that, a vague term, which loosely means the act of being aware of something. reality is not that, reality is reality, and that's it. the word reality is much better because encompasses everything , and it's true that God evokes the traditional god too much

I think it is necessary to clearly distinguish between a relative pov and an absolute one. from the relative, they are part of the history of humanity, in which there is an energy of search for the absolute, which seems to be evolving towards the understanding of reality. we are part of it (well, leo over all). from the absolute point of view, they are simply nothing, just stories of the mind. Nothing ever happened, there is only this infinite moment, there is no path to anywhere. I don't think you can mix the two. or you are in one, or in another ... although maybe I'm wrong

infinity is not something you can understand or conceptualize, so better not try. What you say is valid as well as saying that nothing has ever happened or will happen, or that all of infinity is reduced to this exact moment that lasts infinitely, but that appears to pass. thinking about it doesn't make sense. what you have to do is open your heart to infinity, because it is what you are and when you do, the prodigal son will have returned. For this, the fundamental thing is to want to do it, and then, to do it

consciousness suggests the ability to be aware of something. For me it is a very ambiguous term, which suggests an action. perceive something. before the perception there must have been the perceived. to indicate that it is reality, we can say infinity, or infinite potentiality. the infinite is conscious of itself, but it is not consciousness primarily, it is infinite, and for being so it is consciousness, intelligence, total power

Because everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.

Not to do and stay in the illusion of the ego leads to suffering, and as life progresses, more suffering. dissolving the ego leads to joy, freedom and total glory. so the reason to do it is not to be stupid

from an absolute point of view, only now exists. This means that your birth, deep sleep, and everything else, are just things that you are imagining right now. Just histories. It's like an infinity trick to make it look like something is happening. what happens is that what seems to be happening is the same as what is happening, since a relative pov. it seems that infinity is a trick artist . but leaves clues to be discovered. But same time, if you discover something means that you always had been discovered...a mess impossible to understand. So the best option imo is to focus in the now and forget any concept and history because all of them are false by definition. The truth is the empty now

It is inevitable to make those mental processes, but you have to realize that these processes are within the present. if you penetrate to the bottom of the present, with psychedelics, meditation... you realize the infinite, as you say in your first post. that is the absolute, the glory, the actual reality, the potential void in which you recognize yourself. there is nothing else to know imo. if reality is infinity, anything will be equal to anything else, which means that any semblance of definition is only apparent. how, why? interesting questions. is it possible to understand them? I guess so. in the void is total understanding. but then can it be translated into mind language? I don't know, maybe not because the logical mind works in another dimension, but who knows. For example, an answer from another dimension would be, if a thousand minds ask: are there other minds, or only mine. that the answer is: only yours, referring to the thousand minds, and that this is the only valid answer

Or put another way, infinity divided by x = infinity. but this is still a concept. reality is this, now, actual, and nothing else. concepts are concepts. It does not mean that they are false, only that they are concepts. one must distinguish between reality and concept, and then between true and false concept. reality is only one. it is the present moment. and concepts, both true and false, are within reality

That is the problem with your explanations. Awareness is just a word, not the absolute truth. You explain everything like squares and lines, and reality is curvy

it seems that islam is establishing itself as the dominant religion in the blue stage areas, of which there are many. I suppose it is a religion that, due to its characteristics, fits well in blue. Christianity was also blue but fitting it in was a contortionist exercise since the texts say the exact opposite of the blue paradigm. Same with Buddhism. on the other hand, islam is blue from the beginning

If you listened to Tom's thoughts, they would be your thoughts, right? in fact, tom is a thought in your mind. and psychedelics another, and absolutely everything. the question of whether tom really exists, is also just a thought in your mind. only this moment exists, and outside of that there is no existence. Or better, there is not outside, it's impossible. strange right? there can't be. As soon as you start to think: but if there are millions of other beings, what happens to them? this is just another idea in your mind. it's crazy. nothing exists, only direct experience. The rest are just ideas, knowledge. knowledge is nothing since it deals with non-existent things. of ideas without substance. understanding is everything, and is opposed to knowledge. understanding is empty, knowledge, full, but full of thoughts. unreality, illusion, nothing. Only in the void is understanding.

Im saying that the typical phrase: you are god dreaming reality, seems to me poorly formulated. the same as the word conscience. since both imply someone doing something or perceiving something. I have not said that awareness of reality does not exist, only that saying: you are conciousness, leads to confusion. you are reality, and in it there is consciousness. you are not consciousness, which is aware of something called reality

Well said.That whole story about: you are dreaming the reality. It always seemed wrong formulated to me. induces the idea that there are two. It's simplistic and anthropocentric

But in 5 meo there is not i am aware, it's only I AM. Then, AM. And at the end....---- nothing. Void. And that is GOD, so, you. Consciousness implies being aware of something, which implies the act of being aware, and something to be aware of. It is a wrong term, I never understood why it is used. in 5 meo reality, that is, you, disappears completely, and only the emptiness without limit remains. nobody who is aware of, nothing to be aware of. but this total, absolute void, where there is nothing to be aware of, manifests as absolute freedom. you are that freedom you are not consciousness, you are freedom, that is, total potentiality. then the glory takes place. That is god, the absolute void without limit. And you are that, because only that void is. That void is full of glory, of intelligence, of everything that is possible, because there are no limits. And you recognize yourself as that. Right now the void is , appearing like this moment.

Knowing if that is so or not is just getting a conceptual idea of the cosmos. It's not something you can tell, since you can't get out of your pov. it's always your pov. getting a conceptual idea is ego. it has no value. it's an idea inside your pov, a story like any other. Like to know that you are Japanese and a mathematician. stories. what it is about is leaving behind the stories and being one with the reality that is. stop making differentiations in order to really understand what it is, that is, you. Understand=be. To understand, one must abandon knowing, and knowing whether there are others or not is just knowing. stories. the reality is that you are, no more.

Anyway, one thing is sex and another is porn. porn is a fake substitute for sex which in my opinion is quite toxic. Usually it's two actors faking an act that should be something authentic. It would never occur to me to watch porn with psychedelics. masturbate yes, with mushrooms for example, but it's pure, perfect sex, with myself, without staining with porn

it is like a kind of game. you have to manage to love your circumstance, your "life". once you do it seems that everything starts to flow in your favor. At first it seems impossible to accept certain things, it is a kind of enigma that seems impossible to solve. you have to find the key and solve it. nobody can give it to you, it is unique and it is not something definable. Why all of this? no idea

Absolutely. is a name that induces a misconception of something that is being aware of something else, and this is the ego. the word reality would be much more appropriate.

Yes but It is complex since there are millions of possibilities. society is a cog of enormous proportions. whether we like it or not we are part of it. without it we are dead in a matter of hours. so even if it sounds naive, the question should not be: what can society do for me, if not, what can I do for it. not as something altruistic, but rather thinking about where I can develop the maximum of my capacity. since doing it in the end is a pleasure. A job in which you can give all of yourself becomes a passion. I know it's a bit silly and hypocritical to say this when 90% of jobs are designed to work like a brainless robot, but even so, the trend should be towards finding a calling, something to achieve excellence

more than work the attitude towards it. If you work solely for the money you receive in return, as a necessary curse, it is misery. if you do it for contributing your capacity towards the benefit of humanity, it is a pleasure. I think that if you have that attitude in the end you find a job that suits you.

Great quote. The only way to detox is to go to the end. staying in the middle is toxic. forces you to remain in no man's land, outside of the present. alienated, crazy.to regain sanity it is necessary to end the cycle. Interesting person Alexander pope. Thanks for sharing

Could be, everytime I have done 5 meo, after felt a very strong impulse of sex. what I said above was an interpretation that can be wrong
