You massively underestimate and undervalue the growth of consciousness that occurs with practice. Probably because you’ve never devoted any time to it. This is why all these westerners take 5 MEO, think they’re God but in their waking lives they haven’t changed at all. Still neurotic, selfish, negative, insecure. The jokes on them. Either that or they lose their minds and turn away from spirituality completely. With a disciplined practice you build serious character and strength that a trip does not give you. You learn the complexity of spirit, and you don’t depend on anything outside of you for your consciousness or connection to God. Why would reality limit consciousness to only experience God through a toad? Whos the real sucker here? Is it the East with their proven practices, or the West always trying to cut corners, find magic pill solutions and get their fast and quick? Maybe the West is missing the point.

I agree with everything you said except the last part. you guys don’t understand that having a psychedelic peak is very different than integrating that state. When it’s integrated it’s very calm stable and clean. It’s only because with a psychedelic you get the contrast of your normal state vs the peak that it seems so intense and wild. But if you build that and your mind integrates into it. You can live in a 5 meo state and function perfectly fine. Probably better than most.

It transforms the mind and purifies the mind on a deeper level than psychedelics. I’ve been doing yoga hardcore with a school for 25 hours a week and it def brings up your baseline consciousness to where you emBODY it

Are you seriously going to ignore how he took a massive hit of Bufo , say there without movement and basically said it’s fake? A full time Yogi?

I think they can def get there through practice. The lazy west just won’t put in the work Psychedelics show you what’s possible but then you have to work to make it a baseline experience

I’ve never loved this perspective

@Israfil Great points! Are you from Rio? I lived there for a bit and found it so easy to meet locals and tourists. Had too many girlfriends! I really love Brazil

Women definitely invest into attraction and dating WAY more than men 😂 Its just not “pickup” it’s much more subtle and less obvious. I’d say 70-80 % of their energy goes to thinking about this.

This is 100% true. It also brings you closer to Love Personally. As I’ve gotten more conscious I’m less successful at pick up. I can meet women at Tantra events and crush it but when I’m “out” with more city girls, I can’t authentically do the “seduction” thing. I just end up talking to them about God and Love. They like it, but can feel it not really trying to have sex and usually walk away. And I don’t really mind anymore. I’m enjoying spreading love. It’s interesting.

Thanks brother. I think I def fall into the category of needing love and devotion on my path. But I still find interesting this idea of Truth not Being Pure Love confusing. Some masters seem to point at this it seems to be the difference between Zen and Tantra

@Javfly33 this is the same point Ralston makes. My argument though is that it IS love. It’s undeniable that the structure/purpose/and core of God is Love. God does have emotions, everything we experience is possible to be felt by God. Nothing was left out in our experience. And it is the “same” as human love. But metaphysical. Human love is like a small taste of it but it’s of the same family. Kinda like grapes to wine. I don’t understand or agree with the notion that it’s somehow different. I mean why not call a spade a spade, it’s LOVE.

I hope I am misunderstanding. Because I find it very depressing that he would deny Love and Compassion from God. But this is what he says quote for quote. Am I wrong in my interpretation?

I refuse any teaching or teacher which does not incorporate Love into their work. This is why I walked away from Ralston, and I’ll do it with Sadhguru too. Just don’t have the time or energy for any school that doesn’t incorporate Love

You are already God. Whole and complete. you have no obligation, need, or way to do life “right” you’re sole responsibility is to experience life how you wish to create it. There is no wrong, evil or bad. You can’t fuck up its a matter of what you wish to create as God. That said, creating love and a passionate life is a great icing on the cake of already being whole complete and Free. You create your life purpose, then enjoy it knowing it’s completely meaningless and unnecessary

Wow. So compassionate and understanding. “you don’t see reality like I do so I’m cutting you out of my life” 😂😂😂

Very profound sharing. Thank you. So beautiful and way to find this love for life in your unique way

That’s fucking badass man, I usually do the same but with spiritual pursuits. it’s cool to see that same mindset and context put into making some cash, so you can have more freedom in life. Plus just getting after it like that and saying fuck all the distractions is so satisfying. Get after it 🔥

@Hojo That’s a slippery slope to quitting an addiction but I see your point. Regarding this post. The guys reasoning is fucking wack. But also porn is damaging to your psyche , masculinity , and spirit. Not that it’s “evil” but high conscious sex or sexual retention is so pure and potent

Solitude in nature doe

. It’s better to be independent, and in my case that’s just needing very little and living in cheap countries.

I literally don’t need psychedelics anymore. You can raise your consciousness to the point that it’s like a clean trip 24/7 Yoga Meditation Community

@Leo Gura Can you speak more on that?

I’m just so thankful for his work and help in my awakening. You take his material, and of course your own study and practice, to the fullest, you literally end up in God Realization. The state that sages and mystics have thirst for and searched for, tortured themselves for, for millennia. This is beyond YouTube, it’s mysticism. You are all mystics. If you’re struggling, double down, keep going. Find a community or a school that’s dedicated to awakening, it helps a ton. You guys don’t realize, but you can volunteer at these kinds of places and work for food and board, so all you have to do is focus on your practice. Money is not a barrier. Stop limiting yourself. The book list, LP course, videos, psychedelics, meditation. Without Leo’s guidance this would’ve been way trickier and confusing. Im grateful for all my teachers, mentors, and guides. The universe beyond blessed me in this arena. The greatest teacher however, is your soul, your heart, your longing for God. This will guide you til your last breath. Listen to it. Anyways, Thank you brother.

Regarding point 2, actually you’d be surprised. Many of the people in these communities are really conscious, they just don’t fit into societies psychosis so chose to live in Stage Green communities. And why not? the pace of life is slow, everyone is happy, fit, beautiful, and has some baseline knowledge of spirituality. You can meet some very developed people and even awakened people. I consider myself a hippie in many ways, but not like a lazy hippy, I’m super focused and disciplined. Insanely dedicated and intelligent, but my lifestyle is in sync with nature, dance, sex, and relaxation and God of course. If that makes me a hippy then sign me up I’m happy as fuck! 4- I scored an amazing job in tech out of college and spent 6 years only saving and investing. Eventually I realized I had enough to live freely in certain parts of the world. So I wake up when I want and dedicate my time to spirituality. It’s fucking amazing. my advice: save and invest like nobody’s business. 5- totally agree. I think it’s a good rule in general in life to actually not depend on anyone for anything. The second you depend on people, they own you in a way

Agreed. I was talking about this tonight and I think people usually do psychedelics way too early. Psychedelics should be done only after a deep foundational ground in spiritual work and purification of the mind through meditation books right living and yoga. Imo no one should to 5MEO until at least after 3-5 years of deep sober spiritual work
