Binaural beats are a great tool. You can check out light language too. It really helps open up spiritual energies which could be a bit tied up or inactive in my experience.

Is Lucifer Satan in your eyes?

Is micro-managing my muscles at all times a bit neurotic? It seems a bit neurotic. Why can’t I just be present and happy as I already am?

Amazing ??

I’ll answer with some questions. Can you get yourself to experience ten different more or less infinite information hubs of experience in your awareness simultaneously? Is that an “Awakening” or not one? How can you know whether it is an “Awakening” or not without experiencing it? My opinion is that it is nearly impossible, maybe just flat out impossible, to reach anything in that territory with just self inquiry, but that’s just an assumption based on doing this stuff using many different methods and a respectable amount of research for 8 years. Btw, if you’re interested, I’d be happy to talk about a good number of methods you can try if you want to. Shoot me a PM if you want.

That’s some amazing ability to be able to record such small things happening.

Nice writing. There are some good pointers and things to consider here.

How does this relate to Absolute Love from your perspective?

I met my meditation teacher through the Heartfulness tradition. It’s rather popular in the U.S. at least, probably Canada as well. The whole idea of the practice is to meditate on the heart chakra with the meditation facilitator giving transmission from the gurus of the tradition. It coincided with some big shifts for me in relation to kundalini/chakras and overall spiritual development. Some of their materials have been the most detailed descriptions of how chakras relate directly to Liberation I’ve found. My meditation teacher is the most knowledgeable and experienced person I was able to find in my area. I live in a small town of 40,000 people, so it was nice to have such a resource and tradition so accessible.

Nice share. Thanks.

It’s different for everyone. Definitely try it. I’ve spent much of this past year high, and it’s been one thing that greatly revolutionized my spirituality. It’s such a low risk that it’s kind of ridiculous to not expose oneself to it at least a once.

Gold. Absolute gold.

I’ve posted about psychedelics, their benefits, and my spiritual journey with them on my Facebook and YouTube. My approach is radical honesty. My parents hardly ever mention it to me. They’ve both watched plenty of the videos I’ve made of the upsides and downsides of psychedelics, so they are pretty aware that it’s not some simple issue.

Self Love is how I avoid guilt. Accidents are not conscious choices. There’s a clear difference there as well. This comes down to having both compassion for yourself and other things. If there was a serious infestation of spiders in my house, I’d probably call an exterminator. It’s not about always putting everything else above your own feelings, wants, needs, etc. It’s about being as compassionate as you reasonably can be and realizing when you fall short that hating yourself or feeling a disproportionate guilt response is just going to lead to more problems for both yourself and others down the road. None of this means that the compassion you can give is somehow the wrong move.

20 minute video. I think it’s quite good. Check it out. Or not. Opening a discussion on your takeaways/differences in opinion/etc. would be appreciated.

How so? What are the mechanics of this?

I’ve done things like that with people. It’s not necessarily a wise path to generating the highest compassion. This video talks about a situation I got into when I let a homeless close friend stay with me. His addiction issues ultimately caused him to do things to make things completely unsustainable. A spider won’t limit my ability to be my best self and help more people at the end of the day and still treat myself with self love. It takes a lot of resources to be able to help people in these situations.

The only math you need is 0=1. The most concise Absolute Truth pointer you can get IMO through a logic-based system like math. The equation is both right and wrong. The more you understand how both are clearly occurring in ever-increasing detail, the more awake you are becoming.

Have you not heard of those practices yet? That’s surprising…

Yeah I have no reasons to be for or against tripping in the morning or afternoon on any of those. Ayahuasca is also more of a medicine in my experience. This is another reason for me preferring the idea of ceremony. Not necessarily some trip producing machine, although it can be. It cured my depression for a while which was teetering on being suicidal when no antidepressants or even other psychedelics were working. I didn’t even trip lol. I just got nauseous, went to sleep to avoid the nausea and less than one hit of weed psychoactive effects, then woke up a completely more authentic and happy me. Happened both nights. Then it lead to some intuition that brought me to develop myself in other spiritual domains that I could’ve never predicted.

He can experiment with tripping on ayahuasca at home, but acquiring it or making it on your own is a pain in the ass. The ceremony really added immense value for me. His issues are far more related to the A&P to Dark Night shift that I mentioned in my opinion based both on many experiences of mine and what a clear expert has indicated is an inherent part of the awakening process. Sleep is great. Being aligned with natural circadian rhythm are great. Regardless, they’re probably like a few buckets of water poured into an Olympic swimming pool. It’s not likely to be the factor that makes or breaks this occurrence for him. Nothing really stops this process. It’s worse for some more than others, but no one gets to significant levels of awakening without facing some Dark Nights. Being equipped with knowledge of what’s going on and how to move through the cycle of insight can pull a lot of the suffering out of it overall though.

I doubt losing the benefits of ceremony for an earlier trip would be a net gain for him. This is way beyond sleep or circadian rhythm.

I am is another way of pointing to what I say when I say subjective present moment experience. I just prefer the pointer I use as it seems to have less confusion around the self/Self interaction. “you” exist as much as the text on the screen indicating that I am a real conscious entity. You’ll never experience my consciousness and yours at the same time. Everything is your field of conscious experience. The ego is a tiny part. My appearance to you is also a tiny part. Both are completely real, but if you don’t get the ego out of the way, you’ll lose ability to truly connect to Self to see how we are both real on the level of perception yet ultimately the conceptions of us only point to assumptions.

Neither existence nor nonexistence is one of my favorites. As Lao Tzu said in the Tao the Ching, “It’s older than God.” He was referring to the Tao. There’s an important reason why many Buddhists have an attitude that God/Self is not an ultimate answer. Lao Tzu combined these two seemingly opposing ideas in a way beyond anything I’ve seen in modern teachings.

Read this book. Completely free yet one of the most precise and practical meditation manuals focused on the direct goal of enlightenment that exist. Maybe even the best. That’s a matter of opinion. https://www.mctb.org/mctb2/table-of-contents/ Implement the meditation techniques described in the book as they feel to align with your goals and desire to awaken. Use your intuition to try other spiritual techniques as they feel right to you. Being willing to go deep into psychedelic territory can speed up a lot of this, but ultimately baseline shifts in consciousness come from things typically beyond psychedelics unless you can find a safe and sustainable way to trip very regularly. You probably will struggle to find that with typical serotonergic psychedelics. It’s much easier for people to get the large amount of hours of intense spiritual work that are needed for permanent shifts in a sustainable way through meditation than psychedelics. In my experience it really does come down to hours of practice. You can cut down the hours needed by adding the intensity of psychedelics to the mix, however, a good number of meditators get to 5,000, 10,000, or even more hours of effective practice. It’s really hard or maybe almost impossible for psychedelic-only people to reach that many hours of significant tripping. A ton of other methods you’ve probably never heard of or most likely think are bullshit to some degree can help you awaken much faster. In my experience, the intuition is a great guide to discover some of those additional methods.
