I've experienced stimulant psychosis a few times on purpose in order to explore consciousness. Feels incredibly paranoid, everything is about you personally (so extreme survival/'ego'/fear mode), you misinterpret any small sounds as talking to you personally (like wind can sound like whispering to you), you create extremely indirect stories that are very abstract and have nothing to do with your direct experience. You also feel like you found out some conspiracy theories about the universe, except unlike with awakening, these are negative stories having to do with control. Sensory data can also be interpreted in completely abstract and bizarre ways Wasn't actually capable of getting full on audio/visual hallucinations other than misinterpretation It feels in a lot of ways like the opposite of awakening, instead of direct experience, letting go, knowledge of being God, love, etc, you get the extreme sensation of an 'other' as the ego feeling. Wouldn't recommend as a state to anybody, though I find it valuable that I have explored such states as well

There is only God. To this day I have not been able to find an ego

Ceasing to talk with people would mean selectively ignoring certain aspects of your own mind because other people are simply parts of your own mind

You can achieve levels of this with high dose psychedelics, you can do anything with consciousness. You also can manifest anything from thin air, but this is rather hard to control. Object displacement was my first encounter with powers like this.

I don't know about talking to the dead but paranormal abilities like siddhis are real and you start manifesting them spontaneously at high levels of consciousness. It's direct power from knowing you are God

I think its false to say the dreams are noncurrent because from the standpoint of no time they are all happening in the present moment, though this one dream is by no means influenced by any other dream. By that I mean everybody you see are still inside your consciousness. As for the experience of a brain, or a face, or a head, you can actually become so conscious that it is realized that only your direct experience is real, and that the body is completely hallucinatory even as you experience it it partially. There is no such thing as a body, it is always a partial experience, and when you are not experiencing the rest of the body, it actually does not even exist.

The title really says it all, but I will try to elaborate on this. All of existence, consciousness itself, can only experience things from one perspective at a time. What does this mean? It means that the whole universe, God, whatever you want to call it, all of it, the whole thing, is focused on viewing itself from your perspective at the moment. This means that you are literally it, not anybody else. Nobody else is currently conscious. If somebody else was conscious at the same time as you are, that would mean there was another consciousness. But I am saying since you are reading this right now, consciousness is currently working from that perspective, and that perspective only. There are no two simultaneous perspectives, because the universe pours all of its attention, on you. This does not imply solipsism, that your perspective is THE only one, forever. It means that consciousness plays all of the perspectives, one at a time, but currently, it is ALL focused on you. As this perspective, I am the only consciousness right now, but as I am reading this as 'you', I know I really wrote this too. This just means consciousness is the same everywhere. Consciousness is outside of time, and time is just a construct you are making right now, so you don't have to think that consciousness takes these perspectives in a linear fashion. It doesn't occur inside time at all. But all of reality has been created solely for the perspective I am currently reading this from. This is not egotistical, this is a fact. Again, this does not mean that the writer is not conscious, it means that consciousness cannot play two perspectives at once, and literally, all of it is your show. Any thoughts on this?

I have experimented with antipsychotics and have found them to do absolutely nothing beneficial, at least for me personally. Out of all the drugs I have tried, they have been the worst in the overall experience. They killed my imagination, made me tired, killed my focus and concentration ability, made me apathetic, gave me anhedonia, and so forth. I also found that being in the present moment, the key point with enlightenment, was incredibly difficult. I have had so many weird experiences that if I were to share them with any normal person, they would probably put me on antipsychotic medication forcefully. I'd rather be insane than go with what society or anybody for that matter thinks is normal behavior. If you genuinely believe you 'need' any, then go ahead, but if you can even consider the possibility that maybe you are just different, not somehow mentally broken, then I don't think you need any.

As far as I understand reality, with sufficient consciousness, yes you could do this. Consciousness is not separate in the first place, it is just an illusion of separation. If you were to do anything remotely like this, it would completely shatter all of your worldviews, including space/time/distance/memory/notion of other people/etc, and you could probably not be able to lead a human life. What I mean is that at this moment, these limitations do not exist either, and they are as imaginary as anything else. Don't believe me though, if you are interested in things like this, do your own testing and confirm it for yourself. But as a fair warning, if you ever actually succeed in anything, you will not be able to keep your sanity though. Or you can always rationalize it away later.

I don't consider death bad in any sense at all, I think what is most important is if the lifeform suffers when they live, not if they are bred to die. Personally, I consider fungi and plants sentient beings capable of pain and suffering as well, so I am incapable of living without causing suffering. They are merely far more different from us than something like a dolphin is, so we have trouble having empathy towards them. The problem is that we do not know how sentient they are exactly, due to how different they are. They might go through as much subjective pain as any animal does, but due to our forms of experience being so different, we cannot even start to conceive this. Alternatively, they might be less aware than animals, in which case, they indeed would be the better alternative to eating than animals, since this would inflict less suffering in general. But I think we are just biased towards the latter option due to how different they are. In the end, I eat meat and will never stop eating meat, and I completely support the notion of being eaten myself after I have died, in fact, I would loathe to die in a grave instead of being taken back to the cycle.

I'm sure in the infinity of consciousness there would be such a manifestation somewhere

If you cannot call Consciousness God then I'm not sure if you have actually experienced it at a deep enough level. It doesn't matter what name you use.

There is no such thing as absolutely real reality. There is only imagination. The experience you have is just imagination that is so vivid that it has literally been materialized. And so you think it is real. In fact, all experience is just desire that has been manifested in this manner. It is not that it is somehow real. There is literally nothing that can limit imagination. Obviously, in everyday life, due to the level of your consciousness, you would not have the power to literally materialize the flying spaghetti monster. But as Leo pointed out, if you took enough LSD, you could actually manifest it if you really desired to. I don't mean as a mere hallucination. Whether you can manifest something only as a thought/concept, as a private hallucination, or as a 'collective' reality, merely depends upon the degree of power of your consciousness.
