I think the universe is trying to tell me something.

Last night at work I read a whole bunch of texts talking about getting rid of the ego, and enlightening yourself. Finding your true self, and becoming one with the universe.
Now, I'm out of drugs, can't find more, and my vidjea game account was hacked. I think the universe wants me to meditate, agreed?

Honestly, I'm with the universe on this one. I've been trying to get into meditating and getting rid of this stupid fucking ego (I truly believe it is the root of our suffering) but I'm so fucking Western. So fucking American, and I fucking hate it. Time to put down the vidjea games for a while.
And yeah, I'm with you on the meditating on drugs part. Its nice to have quiet time with myself and some psychedelics.

Honestly I think the only reason ethnogens are banned in most spiritual practices - is for control reasons.
Meditation works, psychedelics/pot help = Whats the problem?

ego death-totally possible....permanent ego death I am not so sure about unless it involves a coma or death
don't hate yourself...change
as far as enlightenment goes,it seems to be a very broad definition....what are you aiming for?

I agree with you on that one too. You can't lead people like sheep when they can eat some fiber or a few pieces of paper and start thinking for their own. I'm pretty sure Leary had a pretty profound quote about it too.
Ninja edit: I'm aiming to get out of this suffering. I don't want to build myself around other people's opinions of me (what we do now), I want to find my true self. My soul, I want to see into me. I guess I have to stop wanting and start working though, and that's where the lazy American/ego is keeping me. No more ego, you will not win this one.

I would recommend studying some of the bigger texts like the B.Gita and the Tibetan.BOTD, there is a lot to be gained if you filter out the bs. Filtering out the control mechanisms actually teaches one a lot as well, just like any 'problems' in life.
Either way, good luck in your seeking

"It does not require a large eye to see a large mountain. The reason is that, though the eye is small, the soul which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you." ~Meher Baba
Right here, this is what I mean. Osho went on about how the ego thinks it sees, it thinks it is all powerful, but it really isn't. The power is within us. We project our reality, therefore if we can look inside, control ourselves, we have endless possibilities for our reality. The thought of peace is very luring.
Edit: Thank you for the vibes, I really need it after this rough day. Its taken like 24 hours of complete and utter crap to get me to finally move. I can't believe I was so blind. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Personally I do not believe the ego is to be eradicated. I believe there is false ego and real ego, the false ego being an affirmation of seperateness from everything else in existence, an the real ego being complete union.

Well, yes. I see what you're saying, and I'm there with you.

Edit: The only reason I'm still trololololling is because I'm at work, and have to stare at security cameras. Doesn't make well for closed eye meditation at all.

All of time exists all of the time, there is nothing at all, ever. Nature perfects itself in the future, which is now. I invite all demons to enter into me. Demons leap out of the walls and jump into me. So long as there is no reason I do meditate well.

Yeah I take enlightenment and ego-death as poetry, not literal reality. I've had spiritual experiences, like so many others, but don't believe in a destination.
Destinations sell

It sucks constantly going through the cycles of running out of weed and replinishing it & knowing to a degree that you rely on it. Gotta step out of the cycles.

All texts and leaders are replaced with time.
Say it like this, vid-jee-ah, aka, video! 
I believe in a destination, but really that destination is really just the end of this life, after you've had your experiences and you have your wisdom. All songs must have an end, the trick is listening to it from beginning TO end, something I have not been doing.
And stepping out of the weed cycle has been hell. This is my first dry period after months and months of continuous high. I can't imagine having real w/d's though, something that comes with serious opiate use or whatever.

Well to clarify what i meant by destinations, is enlightenment or 'ego-death'. Just that I believe life to be a continual processes, always another step.
Not to argue against believing in one-life existence, I just wanted to clarify my position as my earlier statement was somewhat vague

that right there would be one thing to work on....if something is hell for you,fix it....then again,you don't have to fix anything...nobody is right and nobody is wrong..that is what seems to be the complicated part to accept...you don't necessarily need to "destroy" your ego.even apes develop a sense of self.just develop a better sense of control in your own eyes,a self that is content...I really don't know why I am rambling though,because it is something(that i feel due to experience) that you must learn on your own and cannot necessarily through even the wisest persons words.
"one cannot experience or learn for another."
..either way,I hope you figure out whatever it is you feel you are wanting...or come to the conclusion of what you feel is really going on before time is felt lost.

I believe in the cycle of life, and that there is another one waiting after this one. I believe that the soul will live on, find a new body and sprout a new flower in another time. I just mean THIS life, as most people can't recall their previous lives.
And stepping out of the weed cycle has really been part of the problems. Yes, my body is pissed off over it, but its nothing too major. Just a little discomfort for a while. The real problem has been the mental stress that I've caused myself as well as the physical stress of not chiefing down every few hours. Everything just went wrong today, and its really opened me up.
The universe was probably sending me small signs that I need to change, and I was too blind. It had to give me a total shitstorm for 24 hours for me to even realize what was going on. So American.

Well one technique that helps is to smoke only towards the end of the day, one of my elders told me that in my early toking days. It helps develop a balance, but at this point I smoke when I want and don't feel restricted.
