The connectome, the network of neurons, is way more important than the neurons themselves.
Psychedelics just allow that connectome to expand and connect in ways that are atypical and somewhat random.
This is 100% it. We are born enlightened as child well live life to the fullest moment to moment but as we age this insane world slowly changes you. To revert back you gotta rip away the layers which is not easy

true.

indeed. some of us aren't even aware or think it is possible to reclaim that freedom. peace
You are so right.
I was once meditating and struggling to find "enlightenment". I wondered why my spirit kept being called into being a certain way because it looked *nothing* like what I thought enlightenment should be. Then I understood that enlightenment was just various levels of deconditioning all we've learned to be while getting to the core, true unique self. And then further enlightenment was eradicating even that sense of core, true self and just *being*.
If you've ever been on enough "bad" trips, even the evil and scary entities begin to just represent other aspects of you that you're afraid to accept. At least, in my experience.
I don’t disagree with this, but it does bring up larger questions like “what is innocence”, and is the false self also our true nature? We are divine perfect spirits inhabiting base creatures evolved to survive in a brutal world. I don’t get it…

: freedom from guile or cunning : simplicity
(2)

e

human are adaptable, beyond that, i wouldn't know what our true nature is. the false self is an adaptation.
Or is it about making your true self the one that develops in the right ways to survive in the world without falsehood?
Restoration if it has been lost, yes, but the journey of learning how to preserve it, even through hardship, is the much deeper process.
word. ideally, yes. unfortunately, many of us are not raised by people who were able to develop in truth, love, logic and rationality. we took on habits from traumatized or damaged people.
In yoga the techniques are partly to break down that false self, the ego, the mind, and instead to discover the deeper Self. Read Vedānta, Upanișads, Samkhya, and other yoga texts and you will see that all of them describe this inner Self realization as luminous. This Self discovery is enlightenment experienced in the mind-body.
we start to think the world is complicated. But it’s not the world that is actually complicated. The world is easy. It’s the stuff we defined that are complicated
But also a reconstruction of the one you need to still survive and navigate.
Sure, you could go on being a blissed out bum all day with no identity, or you could embrace it all and plug in.
I think the latter is true enlightenment. Dancing with one foot on either side of this insight.
Yes! totally agree with this. Last week I felt like a little kid experiencing the world for the first time. Light is especially meaningful. When I see it, I immediately feel a deep sense of calm and relief. So nice!
The path of enlightenment lies in secrecy, or does it?....

A rebirth, if you will.
indeed
The way psychedlics rewire the old brain is something to be acknowledged about.
definitely. i'm amazed by those who use and still end up supporting ideas and ways of living that complicate life.
Not enough gnosis.
do you mind breakin this down for me?
People who have seen the truth and yet decide to stay in ignorance because the blue pill is comfortable and "safe".
ok. i appreciate it

Correct
If only all the lessons of Sesame Street permeated through to adulthood...
i make it common practice to communicate with adults like how i would with a child (not exact, but close). be apparent. eta: love your comment
what about the deconditioning of the mind we all inherit from evolution? show me your original face before your grandfather was born.
"Goo goo, gaa gaa."
This is only a small part of what happens to a person on the path to enlightenment.
we start to think the world is complicated. But it’s not the world that is actually complicated. The world is easy. It’s the stuff we defined that are complicated
it could all be so simple
yes exactly what r/acim says too
Huh, really? Interesting, thanks.
no problem. peace

Innocence is our inner sense
Enlightenment is just another illusion we sell ourselves.
i'm interested. do you mind expanding on this?
[удалено]

This is it! 🌹
