That’s one interpretation of it, yes. However, the experience will vary for each individual with some similarities based on their thought paradigm.
Yes, this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely and so freaking spot on.
For the unique nature of each and every human being, always has pertinent, yet personalized aspects of conceptualizing the unfolding dreamscape of the individualized self, which subjectively interprets the partial expression of the unbound nature of the universal soul. What else can we do?
But all of this material existence, essentially appears spontaneously within the mind of each self, which creates the universe with every idea and action. As Siddhartha Gautama, Lord Buddha the Enlightened One said, "As you think, so you become."
If 100 people are watching a sunset, observing a theatrical performance or hearing a musical concert, it's clear that the subjectivity each individual perceives "reality" through is the lens of an isolated vantage point. One of an endless possibility.
This then, shapes the contained mindset and is wholly relative to the circumstances of each paradigmatic vista and viewpoint connected to each and every person, animal, plant or mineral (for that matter, any other sentient life form, be it liquid, gas, ether or light itself). We are what we experience, after all. Yes... or am I projecting my own fragile notions of the leap into the grand immersion?
Still, when a powerful catalyst shatters the perceptual view... all of us share the identical dissociation from the known, the ordinary parameters of oneself, all boundaries vanish as this empties us of our familiar comfort zone and we are essentially, flung end-over-end into the immeasurable expanse of the Clear Light of The Void, the very deepest core of oneself... the effulgent state of Infinite Being.
All we are able to recall of such an ineffible interphase, is but a fraction of the total experience and this is only caught within the remembrance, entering and exiting the nondual state. But I feel that we DO indeed remember something significant and transformative, of immense value.
I would still say that other entheogens have quite a bit of potential for learning in different ways.
Agreed. Since I've yet to know directly, all I can imagine is what little can be conveyed through the mortal linguistics shared by our wonderful fellows. But from all descriptives, the "God Molecule" dynamically removes all membranes of separation and so dissolves all patterns of familiarity... in favor of the sheer transcendence into the unbroken totality of the Indivisible.
It seems to me at least that while this seems like the pinnacle of ego death, it transcends so much of the self that it can be difficult to make significant life changes unless lower doses are used and some serious thought and effort is put into integration.
I continue to work more with other medicines besides 5-MeO-DMT because they tend to speak more directly to the whole self, not just the transcended self.
I can see why you say so. What can be integrated by self obliteration? Well, I feel there is much that can be interfused and interconnected to our relative mortal existence. And yes dat, less nondual medicines open portals to paths, teachings valuable for the pilgrim, reborn within a personal journey and providing a pathway through this life we experience. Maybe one which can be more easily fused to our day-to-day world? Perhaps many other entheogens give our mind's a better chance to remember the shift in conscious-awareness, the eclipsing which silences thought and intention? You are wise in this matter. My, my, my... such heady ideas but just imaginary ideas, non the less. Deep bow and much loving respect,
HumbleVoyager. You rock, amigo!
