And yet sometimes following bliss is the right thing to do. Is there any guarantee that going deeper into the darkness leads to desired insight or transformation?

[@bereantrb]

Good selection, as always. The stock footage, however, is distracting. I find the straight clips are far more effective at focusing on the ideas, which need no help with being engaging.

👍👍Hi. And what of the Silent " middle " ( Meister Eckhart )? Must we bow to doctrine over inner-inspired revelation? The doctrinal like to claim a gate-keeping role over our self-experienceable blissful heart... don't they?

Beware of wisdom you didn't earn...love that. I've always found something unsettling about the people taking mushrooms/LSD equating their experience to that of some meditation masters. There was no sacrifice to obtain that experience. In general that seems to be the issue I have with the Woke religion. It asks nothing of you accept loyalty. You don't need to give anything up. All that's required is repeating what the priestly class tells you and your position is elevated. You get to feel like a good person for doing nothing.

Is this your experience? Because when I took an overdose of 300 ug of LSD I had an accidental out of body experience. I went to heaven, I saw there was no god, I came to terms against my will with the REAL TRUTH. I had to face everything I believed was a lie. My entire Ego up until then was fake. Not give anything up? I had to give up my entire self up to that point and start my life over. It was the most tragic, honest, & beautiful experience of my life. It was humbling to the point of humiliating. All these people sharing their opinions about something they have not directly experienced is silly. Religion without psychedelics is a surrogate activity for sheep. Stained glass windows are lovely but becoming the window is only for an elite cast of artists and philosophers. Belief is the end to knowledge. These experiences destroy delusions. Meditating is fine but it’s not this.

@@bryanutility9609 my last experience with mushrooms was traumatic. Never had a bad trip until then. I lost my mind for about 3 hours. I tried to surrender and face it. Embrace it. It didn't help. It was hell. Did I learn something about myself? Yes. Would I do it again? Hell no! It's not my place to interpret other people's experiences on mushrooms but I don't see a drug induced experience as something one can rightfully compare to a sober spiritual experience. When I'm in my right mind and have a spiritual experience I can say...okay that wasn't just a bunch mind altering chemicals that gave me that experience. I had a psychedelic experience not a spiritual experience on mushrooms.

tl;dr: Freudian projection. You are welcome. 😁

i regret to inform you that the container of the redemptive substance is ... blood. in the sex cults it is sp34m, but in the life and death religions, it is blood. you have two options, drink christ blood or drink the grapes of wrath. after christ said about drinking his blood, then people left, the apostles asked why he said that. jesus said the words i speak are spirit. that is why you drink the fruit of the vine, not literal blood. your own personal transformation is real and literal. choose your spirit and your master wisely. may the lord be with you now and forever more.
