Alan Watts, I think put it best: The most important philosophical question you can ever ask is "Who Am I"?
And that's what we are talking about here: seeing yourself, perhaps for the first time. Not societies expectation, the fount of all our neuroses. And undergoing the "ego-dissolution" the opens the door to healing.
If you think about it: what is an addict? Rationally, they wish to cease. But physically, behaviorally cannot. Yet, here is a substance that in essence super-charges the rational mind. Instantly. The transformation is so acute, the old habits seem impossible.
Now imagine your own mind, programmed to optimal turbo-charged rationality. Always picking the perfect action in any environment. Scale that across humanity and the possibilities, as stated, are not just new religions, but new evolutions ;)
- lioeters 5y ago> they wish to cease Reminds me of the phrase cupio dissolvi, "I wish to be dissolved." > But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better. But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupio_dissolvi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupio_dissolvi
