@Leo Gura, Christians view meditation and yoga as demonic too. Even when some of them don't demonize it that much, they prioritize their dogma over the tools as long as they don't make them stray away from their dogma. For them, dogma is above awakening and direct experience, because they treat their dogma as absolute. They are so afraid that they will be lured by the devil if they don't follow their dogma, not knowing that they already failed by being close-minded and dogmatic.

Why not pure chemicals? You live in a country where it would be easy to buy pure chemicals. You can dose them more precisely. The first time I was there I took Psilocybe Tampanensis truffles. I thought it would be light, but I had the most crazy trip.

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

Couldn't agree more. It's the true Satanism, because they use the idea of Satan to cast judgment onto others which ironically makes them not self-reflective and blinds themselves from realizing that like everyone, they have been the Satan (ego) as well. Their lack of self-awareness about being Satan makes them satanic. I've said this weeks ago.

Another time I became an infinite field of rhythmic mechanical patterns on psilocin. It was analogous to the following: There were rhythmic sounds of mechanical movements that are like in the video below:

I have identified with the thing in the image below on DMT: That's not an exact depiction. I have used AI to create it. It was hyper-dimensional. It was way beautiful and detailed.

What a great talk!

You'll know once you experience God.

The Truth slaps so good that I might actually see God and shout hallelujah. 😇👋

I appreciate the directness!

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!

"God" is probably one of the most abused words. People use it to brainwash others. Does that restrict us to use that word?

Money is very hypnotic. The anchors of the hypnosis are the stuff that money gives you access to.

That's genius. 🥹

If you could only choose to use one psychedelic for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

I want to try that one day. Sometimes the worst thing that happens to us is the best thing in retrospect.

It really makes a difference to have a genuine intention of knowing the truth about something. It's genius. If truth didn't exist, how come you can have that intention? Even if you deceive yourself into thinking that you have that intention, how can the deception be about something that is not about deception? How can you counterfeit money that doesn't exist?

Great example! 😆

Yeah. It is literally the act of copying the characteristics of your own experience and attaching it to some sensory phenomenon while imagining the experience that sensory phenomenon is having based entirely on what you have directly perceived over the years.

Imagination is a wild thing. I would add that those indirect experiences are less fundamental in their nature than direct experience, because the idea of indirect experience is built on top of your direct experience, even if you imagine that there are experiences out there existing with yours. But I assume you got what I said. 🙂

The correct way would be to say that the experiences that parts are having in your own experience (other people) is an imagination on top of your own experience, because your experience is direct. To say that there are other experiences happening beside your experience is false. To say that people cannot reflect some experience you might have is also false. The imagination of other people's experience existing is itself direct as it is happening in your experience. However, what the imagination refers to can never be direct. Non-direct experiences do not exist the same way as direct experience; they are not actual. The latter is more fundamental. The problem is that treating non-direct experiences as actual comes from ignoring that you are imagining qualia as non-self-evident to construct the idea of non-direct experiences. Let's say you are a writer. Do the experiences of the characters you create actually exist? No, you just imagine their experiences as if they are actual.

Years back I would have ignored her experience by labeling it as merely religious belief and not real. But now I can empathize with her. It's profound; it brings tears to my eyes.

I think this thread is getting derailed too much.

@cetus, I am imagining non-direct experiences on top of my experience. That construction is built on top of the fact that some part of my experience can be aware of what I can experience, which is a deeper thing than the first one I said. I'm enjoying the show.
