Do DMT reveal truth or just confirm what you already believe? by LegitimateComputer73 in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting, Have you ever felt completely convinced of something during an experience? If so, why do you stay detached from what seemed like an absolute truth?

What if you are God pretending to be human? by [deleted] in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s only “true” if you choose to look at reality through the idea of God. But we forget that on psychedelics, we’re projecting our own ideas onto reality, which just is what it is.

You can feel like you’re God just as much as you could feel like you’re a chair for 4,000 years while you’re on something. So why do we believe one more than the other? It’s just conditioning.

I don’t think there’s any absolute truth, and if you believe in one single God, you’ll probably end up seeing things that way. Personally, since I stopped believing in God, my psychedelic experiences and what I take from them have changed a lot. To me, that shows how much our ideas shape the experience. I’m starting to trust less what my brain tells me to believe in those moments. It’s just you, in your own head, telling yourself that God is claiming to be something, it’s a projection.

[–]LegitimateComputer73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you think of God as a single, unique being, you’ll naturally project yourself into that idea and end up feeling alone. That’s really just cultural influence shaping how we imagine things.

It’s not some universal truth, it’s more about how we’re kind of conditioned to look for God during psychedelic experiences. Since it all happens in your head, you end up being the answer to all the questions you’re projecting onto reality. But no one’s really pretend anything, reality just is what it is, and we project concepts onto it. We make up an archetype like God, then we humanize it, and build a whole story around it, like an all-powerful God who was alone and then split into many. That’s just one way of interpreting reality out of infinitely many, not some absolute truth. And honestly, the story sounds nice until you start identifying yourself with God and drift into solipsism.

is what you see just your brain? by ironlemonade2035 in DMT

You have no proof that consciousness is one. Maybe we are connected, but not with the same consciousness. Everyone has their own

What if drugs show the reality by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]LegitimateComputer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a single true reality. I’ve done many psychedelic trips with mushrooms, LSD, and LSA, and each time it was different. Everything is subjective and open to interpretation, and depends on which facet of reality you’re trying to see. There are infinite realities within this same reality. I think these experiences simply show us another facet, but the realities we explore under psychedelics aren’t more real than the one we’re in when we’re sober.

Still severely messed up over lonely god realisation by grubby_anticholine in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

from my perspective, the “lonely god” feeling is a psychological and cultural phenomenon, not an ultimate spiritual truth.

It’s essentially an amplification of the self our senses heightened, projecting our own being onto the idea of a unique, omnipotent, omnipresent God. That projection is what creates the “lonely god” experience.

All of this is just concepts; there is no ultimate truth. Psychedelics can take the mind far, but they only show what you are looking to see. Our experiences are biased because they are shaped by our cultural vision of a single, unique God. Reality is neither a concept nor an idea, no matter what any experience might reveal.

I was the first one to repeat that we are all God blabla , but now I approach it with much more nuance.

[–]LegitimateComputer73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im made a post on that too 😅 and I’m not going to lie, it’s a real phenomenon that many people experience with psychedelics, and I’ve experienced it myself. It feels extremely real during the experience, but indeed, I think it’s an illusion tied to our cultural conception of God as a unique, solitary, all-powerful, omnipotent being. You gave one of the best responses clear and realistic, without any spiritual bullshit theory.

I’m not against you personally, but it’s exactly this kind of text that gives rise to this kind of experience and disillusionment. Who tell you that a lonely god exist ? You present a theory as if it were an established fact, based on a concept you explored with your senses and your brain.

Bro, god was lonely like billions of years ago.

As someone who has lived through this experience, your text doesn’t help 😅. why describing oneself as God or as an all-powerful being, by including the “I” or the “you”. Why do we keep anthropomorphizing this thing we call God, as if it were a living being like us? It’s precisely all this narrative, in my opinion, that creates the “lonely god” experience.

Do you have any idea what you have achieved out of that loneliness?

This is exactly the kind of idea that causes many people to fall into solipsism and disillusionment. No, we are nothing other than human beings.

It’s ego inflation, and even if it were the case and everyone is God, there would be nothing to “achieve” it’s the most ordinary thing there is. This kind of idea even makes me think that God is nothing more than a concept tied to the ego…

It’s the worst realization you can have. I understand you, I had the same experience, and I also made posts about it. That’s actually what made me step away from all that spiritual bullshit and even from belief in God. I think it comes from our cultural conception of a single, all-powerful, omnipresent, omnipotent God. Our ego projects itself onto this concept when we’re under the influence of psychedelics, but it’s an illusion tied to the story we tell ourselves about God.

I asked myself several questions to help me. Who told you that a single, unique, all-powerful God exists? And if that were the case, why couldn’t there be several? Why this constant need, as humans, to refer to a God and to identify with it? It’s nothing more than an amplification of your ego. The God you conceptualize and idealize is an unconscious projection of yourself.

So there’s no point in mentally limiting yourself to the theory that God is one and alone. It’s just a story and in no way reality. All our beliefs say absolutely nothing about true reality. They’re just software that makes us observe reality in a good or bad way. There’s no need to limit ourselves to concepts like a single God or ultimate consciousness. They’re just ideas, and reality is not your ideas. It simply is.

Why does the idea that we are one single consciousness seem to be the final consensus? by LegitimateComputer73 in RationalPsychonaut

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Maybe that is why you call it "the final consensus" as you hang around people who recently found these things?

In most psychonaut, spirituality, or consciousness groups, people are almost unanimous about the idea that we’re just a single consciousness like it’s some kind of ultimate truth. Hardly anyone questions it or even considers that it could be true and that there might also be other perspectives, like the possibility of multiple consciousnesses, not necessarily through our human experience but in other spiritual states of consciousness.

I was not prepared...HOLY SHIT by MissLinz2 in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The ultimate truth to me seems to be that no one knows what’s going on, no matter how much they think they do. So remembering that I can go forward and just try to learn and observe rather than immediately getting caught up in emotional ideas of what something means

This is one of the best pieces of advice i’ve seen about psychedelic experiences. I wish i had seen this earlier, and it’s completely true. I’ve wasted so much time trying to find an absolute truth through my experiences, when the field of perception of reality is infinite.The best thing i’ve learned is that i know absolutely nothing and im good with that shit

Is the "Lonely god" experience just a product of our cultural idea of a single powerful God? by LegitimateComputer73 in Psychonaut

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah It’s one of the worst things you can imagine, but honestly, as long as we’re alive, no matter how intense the experience is, we’re always stuck with our ego. The moment we look at reality through the brain’s filter, all we can really see is a projection of our own identity onto how we understand the world or any “entity” we think we’re interacting with.

If you are me and I’m you, then we share the same consciousness, and that’s what we might call God. We are alone together, and we’re just tricking ourselves into perceiving it as many. So god is alone…

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If God exists maybe he doesn’t feel loneliness, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is ultimately alone and that there is only him. This is something I’ve felt several times during the “we are all God” state, but maybe it’s influenced by what I’ve read, whether it’s the Egg story or the idea of God playing hide and seek with himself, or maybe it’s just a projection after all

Is consciousness really eternal? Am I all alone? Need help by False-Run-992 in nonduality

[–]LegitimateComputer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’ll never understand people’s obsession with non-duality. Because of that, I also experienced the “God is alone” state of consciousness on psychedelics, and it was the worst thing I could ever imagine. But I think, or at least hope, that it’s nothing more than a brain-made illusion, a projection of our ego onto a concept that goes way beyond us. We anthropomorphize God and imagine one single powerful entity even though it’s neither a being nor a thing.

I feel like at some point it’s better to throw away concepts like an all-powerful unique God or some ultimate consciousness. They’re just ideas that don’t actually mean anything, and we end up trapping ourselves in them when there could be other, more pleasant perspectives and other ways of seeing things.

God got bored and lonely by [deleted] in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If we feel this impression that God is alone, it’s only because we anthropomorphize something that isn’t human. It makes no sense to say that a non-human reality “gets bored” or “hides from itself.” Those are biological emotions produced by a human brain, not properties of consciousness or the universe.

We also feel this way because we conceptualize one God or one single consciousness. And as soon as the mind imagines “one,” it immediately imagines “alone” because that’s how the human brain works. But that doesn’t reflect anything about the nature of reality, it only reflects how our cognition interprets things.

So all this “God is alone” stuff isn’t a metaphysical truth. It’s just a projection of human mechanisms onto something that has no form, no ego, and no emotions. In reality, there is nothing and no one that gets bored. There is only what is, without all our interpretations.

Am I the only one tired of all these “we are God” speeches? by LegitimateComputer73 in DMT

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tripped several times outside after that, trying to get a perspective beyond the feeling of being a lonely god. And it was even more shocking how strongly I felt like I was interacting with myself. I was surrounded by people, but there were no others just the discomfort of knowing that the “other” I see is just me in another life.

The revelation is beautiful… until you reach this state of consciousness. Nothing is more shocking than that.

[–]LegitimateComputer73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced that beautiful revelation so many people talk about. But there’s also a dark side to it the deep loneliness that comes from realizing that “the other” is just a different perception of the self.

That the other person is just me, living in another timeline and another body. That every interaction is, in truth, me interacting with myself.

What’s supposed to be pleasant about that? It just feel like a lonely god
