when there is no difference between good and bad, and it is seen that anything is equal to something else, and neither means anything, the doors of perception open, to the extent that preference disappears. They were closed by preference, necessary to survive

I believe, it is possible in meditation

try to make it the same for you that they tell you that you have won the lottery, or that you have cancer ... if you can. then there is no ego and you are in heaven

reality is nothingness, in the sense that there is not real content. So right now it's nothingness but it seems to the mind that there is content, many things, ideas, memories, images. they are false. It is not that they are a lie, it is that it seems that they are happening but they are empty images that do not mean anything. a steak is the same as a beggar, or humanity, or philosophy. nothing, empty. but we are addicted to that false content, so if in a moment they take it away, what remains, what we call emptiness, seems lacking in something, absence. It is not like that, emptiness is empty because it has no content, but it is full, it is being. it's pretty straightforward once you see it. The important thing imo is to recognize the adiction to the content, and see it's unreality. After the void is starting to be less threatening

When you are a child your ego is extremely weak, the pure joy of the present is your nature, but as you grow older the ego becomes strong. there are genetic programming that make this inevitable, the tribe must survive, it does not matter anything else, as something as irrelevant as the happiness of the individual. animals have a very simple ego, hunger, cold, reproduction ... the rest of the time, they simply are, in the garden of Eden, empty, just being. what we try, prisoners of the madness of the ego. a twisted and difficult game, interesting

It's hard in any culture. The ego is a survival software, and it becomes strong in any culture. all cultures are meant to survive. they are ego.

and one last question. If you've done 80x salvia, which is something that, after having done 10x, I wouldn't even do it for $ 5000 ... why don't you try friendly 5meo and leave your doubts?

I think you are right, of course it's possible, but extremely difficult. Extremely in a level that you understand only after do 5meo, at least it's my perception

Of course there is the traditional way. dissolve your ego naturally. Go away completely from the world, renounce everything, reach a state in which you are told that you are going to be crucified or that you have won the lottery, for you it's the same, completely undo the identification with your body, get away from society, meditate years with passion without any results . then perhaps, and only perhaps, after heroic years and heroic faith, the doors of perception will open. it really is more epic, but having 5meo ... unnecessary. Well sure it's more complete the traditional way, but who is going to follow that path?

@impulse9 It is not like this! the point is that you meditate every day and you reach a point where you realize that there is no i, that everything you give meaning to is nothing, an imaginary movie, ok? It does not matter to be a homeless than a winner. Seeing this is not too difficult. but this is not enlightenment. you know what it is not, but what it is does not manifest itself, there is a barrier that is not broken. it happens to some, like buddha, etc, but it's not common at all. there are people who think that the realization of not me is enlightenment. there is nothing, blah blah. but obviously there is more. 5meo can break the last unconscious layers of the ego and open you to infinity. the word is infinite, unfathomable. When that manifests there is no doubt, it does not matter if it is with 5meo than meditating, but it seems that this happens more frequently with 5meo. If this happens you will say: the prodigal son has returned. the glass has been filled. No doubt. then that happens and you return to normality, you do not become Jesus walking in the water, but if you have realized it while meditating, the same thing happens. You fall back on the ego, but you have already seen. also there is another utility of the 5meo. If you don't get to that point but the ego partially dissolves and rebuilds itself, you will see what the ego is. you will forget it. you will see it again, and so .... it is a job and 5meo is a tool, it's a substance that dissolves your ego, no more. the goal is total liberation, 5meo is not going to do that for you, but it's a huge gift

Change death for ego

the only reason would be to admit that the ego is not a silly imaginary thought, but something real. an energetic pattern. Just as the physical body is a pattern that orders matter, programmed to be from the embryo, the ego is a karmic pattern. it has innate characteristics and attracts its own circumstance. life is a kind of evolutionary process, not an amusement park as they say. the unreleased ego, upon death, transmits its pattern to another ego that begins. the substance of both is the same as that of the snail, it is reality, but the form remains, until it frees itself

@James12345 peace my friend

Friend , are you in the psych ward right now? If I were you, I would stop thinking about what could be and what could not be and I would try to move forward, eliminate ballast, refine my mind. life is a difficult adventure. Each one has his cross, being a victim will not help you at all. I understand that you want to warn of the dangers of psychedelics, but now you are alive. optimize your situation. put your will to improve. you will improve.

How do you know I'm suffering? Are you sure you aren't suffering? It is difficult to know who is deceived and who is not, but there is a detail. when someone is truly awake there is a clarity, a spontaneous intelligence that manifests itself without the need to assert itself. the true teacher does not demand to be recognized as such, others perceive in him the clarity, the truth expressing itself. there is something that I see in you that shows me the incompleteness of your enlightenment, the inability to see, to perceive, to appreciate, what it is, the manifestation. the manifestation is the absolute. you say: the manifestation is false, only the absolute is real. you're wrong

De the confidence you speak with can confuse a lot of people. I see in you the need to be right, to be the only one who understands, to give as a fool what others say. I like you, but I think you have a barrier that you cannot see, which after all is nothing more than your ego. I hope you get to see it and open your mind. keep in mind the possibility that you are deluded, that you are not enlightened. Many before you were sure about that and was an egoic delusion. I see in you too much need of show that you know and others are deluded. I hope they don't block you, because you contribute, and, as I told you, I feel sympathy for you, but I think you are victim of your ego

Love is not a feeling, love=be=reality. Because reality could be nothing, as you say, but reality is. It's Impossible to denying that. You are arguing for a semantic meaning

It is the complete unity, where there is no longer you and the other, there are no differentiations or limits, so there is nothing, and at the same time it is everything. there is the complete certainty that this is you, you always were, and as although you are nothing, you are, that being is a complete joy, absolute joy, love. love is a word that the ego says after, remembering. nothing is a word that suggests absence, and what there is is presence, fullness in emptiness. it is something that happens when the ego leaves, but the ego can understand it. look around you, fullness, life. is the manifestation of being.

true, and you can also wake up to the fact that the body where that unreal self seemed to be, is equally unreal, and that the ground you walk on, which seems very solid and real, is not either. that everything is an undifferentiated soup with apparent differentiations, patterns that order the same substance, and that this substance is made of nothing, ideas related to other ideas. So the self is just as real or unreal as the solar system

the i has the same existence that any other mental construction can have. if it's real, it's a mental construct, that's all. the point is to understand what it is, and who understands it is the i itself. all the posts in this thread have been written by an i. you have to give the i the value it has, to say that it does not exist is to deny a reality. It is not something material, you cannot touch it, but it is a stable mental construction that occurs in 100% of humans. exists, obviously

Not agree. If you wake up, wake up, it doesn't matter if it's 1 minute, doing psychedelics, walking down the street or watching a movie. a question: have you done 5meo? because it is not the same as lsd at all. Both are called psychedelic , but no more

@Moksha Thanks for sharing. Yeah, i think meditation is the key , stop doing and be

the body is not a material thing. the atoms that make up the body are not the same now and in a second. they are constantly being exchanged with other equal atoms, which come from the "outside". with "" because there is no such thing as exterior or interior. the body is a pattern that organizes those atoms that are being exchanged in an incredibly precise way. quadrillion atoms each in its exact place. what is it really? a concrete idea, materialized in the middle of the whole, without limiting except for its shape, its pattern. really mixed with everything

there is only the present, what it is. the i is the opposition to what it is. you cannot oppose to what it is, it is. you can imagine that you oppose to what it is. therefore the i is imaginary But in another sense, In a relative sense ,it's different. You have to opposite to what it is, because if you don't, you will die, so the i is real and necessary. But...the life and death are imaginary, you can relax and merge with the present, do nothing. Nothing is going to happen. So the i is imaginary But...are "you" going to "do" that?

How did you have that realization? or is it something you access on a daily basis? I know it wasn't through psychedelics, so it will be meditation. could you explain?
