In search of ego death: psychedelics

Let me tell you what I saw and what I want now:

We have discovered the female Alex Grey, the cosmic entheogenic artist who is a self-proclaimed Vajrayana Buddhist. Her name is Juli Garces. (Juliana Garces Art) The most powerful psychedelic of all is... It is so powerful that after I came back to ordinary consciousness, I started emailing monasteries (viharas) to ordain as a Buddhist nun (bhikkhuni) to be able to become an adept meditator to reach this state free of ego (anatta), full of wisdom and compassion.

Bliss, the absorptions, and the base of boundless consciousness

Ven. Nyanatiloka, Dictionary of Buddhist Terms, edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

Do Buddhist nuns meditate?

What is "Buddhist meditation" really? In fact, it is jhāna (meditation), which is referred to as "absorption" to distinguish it from later stages of developing insight (vipassana, satipatthana, anusati).

Meditative absorption refers eight states of super-consciousness or samadhi. First come the four (fine-) material absorptions. These correspond to exalted planes of the Fine-Material Sphere (Rūpa-Loka jhānas or rūpāvacara-jhānas).

• The only part of the "world" or universe most of us are aware of are our levels or planes of existence within the Sensual Sphere, where humans, lower-ET devas, subhumans (titans, ogres, garudas/kinnaras, nagas, gnomes, ghouls), animals, hungry ghosts, and hellions reside. Above the Sensual Sphere heavens, ET worlds, there are the Fine-Material Sphere worlds or planes of existence. And above these are the Immaterial Sphere worlds.

I get so absorbed in what I'm doing, I just flow.

These absorptions are achieved through the attainment of full (ecstatic-) concentration (appanā, see samādhi), during which there is a temporary but complete suspension of fivefold sense-activity and of the Five Hindrances (nīvarana).

The absorbed state of consciousness, however, is one of full alertness and lucidity.

If I were a nun, I'd meditate the jhanas.

This high degree of stillness, focus, single-pointedness (ekagata), laser-like concentration is generally developed or cultivated (bhāvanā) by the practice of one of the 40 subjects of tranquility meditation (samatha-kammatthāna).

The next four absorptions -- finer, more exalted, more refined, subtle, and sublime) are the four immaterial (arupa) absorptions. These (arūpāyatana) absorptions correspond to planes of the Immaterial Sphere (arūpa-jhāna or arūpāvacara-jhāna).

The text often met with in the sutras runs as follows:

Fine-material absorptions (rupa jhanas)

There was bliss, rapture, focus, lucidity...

(1) "Detached from sensual objects, O meditators, detached from unwholesome states of consciousness, connected with applied (vitakka) and sustained (vicāra) attention, born of detachment (vivekaja), and filled with rapture (pīti, joy, bliss) and happiness (sukha, satisfaction, contentment), one enters the first absorption.

(2) "With the subsiding of applied and sustained attention, and by gaining inner tranquility and unity (coherence, oneness, lucidity, cogency) of mind, one enters into a state free of applied and sustained attention, the second absorption, which is born of stillness (samādhi) and filled with rapture (pīti) and happiness (sukha).

(3) "With the fading of rapture, one dwells in equanimity, mindful, clearly conscious, and one experiences that feeling of which the noble ones say, 'Happy lives the person of equanimity and mindfully attentive mind'; thus, one enters the third absorption.

(4) "Transcending pleasure and pain, and through the disappearance of previous happiness and grief, one enters into a state beyond pleasure and pain, the fourth absorption, which is purified by equanimity (upekkhā) and mindfulness.

Immaterial absorptions (arupa jhanas)

Before and beyond form, there is consciousness.

(5) "Through the overcoming of perceptions of matter, however, and through the vanishing of sense-reactions and non-attention to perceptions of variety (papanca), with the notion, "Boundless is space," one reaches the sphere of boundless space (ākāsānañcāyatana) and abides therein.

• ["By 'perceptions of matter' (rūpa-saññā) are meant the absorptions of the fine-material sphere, as well as those objects themselves" (Vis.M. X.1). "By 'perceptions of sense-reactions' (patigha-saññā) are meant those perceptions that have arisen due to the impact of sense-organs (eye, etc.) and the sense-objects (visible objects, etc.). They are a name for the perception of visible objects, as it is said (Jhāna-Vibhanga): 'What are here the perceptions of sense-reactions? They are the perceptions of visible objects, sounds, etc.' Surely, they do no longer exist even for one who has entered the first absorption, etc., for at such a time the five-sense consciousness is no longer functioning. Nevertheless, this is to be understood as having been said in praise of this immaterial absorption, in order to incite the striving for it" (Vis.M. X.16). "Perceptions of variety (ñānatta-saññā) are the perceptions that arise in various fields, or the various perceptions" (ibid). Hereby, according to Vis.M. X.20, are meant the multiform perceptions outside the absorptions.]

(6) "Through the total overcoming of the sphere of boundless space, and with the notion, 'Boundless is consciousness,' one reaches the sphere of boundless consciousness (viññānañcāyatana) and abides therein. CONTINUED BELOW

ARTIST BIO

Shop - Juliana Garces Art

Juliana Garces, spiritual seeker and visionary artist, does artwork that reflects her deep commitment to raising the collective consciousness.

Her art journey is a continuous exploration of how visual forms can transcend language and open pathways to the infinite (boundless).

Grounded in her daily spiritual practices—meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and deep study of mysticism—her work reflects visions and experiences from realms that words cannot fully describe.

Juliana sees herself as simply a channel for cosmic creativity, doing her best to step aside and let the cosmic visions flow through her.

She doesn’t view the work as her own, but rather as something greater that she’s fortunate to be part of.

By tapping into the infinite space within all of us, she hopes to create pieces that serve as gentle reminders for others to reconnect with their own eternal nature. More

• (7) "Through the total overcoming of the sphere of boundless consciousness, with the notion, 'No-thing is there,' one reaches the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) and abides therein.
• (8) "Through the total overcoming of the sphere of no-thingness, one reaches the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññā-n'asaññāyatana) and abides therein."

"Thus the first absorption is free of five things (the Five Hindrances), and five things are present (the Five Factors of Absorption or jhāna-anga).

Whenever the meditator enters the first absorption, the Five Hindrances vanish:

1. sensual craving
2. ill-will
3. sloth-torpor
4. restlessness-scruples
5. skeptical doubt.

And these [in their place] are present [the Five Factors of Absorption]:

1. applied attention (vitakka)
2. sustained attention (vicāra)
3. rapture (pīti)
4. happiness (sukha)
5. stillness/concentration (samādhi).

In the second absorption, there are present: rapture, happiness, and concentration. In the third: happiness and stillness/concentration. In the fourth: equanimity (upekkhā) and concentration" (The Path of Purification, Vis.M. IV).

Having felt bliss, point me to nirvana!

The four immaterial absorptions (jhanas 5-8) are said to still belong, technically speaking, to the fourth absorption because they possess the same two constituents.

The fourth fine-material absorption is also the base or starting point (pādaka-jhāna) for the attainment of the higher paranormal spiritual powers (abhiññās). More

Ego Death by toad venom? (Bufo DMT)

Buddhist psychedelic artist Alex Grey (WQ) understands this altered state of consciousness!

.

This is more real than ordinary consciousness.

(VICE) Twenty times stronger than DMT: The Spirit Molecule, "Bufo" (5-MeO-DMT), is hiding in the venom of the Sonoran toad -- but it is also synthesized and harms no amphibian whatsoever. Mother Earth and Father Tech have provided it.

The ego is an illusion, so is Ego Death good?

I, the Homunculus, AM what I feel and what I think within MY body and mind.

.

Ego death is a "complete loss of subjective self-identity" [1]. The term is used in various intertwined contexts, with related meanings. Psychologist William James, a 19th-century philosopher, uses the synonymous term "self-surrender."

• 

  Descartes on the body's pineal gland

  [This is the literal meaning of Islam and the Muslim follower's attitude towards the one God Allah, and it is the yogi's merging with "GOD," where or godhead/godhood is the Atman merging or uniting with Brahman, the "ultimate reality" in Hinduism and in different terms in Mahayana Buddhism. And it stands to reason that in Christianity of all kinds, it is the attitude of a soul to what Christians would regard as "God," to be "Christed" or "anointed with Chrism," not figuratively and symbolically in the reenactment of a ritual but in the sense of the pineal gland producing endogenous DMT that floods the system, which is the power of entheogenic substances like amrita, amata, ambrosia and perhaps soma.]

Wow, they hid the truth!

DMT: Toad of Awakening? Bufo Alvarius (Bufo)

Sacred Secret: It happens to pineal glands monthly

Is this why lunar cycles and calendars are important?

Peter goes to Meg's school to bust Bufo fad

Jungian psychology uses the synonymous term psychic death, referring to a fundamental transformation of the psyche ("soul") [2].

In death and rebirth mythology, ego death is a phase of self-surrender and transition [3][4][5][6], as described later by Joseph Campbell in his research on the mythology of the Hero's Journey [3].

It is a recurrent theme in world mythology and is also used as a metaphor in some strands of contemporary Western thinking [6]. More

Native American shamanism: 17 ways

A shaman is one who seeks to have a direct experience of truth rather than an intermediary's.

.

Classic Siberian shaman in trance, Kysyl, Russia

Native American shamans have served as spiritual bridges between [the spirit and human] worlds for thousands of years.

These respected healers and wisdom-keepers maintain harmony between humans, nature, and the spirit realm through sacred rituals and practices. Their ancient methods continue to fascinate modern seekers who recognize the profound connection these traditions have with the natural world.

Vision quests: seeking spiritual direction

The wilderness becomes a classroom during a vision quest. Young tribe members venture alone into nature, fasting for days while praying for spiritual guidance.

The physical hunger opens doorways to visions, dreams, and messages from the spirit world. Animals might appear as guides, or ancestors may share wisdom during this powerful journey.

Upon returning, the seeker often receives a new name, reflecting their spiritual identity. This rite of passage transforms not just the individual but strengthens the entire community.

The insights gained during vision quests provide direction for personal growth and sometimes reveal a healing path or special purpose. More

Science: psychedelics heal mind and body

Eric Ralls (Earth via MSN, 3/8/24; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

• What's Toad talk without Family Guy's explanation?

But what if my "ego" temporarily dies? Ego-death, it sounds too risky. How would I carry on?

Psychedelic compounds secreted by toad skin greatly improve cognitive functioning (Earth)

.

What would Shiva, the Destroyer, do?

A combination of two psychedelic compounds (entheogenic substances) demonstrated significant efficacy in treating a range of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments, in U.S. special operations forces veterans [presumably suffering from severe PTSD due to all of their immoral deception and covert militant activity involving killing and subterfuge].

This novel approach [taking drugs to treat the head and heart] might offer a beacon of hope for many veterans who do not find relief in traditional therapies.

The government tricked me into becoming a killer

Which psychedelic compound was used? The treatment regimen combined two psychedelic drugs.

The first, [Iboga] ibogaine hydrochloride, is sourced from the West African shrub called iboga. The second, [Bufo] 5-MeO-DMT, is a substance secreted from the [Mexican] Colorado River toad.

Both these substances are categorized as Schedule I drugs under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, a classification reserved for drugs with no current accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse [which is a disgusting abuse of the law as no one abuses these entheogens for mere recreational use because they have the tendency to cure addiction as well as giving life-changing trips].

This research, spearheaded by The Ohio State University (osu.edu), discovered not only alleviation in symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [Aha!] but also a noteworthy improvement in cognitive functions related to traumatic brain injury. [Entheogens heal both matters of the heart and body? PTSD is a mental disorder, whereas TBI is physical damage to an organism's brain or cranial contents, such as feeder veins and capillaries.]

The latter finding was especially unexpected and sheds new light on the vast potential of psychedelic treatments.

• The science of psilocybin (magic mushroom entheogen) and its effects on the brain

Unique challenges in treating veterans

I was raped by my C.O. He called it 'friendly fire'

Alan Davis, the lead author and the director of the Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education (CPDRE) at Ohio State's College of Social Work, emphasized the unique challenges faced by special operations forces veterans.

"Their routine exposure to traumatic events often results in a mix of problems including traumatic brain injury, which predisposes them to a plethora of mental health challenges," said Davis.

He noted the most "striking results" were the observed improvements in cognitive functioning linked to brain injuries.

• VIDEO: Psychedelic mushrooms have potential to help Americans overcome numerous ailments: Ashley Troxell (FOX News)

How the study was conducted

Most of the veterans in this study involving psychedelic drugs had been on active duty post the 9/11 tragedy. They sought care for a gamut of issues ranging from memory problems, depression, PTSD to sleep disturbances, fatigue, and anger.

An astounding 86% of these veterans had experienced head injuries, attributing many of their symptoms to these past traumas.

To measure the efficacy [effectiveness] of the treatment, 86 veterans were asked to complete pre-treatment questionnaires that gauged various mental health symptoms.

The treatment protocol involved administering a single oral dose of ibogaine hydrochloride and inhalation doses of 5-MeO-DMT on separate days.

These drug administrations were flanked by preparation and reflection sessions [in consideration of set and setting, which are essential to successful psychedelic experiences].

Therapy results from psychedelic drugs

The results were indeed promising. A month after the treatment, the veterans reported significant improvements in symptoms of PTSD, depression, anger, and insomnia.

Moreover, there was a substantial uptick in their life satisfaction. These benefits remained consistent even at the three- and six-month post-treatment check-ins.

Furthermore, the veterans experienced improvements in disability, post-concussive symptoms, and showcased tremendous growth in psychological flexibility and cognitive function.

The latter, improved cognitive function, piqued Davis's interest. He believes further investigation is needed to discern whether this improvement stems from a reduction in mental health symptoms, biological alterations in the brain's signaling, or a combination of both.

Insightful and mystical experiences reported

Man, it was great. The whole world was peace

Moreover, Davis highlighted the association of psychological flexibility with insightful and mystical experiences induced by psychedelics [which should now be called entheogens, as they are not recreational drugs like LSD but rather shamanic substances inducing life-altering spiritual experiences].

"The higher one's psychological flexibility, the more probable is the reduction or mitigation of one's mental health symptoms," he explained.

Post-treatment feedback also revealed intriguing insights into the veterans' personal experiences. Almost half described their psychedelic experience as the most spiritually significant or psychologically insightful of their lives.

However, a smaller fraction (17.1%) also found it to be the most challenging experience they ever encountered. [Beware the potential for freaking out, panicking, or having a nightmare tour of the dark recesses of the mind and memory banks from this and/or past lives and other dimensions. Set and setting and a good guide are vital elements to include in any treatment.]

To ensure the integrity of their findings, Davis and his team adopted a conservative data analysis approach, accounting for the possibility that non-respondents might not have derived the desired benefits from the treatment.

The positive outcomes of this research emphasize the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapies, particularly for veterans with intricate trauma histories.

This underscores the need to further explore psychedelic therapies in U.S. clinical trials. Notably, Ohio State is already diving deeper into the realm by studying psilocybin-assisted therapy for PTSD treatment among military veterans.

For those keen on delving into the intricate details of this study, it's published in the esteemed American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.
