I guess so, usually ego means the comparative self, not the fact of being. The fact of being is absolute, but being aware of the fact of being needs relativity. Without zero relativity there can't be awareness, but the pure relativity of the reality looking itself could be called self, not ego

Very interesting, truly serious in his practice, and his descriptions of states of bliss are accurate and authentic. I'd like to be able to meditate for a whole day (not 5 months 😅), but for now it's impossible; my ego would start screaming at me to stop wasting my time right now. But in a couple of hours I can achieve a level of dissolution close to total. The thing is, automatically, when you begin meditating, your state changes to: there is no good or bad, no difference. Then your entire energetic structure relaxes immediately, and the boundaries of reality blur. You realize that you're creating barriers all the time with preference, which is inevitable and necessary, but it's essential to be able to deactivate this for a few minutes each day, even just one minute. The difference is total. When the barriers fall, reality becomes limitless. Then what is recognizes itself; nothing more is needed, no infinity, no god, no source, just what is. But there can be more, that is, mystical experience. The mystical experience is the opening to power, to the absolute source, to the sacred that vaporizes your psyche and, with just a fleeting glimpse, tells you: purify yourself. humble yourself. align yourself with the sacred. Then a process begins.

For me the difference is for example If you say, "Reality is God taking forms because He wants experiences," then I ask you, "But if God is infinite, then He must have already had infinite experiences, right?" Then It all depends on how you respond. If you respond in an explanatory way, arguing your point and somehow appreciating that your view is being challenged, then the speaker is a mind that aims for understanding. On the other hand, if you reply, "Brother, you're not awake. Get out of your materialistic paradigm. I'm sending you lots of love, hugs, and ❤️ (and don't write to me again, son of a bitch)," then the speaker is a defensive ego. In the second case, it's not a bad idea to question them enough, just so their true nature is revealed

They find people that is fool enough and low self esteem to believe their performance , and they dismiss the others insulting them as low, stupid, etc. Like bentinho massaro or any other sect leader. Narcissist are sect leader wannabe

Being a narcissist is exhausting, I find incredible how they can maintaining their narratives. Because he was my sister therapist. Then he's a person that validates everything and give you compassion (and hugs). If he were one who analyze and confront my sister would have leave him first day. If fact after I talked with him she left him without saying bye, because he wasn't clean anymore. Those people go to the therapist to lie and invent a character, paying 90€ per hour. Then they are therapist themselves. Yes a lot of adventures not just sailing because in the past my level of introspection was zero, I was like blind to this dimension, then I was totally focused in the exterior, a kind of evasion but oriented as good as I could. For example once I have nothing do do for a while and I bought an old motorcycle 2k euros, and I went from Madrid to Senegal alone with 500€ all nights sleeping in the floor, morroco, Mauritania , Senegal and back to Madrid, I never have done a trip in motorbike before . Then another thing, another more, etc etc. Climbing 200m wall, gliding with worse condition possible, boxing hard if I'm in the city, 3 days party with drugs etc. Absolutely always in some thing like this, never stopping Now I think about that and I think, wtf? That was because I only felt connected in exposure, without that life seemed death or hell. Now. I'm totally focused in understanding the human, the mind, the openess, I find it much more fascinating, connection is everywhere, exposure is the very fact of existing. Have done that shift have been an interesting change of frequency that made me have seen quite deep into myself

Could you give more information? What abilities did you develop, what did you see in others? I'm interested in the topic. I was recently reading about Brian Weiss's cases of regressive hypnosis, and some are impressive. I'm not 100% skeptical, but the problem with siddhis is that no one has ever demonstrated any under scientific observation, just like with any paranormal ability. When subjected to the scientific method, the result is that they don't exist.

Agree on that, universal solution doesn't exist, it depends a lot of the person. My energetic structure was so dense that would be impossible without a solvent like 5meo, and I ve not the patience, the discipline. I can be very obsessive in anything but not by discipline, then without the trigger of 5meo I would die with a dense psyche

It depends of what meaning we give to the ego. Imo ego means self, the perception of being that implies the "I". But also you could say that the ego is the idea that we have of ourselves due the human interaction. Being successful, etc, and the basic pure I am is not ego.

I don't believe nothing, 7 years ago I decided to break the shell of my mind, then I started meditation and I focused in spirituality very seriously . Then I started with psychedelics, not because I believe anyone, just experiencing and seeing what's more effective. I'm smart enough to believe in myself, I don't need gurus or teachers. Then I discovered 5 meo and I used it very deeply, and now I'm talking about it. The change have been dramatic, my mind is open, then I can talk about it .

Yes but we are that life. The drive of life is your drive, the will of survival of life is our will.

Being afraid of death is narcissism. You know that you are absolutely certain to die, so living coherently means accepting this fact completely and keeping it in mind at every moment. All of us have some compound of narcissism or self deception, but it's important to see it, not inventing parallel realities

That's cute that everyone believes those siddhis but no one proved them with scanners and scientist. Maybe I'm a too skeptical, but I don't believe rumors spread by a book seller. Who is enlightened?

At the end the center is the last frontier of the ego. The center means the receiver of the experience. In a given moment the reality is reduced to the absolute basic structure: I am. Perception of being. The fact of knowing that you are. You, me , any conscious being is this structure with added characteristics. The naked ego is the I am. This can be dissolved, that's the real point, breaking the I am then the ocean manifest. The I am is closed, openess requires zero structure. I am is structure

What B. Roberts describes is realizing that reality is God. There isn't a "you" seeing reality; "a you seeing reality" is the reality. Reality is God; there is only one God, the reality, and reality is this now. This is absolutely obvious; it's nothing mystical or special. But then she speaks about good, bad,.God that create humans because a reason etc and that's a Christian mess imo

Because just meditating you wont reach total openess unless you are Ramakrishna I have done 5meo like 70 times before i can manage it and understand what is the idea, what i want with 5meo. I also was meditating 2 or 3 h by day, that were basically a hell until thanks to 5 meo started to be meditation Now for me 5meo is useless, I don't like anymore, I have done hundreds of times.now feels like It's just dissolution, and? And it has like false taste. But in some point was necessary

Because he resisted and breakthrough didn't happen. He wanted to impress the other guy, be the boss, not a surrender to the unlimited

All Roberts did was reach a meditative state of dissolution of the subject-object, nothing exceptional, and then issue assessments filtered through her Christian bias, as if they were absolute truths

I don't understand. I just wrote some remembers and feelings just because I felt inspired, not just answering. Same time I tried to answer or follow the thread of the conversation

In what sense? I'm quite transparent, at least it's what I try About metaphysical stuff I try to be precise. It's a topic extremely interesting to me.

For me the point would be exposure and let's see what arises. Going out of the comfort zone to know yourself.

If someone writes this, it's the proof of an understanding proper of a superstitious teenager. Why reading more?

Ram Dass achieved a quite open state and for him psychedelic were essential, over all LSD in very high doses. He was paralized many years and he never lose his humour and happiness. I think that ram Dass without LSD never would achieve such detached state. He was a very serious in spirituality, not only a psychedelic user, but psychedelic were essential in his path Anyway for me ram Dass was too focused in stop suffering, observing the feelings etc. Imo that's a mistake, because creates a frontier disguised of non duality, but just my opinion

People don't fear death because they can't really contemplate it. If you really contemplate it, you realize that life is an horrible trap, then you get seriously in spirituality.

Fear to death is the impossibility for the ego to contemplate it's disappearance. Really the ego should really fear, for example, going to prison for 30 years, much more than death, since death is the absence of suffering for the ego. As a Greek philosopher once said, when I am, death is not; when death is, I am not, so why fear it? But the reality is that the ego will yell as a rat, death is hell for the ego, it's the supreme horror. The ego will see better hell than disappearance

Maybe you should watch the documentary grizzly man and tell to the grizzly: I love you, I love you,
