Dawww, if someone has an opening I usually direct them here.

You can assess to a degree. It's about deconstructing all of your beliefs, concepts, conditioning, self-biases, fears, etc. That's actually potentially a lot to "clean up" which is why I used that analogy. Then when you truly feel "empty" of those, your true nature will start to penetrate your awareness more and more, to the degree you can let go of the above. This was the point I took a psychedelic to go deeper into being and "what I am". What you are is actually simple. But if one hasn't deconstructed enough, the ego likes to make it more complex or something that suits its agenda, and hijacks the process of awakening or make something up to fill a blank. So it's important to let go of fears and biases so they don't get in the way.

Similar to emptying your cup yes. Wasn't thinking of Peterson lmao.

I mean at the Godhead and the one and only Self there is, the I AM.

@Razard86 You forgot what we just talked about!!

@Godishere In the singularity God can create/imagine "seperation", but one is "contained" in another. So I accept both as true. Truth can be paradoxical.

Yes that's true. I think it can be hard for the ego to accept this total aloneness.

That's coz you're taking it too serious I kinda like that one it kinda works like that when you're doing it a bit unconsciously yeah..

Haha on one of my initial self-realization trips, I was "told" that God didn't want to feel alone anymore and wanted to experience "the other", ultimately to express love through the creation of "the other". On a later trip I (as the singularity) experienced total satisfaction for having experienced and expressed myself through all creation. I guess God can't make up its mind just like how some of us are .

LOL don't need to take it so literal. But it shouldn't be a surprise that when you reach where your "teacher" has gone, you will literally merge on that level of consciousness.

Dude I just had a similar insight a couple of days ago. I was pondering how similar the urge to "teach" is to "giving birth" lawl. It's mind blowing almost everytime I have an insight you write it out here and I find it. Wtfux?! (well not just you and not everything, but it's still freaky enough).

@Godishere Well I've experienced both so maybe it's both - the feeling of loneliness AND the feeling of whole and completeness .

My answer would be you gotta clean out the room first ... the "unknowing" before "knowing" if that makes sense.

LOL you guys are funny. I've not yet become floors yet, but have entered "other" people's consciousness. Maybe I'm not as curious about floors

Hopefully the doorway to something more worthwhile for him with the remainder of his life.

Maybe loneliness? (aka the desire to be close to someone)

Thanks for the share.! And lol funny you mention that the other day on a trip I realized that a shaman and what appears to be a "lunatic" are one and the same . And then I wondered how many gifted people are locked up in mental institutions..

Ego death definitely not limited to 5-meo. 3.5g of mushroom (GT) was enough for a very strong ego death and God realization, and more.. but I've also heard of some say mushrooms do almost nothing to them, everyone has their unique sensitivity and other factors. Guess I have heard from some say 5-meo might be gentler especially malt, not sure. (Just got my first 5-meo shipment in the mail I'll have to try that and compare..)

Yeah I hear ya... I can relate a lot to what you say. I love both connecting with the singularity that feels whole and complete and also connection in the relative. The flavor might seem different.. one is to deeply understand and connect by going into "myself" through the inward direction, the other an"outward" direction, about mutual ground, mutual love and bliss through the connection. And then collapse the duality and realize it's all the same, the desire to connect with yourself is the same as the desire to connect with "others" (which not limited to "humans" but all spirit). ? You don't have to choose one over the other if that's not what your heart desires.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about .

It's definitely something one can transcend, I think I'm getting pretty close. But the transcendence usually doesn't come from repression but rather consciously pursuing it for as long as you need.

@Razard86 It's just my thoughts on this but if we had an UBI that guarantees basic survival and dignity things would probably improve.

LOL yeah. Most psyc users I talked to outside this forum don't care about "self-inquiry" or truth... it's more like a social thing, and mental health relief. And they all seem to wanna do it in groups..

@Something Funny Oh I just mean like for most of it to be "eliminated", what I read is around 24 hours. That's not the same as tolerance though which is like you said 1-2 weeks. I'm not too familiar with the biochemistry of the difference between "elimination" vs "tolerance".

@Razard86 Hopefully people have enough wisdom to decide for themselves I guess..
