I wanna warn fellow travellers about this trap I've myself fallen for. It's becoming more and more clear to me that the spiritual dogma of getting rid of the ego is profoundly neurotic, problematic, deceitful and a hindrance for reaching the most holistic Awakenings. What will happen as you walk this path is a deeper connection with your self, the whole narrative of ego creates distance and unconsciousness from yourself. You deny yourself, you criticise yourself, you change yourself, but you always ARE yourself. Higher Awakenings are about being yourself, becoming more aware of every corner of your psyche and infusing it with profound Love, acceptance and Infinite Self-embracement. Work with that for some time, if what has been stated is already realised and you wanna go a step further continue reading. You will eventually see that ego is nothing but a fancy word for the I and then you realise that this I you wanted to get rid of, it's God, making it such a delicious twisted self-deception to see through and a profound reconnection into self-awareness, Self-Love and innate Awake Divinity.

Few people understand Nithyananda, once see superficially, others dislike their Hindu style and the rest fall on the fake news but then think they wouldn't have crucified Christ on their time, it's okay, I've gotten through it. On the other hand, you haven't tried any of his techniques, you haven't tried his 108 asana (I've done them sober and on LSD), or his 308 asanas, or his unclutching meditations, or his oneness capsules (life transforming), or his live two-way initiations (I've experienced kundalini Awakenings, powers, healing, samadhis, ecstasy for days, exotic states of consciousness, baseline consciousness increases, herbs that have enhanced my life, etc.) It's funny cause you think I talk on my ass but I sit on immense research and practice every time I talk. I'm a fucking spiritual weirdo fanatic. You have no clue of my level of commitment, dedication and sacrifice I have for this work. Base line most probably. Peak not even joking.

I love Adi Da, for me he's one of the greatest, I have two pictures of him and have part of his art as wallpaper in my phone. I've watched countless of videos of him, meditated with his darshans and I'm reading the Aletheon. It's just a matter of fact that none of the people who lived with him on the island have become incredibly Awake beings and teachers that have continued their tradition, the apparition of such beings is like a shooting star. I understand Adi Da and also see why it's so hard to make the bridge towards his state of realisation. Listen what Adi Da says: Let there be... Bliss Aware... Consciousness itself...

I've been contemplating and for me it's after a night's sleep, that is the full reset

I like this wording

I recommend you to search about Sri Anandamayi Ma, the only recorded case in history where a being was born egoless and remained this way till her death. There was no beggar or so called enligthened Guru that was not astonished by her simplicity and presence. If you pay real attention and read closely, undressing the words to what they point to, you will see that a very clear message of God-Realization is being transmited.

The fact that Brendan Lea is one of the top Peter Ralston student lowers the perception I have of Ralston. There are two main dimensions to understand a spiritual teachers. First is the degree of their own Awakenings and second is the quality of their best students. For example, you may have super high realisation like Adidam, but lack the methodologies/teaching skills to transmit that realisation to your students, something similar happens with Ralston. On the other hand, you may be a meditator teachers who is super good with transmitting a certain technique and you replicate your awakenings to a measurable degree in your students. The best spiritual teachers are the ones which are both insanely Awake and incredibly effective in making those levels of Awakening accesible to their students. For example: let's take the top 10 Peter Ralston students, top 10 Mooji Baba students, top 10 Shinzen Young students, top 10 Ken Wilber students, top 10 Sri Ramana Maharshi students, top 10 Leo Gura students, top 10 Lahiri Mahasaya students...

@Loveeee When your consciousness returns to baseline, usually this takes more time. Even if you plug 120min after, you'll probably be a bit more conscious than before and then it will grow from there, plus the fact that your brain has already walked the 5meo biochemical path, so it's less resistant to doing so again. It's an interesting question that I've never thought. Redosing with vaping is very convenient but when I did unplugged I just eye balled it, you need to develop this conscious skill, mastery and connection with the psychedelic and your consciousness.

Good Quote 377, I was having so many Awakenings into different facets, but it was Love which melted my heart and gave true satisfaction to my existence.

This year one of my objectives is to experiment heavily with Nootropics and see if they work and which ones work best. So final decisions will be made at the end of this year, now I'm just testing things out. I've always had lots of problems swallowing pills, but I just saw how that could be very problematic, negatively impacting my life and I'm so glad in the last month I've been able to swallow that pill! Okay so straight to the point, first I'll list the substances I've been taking for about 10 days. Basic ones: Complete multivitamin and mineral Omega-3 Creatine Turmeric+Probiotics Nootropics: NAC (800mg) Rhodiola Rosea Uridine NAD Phosphatidylserine Lion's Mane (+Reishi) (+Cordyceps) Brain Complex pill (Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, Coline, Ginseng, L-Tyrosine) Brain focus pill (Taurina, L-tirosina, L-theanine, 200 mg of caffeine) Huperzine A Pyrazolam Armodafinil To wine down: Magnesium Bisglycinate L-Tryptophan Valerian GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) Triphala Blueprint I'm following (although I always listen to my body and consciousness, adjusting it to every day): Initial conclusion: Absolutely amazing. I wanted to try substances that would give me a permanent/stable change in the way my mind works. This combo has proven to work very nicely. I work a lot during the week and need to stay at my best even when I can't get as much sleep as I'd like to. These substances allow me to do that and moreover raise to levels of intelligence and physical performance I would have never imagined possible. I'll explain in later posts on this thread more in detail how each one has worked for me or even not much. As well as dangerous interactions between these supplements to consider. Overall very happy, as I made such a strong investment but it's definitely paying off. My intuitions were right that to tap into higher cognitive developmental stages, nootropics would be instrumental, in the same way psychedelics are for higher Awakenings.

Importance of State of Mind at Time of Death: "Man's spiritual evolution is greatly affected by the thought he harbors at the time of death: Just as a leech does not leave its place without hooking on to something else, so the soul at the time of leaving the body hooks on to some kind of new existence according to the state of mind of the dying person." ~ Sri Sri Anandamayi Ma.

@Breakingthewall Yes, those are important processes in the path. I'm pointing out that they happen as a deeper connection with oneself.

That whole thing is a trap The distinction between ego and no ego is much more problematic than useful

That is an important insight but it's also very dangerous as you advance, because the I despite being a mere appearance is the gateway for both many Awakenings and a developed mature life

@joeyi99 Yes Love is the point of life and existence And you wouldn't love to get stepped right? There are two avenues for walking the Love: Taking Love to the end and dying on the cross, forgiving those who torture you and blessing them Or Intelligent Love, that calibrates the whole universe for the maximisation of Love The former is Feminine Love, the Latter is Masculine Love. You need a balance of both imo.

@Oppositionless Interesting, I'll check it I'm very happy with Brain.fm I have to say

It's a tricky question What do you refer by no-self? Yes

What you say makes sense but my experience and Awakenings prove me others I get to an Absolute Complete Consciousness, just to breakthrough into ever more completeness and totality Never I've found totality to be defined and 'closed' it's always open to more Infinity is truly Infinite Okay we're getting closer For me Reality is intrinsically truth, love, consciousness, existence, Infinity... It's not an aggregation, it's inseparable in my experience.

It's a matter of alignment and getting in tune, like two transatlantics coordinating . It's also where there's more potential for growth, new insights and Awakenings. It's important to talk with other advanced consciousness to not get isolated in your ways of doing spirituality, show blind spots and enrich each other. Btw, check your DM's.

And if it's limitless why it can't be more total? What is limiting it from being more open and total?

The grandfather of a friend of mine used to say: In life you have to be open to everything, but to get fucked in the ass, cause you may like it

@Oppositionless God is an Infinite Creative Orgasm The endlessness of Reality deepens its Oneness The One becomes Many without losing its Oneness

@PolyPeter Good, keep up the good work. Cheers

Then change is your unchanging reality

What is ego really? What is the I? Have you wondered Isn't total openness loving? Isn't total openness divine? Isn't the Absolute Aware and Alive? And how do you know you've reached the end of the path and? PD: ln any case, I appreciate you brother. Un abrazo. Take care
