I find it interesting and frightening at the same time that there is a possibility of having a sudden intense Awakening experience sober that is equally profound when taking a psychedelic. To be honest, I never thought it would happen to me. Today I woke up from sleeping, at which I had a dream of me living a totally different life for decades. When I suddenly woke up, I couldn't bear the reality that it ended and now I'm in a different reality. The thought of neither one being less real in my mind triggered an Awakening experience which led me to recognize that this reality is a dream through and through. I was swimming in pure NOTHINGNESS and EMPTYNESS for a minute. The distinction between my nightly dreams and waking reality was TOTALLY unimagined. I was left ALONE, because I am DREAMING the dream that everyone is part of. Endlessly Melting! Too profound! The realization that no one has truly awakened or will ever wake up other than myself is truly shocking!

I understood the logic, but awakening to that is totally different, because I literally woke up from another reality that was too real to forget quickly. The assumption that my waking reality is more real got shaken at that moment.

I was discovering my telekinetic powers in my sleep. 😁

I have had an experience of something taking over my mind. That was again when I was about to wake up from my sleep. I heard alien clicking sounds and was melting through reality. It was like being possessed. 🙂

Well, it's shocking. It was spontaneous; I haven't even meditated for a long time. I think my previous serious psychedelic experiences have somewhat to do with this.

You are dreaming this reality to perfection!!!

What movie have you recently watched, or are you now watching? I have yet to finish watching the movie "The Irishmen".

Actualized.org is much more intelligently structured than religions. From my understanding, Actualized.org's purpose isn't about making you believe things or providing a moral system to conform to. Religions have a baked-in epistemology, which is faith- and belief-based. That epistemology, ironically, is taken for granted and assumed to be absolute, which makes them less intelligent.

WTF!

@Leo Gura, so, do you love everything about your culture(s)? Certainly, there are things that you don't love. I might help cultivate and develop my culture to make it more open-minded (assuming I can do that), but not necessarily accept biased stuff and conformities. It's like you are saying that to love your friends, you should love their toxic behaviors, and if you don't, then you don't really love them. Well, I can accept them as they are and help them develop themselves, but I won't tolerate or encourage their toxic behavior; otherwise, I would be an idiot. Also, why would I limit myself to loving one culture? It makes no sense. I can love whichever I want. And, yeah, loving a culture is hard when there is too much nonsense in it. Those people will never understand that.

Well, people will fight for their culture because their values align with their culture's values. So, as long as mine aligns mostly with some culture's values, I can imagine a scenario where I get shot in the head for defending it against an actual threat. But I haven't found such a culture yet.

Yeah, I can imagine that. I would helplessly love my hypnosis. My culture would be greater than other cultures for me. I can also imagine myself fighting for other cultures against my culture as well. In reality, I'm drawn toward a culture that is more developed; that's my bias, you could say. I was brought up in different cultures. And honestly, I'm not willing to be shot in the head for any culture on identitarian grounds.

Isn't their love biased? I'm not judging.

Gossiping.

@Xonas Pitfall, their love of their culture comes before their love of the truth. Thus, their culture automatically seems infallible to them.

Fireworks.

Gosh 😣

Ice bucket challenge.

Have you checked your health situation? Perhaps it's health-related if it's not your doing, or you might have contradictions or assumptions that you're still holding that are being unearthed.

And any phenomenon in the visual field, by the virtue of being visual, is limited; it's in the visual category. If we assume that all visual phenomena are caused by the brain, then what causes the brain must be the brain itself; however, it's impossible because the brain must be prior to itself, like it is for other visual phenomena. But it can't. So either it doesn't cause, or a part of the brain causes. That part of the brain would also need to cause itself, however that's not possible as it has to be prior to itself too. So, this method would not yield an answer, because there's no end to the process. The whole approach is wrong because it assumes that the visual aspect of the brain (it could have been any visual phenomenon) is more real than other visual phenomena, focusing on how it affects other visual phenomena and ignoring the infinite resolution of the visual field.
