You´re not being honest in that and you know it.

Trust your gut and heart when it comes when doing psychedelics. Forget about using "reasoning" in this kind of things. Sometimes working on more "down to hearth" stuff is the correct thing, yet other times going towards more profound and trascendence approaches are the best to actually get "things moving" in everything else. There´s no correct answer, I can´t tell to you what you should do. You should really listen to yourself. What does your intuition tells you?

VeganAwake my man ?? Nice video

I watched that, but never convinced me. I'm still considering solipsism, if not accurately, to be a very close thing to what the Truth is

Well, I´m literally having WORSE WD effects from caffeine that from Kratom. There´s no way Kratom can be compared with benzos or alcohol wd. I used it daily for over 5 months and one day stopped for 2 weeks to take a tolerance break, well the WD was noticeable lighter than the one I´m having from coffee. So there´s that. At the 4 day I was totally Ok in energy levels. I am at 6 day of coffee and I´m still wasted. As I said Kratom shows plenty of "benefits" like coffee does: Energy boost, mood boost, depression and anxiety relief, immunity boost...etc. Until the know the only bad thing proven from Kratom is constipation. Which gets more or less solved with a more high-fiber diet , magnesium and more water. See, the thing is not the physical harm. As I said caffeine or even Kratom could be healthy for you, I´m not debating the possible physical benefits of caffeine but what studies can´t show how you can: - Become lazy - Become comfortable with your life - Use a substance to avoid facing the real issues of your depression, lethargy or lack of concentration. - Lose touch with your inner desired and your true motivation that drives you. If I have a shitty job, and I do caffine, I can make the work. If I stop caffeine, I might stop being motivated so I´ll just think that coffee is a great thing that makes productity easier. But another perspective could be that a sober perspective give me a clear view of what I really like. But most people are so disconnected they are afraid of this. This are real dangers! But since they are long-term, nobody really talks about them. Yeah, welcome to drugs and the world of "making things easier". See, it´s very easy to show the benefits but is not so much this kind of cons. This kind of cons are sneaky, society must be at minimum level of awareness to actually take into account this cons. This approach is very hard to find into studies, (nor I believe are the goals of them tbh)

exercise and reading

What is currently your practice? The benefits of the practice itself should be enough to "motivate" you to keep going. If not you either not practicing enough or not the right things

But is it really the same Awakening and enlightenment? If after Awakening you still have to work on yourself hard to become less ego-centric (which is from where all neuroticism arises) and more God-like, and enlightenment is the definition of being in an state of God-like, then wouldn't be really enlightenment the actual destination everybody is going towards by doing this work? After all when you are doing self-actualization all you are doing is removing the delusion and confusion in your psyche about certain aspects of yourself. An honest mind would never need self-actualization. Isn't self-actualization just truth discovering but on the personal level? For me it feels that way.

Or just you observing that your behaviour produces suffering in your life, so you want to change. Hasn't be motivated by society always

No, you don't need an anxiety or fear to be motivated to sort out a problem. Do you think engineers need to be anxious and fearful they going to be fired in order to come up with a solution each day for the problem they're trying to solve? It's actually counterintuitive. Stress impacts the hability cognitive activity and intelligence, creativity...etc. It's has even proven that anxiety and fear impacts deeply negatively EVEN in physical "fight or flight" danger situations like fighting someone or like a dog chasing you. You clearly haven't fight anyone. If you ever have fight anyone, you will see that if you don't have "control" over your body primal/lymbic response, you pretty much will lose the fight, because the body gets so activated that it is counter-productive. That response of the body is actually a "bitch" even in kind of immediate danger situations. The first thing a good fighter master's is actually being chill and thinking calm, if you get lost in the limbic mind you will make a mess our of yourself.

@Meta-Man Wow, I'm taking a look at that blog and it's a gold mine! Saving to favourites... ?

Here's another thing you can't never prove: Can you prove that the rock which you see by the river is still existing when you are at home?

@outlandish It's very different doing studies analyzing the benefits of a plant, and another thing is to do a real analyzing of the whole spectrum. Kratom is also a perfect example of this. Kratom has been showed to help in depression, anxiety, mood boost, skyrocket immunity in the body...etc yet I would find it very naive to use those benefits as an argument for Kratom being healthy. Those studies doesn't show how the negatives, which can be sneaky to discover especially in much of today's society which is highly ignorant of the potencial of their bodies. The main issue here is the current society is such at a low level of connection and understanding to the body that even some addictions are considered good. Ime, the word "healthy" along with "dependence" doesn't make sense. Yet this is literally what it is being encouraged when studies try to say that it can be beneficial to have consume an addictive substance on a daily manner.

I know, but I am already 5 days in so I think I'm going to quit it already. Before I reduced to 1 coffee a day, I tried to do one each x days but I would be craving it the rest of the days so I would go back to drink it daily. God damn motherfuc***. 3 moths? I hope mine won't be that bad I was just doing 1-2 a day I expect my wd will last as yours.

No, the survival function is just a mechanism, is not your identity. The problem is identifying with the body and thoughts. If you identify obviously you will fall "victim" of the fear when the body and mind wants to avoid something to stay in homeostasis/safety. Being consciouss is not a theory, is a state. If I've been able to be more happy and relaxed this last months, is because I raised my state. So when thoughts of fear and or anxiety and sensations in the body arised, instead of going along with them, I have been able to surrender to them a little bit more because deep down I wasn't that sure anymore I was this body anymore. This won't work if it's a belief or a theory, you must be conscious in that moment that you are NOT any object! Basically it's as "simple" as raising your state high enough you know you are not your sensations or thoughts. Of course I can't guarantee you if that in a precise moment of your life when fear arises you will be conscious enough or you will be lost in identity. I guess enlightenment is about that. Stabilizing that conscioussness so you don't forget who you are.

Surrender to what the thought about that fear tells you. If the thought "sells you" the story that that thing you are going to do means death (I agree 100% with @Meta-Man here, if you are consciouss enough when you are feeling fear or anxiety you WILL realize that the thought is literally threatening you with DEATH). Basically surrender and be Ok with you dying, then the thought won´t be able to prevent you of doing whatever you want to want to do, because you already have accepted the worst scenario possible. And yes, psychedelics can help a lot with this. But of course it will be as hard as doing it in normal life, the difference is in a psychedelic you won´t be able to avoid it. That´s why it´s they are so effective.

Self-help is actually realizing that you are good as you are. But it is very ironic, because is this that actually lets you change. Ironically, once you accept your "faults" they start to dissapear or trascend them. Because the rejection of them was what was making them "bad" or a problem. I like to see that the faults are just a message waiting to be understood and seeing.

I imagine they are one of the best source of fats. At the same time they don't have much sugars for being a fruit. I would say it's 9/10 food

Thanks bro that will motivate me this fatigued lethargic days for sure

How much cal would you say you eat a day?

I am untouchable, ever lasting, pure potential, eternal nothing, absolutely free, completely undefined, infinitely fluid, Conscioussness. Wherever I see I see myself, yet I am not here at all. I am You, playing tricks with myself

No, you can´t. Unless you refer to intuition. But intuition is not an emotion.

It is good. No doubt. I had reached level of consicousness for some seconds during some kriyas that I thought they were possible only on psychedelics. Ime, Here are the most powerful Kriyas I´ve discovered: http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya Pituitary Gland Series.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya Foundation for Infinity.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya for Elevation.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya for flexibility and the spine fp.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya Nabhi Kriya for Prana-Apana.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya Electromagnetic Field and Heart Center fp.htm This last three are shorter, and I reccomend it do them as a warm up for meditation: http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya nabhi kriya english.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya for strengthening the aura.htm http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya for waking up.htm DO This one always after you finish meditation: http://www.pinklotus.org/- KY Kriya for disease resistance and heart helper.htm You can explore pretty much all of Kundalini Series here: http://www.pinklotus.org/- Kundalini Yoga kriyas english.htm But those ones above ime are has proven the most effective after trying all sorts after 1 month and a half of 3 hours daily of Kundalini. It is a hell of difference when you start vs when you really master the exercises. So you might want to practice first and master some really well before incorporating them in your retreat. If not you are just going to get more tired and frustrated. Master some until you can do them effortlessly.

I Know I respect a lot the intensity of psychedelics and I don't know how my ego might be willing to surrender but I feel I am definitely reaching a ceiling with sober methods. I feel the fear of insanity is the one I'm more scared .

I'm interested in this. I feel right now in my life I am close to have a breakthrough, probably this year, I don't know if with psychedelics or not but but I can feel it, I feel i am close to a total realization, I know it's going to happen sooner or later. What do I need to know exactly so I can surrender better?
