His app is great, he has conversations with different spiritual teachers. I got introduced to jim newman and tony Parsons because of the app

Did you have permanent shifts that lasted after the trip? Like feeling more, love bliss etc?

Know thyself. Know the nature of knowing.

Tony Parson's is a G. I think I struck gold with his teaching. Knowing is everything.

@Gesundheit Dude are you even enlightened?

@Emerald Do you consider yourself enlightened after your ayahuasca trip?

The strength is in the spine. Put your attention to the spine and find strength. Put attention on the spine, and use that strength to keep attention on the breathe. Use the spine to go deeper into your feelings.

I call bs. You still have so much internal conflict to resolve no way she is the highest quality mate a man could attract. Maybe for you that's the pinnacle and she is great, but from my pov you still have work to do and so I think there are still higher quality people you don't have access to yet.

Does anyone posting about Male and female relationships in this thread actually have a relationship with a high quality partner of the opposite sex?

Watch the mind. Be still. Turn attention to the mind, and notice what happens. Watching the mind is very important. This may be a key insight. To watch the mind. Witness the activity of the mind. Don't get lost in the mind. Just rest and witness the mind.

@zeroISinfinity It's cool I don't mind being invoked. Yeah, I have no desire for true relationship until I learn how to be a developed and capable man. I have high standards for a partner and I know that how I am right now won't cut it. For now i'll settle for escorts and tinder. I'm pretty sure girls can tell in like 5 mins of meeting if you are worthy of them or not, everything else is kinda bs. If a man is judged worthy by a high value girl, 99% sure he will have emotional capacity and inner development to satisfy other needs. Is it too much to ask for smart, beautiful, rich, classy, and good/pure? I feel like when i'm done with inner work I will check all boxes myself that i want in a partner at least.

Focus on stimulating the dorsal vagal nerve. Breathe in, and breathe out longer than the in breathe. On the long out breathe feeling the pressure on the dorsal vagal nerve. Feel the outbreathe stimulate the spine

become aware of being aware. Be aware of the present, and then aware of that and so on. Feel the energy that builds up from that. Keep it up and you will feel a charge, and that will allow the breathe to go deeper as well. Deep breaths. Aware of being aware. Feel the tension dissolve in the head.

Feel. Accept the feeling deeper and deeper

Become aware of being aware. Be aware of the sensations at the center of the head. Watch Forrest's video on clinical mindfulness. Become aware of being aware. And feel. Become aware of feelings, and then becoming aware of the fact that you are aware of feelings. This is the highest teaching so far. Watch the clinical mindfulness video everyday.

Rest as open awareness. Accept experience fully and be fully present and aware. Then play some inspiring/epic music or movies scenes and feel into the music/scene. If you get the right video/music you will stimulate a pleasure center of the brain and you can feel the good feelings emerge in experience.

Become aware of the sense of suffering if you're ever in deep suffering. There will always be a felt sense of suffering in experience, and instead of distracting yourself, turn your attention towards the suffering and go deeper into it. Be with the suffering fully, fully embrace the suffering until it is no longer suffering.

What does everyone think of an actualized.org discord channel? Lot's of popular online figures have discords for their audience it could be a fun thing. If it is against forum guidelines, would it possible to discuss whether the guideline is outdated or could use an upgrade to allow for something like discord? Thoughts? @Leo Gura

@Roy I'm pretty that's against forum guidelines, you would be recruiting people for talking outside the forum

Where does this jordan peterson guy get off. Idk who he thinks he is but he's something else.

@Leo Gura What do you think of rupert's teachings on peace and happiness. According to him the goal of every ego is to find the peace and happiness inherent in being. I don't really see you talking about that, so do you think there's stuff worth pursuing beyond peace and happiness she rupert is deluded, or are you going to seek happiness after going deeper with psychs?

@zeroISinfinity There's only crazy people and people who don't realize they're crazy yet

Haha this is a lightning rod for all the crazy's on the forum

Is there such a thing as higher states of consciousness? Can someone raise their level of consciousness? I've heard conflicting reports on this. Some say the idea of states and stages of consciousness is delusional, but on the other hand it seems obvious that different people are at different levels of understanding and realization. Is there anything important on this topic I missed? Thoughts?
