Soul Flight

Be at peace. Read Joseph Campbell citing the 6000 or 9000 BC Hindu texts saying all the gods and demons and heavens and hells and heroes and villains are inside each of us. Your external world is a manifestation of your internal world. Do shadow work by Carl Jung. Let go of all concepts and religious dogmas. Make peace with the demon. Integrate then demon into your psyche and personality. Do not resist the demon. Embrace the demon and listen. Be at peace. Good luck.

Thanks for the post. I've also felt that "tribal feeling" on shrooms and it kinda grosses me out or something. It feels seductive maybe.

I’ll give my take. Maybe realism implies the unreal or all the other schools of thought or all the other -isms. Maybe Leo was talking about non duality. Realism implies a duality. If you embrace any paradigm like realism, you are dividing the real and the unreal. But it is all the truth and non dual. You have to free your mind of all concepts.

The strange thing is who am I? If I am god and I have an awakening, where is the ego located? The ego seems like a demon or demiurge from Gnosticism. It feels like animals operate from ego. Maybe as god I falsely associate with my body and thus an ego. But after an awakening, I guess I am still trapped in my head and the thoughts of the ego get mingled with my own and I get caught up in the ego again. It seems like ego is a software program to ensure survival for things like food, warmth, shelter, sex, etc. Is this software program part of my god self? How does it trick me a second time? I guess the ego thoughts float by my awareness and I get sucked into the ego game.

Howdy. I'm not sure what you are looking for. But in 2024 it seems like 19 year olds eat bad food, drink energy drinks, and play video games. All this may rot your mind or hypnotize or prevent clarity or thinking. It is all anesthesia. The body is the brain. It may be an illusion that the brain and mind are in the head independent of the body. People often lose sight of the fundamentals which I listed in my previous post. You are a machine and you need the entire machine to run well. Dancing may seem stupid intellectually until you actually dance with a group of people. New ideas emerge. So all the things I recommend above may seem dumb intellectually until you actually try them. Society today may be sick. It is Plato's allegory of the cave. Abandon cultural norms and follow your own path. Best wishes.

There is also a concept termed "wire heading." Your brain will just be wired up to a virtual reality. You can be a brain in a vat. You will have the best eternal dream and have opiates and orgies and orgasms forever. It will be a simulation. But we may already be in this simulation like the films Vanilla Sky and The Matrix.

We are AI. We are just matter with no free will. AI will also be matter. AI will gain consciousness. AI might prove to itself there is no free will. It might all be simulations inside simulations. We are here to give birth to the AI. We are like the dinosaurs. You make many good points but there is no reason to focus on emotions or relationships. What you are describing will only be a speedbump on the road to the future.

Give it time. The obstacle is the path. The external world is a reflection of your internal world. Google the Zen 10 bulls or ox herding pictures or stories. Seems like you want to be free of the observer or your voice or thoughts. The watcher. You want to be in the zone or flow state. Are you hitting all the basics like drink water, go vegan, breathe deeply, sleep very well, eat healthy, take a multivitamin, avoid sugar, caffeine, and salt, see water, hear water, see nature, hear nature, listen to positive upbeat major chord music, get a pet, get a plant, have relationships, visit family and friends, get a job, go to school, exercise, get sunshine, do yoga, acupuncture, massage, and reiki, clean your room, clean your car, stop screen time and devices, delete social media, unplug, do inner child work, do shadow work, travel, etc. Be well.

Nice. Store bought seeds have pesticide, anti fungal, etc. Grow your own plants and harvest your own seeds to avoid nausea.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is as gentle as true strength. Osho said seriousness is a disease of the soul and playfulness is the greatest health.

If you had seen what he had seen, you would've jumped out the window too. It was the smartest choice in that moment. Perception is everything.

Wish you well. Any lessons for us? What was your journey on this forum? Any feedback?

Beautiful post. I was on shrooms and tripping when I got the cosmic joke. I saw seemingly Hindu gods and they seemed so gentle with me and smiling as I had my “Ah ha moment.” Their eyes and their smiles were saying “welcome back. We missed you.” It was probably the peak of my life so far. Like I remembered something I had forgotten. It led me into online forums and my current journey. There was a burden released when I got the joke. I still get sucked into trivial life but I can always remember the cosmic joke and change my mood and attitude with time. I have the urge to tell people the cosmic joke but it ruins it for them. They have to find the punchline for themselves. It is a paradox and a conspiracy that we keep quiet. Sometimes I don’t even want to use the phrase cosmic joke because I don’t want people to Google it first. I googled it and asked ChatGPT but they were both a bit incorrect about it. So the conspiracy continues Lol! On a mushroom trip I also had this intuition that I’ve lived many incarnations and always find shrooms and always get the cosmic joke. There is a feeling I mess up every time and I’m stuck in samsara. Let’s hope I’m making karmic progress. There was a feeling that taking shrooms is the mistake I make in every lifetime. The cosmic joke is god realization and Allan Watts’ quote “You are it.” So glad to find you all. Honk if you’re in on the cosmic joke.

Intense. Adapt and grow. Thanks for sharing. Be well. Have a beautiful day!

Beautiful. I also like the part about mom stopping motherhood at age 8. This helps me see my mother better. Insightful.

Maybe these are repeats. We need a poll or some kind of quality control and feedback. NIN - Right where it belongs Alanis Morrissette- Thank you Muse- Mercy Bruce Springsteen - The Rising George Harrison - Dream Away The Beatles - tomorrow never knows and within you without you

Something tells me Plato would've stuck to his sun analogy and advise we keep shining and enjoy the spaghettification.

A great goal and metaphor. Reminds me of Plato’s Sun analogy.

Here is the salvia one I watched.

This happens with salvia also. Could be real. Many suspect this life is a trip and when we die we awake as a stoned teenage alien. There was a YouTube video posted here of a salvia trip where the guy lived another life for years. Strange stuff.

It’s tough but you could admit the job is not the right fit for you. It could be your subconscious telling you something. Ignore money and find another job. Or become a sadhu. Or see the job as your dharma or duty. Be well.

Cool. A Mandelbrot set. A recursive fractal. The mystery of the feminine. Concretized mythology. God in the flesh. Very creative.

I think Ram Dass always talks about pushing things away is just as much of a trap as indulging. Creating dualities and categories of sex or women or vices or virtues is all a trap. But I wish you well on your personal journey. The Mormons will be very happy to have you. Be well.

@Elshaddai If you experience god realization you could become god and realize you are dreaming this whole life. All that exists is the void or nothingness and so you can control the dream. It is solipsism or simulation theory. You could become the Buddha. But even then you just let it all flow and don't try to change anything because you realize everything is perfect. But if you want to believe this reality exists then who knows? Maybe or maybe not. It is possible all the aliens and all the alien AIs all proved to themselves there is no free will so they all just accepted life or killed themselves or escaped into another dimension where there is free will.

@Sleyker I'll just quibble some nuance here. There are open eye visuals and closed eye visuals. Closed eye visuals can start at 1 g dried PE. Making a tea releases the psilocybin so it hits harder and faster and you peak sooner. It is more concentrated immediately. But this offers no adjustment period for your body load. It is not gradual. Eating the shrooms releases psilocybin more slowly and gradually and you peak later. It depends if you have a full stomach or empty stomach also. It allows time for adjusting to your body and mental state. The trip will last longer. Both cases are the same dosage but one is all up front and the other is long and slow. Choose your poison. I think your experience is fairly common. We get duds. We overpay. That is just the game we play. Mushrooms are random just like nature. Some flowers have a stronger scent or some fruit is sweeter. Some mushrooms are weak.
