I think it is a matter of evolution. human life has a strong social component, the ego, and this is very complicated. If you analyze life, you see that it evolves slowly, God imagine, but it seems that it need to imagine in steps. first a particle, then several, a bacterium, etc. we are here to evolve. to take a step. we have a mission. it is obvious that there are tests, if we would not be enlightened in a state of permanent uninterrupted happiness, like a bird. It seems that from the monkey to the technological civilization there are difficult steps. recently I saw a close relative die from a disease, swimming in rage and hatred towards everyone for imaginary insults, a year in bed of enormous loneliness and darkness. how much of this hell is there in human globality? seas of suffering. It seems that God needs to drown in suffering to evolve, to take each step of the almost infinite steps he wants to take. because it is obvious that it/us want to create more and more complexity. has a crazy ambition!

@Someone here i think it's obvious. Studying and then spending hours in a monotonous job can be hell, or a pleasure. it completely depends on how you perceive it. do an experiment: when you are with the taxi, pay attention to your thoughts. detects which of them are self-referential. you will see that many. they do not have to be: ohh poor me, enough that they refer to you, even indirectly. when you have them identified, block them. It is not a question of having a blank mind, only of blocking that particular type of thought. If you get it even for a little while, the magic will happen. where is the bad? what is the problem? it's just those thoughts. being in the taxi sucks total shit, I'm not saying otherwise. but it is a test! if you manage to forget about yourself in the taxi ... the world is yours brother

@Baludi thanks for the feedback! sure when I wrote it I saw it very clearly. Right now I only see confusion ... in the end no idea works, not even those that you have acquired through your own experience. only real-time experience works

Great report. I have 1 p lsd waiting... you have motivated me to do it this week. you are lucky to have a mother who understands you on this

True, having zero self-referential thoughts is not discipline, it is absence of i. the absence of i, even brief, realizes freedom immediately, you perceive yourself as consciousness outside of time. I think this is enlightenment

Absolutely. the complete liberation of the i. there is no i and nothing is needed. it is freedom, wonder and beauty. I've been there two days, too good to be true. I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night, and the ego was there again, stronger than ever. and even more intolerable knowing that eternity blah blah blah. now there is no eternity, only the ego, an empty ego that cannot even console itself in projects because it knows it does not exist, but is still stuck like a limpet. lasting liberation seems difficult to me. Everything I do, every person I talk to, strengthens the ego. I want the ego to go away, but who says this is the ego ... the truth is simple, clean, light, but the lie is very complex, dirty. I need a couple of beers for that ego right now

freeing the mind is not simple because the spell of deception is strong. the self that wants to transcend itself is a paradox in itself. the concept structure has to be demolished, and that is not easy. the self must want to kill itself, but the most it can do is understand and weaken itself. When it is weak enough, and is understood, it may dissolve at specific moments, and the truth will appear

If you take advantage of the work of others to eat, dress and survive in short, you have to give something that corresponds to what you receive. that the state has to support you is unworthy. 9 to 5 work sucks, but a free person with a free mind will find their way very easily. And if this is a problem, maybe you have to be more humble and realistic, and admit that you are deceived about how enlightened you are.

I read about it thousand times but that I have not understood until recently: you suffer because there is an "I". the i is imaginary. With meditation, psychedelics and intelligence you can take it off. when you take it off there is no other higher or sacred i, there is no i, only spaciousness and freedom. be one with reality. without i there is no suffering, only freedom to savor and beauty to contemplate. Seeing this clearly without the help of psychedelics is very difficult. the psychedelic is the solvent that takes off the ego for a moment and allows you to see. once you've seen, everything is simplified

love means that you see as manifestation of love that your children starve because your neighbor stole your food. Because all is love and there aren't differences between good and bad .it's's not that obvious. Enlightenment is not obvious at all for the mind

Hah yeah! The truth is that only love exist. there is only an undifferentiated stream of happiness. but for some reason almost all humans superimpose on that a differentiated and structured current of suffering. I guess it will be for something. evolution is the only logical thing

you are here to evolve, not to have fun. it's obvious right? take advantage of the good but you will never be as happy as any bird. you are a soldier, brave and sacrificed who has lived ten thousand lives of suffering to achieve that this very complex being is perfected, is able to transcend the animal, then the man and approach the god. You have a mission to fulfill, a step to climb. if there is beauty on the way, fantastic! but it is obvious that enjoying is not the reason for our existence. If instead of beauty the cross awaits you, no problem! It is for a greater cause, you have chosen it. Neither the torture room nor the psychiatric cell scares you. They are just one more step. do not pursue happiness, you are not for that. chase the truth

this universe seems completely deliberate, perfectly designed, and its tendency is to increase in complexity. the basic pieces are simple, and combining them you can arrive at amazing constructions, like a rat, a miracle of complexity. It seems the goal is to do this, to be. for what? for pure creativity maybe?

@tatsumaru the universe gives you what you need. it may be that you as an ego would have preferred something else

could be, but seeing the abundance of human suffering, it doesn't seem like it. speculating completely I would say: God wants to be material. For that he has created this universe that evolves, increases in complexity, until creating beings that are its complete incarnation. and here we are working on it

@Tim R sorry for rambling. How did you get to that conclusion? Well, if reality is nothingness, but here we are, perceiving "things", would it be that these things are made of nothing ... what else can it be?

@Tim R well, behind that empty well of nothing ... there is something. the singularity, the being that is where there is neither how nor why. the only reality that exists. me. But the problem is that this is so while it is like this. later, in the memory, there is a tendency to doubt, to masturbation, which is what we are doing now

With psychedelics, and lately meditating, and even sleeping, I realized that behind the appearance of "something" is an unlimited well of nothing. I have seen my person dissolve and reach the nucleus, and see that there is no nucleus, only emptiness. I speak according to that repeated realization, which although it is revealed as obvious and real may not be the truth, of course.

@LastThursday If reality is only structure, and structure is just a thought , what is that thought? We are in the beginning again

@LastThursdaysomething is nothingness structured. they are not opposites since they are basically the same, the question would be: is the "act" of structuring something? it is like a thought, therefore it is not something in the material sense, but I would not call it "nothing" either. the only possibility that nothing has a structure is that it really does not have it ... that it is an appearance. But where is the difference between real and appearance? There is not. Appearance became real in the moment that it is Structure is shape? I'd say yes. But there is a difficult question: how the nothing thinks?

@LastThursday structure means there is something rather than nothing. non-structure is nothing. nothingness structures itself in patterns of increasing complexity, forms that create and dissolve, from a hydrogen cloud to a human brain

It is a very practical design, the three forces, the energy creating the matter that from a single and simple base is combined in an enormous complexity, until it comes to life. clean, useful, perfect. the design of a genius

Infinity is what you really are: an empty well of nothing, a horizon of possibilities where all possibilities are possible. they all happen? my mind says no, that's impossible, crazy, all must have a purpose. but who knows.

the last step to settle down and rest in the void. the bondages of the need to interpret and know are strong, they expel you from the void at every moment, like a kind of magnetism that repels you.

For me it is obvious: I want to achieve the emptiness in my mind, because that is how the beauty and wonder of life is manifested. It is something purely practical, I don't understand why it is so difficult, but it is
