Nice post....but remember to not even come to conclusions about "realization of the eternal recurrence is the final end point of self-realization" any conclusion your mind comes to is your mind trying to "get it" which it never can.

I really like "We die to remember what we live to forget; life is a dream that death wakes us from" beautifully true!!!

I feel compelled to recommend self enquiry to you, when you are fully assured your there, its the final extinction of the one who thinks hes got 'there'.

Now you have realized get rid of the one who has realized! :grin:

Loving to read these posts...

While you are basking in your afterglow, try putting the feeling of love into all that you do and to everyone (including yourself) around you. This will bring you more into the realm of experiencing enlightenment rather than intellectualizing it which has its moments of awe, but pales in comparison to practicing the art of staying in love with life.

No word play here.

However, i believe sphongle was right, Nothing Lasts, but nothing is lost. You will transform into something else.

Give it time. Applied learning is hard, it's the difference between those who claim to know and those who do.

Who transforms into what?

Take a look & see if you actually transform into anything?

Who are you?

Well said!
As you develop and change, psychedelics will always show you the next horizon, but we forget that while we are looking at the next horizon, we are AT the horizon that we viewed the last time we looked for it! When we realize that "This Is It" (Watts), we're above the Ouroboric serpent who has caught his own tail, and we're watching and laughing with delight. :laugh:

Hard to laugh with a tail in your mouth.

Actually I am usually moaning with a piece of tail in my mouth.

Am I still on topic?

I think Markos is on more of a voyeuristic bent.
