Heart of Space

Thanks for not torturing us all the way till Sunday. Appreciate ya, Leo, hope it's all going smoothly so far.

I approve of the shit posting in this thread.

It's important to understand the nature of ego and that it can be pervasive in spiritual practice as well. But you absolutely cannot meditate too much as long as you are doing it correctly. I wouldn't worry about it.

Open mind, but skeptical. Nothing wrong with that, seems like you have the correct attitude. I think other people here could learn from this.

Thanks man, we getting there. <3

Point taken. Consider my previous posts invalid. <3

Ah, you're upset. Sorry, friend. But, food for thought, one liner's to enlightenment are not original, nor have they ever worked for a single person ever.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Your one word response seems angry, but this is an important point. If you have built up constructs of self, they take time to deconstruct. That process is very slow. Are you new to this stuff?

That's actually pretty wrong. If you build up mental constructs over many years of your life, they take time to deconstruct. Yes, you are already enlightened, but to be actually realized you have to uncondition yourself and that can take a lifetime depending on the person.

You're a boob. Be quiet lol.

+1 In the worst case it's temporary and the insights he'll have for us will still be great. His talent lies in articulating this stuff to the modern western logical mind. Like my ass. Can't wait for his next video. Don't wait till Sunday Leo! This is important!

Psychedelics brah, the effects are real. Cheat code. I know some goofy anime video game nerd who has died temporarily on LSD and became everything. It's no joke.

Holy shit, congrats on dying Leo. I wonder though if he just got done tripping or something though. Pupils be dilated as eff.

I've heard descriptions of the k-hole from the drug ketamine being similar.

Love is complex and simple. It is simple in that it is your primary nature and in its truest expression is effortless. And it is complex in its infinite different possible ways of being expressed in reality. I used to not know how to love, because I was a broken sad, angry, and disconnected person. I had to make great effort to learn to love others, but now I realize that love takes no effort, in fact, the irony is that to not love takes the most effort of all. I'm of course still always learning how to be in this effortless existence. Let's all deepen our love together. <3

There has already been good advice given in this thread. I only pop in to say, OP, that you are not alone. This is a very common phenomenon with this practice. Keep at it, you can do it.

@cetus56 I think you're spot on. Everything that every was, is, and will be happens in a single dimensionless moment.

Lol, I was only joking. <3

That poem is fantastic. Very cool, @erik8lrl, I'm happy for you.

Yes, but who is the one who's asshole is being fucked?

You can live countless lives. Experience paradoxes or impossibilities, or even be annihilated and become oblivion itself. It's really quite something worthy of the most intense astonishment.

You want to know the kicker? That sadness you feel now has always been there. The LSD just brought it to the surface and forced you to look at it dead in the eyes in the most vivid and blunt way possible. The important part now is to stay on point with your meditation practice. This part can be unpleasant, but give it time and have faith that you'll be better for it in the long run. The alternative is to go back to hiding from it in TV, internet, food, drugs, sex, or whatever distractions you have. You have to face it eventually, just do it now and you'll achieve a level of happiness you didn't think was possible.

I agree.

If you know deception for what it is you aren't being deceived. Deception comes from ignorance and if you are ignorant you are not fully enlightened.

If I were you I'd wait on the DMT till a later date. You have to establish yourself strongly in mindfulness before going deep into psychedelics in my opinion. You're trying to run from your suffering it seems rather than facing it and looking it straight in the eyes. Looking it straight in the eyes is hard to do, but necessary. Becareful, be smart, be safe. I'm sorry you feel so alone and unloved. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
