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!

Gotcha

@Willy Phallicus, I thought about your post to mean something else and jokingly replied. 😄 I assume that would happen when I have more experience. I have too few experiences.

Was it due to Minecraft?

Shit!

Well, there are many more things happening, but never numbness or drunkenness like I can get from alcoholic beverages. Although there could be psychedelics that might harm my body or make me mentally unstable over time, I don't know. Sure. I should have written "A Sudden Awakening Experience Without Psychedelics".

I think it was THC, right? Technically, I was wrong to use the word sober here. From my experience, Awakening is a high level of sobriety, regardless of how it's induced. I haven't experienced drunkenness or numbness from psychedelics. They make me alert and open-minded.

I would have lost my shit. This was my 3rd, so I still can get anxious thinking that I might get mentally ill. It's still a new thing to me. Although this time I was more mentally prepared in facing it and had already started dealing with my health situation. It's been about 10 months since the first two. Ok.

Please, don't expect them to solve your problems. Always start from low doses. I would suggest you to buy multiple of them and just test them enough to understand at which dose it starts to have noticeable changes, but not significant. Then if you want to higher up the dose, pick one and slowly higher up the dose. But I would say do the testing and rest for a time. You always have time to do a serious dose. Testing could go wrong. Don't mix them at your first try. The above is what is on my mind right now. But there is much more to say on psychedelic usage. You can find more information on this forum and other websites. Please check them out by searching. Take your time, don't rush.

It means that there is no intermediary between the observer and the observation. To understand that, you must throw out the view that you are the human body "looking" at an outside world because it's a construction based on the idea that some phenomenon is you and some not. There is literally no distance between you and the mobile phone that you are using. Do you get how magical that is?

I answered by an analogy. You've already heard what produces it from Leo many times, I think. What I'll say is that vision cannot be caused by any phenomenon that it contains. Read my first post in this thread to get it.

Just because a broken pipe stops the water doesn't mean the pipe was creating the pressure in the first place.

This is my approach. Basically, when looking deeply enough, you see that people who think that the brain produces reality are ignoring infinity.

@OBEler, nearly a month ago, I also had a very stable dream, but it was very terrifying. The Earth got out of its orbit for a few minutes and then got back into its orbit again.

Sorry, I should have said that I felt like living for decades because it was stable like my "waking" life. Literally, I was experiencing life like right now. I was also discovering supernatural abilities, e.g., I remember that I was controlling/manipulating electronics from afar by my hands. But right now my memory of the events is very hazy. Just before I woke up, I was feeling very peaceful and loved.

I was pointing out that the speaker wasn't actually saying it's a hallucination. Whatever.

It is fascinating.

I'm with him on taking it seriously, but he is ignorant of the fact that he is on some chemicals. So to think that drugs can't help you get enlightened is misleading. If so, then he would have to discredit his enlightenment by his logic because his criterion is fallacious in the first place. Sure, the body might not contain those chemicals. Its survival won't depend on those chemicals. But that doesn't constitute whether the experiences on those chemicals are false and inferior.

Based on watching the short video, by "hallucination" he means that the textbooks don't represent the reality of cell biology, not that cell biology is a hallucination. He uses the word "hallucination" to say that it's false.

@Leo Gura, thank you for sharing educational philosophical YouTube channels.

The trigger was like this scene from "The Truman Show" movie: The inevitability of the experience that follows the trigger is a hell of a thing. You know that you're in for a ride. How did you handle your first one? I think we can also view the trigger as some chemical change in the body that helped induce that experience, even though I didn't take any psychedelic. A chain reaction of some series of chemical and non-chemical events.

Thank you. It's a mindfuck of some sort. 🫡 🤫 I don't think we have anything to discuss if you don't understand that your visual field is also made up of unicorns when you zoom in or out enough.

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. 🙂
