Welcome to the Nexus!

I think a lot of us can relate to things you've said.

If I may offer a constructive criticism, though, I couldnt help noticing you've mentioned things like:

"I have gone as far as one can go down the rabbit hole.",

"I basically solved all the problems of my own ego. "

"I see the underlying motives for every action a person does now, "

Regarding the first one, I dont think there's an end to the rabbit hole. If you think you've reached the end, you're bound for a big surprise soon enough (DMT/ayahuasca tends to do that hyperspacial 'slap' often, I know ive certainly experienced it ). This is certainly not to discount your experience, I bet you have gone very deep, and that this all took a lot of effort, a lot of self-sacrifice and development, but I just suggest being careful with thinking the end has been reached, because at least IME, this is impossible if you're a human being and still alive

As for the second, I dont think any of us ever completely solved all the problems of our ego. I say this because I think the ego is a dynamic module that we have to deal with constantly, it's always changing and adapting to the situation, and it has the tendency to try to 'outgrow' itself. I feel the ego is like our nails, that keeps growing and growing, and we have to regularly trim it. It does have its function, but it will keep growing unsustainably, and once its past a certain size it starts hurting us, and others, and it also becomes more fragile, so we'll need to keep trimming it ocasionally till we die.

So I totally can understand if you feel like youve took some very big steps in your own self-development and search for awareness, but I think you should try to keep your eyes open because the search to keep the ego in balance and be more aware and so on, is a path that lasts our whole lives. Each step you make, while it may solve problems of the past, also opens up to new responsibilities and new difficult choices of a different level.

And as for the third quote, I also agree and have experienced this too, and I do think me (and a lot of people here) become very analytical when looking at others and interacting, its also important to realize that our judgement about others may be lacking (so there may be other motives in their actions we dont see, different contextual/background variables we are missing), or we might be straight out wrong. So its important to let that element of doubt, of skepticism about our own ideas and certainties.

Are you not interested in oral dmt/ayahuasca? You didnt mention that in your posts.

Be well!
