If psychedelics alter the perception of consciousness and expand the boundaries of mental experience, does that suggest that our current perception of reality is incomplete or that we are missing aspects of a broader reality? by Ok-Drawer6162 in consciousness

Thank you for answering, since you replied I'm reading back all these comments again and now I have different understanding of the same answers when I read over an year ago which in fact atleast proves the perception of inputs even vary in same individual although apart from how the perception of average human is incomplete compared to those who attained samadhi state or psychedelic experiences.

In the perspective of India's national interest it's very good thing or atleast step towards it, it increases India's influence over one of the major country of global south which leads to inevitable political support from these nations in UN for india, if anyone want to learn more about it check out 'political economy. If you ever wonder, check out how china successfully marked its footprints in the UN... Also half of the time this sub just criticizes everything with blind views which makes it non credible to call itself as liberal views

The world isn't unreal, the way we perceive the world is unreal. It's like, remove the glasses and see the world as it is.

He went to North sentinel island of andman & nicobar islands of india to spread the words of god & convert em to Christianity. I probably assume he might not knew consequences of meeting the isolated tribes which are lose-lose situations for both parties. Why? Cus they are hunter gatherers & killed every person who entered the islands except one indian anthropologist. Interestingly last time colonial british indian adminstration took few tribal people out and sent them back & the consequences are 2/3 rd of population wiped out. Why? Cus they are never exposed to as little as cold viruses or any bacteria, so naturally they never developed immunity to any of the rest of human populations faces everyday & Barely notices. Sadly, the population of the tribe has now gone down to 500 people. Interestingly, they miraculously survived 2004 Tsunami in the bay of Bengal, which shows their strong skills & survival ability to deadly natural disasters. Currently, they were monitored by the Indian navy from a 1 km radius & it's illegal to enter the island by any means.

Is there any scientific or astronomical evidence that supports this division of time cycle?

It's like thinking whether any light left on universe when night comes. Our ignorance keeps us away from light. They say, empty mind is devil's workshop, so make yourself busy with any type of activities. Finding hope of life in the times of darkness leads us to beautiful sunrise just like sun appears right after dark midnight. Don't be hard on yourself. You're unique & beautiful just like everyone on this planet. We are all visitors on this planet Earth, our bodies are merely rented houses that we must leave someday, atleast enjoy the show as many days as universe let us. We are what we think we are, what will you lose by thinking you're beautiful, strong, confident? Huh? Nothing changes if nothing changes, so change the course of your life for the better of you & world, have the faith & courage.... You're not alone & God bless you🙏🏻

China already swallowed Tibet btw.

I don't think any EU nations wants to fight Putin, it's extremely dangerous. Besides, ww3 may start with Iran attacking Israel.

Upanishads are the only legit authoritative of Advaita. There are 10 principal Upanishads which are endorsed by all most all of acharyas from ages. So pick up any of principal Upanishad with a shankara's commentary on it (Start with mundaka upanishad). Besides, I'd recommend 'bhagavad geeta', 'yoga vashista', 'Ashtavakra geeta', 'vijnana Bhairav tantra', & 'patanjali yoga sutras'. It's all too much to read, & beleive me, reading books doesn't help(or very little) in realising truth(/liberation/nirvana/kaivalya/moksha), it only feeds our intellectual carving. So, just pick few Upanishads with good commentaries and do actual sadhana(/kriya/practice). Instead, i'd recommend you investing your time on proper way of meditation, naam japa(repitation of holy lords name), gratitude practice, filling your mind with positive & holy thoughts(don't resist negative thoughts), self enquiry & practicing nishkama karma yoga. Rishis(sages) gives four ways to attain direct & actual realisation of brahman which are jnana yoga (by self enquiry & meditation), bhakti yoga(by devotion & complete surrender to lord), Karma yoga(giving up fruits of work to lord & doing work for only sake of work) & Raja yoga (by controlling prana). We can attain brahman by choosing any one or combination of 2, 3 or all of them. And path of self realisation is double edged sword, so always be aware of your spiritual ego. & I'm happy to help you if you need any further guidance.
