Thanks for sharing.

Sober sticks to daily life a bit better

Gather as many health tips as possible and then slowly try to apply them & observe. The reason diet can increase/decrease consciousness is because it's connected to health. Not because of some special universal law or whatever. Experiment with adaptogens, see if they work for you. Track your antioxidants, cardio etc. Basically experiment with everything that doesn't seem unsafe / completely retarded.

Hi

"Leo says..."

2+ years. Started at TM. Experienced some states of oneness when I did 3 sessions instead of the recommended 2. 4 day fast also massively helped. Then after about half a year I started experimenting with Vipassana noting & concentration on the breath. 40m on average. Overall fucked around with many techniques. Made some progress, got some more experiences, mainly because of kundalini transmissions. During the first corona wave I upped my meditation to 1.5h to 3h everyday (concentration). (The key was 1.5h sessions, instead of splitting it up, it truly feels magical that way). One kundalini transmission a week. During the second corona wave (this) I started to do only 1h concentration a day + mindfulness during the day + kundalini transmissions here and there + some 36 / 24 h water fasts. Now I'm doing 1.5 to 3h again, but this time it's 45m concentration, 45m noting. Also I'm experimenting with IF, let's see if that makes any difference. My baseline is way higher than before. In fact, I'm surprised by how much it's different. I'm experiencing random states of oneness etc. during my waking life. Overall it has been extremely rewarding for me.

Do the practices, get the psychadelic experiences, read the books & form your own opinions. No need to ask others.

Write down your dreams. Everyday, even if you don't remember anything write down "I don't remember anything". If you never miss a day you will soon have way above average dream recall. Doubt it's due to porn. Even if it was you can just fix it this way, cause it should have bigger impact.

Male: head awakening first, hearth second Female: hearth first, head second I've seen it irl. When women already have began awakening their kundalini without intellectual understanding of what non duality or even awakening actually means. And men usually mentally masturbate a thousand theories before even meditating seriously. Women get a head start but have to correct their course over time, men start slower but usually take more correct action when they finally begin serious work.

Lol Just be more careful next time. Yeah, I've done retarded shit while not caring about ego too. But then I realized nihilism is just another layer of ego.

If you don't get where stage green / vegans are coming from you likely aren't above them.

From the larger picture probably yes (when you get full yellow). But in the short / medium term it can be pretty destabilizing. For example when you go from orange to green. That will definitely make you seem like you don't have your shit together at all, at least from the perspective of people who don't know spiral dynamics (the general population).

Try edibles and Leo's guides excersise for realizing you're God.

The title is gold. You should check out the channel "siddhanta yoga" on YouTube.

Technique?

Thanks for the recommendation. For me it's always about finding a good system that makes you progress faster than the general population, not so much about how many hours I put into it. For example with lifting, if you choose the right program you will become advanced within a few years of training only ~200 hours a year. (Concurrent periodization) Or with spirituality if you combine retreats, psychadelics & other techniques (all day awareness, fasting etc.) you too can cut the 10 000 hours by a considerable amount. At least in theory, I'm not advanced with spirituality yet. My point is that deliberate practice should be combined with techniques that cut the learning curve. It's not enough just to do the emotionally hard thing, it must also be done in a fashion that's as smart as possible. And finding a very good teacher also removes a few thousand hours from the rule.

Try to find anybody who exhausted 5 meo's full potential lol. Ofc there might be something stronger, it's just that it would be hard to find use for it.

Spend it on things that create more money. Doesn't have to be stocks or the other classic investments, it can be marketing for your life purpose. Frugalism is a nice tool, but it should be temporary in my opinion, or at least combined with something else.

Concentration meditation. It's way stronger than developing concentration by intellectual tasks. 1.5 hours concentration meditation ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/breath-counting-meditation_b_9698598/amp - there are 2 techniques on this link, do the breath counting one, if you manage to do the whole 1.5h, which is insanely hard on your first try, your tolerance will literally reset) I understand if you're skeptical, but why not try it.

Don't decrease your intake too quickly. Let's say you have 300 mg caffeine ever morning now. Take 250 for let's say 4 days, then 200 for another 4, then 150, then 100 & then switch to black tea, after 4 days green tea and then nothing for another 4 days. After that you can resume drinking coffee again but hopefully more sensibly. Trust me within a few weeks tea will actually be strong for you. Also I noticed that garlic increases my sensitivity. And if I do 1.5hrs+ concentration practice that day it resets my tolerance. If you couple all these tips you should get rid off the addiction quite fast. I've done something similar multiple times and it worked. The addiction can of course return, but you now have a tool that allows you to go months without it if you prefer.

This post deepened my understanding of what turquoise is, thanks. Funny how spiral dynamics naturally calibrate your understanding, it's literally like if you had a machine learning app in your brain.

Have you already exhausted the achiever stage ? I know it's a separate model, obviously, but I have a feeling once you're well off materially you should naturally become more greenish. I've not completely exhausted the achiever stage, yet I have access to green & small percentage of yellow. Once I achieved some degree of success I became naturally way more compassionate & started taking consciousness work way more seriously.

Spot on

Agree 1000%

You're probably talking about dream lights, but I've recently read someone changing stuff (light switch etc) in Astral Projection & affecting real life. In Astral Projection Guidebook by Erin Pavlina. And I agree that people should find out this kind of thing for themselves.
