Developing consciousness and getting rid of soykaf that holds you back

This man's site is very unique. He writes about the nature of consciousness in a non spiritual perspective while trying to help people develop their awareness and solve their own issues. It goes into a lot of his original techniques for doing this. If you're wanting to grow your awareness or defeat problems with 'entities' or other psychic soykaf like that then this is worth reading. He has a rambling but clear way of writing. Its worth considering how many of the vivid spiritual experiences people have seem to be complete delusion, how there are so many 'channelers' who aren't necessarily schizotypal but manage to be convinced they are channelling an archangel etc. I'm interested in lains who have had these kinds of experiences and retrospectively they turned out to be just believable illusions. https://www.clarity-of-being.org/healing-self-actualization-safest-quickest.htm quite a /cyb/ site

To be fair, his site contains almost exactly the same conclusions I arrived at over the last few years, through spiritual/psychedelic experience. I suppose for some these things may simply be wisdom acquired through 'common' means. I did my separate shares of LSD and meditation, hoping that the breakthrough would bring me to The Truth. Instead, in both (kinds of) experience it was more of a contextlessness. The LSD experience that put it into perspective goes thus. Initially a restlessness, a feeling that I am set out to find an answer, but not knowing the question. I was certain that I set out with a question, certainly all the years I spent being so upset were accompanied by questions I didn't have answers to. I could see everything around me, clearly, but they were all images without context, completely undifferentiated. A computer vision analogy might give you some perspective, but mind you, it's not a visual problem. I was in my 8*15ft dorm room, and it looked exactly as it does right now (perhaps save for the usual visual tomfoolery at 300 micrograms). This lack of differentiation didn't spare me either, I really struggled to comprehend "I". "Is" is the only conclusion I could really arrive to. That trip didn't change my life overnight, or anything like that. But there was a lot of banal wisdom that I started to understand. To be yourself, to not compare oneself with others, God is everywhere, to love ones neighbour, doing ones Dharma is all one can do, to heal the world with love, soykaf like that. On the practical wisdom side, I really am only left with common sense. It's pretty good, gets you a long way. The data points you're applying common sense to varies across individuals (and within individuals as they learn and forget). But it just works. >I'm interested in lains who have had these kinds of experiences and retrospectively they turned out to be just believable illusions. Sorry, I suppose this is not what you asked for, but it's been over 3 years so I may as well use this as an opportunity to talk about myself.
