@Natasha Tori Maru @Leo Gura ive never cried in bliss at an orgasm, but ive sure as shit have cried when I realized other is me. Being Her will always be better then fucking Her. ☺️

Not gonna lie - I have had such intense, single pointed focus meditation sessions where all is so married in union it was the bliss of orgasm. After I really considered orgasm; it is a pure state of absolute being. Total single pointed focus. Irrefutable. A total inability to seperate mind in that state. It makes sense the deepest state of focussed meditation feel like orgasm, somehow. I shit you not, the feeling was the same. And so utterly shocking. It is a practice to reach those states though. I cannot get there without a lot of dedicated time. A purge of modern life does it. Isolation. It is no wander sex and orgasm is a huge drive for humanity if this is what we touch on. Who knows ...

“Ignorance is bliss”. It’s when you start thinking about it that it becomes a burden. They don’t see it as anything to escape because they haven’t built the structures to bother them. “The ability to step back and see the bigger picture” only occurs if you have the preference and capacity. Without the preference and capacity, the ability never manifests. Sure, it’s a more sophisticated use of the mind, but I’m not sure calling it “advanced” is the best frame, as it seems to smuggle ego in while at the same time obfuscating the more important preference and capacity mechanisms. Maybe I’ve misread, but you seemed to have projected a problem a very specific cognitive architecture perceives onto the general population. Modern life has a way of wearing all of us down, but in different ways. For thinkers such as ourselves, it’s a different kind of burden with different challenges. The average person isn’t bothered by endless complexity, because they don’t perceive it.

Probably the contrast is what makes it special. Wouldn’t be nearly as meaningful to have it all if you hadn’t first been through a lifetime or more of deprivation. Although that still doesn’t explain why people go through unspeakably horrific waking nightmares. No individual would willingly subject themselves to things like gang rape, torture, etc. Even if the contrast once it’s eventually over is unlimited bliss in every way they ever wanted.

Some return to nothing and some go on to become self referencing nirvanic bliss and everything in between. If you have achieved full on sovereignty and sentience you will get to choose your next experience based solely on the experiences of this one. In other words, death is whatever the heck you want it to be. If you're just another flower that didn't bud death will be the end of the texture that is you but the good news is you won't be around to care. Sounds like a win/win to me.

@Miguel1 yes, you describe it very well. I don't know why, but I have always been this way. It is like some wicked cosmic joke to wake from the bliss of sleep. Once I have momentum for the day I am fine, I don't think and body just does it's thing. If I am suffering from a hardship, the morning is much worse. Waking from a nap also sometimes. Very discombobulating which compounds the overall malaise.

If he were truly more conscious than average he wouldn't care about Trump/he would speak about him stoically, especially since as a self-proclaimed non-dualist he is supposed to be aware that Trump is a reflection. We want more joy or intensity in general but as i said once again Martin Ball is still busy insulting Trump like a child and stomping his feet in anger, and his life isn't particularly great and he even developed a serious chronic illness a few years ago. What probably happens is since he bases his theory essentially on psychedelic experiences once he’s sober he reverts to being just an random ego at best. Why would you want to vomit all over yourself and end up covered in bruises while on 5-MeO-DMT when none of the people who use it regularly have anything to show for it? Psychedelics in general. A tree is judged by its fruit. Where are the guys who turn their lives around thanks to 5-MeO? "Hey, I used to be depressed, do cocaine, and dress up as a girl. Now thanks to 5-MeO-DMT I’ve become a tennis coach, i eat ice cream and I live in a state of bliss nigga" No it doesnt; I personnaly almost never think about Trump I don't even really have an opinion on him. He thinks about Trump because he is Trump; he projects things onto him. Impulsiveness it seems in this case.

Friday: July 17th, 2026. Jolly by using a molly is distinct from sober bliss.

Suffering is sub-optimal. Allowable but unnecessary. A problem easily fixable. The world isn't suffering. It is the seer of suffering. The seer needs to correct his perception. That is the work. And the miracle is this: when you no longer see suffering, you no longer feel suffering! Why? Because the world is you - tadaa! So now you will abide in peace and not have to go through lifetimes of suffering. You merged back to the whole. Manifestation is now enjoyed, no longer endured. The puzzle of life solved and everyone happy. Everyone will reach eventually. Reality approves of bliss not blight. Drop the blight and see the light. That's the whole game.

It's not ignorance per se that is bliss. It's the lack of thinking. Thinking can make the mind unrestful, which can produce suffering if managed poorly. Being ignorant does not make you happy. It only simplifies complexities, which can make relaxation easier with little management.

Hey then what was all that "ignorance is bliss" crap?

Understand that there is realer better deeper than this. Check out, wake up. No sweat though - take your time. Spin you wheels, lick your lips, build castles in the sand. Ignorance is bliss when that's what one knows.

@AerisVahnEphelia I tnever saw any trauma in him or longing for dead. It was the opposite. He was probably in a constant bliss state after his ayahuasca experience 5 years ago. since then he was tripping 24/7, had still incredible physiqe, a lot of girls and a mission. For me connor murphy was in a power state all the time and more happy than a normal human can experience in his normal life. And he wanted us to show that through his videos that he is free of all fears, even the fear of death.

Right now, I have no wounds whatsoever. It felt painful before awakening to my true nature and during the process. But those were healed as awareness crept in—I could sense how the pain subsided. I did not have to heal myself—the higher level of consciousness did that for me. And I remember how much pain I was in before starting to meditate: Toxic shame, insecurity, no discipline whatsoever, and unable to keep a basic job. I was addicted to social media, junk food, weed, and so forth. All that had to go away, or my life would have been ruined. While it is true that I sacrificed my ego and other forms of pleasure, that doesn't mean I lost something. Because the bliss of awareness is much more enjoyable than anything in the world or of the ego. I'm not saying that all people should do what I did; I am only saying that force was necessary sometimes, and that it's no easy game to overcome the ego. And the way I see it now is that it's not a tragedy or something bad that happened to me. I see it as a little bit of ego an struggle. That's it. And that's true, Elliott. For some people, because they struggle with heavy mental health issues, they will experience horrible side effects as a result of meditating. But they can be transcended and eventually healed. I went through that because I come from both families with harsh intergenerational trauma. My grandfather committed suicide.

Your brain gets high, then eventually crashes, because your biology isn't meant to stay different from its baseline. (That said, I think most people aren't actually living at their baseline. Anytime you're using drugs or are possessed by memetics or "spooks" (Stirner), you're basically sick and "on drugs.") There is no reason to meditate. It's almost like trying to get high from weed without actually smoking it. Meditation is completely useless. (Then again, everything is, so if you find it fun, go for it. I just wouldn't expect to find a lasting state of bliss that comes for free.) My theory is that your brain enters a kind of survival mode, similar to the adrenaline response during a fight, and after a while you experience a high. It's like the brain injects a survival response into the system because it doesn't know how to process what's happening. That said, there might be a good reason to meditate. The only way to know is to do it and find out.

A glimpse into truth doesn't fix an unstable ego. It can start the process of fixing it. But it doesn't automatically fix itself. A radical experience can leave a lasting imprint and cause what seems like serenity on the surface, and it can also cause a radical neurotic and obsessive bungee smack. Bipolar mania has many of the signs of neurosis and obsession, that you get hyper-fixated on certain things and it seems extremely profound, but there is also a restlessness and resistance. A manic person who is not resisting is just in bliss, their mind is silent, where does the energy go? To create bliss. That's especially how kundalini awakening can either cause immense bliss or immense contraction and not coincidentally mania. You're just upping the energy levels. How you deal with it, how reactive your ego is or self-fueled it is, that's what dictates whether it's chaotic and difficult or calm and pleasant. A subtle nuance is that your mind could probably still be "psychotic" while being in a non-dual state, but that would have to be in the realm of thought content ("thought disorder") rather than immense contraction and the associated restlessness, neurosis, perhaps more in the direction of schizophrenia than bipolar mania (although both see worsening of symptoms under elevated stress and energy levels). Like you could imagine someone who has immense calm but their mind is simply computing things quite differently than other people.

Very interesting, truly serious in his practice, and his descriptions of states of bliss are accurate and authentic. I'd like to be able to meditate for a whole day (not 5 months 😅), but for now it's impossible; my ego would start screaming at me to stop wasting my time right now. But in a couple of hours I can achieve a level of dissolution close to total. The thing is, automatically, when you begin meditating, your state changes to: there is no good or bad, no difference. Then your entire energetic structure relaxes immediately, and the boundaries of reality blur. You realize that you're creating barriers all the time with preference, which is inevitable and necessary, but it's essential to be able to deactivate this for a few minutes each day, even just one minute. The difference is total. When the barriers fall, reality becomes limitless. Then what is recognizes itself; nothing more is needed, no infinity, no god, no source, just what is. But there can be more, that is, mystical experience. The mystical experience is the opening to power, to the absolute source, to the sacred that vaporizes your psyche and, with just a fleeting glimpse, tells you: purify yourself. humble yourself. align yourself with the sacred. Then a process begins.

To transcend what you want to transcend to pursue what you want to pursue, this is what Leo wants to pursue. He's not pursuing 'bliss'. Ya *The need to accomplish what he's seeking. He's not on roids, studying linguistics, or living on a yacht or in a monastery. *the inability to entertain reactive criticism. Ya It's not normal, just not inherently 'bad' Make a video and post it, I'm sure Leo will study it. Yes I don't think that strategy is viable, because of the motivations and 'purpose'.

Why do you consider the Aghori to be particularly advanced people? They are like homeless monks. It's great to meditate and ponder the mysteries of the universe and bliss out on it and then you come back and you're still living your life. The dudes spent their whole life meditating I would hope they have had mystical experiences and are not super shocked by 5 meo. It's people that are able to take their high consciousness and help transform the world that really impress me personally, like Bryan Johnson. He loved 5 meo dmt so much he got it tattooed and is living his life daily to further humanity and our whole medical apparatus not just sit around in a tent doing nothing.

Drugs will not lead to a permanent state of nondual or unitary perception, known as nirvikalpa samadhi in sanskrit. It can help one to get a glimpse into higher states of consciousness with artificial means. However regular use of them instead of using meditation can lead to addiction to such drugs. Cravings for drugs actually create more vasanas or psychological impressions that strengthens duality rather than creating nonduality. Many crimes have been committed under the influence of drugs. The Nazis used drugs to stifle their sensibilities during their numerous crimes against civilians during invasions, though it is part of soldiering conduct not to harm civilians. The enlightened master Meher Baba stated that " Enlightenment is not found in a pill. " No user of drugs ever in the history of the world has attained the bliss and joy found in enlightenment. The bliss of enlightenment is also of a permanent nature in stark contrast to that of the temporary highs of drugs and alcohol charecterised by painful hangovers later on. Repeated use of drugs can also damage the capacity to meditate. Osho had talked on the nature of drugs ... https://www.oshotimes.com/insights/health/mind/understanding-addictions/ https://oshofriends.com/counseling/25566?__cf_chl_f_tk=RbUE3GRjnZBx7_74tdTc7FUm2O3nUz5CHQCVo.6JTOc-1783311572-1.0.1.1-qC_AAdLDjH0bKueYe61bBXwtWnr92JXMxGiG6uVMGGc https://oshofriends.com/counseling/32474

In English there's two general categories of happiness: 1) "Acclaim" - this is the feeling one has when a beneficial story the individual has crafted for themself comes to fruition such that it's undeniable, "written with fire in the sky", for everyone to see. Example: designing a house, and then feeling happy when it is completed. 2) "Joy" - this is the feeling one has when a malevolent story the individual has crafted for themself flips dramatically such that the malevolent has become benevolent. Bad has flipped to good. Example: getting on a roller-coaster, slowly going up the big hill, dangling over the edge, then... whoosh you feel like you're flying not falling. Acclaim is a satisfying feeling which settles the mind-and-heart ,the psyche. Joy, in stark contrast is an arousal which unsettles the mind-and-heart, the psyche. ok Because these stories are open-ended, it's challenging to encounter either acclaim or joy. 2 ways that work for me: Transmute the anxiety into wonder. They're distant opposing extremes of the same underlying cognition. Either one can be derived from its opposing partner. In this modern world, with instant access to facts and knowledge, wondering has become discouraged. Most people don't appreciate the unknown. Unknowns are outside of their locus of control. Modern people don't like that. They want to know. Knowing makes them feel powerful. Instead, embrace the unknown as a source of awe and wonder. Find pleasure in the unknown as a source of surprise. This technique is useful because the inner-story telling doesn't need to change. It naturally cultivates joy when the unknown potential for harm/losing is replaced by unknown potential for help/gaining. Another way involves chopping up the inner-story into bite-size chunks which have distinct endings. Then, do the work to map out how to get to the endings of these bite size "side-quests" for lack of a better word. Look for opportunities to flip the script on the harmful/losing outcomes. And do the work to "stack the deck" in your favor to accomplish the helping/gaining outcomes. Specifically how? My vote? No. It's the opposite. Happiness necessarily is attached to outcome. Detachment brings stasis and a form of bliss which is like returning to the womb. Many people are seeking this due to trauma, frustration, and bafflement. But, it's not a panacea for everyone. Those who seek detachment religiously, and are devoted to it like a god, will say it's the **only** way. And it's true for them. It is the **only** way for them. Agreed. This is the distinction between happiness, in all its forms, and bliss in all its forms. Detachment is an inward-journeying. Embracing the unknown as a path towards enlightenment ( literally en-lightening the burdens of life ) is called by many a "Fool's Journey". It's out-going. It's the opposite of detachment. It's integrating/connecting. The Fool is the unexpected hero of this story. See below, in a spoiler to save space on-screen. The story is included in the Tarot pantheon/construct, but, the purpose isn't foretelling the future. The purpose is to find the Hero-Fool as it exists within oneself and others. Once it is found within the heart-and-mind, it can be called on in response to life's events, connecting them to opportunities instead of defaulting into void.

The only problem in the world is interpretation. We see bad. We should say, this in my mind tricking me. I don't know what this means. I am ready to see differently. This ushers in a miracle. Everything gets reinterpreted. Your box is my bliss. Nothing can touch me. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.

I did 20 ceremonies taking full doses of Bufo Alvarius as well as dozens of microdoses on my own. Sometimes I felt totally connected with divinity, tasting my existence, contacting the deepest part of my soul, feelings of terror and bliss. But there was no long term affects, such as deconditioning or “cleaning”. I now believe that drugs can’t do this. This has to be done over the longer term through yogic practices that have been around for thousands of years. You can’t force spirituality with drugs. This is a materialistic notion.

Thursday: July 2nd, 2026. Overflowing with a positive emotion is distinct from authentic bliss.

There is one spiritual festival here in Finland. It’s relatively popular. It’s literally just conformity. You can’t talk with them about anything authentic, cuz they are all high on their conformity bliss. The more we niche down into serious spiritual events and retreats, the creepier it gets to go there to approach people romantically. And finally, in these more serious spaces, there is virtually no one I find attractive.
