Are subtle insights powerful

[Holymoly]

Can insights be deep but subtle? Or does a deep insight have to be mind shattering 

[Jwayne]

I imagine if you are a 50-year old conservative man taking psychadelics for the first time it may be 'mind shattering'.

But if you read and experimented a lot with mysticism from a young age, then there isn't much 'mind shattering' that is left to happen.

I suppose it is a kind of adaptation.

'Mind shattering' insights happen early and later ones are more subtle. But that doesn't mean they're less profound. They are greater than the early ones and they thus require more attention and observation.

It sure can. That is the beauty.

A few weeks ago I was in my kitchen minding my own business when out of nowhere I became directly conscious of Reality. Nothing mind blowing at all; I wasn’t levitating chairs and the room wasn’t changing shape at all. Just Pure Understanding.
