I don't understand what you're asking. Any forum you're going to find is on the internet, and is therefore non-local and accessible by anyone. This very forum is based in the US, but I get the impression that most of the people here are outside the US... It's truly a global community here. Good luck finding anything even in the same ballpark.

Yeah. The CIA worked directly with and funded remote viewing for a couple decades, then the project was scrapped in the 90's. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing Look up videos on Russell Targ.

Some people say their opinions as fact. Isn't it interesting how this works?

There is no such distinction. You're going to live your life how you're going to live it, regardless. It was not a choice you made to have a successful life... Ultimately, every life that has ever been lived has been supremely successful

@Wyze negotion and argument are important parts of communication at stage green and below. Negotiations are nonexistent at yellow, because as a systems thinker you automatically take into account everyone's wellbeing. Everyone wins at yellow. Yellow does not seek to manipulate.

Psychedelics aren't for everyone. Accept that. Psychedelics are merely tools. If you're not bringing a high level of preparation and consciousness to the table, don't expect to get high-level insights out of it. Psychedelics will take you straight to enlightenment if you do the research and work.

More people come here to get advice for their problems, so it may seem that way. You're projecting your unsatisfaction with the miniscule and painful short-term results of this path. Stick out, it gets better! This might be a hard pill to swallow, but any awkwardness you feel when looking into someone's eyes is actually coming from you. That has always been the case

@AlphaAbundance Isn't caring for health just love of life?

I have actually seen a lot of scientific articles and videos lately getting closer and closer. The next 20 years will be extremely exciting!

Well said ?

@Aakash I feel you, even my day-to-day normal memory is fading. Sometimes, it's even to the point where I feel like I have a mental condition, lol. From research though, this is pretty common for people on the path. Your previous memory was based on an illusion of the brain, so when you shatter that illlusion, your memory starts to go with it. What you should work towards is becoming conscious of how memory is actually stored in the body. Look up Ryan Cropper on YT.

@AlphaAbundance why the fuck are you starving yourself for 31 days? I know that can't be good for you, and hate to break it to you, but that's not spirituality. Don't torture yourself man... Instead, clean up your diet, and start a meditation and yoga practice. Not saying the path is "comfortable," but the best results are achieved in relative comfort with relatively little time commitment. Work smart, don't hustle your way to spirituality (and malnutrition).

@Anton Rogachevski I didn't say an enlightened person could save them. You're absolutely right. I'm just saying an enlightened person could temporarily raise the consciousness of the room and come out unscathed.

@EvilAngel That's interesting, because when I started learning and applying spiral dynamics in a nonjudgmental way, it was one of the biggest ego destroyers and empathy enhancers ever. It's a tool, so that means it's only as good as the level of Consciousness the user can bring to it. So the question is, are you mature enough to see it in a nonjudgmental way? To not confuse the map for the territory?

This^ I do think that once you become completely purified in the nondual (turquoise), you can raise the consciousness of the room, and that nothing phases you. But yeah, along the path, it is best to avoid these kinds of people as to not drag your spirit down.

@tecladocasio it happens naturally without their immediate knowing or it.

@Eric Tarpall notice what you're doing here.

@Paul92 You're being selective, and not taking this far enough. Even the story in your head that everything is a story is itself a concept and cannot be trusted. I know you've been going through a lot of pain lately, because you've been living in your head. NONE OF THAT was real or necessary, it was completely in your head. Use the wisdom from The Power of Now. All you have is the present moment. This present experience. Drop the fucking stories and live. Enjoy. Love. Absolutely nothing is stopping you except you own Goddamn head. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful movie of life. What you're experiencing now is like if you were watching Planet Earth II and you were lost in your head contemplating the "unreal-ness" of all the animals you saw on screen, not actually watching the show. Really think about that scenario...

@EvilAngel I did, so I get you, but I do not anymore. This completely evaporates when you raise your consciousness. More specifically, try to seriously understand WHY they are like that, then understand that they didn't choose to be that way. Spiral Dynamics REALLY helped me to have compassion for others. Also, try flipping this problem on its head! Start seeing how dealing with unconscious people is a blessing. A test for you to reflect on how far you've come. Step in their shoes and see how your higher vibration can raise theirs. Getting angry at them actually lowers the vibrational energy and leads to a string of negative thoughts and actions for both you and the receiver of that energy. Whether you're conscious of this or not, that's what happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqr98O8QT3M This is not something that can happen overnight. It'll probably take months to truly get to a place where you stop anger and judgment. Because this was a recent thing for me, I occasionally feel anger rising up inside, but I can evaporate it as quickly as it had come.

@Ethan_05 Of course people turn it into an ideology without doing the work. Leo says that in almost every video! Be mindful about it, but don't judge other people or use this as an excuse to not do personal development because the traps are real and potentially dangerous. There's nothing inherently harmful about his content, it is up to the user to use it responsibly. Leo didn't force you to watch it! You click the video, you sit there for hours and soak it in, and it's entirely your personal responsibility after that. It's like if there's an instructional video on how to fix your computer, that video isn't "dangerous" if you end up breaking your computer by doing something stupid while following it. Leo is very careful to remind you of the traps on this path, it's all baked in to the videos. And even if he didn't do that (he didn't have to), it wouldn't be his responsibility for whatever happened to you.

Welcome to the forum! I use it for goals of all kinds, book notes, inspiring quotes, schedules (kind of like a checklist for my eating habits, meditation, yoga, journaling, etc.), collecting and organizing important webpages and online articles, inspiring people, burning questions and my thoughts and info about them, life purpose course, women (organizing my notes on relationships, dating advice, etc.), and just quick notes on anything at all throughout the day (many of these can be inspiration for new sections). I also have sections on ego (probably my biggest and most important section) and nonduality. Those are more advanced though, the rest are highly practical and you could start tomorrow.

Gem from Sam Rami's Spiderman movie

That is not at all evidence for or against the law of attraction. Lol.

God playing

@Shakazulu you don't do the universe, the universe does you!
