Thought about how I felt weightless and ethereal and like I was being pulled upwards while doing it

I’m considering going to college for psychology. But I’m not sure if it would be useful for understanding the mind. Because they probably won’t incorporate the transcendental and mystical aspects of the psyche. Do you think that a degree is psychology is useful for understanding the mind?

Lately I’ve been meditating a lot and so my mind has been in a more meditative state while falling asleep. I find that I need to watch some mindless Social media crap in order to exit the meditative state so I can let go enough to fall asleep. How do I fall asleep without exiting the meditative state?

@DreamScape so then how would u properly study psychology?

@Carl-Richard But why not just study them online? The works of these great psychologists are not the same as the text books in college, they were ahead of their time by far and the mainstream is still catching up.

Lately I have been feeling like what I truly want is a lot of worldly success. I want what Elon musk has, but without doing the work. I feel like heaven would be living as a rich, physically attractive, highly intelligent person who uses the world as their personal playground. A person who is a member of the most exclusive clubs, and has the most cool friends. Meanwhile I know intellectually that these desires are in large part motivated by a lack of understanding of myself. How do I explain to my heart that it does not need these things to be happy? And what else do you think I might be missing? Thank You

Drop any good movies you’ve seen which are about spirituality. They don’t really have to be ABOUT spirituality, just spirituality significant in some way. Here’s some I like:

List any commonly made assumptions you can think of which I haven’t already listed. In order to see what people don’t want to question. ASSUMPTIONS: other people have consciousness the world exists when I am not perceiving it I’m smarter than most people I will die I am a human I’m not dreaming What scientists say is provable If I don’t eat food I will die my parents are my parents I was born my memories of past events are accurate everything is made of atoms I am more virtuous than most people Tomorrow will happen I’d be happy if I had what I think I want

What is asking why? What are u really asking? When you ask “how?” you can get an answer to how it happened by understanding it’s construction But “why?” doesn’t make any sense because things just are, there doesn’t seem to be any “why” to it, no reason to it really.

I want to understand everything. What I’m wondering is if the desire to understand is ultimately the desire to control your surroundings? Because to understand is to see how something works, and once u see how something works then you can control it.

The Christian bible confuses me. It seems to have a lot of wisdom and also a lot of stupidity. What do you think it is about and why? What is it made for? Im also curious about the tree of knowledge and the burning bush as a metaphor for psychedelics.

What world?

How much do you think sadhguru knows and what are the limits of his sight? He seems to know a lot but sometimes panders to people who want a more basic view of things, so I’m not sure tbh. He also claims to have a bunch of powers that I have absolutely no idea how to obtain. Is this just because yoga is way more powerful than I thought it was or what?

God feels bad sometimes

Why do you want me to awaken?

@Leo Gura Because I’m hungry, I guess. and so I won’t die.

Yeah well…. now I’m creeped out and also unsurprised, because yeah that makes sense.

If ur put in solitary confinement u have all the time in the world to do nothing, and ur almost always alone. They must live in their imaginations. Wouldn't this make them much more self-aware? So why aren't they always having awakenings?

My dreams often give me epiphanies Similar to psychedelics. But It’s almost never a strong as a psychedelic. Is anyone able to make their dreams give them psychedelic experiences?

@thepixelmonk psychological torture sounds like a good way to awaken

bro there is no difference

@Leo Gura Still doesn’t answer why you don’t point to nightly dreams as a useful method for awakening.

@Leo Gura Then how come you hardly ever talk about nightly dreams?
