Hello guys, I'm looking for meditators to complete a questionnaire about aesthetics and self-transcendence. This questionnaire is part of my undergraduate thesis for the psychology department at the University of Athens. The basic prerequisite for its completion is at least two years of experience with meditation and/or contemplation. It takes about 15 minutes. There is also the option for an additional 6 minute aesthetic rating of a set of pictures, but this is completely optional. You will find further information in the link below. Thank you in advance! https://forms.gle/ti71zQ4XicL4JA6r7

@Leo Gura said Leo while high on a mixture of drugs trying to achieve a never ending orgasm of "alien" consciousness.

@Bruins8000 nothingness is so empty that couldn't do anything than look like something... Contemplate on that.

@Terell Kirby none of us

@ivankiss check out Steven Lehar and his theory on indirect realism. He has witnessed what you talk about during his psychedelic experiences and referred to it as the brains refresh rate. Its a deep rabbit hole but has a lot of value.

@Leo Gura the weighting of the test may be biased. After all, which people are most likely to take the test? those who have internet, speak English, have an interest in psychological matters and so on. Obviously not the general population.

@AminB501 genuine insight as in: another achievement for me? Then no. Go further, to the point no question remains and no insight is important.

Adyashanti by far...

Could you please ask him if he still has sex? And how sex changed after awakening.

@Leo Gura Since the beggining of your chanell i always belived that creative pictures on your videos would be a lot better than puting your face on them and im very glad that you finally did it.may i ask where do you get them from?

@Holygrail nothingness is not an experience. Its what you are.

@Espaim alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines and other amphetamines and much more excitatory drugs of this kind.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@r0ckyreed what is pointed at by this "Jed" concept is far more extraordinary than being able to feel more clear minded or in control of your emotions. He is not saying that meditation is worthless in terms of being a happy or decent human being. He is conveying that is worthless in terms of being truth-reavealing.

Tell him to Keep peaking.

@ivankiss you are inside your mind

He revealed it. It was DPT. Then he changed his mind to 5meo again and lastly regular DMT. I don't know what he is up to now.

@Leo Gura I ve seen that you came across the qualia research institute material. What's your opinion on their assumptions?They seem to give a very rational context for psychedelic experience interpertation. Especially André emilson (take a look at his channel if haven't already) confronts issues like the experience of god in a very scientific point of view. His last video upload is on creating whole worlds in specific states and the experience of being omnipresent.

@How to be wise you are disputing an unprovable claim...

@neutralempty you should watch some videos of their theories. They do not overlook what you said.

Their views match with yours: You are conciousness fundamentally and your individual experience is a ripple of conciousness (god). They approach logic as an aspect of reality, not the ultimate reality. An experience can have infinite mixtures of qualia and logicality can be one of those. Godness is like a specific match of qualia, the most symmetrical and energetic one. I don't exactly understand their model but i try to... They are pretty advanced. Especially Andrés.

@LostSoul Conciousness needs YOU to awake to itself. Thats the one and only truth.

@Craigxt22 hello, I have been consuming mind altering substances recklessly for more than a month, daily, and now i feel weird. Is it normal?

@BakeJeyner hey there. This too shall pass.get off psychedelics and especially mushrooms for...maybe forever i would say.it was a big mistake for you to take 6 grams.and even more stupid to try your luck with mushrooms again. You should stay away from these solipsistic nihilistic mindset you have built.part of the problem is your belief in what Leo says.stay off this forum as well.come back when you feel better again.trust me I have been through this.your ego will reconstruct in a month or so.try a different psychedelic next time like DMT.it doesnt mess with your mind like mushrooms do.but dont rush it.take some time yo integrate.

That's false. Psychotic hallucinations are an example. and they are not based on an external factor (more often than not)
