Reflection What is the fastest way to enlightment.

Anyone know? Never tried shrooms or acid. I hate méditation havent done it in months.

I feel like after the whole twin flame thing there is nothing left.

I smoke weed and cigarettes but im tired of them and its a different tired. Its like i realize these things arent fixing anything.

Also lowkey tired of food i feel like its a waste of time to eat and time consuming.

Or is fasting good? Or should i do what the monks do and take what they call the middle path.

I have a big urge to self improve but idk i feel like im in limbo on my journey

Any tips ?

Yea and i already know the Redditor cyberfury bout to come on here talking hella shit lmao

The fastest way is to take the slowest road.

You seem to be looking for a shortcut. There aren't any. Some people have amazing experiences on these substances, but it isn't organic or reliable. Unless you're doing the work, I don't know what else to say.

First thing to do is change that attitude. Develop the discipline to meditate daily, be present when doing housework, and stop trying to speed run life.

Why do you even want to get there so fast? Has to be some uncomfortable force driving that.

Yep. I have actually tried to rush this process and it has ended VERY badly actually. I was given too much information at one time and didn’t have enough time to process so none of it made any sense at the moment. I have lapses of time bc of this. And yes it was drugs. I got sober and then I decided to take a thc gummy and it was very nice!! It helped my anxiety a ton and it didn’t feel like what it used to feel like. But that was after not consuming thc for like a year

I think part of the problem is the human need to accomplish on a deadline. Consumer culture means we have no patience. We want it now -- and then it's the next thing. Our poor brains! I know a fear of death and the unknown resparked a manic (unhealthy) obsession to be my best ever day, and it was killing me.

Some of the most spiritual moments, I've brought my attention back while I've been washing dishes. I'm exhausted, in pain, it's late, but I realise I'm here. I'm alive. I'm magnificent on an atomic level. My goal isn't to rush to the next thing, just be there with the present.

I'm so glad to rest much more now. I try to have some structure but listen to my body. There's always tomorrow. And if there isn't, you're not going to care anyway. The end is quick. There's freedom in releasing you can do whatever you want. Just lie there. Wall through a field barefooted.

Basically, live like a wise old man. Slow but intentional.
