I don't think so, it all takes place within consciousness. I don't belief the ego is born there either, I belief and identity is born into pure spirit, as a thought, in a thought realm (spirit realm, heaven etc.). It can project itself into a physical incarnations, until it's agenda has been served, and it may take breaks in between, all for various different reasons (you need contrast to experience the perfect freedom, love and oneness (limitation, fear, separation). So it focuses itself into a body, DMT projects you into the spirit world and sometimes into ego death, 5MEO into ego death, how and why this happens I don't know. And no, life does demonstrably not get worse after DMT necessarily, often the opposite occurs, yet it's always up to you still.

I meditate for hours a day and it's the most pleasant thing I do, it's great, and the fruits it bears, mmm.

Enlightenment is fun, it's the process of life itself, some may also call this process awakening (indeed, you have been at it your whole life, albeit mostly at a snail's pace and very unconsciously, but that's part of the process too, and not by mistake in design). The monks would realize on their journey that life is not meant to be lived as a means to an end, but to be enjoyed as a process right here right now. But what makes you think it's all chemistry, that refers to materialism, which is false (www.evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com). Can chemicals work on the vehicle, and thus on the spirit, yet it can. Can it be helpful, yet it can. But as Leo said and I think too, you will need to integrate it into your life, or you would be missing out it's biggest potential and fruits.

I really like the Conversations with God books and therein it was said, about the suffering of the world, that it could all be seen as perfect (though I must say, I cry about the littlest things still sometimes), the reason that was given in short was: 'All of life arises out of choice and there is perfection in the process.' And I think that is believable, as I know God is good and nothing happens by accident, sometimes people also experience this, people that have had the worst life's and they experience God and they say their life still was perfect in the grand scheme of things. Whether an enlightened person would cry, I doubt it, only out of beauty I think, but I do belief they would live for love and be of service to beings, I mean, what else is there to do after true enlightenment. - As for the question as to what it is, I don't know. I belief awakening goes on for infinity and enlightenment a big step, a big shift, from the ego to God and I think to see it in a person, they would be completely in the flow of their being, no holding back ever, because that always comes from fear and fear is the illusion that was let go off.

It's part of the game. It's a unique thrilling and often fun experience for one. Second, physicality needs to exist in contrast to non-physical: Can't know unconditional love, freedom, abundance, peace, bliss etc. without: judgment, limitation, lack, unrest, pain etc. But you can grow out of it here and now because in trust, you already exist as non-physical consciousness and physical reality appears within you, and you give it all the meaning.

Meds as a immediate way to calm somedown, possibly, aside from that the meds all stink as a solution because they don't resolve trauma. In fact, a study from WHO showed that schizo's in 3rd world countries did twice as better than the patients here lol http://www.independent.co.uk/news/mentally-ill-do-better-in-third-world-than-in-west-1320282.html

Mental stress is real, delusions are real, hallucinations are real (often just a projection, sometimes not in which case there is no problem, often a combination of both), most people suffer from this to some degree except for hallucinating. But it's not real in the sense that developed mental illness it's some kind of flue that hits you, or is caused by genetics, or just 'because of chemical imbalance'. It's simply caused by trauma and false beliefs, which the mind doesn't know how to deal with or heal it. Of course big pharma loves it's patients to belief their brain just crashed, that it's nothing they can do about and that they need toxic pills with 250 side effects... for life.. while they are not getting better (pills barely more effective than placebo, Big Pharma until recently was allowed not to publish negative results). It's actually the biggest scam ever, aside from creating a debt based system, in our society. - OP, heal your trauma, go within, talk with other (spiritually aware) people, meditate. Look up Charles Whitfield, the best psychiatrist on mental illness and trauma.

I don't think just realizing that solves all of it, maybe it does, but I've been aware that it all stems out of love for quite some time yet I still work on my fears, joyfully, everyday and will probably continue at it for at least a number of years. Even though it's indeed not really evil, it still is there to grow over it so that we may know real expanding peace and joy only, which indeed couldn't have existed without having gone through fear.

It's one of the most powerful and transformative psychedelics. But not only that, it can stop the physical withdrawal symptoms from opiate addiction (which are hellish and the reason it's extra hard for many to quit) and it also tackles the trauma which creates the anxiousness and empty-ness of the natural real self which causes the craving for fulfillment through drugs. 'Resolution of the signs of opioid withdrawal without further drug seeking behavior was observed within 24 hours in 25 patients and was sustained throughout the 72-hour period of posttreatment observation. ' https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10506904 Of course it's suppressed by a culture filled with fear of their own fear, speaking out would do a lot of good.

The true 'evil' of it is I belief fear. If we wouldn't be afraid we wouldn't care about the suppressive rules and we would just be ourselves regardless.

Trust the process/God, don't think any negative thought about it and just continue to meditate, practice mindfulness and love as much as you can.

I would like to say, to all of you, thank you for being so interesting openminded honest and lovely. Never forget you all belong to this WONDER, mysterious wonder called life, that YOU are a part of. So special, so magnificent, so grand. So bizarre, so real. For ever and ever. With Love. Peace!

Who doesn't suffer from psychosis? Just kidding, but really, if you admit you are not totally well you are already beyond it to some degree. What are your symptoms?

I LOVE this guided meditation for it, so powerful

You spike their food with psychede- just kidding. The 'problem' ultimately is you still desire fulfillment from the outside world, which also makes you a 'bad conversationalist' because that's just fear holding you back as well, fear to mess up, fear to lose respect etc, which just comes from trying to make it work 'out there'. Yeah, enlightenment is always the answer.

It's a ridiculously special, bizarre PROFOUND existence we've created right here, pff. But aside from the ultimate nature of reality, you also have soul: www.evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com

Try to ramp up the meditations, but not for the force of it, but for the love of it. Maybe that has to come naturally though but going within is the way.

Dumpster dive, food bank, couchsurf. And just put yourself out there and see what God/Synchronicity will provide. Maybe even beg, and meditate during. Maybe have an inspirational/spiritual sign. Cheers

I disagree, we are all blessed to remember God if we just learn to let ourselves go, which just takes (a lot of) joyful practice, perhaps some psychedelics/weed in the proper setting.

If you need to prove the paranormal shared trips reports are the way. Though a dmt/meo breakthrough might also cut away all doubt. Aside from that, the evidence is indeed overwhelming (www.evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com). It's just cultural bias belief that keep people from realizing this simple truth, it's really hiding in plain sight and shows how strong bias can act. Want another crazy one? The same goes for UFOs + aliens (www.bestufoevidence.weebly.com).

Being in the flow of the moment of creating is fulfilling, but that's because you are in a state of being that is free in and of itself in a sense, not really because of the actions and not really because of the results.

Had a direct experience which proved the channelings of Bashar/Darryl Anka for me, fun to listen to the conversations and information/humor/charisma of the entity but I find it quite inferior to the books that he himself strongly recommended, namely Conversations with God by Neale Walsch, free to read online and utterly amazing, it was also on the NYT best seller list for 137 weeks. Aside from that, psychedelic teachers.

Great, thanks for sharing. Do you feel like you have been able to carry a lasting part into your daily life and meditations already?

Indeed, never deny how you are feeling. The good news is however, your father won't die, he will merely pass into spirit. You will dream with him and if you become open enough, you will feel him and perhaps even communicate with him (perhaps in deep meditation and through the imagination), or during psychedelic ventures. By all means, be skeptical about my claims, yet I would suggest you to research (www.evidenceforthesoul.weebly.com) and of course have your own experiences and see.

Ramana Maharshi lived a pretty spectacular life. Had an awakening at 16. Walked away from home/school. Just sat in still for decades, bugs eating from his legs, other people fed him as he supposedly was immersed in God. He slowly attracted a lot of people and an Ashram was build around him. He did not held any possessions, any gifts he received he wanted shared with everyone, he discarded any privacy and slept in the hall so people could be near him as they traveled all the way for him. There is a whole book written with a lot of (prominent) people in it experiencing mystical experiences when just coming near him http://www.sriramanamaharshi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Face_to_Face_with_Sri_Ramana_Maharshi.pdf He's the inspiration of Papaji (also quite enlightened by the looks of it), who has been the inspiration for Mooji etc.
