Thought Art

Feel the weight of your body Sitting on the soft cushion Notice the sounds, sensations and sights Let thoughts come and go Notice how in this moment you are completely safe In this mystery This moment is perfect.

Whatever you don't don't kill yourself. There is a way out and into a beautiful life here any now. Mushrooms can help you feel love you are missing and research shows they can pretty well permantelty increase your well being.

Some Basic Principles of the 5 Elements in our practice. Though, the 5 elements are more complex and each element contains dualities.... The 5 elements also pair to a Yin and a Yang organ which I will talk more about including the neurochemistry related to the organs. In a Qigong practice we have these aspects of out practice.... We use the basic generation cycle to get us into our ideal state etc. Think archetypically and systems. Generation Cycle: Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire -> Earth -> Metal etc Control cycle: Water Controls Fire, If we want to grow fire we add wood Fire controls metal if you want to control metal you heat it up and mold it Metal Controls wood - with metal you can cut a tree Wood Controls Earth - the roots grow deep down into the earth and keep it contained The banks of the earth control the water Can use the Control cycle in medicine, practice and in life. Energy - Metal Relax/ flow - Water Resiliency - Wood Enjoyment / Feeling Good - Fire Center - Earth Each of the above elements also contains its polar opposite Lack of Energy - Metal Stressed - Water Fragile - Wood Anger - Fire Uncentered - Wood Within a Metal element type of movement there are water, wood, fire, and earth aspects that can be included in each of the aspects of the generation cycle. So you may be in a fire aspect to begin a practice to wake up the body, but include aspects of metal, water, wood, earth and earth.

From the highest level there is not difference between anything

True, I think more and more therapists are being trained on helping people working through trips. Tripping isn't really recommended if you are suicidal. You may want to do some inner work like talk therapy, yoga, Qigong, or socializing more.

I don't know if we can give you advice on that... Science shows that if you do it right it may help in a big way... Maybe a low low dose... Some mushrooms can be really mean though so.. What kind are they?

Definitely not. I am so full of shit and so are they... I also know myself in ways better than others... and others can see in me things I can't see in myself. We are all swimming through guesses, assumptions, interpretations, feelings, ego and it's always changing and unfolding as we move forward.

Are you Spiritually Grounded? I think it is important that we contemplate what it means to be spiritually grounded. It is going to be different for each of us but these are my thoughts. Spirituality for me includes the holism of our entire life not just when we trip, practice, self inquire, etc... It's easy I think to get lost and to become ungrounded and I am glad to share my own personal contemplation with you.

Yes, exactly. All around in all social situations with everyone everywhere! How we see ourselves, changes moment to moment How we see others changes from moment to moment When you share things with groups of people there is generally segmentation and people may like it, people may dislike it, and many nuanced in between. Some will agree, some will disagree. I am learning to swim in this water. It's not easy. We often interpret, assume and project on one another and this is completely normal and fine.

We are growing together I think. Hugs my friend. I may come off as unfriendly because part of my work right now is simply not being nice or people pleasing. I will become more skillful and gentle as my skin thickens and I become more grounded in my truth. It's like.. my ego is part of this of course... I put work and love into something and someone doesn't like it... Well okay. I'll let my skin grow thicker. And love that too. I know this list of 20 things is really powerful. So, I can stay grounded in that. I can also listen to feedback without being defensive. I will grow as the weeks pass. I am sharing in this community because I feel like I am a part of this community. I want all of us to grow and become whatever we want to be. I see a lot of ungroundedness passing through here on the forum and in many spiritual communities in general. So, I am problem solving in my own way. There will always be people who don't like what I do, so I have to learn to stand my ground and figure out what is the most skillful way to do it. I think that, people should know I am loving but I am not nice. I like the medium of video. I also write things out by hand and then read them from digital paper so its not as easy as just copying an pasting. But, I will add lists to my videos though they may not be as detailed or valuable as what I say in the video. Also, making a list that is typed is easily copied into your one note which is added value. Maybe, I will take your advice and add a list and the video so people can have the option. I think that makes sense and is a good action to take. I appreciate you. Take care.

Ahaha, yeah I know she is really attractive lol. She is also a very grounding image. So, you are feeling more grounded and are doing better? What do you find help you to feel more grounded? What is being grounded to you? @FocusThats fine man. I can't read minds. If you leave like 5 words telling me you want it another way that is cool. But, that isn't what I made and you aren't going to watch it and I accept it. I am not pleasing everyone and getting used to it. Don't mean any harm. I hope one day you will see how scary it is trying to serve others and the need for being grounded, and not people pleasing. I am here to serve you, but I just posted a video. Maybe I will make written lists like I said. But, if you don't like this video. I can't change that and accept that.

@Focus No one is gonna ask me to do anything. Instead of being thankful for an offering you just wanted it your way. Thats your problem. If you want me to do something than be grateful. If I just read a comment that says "I don't like the way you did this" that is fine. I have no problem with that. Tough titties for me, tough titties for the fact that the person chose not to take up the value that was offered. I am not gonna do anything for free, beyond making a super powerful video for someone who just wants more from me. If you don't like it, its just simply too bad. You don't get the benefit. Others will watch it. I'm not being snarky. But, I am not a push over and I am not here to please you. My purpose is to help others, not be a door mat. This may sound aggressive or snarky. But, I need to develop a tougher skin. So, this is part of that process for me.

What systems do I need in place to contemplate, research and share this information in a sustainable tangible way?

@Focus Might… then someone will ask me to make a video instead lol Its a good video… When I launch my website I’ll be writing the lists under the videos. For now, if you don’t like the medium then tuff titties

Not sure if we are arguing or agreeing so I will stop replying lol Most Zen devils probably are not enlightened but can parrot and pretend to be. Also, this whole thing can be a bit merky...

@Khan 0 Zen Devils…. Enlightened people/ seekers have abused others… or misapplied teachings… especially when we are just beginning.. your making it out like zen devilry is impossible. when you realize how many mistakes you make you proceed with more humility and caution… Spirituality isn’t just Non-Dual awakening to absolute truth and collapsing of all dualities into loving nothingness… it includes human life…. Q Shaman…

No smoking or it is done verrrrrrry rarely

Realize how many mistakes you make all the time too…

An understanding of holistic thinking 28. An understanding of non-duality 29. An understanding of the philosophy of science

My rank is "The Sauce" jk... Ranks would probably mess up the forum imo

Realize you are likely born and raised into a devil... then when you start the spiritual path you become a zen devil.. and a major part of the work is undeviling yourself. First part of the work is realizing and admitting you are a devil. Then you just see more and more of how you are a devil and learn to love and transcend these aspects of yourself. I love Rumi, got his essential poems book here. At the same time. God is right here. Do you hear sounds? Do you know what 'Grok' Means?

I don't eat it. I consider it a food to avoid along with all processed animal products. I went to gelatin factory while in university... nope.nope.nope.
