@RMQualtrough Haha. It doesn't have to be a permanent state though. You could access it, make the change and then come back to a more limited state.

@RMQualtrough I agree. I have experienced it a little differently though. I am still me, that part isn't dissolved. What I am interested in exploring is the possibility of using psychedelics to achieve expanded states where we could potentially co create a change in our reality and see it instantly manifest. I don't see why this shouldn't be possible. I have already done it many times, just not instantly.

@RMQualtrough Matthew is evolving and also co creating with the higher mind. That is what my direct experience has shown me. I don't feel dissolve back into it is the right description. It's more like expand to become it.

@Dazgwny I somewhat disagree. I have achieved very expanded states of consciousness all the way to becoming God or all that is. I feel for me part of this game is discovering how to transcend the self imposed limitations I have created for myself.

@Dazgwny Of course. I'm referring to changing something physical though. This is what I am interested in exploring and experimenting with.

@Maka It's not so much about changing the game as transcending the self imposed limitations we have created.

@Maka Limitations of the self are part of the game.

@Maka I hear your point. But I also think part of the game is figuring out ways to transcend the limitations of the game.

@Maka I feel we can access it though. I have even in my normal state of consciousness using imagination. There is always a delay of time though before it shows up in my reality. We should potentially be able to access that level, change something and instantly see it reflected in our reality. Psychedelics may be very helpful with this. I'm not sure, you would have to experiment.

@Leo Gura This is a very individual thing. I experience instant manifestation in my dreams while sleeping all the time and the vast majority of my dreams are very enjoyable.

Since all of the different methods we utilize to have insights and awakenings are being imagined by us to justify a shift in our state, there should be an even more direct route. We should just as easily be able to circumvent or bypass all these steps we create and just experience the shift now. We are already awakened and imagining that we aren't. Have any of you had success in bypassing any chains of causation? If so, how did you achieve it? Was is just a matter of intention, conviction and focus?

@Raptorsin7 I see. I wonder if anyone has ever experienced a permanent change in their reality? Like the walls being a different color or the shape of windows changing. Something like that. All the trip reports I have read and watched, it only seems to affect the user, not consensus reality. And even then only to a certain extent. For example during your trip you may imagine you could put your hand through a wall, or that the painting on your wall dissolved and disappeared, but if you had a camera recording your trip and you tried to put your hand through the wall it wouldn't go through and you would see the painting still hanging there. I wonder how deep we have to go to affect this level of imagination?

@Raptorsin7 That is interesting. Do they remain dissolved after your trip is over?

Interesting video. There are many interesting insights and paradoxes to explore in tripping with a partner that are not revealed exploring solo.

@AnthonyR Fascinating report Anthony! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed it, especially the part about reality construction.

@Galyna Looking forward to hearing your insights. I am glad his books are resonating with you.

@The0Self Thank you! Your reply was very helpful. Yes. I have already experienced the universal expanded self. This is not so much my goal currently because I wouldn't be able to function as a human in that state. There is another state I have accessed that is a step down from this. I'm not sure what to call it. I feel very expansive and connected to everything, but I am still Matthew and able to fully enjoy life and the human experience. But all my fears and concerns are gone. I feel very empowered and tremendous joy and appreciation for everything. My goal is to achieve sustaining this state.

@Rokazulu Good point! I have experienced the state, I just haven't been able to sustain it. I am not opposed to a more gradual process. There can a lot of joy and discovery in that process as well. It just once I awakened to realize I was imagining my limitations, lack of awareness, and these processes to awaken, I began to contemplate the possibility of a more instant shift in my state of consciousness. I agree with your point about the body being prepared to hold the energy though.

@amanen Well, I think the belief that it is possible is the first step. There are instances of people having instantaneous profound shifts in their state of consciousness, they just are rare.

@Rokazulu As my awakenings became deeper, I realized I actually had never done a spiritual practice or taken a psychedelic. These were just things I had imagined to explain or justify experiencing an insight or expanded state of consciousness. If that is the case, then I should be able to circumvent these imagined processes and steps and just experience the state now.

@Chrisd I became aware of this during expanded states of consciousness.

Accessing and embodying are two very different things.

@Someone here I hear ya. Well, you have to remember Leo is working to embody his insights and teachings as well. Try to have some patience with him. He is learning and evolving as all of us are.

@Focus I didn't. I was including them in the chains of causation.

@axiom Thank you! Can you share more about your success in achieving this?
