Yeah. This is exactly what I should be doing. It's just trying to find time and energy after a long day at work. Sometimes it seems like just quitting the life I have now and starting over again would be more efficient, lol. But that's another limiting belief I guess. Thanks for the responses man. I'll be keeping this in mind ?

Wow. Almost exactly the same here ? The unconsciousness is truly what causes all suffering. I look back to how I just let any thought or emotion guide my every action. I'm still dealing with a bit of fear of the unknown but it's gotten a lot better ? I'm still trying to find my purpose though. I've gone so long doing what others have told me to do that it's hard to trust my intuition. I've been in a career for 15 years now that doesn't really satisfy me, and I'm wondering if I should practice complete acceptance of the path I chose or completely change my life around and move towards my passions. Limiting beliefs are still a huge problem that I'm trying to overcome. I'm conscious of them (which is a good first step) But I'm trying to surrender them and listen to my higher self. How have to been handling life purpose and limiting beliefs and all that?

Thanks for sharing. ?I've also been into the game for 5 years. But I wouldn't say I'm very advanced. Probably moving into Yellow? How has your progression been? What are some of the hurdles you've had to overcome? Have to had any non-dual states of awareness? How have you handled them due to your "identity-less" past?

As Leo has said in many videos, distinctions make up our whole reality. This is how we get anything from nothing. Couldn't this be viewed as nothing being 0 and any distinction as being a 1. This way you can have infinite possiblilities. How is this different from Binary Logic?

Right on. Keep questioning ? Just keep in mind that all opinions are relative. Question even the "trusting of your own opinion" part. And remember that it's not finding your truth, it's finding The Truth. Big difference. Good luck on your journey ?

Just focus on the fact that Psychology isn't the Truth. It's only trying to point to the Truth. Go into it with a genuine curiousity, but try to think outside of the box they're trying to teach you to put things in. Always try to look at everything with a wider perspective and an open mind to the possiblity that there's more to reality than the theories and concepts that other limited humans have come up with. It's a good place to start, but pave your own path and try to see things that other's aren't seeing in the systems at play. Good luck and have fun. ?

@Inliytened1 @Osaid @Nahm @traveler Awesome. You guys are the first people I've met who can relate. ? Did you have a similar struggle with finding your purpose, or doing things that others said you should? (adopting a strong super-ego so to speak) Did you find it easier to let go and surrender during your psychedelic trips with a weaker sense of identity?

Yeah. I get that. I'm noticing more and more in daily life just how complex and beautiful everything is. I was sitting outside this weekend watching a mosquito fly around and marvelling at the complexity of it. The pixel resolution of this portait of reality is truely spectacular. ?

Damn STEM training. The literal bane of my existence.

I just read this, and it really made me question death and reincarnation and multiple realities. The message was on youtube, and it read: I've got a similar message the time I was coming off mushrooms and thought it was a good idea to hit the dmt pipe the next morning and I was immediately nowhere without a body or anything just simply awareness with a crazy color wall infront of me and a voice coming from everywhere saying I have no idea what I'm fucking with and I was like yup you're right then plopped back into my body and for maybe a minute my awareness was above my head I could see 360 and there was a central me with a bunch of floating boxes that showed almost infinite realities and one movement in any of them would ripple across. I remember noticing that each reality I was sitting or even standing in a different spot all in the same room. I was like ohh shit I might have screwed up this is way to much and then I closed my eyes and opened them to be back inside my head in a single reality. That confirmed my suspicion, now belief that death isn't what we think and I can't really die in the normal sense that I would just wake up in a reality where things were a little different. I actually remember dieing in a car accident but ending up in a reality where I perfectly avoided the crash but vividly remember looking up and accepting that I was going to crash and there was no way to swerve around, didn't even go for the brake but then I was on the other side of the car controlling the swerve and remember jerking the wheel once to basically juke the car somehow without hitting the guardrail that in the last reality was closer then this one, I managed to not put a scratch on my mom's car, but I could remember giving up and accepting that I was going to smash right into this car that was at a dead stop a car length at most infront of me while doing 60mph. Another interesting part is that feeling you get when coming back from dmt is the same feeling I had on the other side of the car. Backtracking to the day on mushrooms before the dmt hit I had not planned anything I just did it kinda out of curiosity and boredom, ended up having so many thoughts coming feeling like anxious and then I layed back to try meditating to look in the sky and see a huge godlike version of myself that told me everything I feel and experience is my fault resulting from choices etc. I immediately was like yeah makes sense you're right, then a vortex opened up in the sky connected to my head and pulled all of the racing thoughts out leaving me feeling totally at peace. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Like a realization that no matter what we do we can't really "die", and we'll just keep living the infinite realities until we find one where we narrowly escaped death, and then forget the rest? This is quite a mindfuck...I've had a few near-death experiences where I wondered how I got out of it alive. Maybe this is the answer...we are just all immortal, and when we see other people die, they are living a different reality where they're alive?

@Bulgarianspirit @SoonHei I find it very interesting that memory seems to be relative right? So when we "die" we dissolve into pure consciousness. We won't have memory of that, because there isn't an "I" to percieve it. So pretty much anything can happen after that, maybe everything happens. Respawning, infinite realities, spirit realms...it's all possible, but we won't remember a thing. All "we" will remember is being a child again when we come back "online", if we are indead a "person" again. I find it interesting when someone catches a glimpse of it and remebers what they shouldn't be remembering. It's truely like a glitch in the matrix. ?

Awesome man. Thanks. I really enjoyed reading these. ?

Just curious on how you guys "think" in your day to day life after you've expanded your consciousness? I notice that I'm more aware of everything than I was before. I can let go of thoughts quicker, and I'm more conscious of other people's "stories" and I'm able to forgive and love them more because of it. But I can't tell if I'm more "inside my head" than before. I used to over analyze everything to death. I still feel like I'm constantly analyzing, but now it's with a wider perspective and a more compassion. Do you notice that you have less thoughts or just different thoughts?

Relativity. That's why. That's why anything. Thats why we are here on this forum. None of it makes sense. But that's fine. Words don't matter. We are all just philosophizing. Pointing to the truth. But it's fun isn't it. That's the point of life. To recognize the meaningless, and choose to put meaning on it. ?

Doesn't really matter. When people say death is imaginary. Before I thought that you faded to black. Now I understand that you melt into everything. But same difference really isn't it. Lol (and before anyone says it, I realize I'm everything right now) ?

Exactly, that what I meant by your beliefs and thoughts aren't you. But once you recognize that. Where else is there to go. You're free. Enjoy.

This is and isn't all there is. It is all there is in an absolute sense. But isn't all there is in a relative sense. But just realizing that we know nothing is all we can do. Even people who awaken have to keep on awakening to chase more meaning. Where does it end. There are only a few insights you need to realize to actually help you in your life. Everything else is obsessive.

I sometimes wonder what all of this matters in our life besides understanding that we are not our ego, our thoughts and beliefs don't have to control us, and we are all one, we all all connected, so we shouldn't discriminate. Everything else is just as unbelievable as finding out we're all made of atoms or the big bang is where we came from. It all doesn't really matter. So we are all consciousness. Cool. Neat. So what?

Yeah. I hear ya. This is the only difference I've noticed too. But I feel that makes a huge difference. I used to have major social anxiety and I was always in my head analyzing what other people were saying and analyzing how I would respond. I still analyze everything now, but I'm ok with not talking, or saying something weird...lol I dont know if my over analyzing is a something that is inherent to My Highest Self. Like is it something that is helping me reach enlightenment, as if it's god will?

Dude. This is one of the most profound things I have ever read. Thank you. ??

Everyone doesn't know they're hurt though. They're not conscious of it. Are you conscious enough to realize that they are all you? We are One. We are God. Can you extend compassion to them like you have compassion for yourself and for your mother who you forgave? Can you extend that forgiveness to the rest of the world? "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" You could help them see what they truely are?

Have you read The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell? It's a good place to start. Or check out Leo's video on The Hero's Journey. Basically, stories are the ego pointing at itself. They're just metaphors for the recognition, struggle, and desolution of the ego.

It would be quite the opposite. When you rise in the spiral, you gain some "super powers" so to speak. At stage yellow you start to see the deep interconnectedness in all aspects of society, nature, relationships, work, etc. You see the world from an outside perspective and see the systems at play. In other words, you start seeing things that 90% of people don't see. It narrows the competition pretty good I'd say. This is the stage where creative ideas and different paradigms start to become obvious to you. At higher stages you'll be able to express a deep love to any passion you choose in your life. This will attract people and things to you. At this point you'll be a natural leader who can develop a vision that others will want to follow. And at that point the competition narrows even more. Maybe you'll see things that 95% can't see. Plus, at the higher stages, the terms too different and difficult will seem silly. These are constucts that actually don't exist. You'll be your "True Highest Self" and at that point, no lables or attachments will matter to you. ? That's of course if you want to be competitive at all. You could also choose to live in bliss on a mountain top somewhere. ??

"Story" was probably not the right word. But if you take anything away from my answer please let it be that You are not your thoughts or feelings. You can witness them, You can detatch from them. They are like like waves in the ocean and you are surfing. You can notice the waves go by but you don't have to surf every one. I spent 30 years thinking that it has always been my experience, until I questioned whether I was the experience or the experiencer. But you are right that you're on the right direction, no one here should convince you otherwise. Follow your intuition, you'll find your way. ? Of course, I didn't mean to imply weakness. I know you're strong. But love and intimacy can't be brute forced. I know it's cliche when people say "You have to love yourself before someone else can love you" but there is some truth to that. You won't find Self-Love in others. It's already in you. All you have to do is look. ? I wish you all the best too, Cheers, Jay

I've been reading many posts with questions and misconceptions about what people mean when they say "You are God". I thought I would try my best to conceptualize it the way I see it. In many ways, that's true. You are God. You are the only "Being", and you're infinite. But like Leo said in his most recent video, This one being is also fragmented into pieces, which is what you are. So it is also true to say that Others exist, and "We are God". We are sharing the same Consciousness. This is why sharing is an act of Love, because we are being selfless and reuniting as One and we feel whole again. This is where the notion of Solipsism breaks down. Many are misinterpreting it as "I am God, I'm the only thing that exists, all of you are happening in my experience, my parents don't exist, all of you are here to serve me, etc etc etc." Which, in a sense, is all true. But that's still a lot of the ego wanting to be in control of the situation. It's more nuanced than that. We are, in many ways, "real". I am real in my experience, and I am also real in your experience. You are real in my experience, and you are real in your experience. In turn, we are all connected in an infinite web of conscious experience. Even though it's "An Illusion" it's only an Illusion in relation to what we think real is. If we expand our definition from "physical" to "experiential", then we very much do exist because "Existence" is all there is. Everything we know as Phyisical or Reality is happening because of limits we place on infinite possiblity. So when people ask "why can't I materialize another reality?". You can. But do do that, you must de-materialize this reality, and manifest another. And your physicality doesn't just exist in your reality, it also exists in others realities. Their experiences are also placeing limits on Reality. So we are locked in this web that if we pull one thread, the entire web expands and contracts accordingly. For this whole Reality to dematerialize, our whole Collective Consciousness would have to be elevated. Which is exactly what "God" is trying to do. God is tightening each hole in the web little by little to collapse the whole thing into one "big ball of material" again. When you die, you collapse your hole in the web (your experience of reality), you de-materialize and become infinite. But you also exist in "others" experience of reality. So they will expand and contract to your death. They will become more Loving or more Fearful and Selfish as a result of your death, and that will result in the overall web being a tiny bit more expanded or collapsed. Eventually, when all holes of the web are collapsed. God will cease to be fragmented. It will be whole again (Which in a way, was never not-whole). Pure Love. ❤️??
