Osaid

Yeah that's literally just a story you're imagining every time you see the color green. It's not even in your experience, it's in your imagination. You're not gonna know the color green better than directly experiencing it. To answer the initial question though, it's not possible to confirm everyone sees the same color. This is a pretty famous problem.

well i didn't expect to see this today

Yes it can, I have experienced it before. It's called turiya in Hindu philosophy.

Sounds are just as baffling as thoughts IMO. Throw out the story of soundwaves going into your ear and you're left with an experience that is completely intangible yet clearly there, similar to thoughts. To answer your initial question, thoughts are exactly as they appear to you. When you look at a lamp there is no need to ask "what is a lamp?". The essence of a lamp is right in front of you! You won't get closer to what a lamp is than direct experience of a lamp. This goes for basically everything in your experience. From a more relative position, thoughts are very intelligent and intuitive. What you think of is usually based on your surroundings and subconscious mind.

By "attractive" I think what he means is what your intuition guides you towards, not what is most comfortable

Ego backlash. Ego will hijack your psychedelic experience and make you panic.

oh my

Now that you mention it, cats were also a big deal in Egypt. Weird.

This is great man thank you

Yeah too much mental masturbation is such an easy trap. I get humbled when I hang out with high-achievers who actually put their knowledge into action.

@Husseinisdoingfine I remember seeing his comments on Leo's older videos

Yeah ego backlash is rampant in the comment section. Seems like a lot of people who watch Leo's videos have built their identity around conspiracy theories, which makes sense since a lot of spiritual teachers talk about such things.

Apple is amazing at marketing. They were exposed for slowing down older phones and everyone seems to have forgotten about it. I still have my 6 year old Samsung S5 which surprisingly works fine.

Yeah most people don't know shit about food and health so it's best to take casual advice with a grain of salt

What is hero dosing?

A car is more efficient at covering distance when compared to walking. But, like all things, there is an equivalent exchange that has to happen here. A car is more dangerous compared to walking, and you also lose the health benefits of walking. A car also takes more skill than walking. This is the price that is paid for the luxury of driving a car. Similarly, with psychedelics, it is faster than conventional methods but it does not adhere to the level of development your ego is at. This is the trade-off you get with psychedelics. With psychedelics, you force Truth onto yourself regardless of whether you are ready for it or not. You do not need to do any consciousness work in order to take psychedelics. This leads to the possibility of your ego being underdeveloped during the trip and creating a severe backlash. It's the difference of jumping straight into a cold shower rather than starting at a warmer shower first and making it colder from there.

Sounds like the ego is hijacking your synchronicities. Idk why, but it seems like there is fear of being stalked or watched in your experience of synchronicities. I describe it simply as "the universe talking to me", whereas you say "the universe stalking me". The difference in wording there is interesting.

I never got the urge to write them down

My recent one was seeing 1985 everywhere. It feels like the universe is talking to me and showing me how interconnected I am with it.

the purpose is whatever you want it to be

It's funny when people read religious scriptures and see that it says "God is everything" but somehow exclude themselves from the equation. The ego maneuvers its way out of that one.

The trade-off is that you need no practice or consciousness work to take a psychedelic, whereas sober you must develop yourself and fix up your ego prior to reaching that state. When you take a psychedelic it is very possible your ego won't be ready for the experience. When you take a psychedelic you force Truth upon yourself instead of reaching there at your ego's pace. It's the difference of immediately jumping into a cold shower instead of slowly turning up the coldness from a warmer shower first.

Yeah man it just proves how much mental masturbation goes on here. Most high-achievers are aware of LOA and practice it.

Yeah this makes sense to me. I think this is probably the actual explanation for deja vu. One day I woke up and like 4 of the things I did that day were also things I did in my dream that day. It was trippy. I've also seen the future in one of my dreams before
