Consilience

This thread is teaching me so much about how paradigm lock ?

If you’re wanting to live in a psychedelic state without having to take psychedelics Id recommend taking the long road and learn how to meditate.

Merry Christmas you guys! ❤️

Im just trying to help you see the oversight you’re making by explaining different scenarios that have rhe same structure, but are different content (see Leo’s structure vs content video) but Im starting to think you're trolling. Done replying. Good luck with your future sexual encounters ??

Intellectual knowledge =\= experiential knowledge. Knowing how to aim a gun and hit a target intellectually =\= knowing how to aim a gun and hit a target experientially. Man this is hopeless...

And this right here is what will hold you back from being a great sex partner one day.

You know it intellectually, not experientially. Just like you know the surface of the moon intellectually, not experientially.

@the-philogynist Maybe save your opinion until after having had sex?

Of all the thought stories to be lost in ?

@the-philogynist I encourage you to be open to the possibility that sex requires practice to master, and there are skills within sex by which you practice achieving mastery.

Yes! Great analogy. Im sorry @the-philogynist I wasnt trying to insult your intelligence.

For me it seems to... the lighter my mind’s become (less thoughts, less judgements, more self acceptance and self love, more gratitude, more joy, etc.) the less food I want to eat... my bodyfat has gone down and I dont feel as hungry. It’s like I naturally feel the need to fast. This change has been completely involuntary though but it feels like as my baseline consciousness changes, it has been reflected in the way my body wants to fuel itself. Also Im vegan and feel 0 need or craving for meat or diary. I feel like my body responds very well to high vegetable and high fruit diet. I also focus on protein intake too though, just non animal sources obviously.

? alright buddy. Feel free to believe that. When you try to eat a woman out and get confused why just “licking” isnt enough, dont say we didnt warn ya.

I already have. Since you’re a virgin that probably explains your beliefs on the matter. I dont say this to be mean, just as friendly constructive feedback. As you gain experience with sex, you’ll understand how sex is in fact a skill. There’s a lot more that goes into good sex than humping. But if you view sex as completely mechanical, it’ll more than likely limit your sexual abilities in the future. Anyways I agree... porn feels pointless other than to remove energy from the body and mind. It actually feels harmful sometimes.

There are techniques you can practice with sex and get better at. For example, giving oral to a woman, or a woman riding a man - there’s a skill, a finesse, a rhythm to these sexual acts that can improve over time. And after you’ve been with different partners with varying skills, you can observe the difference. Even staying with one partner, you can improve your ability to give pleasure based on feedback and thus, improve your skill. You can also get better at tuning into non-verbal cues as to what your partner enjoys. It’s an intuitive skill you can develop, being able to read what your partner enjoys in the moment without them actually having to use normal language. There are a lot of details to sex you can improve upon. This has been my experience anyways.

Uhh... This is incorrect.

The documentary “Ram Dass Going Home” deeply impacted me early on the path... it’s bittersweet to hear he’s now finally gone. Very inspiring soul and a true spiritual leader.

I will miss your mystifying posts. Farewell brotha... Unless you return, then talk to you later. Either way I've appreciated your contribution to da forum.

Okay fair point, it's an opinion. But what other schools teach about self-deception, godel's incompleteness theorem, materialism, strange loops, self-actualization, life purpose, how to use psychedelics responsibly, moralization, spiral dynamics, etc,. I just meant actualized.org covers content way beyond traditional spiritual schools, providing tools and resources not only about how to become enlightened/raise consciousness, but more generally how to live a badass and fulfilling life. So that's what I meant by "beyond anything contemporary spiritual schools have produced." I fully acknowledge though that it is a biased opinion. Leo's work resonates with me and it wont for everyone, but I think it's fair to say the man's done a great job with his business. There have been plenty of anecdotal reports of people who feel Leo's improved their lives. And so my point, part of actualized.org's content was created BECAUSE of tripping. So part of why it's been as successful as its been has been because of Leo's uses of psychedelics. We should acknowledge this.

I think in order to truly know the answer to your question, you'd have to truly know what boring is, to contemplate boredom until you understand it fully. So first what is boring? What is the existential nature of boring and why and how exactly does it arise?

@Nak Khid Have you ever tripped?

LSD and the Mind of the Universe by Christopher Bache might be something you're interested in. Very interesting book and his approach towards psychedelics is different than Leo's but hardcore nonetheless. If you're truly curious about learning more about potential novel insights discovered while tripping, I'd give this book a shot. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGLX9NX/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 To be fair, actualized.org is a resource Leo manifested for humanity and it is leaps and bounds beyond anything contemporary spiritual schools have produced or talk about. And I have no doubt a large part of this manifestation has been the result of insights and ideas discovered while tripping.

Really like this explanation ??

He never left

@V-8 You're killing me Very fascinating posts, in very weird ways. I truly hope you're happy my friend.
