sometimes it is required to connect mentally with someone so as not to feel alone and I believe that it is not necessary. as a human you have the need for company, without a minimum it is very difficult not to get depressed. practice observing others, understanding them, listening to them, enjoying simple company without having to expose your ideas. people will appear

Why meditate and try to transcend your ego and realize the truth, if God has given you such an attached ego?, it would be that he would want you to be an ego and suffer. transcending the ego is cheating, and in the next life you will be a guy with a heavy ego. it's the same with psychedelics as without them

Of course, he was a really egoic man, there is a book written the daughter of his lover where they dismantle the myth. for me in his books there is too much mystery and little clarity. It seems to me that what he wanted is to show that only he was smart enough to understand what he was saying

Sit down and stop wanting anything, just realize that sitting there is all you could want. savor sitting, it's perfect, there's nothing else. Anything you add to it will be a burden, a nuisance. There is nothing but this perfect moment, nothing to achieve, nothing to think about. stop controlling, give up control. any thought is will to control. relax the control until it disappears .... and that's it, you're disconnected. I m trying that every day...not easy at all, but I'm sure it's possible

If you reach a state of meditation of total silence, empty, you will see that this is what there was before your birth, and you will understand how, after your birth, that emptiness begins to fill with images, appearance. that emptiness before birth does not pass, it is the same all the time, and it will always remain the same. you say there is nothing after death? You are right, since that void is nothing, but if you become familiar with it, you will see that that void is you, and that all the images that fill it are nothing, appearance without reality. only the void is The issue of spirituality, imo, is not just understanding that the ego is illusory, it is knowing the void and beginning to understand it, it is a non-conceptual understanding that I think can be much deeper. understand that there is no I is not the end, it is only the beginning

I once had a kind of dream, after doing psychedelic the day before, about death. the person, me, with all its characteristics, attributes, memories, detached itself, and with all serenity dissolved into nothingness forever, as if it had never existed, and emptiness remained. only that I really was the emptiness, absolutely void, I always was and the person never existed. I think death could be like this

there are behaviors that strengthen the ego, and others that weaken it. the selfish, evil and sadistic make your ego heavier. With a heavier ego, you will behave more that way, entering a circle in which you will be separated, unhappy and fearful, until you reach hellish levels. I would call that "bad". If your behavior is disinterested, integral, clean, your ego will weaken, with which you will be happier, intelligent, open. I would call it "good"

All is magic, nothing is mundane. You have to turn off the radio to appreciate

Great quote

true, language is very useful for survival, it allows us to act as a group, but it has a price: it creates a jail, it imprisons you in a very complicated system of good / bad, dualities, where good is acceptance, which means survival, and evil, rejection, which is identified with death. Getting out of this maze and be free is not easy at all, but it is an exciting game

If you want to go chase money and fame, there is no way that you want to go to a cave for two years. If you want to go to the cave, there is no way you want to chase money and fame. just find out what you really want and do it

This shit is a challenge. I have to remind myself every moment that the past is only in me, it has no real existence, if I don't do that i hear my father insult my mother and me 20 times a day and I go into a loop of hate. Everything is in my mind right now, and with relative ease you can control those loops, there is a clear awareness that it is you who creates those shitty self-referential thoughts

@Javfly33 have read several of your posts about 5meo, very oriented to transcendence and the realization of God. I think you can have deep realizations of that type, but your ego will return, and without taking too long. Have you tried mushrooms in medium doses, 2-4 grams? they can work miracles with a sore ego. It is lazy to do it, since unpleasant moments are spent, but it is worth it if your intention is to be totally honest with yourself

@James123 i told you , there is nothing...but there is something. I only Intuit it, behind the void

I look forward to it. it can be revolutionary.

@Leo Gura have you thought about writing? maybe you would reach more people

samsara theory is very egoic. life as a test to reach a goal. and denies life: it is not desirable. the goal is to escape from life, which is just suffering. It's very silly. Is the life of birds suffering, or that of a dolphin? the human is complex, but it is not all suffering. I would rather stay in samsara for a few million more cycles. life is Beautiful and the absolute isn't going to move

Yeah , the ego is a trap. escaping from the trap is critical. The difficult thing about it is that outside of the trap there is nothing. adaptation time is needed

@SQAAD your ego is a perfect survival machine programmed to escape from the bad (for your survival), and pursue the good. He is your friend, but you have to keep him under control, know exactly what he does and how. more accurate would be to say that he must keep himself under control

@James123 yes, we are nothing, amplitude without limits, zero. but there is a problem here: we also exist as "something". I think that enlightenment is more than liberation and nothingness. Maybe my ego can't accept be nothing, of course, but there is something!. And yes, it's liberating, relaxing, resting in the present at the end. But same time it's like sad. The void where there is no where or when, no shape, no energy. Always the same moment, the zero moment. What a party. But same time, there is a big party. The universe is. Impossible to understand that duality right now

@James123 i cannot "be" nothingness, only see it as one who looks out into an abyss. there is calm but also rejection. do you access that every day? how long, if i may ask?

I am increasing to 2 hours a day and it is getting easier, lately 45 minutes seems like 10 but it is not something completely "good". I arrive at an unlimited emptiness, with hardly any thought, there is no time, there is nothing there. like you says, before birth. but it's intimidating, it looks like death. yesterday I tried to hold out as long as I could there and I had a physical reaction, nausea for hours. Later there is a great feeling of freedom, like no ego, very present, but also the feeling that behind this appearance there is only emptiness, nothing, zero, death. it's like a bad 5 meo trip. there is no enlightenment there, only nothing. Still I look for every moment to see it again

@Joscha i have found your report very inspiring. has a simple message: if you want to enter heaven you have to be ego free, otherwise you will fall into hell. i'm sure if i d take 600ug of lsd like you i would visit hell, it needs a previous big work

@Amit It surprises me how someone can call another stupid in every sentence of a conversation. demonstrates violence. be careful, that violence will one day turn against you

I would say: people fear being excluded from the sex market as much as death
