Hi. A few days ago I had 2 significant insights about reality - noself and connection between me and other people. Those insights happened after Leo's video about solipsism (I made his exercise). I realized on the intuitive/feeling level that some stuff were true. However my mind still bother with many questions and try to rationalize stuff - for example it tries to manipulate the vision of the emptiness and needs to conceptualize it. Although I can feel that and I have no objections about for example the noself issue in self-inquiry, I have an impression that my left-side brain is trying to force some things. Is it normal? - The thing that rational knowledge or doubts come with companion of solid inner feeling? Can all of that be classified as an real insight despite everything? I wanna underline that I am rather at the early level (1.5 year of practice). Thanks.

Hello. I was treated for depression in clinical conditions by a drug called "Spravato". In brief - I had a spiritual high when I felt like one with the Universe, Big Bang and transcendent with everything around me. I felt like the physical world was extremely plastic and unreal. Very interesting, life-changing (in terms of perspective) experience (dissociation). What's more interesting, when I was sitting next to the doctor of mine (she observed my reactions), she told that the time which passed at the end of that stuff was like 40 min. The issue is that I felt like it was 10 min max. Besides it was not only feeling. I really experienced different time. For me it's interesting how can two different people 'synchronize' themselves in movement, having different time lapse.. Do you have some idea about that?

Hello. Are awakening states or enlightenment possible on antipsychotic drugs? I am bipolar, take aripiprazole and I'm really engaged on spiritual path so I'm curious if does it even matter. Thanks.

Hello. I've been practicing Self inquiry for at least one month day by day, for over an hour on average. Last 3 days, I've seen some 'potentially' spiritual moments. First one was when I've come to sincere realization that any theories about the Universe or the World are just stupid, because we need to focus only on our direct experience. Because of that when I was watching Leo's video (about pointing about some fantasies about everything or people imagination/ideas) I was literally able to agree with him in all of his teachings. However as I say - it was the sincere perspective from my side. Like if I didn't really have any barriers to accept this fact. Next 'insight' started when I woke up. I was feeling a slight impression about the world - that it's all just illusion. But the short term of that potential insights and not really strong/vibrant nature of those, created some doubts within me if they are really valid. In other words - what is your opinion about spiritual insights? What could be a measure of bias and on the other hand the measure of real insight? What do you think? Thanks.

Thank you guys! I guess that I'm doing it correctly now. I just needed to be certain.

Hello. What are the examples of effects I may expect after doing constant sessions of self-inquiry? At the beginning of this year (7 months with a break and after that coming back), I was doing some of S-Inquiry work. I would say that it wasn't some huge amount of time daily - something like only 30 minutes on average, not sure. Besides I did it wrong because I was doing some kind of mantra instead of it. From now (one week) I started again - 2h on average. I was just curious about your opinions and from your experience. What are potential possible results that a person can expect and after what amount of time? As I say, I'm not asking about the general rule, because I know that's not like that. I just want to know your experiences. Btw. Could you please give me some tip about possible mistakes during the process? I would like to make sure that I do everything properly. Thx :>
