Not a belief, it's all within you. You can test it inside yourself through meditation.
Discussion
That's a totally fair perspective. I don't begrudge or deny the possibility of everyone's beliefs. I just share my own perspective when the topic comes up because I think it's important that minority views are represented. I'm a realist who was raised without any manner of faith or religion, and so I have no basis to believe anything other than what the evidence justifies.
Yea that’s why I always tell people to go within themselves . That one it’s the only true testament to what any theory, philosophy, or religion has shared in the past.
Plus it’s free haha to close your eyes and look deeply within. Darkness at first when you close your eyes than light.
Don’t believe me though. One has to try it for themselves.
I'm a big fan of meditation, and achieving alternate mental states.
Then you may see or experience what I’m saying but again it’s all within everyone. The light within me, shines within you. No drugs needed either.
Drugs are shortcuts that work, but come with consequences. I'm my experience, drugs opened my mind to meditation as a better way.
Most definitely same. I have a few articles on here on entheogens, nde’s, and states of consciousness if you care to read.
Back in the mid-90s, I became very interested in the work of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute. I attended a week-long workshop at the Institute meant to be a practical introduction to out-of-body experiences using their Hemi-Sync audio technology. I achieved some very deep and productive mental states, but not an OBE.
About a month later I did have one that I was able to confirm via external witness who was able to confirm that the experience I had corresponded to actual circumstances and events that took place at the same time. I've tried to reproduce it, and have had some vivid experiences, but unfortunately that was the only experience I was able to objectively confirm.
But the entire saga sparked my interest in altered states, which started with enthogens and audio manipulation, and ultimately led to meditation.
Now this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story.
I’ve been cosmic timeline jumping all my life … first memory at age 3. Meditation 🧘🏻♀️ has helped me chill. #Spirituality is such a personal thing that I’ve learned to stay open to everything when it comes to soul related matters. Why? Because I love humanity.
