Visionary

Yeah, was talking about this with a mate of mine yesterday. Isn't this exactly the zone where magicians make use of our brains "predictive abilities" that are responsible for these controlled hallucinations?

Rogan isn't half the open minded guy he pretends to be, but you got my vote.

Mate, how do you relate with the Absolute? Now that your ego is deconstructed, do you feel Infinite Truth constantly? Or is that something you can tap into. I'm guessing it's not very practical to be in such (non)state of God Consciousness all the time. @Azrael

Had this third eye awakening yesterday, during a psychedelic truffels trip. Felt very connected to the Truth. A new intuitive dimension you can directly tap into. Had intense ringing in my ears. They somewhat feel like receivers to a higher frequency. As if you're trying to pick up a signal. And many times a it felt as if a lightning bolt of love hit me in the pineal gland. I also developed this Martin Ball typa voice out of nowhere. It felt as the most authentic expression of myself. I'm not gonna push this third eye too much. Not really waiting for a psychosis man :P. @Dan Arnautu how is everything going now, since the awakening?

Feminizes men? So you mean men are more in contact with their emotions and their feminine side? Probably the best thing that could happen to men. And of course i care about those millions. Mindfulness has not only helped me with my problems, but so so so much more. So who cares what Peterson says? If ya get me.

Hi guys, Just bought the life purpose course and i'm extremely excited about this new point in my life. My gut tells me that shits about to go down. Now, i have some questions. How good are we able to combine our enlightenment goals/developments with the life purpose course? The last 1.5 years have been incredible in terms of raising my consciousness. Multiple deep enlightenment experiences and i'm at a stage i could never have imagined. Because of this intuition i kinda don't want to have too much routines or habits in my life. For some irrational reason i think that this might fuck up my intuitive way of living? What do you guys think? What are your experiences? How do these 2 seperate paths relate to eachother? Are they synergetic? Or the opposite?

My thoughts on this? Who gives a shit what Peterson thinks. Try it. Only way to find out. The guy is apparently very narrow minded with regard to this. And does not even take into consideration, that his opinion can influence millions to NOT do these practices (yes, people are that stupid).

Maybe if we encounter an alien civilization with a far more developed brain than ours, we will know the answer. Our imaginations might indeed be limited by the brain. Maybe there are an infinite amount of those civilization who are infinitely more developed and have access to infinite higher realities than we think is possible. But wouldn't they also be part of that same infinite One?

Isn't that infinity? Every possible and impossible thing at the same possible and impossible time? Neverending existing and non-existing realities.

Maybe he tried to show you WHY people are trying out too much new things. That they maybe find it boring and seek stimulation. Through multiple exercises they keep it fun. But that's me projecting me on someone else. I probably do this sometimes myself.

It works very well for me! Had some breakthrough experiences with weed. But yes, the emotional turmoil can be very strong. I don't mind that. I know that it helps to grow. Moderate use of weed has been extremely useful for me Edit: i would not even say moderate. Once every 2 months or 2.5 months or something. I've been an experienced smoker, so i can handle it all quite well.

God/reality is absolutely terrifying guys. Its overwhelming presence crushes you (ego) to tiny motherfucking bits if you're ready. I wasn't. I could not physically die. I couldn't let go. For 5 minutes i have been suphocating and panicking. But eventually I could not let go. If you're progressing and being Aware of Awareness becomes somewhat easier... Then try this out: Feel that connection with Nothingness. Follow your heart. Literally. Feel God in you. Like a deep deep priar. Feel what you were before you were born, after you're dead and what you are now. Follow your heart. That deep intuition that you already know your true nature. I have the feeling that its our hearts that lead us to god. Our true nature. This here is extremely helpful. Very very powerful.

Good to hear my friend Being aware that you're aware while contemplating this might help.

Yeah, i tried relaxing and giving in with all my might ?. But yeah.. YOU can't do anything. Relaxing/not relaxing or whatever. My ego was pretty much not visible throughout the day. This intense moment revealed what was under the curtain. Exactly this intensity makes you identify with your ego to the max. Like i've been succesfully ignoring a big wound for 24 hours. Then someone comes along and puts his finger in it. He smiles at you and tells you that this pain is all an illusion.

I have read your other post just now. Prior to this, i've been aware of my existence all day. Aware of the existence of the mind and every other sensation that confirms our existence. Ego felt pretty much gone. Everything went by intuitively. Me not thinking about things. Things just happening. But ego was still there. It was SILENT. Weakened. But very very well hidden. Facing the real truth/ the Absolute is not something you can easily choose to be ready for. I tried this with all my might, but it was futile. I am simply not ready. Not sure how I can every be ready for it. We will see. I think that it can only be aware of itself through us. It feels as a place we all have forgotten, but still remember at the same time as he puts it so beautifully. I still have no fucking clue to be honest lol :p. Yeah, Usaine would be proud of me lol. But i don't think i'm advanced enough to not run away. I'm giving Kundalini yoga a try as you mentioned in your Insights. I kinda got the impression that my messed up bodily state didn't quite make things easier in the process of letting go.

@Leo Gura Maybe create a new subforum to filter all these kind of topics and posts? Having a moderator or two would be helpful maybe. Just to export these posts from the enlightenment subforum to a new subforum.

Preach Leo. Hope your post will be a proper bullshit filter. Certain topics from certain members really make it less and less attractive to engage in constructive interactions. Enough with that clownesque nonsense.

Well i have reached a certain point,where i have no evidence what determines the separation of the senses. So from that perspective, yeah. But you need to work your way through this exercise to realize this.

Thanks for this piece. Yes, but it's a very difficult distinction. My friend suffered from a severe psychosis twice. Thought he was Jesus, made his own religion etc. They drugged him up until he was completely numb. Now when i speak to him, he knows he was spiritually enlightened. A complete loss of ego. Synchronicities every second. However, he was also completely deluded in certain ways. He started to interpret messages that simply weren't there. I start to realize more and more that the social norm of being "mentally healthy" makes less and less sense. Once you wake up from the illusion, the whole world looks nuts. So what to do when? Very difficult to say. BUT DEFINITELY LOOK FOR HELP. http://www.jaysongaddis.com/the-shamanic-view-of-mental-illness/ http://nautil.us/issue/40/learning/a-mental-disease-by-any-other-name

Western medicine is nowhere near understanding these phenomena. I advised him to look for an authentic shaman for some proper guidance, but he laughed it off. But of course as you say, if that doesn't work, a shrink/clinical mental health care should be considered! Good luck John

All of them. They are all interconnected and reinforce each other. For example: Matt preaches to love everything that arises. But loving or love is often mistaken for an emotional state. It's about an indiscriminate (love) attitude towards everything that arises. It's an act of surrender and faith that also strongly characterizes the gut awakening where you realize you can't do anything to reach enlightenment. You are not in control. You let go of resistance. You accept/love everything that arises.

Ahahhaha snick. My man could be a cartoon figure.

A friend of mine had 2 times psychosis diagnosed in his life. What he explained to me was spiritual enlightenment. But he was also completely deluded at some points. Seeing hidden messages when there were none for example. Synchronicities every minute or 2. These people tune in to something, that i'm 100 procent convinced of. But they're not able to understand this radical change without PROPER guidance. John was completely lost, poor soul.

Exactly! You cannot do anything about it. NOTHING! YOU can never reach enlightenment. That's why you have to do everything with an intrinsic motivation. Meditate to meditate. Love to love. Let go of control to let go of control. I'm exactly at this stage now. It's really all about the awakening of the gut. The true development of your intuition. Quite a painful process though with a lot of anxiety.

Oh mate... this is the BEST thing that could happen to you. Follow this personal development path as if it's your LAST OPTION. Look back in a couple of years. Laugh. And realize how you need to experience the gutter before you can reach for the sky! Use this moment. Use your negativity and depression! It's time to do some real psychological heavy lifting. You will see that everything happens at exactly the right moment. This path will take you further than you could ever dream of. Further than your friends can imagine. Further than your past self would ever have gotten. Now.. time for action! Get obsessed with this shit. And start confronting yourself. Good luck mate.
