Thanks for the video, I've been kinda winging it when doing shadow work, so this will definitely help. I agree, shadow work is very necessary. I've realised my problems / unresolved issues within my mind hold me back from going deeper into awareness, and psychedelics make this so blatantly obvious. It feels like a roadblock along the Path.

You are trying to avoid being wrong by using a technicality. That technicality being a definition that no one here uses.

@Heyyyyyy

I can give you someone enlightened who has kids if you want, lol

Can someone bring this thread back on track and post their face or some shit

Sounds pretty simple, and stupid... but the further I expand my awareness, the more questions arise, and this is one that is bugging me in-particular. Why am I not conscious during deep sleep? The thought that goes through my mind is: where the fuck does consciousness go?? Although, I know this thought is limited as it obviously doesn't "go" anywhere. Is consciousness just "tuned out" almost completely, with only a minuscule trickle seeping into my mind? Scientifically, it makes sense. Metaphysically, I cannot wrap my damn head around it.

Suffer and kill, then.

Its all too strange to even fathom. But, try use beautifully strange instead!

I have realised some of the problem: I cannot grasp something infinite within a finite mind. I have already realised this, but I am again realising that it's difficult to not do that.

@Nahm Thanks Nahm, I'll try to keep that in mind. I'm sure it will click eventually lol. Maybe I need to sleep on it

@Heyyyyyy Right. You're saying I need an awakening to realise this truth?

I like that. Thank you. I still don't quite get it. If I, my true nature, is consciousness, where the hell do I go late at night? ( Again I am aware that question is somewhat invalid, but I know there is some sort of answer I am looking for )

@The observer I do not remember being in deep sleep. I am just aware it was a period of time that there seemed to be nothing, and I have labelled that as deep sleep. There are degrees of awareness, a 600 micro-gram acid trip is obviously a higher state of awareness than a deep sleep. Thanks for your response

Sums it up well,

Development is never impossible. Unless the human race becomes extinct,

@Aquarius Was just inquiring for a response. I find dating those with no drive to develop nearly impossible. Its like, if I see they are doing something wrong, or forming bad habits, I cant communicate it because those things aren't as obvious to them as they are to me. I cannot communicate what they are missing if they refuse to take psychedelics, or mediate, or anything, because words are not enough to do these things justice. It's like an awareness gap, and I'm not developed enough to stay composed / patient 100% of the time, and it gets in the way in the relationship.

As I have said before, look at AIDS, Common Influenza, or any other deadly diseases annual deaths and compare it to the final death toll of COVID19 in a few months. The comparison will be interesting.

"fuck em all to death!"

Categorising your loved one into percentages ins't a very Turquoise thing to do IMO, and spiral dynamics should be seen ( again, IMO,) as a model for societies development, rather than to apply to your boyfriend. ( Again, I may be wrong ) Have you considered this?

Started this around 15 now 17, just meditate every day and keep learning about big picture stuff.

Cool stuff!

No, look how you theorise and become paranoid over subjects which you can never and will never actually prove in a desperate attempt to feel as if you aren't being lied to, played, or used as a pawn by "them". Quit wasting your time and use your mind to do more productive things, and refrain from rudely telling me because I have been there and done that, it doesn't take any sort of genius to come up with a fucking conspiracy theory.
