Can Severely Autistic People Become Enlightened?

[Vingger]

@Leo Gura You are really playing with my credibility line haha

[Leo Gura]

@Outer Very interesting. Thanks for the share!

Seems like he's not a lost cause after all. Although 700ug is an epic-size dose. I go deeper than he went on 125ug.

So this seems to confirm my theory that people can have radically different brain chemistry, which gives them different access to reality. Although in the end, he was still able to reach the Absolute.

I know this sounds very vague but I know an autistic enlightened individual.
He doesnt have an account on here rn so wont post. Just to bring an example - it is possible. After all its all consciousness.

My brother is severely autistic and he is probably the most happy person I know. He walks around happily humming to himself outside for hours. Anyone’s idea that autistic people are tortured by there thoughts is total bullshit. A lot of autistic people are probably more spiritually developed than the rest of the population.

Absolutely, there are a few super duper enlightened autistic/aspergers folks on Ted talks, and others that have made less of a public appearance.

I think it would be easier to become enlightened than it is for neurotypical beings, because you are already on a cognitive edge, so it would be easier for you to access new mental exploration tools and use them for introspection.

You could also have potential to be unconscious just like anybody else too.

And of course, if we extend the concept of the bohdisattva to all conscious beings, then of course, you right now as you are, are experiencing the world exactly the same way the Buddha himself would, if he were in your shoes.  You are literally doing the world a service by carrying your viewpoint around with you and responding appropriately to your own perceptions.  This process is not contingent upon how your grey matter is arranged or what skull it's in.

I have a theory, when psychedelics stop working for you and you can no longer tell a difference between your sober state and the psychedelic state maybe then you are truly enlightened

I just realized you said SEVERELY.  I'm not familiar with severe forms of autistim.  But that's besides the point.  I have, however, been around children with chromosomal and other such disorders and they have the same life force as anyone.  Maybe they incarnated just for the sake of challenging our belief in the necessity of their shade of the rainbow, which is kind of like... enlightenment!

@Outer thanks that was super cute.

I dare any so-called enlightened master to snort 30mg of 5-MeO. Then we can record the look in their face.

I've already succeeded in getting one enlightened guy vomitting so hard on 10mg he never came back for a second dose.

@Vipassana He's too furry. Probably wouldn't work on him

[Vipassana]

@Leo Gura He'll lose all his fur. He just needs 2-CB up his ass.

c'mon leo

grow up

[Vipassana]

@ajasatya He's speaking thru itself, as itself, to itself, living within itself, dying to itself forever and ever. No Leo, NIRVANA, SHIVA, VISHNU, JESUS, MAHAVERA, perfect, elegant, no need for growing up

[Vipassana]

@Vipassana This reply ^ = Self Deception P 3 intro lmaoo

[ajasatya]

non-duality is full of traps perfectly fit for deception.

the sense of individuality is also part of Reality. we have to embrace BOTH duality and non-duality. be a no-one and a grown man at the same time. this is the true meaning of wisdom.

There's a quick way to test it.

Autistic person + psychedelic = ??????

I would assume it works just like usual. Which shows you there is hope.

Leo, I just want to gently point out to you that you may have fallen prey to a common cognitive bias. You remind me of my mother when she discovered vitamin D and for months thought every single problem could be solved by someone, somewhere taking more vitamin D.  http://hamiltonrich.com.au/man-with-a-hammer-syndrome/
