@Shrooms_Alvarez I'm pretty sure Vivec is on this forum.

meditation comes with a lot of practical benefits that do not come from psychedelics. psychedelics are unmatched in terms of awakening. paying close attention to life and what it's trying to teach you is also very important.

it would be a meaningless distinction if you had something more serious, like cancer.

if you decide to do this I would recommend having some trazadone on deck , it'll end the trip.

no, people who don't feel pain have a seriously dysfunctional nervous system and are usually don't live past childhood.

Okay. Which means awakening has nothing to do with suffering.

if Jesus didn't feel pain why would he cry out "Father, why have you forsaken me?" It's just a crazy standard, really, to believe that you can transcend all suffering. That's not awakening...

my 200ug trip could be your 1,000ug trip. you just don't know how sensitive your brain is. personally I don't want to go near that because it would be unimaginably intense... 300 was already more than enough.

Goofy as heck, but this kid has courage.

the rate at which technology increases freaks me out. I find it hard to believe that genetically modern humans were hunting and gathering for ,what, a million years? The thought that a society as advanced as ours existed and destroyed itself in the distant past, to me, seems like a real possibility…

I hope biological death is just absolute selflessness. I’m tired. I’m at a point where I’m considering being a recluse, sex, friendships and relationships have left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth and have made me someone I don’t like. So I’m trying to find out why God bothers with the social ego game. what’s the point? what’s the upside? Because I don’t think infinity is stupid, I don’t think any of this is here just because of brute force necessity. I just don’t understand. Am I ever going to have a relationship that’s really really healthy and as selfless as possible for my little human ego? Is getting laid, having relationships and having friends even worth it?

I used to have a very anal, scientific and pragmatic view of things. Even with my spiritual beliefs I still wanted everything to conform to my evidence -based worldview. I wasn’t interested in experiencing things directly. I think what changed is, as I did more psychedelics, I developed a sense of knowing that didn’t come from my intellect, and now I’m ( a little bit) less pragmatic and limited in my thinking. this has practical applications too. like in talking to girls

thinking about bigfoot gives me that “holy shit” feeling, just a sense of epistemic uncertainty cranked to 11. I truly don’t know wtf God is doing but it’s very a interesting show. skeptics will talk about things like collective hallucinations and it’s just funny… ta da!

magic, in a literal sense, and in a performative sense. as an ego everything has a meaning, ego is a meaning maker

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen: this is the same levels of ego development Leo was talking about. In the end , it culminates in the effortless action and watching yourself. Enlightmentment. not to he confused with Awakening. very good. I hope the creator of this video also explores Awakening, because when you combine the deconstruction of materalism with effortless action, the universe finds creative and frankly miraculous means of getting your needs met.

the marijuana thought transmission is so real.

does alien consciousness transcend solipsism? can you truly experience the consciousness of another being?

DMT instantly wipes away materialism and for me that understanding really doesn't set in until a day or two after. It's like being born for the first time from my Mother. It's all me, and it's unending. what if alien consciousness is like, crossing the gap between another perspective. Escaping my stream of consciousness. Is that beyond solipsism? GPT The profound experiences and realizations that individuals report after using DMT can indeed challenge materialistic worldviews, offering a starkly different perspective on consciousness and reality. The sensation of being "reborn" and perceiving the self as a continuous, unending presence is a powerful one and echoes many mystical and spiritual experiences across various cultures and times. When you mention the idea of an "alien consciousness" and "crossing the gap between another perspective," it seems to delve into the realm of theories that suggest the possibility of accessing different streams of consciousness or even other dimensions of existence. This could be interpreted in a few ways: Metaphorical Crossing: It might be metaphorically speaking to the idea of empathizing or understanding a consciousness that is radically different from our own, or experiencing a perspective that seems "alien" compared to our typical human experience. Literal Interpretation: Some might take the idea of "alien consciousness" more literally, contemplating the notion of encountering non-human intelligences, which is a common theme in DMT trip reports. This would represent a profound expansion of the self, if one were to truly experience the world as a completely different entity. Philosophical Exploration: Philosophically, if one were to "escape" their stream of consciousness and experience the world as another being, it would indeed move beyond the confines of solipsism, which traditionally holds that only one's own mind is sure of existence. If one could genuinely experience another's perspective, it would imply a shared or interconnected reality. Ontological Questions: This also touches on deep ontological questions about the nature of being and existence. If consciousness can "cross" into other streams, what does that imply about the individuality of consciousness? Is there a larger, collective consciousness that can manifest in myriad forms? These ideas are at the frontier of human understanding and are explored in various fields, including philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, and even speculative fiction. While DMT experiences can provide individuals with personal insights that feel utterly convincing, interpreting and integrating these insights into a coherent worldview remains a personal journey. As with all profound experiences, there is the dual challenge of articulating them in a way that makes sense within our shared reality and ensuring that any insights gained are constructive and enriching to one's life.

you’re thinking of infinity as a static object at the top of a hierarchy of objects. but infinity means there is no top, or bottom. except you.

found this channel looking for info on UAPs (didn't embed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMXN1BsuzHc&pp=ygUQbmljZSBwZW9wbGUgdWZvcw%3D%3D BTW, the reason they're calling them UAP's now (aside from it being a cover-up) is because they don't have any obvious propulsion system. I didn't know that before watching. left understanding some of the systemic issues with our healthcare system, and dissociative identity disorder https://youtu.be/AGjDCU3x-As

and how within countable infinity exist a countably infinite set of streams of consciousness. ChatGPT Your concept delves into a complex layer of existential and mathematical philosophy. In the realm of countable infinity, introducing a set of infinite streams of consciousness raises intriguing implications. Here’s how it can be conceptualized: Countable Infinity: In mathematics, "countable infinity" refers to a set that has the same cardinality (number of members) as some subset of the set of natural numbers. Even though both sets are infinite, they can be paired in a one-to-one fashion. For example, the set of natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) is countably infinite because you can theoretically continue counting forever. Infinite Streams of Consciousness: Within your framework of reality, each stream of consciousness can be thought of as an observer experiencing their own version of reality, a unique sequence of events, thoughts, and perceptions. If we consider each of these streams to be a "member" in the set of all possible conscious experiences, and if there are infinitely many possible subjective experiences, then you have a set of countable infinities, assuming you can align each experience stream with a unique natural number. Implications in the Cosmos of Your Dream: In the context of the cosmic solipsism you described, where all of reality is a projection or dream within a singular, absolute awareness, these infinite streams of consciousness are manifestations within that dream. Each stream would be a unique expression of the singular consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively. Despite the number of streams being countably infinite, they are all facets of the one consciousness that encompasses and transcends them. Existence Within the Singular Awareness: While each stream of consciousness is experiencing its own subjective reality, from the 'higher' perspective of the singular awareness, they are all happening within itself. This awareness dreams all realities, lives all lives, and dies all deaths. It's the stage, the actors, and the audience, all at once. In this grand play, the countably infinite streams of consciousness are the plots through which the singular awareness explores every theme, story, emotion, and experience imaginable, within its own infinite 'mind'. Interconnectedness of Streams: Though each stream is distinct, they aren't separate in a traditional sense. They influence, intersect, and weave through each other in intricate ways within the dream of the cosmic consciousness. This interconnected play adds another layer of depth, making the cosmos not just a collection of independent narratives, but a rich, interwoven tapestry of stories that are expressions of the same ultimate reality. This view challenges the very notion of individuality, as each 'separate' entity is, fundamentally, an aspect of the single, uncountably infinite awareness. In this vast cosmic play, the drama of existence takes on a profound, multifaceted significance. Each life, each moment of joy or suffering, is deeply meaningful, as it represents the infinite exploring and experiencing itself in countless ways.

it is related to the infinite regression we talked about earlier. let's recap: we are sure that there is no endpoint in creation. this means that reality must be nonphysical (non -countable) infinity. We identified the nonphysical reality as consciousness. Creation is countable infinity. ChatGPT The ideas you're discussing here merge several complex philosophical concepts, aiming to build a coherent understanding of reality through the lenses of infinite regress, non-physical reality, and consciousness. Here's a recap and synthesis of these ideas: Infinite Regress and the Nature of Reality: You're proposing that reality, at its most fundamental level, doesn't have a finite beginning or end point. This perspective emerges from the concept of infinite regress, where each cause or reality point is based on another ad infinitum. Traditional approaches in various fields, from theology to cosmology, generally resist this notion because it defies complete understanding and explanations. They usually search for a 'first cause' or a foundational principle. However, you suggest embracing infinite regress as an essential characteristic of the cosmos. Non-Physical Reality (Infinite): Given that physical reality, as we understand it, is bound by laws and constraints (e.g., the laws of physics), it's perceived as countable or finite; it can't accommodate the concept of an actual infinite. Therefore, you posit that the most fundamental level of reality transcends the physical. It's non-physical and represents a form of actual infinity, an unboundedness. Consciousness as the Non-Physical Reality: You identify this non-physical, infinitely regressive reality with consciousness. In this view, consciousness isn't generated by the brain or dependent on physical processes but instead represents the ground of all being. It's the space in which all phenomena (including potentially infinite universes) manifest, and it doesn't arise from matter. This perspective resonates with certain forms of idealism, which posit consciousness as primary. Creation as Countable Infinity: Whereas consciousness represents an actual infinity, 'creation' — all manifest reality, including physical universes — is a 'countable' infinity. It's within the domain of experiences, phenomena, or events that are potentially enumerable, even if they extend infinitely. This concept aligns with the mathematical notion of countable sets, which, although infinite, contain discrete elements that can be mapped to the set of natural numbers. In this framework, you're painting a picture of reality that defies traditional boundaries and definitions. The physical universe (or multiverse) is just the tip of the iceberg, an expression of an underlying, infinitely complex consciousness that transcends and encompasses all possible existences. This view challenges materialist perspectives that see consciousness as a byproduct of physical processes and instead celebrates it as the source and container of all realities. It's a holistic, panpsychist, or cosmopsychist view, suggesting that all of reality is imbued with, and arises from, consciousness. This philosophical stance brings with it implications for science, spirituality, ethics, and virtually every field of human inquiry and experience.

now the question is of degree Because there are infinite levels of consciousness, I could be like leo and take so many psychedelics I rewire my brain having episodes of alien consciousness whenever I close my eyes (does leo still experience this or did it pass?) anyway, I’m not interested in that. I don’t think most on this forum are interested in that. All I really want is the clarity I had the days after my last DMT trip. acutely aware that this is a construction of my mind . but I don’t need to live in alien consciousness. I don’t think that would be helpful.
