That's great. Hope everyone sees this so they can get instantly enlightened. That's what happened to Spira, right? Or no, he spent 20+ years doing mantra/concentration meditation. I like Spira, but it's easy to say "just be aware". His prior concentration practice for sure had a part in why he could benefit so quickly from his advaita practice. And advaita is great but sometimes it takes work to be stable and interested in being aware, and this is where psychedelics CAN help to speed up this process.

You are already enlightened :)

@Esoteric Again, awakening to nonduality is not full enlightenment. ive been stabilized in nonduality for 4 years now, but your limbic system has to catch up to the awakening by clearing ALL fear mechanisms and the attachments that try to run away from it. only then and only then, can you be considered enlightened. before that you are just awake to nonduality, because there are still veils of delusion that cover your experience, which is incongruent to the nature of nonduality.

You seem to be quite lucid in your approach and understanding. Out of curiousity why are you on this forum?

@Esoteric if you truly think you're enlightened, or everyone is enlightened, then youre not really congruent to reality. Do you really think people are fully enlightened with all the egoic delusions that are in their system?

I agree with that.

Question: What are you looking for when you do psychs? What do you want to find?

@Rilles yep, hes a pretty cool teacher, though i suggest you read or listen to shunryu zen master if youd like, i believe he has much more depth than most teachers.
