[Nomada]

I asked him something.

He answered nothing. Quietly continued his peak-examination of the grass.

Completely blown away I was.

Sounds like your have been blown away! What was your question???

:weedman:

 

[Nomada]

burnt out of my memory it was, for the light of the answer. I can't remember! :shock:

You know? When time suddenly stops, or breaks into nothingness, whatever.

Doesn't matter which question was it.
More yet, you could have asked him anything that it wouldn't have mattered,
you'd still be shattered, consumed.

Sometimes I it is as if nature is whispering something very weird,
as if trees are enlightened.

For a while now I've been following this mystery,
and I am going to shut up right know.

was it the infinite intelligence of the bird that shattered you or was it it's strange comprehensibility of it's language????


peace :weedman:

"Ego death is the realization that people will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to not avoid sounding sufficiently progressive."

"I'm an example of this."

Remember my love: behind the landscape made of dreams, titanic forces may be massing for an attack. Thus, never ever thrust anyone who can't make a ridiculous out of himself.

"I'm an example of this."

When your ego dies, you understand that you are one with all people and Univerce, your ego - your covers, that separate your from your soul, your real you, and when it dies, you become free, you start to see the life how it is in real, you start to feel yourself free, the programs of your life are being destroyed and you stop to be the doll of the system. The Gob in you become to wake up...

you minus everything you are, no prejudices and a blank perception.

ego = I

ego death = i die

 

[Nomada]

Ego is first person singular, personal pronoun/adjective in Latin and Greek.
One point is bound to one direction at any one time.
Multiple points can travel many directions simultaneously, a swarm.
Neither one nor many but both at the same time.
Pantheism is a form of monism.
Attempt tainting the walls with a word's blood.

The moment of realization that you are One with everything around you.

Determinism as Enlightenment

 

[Brugmansia]

I used to search in vain for something that went above life. But it has now penetrated my awareness, that my I, is an independent individual life source with it's seperated constant running consciousness, in where my self can choose it's own direction.

The cutt off from the collective liquid bath, which makes the growth to my own self with individual control possible, is freedom in it's purest form. Nothing has changed, but one needs to witness the process from the very first beginning, to reverse former experienced detention, into convinced freedom.

Life is a temporarly dream, and we living beings are just a few that have been selected out of an infinite darkness. Carrying THAT happening with you, is enlightment.

This image is a wonderful mythic depiction of the ego death experience, Kali (with blue skin like the blue-stain of the psilocybe mushrooms), the destroying mother Goddess and the Goddess of time and change, is on an insane frenzied war dance, she has slaughtered an army of men who's severed heads and body parts she wears around her neck and body. The God Shiva lies on the floor beneath Kali

The severed heads and body parts symbolise the ego, whereas ego normally experiences itself as a continuous entity flowing through time, in ego death it is seen that ego in fact only exists in static time slices, like a series of statues along the time axis each incremnentally different from the previous one (like an animated movie). This separation of the continuous ego into distinct time slices, is Kali slicing apart the ego

the theme of an army of men representing the ego is central to the movie 'Jacob's ladder'

I have experienced ego death sober, on weed, but not on a strong drug. I don't know why...
Probably because i havn't taken enough!!
To me, it is to care not, you lose all self-conciousness, you do whatever you want to.
If you want to talk to a girl, you do.
If you want to ask someone you have never met why they are sad, you do.
If you want to ask someone what they think of life, you do.
You realize everyone is a person, and everyone wants to talk to everyone.
It is odd, because it seems that when you yourself have ego-death, everyone has ego-death...
It maybe because your own ego-death can rub off on others while you are on it...
It has been odd in my experience, but when it happens I talk to all people, I want to know them.
