It might not be so helpful to think of enlightenment as what it is, because you can't grasp it anyways, though it's always called freedom or liberation. And you can see that enlightened people are always happy, and you can see that young children are generally happier than adults, closer to the natural state, same for animals I think. But perhaps it might be more helpful to see what it means to not be enlightened: fear of other people, fear of death, fear of live, fear of pain, fear of loss. In other words, not free, but in your mind.

Ofcourse it's safe, just expect it to make you aware of your fear/emotional suppresion/arrogance and don't expect to be done after a deep trip, it's generally a long but beautiful journey. But it's safe and sweet, it's a very pure and completely benevolant tool, no fuss to distract your mind with, a clean nitro boost on the road towards freedom, peace, reality.

You can trust your rationality and planning skills as well, that has nothing to do with letting go per se. It's about doing what's true for you, surfing on magical synchronicity is not better nor actually different than surfing on a pre-planned plan. And better safe than sorry, unless you're fully enlightened, then you're never sorry for what happens, but is everyone there yet?

Ibogaine is safe in the right setting. I don't see why not OP, but you cannot escape 'the job', though it can be experienced totally as a joyful ride, depending on how little you get in your own way and on how open, honest and positive you manage to be. What is more like a job, and a terrible job, is not being yourself, but because we are so used to it, the path of the real might feel like a job for a while, but what other option have you? It will be very worth it, just take some steps everyday and hang in there. But yeah, ibogaine could help as well.

Different areas of the body correlate with different emotions, that's what you can observe yourself easily, and in my experience the chakra's are accurate

Quantum mechanics has solved this one with proof, and there's a whole host of other evidence that indicates the same https://evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com/quantum-mechanics.html And contrary to popular belief, it is not so difficult to understand imo, the second video might be a bit harder to understand but I found that if you take the time to study it, without letting yourself being sabotaged by the superstition and thought that you can't get it, you can understand that one as well.

What the experiments show is that the possibility of a 'knowing of the which path information' collapses the matter, so the matter it self is part of intelligence.

All the matter still exists as an electromagnetic field of feeling, everything is experienced on some level.

It might give motivation and trust to this process which will bring peace. It shows that matter and observation are intimately tied together, that a collapse of wave function (the creation of matter) can't happen on it's own, by it self. If you get the experiments, you'll just know it because you see it. But yeah, this understanding is totally not the same as enlightenment.

Yes, here's another video on the double slit at The Royal Institution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9tKncAdlHQ And here's another video of a prof. as well on the delayed choice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9bXolOFAB8 This video in general is also pretty good

From my experience (which is not awakening/enlightened but I am sensing on a bit of a deeper layer), that does not seem possible, the sense of being seems to really be beyond any fluctuations happening in the body mind, like as in deep sleep, but no one will convince you of any of this except for direct experience, I had one glimpse on mushrooms and it will be beyond clear, absolute knowing. Because it's about going deeper/becoming less into the source, not gaining anything, realizing what already was true despite anything, I would say a mentally retarded person or a bird could become enlightened (and they already are as well).

Bashar mentioned vitamin C + msm or Dr. Schulze's stuff

I have not seen free will either but I feel pretty sure I am experiencing it in some form ^^

They just do, once he said: 'Did someone make you ask that question?' The advaita claim of 'no free will' often is contextual more to implication there is no 'you' to 'have' free will, and that the thoughts of '[I am a separate] doer of action and thought' are false, but beingness is full of intelligence and freedom.

Go follow this path and let God take care of you, it just takes commitment to go within, again and again and again, just keep taking the little steps to do that and let the results motivate you further and create a positive feedback loop, use prayer and the guidance in dreams/synchronicity and having a truly experienced teacher(/friend) can be very helpful too, but the real guru is always within your heart. You can be a beggar and be truly happy or have everything you've been told you should have and be miserable, having a stable life can be good and nice but don't mistake it for a necessity. And you will help others the most if you can be happy, instead of being not as happy but successful, but success and happiness are not mutually exclusive either.

This sounds like that anti-relativity talk. Ego self story is not real in the sense it exists as words, but body-minds are real in their own right, and not faulty. Whereas insecurity/paranoia just stem from unresolved negative thought imprints, held onto through (collective) habit, and that is often referred to as ego, but not the best definition. An unhurt ego, like a child, and thecommon adult experience on earth are 2 very different forms of 'ego', but both healthy egos and unhealthy egos have a sense of Self, as do enlightened masters.

Of course, thinking is the number 1 crutch and it often plays in on that. From a young age most people were often mistreated, so therein often still lies unhealed pain/insecurity, and from a young age you were constantly given the impression that the most important thing was to know stuff and be smart, and that habit was enforced constantly first by school then by culture/friends. Enlightenment can thus often be unconsciously wanted to be 'the ultimate getting it/source of knowledge' that will make you be special

It's always just as real as this reality if it's truly spontaneous, it's a projection when it's coming from fearful expectations (which may go deeper than you think), it requires being sensitive to our own being to discern the difference, it can also be a combination of both (altering something you initially perceived clearly). But yeah, perceptions are in the realm of the changing, so as you probably it's unimportant for your happiness, a hindrance perhaps for some, though knowing you are being seen and loving what you see can help open the heart.

D.: Thoughts suddenly cease and ‘I-I’ rises up equally suddenly and continues. It is only a feeling, not a thought. Can it be right? Ramana: Yes, it is quite right. Thoughts have to cease and reason to disappear for the ‘I-I’ to rise up and be felt. Feeling is the main thing, not reason.

Psychosis is not just believing in normal thoughts, but in extreme thoughts, but it's both just believing in thoughts. Caused by a sense of fear through negative indoctrination/trauma (often related to the mystical/God), or because one wants to belief more special thoughts about him because he or she feels also scared and inferior. So it's not such a big deal if you understand to not belief in your thoughts, it should end it all very quickly actually.

Not identifying with ego doesn't mean there's no more negative ego But yes, it's possible, it may be a good idea to see some of these people in real life and get to know them Or David Spero is a good example in my opinion that demonstrates this well on video

And feed yourself with the inner light But multi vitamins are not a good replacement for eating healthy

In many cases without having raised it for meat it couldn't live a physical life here though, but it's not really a minimalist/sustainable thing. Animal abuse is a whole different matter of course which is where most meat comes from.

From what I've seen all masters got where they are because they admitted all their suffering and they worked to end it, and they are the happiest people alive. In my view, you are not done, and hiding behind intellectual ego ideas and projecting on people who disagree with you.
