It can be 'experienced' without psychadelics as well. It's simply seeing reality in it's natural state. We can also flip that question around. How do you know your not fooling yourself right now? You do it by examining what you are experiencing with a magnifying glass. Very fair. ? Yes it will be a subjective truth. You can try to communicate it with others but it can't be proven or understood unless it's been 'experienced' by the other.

The mind will try to understand it. But it can't since it simply an experience within the now.

@TheAvatarState Sounds like you are bumping up against identification/resistance to fear and the only way through it is meeting it. Are you connected well to intuition? Seeing the way intuition is guiding you and how thought and feeling identification is resisting to follow intuition helps. It might look like this: Intuition: go talk to that person. Feeling: A contraction in the gut. Mind: I dont want to go there. I'll talk to him later. I feel so awkward talking to people. (Fear) Breaking the identification with mind (fear) will lessen the fear with time. As a final note I want to say that it's better to start small. Examine how this fear is controlling you and meet it in small ways. It might be as small as walking to the mail box or putting down you phone. Hope this helps.

If you want to know the Truth then yes. That's not what everyone wants so you have to make a choice. Pursuit of best interests, what serves you best would be an egoic pursuit.

@karkaore Reminds me of this video. Maybe it will be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zIKQCwDXsA

@VeganAwake Peeling the onion is a great talk. ?

Yes, a divine and loving drama whore

@spiritualryan They would wake up and realize it was just a dream. ?

Yes, thought happens. It's an experience just like the other senses. No need to stop thought because the only thing that tries to stop thought is also thought.

So you don't have a video on the same topic?

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Glad your feeling better. Good luck on your journey and keep praying. <3

The death that is experienced as the final layer of self dissolves.

@VeganAwake Thank you for that but the video did not adress the same issue.

Could you link videos on that? That is the only video I have found that is dealing with that topic.

You're welcome and thank you for your honesty. That is a very courageous thing to do and essential for growth.

That's good that you can see how theybare not serving you. Can you also see that they are not true?

Inquire into that question and it will be revealed to you. You werent aware of it so how can you blame yourself for it? Also you say you have low self esteem. Now look at the thoughts you've written about yourself. How do they make you feel? How are they serving you? Are they really true?

A nice honest introspection. Go deeper and inspect that fear. Why are you avoiding that person? What are you afraid of?

Yes blind spots where Ego is hiding. As the last layer of ego is dissolved there is an experience of death.

Yeah there's a gravity but not a gravitor that chooses if it happens or not. Or like a ripple in a pond. From the ripples POV it's moving forward. It's getting somewhere but from the ponds POV there is nothing happening. The pond is not going anywhere and the ripple was just an effect of the pebble being tossed in the pond. The ego identification happens but it is just the ripple in the pond. From the egos perspective there's death but death is just the experience of the ripples energetic movement ebbing out.

Because there is nothing to reflect back upon it. Just as a perfectly transparent window can only be seen if there is dirt on it.

So craving attention because your resisting loneliness? What story is coming up and what feelings?

Good Point(er). ?

@VeganAwake no pointer is perfect I guess.

Yes some disentangling happens by itself but some might need further investigating to be disentangled. We could see it as a misidentification I use it aswell sometimes but that does not explain the reassembling or reidentification that happens after the initial seeing and not death experience when the last layer of ego is shed.
