This definitely has potential, that's for sure! Princess Arabia bambi I just discovered ❄ (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) ❄ another Infinity Infinite Schemas in cool formats, because why not, I want ego credit

@bambi It's fine now, after all this time, how could I still be angry? Been growing lots in the past few months and learning how to react and interact was part of it. It's really fun and "enlightening" being here. Treat it as a squabble among siblings

@Princess Arabia As they tend to say: Now was that filmmakers or non-dualists saying that I don't even know anymore Hey, look at the cool formatting I just discovered, ain't that cool? Only visible on desktop (mode) though

With Yimpa and Leo I was refering to yesterday's/today's thread, nuwu somewhere at some point, PA here And as for me, it's right here, I got way too heated, though you did ignore everything I would say

In essence, overlaying images and also this:

@bambi I used to get triggered, now I'm really enjoying this! Both for the genuine discussion and deep dive into biases as much as the comedy of interaction and internet history! I think doing an AI narrated and meme music infused comedy sketch on comment exchanges in a youtube video or bog style format would overdo it though, so I'll leave it at that for now! lol

@Princess Arabia Click on your profile picture, profile opens, click picture, drag to desktop, open photoshop (in my case krita), add text, choose color white, bold italic, write text, get a picture of a book on google images, drag to desktop, have all three open as layers, use transform tool to stretch your pic and the text over the book, use ward tool to select and delete the background, export as png, drag to reply, click, post, wait for your reaction

@Princess Arabia Are you kidding? Bambi is way too serious about this work! There's no way he's gonna stalk one person only, each of us is getting dozens of dedicated rants that holistically add up at least a book each, not accounting for sequels and crossovers! Chapter 2: The Downfall of Yimpa's cheekiness Chapter 3: Not even Leo is Safe from his Wrath Chapter 4: Keryo, the Nonsense Singularity Chapter 5: nuwu, the eccentric know-it-all

@Andrea Bianca As above, so below. Just like building habits, changing patterns and moving places, it takes awareness, will and dedication to transcend all that causes homeostatic push back. Imagine you have your favorite playlist and you browse the site for new songs, many you don't really like, you look for similar ones to your favorites, but changed up, remixed. Now imagine enjoying every random song to full intensity just as much as your favorites. On one hand, it's great, on the other, you feel a bit uneasy, since now you feel the next step is to delete your old playlist, because it keeps you from listening to new songs and doesn't matter anymore, yet you have so many meaningful memories synchronized with it. That's identity and meditation is raising awareness and finding contentment, unravelling the ego and being fine with whatever comes your way. In a way, meditation is a prerequisite, in another, you can choose any yogic practice or create your own sadhana because again: As Above, So Below. Lessons learned on one plane, will be shared on others to varying degrees and a lifelong dedicated master to one practice is as if not more far more formidable than a jack of all traits. And so finally, everything spiritual is meditation. Now, if refer to meditation as the calm sitting quiet activity only, then some will, others will find it difficult, depends on your temperament/style. Permanence though is very tricky, apparently nothing is permanent, but does that apply to God, I wouldn't even know.

I think lots of positions here are well encapsulated in this old post, including @Salvijus' intentional "start end repeat":

@stephenkettley and because you're everything and everyone and god can do whatever feels like, there is no problem with that!

@James123 I did actually notice that before, just fail to "embody" it. Had whole posts dedicated to that. *self-contradictory* lol

@OBEler Hmmm! I guess that puts some of my puzzle pieces together! So there are layers of reality, above us the NDE/spirit/soul realm that transcends out 3d-space-time universe and then there is the "somewhat" locked in and homeostatic experience that we are currently living that has certain boundaries that are hard to breath and that we form our lives in. And lucid dreaming would not be "real" infinity, but more so an expanded ego experience based on our current karma, desires and imagination that we collected over our lives, connected creatively in imagination. But the difference would be that imagination would be limited to this "manas as sadhguru would call it" and there are "hyperreal" dimensions of actuality beyond this one that aren't just imaginary self-created dream scenarios. Even if all is made from the same substrate...

But isn't zero also a portal to infinity? You know, inflection points and all... also, I thought non-existence doesn't exist to even be included, yet what is 0? Nothingness, but a substrate nothingness instead of a non-existence nothingness? Is there nothing behind 0 that makes it so? Trippy!

I've heard much and am experientially (though placebo self-bias might limit me here) inclined to think that LSD has the longest tolerance, with 2 weeks+, while 4-HO tryptamines seem to be closer to 5-10 days of tolerance, relatively speaking, sometimes less, not sure about 5-mipt. DMT and 5-Meo/Malt are reported to have really short tolerance, likely due to their [short duration]? Though I wonder if that's also the case with Ayahuasca and how its tolerance compares. @Asia P Anyway, if it's non-lsd psychedelics and you have a window open, a week is enough and 10+ is plenty to recover, unless you need to psychologically integrate the experience, but you'd know if that was the case

@Breakingthewall @James123 I did notice a while ago that it's easier to understand without thinking: like it's literally more taxing to be confused than to get it, humorously enough, though it is anti-climactic to the *non-existent (apparently anyway)* ego.

It's not a competition, it's a mystery novel where the author forgot the plot. Now we're a reality TV show with zero prize money and we're all juggling egos. Tomorrow, it'll be a scavenger hunt for common sense and every day a quiz show where the answers keep changing. Sorry, I'm turning into Yimpa, I'll stop, I promise

@OBEler What about lucid dreaming?

@Breakingthewall I experienced this on my last trip. I went from mesocosm to microcosm to macrocosm, it's like I saw the same world of details in a particle of sand, as my room, as the picture of a galaxy, and they all interact and reflect each other on all levels infinitely, looking at any one thing, you can see the reflection of any other thing, no matter how far, complex, or simple, it's all entangled, and you can encode details with soundwaves and read it off water if your mind/third eye is sharp enough and the associatory network we are and the houses and all the stuff they include are so insanely complex, it's really amazing.

@Camerong Only question being, how fast shall we do it? If we had a big red button that would instantly fulfill all desires, should we press it or continue at our pace? If we pressed that button, would we become nothingness/infinity/God without anything to do, since technically curiosity is also a desire, albeit a higher one to explore, and so would we not just start over from a lower level? Or do the levels continue up for infinity? Or is it infinitely down and up and sideways and there's not even a preference of direction, but merely of where we feel like going and evolving and navigating towards, granted our specific path and feelings that guide us?

The immediate spiritual answer to would be that we have a certain amount of time on this earth and bodily karma to put into motion like making families and cooperating, but then that is phased out as we slowly prepare to die and transition into the next reincarnation or plane of reality in "cosmic evolution" essentially. Are lives do imply endings (give our body back to the earth and reset all injuries, leave stuff for the next generation) and that's part of collective evolution. Now you say that personal evolution ends and if this life is all there is, then that appears correct, though with the right practices, health can be maintained for a long time even in old age and even as interests shift. Still I do agree with you, but then only if this life was our only existence, which I have much reasons to believe is not the case, and also believing it is, is equally biased, so I go for the most expansive and vitalizing interpretation.

@Applegarden8 I shortened your post to respond to it, blocks are shortened paraphrasing, bold titles are my summery. I don't know what advice to give you, you kind of answered all your questions. There are great resources online and you already seem adept at finding and navigating them. If you need encouragement, this is not a bad place, from what it sounds like to me, you have a great plan and are just checking whether others can find holes in it or whether it's reasonable, but there's nothing wrong with it, just go for it and make a start! I wish you luck, 5 years are an investment and you'll see improvements each day, as you introduce new practices and insights, that will continually recontextualize and add to your experience!

You did go pretty practical, it's just that there are layers of practicality and spirituality and in-between and this post is even further to the practical side, maybe unintegrated, maybe a different paradigm, maybe different needs or perspectives. But I know how you usually go , your actual spiritual discussions in a nutshell go more like this :

@Schizophonia Was made to eat my words, had a nightmare yesterday. Now I wanna repeat it and show it who's boss!
