Seems legit, will try out this method and see what happens.

Hi, everyone, new to the forum. Reading through some threads made I recall a Salvia trip that I had about 5 years ago. I saw a humongous zipper thing in the space, and I took a peek into it. I had a feeling that on the other side, it is the TRUTH. I felt if I enter the zipper (or you can say "unzip it"), I will experience the TRUTH fully. However, I stopped. Because I was so scared. My gut feeling told me that once I enter the other side, I won't be able to come back to this delusional "reality", or I might fully realize that everything I had, experienced was all "fake" and I did not want to do so; My girlfriend at the time was sitting outside in the living room. I was so afraid that I would "lose" her from being truly understanding that everything is "fake". So I stopped. I did not enter the other side. Did anyone else experience similar thing before? What's your suggestion? Should I "enter the other side" for the potential TRUTH if I am in similar situation next time? The fear was just so scary which also combines with immense sadness of realizing that everything I experienced in my life was "not real".

@Leo Gura Concise, wise, and to the point, as usual. Thank you very much for the answer, Leo. It really helps. Meditate to clear the recurring delusional fog thus capable of having a good life. @Kshantivadin Thank you. Yes, subjectively I'm still me in my daily life. @Nahm Thank you. You guys are right. My life is not the best at the moment. To make most out of it, I shall keep practicing as Leo said.

Hello, everyone. My first time here and I can't wait to join this community and learn from everyone. First of all, I really want to thank Leo for all the life lessons and suggestions. Leo, you are a real pioneer who is so open-minded and so creative in exploring different methods of reaching enlightenment. You are a true mentor who has found his life purpose and dedicated to teach and help others. I truly appreciate what you offered all these years. Your selfless teachings mean a lot to me in my life. Back to the topic. I stopped doing serious meditation 10 years ago. Why? Because I slowly realized if I die I will join the TRUTH naturally and automatically without doing anything, or you can say, I am the TRUTH already all these time. Leo has mentioned similar thing in various teaching videos. If this is so, then why shall we meditate, train, and do any spiritual exercise? In a lots of religions, mentors asks practicers to dedicate their entire life for practicing/ training/ meditating (Sādhanā/ 修行), for the purpose of achieving/ reaching the TRUTH, why practice/ train/ meditate if we are already the TRUTH?
