actuallyenlightened

I remember ~6 past lives and the concept of reincarnation is quite useful. There appears to be continuity in the experiences that I have and lessons learned. It also integrates well with spiral dynamics That being said I'd still say that it's no more real than physicality itself

nice Maybe we just have a different definition of what vulnerability means; to me that sounds like 'deep talk.' For me personally, when I talk about struggles it's from the perspective of "this is an interesting pain in the ass but a good opportunity to learn about myself and society" - and then proceed to chuckle

Too much monkey mind - need more meditation.

The aspect of sharing vulnerability means that you must first feel vulnerable. Wouldn't it be better to work on overcoming your 'vulnerabilities' and eventually having none left? So this would work as a stepping stone but I can't see it being used by someone who's actualized.

It probably depends on how much / how you use them. I've been purifying my energy channels using LSD every 2 weeks for over a year and still feel like there are too many blocks to process before getting a kundalini awakening - and I don't think I'll be getting one until I chose it to happen so never need to worry about that. I'd actually prefer to get my kundalini awakening on LSD because I become super aware and constructive on the pscyhadelic (feels as if I rebuilt my nervous system from scratch over the trips) But can only say this about LSD. Things get too chaotic on mushrooms so i quit that. Interesting though how @Ry4n gets the opposite experience so I think it varies greatly from person to person and you wouldn't really know for yourself until you try.

That seems like it's based a lot on the person's level of development. An angry/depressed/fearful person would almost certainly make a poor initial choice while the happy/enlightened one will probably come up with smth good

Idea: After many years of economic prosperity, its become the norm for people to no longer be motivated by wealth, power or to fulfill basic needs; and are more concerned with love/belonging and esteem+ (Maslow's hierarchy). In addition, mechanization has eliminated the need for most jobs. The government provides everyone with enough money to live a comfortable life and work becomes optional. Most people pursue their passions like music, art, or philosophy - things that previously wouldn't have paid their rent. The moochers will eventually get bored and stop mooching. The brightest would be involved in running businesses and the government for the sake of reaching their full potential and bettering society. Companies would have extensive ties with the government, which would in many cases allocate resources to companies with good potential. People wouldn't be able to own property but it wouldn't be an issue because of all cities being 'good' with virtually no income inequality + a superb national transportation network (ie hyperloop). There will be a hard cap on the amount of money that people can make (approx $1-3 million/year, depending on the state of the economy). The system of government will be fairly similar to full democracies (elected) seen today, with slight improvements. Depending on how history plays out, continents may form federations with each country having a high degree of autonomy (EU except its considered as a country with a president). Requirements: - GDP/capita > $300,000 - Solved most green issues: multiculturalism, immigration, free health care, social mobility, etc. - 2-3 generations of comfortable living - Mid-late 21st century tech

@Philipp might work if everyone know's how much everyone else makes and the amount of assets they own.

@CodyXarex idk about your circumstances but i'm pretty sure you'll better accomplish your mission in life in a major city. That's where stuff happens. Kills 2 birds with 1 stone.

@thenondualtankie Spirituality makes you really interested in the mind and the psyche; thus it's easier to understand people's emotions - thus know what to say, what to do and how she'd/he'd respond. I'm pretty sure advanced people like Jesus have a certain energetic signature that people can intuitively sense. There's a whole energetic side of existence that humans are designed to sense but most people haven't developed those capabilities enough to integrate it into their consciousness.

Here's a clickbaity topic Recently started doing game again after watching Leo's new videos and found that there's a way of getting better extremely fast without doing nearly as many approaches and going through all the hardship (but it highly depends on your ability to process emotions) Background: 24 y/o from Canada. Spent ~1.5 years doing nonstop biweekly psychedelic work - spending most of my time cleaning up my psyche (limiting beliefs, trauma, etc) + 1-2 hrs/day meditating on my sober days, doing the same thing. On route to getting enlightened. I've developed an ability to 'see' my emotions as they come up in my body (ie chakra system) and release them by focusing intensely on them. Procedure: Start doing day game. If approach anxiety prevents you from making the approach, walk around processing that anxiety and release it. Once done, try again and keep doing it until you can approach. After an approach or two, process those emotions too. From the butterflies in your stomach to perhaps any sudden wave of fatigue that may wash over you. Results: I'm still new to this and haven't done many approaches but can see that everything about my game naturally improved (more grounded, better eye contact, direct but friendly, calm and natural). It's also helped tremendously in opening up my chakras. I bypassed most of the guilty feelings/karma associated with acting out of integrity, something I used to get when simply following pickup advice from the Internet which eventually lead me feeling too bad and quitting. Reasoning: I believe that men are intuitively good with women - but usually suck because of all of their beliefs and bad prior experiences, which act as negative modifiers to their game. They surface when interacting with women and are thus the easiest to oust in between interactions. Any man who naturally develops high self-esteem and a healthy outlook in life (cares for people in general, fundamentally believes in oneness, spiral wizard) would attract women; and for them game learned from the internet "makes sense" and is easy to implement.

@Javfly33 Might as well just approach and suck so your brain realizes it's not so bad. Very very probably she'll be flattered, thank you, and reject you (some nice reason why it can't work). Just don't act all macho cuz she'll probably reject you harder

@Javfly33 I can't say since I've never microdosed but from my experiences at tripping doses - it makes my brain extremely neuroplastic. It feels like it's too unpredictable of a situation and getting rejected could traumatize you. Taking a mix of 1/2 tab modafinil and coffee has been really useful for staying alert and aware.

@Javfly33 Upon seeing an attractive girl, I think about approaching her with the intention of approaching. That's when the approach anxiety comes up. If you choose not to do the approach, that feeling is fresh in you mind and you could work through it. I usually proceed by playing through my mind scenarios of doing the approach and feeling through it at that point - but again it depends highly on how your brain is wired so I can't confirm whether it's a viable approach for most people

@Vercingetorix It usually only takes 15 seconds - 1 min for each 'bit' of emotion and takes ~5 rounds to feel better. When the emotion clears, my spine cracks itself where that emotion was stored - like a chiro adjustment It feels like my technique is unique but people can apply whatever they used to release trauma while on psychedelics/sober meditating in this situation.

Isn't it because having a war/famine every 20 years forced men to contemplate death and get their shit together to remain alive. Now that it's easier to stay alive, men can't rely on their survival instinct but instead only on much weaker drives like companionship/self-expression

This type of content is very threatening to most people. The best way imo is to thoroughly ground yourself - ie putting lots of work into connecting to your root chakra. That'll give you a solid foundation that can much better withstand ego dissolution

For someone who is high-turquoise+ I predict that Leo's teachings don't apply because: Approach anxiety: "suffering is imaginary therefore I don't feel negative emotions" Charisma: superhuman levels due to fully awakened throat chakra. Doing enough approaches: 1 is enough. Coral figures the person out before saying a word. Might even recognize them from a past life. Reading people: easily picks up on their archetype and temperaments. Knows what response it'll get before speaking. Talking to yellow and below is like talking to children. Worldview: "my life is mythology in action. Of course the hero has lovers" Problems in life: Already solved the problems that normal people face. It's probably attractive when coral seemingly has no problems. However, may cause problems in relationships because it's boring otherwise. In a nutshell, for coral life's just fun and so is their love life. Playing as coral is like using auto-aim in COD; eventually God might decide to drop the ban hammer and make you a martyr. Disclaimer - This is not from my personal experience. I haven't reached such a level.

I could see it being difficult. Completely possible to put on new identities like a mask but perhaps very demanding. Probably since it'll be below a serious practitioner in a sense where he'll feel like he is acting out of integrity and it will undo progress. Maybe at an even higher level the ego will be so gone that it wouldn't even care

First time posting - sorry for the long post but just wanted to share my trip and hopefully gain insight into what could have happened: I took 6g of mushrooms (dried) 3 days ago. It's the third time I've taken such a high dose so expected a difficult trip but no damage: Here's what happened - For the first time, I experienced a God consciousness awakening. It felt as if God took off his mask and behind it was me. Not the ego me but the universe being one awareness. I started getting confused because it felt like no matter what I do, it didn't matter. All God is interested is in gaining new perspectives. Having a good life vs having a bad life is all equally valuable and it was starting to become difficult to convince myself that doing what it takes to live as an individual ego is 'truthful' living (of course I still come in from the assumption that I'm doing this to develop myself - I'm still 22 and should have a full life ahead of me). The scary part begins soon after the insight when I feel this 'damage' on the left side of my heart chakra. At first I thought I will be able to heal it but it got worse and worse and I got the sense that I is irreversible and that I was going to die. I got in the shower and saw my skin turn pale and started begging to live but I felt like I was lying to myself. Thoughts of my death rushed into my mind and I decided to accept my fate rather than resisting. I texted goodbye to my parents and they called the police. While the police rushed me to the hospital, I felt power gradually leave my body - it was honestly a peaceful experience. While waiting in the hospital, I felt a glimmer of energy in my heart, something that I believe saved my life - I don't know why or how this even happened. After spending the past 3 days at the hospital (doctor found an enzyme from muscle breakdown - wasn't sure if this was due to an intense deadlift session 2 days before the trip, but no sign of any heart problems) I still feel uncomfortable in my heart and a certain volatility in my energy - It feels like my identity could be easily shaped within the next few days to weeks. Here are a few theories on what happened: 1) I was just high 2) My energy system wasn't ready for such insight considering how my lower/gross chakras are still fairly underdeveloped. 3) I simply brought up some deep blockage/trauma that was strong enough to make me feel like I would die. 4) It's dangerous to have such insight before discovering what love truly is. 5) I had a soul walk-in - i.e. my soul was ready to leave my body and a more suitable one for this stage in my life set up shop. I decided to rest for the next few days and shift my focus toward developing my life physically - ie relationships, university, motivation to get conventional 'good' results before continuing any further in this pursuit. No psychedelics in the near future Also wanted to add that I took a tab of modafinil that same day - I have done this for every one of my 30+ trips in the past so assumed it shouldn't have been the cause. I would be grateful if anyone could provide some insight into what could have happened or perhaps a similar experience (energetic damage from mushrooms or any other psychadelic)

Yes of course, but physical life itself doesn't exist. Yet I want to play by the rules of physical life so I can continue participating in this hallucination. Thanks for introducing such possibility. If my ego simply tricked me, then my psyche wouldn't need much time to heal. Yeah I felt bad for my mom and texted her that I have no regrets - she called the cops who came with an ambulance (shout out to the cops who were kind and talked me through the ordeal - they're getting a lot of hate nowadays and it's unfortunate that the good cops also have to go through it) It was indeed an initial perception of pain - and especially on mushrooms I can perceive my chakras as a 6th sense. The thought came later - and a lot of them seemed to be out of my control. Thoughts like 'how is it going to be after I leave my body', 'my life purpose is complete and it's time to move on.' I also felt my body beginning to fade. It was a very powerful experience that you wouldn't understand unless you went through it. It felt like a rapid downward spiral that my thoughts themselves wouldn't be powerful enough to cause even if I wanted it. That is so profound.. I'd need to read over it carefully tomorrow when I have more energy. I could tell you're going through a lot and hope you're feeling better Yeah will do. I was alone at my place which is good. Just gotta lower the dosage Yeah it's great by all means. I usually take around 3g and have amazing life-changing experiences. The problem (for most people) is doing 5+ grams

Imo both are neutral. Having a point is a value statement that doesn't actually exist. Point 2, life being just what it is - it is definitely neutral in that you don't attach any meaning to it; but I think it's incorrect in the absolute sense since life doesn't actually exist, it is just a hallucination of a 'life' experience. This is where it gets tough. How do I love life when I know the physical doesn't exist? Is it simply finding beauty in my (me with a capital M) own creation? I want to let go of judgement but if I do, I can't find a reason to strive to improve myself or anything relating to the human condition. I find it hard to love something if I don't feel a burning passion to improve/protect it. It feels like being indifferent, you wouldn't care if it were one way or other and you won't feel anything as a result - apathy. And yes, you need to feel the feeling of 'love.' (of course you don't in the absolute sense because the absolute YOU already feels the highest love but I want to get closer to the absolute self). Yes, but one of my main goals in this business is to reach a state of peace and acceptance. I don't want to be a miserable enlightened person lol. As Leo said some give 'higher states of clarity.' I interpret this as being at a higher vibrational state - as in seeing the information from a place love or courage vs approaching it from a place of fear. In these higher states, you are calm and can take your time really observing things.

It was just so neutral, neither positive nor negative, that I felt like my life pointless - and that was ok at the peak of the trip but caused all these problems as my trip started fading away (around hour 4 or 5) and my ego started returning. I was expecting bliss and an ability to love life for what it is. Not a sense of indifference to everything lol. Perhaps this is just my ego speaking but my main goals are to achieve the former while having a deep understanding of the spiritual. While I've only tried LSD, it is in general a lot more upbeat. I believe different psychadelics provide equivalent insights but with a different feeling attached to it so you could realize the twisted parts of yourself without falling into a twisted state yourself.. if you know what I mean

@Leo Gura You said that so many times.. I guess sometimes people just gotta play with fire and get burned before really learning their lesson After your 5-meo retreat for example or any difficult trip, was there anything specific you did afterward to recover and ground yourself?

Thanks @rav for the insights! Here's my experience with the above points: 1) I also used it for around a year - daily. It definitely made me more fatigued probably because it interfered with sleep and oftentimes felt down as you mentioned. But it allowed me to meditate through the negative emotions and I usually could find a memory associated with each one, allowing me to let it go using the Sedona Method. Still on the fence about using modafinil at this point... 2) Yeah that's definitely a possibility. There's really no way of knowing I suppose, unless I actually died. The God experience did feel very real but admittedly there's no way I could confirm nor deny it. But it barely felt like a win - just an unbeatable sense of nihilism setting in - but I'm just probably projecting my own problems onto God since I've been having trouble finding/integrating love. 3) I definitely do. It was through mushrooms around 1 years ago that I was able to connect with my chakras. Ever since, when I meditate (my ability increases on mushrooms and modafinil), I can find blockages and their associated belief systems/traumas and remove them. It also becomes very evident when doing kriya yoga (haven't explored that much yet though). With my physiology now, my body literally hurts if I try to ignore a chakra imbalance. 4) It feels like recently my ego is starting to let go but not in the way I expected. I'm simply not as passionate about things and accept reality too easily I suppose. People say not to judge things but I stop judging things so much that life seems to lose direction. This is something that I'm definitely going to work on in the next while. And as you said no psychedelics and probably no modafinil Really appreciate your insight!
