What if Self is a state onto Itself?

Well, I’ve had a lucid dream once of walking around my old house from years ago. I don’t think Reality is stupid unless you think it is. What’s the difference between humans killing chickens and chickens killing worms?

Truth is all that exists. That’s precisely why all states are Truth.

Are computers natural and part of our evolution?

Don’t forget that the darkness isn’t just coming from your own individual life, it’s also about those close to you. That’s why healthy boundaries are important. For example, the girl I’m talking to has some pretty dark shit that she’s going through. I still love her, but I realize that I need to take care of myself first and foremost and not make her the main source of happiness in my life.

@RickyFitts I like that advice, very similar to what my therapist helps guide me with. Also, death metal is awesome. There’s a musician on Twitch named Grym who plays death metal.. highly recommend checking him out.

@OBEler Do you have any specific practices you do to experience that? Lucid dreaming?

Infinite Reality relatively imagining physically fucking Itself

I think I’ve experienced this before. Can you elaborate? Have you experienced this?

Imaginary fucking.

Whenever you are not still, does everything happen?

Yup, the mind plays a lot of tricks like that. You just get better at not taking it so seriously.

Nope, not true. It’s a paradox. From such a high state of consciousness you can directly realize that what you used to believe were other POVs are actually YOU.

I’ve had phone sex with someone I love before. It’s a whole spiritual experience.

Jesus, a 21 minute song? Non-sense… that’s as long as an EP!

This seems about right https://www.womenshealthmatters.org.au/womens-health-wellbeing/sexual-and-reproductive-health/all-about-sex/what-is-sex/

You are a computer screen experiencing a human being looking at yourself

Me too, haha. That’s a fear I want to work on. What are some good examples of Meshuggah songs that are like that?

What he fails to point out or see is that there’s actually no “you” nor an “object”. As it happens, Reality isn’t “happening”. Reality IS. Everyone is going to have their own idea of what “awareness” means. Don’t get too hung up on that.

@SOUL A better way to frame it is not to say that everything that’s being experienced is imaginary. Rather, it’s that Reality imagines all experiences into Being.

@Carl-Richard Nice share! I love music and can play the piano (intermediate level). I definitely relate to that “connecting” state Steve Vai mentions. The best music ideas come seemingly out of nowhere. All the theory drops and all that’s left are chords, melody, lyrics, etc being created from a superhuman realm. Even Paul McCartney came up with a song in his dreams: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/paul-mccartney-beatles-song-in-a-dream-let-it-be/

Of course… you can have mystical experiences that Leo hasn’t had and vice versa. You are fooling yourself if you believe that spirituality is like science or academia; that there’s some strict linear path you have to follow to Awaken properly. I started using cannabis for spiritual work at 21 with severe mental disorders, no job, no money. The first time I took cannabis I had the most shocking mystical experience and realized that all that there is is Infinity. Yet, my life has become better because of it. After that profound insight, I slowly but surely started to actually face my fears and mental health disorders seriously; take back my life instead of being completely helpless. With that said, I have no regrets and no time was wasted. That’s your choice of course. However, you claim that psychedelics are too risky for you despite never trying them once. That’s like believing you can never have a girlfriend without ever having spoken to a single girl in your life.

You can use meditation and other things to understand God on deeper levels. Of course, how effective those methods will be depend on your understanding of Reality to begin with. Good, stick with this mindset. Or you can realize that there’s no such thing as “awakening completely”; that such efforts can only lead to more suffering. I’m not saying you should stop exploring Reality. But do you realize that any insights or answers you obtain (radical or not) are always imagined by REALITY?
