@Bill W beautifully said ?

You heard it folks, there's no such thing as insight, specifically in the verbal sense; wisdom, yeah sure, but insight? It's diving back into the dream and creating distinctions based out of GOD/TRUTH/UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. Jesus is insight but his teaching is wisdom. Next time we discuss faith, and how questions reveal no other option...

@zeroISinfinity god has insight and yet we can only share wisdom. You see, insight can both serve as distraction and realization what you seek is what you sew

Yesterday while driving I cut in front of someone, twice, as the lanes merged into one to detour around some construction. They were PISSED and honked relentlessly at me despite the “every other car” rule I decided to follow. There fisteness got my heart beat elevated and a slight strain in my breath but I didn’t let it go to my head. In my eyes this had been necessary, despite this woman flipping me the bird after the fact, yet I could see her pain and anger in my action. There was nothing I could do for her state of mind

@zeroISinfinity I believe in miracles and yet I never existed. What does this make me but nothing/everything. God is big and small, tall and fat ? awake and seemingly sound asleep ? play we must for God we seek

If you cannot see where someone is coming from, best to stay silent and learn to forget all you ever attained to see what may reveal itself in a new light. Yup, just spit on your mirror wiping it clean in the gleam of my own eyes ? youre an equal when it comes to Truth whether you see it or not

Sounds intriguing @zeroISinfinity hehe the beauty is there’s no need to ‘remember’ because what is needed always reveals itself to the divine. It is like forgetting where you grew up, quite unlikely

@zeroISinfinity appreciate the wisdom i speak of the conceptual sense

Experience doesn’t matter to whom? You see, you’re only fooling yourself

@Aakash play the fool and you will always get the expected result. Is this a game of hide and seek?

everything = nothing, yet it gets more profound as you relate to new experiences/points of focus

@Truth Addict how many appearances, perhaps an infinite amount?

Yup. Proper utilization of energy and body function can indeed yield more wakefulness. Consuming less food, higher quality food, body detoxification and tapping into the universal energy will promote some amazing health benefits. I hear that breatharians of different levels sleep roughly 3-4 hours, can go up to a year without food, and become very in-tune with their body

Consumed around 9 pm last night at home (alone - well actually dog as guide -jokes-) - the caramel tasted delish Background: It's been 2-3 years since my first and only shroom trip. It was experienced before any awakenings or exploration of spirituality. Duration: 9 pm - 1:30 am Preparation: no food for 2-3 hours prior, laid out some blankets on the floor in a few different rooms, set up a movie ready to be watched in case things went sour, set out plenty of drinks for hydration, snacks and some fresh cut up fruits. Brought a soccer ball out back, turned some lights on and took the dog im dog-sitting on a walk. When we returned i got comfortable, found some music on my phone, and began doing some yoga and meditation. Not exactly sure when the trip began or when it ended but it took about half an hour before i started feeling lighter and a bit giddy, some nervous laughter. Soon i began to feel more emotions arise and i simply allowed my body to flow with it. Started to do a bunch of nondual energetic therapy on myself by continuously bringing my body back into asymmetry, placing my hands on my stomach, becoming totally vulnerable. My hands were spinning around each other coming together and I was opening up like a flower on the blanket. The dog, Rigby, would come try and lick/play with me every time i laid down, so i kept sending him back to his bed. Thoughts were arising, and every time i they influenced my emotional state i began laughing. Before i knew it i was dancing and moving around the house, while listening to some Terrance McKenna. I ended up in the bathroom spitting and felt like i needed to puke, but once i steered myself away there was no more desire to. Once i looked in the mirror and noticed I was playing with the fear in my body. i had my hands up against my body and i started laughing again and slowly moved my hands back down, fear was a joke i was playing with myself. It was then that i noticed my arms and hands again looked completely foreign, absolutely beautiful. Rigby - Then i was back in my room and falling back on my bed and found a video on instant pineal activation tones/beats. I closed my eyes and enjoyed complete energy being placing my hands on my head and face, then got up, looked in the mirror and started dancing. For the next hour I was just having fun looking into different paintings around the house, going outside to explore, play soccer, noticing the trees, the moon and laughing at my thoughts and the various insights that arose. I was alive baby, almost as if my body had been hijacked and there was a shining of light on the wholeness of being. Eventually i had the urge to go for a walk around the neighborhood, this ended up being just a quick walk around the block as i had spotted a dog walker and didn't want to freak her out being so insane in the membrane. Once i got back inside i realized i hadn't been speaking much because everyone was asleep. I felt my throat and it felt kind of tight and i wanted to let energy through. The music was moving me to sing and dance, so i left the house, headed to a nearby park, i felt so completely free, totally out of body and one with experience. I took off my shoes, ran, danced, sang, and felt completely open/detached, how mysterious and exciting expression can be when there's no one/ego to judge it. Had my shoes in my hands and threw them up in front of me and catching them in midair, noticing action: grab it, thought: catch it, action coming before the thoughts. I returned home around 1-1:30 and noticed i could go to sleep now as the ego was back in awareness, seemingly, and my energy levels had dropped. I snacked on fruit much of the trip and ended up eating a slice of pizza before bed. Biggest insights: Im an energy being part of Oneness (or rather just IT), I control my reality, fear is simply me running from/avoiding myself, expressing myself so emotionally made me feel so feminine but my masculine energy arose in assertiveness, however, it's all just energy, pain is an illusion/a sensation and im such a joker but also a healer, leader, lover, and literally everything else i see I realize how big of a joke trying to describe a trip that reveals the magic of reality because i give it the meaning.... I don’t have the words to express the realizations that hit me so I’ll just write them down as they configure Connection and curiosity is the key to life purpose and creativity I released many energy blockages, and the power of energy was revealed to me: perhaps i may become some sort of "energy healer", so i'd like to pick up some sort of practice related to this, please share if you know of any Mushrooms are so amazing, i could see things as they were while simultaneously seeing them how they could be manipulated life is so much simpler than we like to make it, going inward shines truth on the endless experience of expansion Desire has become as weak as fear, emotions have left the building, a shift from scarcity to abundance where expansion is inevitable and surprisingly beautiful Thanks if you read the whole thing, it's not put together too well but i just wanted to get it over with, here's a picture of my freakiness during the trip

@Manjushri our bodies build up tolerance to caffeine in no time at all. Continue with a coffee every few days, you may notice it becomes less and less noticeably energizing. Any kind of dependency will yield a tolerance effect. I do like the shift in perspective to thinking about using coffee as a booster, and letting go of that perspective in which it becomes an enemy, a fear, or an overthought about stimulant. Even addiction can be seen as a clue there are unmet needs or fears to be faced in order to feel and be content. What i've found is the more in tune and mindful with the body, the less concern about substance abuse. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Cravings are usually a sign of unmet (emotional) needs/fears.

That sounds amazing, thanks for sharing! Im still integrating my trip a few days ago, I’ve also gained a deeper understanding of boundaries and creation in general

@TheAvatarState wow excellent answer. Hey, your ignorance is showing

If lions can become a vegan then how come vegans can’t become a lion ? ?

Proud “to be” Be proud, your experience was legendary ? allow it to be the place life shines forth

Ain’t that the truth. “My momma always said, life’s like a box of chocolates” “never know what you’re gonna get” I could see you skipping hand in hand through the forest with magical shrooms living breathing writing your very own fairy tail

@Nahm amen. Thanks for that “do you see what ? see”

This may not be in the right section, but something I realized in my last trip is my normal mode of operation/expression is so very constricted. I am unable to speak or trust my own words, understanding and it seems to come from an inability to allow, to accept what is, who I am To speak one’s truth even if it might offend another because at the end of the day there’s always more growth to be had even with the risk of acting like a foool. Anyone care to share their thoughts and wisdom on this subject? sharing this breath of fresh air for anyone interested, as it promotes CHOICE to be and express who you truly are

I have a feeling it’s about changed meaning/response specifically to emotion/feeling, changing programming and adapting to the new knowing to play or fold/change our hand of thoughts trusting experience needs no thought ————————- this was my story 6 years ago, yes I was a little bitch, gotta own that shit before you are able to choose another version, or better yet, remain like water

Yes I think I understand my friend, the trip lasted only 4-4.5 hours and didn’t have a clear beginning or end...is this common? My first trip was like 6-8 hours of hell, of course, this was not in the same state of mind or level of awareness, but I am curious

@Nahm interesting thanks mate ?
