  1. thank you sooo much for this post!!! the last 4-5 months ive been getting the most painful migraines. they last about 18 hours, and i get them 1-2x a week. and naps and sleep wont heal them. You did forget one key supplement which is magnesium. Ive been taking magnesium glycinate (its the chelated form and so the most highly absorbable form) for the last month (with no other diet change) and i got a migraine only once every 2 weeks and it lasts much less time, about 4-6hours. I never thought about the liver connection. A great book to read is Andreaz Moritz gallbladder+liver cleanse, not sure if OP is talking about him. Ill look into adding liver supporting herbs.

    DAY 5: meditation done at the beach. Tis Good DAY 6:meditation done. i have found that in each session i have maybe 2-3 periods of concentration that last a few seconds then disappear. Today during transition into the meditation object (in the method im doin you first become aware of all sounds/sensations/thoughts, then you move onto only sensations of the body, then breath, then breath at the nose), when i was in the stage for sensations only in body, i got a period where even though there were so many noises outside of myself, i was hyper aware of only my body. I am nearing the end of Book of not-knowing, im on chapter 19 of 26. Currently finished "beyond Belief' chapter and im pondering on getting a jounral to write in (physical of course) to take a few minutes every day to analyze and deconstruct all the beliefs i have. I notice that the more i look at things for-itself rather than for-myself im at more peace. I started thinking that all the limiting beliefs i have, if im able to deconstruct them to see what they really are (illusions) how much different my thinking would be. Its gonna be hard tackling the "good" beliefs. Also getting more pain in the eyes when im looking at screens

    its laughable at how disconnected we are from nature. Yet we are nature. Were trying to escape the inescapable
  5. @Paul92 first master meditation. Trying to make sense of this all just with your current level of understanding will waste precious time. Do contemplate it, but do it as a side job to raising your consciousness.
  6. haha ok ill admit i didnt do it the first time but i did it now, and nothing, there is no reflection ahaha i feel dumb @Esoteric <3
  7. I assume someone already asked this but i cant find it through the search box (which usually doesnt work well with searches) In a perspective of no-self, you have no self to sustain so no drive for survival. How does one survive when you have no drive for survival? I remember reading that a certain Samadhi state exists where the person is in total non duality (basically they're enlightened) but can still live without going into mahasamadhi. In Ralston's book he says "strange as it may sound, "being" and life can take place without a self or the need to survive".
  8. thanks i'll look into it. Im actaully on a part in ralston's book toward the end about 6 principles to live by (like radical honesty, giving up value, etc) and it sounds really similar to what ive seen on google images of the eightfold path ha ive had this with drawing a long time ago, but my mind nowadays is so preoccupied with thoughts that even zoning out in art is a rarity the color, and 3Dness would be missing. Idk about my hand im looking at it, contemplation im slowly getting to yea thats what i starting thinking when trying to get an answer. Maybe im picking too much into details that just take care of themselves.

    DAY 4: meditation 20 min done. Once my mind wanders i am able to pull it back to the breath in a millisecond. But how fast i can turn attention back to the breath is how fast it becomes distracted by thought. Today i watched a documentary on trees called "the Call of the forest...the forgotten wisdom of trees". The past few days i have been getting crazy tree recommendations when im on the internet. Videos from the 434 channel, then i see several books on tree wisdom recommended, ted-ex documentaries, and now i find today this as i browse the mercola website. Yesterday i drew a tree.., i feel like it just called to me. ANother thing i learned was that i need to trust the process. I am a person whos frustrated with my art skills, i get angry when i have a picture in my mind or see something and im not able to draw it too look "good". I began drawing the tree and was soo close to giving up as per usual but decided to finish it. WHen i did it turned to look beautiful.

    @lmfao by bein' you
  11. that book is one of the top on my to-read list, i discovered it from a blog post yuval noah harari made, basically him recommending it. Watch the interview of the author, michael pollan, with joe rogan. Good stuff
  12. you said no self is reality but nonduality/mahasamadhi arent. Is that because they are names for a particular idea whereas no self is just the absence of the viel self gives to everything it sees? im not sure, but differently than i do No self does not equal god self? i thought they were the same

    DAY 2: mind was cluttered with thoughts, barely got any concentration time but thats probably because i did the session right after my parents were being super annoying so lesson is to not do meditation after im agitated DAY 3: went to sleep kind early (10:30pm) and woke up kinda early (7:40am). Immediatley after waking up i went to meditate and that will probably be my plan from now on since my mind is most refreshed and cleared. The session went really well and im proud of my self for being pretty dilligent through it. Like every time i got distracted i would bring my attention to the breath, even when distractions are emotionally heated (like when my neighbor started doing something with a car loudly). I became aware of the moment the meditation finished i turned "off" my meditaion brain and turned "on" my "me" brain. Like op! meditation done, now i can finally be myself again. But i need to bring its lessons through every waking moment.
  14. So you dont in your perspective? Why are their enlightened masters claiming you can?
  15. makes me so happy to see advancement in psychedelic research. The mere fact that two cities iin US legalized them is an amazing step forward

    @Colin im glad you do thank you for the song, i will check it out. DAY ONE: The mind illuminated--> STAGE ONE: The goal of stage one is very simple and hard at the same time. Its to establish a disciplined and DILIGENT practice. we all know about disciplined practice, which means doing it every single day, but not so much of us know about diligent, which is too give it all you got during the meditation. To follow your instructions as best as you can and to not waste time planning or daydreaming. I did lots of this on the last meditation challenge i gave myself. First meditation day is completed, 20 minutes. The method listed in the book (1. preparation 2. four step process to ease into focus 3. actual focus) helped immensely. The amount of mindwandering i had compared to other times i did meditation was a night and day difference. My mind felt refreshed afterwards and my mood was good. One image shown in the book was a bucket being filled with water, but the bucket had holes on the bottom so the water leaked out. The author explained that this is what our spiritual journey will be like if we only concentrate on being present during our set meditation time during the day. If we dont bring mindfulness throughout our daily lives, we might as well not meditate at all. Interesting thought.
  17. im soo happy to see a thread here dedicated to her info, i really believe shes upgrading consciousness on a global level
  18. this makes a lot of sense Heres a good video:
  19. are you talking about SantataGamana one? i havent read it. If it is, then i find it ironic that he bashed the other Kriya books for being too complex and yet here we are haha
  20. These are the ones i came up so far, feel free to add ones you found, and discuss these: Facing your Fear-> goes against all of our body's mechanisms for safety and survival, literally the opposite of survival Suicide-> self explanatory the ACT of meditation, not the habit-> during the act itself of meditating, basically were overriding our survival instincts by letting go of thoughts we were meant to cling onto, letting go of emotions, in the case of strong determination sits you resist the urges to adjust your posture, move your limbs slightly, etc. This is just referring to pure meditation, because sometimes we do get caught up in monkey mind, sometimes we to unconsciously adjust our back, etc, but were not meditating during that instant. The habit of mediation can be seen as survival since we see it as a self improvement method or as a way to enlightenment, which is to seek the moment when suffering stops. Unconditional Love-> I intellectually know that this isnt survival since to have unconditional love you stop caring what will happen but i dont fully understand it since i havent experienced it yet
  21. santatadude just came out with a new book on samadhi and mahasamadhi woohoo https://realyoga.info/samadhi-eden/
  22. will it be useful if one's grasp on politics is very weak? i only know generalizations like left is open/future minded/eco/gay rights/pro abortion and right is basically the opposite
  23. im having difficulty in spotting exactly whats not survival, except for pure awareness, im pretty sure awareness not directed towards anything is not survival.
  24. whaaaat thats some fast reading its takes me few hours to barely get to 40-50, depending how heavy the material is
  25. @tecladocasio @abrakamowse im reading it right now and its blowing my mind and im not even half way through yet!! recommend so far for sure
