When I wrote about my experience of the world looking 2d almost no one could relate, so that’s my thing. 2D consciousness!

Alienated 2D consciousness. Nice book title. Get to work. Hehe

Hmm. Is it just me, but I imagine ants to have a similar experience of the world minus the complexity of thought and emotion that humans have. 

Yeah, like Trump.

No one understands what I am talking about.

Do you intend your "Alien Mind" course to help bridge that understanding gap?

When I hear you say it I feel like I understand. No amount of enlightenment or self-inquiry could give me the consciousness of an octopus, and that same logic applies to an Alien.

Of course I know you mean something far deeper than this. If I want to start to understand Alien Consciousness in the meanwhile, where would I begin?

I once heard a story from eckhart tolle about a person that awoke during the holocaust. It got me thinking of the most hardcore spiritual practice: putting yourself through such suffering you eventually surrender. Who is bold to try

Maybe (real) You is the octopus, Alien, what Not,…, already? In a totally obvious way, if certain illusions of duality and separation are cleared away?

Fascinating. 

What does Nonduality and Oneness actually mean and imply? Which apparently is supposed to always be true , or the case? Oh well, just forgot, we are sometimes a little bit selective here, and are not always  aware of this Absolute Truth. Some minor or major illusions of separation and duality sometimes interfere. But nothing that some substances can not temporary, at least partly, clarify a bit.
 

Partly. Temporary.

My tolerance for pain is such that even if I have to do chores I awaken instead.

Ramana Maharshi has had his awakening in an extremely stressful situation like that.
