Just some banter hi

The best bit is from 13:30 to around the 17th minute. (Consciousness as part of the illusion)

Just discovered this guy recently, and every time I listen to him, more and more of the sense of separate self just seems to melt away without any effort. Kinda magical really. It's gotten to the point now that when I think of memories of the past, there are impressions of past events, but I can't find a me in those memories, quite trippy.

Do you have like a website or a youtube channel where you teach this stuff. You seem to have gone quite far with radical nonduality. (I see it's not possible to message you.)

Thank you

You must be a rich man today !

Yeah, I watched the highlights this morning, looked like a proper roller coaster. England could go all the way now. Its been 60 years🙂

Of course.

We got some Viking blood here in South Africa also, they only play rugby tho

Don't worry, with the Psilocybe cubensis I thought I was having a psychotic break. I really did feel like an alien being. (I wish you would release a video on alien intelligence, and shut the naysayers up) All I'm saying about Jim is this: with a permanent cessation of the separate sense of self, what barriers are left

I have had those types of experiences when taking 4 grams of Psilocybe cubensis. I admit, not on the levels I have heard you describe. But we can't live in those states permanently though. I think what is interesting about Jim, and quite rare, is that his sense of separate self has fallen away permanently. Which is why he says that This is not an experience. He seems to be pointing to something beyond a mystical state.

Are you talking about peak mystical states ?

Wow, that's an interesting way of looking at it, I never thought of it like that.

Not sure what you mean, I was simply pointing out that people tend to think that if they let go of their notions of good and bad, that they might end up doing a whole bunch of bad things without caring. It doesn't seems to work like that though in my experience.

I was speaking in general terms.

The mistake is to think that letting go of morality will turn you into a person who acts in immoral ways. Quite the opposite.

Yes, neither good nor bad.

It seems to be a really effective way of pointing out the futility of seeking, ie not giving the individual anything to hold on. And thus allowing for the unravelling of the separate sense of self at quite a rapid rate.

Aha, thanks.

Who says that what Jim is talking about doesn't include the ordinary and the extraordinary ? I think there's actually more similarities between what you and he are saying than you might think. Radical nonduality seems to link up nicely with solipsism.

Interesting interview with a philosophy student.

Starts at around the 4min mark.

You kinda need to see through maya first to realize that, right ?

Were you ever really not immortal ?

I could be wrong, but has neuroscience not somehow proved that freewill is somehow an illusion, ie we think we are the thinker, but actually ultimately thoughts are just happening. Life is happening automatically by itself, ie we not in control.
