Read Advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman if you want to use your meditation skills to eg. Escape wage slavery or whatever you want. Just don't abuse it so you aren't just stealing value.

Have one main practice and try to find the best combo possible. Maybe if they combined techniques they wouldn't have to spend decades to get mediocre results (ie. most monks etc).

It's simply not true. You can combine techniques & the only time when morality could slow you down is if immoral behavior clouded your mind therefore worsened your concentration. Which CAN happen but it should be up to you to notice which actions hinder you and which don't.

I dont want to give you false hope, but I completely cured my (very fucked up) shoulders by doing high rep low resistance band pull aparts with underhand grip. Give it a try. AthleanX has a video on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JObYtU7Y7ag

"was the reason I found God." few posts before "Owen is ultimately the reason I found God. " probably just a coincidence in wording

dry fasting (multiple days) + holotrophic breathing + weed At least once every month.

Once you burn through: Identification with pleasure You begin to burn through: Identification with intellect Once you exhaust the intellect: Identification with everything (the collapse of subject and object) .....

Or maybe I have actually tried mediating at __ time and compared it with simple sleep deprivation - remember how I wrote that I get more insights when sleep deprived? How about comparing it yourself and then arriving to a conclusion.

If he has benefited from meditating so early, it might be because when you wake up without a full night of sleep you are usually tired enough to have a pretty still mind but awake enough to meditate for a bit. I do sometimes get better insights if I'm sleep deprived. And the specific time is probably just magical thinking.

The reason classic magick works is because it subtly forces you to decide that it'll work. Read Advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman. "...subtly forces you to decide that it'll work" You will be limited by your state of consciousness - but even ordinary states can easily cause serious changes to reality.

Read Advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman. It's basically one of the only new books (there are some older authors that are awesome too, but it is often written in a very obscure way) that offer genuine understanding of this type of phenomena. Obviously, Dispenza's stuff will work too but why wouldn't you go all out?

The best way to find the answer to that is to contemplate what exactly (if any) is the difference between dreams and reality? (Also do lots of dream work, so you actually get a feel for them)

Obviously just spiritual growth.

If you want a certificate then you haven't figured out your life purpose yet.

Well, I know that mine definitely was connected to experimenting with nofap. I guess it's just "use it or lose it". Just like you'd have to slowly introduce foods again if you fasted for a few days. Not very scientific, I know but I bet I'm not the only one who's experienced something similar.

I think POIS might've been caused BY the celibacy. I'd say that if you gradually increase your ejaculation frequency for a few months it might solve it.

It's either Kundalini syndrome or dark night of the soul. Others have adviced you for Kundalini syndrome but I highly recommend reading contemplative fitness by Kenneth Folk (it's free) and making sure whether it's Kundalini syndrome or dark night. If it's the dark night of the soul the best advice would be to actually meditate MORE than normally since you'd be on the verge of Satori. If it's Kundalini syndrome then don't listen to this advice.

Yeah, there has to be a lsd blotter on the finger.

Consciousness gainz. Even better if you skip food & water completely for the first 3 days (no refeeding at night).

Spiral dynamics shouldnt be used as a map for consciousness development but as a map for ego development (which is connected to consciousness development, but it is not the same). Hence why someone who is stage purple CAN be way more conscious than a stage orange person. But they will definitely misinterpret many of their spiritual experiences because of lower cognitive capacity (cognitive development is a part of spiral dynamics). eg. young Jesus performing miracles (killing and ressurecting people with siddhis) during his childhood was obviously lower than stage blue but still extremely conscious

It would probably strengthen it a bit.

Yeah, it is worth it. I have a different e reader and it is awesome.

That is a good observation. Next thing in line to think about is how to prevent it from turning into a problem - eg. use your spiritual giftedness / psychosis to manifest success and therefore become very confident etc.

The way their language functions is so different that it is not so easy to assess if they are able to think abstractly or not. But yeah, abstract thinking obviously works better at the higher stages (which is easily apparent just by comparing a stage blue person with a stage orange/green person).

Yes. My manifestation definitely works better when I do a lot of dream work.
