each enlightenment experience increases your base mana by 200 points, and the more mana the more powerful spells you will be able to cast

And by faux-awakening, I mean I deluded myself into thinking I tapped into a forbidden hidden truth, and it went very dark and I am still trembling about it. I normally keep these things to myself, but I have done lsd, shrooms and other psychedelics several times in the past and all of them have been very positive and uplifting, to the point where I thought I as immune to bad trips. Today was like any normal Sunday for me, smoking and chilling in my house listening to instrumental music and getting into the vibe. I dont usually smoke a lot because I hate the sensation of smoke going into my throat, so I took two big hits and laid down in my couch thinking about reality, art and consciousness. All was doing well. I got to a point where I was thinking about humanity's suffering, about how life itself is an inconceivable precious miracle and how we as a species are desecrating our beautiful home and disrespecting what creation has gifted us. I had an insight about how all life in earth has a soul, and it was angry at us. I had insights about how this "soul god" is now actively working against us, through all sorts of shit; climate change, virus, cancer, bacteria, etc... as an attempt to remove the plague that we are. It went very dark from here, I deluded myself into thinking this is the BIG epiphany, the answer to the forbidden mystery of our reality, my heart was pounding so fast, I felt like I saw something that was not meant to be seen. I thought I fucked up. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I was going to die at that moment. I kept feeling overwhelmed by this false epiphany.. "I should have not looked, I should have not been curious, now I there is no going back, I cant unsee the truth". I was starting to go insane, my heart was pounding faster and faster, I was going to die for peeking into the truth, we fucked up, I fucked up. Our planet's soul is rejecting us. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack for real, the physical pain was overwhelming. I removed my clothes off and ran to the shower and took a cold bath. "This is it.. this is how I die" I kept thinking to myself. "I was going to die for finding out the truth". I was begging for a second chance. But I didnt die. I layed in bed and waited for my heart beat to normalize. The fake-epiphany didn't go away, I couldn't ignore the truth which I unveiled moments earlier, which made my heart race like crazy again in two subsequent waves which also felt like I was going to have a fatal-heart attack. These hell lasted for 1-2 hours. Its been hours since and I am feeling okay now, what a horrible trip... now, I certainly dont believe any of that was "truth", but it felt like it in the moment, which is fucking scary, I thought I was much better than that.

Like everyone else is saying, what is "right" and what is "wrong" are just silly ideas made up by men. Would any of your statements hold true if you were a manta-ray living in the ocean?

Thanks for your info, feeling much more calmer now. I have had ego dissolutions before (one on 5-meo-dmt and one on lsd), but the dissolution came in naturally and without friction, there were no negative emotions, just peace and nothingness, and plain awareness of it. So yeah, yesterday took me by surprise. I am glad it happened tho, I needed this scare.

Yes weed, should have clarified. Thing is, this has never happened to me before. If it was just a matter of the mind, I wouldn't have freaked out because I am a very calm individual and I love the abstract realm of awareness, it was my heart beating like thunder that made me panic x50, never have I felt such dread and scare in my entire life.

RIGHT? More people need to listen to them

I feel like most people on the path to enlightenment are seeking the truth to achieve one main goal: end suffering. I respect that, happiness feels awesome, but, my main drive has always been understanding the nature of reality and consciousness, for curiosity's sake. Not just a mundane "i wonder if it will rain today" curiosity, but this big thing inside of me what wishes to solve the big mystery. If the path leads me to happiness, cool, its a welcome bonus. If understanding the truth means sacrificing my happiness, then by all means I am willing. I see no higher goal or price, and I have learned to embrace sadness as one of the many beautiful colors that paint my life. I've had many fascinating spiritual experiences with psychedelics, ranging from movie-like fantasy realms to black void nothingness, I keep getting insights every day, big or small, but each day feels like a step forward towards the endless path to truth.

Why does humanity's suffering outweighs its happiness and well-being? Wouldn't a 50-50% make more sense in this "perfect reality" we live in?

Its like the 5th time calls video games on a negative note. I love playing videogames, its how I like spending my time, not just any games tho, I dislike most multiplayer games, I mostly stick to immersive games with good narrative, good visuals and good music. Games like Bioshock Infinite, Journey, Assassins Creed, Abzu, Braid, Limbo, Portal, The Witcher 3, to name a few, are simply masterpieces. You can experience surreal mind-fucks if you let yourself become immersed by the worlds these artists have created. Art is beautiful and gives life meaning, videogames can be as enlightening as any piece of music can be, or as insightful as a film like the matrix. Now I know Leo realizes this and he doesnt mean wrong, he was actually involved in Bioshock at one point in his life which I find neat, but we gotta stop calling video-games a waste of time! It only makes it hard for the good videogames to be considered art.

for sure, i have listened to several non-dual speakers but this guy is easy to follow

Discovered this guy yesterday, highly recommend this video in particular

"Take a leap of faith" = "Pay hundreds of dollars" I would gladly test the veracity of this spiritual teacher, but I am not paying money just to end up being scammed. But in an out this all reeks of scam disguised as spiritual awakening

I dont think Leo believes in past lives, not in the "Buddhist reincarnation" sense at least. Its more like, the real you hidden beneath your ego, which is god, is experiencing every life form through consciousness

Some of you missed the point of my post, almost as if you didn't read anything of what I said. I agree that micro transaction-riddled multiplayer games designed to keep you enslaved are mostly a waste. What I am saying is, there are really good artistic games made with soul and care, like a fine painting or a good book. And we must all learn to differentiate between the two. Saying all video games are bad is like saying psychedelics are "bad cuz they are drugs and drugs kill you or make you dumb"

doubt its salvia, its well known

Just curious, why not guys? I have always wanted to see for myself if these powers are real. I am very willing to believe, but I always felt I needed direct experience

Food for thought. I maybe totally wrong, but hear me out The spectrum of human emotions is contained within truth, it is the metric by which we all measure worth and meaning. Sadness, happiness.. are just tiny little pixels inside an ever growing and ever exploring canvas of creation and possibilities. The truth is information and connectivity, all emotions, be them positive or negative, serve the ultimate purpose of truth. Discovery. Hellish nightmares, or divine experiences, are equal to truth. Truth WANTS you to experience the divine, as well as the nightmare. It doesn't care if you get one or the other, discovery is all that matters. Data is all that there is.

Thanks, I agree with all you said. I wasn't trying to discredit enlightenment, its value is, well, invaluable. What I was really trying to say is, butterflies are beautiful, but so are worms. People often chase enlightenment to get away from the pain, they are looking for happiness in truth, instead of looking for truth for truth's sake.

I visualized Leo facepalming at this thread so clearly, it made me believe I awoke some latent turquoise psychic powers

you fellas are an embarrassment to this community mocking the video like school kids a single individual did this out of lavor of love, he also composed most of the soundtrack himself, he didnt make a cent out of it there is a deeper meaning inside this work of art, and you all clearly missed it I

Get high and listen to this

Its the same case with psychology majors, it attracts the mentals and insane. Have you seen Westworld? A theme in that series is that suffering advances the consciousness of robots. I feel most of the people here must have been seriously hurt in the "right ways" to end up in this path. I just dont see your casual happy-go-lucky folks dwelling into mysticism and non-duality, they are so care-free and happy that they pretty much dont need it. I may be wrong tho

Theres nothing more metal and shamanic than this. Leo if you are reading this, listen to their complete live concert, it will melt your mind

Gentlemen, please! What we need here is for Leo to make a video on chakras and Kriya Yoga. I for one am skeptic too but I wish to know more.

Over the last months I have sunk deeper into mysticism and awareness. Just recently I had an abstract experience with 5MeoDMT last week where everything I was aware of dissolved into one primordial liquid, a field of endless possibilities and manifestations, it was both scary and majestic. I stumbled upon the Seth material the other day, a woman who learned to channel a trans-dimensional intelligence who she calls "Seth",, I am not yet entirely sure if thats really possible but clearly the lady knows her shit and its been a fascinating read so far. Tho they place a huge emphasis on the idea of reincarnation and a persistent individual soul. The way I see it, our bodies and experiences share within the same soul, the one god that makes up all of reality. For me, to begin to conceptualize the idea of individual souls would bring conflicts of separation from the one source of it all. What are your thoughts?
