@Serotoninluv Hehe, this man's on the hero's journey for sure....sounds like the menu of champions

@Serotoninluv That sounds like a good amount, 20ug. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow. Yeah I did my second trip a week ago, 200ug. It was mind-blowing, yet again. Should have the trip report finished by end of day tomorrow. There's 2hrs 40mins of audio as well lol, of me ranting. That's already posted on my journal. Next stop, mushrooms I think, or maybe some AL-LAD. It seems like I'm getting a good feel for LSD now and it's particular benefits, which are profound. I'm getting the urge to branch out a bit. Working my way up to 5-MeO DMT of course, so I can play with the big boys

@JohnnyBravo I can tell you're a really open minded guy who's serious about carrying out ego-less self improvement. It's a pleasure so converse with people like yourself. You've helped me learn about my own behaviour, so in a sense, pointing out the truth to others can be helpful, if it comes from a caring place and not from a need to chastise. I guess there's a difference then between moralising/judging and trying to be genuinely helpful and caring. As long as we have compassion in our approach and we're respectful of each other, we can help each other grow. I'll be honest, I can be a bit insensitive and crass with my humour. Perhaps there's a better way I express my playful, silly nature whilst being more mindful of others. I'll contemplate this

Yeah I might actually try microdosing LSD as I have some left. Was thinking about it today. I'm interested in finding out how smaller amounts would effect my consciousness. Man, LSD just blows me away in terms of how it allows all of the information stored in your brain to connect and form logical insights. The love and connection it makes you feel too....I just wanna be hooked up and pumped full of it intravenously for the rest of my life lol. I'm working on my recent trip report right now. I don't think you'd see much if any tolerance build up from just 2 hits a week. I was taking it every day and started to get some tolerance quite quickly. I ended up taking 400mg doses eventually lol, which was lovely, but perhaps not that good for you. I'm getting Armodafinil next time as I like a nice, strong hit.

@JohnnyBravo That's fantastic, I'm so glad this substance has helped you out so much. I ended up having my first mystical experience after taking it for around 3 weeks and getting completely immersed in the present moment, so you can imagine how much I love it! I did find it a little addictive myself as well, but only for a couple of days after stopping, now I feel fine.

@Serotoninluv Awesome, thanks for the feedback on that. Maybe we could have a Modafinil mega-thread going at some point as it seems like such a useful tool. I found it very clean myself, with no side effects. My girlfriend told me I was a bit distant, but I think that's because I was staring into space just incredibly immersed in being. I sat next to her like a plank of wood for about two hours lol. It was so blissful. I can't wait to get some more. I found it amazing for stuff like observation practice and contemplation, where focus is key. What kind of stuff did you do on it?

@Barna Good shout, love that one

@Igor82 How ya getting on with the Modafinil dude?

@JohnnyBravo Dude I was joking! Nobody is cheapening anything, that's something you've superimposed onto the situation, based on your own assumptions, prejudices, experiences and beliefs. Could it be you're taking things too seriously? I respect that fact that you're wanting this kind of thing to be special, which it is, but please don't just assume others don't think of things that way, just because they have a different sense of humour or whatever, or like to mess around a bit. You're making judgements based on words on a screen at the end of the day. I'm going to say this out of love for you, not to satisfy my own ego or attack you, but be weary of the trap pf moralising or trying to change others. You said before that you're not perfect so work on yourself. When you've removed the plank from your own eye the world will seem like a brighter place to you. I sincerely hope this doesn't rub you up the wrong way at all. I am very aware of my own hypocrisy here in one sense as I'm sort of moralising regarding moralising. This video is great, for you and I, as we both seem like the types who like to moralise a bit and dish out lessons. Trust me bro I'm seeing myself in you big time. That's what we're having this discussion, so we can learn. As for what's under the jokes? God itself. Realty is inherently playful. Love is playful @MellowEd Just to be clear bro, I was joking. Perhaps I should have made that clearer so sorry if I confused you. In the future I'll make it clearer when I'm horsing around and try to be a bit more sensitive. Don't say it as you're busting a nut. My 'honest' advice (serious face) is to not think about it too much and keep enjoying her company. You'll know when the time is right, or she will. Just have fun and play. Life is supposed to be playful and fun. Also consider that, like someone else said, they're just words at the end of the day, perhaps that's what I was attempting to get across with my joke. She will see it your eyes way before she hears words coming out of your mouth. So say it with your eyes and your deeds and forget about words for now.

@Joseph Maynor Yeah man, the more open your mind is the more magical and awe-inducing life becomes. You also realise how all of these perspectives are pointing towards the same thing. Then you see the same patterns everywhere, in the things people say, in the things you see when you're out and about. I see no many signs. Your consciousness becomes tuned into that frequency, so to speak.

@Joseph Maynor Yeah if you get a good balance between using the forum and doing the work it's fantastic. Apparently having spiritual discussions can help open your root chakra as well as it helps you remove the veil of illusion and understand reality, keeping you grounded.

@SerotoninluvYeah you must notice that even more so as a Moderator, watching people evolve. When I first joined I judged some of the people on here as a bit egoic and petit and I left for a while, but since I've come back and I've been working really hard on expanding my consciousness I've seen nothing but love and kindness. So I think my initial assumption was just a projection of where I was at.

can't we have a foot each? @zambize @Serotoninluv For sure, I find that the right guru pops up at exactly the right time, just when I need that particular message. God is always at work guiding us. Many people on this forum have fulfilled that function, you included bro. We are each other's gurus, guiding one another back into unity.

@Shin As time goes on I'm moving more and more into the 'Shin' camp on various matters. I appreciate your sense of humour too, very playful and I like the way you use it to deliver powerful messages. During my recent LSD trip I became aware of how playful God/reality actually is. Prepare your feet to be showered with kisses Shin.

@Joseph Maynor Allegations is the key word. But hey, no smoke without fire usually, right? Perhaps the truth will be revealed as time goes on.

@ajasatya Yeah definitely. This is important to remember. Many people have said that Mooji has influenced them profoundly for the better and that's what matters. I love teachers who can lead you very easily to direct experiences of the truth. Adyashanti's stuff is great as he has such a loving, gentle approach and his teachings are so easy to understand. Also Rupert Spira, because it's all very empirical and based on actually experiencing what's there, but I think the absolute Grandaddy of them all is Peter Ralston. For me he's the absolute best as teaching you what's true in your actual experience and understanding the effects that concepts have on moving you away from the truth, into ego. His delivery is so woke too, the way he uses his body and contrasts in his speech and tone. @Etherial Cat Hell yes, Tolle broke my spiritual cherry back in the day and I listen to him all of the time. When I read the Power of Now....man, life became completely fresh for me and I wouldn't be here having this discussion now. I was actually practicing 'space consciousness' only a few minutes ago. He's so damn funny too. @Shin Definitely dude. This is Leo's strength I think, that he stresses more than any other guru how important it is to do the work yourself. Of every guru I'd say that Leo has had the greatest impact on my life and general level of happiness. Especially as he introduced me to psychedelics. Not many of them do that. @Amber Thanks for that Amber. It's good to hear from someone who's actually met Mooji. I'm leaning towards being in the pro-Mooji camp now. Although I don't fancy kissing his feet. I'll suck him dry, obviously, but feet kissing is just plain wrong.

@winterknight Who would you say is the best guru you can watch on YouTube?

@winterknight I see, thanks for shedding some light here. Perhaps my mistake is once again assuming that enlightened masters have no ego, or the capacity to get frustrated or annoyed. I know you've explained before that this isn't the case. It wasn't so much that he challenged her that niggled at me, it was the way he did it, with no tenderness present. He even looked self-consciously aware of how he was coming across. Perhaps if he'd been more confident with it.... But I'm aware these are all my relative assumptions, based on very limited information. What are your thoughts on Mooji in general? Does he come across as legit to you? What do you think about some of the behaviour at his retreats, like people kissing his feet, singing songs of praise to him, etc? I guess it's no different than some of the things we see happening with Sadhguru and his followers, or is it?

@Shin Go to 15.00 if you want to see him fully dismissing her experience and looking insulted. But the whole video is interesting.

I watched one clip by Mooji where one of this 'followers' tells him she's had a kundalini awakening and he's really dismissive of it. She then asks him (probably as a veiled insult as she's annoyed) have you ever experienced this? Mooji then looks so pissed. He says something like 'my darling, that's child's play.' I was quite taken aback by the level of ego that Mooji displayed here. In another clip he tells someone to be quiet and stop talking, like he's a school teacher or something. One guy I spoke to who'd been to a Mooji retreat said that he stared long and hard into Mooji's eyes and saw nothing, only a hollow void....lol. No love etc. Just my two cents. Apparently Papaji, Mooji's guru, stated that many of his disciples were acting as fake gurus. Not sure if he ever mentioned Mooji in specific though. Might be worth doing some research.

I bet she yells out in praise when Mooji feeds her his tremendous girth

@Shin You're too good at this. Is that you Mooji?

@ShinIl I'll follow you Shin, but please don't make me suck, that's all I ask

@JohnnyBravo Could it be that because you've devoted yourself so strongly to this viewpoint, making a documentary etc, that you're now more inclined to defend it, despite there being contrary evidence out there? After all, it's just a way for people to start chatting. They still have to go through the same process they would do if they met anywhere, dating etc. Have you had some bad experiences yourself that have shaped this opinion?

I too can attest to the power of using social media to find love. I met my girlfriend on Bumble.
