Im not here to preach, but I do have thoughts on the subject. I’ll probably add some as time goes on, but what are your thoughts? I see a wide array across the different forums here, and I wonder if open discussion can bring us all any closer to Truth, Love, Beauty, Peace, and everything else our souls desire/require.
Please, speak as generally or as autistically hyper-focused as you want
Ok, I will try to explain the difference:
Ego-death can lead to one of two possible outcomes:
Humility - helping other humans, who also fight their own ego occasionally. Being immune to insults, while trying to correctly see their own problem, so they know that insults don't work, and they might see a helping person instead of an insulting one. Works with very few, but works.
Being one with dirt and tree, which is not correct, imo. Dirt and tree do not have free will, you can't be the same value as them. You can be made from them, but so is the wooden whistle, and the wooden wheel, yet we use them for different purposes.
So our misunderstanding comes from what comes after the ego death. Is it humility? Or being one with everything around you?
I have investigated a lot of cases, where psychedelics lead to "oneness with all", not true humility. Christianity leads to true humility. And you are forbidden from taking any drugs to experience true Christianity. Do you see my point now? Both ways exclude the other from themselves... So only one is correct.
Let's transfer this in effort. How much effort does it take to digest a mushroom, or whatever... in comparison to true Christian ways? What is harder?
Wouldn't the harder thing made the best outcome? Or the easy one can also do it?
That being said, can you share what psychedelics you've used and what was the outcome? I am very interested in this topic, and I want to learn more. And please use as much details as possible, even if you think "I don't have to mention that" - every detail would help me understand more, so please share them!
I can tell you this - i grew up in an atheist family, and wouldn’t have given spirituality - and eventually, what I think of as Christianity but you may not - a second thought in my early adulthood had it not been for my experiences with psychedelics
I’ll give you an actual response when I get a minute to think on one lol
It's ok, I prefer a longer proper reply than a rushed one. I can wait, no problem.
Whatever is your experience, I would like to hear more of it. And if I am wrong about my whole world, then I would appreciate your full details on your position.
I'm here to learn the truth, and it doesn't matter if I don't like the truth... It matters only how much of the truth is facts, and how much is theory.
And I have only a theory on psychedelics... It is based on records of other people's experience and the common pattern, but if you have something ground-breaking, I will always consider that.
Sorry that you grew up in atheist family. My family was vary... slightly Christian. But I grew up as an atheist and mocked atheists along the way. Afterwards I have seen that the evil people are satanists and they hate Jesus, so that led me to believe that Christianity is the way. I read some from the Bible and it shows that's the only prophecy book that exists currently. The only one that's correct. I kept digging and if you want to know the end of my research, I can give you some documentaries, so you can prove to yourself that Christianity is the only way out of this satanic madness.
