I did two 1-hour meditations today. Basically do nothing, or knowing consciousness. I feel much more present and calm, and there was some subtle joy building which was nice. But I felt myself getting distracted and sleepy, and it seems like 1 hour sits are not nearly enough to really release these knots of tension in my being. I'm not sure if I should be trying for longer sits like 2-4 hours, or more 1 hour sits, but in any case this seems to be the clearest path forwards so it's just a matter of keeping it up. The path seems to be to just meditate all day until I get some creative insights that really inspire me, or I release enough of these knots of tension where returning to life seems like it would be fun and enjoyable.

@asifarahim I will likely exhaust the path i'm on before turning to Islam. What's your take on OSHO now? He wasn't a muslim, do you still consider him a Buddha? And I got the Kriya Yoga book from Leo's booklist, what technique should I do if I want to reduce the tensions and sufferings I feel in the third eye chakra.

@asifarahim Do you what sect Rumi belonged too? Rumi is my favorite of all the teachers. His words are like magic.

@Eternal Unity Do you think Shamanic breathing is the best approach? I never really resonated with the approach. I can't keep up the breathing long enough to go deep. Imo psychidelics seem like a more direct and efficient way to do what shamanic breathing does. I've had some success with just sitting and being present for long hours, but outside of a retreat it's hard to keep the 1 pointed concentration.

@asifarahim Interesting. I'm definitely going to get a copy of the Quran and i'll see how it impacts me.

@asifarahim Did you just read the Quran or did you convert to a particular sect of the religion?

It's the only religion where the adherents follow the faith without trying to reconcile it with man made laws derived from the intellect and reason. I also respect the Taliban and their ability to resist the Americans and Soviets. Guys like Bin Laden were able to survive living in caves in terrible conditions on pure faith. I think religion isn't necessary when you become a prophet of truth and just live as god, but maybe humanity needs a religion for cohesion and order.

@asifarahim Islam will be the last thing I explore after exhausting the new age, meditation, psychidelics etc.

Red flag bro. Consider the possibility that you may be the toxic one in the situation and her dad is rightfully being protective of his daughter. If you really care about her then work to try and create harmony between her and her father so both people are happy if you end up moving in together.

@Lyubov Can you take a week or so and do some kind of solo retreat where you don't have anything to distract yourself? Poland has one of the best Vipassana centers in Europe, rooms with an ensuite bathroom and shower. I was able to connect with my intuition quite well on a retreat in July, and I had some awesome mental and physical purging.

@asifarahim Islam is the last true religion. But is religion necessary if you are a prophet? If Islam is true then that means god allows us to have 4 wives which is pretty cool

What's your take on the chakras and how to open the chakras? I feel tension in my third eye/head all the time, and it's been growing for the past few years. I've completely resolved the tension with psychidelics, and to a large degree when on a 10 day meditation retreat, but i can't find good information on people who've had the same kinds of tensions and resolved them.

@Fuku Look at your life and see what you're already gravitating towards. What are you naturally drawn to? What do you do that no one has to remind you to do? I recommend taking his values test and see where you are already putting your attention in life. Then work towards finding a way to make what you value most into some form of a career/business.

Thanks man. India and South America are next on my mind of places to travel too. I am of Indian descent so that will likely be the first place I visit, but South America sounds incredible, and I'd love to do some Aya and explore the nature there

The irony is too rich

Tate's actually an incredibly attractive guy to probably 90+ % of woman. He embodies many positive masculine characteristics. The people who laugh at Tate and think they are above him are kidding themselves. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

@Spooney Spoonerson Nice post bro. Glad to see you benefited from Tate's videos. Don't let the hypocrites and sheep on the forum brain wash you into thinking there's something wrong with learning and absorbing knowledge and energy from Tate.

@Nexeternity Awesome bro. I met a woman who runs the vipassana center in Sweden and she heard of someone attending the retreat who was a breatharian. I believe it's possible. What was the name of the retreat? And can you reccomend any similar kinda of retreats in Asia or South America

I got one I wish I hadn't gotten any. The vaccine is a good litmus test for who actually does the work and has an honest interest in the truth and healing.

Yeah I want to get my shit together and get off this place for good. Yeah no internet on the retreat. The retreat can't come soon enough

The more time I spend on the forum the more I feel this triggered energy manifesting in me. This place is a toxic cesspool.
