Insights or self-deception?

I'm looking for any kind of conviction or undeniability. I'm not fixated on "intellectual" only.

My point is that, shy of direct consciousness, what others tell you won't make much of a difference.

The only way to know for sure is to become directly conscious of the truth. Enlightenment is self-validating, since you are there. It is you.

@Blackhawk OK, then. Focus on your own contemplation, you don't need to study other's contributions, really.

Get who and what you are and then you can tell us.

Okay, great. I would love to be enlighetened. But unfortunately I'm not enlightened.

I'm supposed to take psychedelics to get enlighetend, okay, fuck it then, I will take some LSD then, how hard can it be. (Not being sarcastic.)

Bear with me, let me responsibly take some LSD.

I didn't say that.

Contemplation is what I recommended, not psychedelics.

Good luck!

I have tried with contemplation. It doesn't work.

No you haven't you have spent your whole time telling everybody they are wrong. You have closed your mind, true contemplation is to question everything you know to be true. 

Watch this video. Follow the exercise. If you cannot get it after this video then you are not serious enough about this work.

@Razard86 I have done contemplation and came to the conclusion that I shouldn't believe people like you. I'm probably more experienced and serious about the "path" than you are.
