Thread: Entheogen: Awakening The Divine Within

I applaud everyone of you, yes even you Wakata Dreamer for just coming in here. Very nicely put HaRd_WiReD, i believe this too, but only if enough people start looking away from their cellphones, tv shows, societal peer pressures, and money as the only meaningful substance to life. Otherwise we're a doomed race. Meditation is a top priority in reconnecting with the subconscious mind. You must first quite it your conscious before you can hear that which lies beneath.

For a race that has two eyes when one is enough, we are very blind.

I love it.

And this thread is amazing. I do not currently have anything to give back. I agree with all of it, and I have gained a lot from it.

Seconded. I'm about halfway through the film and I only wish that I could show this to the world.

lol I used to think like this too. Then I realized that most people are in a deep sleep and cannot be awaken unless they want to be. Meaning: half the world would just scoff this off as bullshit.

yeah, what CC said, i would go to Every One's home and show them this if i knew it would open their eyes, but most people are blind to the points made in the OP, meaning even if you show them they wont see what you see, they'll see the "devils" and the "immoral" in the video and then blast you with stereotypes and criticism and hatred.

But i agree katie, i would love to be able to show this to everyone so that at least i hit the 2/20 people actually "awake" with it.

I like to be positive about most people. I don't like to shut them out or think of them as different like that.

I have alot of faith that everyone sees enchantment in the world.

I don't people are in a "deep sleep". I think everyone is connected to the world in this positive way, and even if they don't understand or even recognise it I'd like to think it's an intrinsic part of consciousness.

The question I keep asking and never seem to get an answer for is; How do you know that your entheogenic experience is transcendental? How can you tell that you are not just on drugs?

I cant figure out how to respond to this: agreement, disagreement? No idea. Though I do know I am very pleased that someone holds this belief.

I would really like to be positive about people, but it seems like the people just a little younger than me are extremely superficial. It's like they worship superficiality. It seems to me like most peoples minds are horribly out of shape. People spend lots of time text messaging and less time actually conversing(some people will even text someone while in the middle of a conversation with someone else). They also seem to be spending more time watching television and less time reading. To them the quality of information is irrelevant. As long as there is near constant transfer of the familiar, the popular. To them the connection is all about feeling connected, feeling the oneness of all things. They care very little about the end result, as long as they feel like a part of it. To them length is a negative quality because they can experience more connections if they are all short. They have their minds in so many places at once that they are really nowhere.

When the consciousness flows out of people in these sorts of patterns, it's hard for them to break out of the shell of the ego and actually enter into reality. Most people's interactions are not actually interactions with other people but interactions with a mental projection(a verbal hologram) of a person. When interactions are like this it is impossible for them to be meaningful. When people's relationships are based on meaningless interactions they are very unstable. Thus people look to gangs for stability.

They look to the Government or the Church or wherever they feel like they fit in. They look to groups that have a place in society. They find a place in that group and then they have a place in society. Then the sense of existential angst goes away and they can be happy citizens. I'm not trying to say that people ought to feel alienated, but the truth is that we live in a society based on alienation. We live in a society of red vs blue, black vs white. Your this, I'm that, and that's where we fit into society. People derive their sense of self from a verbal hologram that they've created, a collection of labels. In doing this they ignore what they actually are and miss life as it happens.

I'm not trying to say that these are preferences these people have or anything. It's more of a cultural phenomenon. I think it's the result of a last effort by the people in charge(white alpha males who take advantage of the human desire for oneness with reality) to stay in power. They will fall.

The problems of this world really do come down to misunderstanding that oneness, thinking that there is something you have to do in order to get it. INHERENT PERFECTION

Sorry for rambling, but I've had these ideas in my head for a while.

Is there a self? My understanding of the transcendental experience is that it is a shutting down of certain parts of our consciousness. I think that it's very similar to the death process in that way. When these processes stop we are able to see the world naked in all it's beauty. When I've had these experiences I always feel that there is no beginning or end to that which I am. I've heard this called selflessness before and that word makes sense to me.

Yeah, unfortunately most people are too fucking disenchanted (to use a word from the film) to actually give a shit.

I was talking to my friend last night and she asked what I was watching so I told her. Her response? "even i have to say that sounds gay lol" and "omg how u watching this its soooo fucking boring lmao."

A part of me died a little inside.

best.
