Nice idea. There's almost no retreats focused on God realization - so it's a much appreciated space.

Started with creatine a few weeks ago. Also 10G / day. It's a subtle effect but I'm noticing that I have more energy, less muscle pain, more focus and better health in general. But these improvements might come with several other changes I have implemented around the same time. Nevertheless I'll continue to experiment with creatine!

@Artsy Well, from thousands of participants there'll always be a few who are not fully satisfied. I've found it to be a good program.

There's really not that many good books about Psychedelics. Chris Bache is by far the best I've read. Other books I enjoyed were: -Tryptamine Palace (James Oroc) -Psychedelic Integration (Marc Aixala) -Some of Stanislav Grofs work I've also heard that Jonathan Ott is good. Staring to read him now.

What did the poor reviews critique specifically? I qualified through iPEC and found it to be an extremely good and solid program to learn coaching.

Why would you want to get into Crypto during an all time high?

Great decision! Congrats! iPEC is awesome!!

Boom was great! Even sober. Glad you've had such a profound experience 😁

@Leo Gura Have you explored what is called 'Naam Simran' or a certain kind of Japa? Basically a dwelling on and remembering of God's Name'. There seem to be an infinite amount of words being used for that wich is essentially Nameless and I've found it hard to pick one that resonates. Especially as many are connected to some kind of tradition or dogma which turns me off. I've landed on SatNam ('Truth is the Name') displayed in the Mool Mantar in Sikhism. If not, how effective do you image that practice to be? I'm guessing it gives a flavor of divinity to the practice of concentration until you leave the repition altogether. I kind of like the idea of just staying with the Name. Eventually connecting it with the breath (something like SoHam has been used that way) - taking it into retreat and even into day to day as a practice.

I haven't done one, but my guess is that it might be worth it. Depending on what you wanna get out of it. Also I would be very careful in my choice. There are many cash grabs out there, who are doing 'a weekend of blasting' and then send you our into the wild which I find quite irresponsible. One of the only good examples I'm looking at is the training done by F.I.V.E. I think it's about 9 months and ~$15k.

Ask yourself: What is success?

@OMG You gotta do all of it and see for yourself either way. Changing course on this path is very natural.

Nobody said it was gonna be easy to make money with your life purpose. That's why it's so fun!

It sounds like what you're looking for is a mentor coach. Might be a bit pricey but something to look into. There are also groups / masterminds who do this as well that you can join, with more experienced coaches. (One person gets coached, the others give feedback.) Otherwise self reflection exercises can help. Looking at the ICF markers of the core competencies and sitting down after each session you do to check how well you did on all of them. (+What you could improve / what went well etc.).

@OBEler There were 1-2 occurrences where the observer vanished completely during 5-MeO-DMT. I think it's known as a whiteout / blackout in the space and is a common thing.
