  1. I think you misinterpreted my last sentence. I was saying: I am already happy and present, so why would I spend my mental faculties focusing on this?
  2. My sister called me a psychopath once, but she said it wasn’t a bad thing to be one as she knows plenty of successful psychopaths… lol
  3. Sounds like some good progress. All of these facets of awakening will probably go much deeper as you continue to move forward as long as you stick with spiritual work. What other practices are you doing beyond psychedelics?
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. That’s some amazing ability to be able to record such small things happening.
  8. Nice writing. There are some good pointers and things to consider here.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Have you not heard of those practices yet? That’s surprising…
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
