Sometimes basic things can be worth mentioning

I agree

What are you trying to say?

It doesn’t include gay marriage so I don’t agree with that. I have catholic background btw so I’m going after what I heard from church

Love can be very egotistical

Yea and something similar is simply referencing things that are occurring/things (or something about the person) currently in the setting you’re in. So if you’re at the club you might mention something about the music. If you’re out in town you mention something about the town. So you just say something that is relevant to the situation and since you’re both in the same place it will fit into the convo with them. It’s super basic tip but it’s not always easy to be present and find these things in the environment to reference because if you’re nervous you can get overly self aware/self focused (in bad way) and get stuck in your head. It’s like being in flow with the environment. Most people have this skill if they’re simply relaxed enough (and interested enough, if not it can seem fake) it’s like if you’re playing a video game and your mind is tuned in/connected to the game so everything you think and say will be connected to it. Then apply this to social situations and you’ll have something fitting and relevant to say and connect over. A way to practice this could be to literally place your attention on the outside world/other people .

What is meant by reason?

I say on WhatsApp

I think what helps is decluttering the mind to make space for the intuition, to hear it better. Sometimes it can be subtle so not always easy to follow. So that means for example getting rid of neurosis, stressors, distractions etc

It seems to me that the brain just thinks. That’s what it does. It doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to survival of the ego. But what gives the brain something to think about is the self, because we feel like real people in a real world, so we have “stuff” to think about, ourselves etc. Without a self, if you dissolve border between you and the world there’s no longer a sense of separate things so maybe not much to think about. No longer relating to the world, others and experiencing yourself.

Beautiful. It sounds like it comes right from the heart

Does he not constantly feel like absolute crap because of the toll it’s taking on his body. Either these kind of people have low body awareness so they’re able to censor all the sensations out of their awareness, or it’s that the substances are so addictive they do it despite the discomfort/pain. I guess it’s a combo. Like if you truly truly felt deeply what it did to your body would you continue? Maybe maybe not

Is this experience of love including a self or is it devoid of it?

Porn is one of those things that can give you excessive dopamine. So if you wanna take care of your brains reward pathways you wanna use it in moderation (or not at all). It’s like with social media, gaming, sweets etc. When you fantasize it usually doesn’t give you as much pleasure as porn because thoughts are more vague than images, so it’s more gentle on your reward pathways and its like you have to work for it a little because you’re the one actively imagining. So that is preferable in some cases. If you really wanna go all the way with it and keep things as natural as possible stick to real sex and fantasy. Then your reward pathways will be associating sex with something more natural. Plus porn has the risk of desensitizing you and making you accustomed to more violent material so it can corrupt your mind meanwhile if you stick to fantasy and sex you stay in touch with a more pure form of your sexuality that is untouched by culture. Just some thoughts

I’m still in disbelief my parents really threw away such a precious substance

Damn so you’re telling me I could essentially escape my own life for thousands of years into dmt realm

Yea that’s in the absolute sense, but I’m talking about nothingness in the relative sense, meaning the absence of something (because in the relative sense there is separate things) . I mean non existence is nothing, so it cannot be experienced or recognized, as we can only experience and recognize “something”. That’s why it seems we just “pass it” in our sleep. So yea you could say non existence never ~is~ because it’s nothing

Cool experience

But how do you know that

Are you aware of the nothingness during deep sleep? No right. So why wouldn’t death be like that (if death is nothingness)

I want same

I tried but was afraid of high dose. I’m basically afraid of enlightenment LOL.

The tough pill to swallow is we have people in this world who dedicate their life to meditation and trip on psychedelics for 100 s times and still not enlightened LOLLLLLL what’s the hope for the rest of us. Even Leo has his self still intact

What’s scary about it? I get horrible reincarnations but what’s scary about ever ending nothingness lol?

Maybe you could measure it by how difficult it is to you. If it’s easy to do that amount then maybe not so much benefit. If it’s difficult for you, and it gets easier with time, then it suggests that you overcame resistance in yourself and that is a win, and it will probably rewire your brain to be able to be more comfortable and in tune with that stillness. Also if you feel how it lessens anxiety, maybe mostly temporary, that’s a sign of change too. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s a guess. And in terms of mystical gain then I do believe the more hardcore is needed unless you’re spiritually gifted. But in terms of more practical concentration ability and ability to sit still in silence then yes a little probably helps
