@Charlotte @Farnaby I've had headaches my whole life, and i've taken a bunch of psychs so I can provide some insight. For me, psychs bring on a feeling of nauseous and headaches etc that are related to the headaches I get normally in life, but the thing is on psychs if you can go deeper and deeper into the feeling of the headache and trace it to it's root in your being, then you can dissolve the headache and lose all the suffering associated with the headache. The thing is you can get sort of stuck in an inbetween phase, where the headache is coming on strong, but you can't surrender/let go enough to dissolve the feeling so it can really suck.

If someone were severely addicted to drugs (like heroin), where there life was consumed by the addiction, but they also spent hours a day meditating with proper technique and good concentration, could they become enlightened while at the same being addicted to drugs. Have there been examples of famous meditation teachers who were addicted to drugs while teaching? I guess one alternative could be the drug addict losing their addiction through the process of meditation and inquiry before they become enlightened.

@The0Self How do you go from recognizing this as it is... to this feeling like bliss

Amen

@RendHeaven Beat me to it thank you.

Who told you this? This is such nonsense

@Blackhawk Have you tried working with low doses of psychs? Or finding a therapist who understands psychs? Psychs have been the single most valuable tool for me. A lot of these concepts that don't resonate or click, have the potential to be realized and understood on a sufficient dose of psychs. You're too stuck in your own mind. Notice how you just shut down everyone and insist you're right about your own perspective. Something needs to change to adjust your thought process

A guy i used to bully in highschool just made a facebook status about some girl blackmailing him with his nude pictures. I sent him a little cheer up message, seems like a good thing to do.

I haven't tried 5Meo yet, but I've heard that you can microdose it. So start with a very small dose, and then work up slowly.

@Nivsch If you think you can handle psychedelics' they can work miracles in terms of how you view yourself and reality. If you take them try following this instruction during the trip. Look for the one who is looking. Look for the you that is behind the eyes. In your direct experience, notice the looker and the looking. Sober this may not provoke any feelings. But on psychs this instruction should produce some kind of energetic/feeling response around the head/eyes region. Then repeat the instruction, and really try and notice the fact there seems to be a looker and all that you see, and follow that energetic sensation of the body.

@Chew211 Sweet, I played a lot of AOE 3 growing up. Some of my happiest memories and best feelings were from playing that game. AOE 4 has a ton of potential imo. I was impressed by the beta. I'm going to post on the forum and see if some of my ideas can actually be implemented by developers

@Esilda How do you experience love if you don't love anyone or anything? This is my dilemma. I know self love is the highest teaching, and the path to happiness. But i don't know what it means to love.

I actually had a 1-1 conversation with her, she seemed like a nice person. I echo what @Consilience wrote above. There's so much left out in these kinds of teachings. Fundamentally people seek spirtual teachers/teachings because of the dissatisfaction with their own experience, and these kinds of uncompromising messages don't really address the seekers dilemma well

Has anyone seen the sub reddit r/femaledatingstrategy? It seems like it's the female version of the redpill... lot's of trashing men and woman claiming to be too high value to find men etc. I guess it makes sense that where would be a female version of the red pill but I was pretty surprised when I came across it. I wonder if any woman here have seen the subreddit and have thoughts on their overall philosophy towards men. I wonder if this sentiment is becoming common amongst woman.

@Wilhelm44 Would you say that if we were talking about Trump

So is Bentinho a guy who understands nonduality intellectually, but the understanding hasn't reached his emotions yet? How does he transition into an authentic teacher? @Batman @Waken @Space

@Waken Why doesn't he resonate?

It was pretty entertaining, I don't know what is the right way to handle it. What's more interesting is how no one condemned her being a racist, and instead everyone sided with her and subtly blamed destiny for in the interaction

@Vzdoh Haha i'm just curious given your posting style. Dw my ego is A OK

@Vzdoh Well you were single up until the few months ago when you met this guy

@Vzdoh Do you think your high standards are the reason you are single at your age?

As long as you have crazy leftists like this woman claiming black people can't be racist while calling this guy a white piece of shit, guys like Tim Pool will continue to make millions

@taotemu How does 5MEO differ from LSD? I've only used LSD and Shrooms, and I've reached a point where I no longer felt a need to seek because I felt so amazing and aware. But it's in consistent with LSD, sometimes you can let it all go and sometimes you can't. Do you think 5 MeO could work well for this kind of dilemma? I'm open to trying 5 MeO but I'm a little hesitant because I don't like the idea of being thrown in the pool without knowing how to swim, with LSD and Shrooms I've never had a sudden and drasatic shift in consciousness

Feel the sensations that present. Feel them deeply and keep attention on the feelings. I can feel a sensation in the center of my head. Stay with the feeling and relax deeper into the feeling. Let the feeling guide you. Breathe into the feeling

@impulse9 @taotemu I'm not saying psychidelics are the only thing that a person should use on the path.
