He is talking about the difference between seeing the Ox and taming the Ox. But even aside from all of that, there is still another dimension: development. Full enlightenment does not guarantee development.

Sex scandals exist everywhere. The surprising thing would be if they didn't exist in religious groups, since they are part of everywhere.

Locked because the title is too click-baity

The key is to really know your subject matter. So in fact there is lots of prep, but that prep is years of research behind the scenes until you know the topic like the back of your hand.

@Flowerfaeiry Just start anew. Failure is how you learn your lesson.

@Amadeusz People who get serious results are not going to hanging around on a forum. They will be working on and enjoying their results. If you want to be successful you need a serious business and marketing strategy. Dicking around on YT or a forum is not gonna cut it. You need to get very serious about your work. Stop dicking around and go create something that offers massive value to the world, and do it smartly. Passion is no substitute for poor business strategy.

3 years is more than enough to time to learn that you don't like something. Clearly you ain't passionate about that. You don't need to eat shit for a long time to know you're passionate about some subject. What do you enjoy studying? What kind of projects excite you?

@Anton Rogachevski You're reading too much into. You shouldn't rely on any one source or you will get stuck. Formless Tao is unchanging. Formed Tao is ever-changing. Formless Tao and Formed Tao are identical. But they can also be distinguished. Again, changing vs unchanging is a duality. Tao vs non-Tao is a duality. Mundane vs True Tao is a duality. Tao is ALL. Just... Tao

No

@TheWokestMan If the trips are as profound as you say they are, they should be changing how you see the world, even if you can't be in that peak state all the time. It sounds like you just need to do a lot more contemplation, meditation, yoga, self-inquiry, and basic development work. LSD is a catalyst for all that. Pouring fuel on a fire only works if there is already a fire.

@Mikael89 Your ignorance is getting obnoxious.

@kieranperez I think you're trying to do too much too fast. You gotta keep in mind that the stuff you learn from me is extremely advanced stuff that takes years and decades to put in place. I share a very big picture of your potential, the downside of which is that it can seem impossible to achieve, so far away. This is sort of the curse of a lofty vision. Baby steps man. You are still super young and your whole life is ahead of you. You have plenty of time to create a great life. Focus now on building a vision and cultivating hope. You want to enjoy the process of assembling your life. It's fun. Don't make it a grind.

Here's one Yellow/Turquoise-ish college that I know: https://www.sofia.edu I'm sure you could find others. They will be smaller and non-mainstream.

That's what spiritual practice is for. Your goal is consciousness & awakening.

@Igor82 Excellent first trip. Don't worry, this is just the first step. You don't need to resolve all your answers and get breakthroughs in 1 or 2 trips. You should have the attitude that you will trip 20+ times and in that time you will figure a lot of stuff out and have many breakthroughs. Try to avoid distracting yourself in future trips. Stay away from electronics and note-taking devices. Allow yourself to go fully into the trip. Stop anchoring yourself to your old reality. Do not place a bunch of goals and expectations on a trip. Your #1 goal when tripping should be to go wherever the trip takes you. Drop all expectations or needing it to show you certain things. Deep insights will come organically. Just relax, surrender, and be ready to explore. Metaphysical curiosity is all you really need. When you trip, try not to move around so much. Sit still with eyes open, upright, fully alert -- like a meditation retreat.

No, I don't consider infinite intelligence the Akashic Records. Akashic Records are supposed to be a database of the universe's entire history. Infinite intelligence is devoid of content. It is pure and formless. You will not find any historical memories or events in it. High doses of psychedelics are probably good for accessing the Records. I have yet to verify that. Or it might require some psychic talent. I'm not very psychic.

Personally I have not accessed them. Yet. Then again, I haven't really tried. My focus has been going into other things. I'm still researching the best books on this issue.

Basically self-inquiry.

No higher than 150ug. Even that is really too much for you.

@TheAvatarState Many books have been written about how to access them.

Dude, stop talking about things you do not understand.

@Antonius Great! You might want to start Kriya yoga to strengthen that no-mind-ness and complete the spiritual purification process.

It's real, of course. Well... as real as the hallucination that you were born.

These terms are not to flatter the ego. These terms refer to real stages of consciousness and insights.
