Something possibly to think about more than an interaction occurring is the chance that you may destabilize yourself with nootropics. You should be asking your doctor about any supplements you wish to take with these meds. Feel free to check online to double check your doctor's understanding. Sometimes they don’t know much about new chemicals. People can die or suffer serious injury from taking supplements in uninformed ways.

Well it’s kind of like saying the Ring was the whole point of the Lord of the Rings... I mean it was, and it was way more complicated than that also. But you’re really misunderstanding the ego’s role or at least what it could be. The power of belief can melt your whole reality. It’s not something to be discarded entirely. It can be used as a tool for further development if you’re able to master believing in something without losing your senses to it.

Confidence and a genuine desire to connect usually help me to keep a good level of eye contact. You can see if either of those could be worked on

Autism probably doesn’t help one be yellow/turquoise unless it’s more of an edge case with high functioning if I had to make a guess. At the end of the day, it is a different type of perception and thinking capacities. This can be advantageous at giving unique life perspectives to increase openness, but a lot of the time this isn’t taken advantage of. Many cases of autism might see gaps in social connectivity, for example, which can limit a lot of yellow/turquoise thinking and understanding of other perspectives. Sometimes it seems like a lot of high functioning cases are analytical to a fault. It looks like there can be some emotional difficulties and differences too. These are hurdles, but if they are overcome or managed well, the advantages can be noticeable.

Why is there such an issue with ego? It’s the whole point... Everything isn’t perfect if you’re looking down at your ego. That is disintegration.

I think it would make sense to create more of a unified approach myself. There are so many who would enjoy furthering the cause and have life purposes aligned with such work. Instead of having one mysterious talking head guy as all content, our mysterious talking head guy could oversee other talented spiritual people making content to expand the high quality library. Idk there is some sense in having things more collective and group-oriented, but there are a lot of limits no matter what.

It sounds like you’re kinda shitting on your own parade man. The relativity of meaning is only a downside if you’re being shortsighted. There are ultimately no limits that have to contain you. You can develop in many different directions. There are levels of meaning you can create for yourself which would make you explode with joy and bliss. It’s a really underexposed idea in spirituality. Everyone is focused on deconstruction and getting rid of attachments and such that they miss the bigger picture. This is your creative roadshow. Stop trying to escape it. You can create the most amazing experience for yourself and in some cases others thanks only to accurate Self knowledge. P.S. - You’re not necessarily wrong with anything you say. From an absolute level, things do not have prescribed meaning. The issue is this realization gives you the freedom to create a very positive or negative outlook. What’s the advantage in choosing a negative perspective for yourself when both are equally valid?

Make sure to keep developing a solid foundation of spiritual/philosophical understanding as you do consciousness work. It will help to remind you where you are and that others have had these things happen to them too.

Yeah if you’re on high dose LSD alone you could easily break the law or do something stupid from a relative perspective. I got quite lucky, and it still cost me a lot. Shrooms are in most cases probably the better option although people need to be cautious and aware of the level of risk.

This is true, and I think a lot of people aren’t ready for high dose experiences. They are overkill a lot of the time anyway. Safer and more gradual work will be plenty effective if done right. Still, there is an existential itch which is kind of intrinsic to seeking to experience the greatest of the greatest. I will say to be extra careful with any high doses with substances which give you energy or make you active. For me, this is LSD. There aren’t too many instances where I can think of someone in the state I was in on my high dose LSD experience being able to operate in a consequence-free way. Maybe if they were in a field of foam and pillows where they could run free... lol. If anyone here is going to take the risk of a stronger psychedelic experience, I’d suggest picking something with a very low toxicity. Shrooms are not bad for this, but they can be a challenging substance for many people at these kind of doses. If someone isn’t experienced at grounding themselves in the present moment and handling extreme levels of both negative and positive stimulation, a high dose could be pretty traumatic. Especially if there’s no awareness of spiritual/nondual maps to help make sense of certain experiences.

High dose trips are like a Russian roulette game. You don’t know how much it will affect. If you can properly integrate everything, it will be well worth it IMO, but as I said in the previous post, I feel like finding more consistent methods is really important. You want to be able to live it (the awakening) in life too. For example, if I spend 5 seconds meditating currently, I can experience a large shift in consciousness. I wasn’t able to do things like this so consistently until just recently, but all of my psychedelic experiences were valuable and getting me to where I am now which I am so thankful for. I have shrooms and have considered tripping, but I don’t really see the point currently. I’m still having heroic-dose intensity level experiences very commonly with just a legal form of THC which is kind of hilarious to me to think about.

My signature if you want to check out my experience w/ an LSD “heroic dose.” I’ve never done more than 6g of dried shrooms. I know someone who has taken maybe 10g or 20g or more at once. He described it as an amazing experience. My highest dose experiences with the classical psychedelics proved to be risky. They gave a lot of growth, but I paid a hefty price each time. I think the highest purpose of using strong psychedelics is so that you can unlock your natural abilities and control over conscious states and get transcendent experiences on lower impact substances like THC. This is where I’ve seen the best healthy growth for myself by far. Experiencing daily awakening experiences for months in a safe and grounded manner. I don’t think that can be sustained as long with serotonergic psychedelics. They are too taxing. I can do all of this with work and responsibilities the whole day. I’m in a state of spiritual flow with my life that is fantastic. Whether this is “full enlightenment” or “fully God-Realized” doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve transcended everything so many times at so many different angles in so many impossible ways. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have been given this exact karma and life conditions, etc. My life has just been too unbelievably amazing...

@Eternal Unity Clairsentience is one of the main psychic senses. It is the ability to feel emotions and sensations which normal people can’t. It’s more common than people realize, but most people kinda suck at it lol. I realized that two rather unique “spiritual sensations” I’ve had since I was a kid were actually related to psychic abilities, siddhis, awakening my angelic body, chakras, Liberation, etc. It’s such a crazy thing to explore if you have a natural talent for it. The other psychic abilities are great too, but this is my main specialty.

Where is the best place in the world to live for becoming enlightened?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or you can send me a PM. Plenty of us have had stuff like this happen and can explain some things if you’re curious how this works.

It’s a Godlike quality if you’re giving God defined characteristics which you might otherwise call ego. But people here are so simplistic and tiny. They don’t realize the divinity of ego. Ego is literally everything you know and love. Your desire to help people, develop yourself, connect with God, or anything else is ego. The beauty is that you have control to work with your own ego to bring Existence to a higher level of meaning. Meaning does not exist without an ego. It would be amazing to create a world with more Light, but it takes a serious development of ego at an individual level to make this a reality. You have to spiritualize the ego to bring it to its most potent divine creative abilities. Have you noticed since you discovered spirituality your life has produced more and more events, experiences, and evidence for things beyond typical human understanding of physics or the hard sciences? It sure has happened that way in my life. The more you trust these new threads of information, you start to find that some are legitimate and can be directly experienced. I’ve currently been working with a specific Angel as a guide and developing my psychic abilities — namely clairsentience. I want to develop my supernatural abilities and ability to naturally produce radical states of consciousness and connection with God. This path is going quite well right now for me. There is no shame in developing a better avatar for your personalized journey through God. Have fun with it. Learn. Explore. Grow. People here are falling in love with deconstruction as a type of contemplation or spiritual practice. Buddhism and other nondual teachings talk forever about attachments and getting rid of them. I’m realizing that better reconstruction and developing of healthier attachments is the better way to live life than to only seek to break things down. I see it as destroying what limits your mind and then you are free to use that liberated mind to begin a creation process for the type of experiences you wish to have. People don’t get that you can rest as No-Self the entire time all of this egoic activity is going on. You are aloof from it. It is only a tool of yours as awareness for producing a storyline and interesting experience.

You can have kundalini awakenings from no practice at all. Listening to Leo’s videos and meditating isn’t much of an accidental situation. You are lining yourself up for exactly this kind of stuff.

I’ve heard of some artists doing very well with NFTs. Maybe it’s temporary hype, but that still has been a quick and easy dollar for those wishing to capitalize on such situations.

Good one

From egoic consciousness it seems perfectly obvious. Notice I asked you about dream characters before. Do you think a dream character which can act identical to a person in the waking state has consciousness?

You cannot be certain if there is another conscious present moment experience bubble of sensations like your own. Anything you experience with that consciousness is experienced within your own awareness. Even if you experienced another person as being conscious, this is not proof for someone else’s consciousness. This is proof that your consciousness can produce an experience which makes it seem like there is more than just you. I am not saying that only you are conscious. I’m saying that you can never know if that is a true statement. It is a Shrödinger’s cat situation in which you have no way to ever open the box.

I think this perspective holds key advantages over how I and many forum users have considered ego death in the past. It’s not 100% correct from a technical understanding of No Self possibly, but it still seems like valuable nuance to keep in mind.

I often use words differently as well. Most of the maps of meaning I work with are far outside the scope of the average non dual spiritual seeker here. It’s always a challenge to present things as they may best be heard by people who have different understanding of things.

As true as this may be, you have to appreciate how different this is from what many point to when using the word. Thanks for taking the time to clarify. I think you’ve used the pointer well.

I would suggest reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. This should help with your situation in general. Once you have a good understanding of that or if you already currently do, you can try to use your physical pain as a portal, per say, into the present moment. If you focus enough on such an intense sensation, it will fill your focus. You will be present if you do not allow yourself to use distraction techniques to change your focus from the painful sensation. This is the nature of pain. It is hard to ignore. So now, your whole present moment experience is filled with pain. If you stopped there, it would feel like a failure. Next, you need to use his techniques and suggestions to bring yourself away from judgment of that sensation. As soon as you can sit with your pain without judging or even labeling it as pain or negative, this will give you a tool to help handle these hard times.
