Oppositionless

Maybe you need a really bad trip to snap you out of it. Then again, hundreds a bad cannabis trips didn't snap me out of it, going to rehab did

The worst trips of my life have been from weed. Telepathy is real. People respond to my inner monologue. Not in a positive way. They're watching me

I didn't mean to come across as an ass , or disrespect mushrooms. Just somewhat sarcastically responding to ego. I need it too, a good friend of mine called me out big time the other day.

not at all. I just don't understand the desire to trip as hard as possible. so I suggested pharmahuasca, if that doesn't get you where you want to be , there are other chemicals that will last multiple days My weakness is I want to party with models on a yacht

If you drink 100 mg of dmt with an maoi you'll trip harder and longer than any stupid mushroom. (This is somewhat facetious. Mushrooms are intense, but if pure intensity is really what you're after, this is the way) I see. Well that just sounds like you eat when you're hungry, so I don't understand what you're getting pretentious about. Sounds like common sense

What does lifetime fasting mean? You gotta take care of your body bro. but by all means, do a 3 day fast once a month, and take some dmt when you do.

It's almost impossible to be a 20 something and not have a massive ego. My 30 year old rave buddy told me that straight up . He said "you want to fuck and have a relationship, but your walls are up. You think you're better than these people because you're an engineer, you're smart, and you're into spirituality. Drop that shit. People are stupid, people are morons, people suck. But you're not better than them. As soon as you realize that you'll get as many girls as you want."

IMO a consistent calorie deficit is negative and unsustaiable. But a dedicated fast can be alright

You're God, but you don't know yourself, nor can you. So praying to God, specifically asking for God's help to be happy and know God's will, is hugely beneficial.

1. NN-DMT 2. Spiritual autolysis (contemplation by writing) 3. Vipassana meditation 4. listening to Nisargadatta Maharaj, Leo, and a few other exceptional teachers 5. Masturbation and loving, intimate sex bonus: raves and ecstatic dance, without the drugs, and doing pickup at these events , self-love, prayer, asking God for help

Did you go to inner engineering in-person or online ?

Leo when you said that meditating for 20 minutes a day won't do anything for you, I meditated for 20 or less the last couple months and it gave me a lot of benefits. Calmer, less interested in chasing women. it also put me in what Daniel Ingram describes as a dark knight. It seemed like it started when I had a dmt flashback while meditating (a&p?) Maybe because I've done a lot of psychedelics too?

A Christian mystic I met at a kava bar told me that if you fast for 7 days you'll see God.

Would you agree that knowledge is an appearance within consciousness? And that because it is an appearance it can't adequately describe the consciousness it appears within?

As someone who vapes , I completely agree with Leo vaping is stupid, pointless. It doesn't even get me buzzed anymore I vape because if I don't I get withdrawls. And I started because I wanted to maintain my oral fixation after quitting weed.

Ultimate truth is whatever is arising in the present that being said, there's a whole other aspect to truth which is discovering more of what is arising in the present so untruth, which is actually still truth, is not understanding what is arising, and you already experience that (at the same time that you experience absolute truth of course) Im pretty sure if materialism were true there would be no possibility of consciousness, so there would be no experience. Reality would be physical, not mental

It's very easy to test psychic phenomena with programming

Obviously you can never escape all suffering , but so much of it is pointless mind chatter I'd rather fall into one of these traps than the other . And they are both traps.

Not checking the forum for a month was very nice Ive done more socializing Learning how to dj Got a fulltime job as a software engineer Now I understand why people start their own business

Buddhism is good at what it was designed for deconstructing suffering

impermanence is Your, God’s, infinite love of novelty death is the ultimate expression of Love

ahh shit is it just semantics, or do you think there is something different between solipsism and nonduality? when I think of solipsism, I guess what I’m thinking of is my own ego being everything. so that’s what, I believe, alien consciousness would disprove.

technically, to debunk solipsism you'd have to experience becoming a different consciousness.... alien consciousness?

Brad warner talked about this. “nonduality” wasn’t really a thing 2500 years ago. the thing the Buddha was saying doesn’t exist is what we would call ego. Zen and Advaita began the true self doctrine about a thousand years after the Buddha died

Buddhism has lots of different schools with lots of different teachings, and even within the schools there is a variety of belief. Huang Po understands. The text you've shared is from the beginning of "The Chün Chou Record of the Zen Master Huang Po (Tuan Chi)," which is part of John Blofeld’s translation of Huang Po's teachings. The excerpt reads as follows:⸻ PART ONE The Master said to me: All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the One Mind, beside which nothing exists. This Mind, which is without beginning, is unborn1 and indestructible. It is not green nor yellow, and has neither form nor appearance. It does not belong to the categories of things which exist or do not exist, nor can it be thought of in terms of new or old. It is neither long nor short, big nor small, for it transcends all limits, measures, names, traces and comparisons. It is that which you see before you—begin to reason about it and you at once fall into error. It is like the boundless void which cannot be fathomed or measured. The One Mind alone is the Buddha, and there is no distinction between the Buddha and sentient things, but that sentient beings are attached to forms and so seek externally for Buddhahood. By their very seeking they lose it, for that is using the Buddha to seek for the Buddha and using mind to grasp Mind. Even though they do their utmost for a full aeon, they will not be able to attain to it. They do not know that, if they put a stop to conceptual thought and forget their anxiety, the Buddha will appear before them, for this Mind is the Buddha and the Buddha is all living beings. It is not the less for being manifested in ordinary beings, nor is it greater for being manifested in the Buddhas.
