I've heard you explain this experience before, it's amazing. @Adamq8 what was the comedown like? what was your girlfriend's reaction? what did she trip? did you two continue your relationship?

When I do the do nothing meditation, I find myself telling myself that everything I'm experiencing is me. That I am dreaming the birds flying by, the grass, the trees. That all of this was created by me. When I think of my family inside the house, they aren't real. They are just my imagination. When my dog comes outside, It's just me putting it back into reality, and when he goes back inside the house, it's just me emitting a part of myself from reality. I can understand these concepts and it feels like I'm just trying to convince myself until I believe it, which will lead to becoming conscious of oneness. I would also like to note that I don't feel scared of believing this. It might be because I'm so far from believing it. Maybe deep down I'm still grounded to believing that I live on planet earth and that everyone around me is separate from me. Thinking about being conscious of this doesn't scare me. only when I come into contact with a human I find it scary to believe that they are me and I'm creating them. I've never taken any psychedelics before. I really want to experience reality from this state of oneness conscious. As I said, I don't feel the thought of it but If I were to become conscious of this, I'd probably shit myself. How do I know when I'm ready to take it all in? And awakening, is it just convincing yourself that you are everything? Just like when I convinced myself that science was the reason for my existence.

@Nahm I will gladly take free insight. thank you!

it cant be a distraction if it can be a distraction

@Nahmdo you mean letting go of my thoughts and just focus on sensation?

@Porphyry FedotovYea, I'm too caught up in conceptualizing it.

@Ry4nThank you very much! I will try this today!

I'm not contemplating consuming Psychedelics so I can go fuck around in the forest. My desire is to understand Truth/God/Reality and psychedelics are a tool that I can use to get there.

I figured, thank you.

I watched Leo's video titled "Understanding Relativism" yet I still can't fully grasp this concept. Leo gave the example of how the Earth cannot float because it will fall, but it can't fall because it's falling in all directions. I believe I was conscious of relativism for a couple of minutes because I just sat there astonished, dying of laughter in my chair for 5 minutes or so. Was this a "mystical experience" of some sort? As I went on with the discussion, It felt as if I couldn't understand relativism anymore. Leo mentioned something about the scientist being the world and the world being the scientist, I've been trying to understand these more radical relativistic ideas but it's tough. How can relativism lead to a mystical experience if it's a theory equally as valid as solipsism?

ahh, so why does he talk about relativity if it's just imagination and concept? Is there even a point to teaching all of this stuff if reality is this direct experience?

lmao, likewise.

The belief that solipsism is a belief, within its self, is a belief

lack of education perhaps? ignorance.

I have been pondering upon the question "What are photos and videos?" for a while now. Inferring that birth is just a belief system (due to concept and imagination), If I were to have photos and videos of my birth, then what are the pictures and videos? Am I just labeling all photos and videos of me as me?
