  1. It's not long I feel until I will go for a 20-day psychedelic retreat. It's been sort of my mission to dive completely in without holding back for a long time now. Often at times when I use LSD, it's utterly profound and amazing and it usually lasts for a week or longer. But then the ego settles in and gets comfy. I'm really interested in completely going for it, and merging deeper and deeper into god without restraint. All I wish to do with my life right now is to explore reality and its various facets.

    I also feel like I need to find my mission in this life as I'm kind of out of direction right now. I really don't have a goal I can focus on which really annoys me because one of my passions is to be deeply passionate about something, to study it, and do it to the best of my ability, I really love mastering something. But most of my goals and ambitions were built on ego, so now I really want to find the thing my soul yearns to do, what my heart desires as Matt Kahn would put it.

    Goodness me! I just tried this. When he said "Ok, second round" I was like WHAT!

    Haha! That's hilarious. xD 

    Gotta love Mike.

    May I suggest something a little more gentle but totally awesome as well? Maybe for a rest day?

    I'll give this a shot on a rest day, thanks. 

    I've noticed when I'm doing yoga or stretching that I have the tendency to hold my breath which makes it all the more painful. I'm now always constantly reminding myself to let go, to breathe into the stretch.

    I would still like input on what kinds of things I might do during May to integrate and understand  each stage.

    A good way to exercise this would be to first meditate for 20 minutes in order to clear your mind. Then you imagine up a new life from whatever stage you wish to explore. Let's say you want to explore stage purple, you imagine you were born in a community of 100 people, a hunter-gatherer tribe. You go through that life and imagine what it would be like, what would you fear, what would you desire, what would you believe in, etc. You also need to lessen your horizon because your mind will want to interfere with its own stage. You naturally will always go back to your own mind because that's all you've known, so be careful with that. 

    I didn't mean to come off as harsh as you obviously care about this, so good luck. :) 


  4. I've drastically reduced my workout days the last 3 weeks, from 6 days to about 2-3 times a week. It's very noticeable the benefit you get from resting more. I feel like the muscles have more time to grow and rebuild themselves this way. And especially when doing harder calisthenics exercises like scapular retraction pushups. I notice how much larger my muscles are when they get to rest which is a nice bonus, you get to see all the work you've put in. 

    I've now been doing the 18/6 fasting for quite a while, some days 20/4 actually, and usually 2 meals a day to drop some weight as I still feel like I'm too heavy for some calisthenics moves. I'm currently 86-87 after a full day of eating and 85 fasted. I'd love to get down to around 83 fasted and 85 full. I listened to George St Pierre on Rogan's podcast a little while ago and he talked about how much dead weight he was carrying so he did one meal a day and carnivore diet to lose it. I feel I'm in the same boat, I'd love to feel lighter on my toes and keep the strength. 

    In order to drop the dead weight, I'm going to start the Mike Chang flow workout once again in order to burn more calories and to feel better as well. I've never felt as good as when I was doing the flow practice daily. I'll likely do push, pull, and legs once a week instead of twice, and flow practice in between, 2-3 times a week. 

    More is not better.

     I've thought long and hard about that point in planning this but I've concluded that it is important to teach.

    That's because you're limited by your worldview.

    How else are people supposed to encounter this stuff if no one shows it to them?

    Because the model is out there for people to find. You must be actively seeking truth on your own in order for the system to work like it's supposed to. For example, take how Leo runs his business, he doesn't market it out there, he puts it out and people who wish to join in can do so. 

    Almost every time you will bring this system to somebody they will reject it because it threatens their worldview. There are countless posts on this forum from people trying to teach spiral dynamics to others and it failing miserably because it's just too advanced for normies and especially teens. Usually, I'd only introduce this system to someone who I'm about to dose with some psychedelics. ;) 


  6. This will never work. You can't mass-teach spiral dynamics to a bunch of teens that are still developing and are probably not interested in it either. It's a model you find on your own and use on your own, then lead by example. It seems like you're coming at this from stage green, wanting to share it. This feeling of needing to force it onto others will pass when you get to "higher" stages. 


  7. When I've gone through my attachment of thoughts to the point where I notice it in the moment, the only thing to do is let go, not trying to do anything or change anything. The experience of having gone through the thought loops and dropping them gets implemented into my being and it becomes easier with time. I notice it only gets worse if I use thought to change thought. It's always enough for me to experience it, then drop, experience, drop. :)


  8. Definitely the Aubrey Marcus podcast since you were already in the talks of making that happen some time ago.

    He has integrated a lot of turquoise and is quite far on his spiritual journey as you probably know. He is also very open to talk about love and things that other people hit a ceiling on in yellow, he is well past that point. You guys could also talk about health and how it connects with spirituality since he does have wide knowledge on that topic.

  9. @Raptorsin7 Anyone who has access to a farm I'd consider lucky, no matter the size. Getting away from the loud city life is always nice. 

    Yes, it's passed through our family, probably back to around 1600. 

    I'm not sure what its value would be estimated at, probably around 20-40 million, but it will never be sold. A lot of it is also rough terrain and would be hard to cultivate so that brings the price down a lot. It's split between my family after my grandpa retired 10 years ago yet it's run as one big farm.

    With you running sheep. I take it that there aren’t any predator problems there,,,, Can goats be raised there very well?

    The only "predators" we have are foxes and the American mink, they tend to kill small lambs so they must be looked after. 

    And yes goats can be easily raised as well, we've thought about getting goats but to no avail. 

    I'm curious, what state is your farm located in? I feel like I've heard you say around Vermont but I may be wrong.

    Wow sweet farm. How many acres do you have?

    Do you only raise cattle or do you grow crops too?

    The land is 1700 acres with about 13 small islands outside it and about 400 acres of it is cultivated grass fields we use to feed the sheep. The farm is actually a quite big part of the Icelandic Viking sagas which took place around the year 900. We only have sheep and horses right now.

    If you ever want to visit. ;)

  11. @Zigzag Idiot Reading your post on bulls really made me miss having cattle around. My favorite animal I'd say, but we got rid of them about 5 years ago and just focused on sheep. It's basically impossible to have cattle here unless you've got 1000+, we used to have about 200 back 10 years ago and it just wasn't sustainable. 

    This is when I decided to take one of my boys for a stroll. He wasn't too happy with that so he started to run ahead, and let's just say I had absolutely no control over him. xD

    Atleast the farmers in the original post was going to eat the cows. This one is just shooting birds as "pest control"

    Pest control is actually really important for farmers. Birds can ruin fields completely and poke holes into wrapped bales. Same with varmints and foxes, they often tend to kill young lambs when they're out in fields.  The American mink for example goes around killing for fun, one of few animals that does that.
