Also I would add that it feels like you are becoming existentially sober and going insane at the same time When you are on the "path" towards enlightenment, it feels like it is an event far in the future. But when it is actually happening, you are in disbelief. You are so not ready, but also realise you could never be ready for this The quality of the moment, of your being rises to unimaginable degrees. But what's meant by quality is hard to put into words

If your "religion" is based on ideas, then it's already off to a good start

Don't expose us like that Please enlighten me, what about the language I used was cultish?

@Thought Art You are kind of all over the place, it's hard to pin you down and make a counter argument. It's like you are having a conversation with yourself You say that you knew you were god in fourth grade and then you say you still can't grok god You say psychedelics are very powerful, but then you say they only make out one percent of your spirituality

Yes, that was really uncomfortable Did them three times or so and it always wasn't worth it overall. That woody taste will haunt me for the rest of my life

Ok, now you are just mean for no reason

You still haven't gotten my sense of humor Agreed. Very open to all techniques What do you exactly mean when you say an insight was not true? If it was untrue, how did you realise that it was untrue afterwards? You are more conscious during the trip, so how did you verify it as being someting untrue in your sober, less conscious state?

Yeah, that white coating is quite toxic. You should put them in water for a few minutes and remove it. Also important to get chemically untreated ones. Ask the seller beforehand. Often you can find these at flower seed shops or whatever they are called. But I wouldn't recommend cause those are usually treated ones The taste honestly is atrocious. Never tasted anything this unpleasant. The trips were also a bit weird. They had this dark, callous undertone. I felt like a psychopath, didn't really like them. Also no big insights compared to shrooms. But I might still give them a chance in the future

Where y'all at? This guy needs a beating

What we generally call life is a joke, we have mistaken activities and possessions as life. You are your life, so you are not leaving anything behind. I would consider myself this "leaver-type", so I might be biased. If I had the means do so I would go on an island and live in a cabin for years until all existential questions are answered. But, I guess you can do that in a city with not so conscious family members around aswell, it's just less ideal

wise af

Please tell me you are joking...

@Michiryoku I wouldn't say I gained it, it was a sneak peak Through mushrooms/meditation actually Not a particular color, cause it hasn't much to do with categories. But the closed eyes visuals on shrooms are very purple dominant. Those high states do "feel" quite purpley, that is right. There is a reason why the crown chakra is purple

@Michiryoku yeah, that impression captures it well ?

your beard game is strong

And that also is just a map Now it's your turn again

No, when you are still nihilistic, that is the "honeymoon" phase. Enlightenment is twisted in that regard. It is horrendous in the beginning and then once you deeper it becomes heavenly. Nothing has a meaning means nihilism has no meaning, which means you are free. If you are still nihilistic, then you are not free. Enlightenment is freedom

disagree In germany we say "Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte", which translates as "A picture says more than thousand words" And I think that is true With a picture you can at least be more precise with the image. Film, video, painting etc. I would also count as picture. With words that part is up to the person who is creating the image. There lies more falsity

Not really enlightened but had an enlightenment experience It feels like this and everything starts "feeling" like this

Shrooms tend to be sensitive to heat

There was a fellow a few weeks ago who plugged mushrooms using cocoa butter as support. An expert ever since on these type of things Have you tried it with ginger? It works quite well fighting nausea

Way too needy. That neediness is the problem

This is really good You certainly can turn everthing into a status. I thought about this topic aswell I see this with many green-type people. They act in a anti-materialist, anti-consumerist, anti-status way but that itself becomes the status. Now the status is not about how much you own, it's about how little you own. I am guilty of this too But, I would say not everything is about showing off. Intention is important. You can be genuine at all these stages Also, this attitude of going "meta" on the ego itself could be seen as a meta-ego. You could be showing off by acting as if you see through all of the egos games. Are you showing off with this thread? And could I be showing off with my response here? Am I now showing off with me being aware over the fact that I could be showing off? ... endlessly it goes. You see, it's twisted

Can I trust you?

Yes In most parts of the world women are still quite suppressed. They are busy fighting for basic women rights, like not getting raped And there is definitely more social pressure on women to be a certain way than there is on men Generally I would say most women tend to be a people pleaser type which makes one dependent on other people. But spirituality at times requires you to be bold and not give a fuck about other people. They lack that freed up attitude
