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?

Thats why you are still not gone by now, man.. gotta sit with your sit straight.? @Clarky000 Because if not you will probably fall asleep.

Of course not under the eyes of a human. Under the eyes of a human that child represents cruelty and injustice. Represents that something is "inherently" bad about the world. But notice that is only under the glasses of a human mind, which NEEDS to be reality a certain way. I haven't yet realized this love Leo talks about, but I think this what is aboit. Unconditional love is the same as total free acceptance of Oneself.

I live a in flat that has a LOT of luminosity if you pull up the blinds of the windows. My roommate loves to have the blinds up because he loves so much light in the home, but I actually find it stressing . Particularly in the mornings and until 19:00-20:00PM, I like to be at home with blinds down, and low brightness. I feel that when there's so much brightness coming from outside it stresses my limbic system and doesn't let me relax and disconnect of the outside world. Idk, it feels the body truly needs a time when it can disconnect of the outside world, and in my opinion that is when you are at home. At night I don't mind to have the windows open btw, since there's no brightness at that time also lol I wanted to ask this to see if this is a real thing or it is just an OCD I have about lightness (or it's just my retina is very sensitive to light)

@Aaron p You should try to alternate between meditation or Kriya Yoga with some Kundalini Yoga. In Kundalini Yoga there are plenty of kriyas which move the body enough, and trust me I have tried this kriyas myself and they can be as powerful as Pranayamas. At this point meditation for me is far from being as powerful as some kriyas of Kundalini Yoga. (Pranayamas too, but for that you have Kriya Yoga I guess). But of course you can't be doing yoga for 6 hours because it's inviable for the body so meditation is still important

LOL

You lately always just say "just take a Psychedelic" like everybody is ready to get his paradigm shattered in a couple of hours LOL

THAT is You. That´s why it matters.
