Some profound insights I have had during my spiritual journey

[Antor8188]

@Leo Gura and others these are not profound epiphanies I had during doing acid,shrooms, watching spiritual videos, contemplating,etc.

1)Time is an illusion. The now is eternal.

2) we are all God with multiple personality disorders.

3) the material world is layers upon layers over nothingness. 

4) Life is a dream. By dream I don't mean the Wikipedia definition of a dream. It is the absolute dream and reality at the same time hence the duality collapses. 

5) My body is a segment of the universe but I am the entire universe. The distinction between self and other things collapses.  

6) The self is an illusion. What you identify as creates all of your suffering. 

Things I am yet to learn:

1) I still don't understand how birth and death is imaginary. 

2) I still don't know how is every moment eternal. 

3) still haven't experienced infinite love. 

4) yet to achieve full ego death. 

5) What is the point of life 

6) Why can't I get what I want if I'm God and creating my own reality.

That's a very good start.

The other answers are sure to come, so just keep going.

@Leo Gura I still don't understand why birth and death is imaginary because I can't distinguish between physical and mental death(ego death) and how could birth be imaginary if I saw pictures of my mother holding a toddler me right after she gave birth to me lol.

Well...

You just imagined that. You imagined your mother.

You are imagining in both directions from the NOW, back and forward.

It's a mindfuck. You won't get this without a radically high state of consciousness. So keep tripping and you'll see it.

I think you don't need psychedelics to understand that. lets see, become aware of yourself sitting in a chair, of this exact moment. It's obvious how you're creating projections to the past and future right now right? They are mental images that you are producing. you think they are based on something real, but this thought is also a mental image that you are creating right now. everything is. You are imagining the past, the world, others, the cosmos, everything. where is the difficulty of seeing this? the difficult thing is to stop imagining and dive into the infinite present, into creative perfection. For that you need psychedelics, or at least, they are a great help

I've definitely had that exact insight. I have even swapped through multiple selves.

You get a taste of what multiple personality disorder must be like for folks.

Would you say that it's like the same consciousness having different lives or different personalities having the same life?

Well, actually it didn't feel like either, so maybe multiple personality disorder is different than what I experienced.

Maybe, maybe not. I guess we'll never know exactly. ?
