Thank you i love you, thanks so much for willing to give me some advice

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/lsd-makes-the-brain-more-complete-scientists-say-as-they-claim-to-have-unlocked-secrets-of-a6979571.html hi guys this is a study on lsd effects on conscious. Just wondering what you guys think on taking lsd for spritual pursuits and enlightenment. Give it a read it's interesting

Thanks for the advice, going to see someone about it soon and a see it as another hurdle to jump over! I need to do a lot of introspection around my beliefs when am doing it. I think it is rooted to my belief that I am scared to be fat again, and has come up as my other addictions have been suppressed. Thanks xx

@Leo Gura Hi there Leo. I was just wondering if you have the time, weather it's possible for you to share your personal development portfolio of your life since you got into personal development? would absolutely love to hear your journey

Yeah he isn't dogmatic about spirituality, which I think is a good sign. I think if his ego was attached to what he was saying he is the type of person to fight back if people disagreed. I might be mistaken. That was a issue I just discovered. I got into a debate with my dad because he was annoyed that I am going to go on a long meditation retreat (thought it was a big waste of time and pissing my life away). He is from a traditional background so has his rooted beliefs but I got emotionally attached to what he and I was saying about meditation and spirituality, it really annoyed me. Was good in a way because before I wouldn't even be aware of my dogmatism and anger and just believe that I was truly right. But now I got a believe in me that this is really bull even though I felt emotional (at least I was aware of my self getting angry and emotional). I think I am starting to grow slowly haha

@Leo Gura are you planning to have kids in your life? If not, why?

Now is a good time to start! I can only imagine if i started the shred of my ego at 16 because your mind is less corrupted by, and less immersed in, modern society, which is an amusement park for the ego. So the longer you in it the more you belief this is truly the only way to experience reality and the harder it is to escape. I see no harm in doing both personal development and enlightenment work simultaneously. I remember when i was a kid that i actually used to ask the same questions as i do now in my non-dual work, i never pursed it back then because society told me otherwise and i thought that the answers laid in science. It wasn't until major emotional and physical tromour that i started to question "my" experience, and with the help of actulised.org. Your mind is a lot more open and free at a younger age so take advantage if it

I have had a bad track record for when i am in a silence between certain peers. I find it so awkward and it gets to the point when i start perspiring slightly, have a shiver down my body and anxious emotions and thoughts arise. If it gets too bad in some scenarios I leave the room. Also, occurs sometimes when there is a silence when conversing with strangers. I fixate in the silence and it begins to become more awkward and i become more anxious of the silence. Do other people experience this? Has anyone got any techniques for overcoming this issue? I have got a lot better now but it still occurs with some certain people in my life

do people do the sentence completion exercises on multiple pillars at once or go through and work on one pillar and then the next?

Hi all, I just sat through Leo's self acceptance visualisation and thought it was incredible. I experienced crying whilst visualizing the parts of me i wasn't happy with and offering them love. Has anyone experienced something similar? What is the meaning behind this, can you guys share your opinions what other experiences did other people have? thank you

do you sit on the floor or bed?

I was wondering that do enlightened people partake in drinking and substance use or is their level of consiouseness in realty so high that they dont feel the need to do it

Hi there, I was just wondering: Are a combination of strong determination sitting and do-nothing good techniques for the increase of mindfulness in anyway. Also, whist doing your strong determination sit is it recommended to put a clock in front of you or will that diminish its effectiveness? Also, what is the minimum time that you should do the sit for it to be effective? Also, I find that in the 45min-ish mark that my ability to do-nothing deteriorates as i focus on the pain. Also, can you move you eyes in the sit or is that not in the same category as blinking etc? thanks

thank you was the best answer i could have been given

Ladies and gentlemen we now welcome @WelcometoReality to reality!! Haha well done its a good year or 2 before I can do that

Did you sit in a chair or cross legged? Because with me I can easily do an hour sitting on a chair but struggle, I mean really struggle, to hit the hour mark cross-legged

Started reading it. I am 30 pages in and already my world view of myself has complete changed. It has brought awareness to most of my issues in my life and the root cause of them. And how my self-esteem was subtly sabotaging without my awareness being aware of it. Really shows how little control you have over life. And feel soooooooooooo much better - haven't event founded and built the 6 pillars yet!

i don't get what you are saying. Are you saying it won't change your subconscious views and other practice will?

any good ones in the uk

yeah i agree with that, but couldn't they also see it as another facet of reality. So do you think some enlightened people occasionally have a night out where they get smashed without an addiction? I am asking this because thats similar for me at the moment. I enjoy drinking one night in a couple weeks, but have it under control. I just see it as another fun activity and not as an addiction. If one to become enlightened would their mindset change so drastically that they would see it as a mundane experience not living up to reality

thank you, was help full. I think i need to just chill out haha

that is what i said before @Leo Gura Would it be possible to share your instances with us. because at the moment thoughts are going haywire. There was one situation at a family dinner last weekend, when for no reason i had so much hate for my brothers girlfriend whom i love so much. The emotions felt so tense that i had to leave the room and just sit down for a bit to let it pass. Me being in the room with her would constantly fuel the fire. I have been currently doing and hour of the do nothing technique and an hour of contemplation. On 2/25/2016 at 4:11 AM, Leo Gura said: If you're seriously getting on this journey towards enlightenment, you should expect the next 5 to 10 years of your mental life to be unstable and rocky. Lots of ups and lots of down. Lots of weird shit happening your head. Lots of doubt and confusion. Lots of frustration. Sometimes you're feel like you're going insane. It's all good. You're just breaking through all the ego's defense mechanisms. This is all spiritual purification and a sign of true growth. The more suffering, the more purification. I am currently 19 studying maths and physics. Do you think this is a bad time to do this because unstability at this age could be detrimental to my future. I have periods when i feel so lost and bamboozeld in what i want to do in life, and have become distanace from my close firedns because now there is anxiety when i speak to them

ahh just at the moment have been feeling that i am losing everything good in my life, and theres no one around me to relate too

someone please help
