QandC

@Gesundheit Hmm almost. Mine was more like a meta-perspective on everything. Kind of like I stepped out of my own identity, perceiving myself "above" myself. Not fully, but a sort of separation

@Gesundheit I feel like my non-dual experiences are more about the visual/physical rather than the mental. When I experience the non dual things, the separation between my body and everything else kinda disappears. Today it was more the mental separation.. difficult to explain. I guess combining the two and I'm on to something

This was actually a great explanation about dreams

I experience lucid dreaming almost every week. It's come to the point where basically when I dream I can create any dream character I want, I can imagine anything and receive it, I basically become God and physical laws cease to exist. I know that when I am not in this "dream-world" (asleep) that I am limited physically. But an interesting thought I had was that lucid dreaming is basically like awakening. I know that I am dreaming and I am not connected to the body in my dream, instead I become the dream itself and I can manifest anything I want and do whatever I want. Since I know I am just dreaming, there is no fear or anything. Only problem is I get a little bit too excited and become close to waking up, therefore have to use the "spinning around"-technique to keep myself inside the dream. I was wondering, have anyone else reached this level of lucid dreaming? I don't know why it's so easy for me to experience lucid dreaming, I know some people who have never experienced it. I have also experienced astral projection several times, but that can be quite scary at times since it's basically like having an intense psychedelic trip and you can face a lot of your inner demons. I once left my body and started walking around my room like a child having trouble with my balance, and I saw that there was an army of people outside of my house waiting for me, screaming my name. Freaky stuff. Anyways, there is a lot to explore in these dream-states. I guess now it's time for me to wake up and realise this is also a dream

@Artsu I can't decide if that's heaven or pure hell

Let me burst your bubble: There was probably just water underneath the cup that made it move. Happens to me all the time.

Psychedelics all the way, but not something to do too often though Alcohol has the same effect on me, I become extremely self-pityful and self-loathing and sad. I like the rush but never the full effect. Also if I start drinking one drink, I cannot stop, I just keep drinking until the entire bottle is empty, so I stay the fuck away from alcohol. Psychedelics makes me extremely extremely outgoing, no fear at all, everything becomes golden.

Watched Russell Brand's podcast with Eckhart Tolle as his guest and Eckhart described something called "space consciousness", and I wondered what he really means by this, is he basically explaining non-duality? Becoming aware of the space as "something" (i.e not causing separation) is what makes you everything? If someone could elaborate that would be nice

This guy: Although he has some pretty good things to say, it's pretty obvious he's a libertarian

@Ananta Thanks!

I've been doing chakra yoga /kundalini yoga for a while now and some heavy meditation sittings lately. So during the night, I was on my balcony and I saw this man delivering newspapers/commercial stuff to different houses. I live on the top floor so I can see a lot from my balcony. Anyways, I can kinda see the car roads meeting, the ocean, the factories, houses, people, cars, just a lot from my pov. And when I took a look at the guy delivering the newspapers I got a thought like "This man is doing his job at this time without anyone knowing, and in the morning everyone will have newspapers". It just kinda dumbstruck me how there is something that we usually do not notice but contributes to the function of society. And then I kinda "zoomed out" and got broader and started to think of everyone working night time. What do they do now that helps society moving? And it just got broader, and bigger to the point where everything I perceived was involved with making life as a whole. Everything was connected. I kind of realized how massive and detailed a society actually is and how it works, and stopped seeing from only my POV in life. Instead, I was a part of everything, and everything worked in perfect harmony to make everything move. Suddenly there was not even a separation between what is human behavior, animal, organisms, plants etc, because everything worked in harmony. Even all the material that was existing, all the atoms and cells and molecules etc were contributing. From all the newspapers that man delivered, to the entire clockwork of the universe itself. So what do you think, was it a sort of awakening?

@WelcometoReality aaAAH I Got a few enlightenment points yaay

but FREDDIEE.....?!

@Red-White-Light So you're quite new then Kehehehe

@Red-White-Light How do you know? Have you even followed his channel?

Interesting... born enlightened or something

Haha good

Doesn't matter what it's portrayed as. What matters is what it has become and we all know it has become a "we vs. them" mob-mentality

...or just stick to psychedelics

How do you know? For who?

Imagine Leo and him having a conversation: "ENLIGHTENMENT FIGHT! ENLIGHTENMENT FIGHT!" lol jk but still, I also sometimes just wanna get away from it all and become a monk, but I bet that I'd regret it after a couple of days, maybe even hours

siigh...

@bazera It is. Some people react differently to it. I have had insane experiences with weed. Samadhi, non-dual states, all of that. Even crazier than I have had with mushrooms. I don't know why I react in that way, it must be part of my brain chemistry or something. Last time I did it I looked outside of my window and I literally knew that I was connected to everything. The bus stop I was staring at was a part of me just as much as my hand.

Ever wondered why babies can go from neutral to extremely happy in a second when playing peek-a-boo? Because every moment is fresh for them and there is no memory of the previous one. Reminds me of this documentary btw:
