@StarStruck Or maybe your body is telling you that you have a problem that needs to be fixed. You don't see lions that are allergic to zebras or monkeys that allergic to bananas. Every species has a specific diet, and our allergies and food intolerances stem from our modern way of living. It's a new phenomenon and we are just figuring out how to fix them. Organ meat contains a lot of toxins and heavy metals. I have good levels of every nutrient. I know how to fix my problem. I just need to gather the money to do so. I started this topic because i was really curious if Leo in his research found out something more than i did.

@StarStruck why?

"When bacteria are threatened they amalgamate and form biofilms which protect them from anti-microbials and provides them with sustenance for an extended period of time. So quite simply, a 30 or even a 60 day water fast is not going to kill the SIBO, or other bacterial problems in the gut".

@StarStruck nope, i eat animal products sometimes, but i see them a bit like i see dessert or junk food. It's tasty, it's very stimulating to the senses, but i do not consider it "food".

@Leo Gura Thanks. I figured out as much, but I asked you thinking that maybe in your research you would have found something that i didn't I do know that prolonged fasting is a bad idea when you have gut issues though. Your good gut flora will weaken too, and the bad stuff doesn't go away, that's certain from my research. Anecdotally, the most i did was 5 days, and i did multiple 3 day fasts back-to-back, for like a month and a half. Only temporary relief. But i'm curious how your experience will be.

I challenge you to see how ironically dogmatic is what you just said here.

@StarStruck do some serious research. emphasis on the *serious*

@The0Self A bunch of factors determine that. Such as the PH of the stomach acid, the configuration & size of organs, the length of the small intestine, colon, size and shape of teeth, type of eyes, etc. That's just from the top of my head, i'm no biology expert, butI think you need to do a lot more research. I think i need a lot more research too, it's just that i see in you, from the way you speak, someone slightly biased towards the carnivore folk, as i am towards the vegans, ofc, but I won't ever identify as a vegan or a musician or whatever, i see too much of God to do that lol. i encourage you to see past the obnoxiousness of vegans and research the hell out of what they know. I'm sure that they skew some things in their favor, like everybody does. But they are butthurt for some damn good reasons. Of course most of them are hippies and they need to integrate Green and whatever, but that's another topic. I recommend you the channels of Hench Herbivore, Gojiman, Mic The Vegan and Nutritionfacts.org for the science part and Simnett Nutrition, Pick Up Limes, Healthy Crazy Cool, as well as the ones above for how to actually eat as a vegan (once you have solved your gut issues)

They didn't eat LARGE quantities of animal products though. I believe it was less than 10-5% of total calories. And i believe dogs and wolves are actually omnivores, anatomically speaking.

@Michael569 Thanks!

@The0Self Sorry for being arrogant or mean i still believe that humans being herbivores is accurate. We are primates. And yes, other primates kill and eat each other. But they still eat mostly plants. Don't tell me that the small amount of meat that they eat is what's keeping them healthy and alive. And what we actually see in humans is that the more populations get their calories from plants, the longer they live and the healthier they are. Show me the people living 100+ years eating mostly animal products. I don't see any.

@Michael569 Thanks! Could you give me some guidelines of LF? I'm doing my own research ofc, but if you have any preferred sources i'm all for it

@The0Self Nope, it's the opposite. Everything you just said is propaganda. But of course you won't be open to what i said and will try to debate me... Oh, how tricky the mind is...

@Michael569 No,i haven't. But i'm gathering money to take those tests. I will try to, in as few words as possible, share my journey with you. I always had been sedentary as a child, and just about 5 years ago, when i was 20, i started working out, had a shoulder injury on my first day at the gym and so i started researching my ass off and so i discovered self-help, Leo, spirituality etc. Long story short i tried veganism for about 2 years. I am pretty good at researching so i did all the good things from the start, and i went all in. I knew that it would take a few weeks for the gut flora to change, so i was patient with the gas and bloating, which indeed kinda diminished after 2/4 weeks. But the months went by, and although i was feeling better than ever from certain standpoints, other symptoms were worsening. I started developing dandruff, acne, constant gas, painful bloating, and loose stool. When i eat 100% plant-based, i have to poop 7 times a day on average, and it feels like i have to go really really bad, and i only poop a little at a time. It's very annoying and disruptive. So here i am now, having gone back and forth with eating and not eating animal products, and now the symptoms are worse than ever, my allergies have gone THROUGH THE ROOF let me tell you and i feel so tired all the time no matter what i eat that i don't know what to do until i fix my problems. I mean, i think i will try a low FODMAP diet, it's just that the mental fog and the tiredness has had me post-poning shit.

"vegan" is just a term that describes what you don't eat. I can eat a diet of 100% oreos and that would technically be a "vegan" diet. But there are 2 things that you need to do in order to be healthy, food-wise, in my opinion: 1. Have your gut fixed - most people (like most animals/pets) have, or will have, some parasites or gut issues, that need to be fixed if you want to successfully eat a healthy diet, which is a whole-foods, plant-based diet. 2. Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet. Humans are undoubtedly anatomically herbivores. But we should eat a variety of plants - nuts, seeds, legumes, vegetables, fruit, whole-grains, fungi, roots and tubers should make the bulk of our calories - at least 80%. The more the better. The people in your video are either doing extreme reductionist diets, which are unhealthy, and the reason many people go vegan in the first place is because they have gut issues, and the vegan diet makes them feel worse, of course (remember, only a healthy gut can manage a plant-based diet!) so they try all sorts of stupid fad diets and get severe deficiencies on top of their gut issues! So you can see the vicious circle. I hope this answers your question. Cheers!

I'm already researching RSD's archive of old videos, but i was wondering if someone could recommend some high quality programs that i can actually buy or download.

@Elevated Thanks, man! @Spence94 I'll check them out! (and of course i care about that, i'm on the Actualized forum ) @Bando Thanks dude, great advice! @Lyubov Thanks for reminding me that even the best get rejected quite often. That actually is helpful!

@vladorion Thanks man! @PenguinPablo Awesome, dude! Thanks!

Ok so i searched on the forum a bit, and i'm gonna get some programs in the near future but my actual question would be about "closing" because i can barely find good info on that. I would like to hear at least once a sound explanation for the process of approaching a girl, all the way to sleeping with her.

This is my acid playlist. Enjoy!

@Vibroverse Yes but t's like they are different things. The more enlightened you are the more consciously you act and interact with yourself. That experience of two seemingly separate minds merging together can happen whether you're enlightened or not. Just like having an awakening doesn't change the consistency of the "physical experience".

I've experienced obvious, full-on telepathy three times, in three different instances. On mushrooms, on acid and sober, The first time it happened was on my first mushroom trip, about 3-4 years ago, and i basically had a conversation with my friend who also took the same dose as me (2 dried grams), I was having a really intense, but more inward experience, i couldn't talk at all, and he was the opposite, he was talking a lot, but at some point we realized that we were having a conversation this way! I was diving deep into some things and he was experiencing them with me, kind of being the voice of what was happening. And after the trip HE was the one that said to me "dude, you were there, right? like, i'm not just crazy" and i couldn't believe that it actually hapened. I didn't tell only a couple of people, because i thought people would think i'm crazy. The second time was with my ex-girlfriend, we were at my cabin and we were just laying in bed, after sex or something, very relaxed and it was like this psychedelic wave of heightened consciousness that hit the both of us simultaneously, and we turned to each other and said "whoaa, did you feel that?" but it lasted only a few seconds. This one felt more like what awakening glimpses feel like, but it happened to the both of us simultaneously and we SAW that we saw the same thing, or had the same experience. This was about 2 years ago. The third and final time was on acid, and this time i was with two other girl friends in nature, and we repeteatedly had moments of deep insight, and it always happened simultaneously to all of us. We would talk about all kinds of stuff, and at some point "asjgklhfasflsjaklghaljfklsha" we all would go on this trip together, that was so insightful and awake, and after each one we would all be like "there! it happened again!" It's just that we couldn't remember what the fuck were those big insights it's easier for me to remember deep trip insights if i'm alone. Having those previous experiences, i quickly realized that we were experiencing some sort of telepathy, and i communicated this to them, and it was obvious to them too that this was indeed what was happening. This made it easier for our minds to connect, and the interesting part is that i, having done much more consciousness work than them, could lead the trip, and also initiate the telepathic moments, although not perfectly. It sort of had a rhythm of it's own. This happened about a dozen times that day, i would say. So that's about it

@Adamq8 @Vibroverse Exactly! I read Leo's recent Infinite Consciousness GIF blog post only after i posted this giant ass text. And there he explained exactly what i was trying to say, but in such a masterful, clear way! That's why i started trying to put it into words. At first i stopped trying because i thought words will never do it justice and will always sound stupid. But it's like learning to sing - some of the exercises will sound horrible when you start.

So i figured that i haven't spent enough time contemplating, and this post is meant as an exercise,and also to see potential holes in my understanding. Since the first times i took acid, but especially after my 600mcg breakthrough (i've posted the trip report for anyone interested) i can access lower levels of psychedelic-like understanding all the time. My imagination just explodes with insight especially when i smoke weed but also when i'm sober (yes it's weird). This skill grows the more i become conscious, the cleaner and healthier my body gets and the more i take psychedelics. So the following is my attempt at putting into words my current experience/way of seeing things. Of course Leo's videos have influenced me A LOT, but this is all just from the top of my head. SO You/Nothingness - is like this infinitely big "room". But because it's infinitely "big" although it's Nothing, it kinda becomes an infinitely dense, infinitely complex "THING". But it's only ONE "thing", so it's not big or small, relative to something else. It's Absolutely big, and yet it's like a DOT. It's Absolutely small, and yet it's like an infinitely complex geometrical figure. it kinda lives in these two paradoxical simultaneous states of being a thing and not being a thing - infinitely complex AND infinitely simple, and every. single. fucking. distinction. anyone could possibly make AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE to infinity It's indistinguishable from nothingness, that's why science will never FIND "it". Nothingness is the floor and the ceiling of Existence all at once. And so it seemingly has two "sides" - The infinite, ever-expanding "space" and the infinite, ever-contracting "dot" (which is the inverted whole "viewed" from within-without (i'm not going to even try to explain stuff like within-without. i hope you get it) This is nonduality = duality! because we have the two parts - the whole, which is one, and the seemingly separate, which has itsef two sides - "nothingness" and "everythingness" mirroring the whole - which paradoxically creates three things, and that by the same logic it creates a fourth thing and a fifth and so on, and infinity is "born". But it's all One. Now, the tendency is to say that "here" we are INSIDE the Universe but it's nature is such that each square centimeter is infinitely filled with the ENTIRE Universe in each infinitely small point wherever you can possibly point to. it has this sort of infinite, BUT CIRCULAR geometry thing about it. So you are always inside AND outside of it (yourself). EVERYWHERE IS OUTSIDE/INSIDE YOURSELF... holy shit language just falls short anyway... Just from this perhaps you can see how something like death is false. Because it's the only thing, nothing can stop it from "running" in any dimensional direction possible. And because "outside" itself is actually "inside" itself, it actually CAN go outside itself too. It's infinite and thus It's SO FUCKIN FAST that it "catches" ITSELF and it can stand next to itself !!! And of course it positioned itself in every possible place - everywhere. And this is really where PERSPECTIVE is born. What we call "i" is standing, for lack of a better term, in the "middle", in between all of the extremes of Nothingness/Consciousness. Here we see the Infinite Pixel of God simultaneously penetrating all dimensions, being Space and every infinitely small nook and cranny of Space, occupying the entirety of Infinity. Balance. But there is also "IT'S" "perspective" which is Oneness, Stillness, Everthingness - Truth! , which is all of itself at once, which is utterly incomprehensible because from it's point of view it doesn't have to "run" anywhere or "do" anything because it is everywhere and it is everything. It's just right now it's accessing a limited part of itself, and the best we can do to kinda get that with "regular human consciousness" is that perfect "nothingness" that spiritual teachers are so in love with, and see the Oneness and Everythingness and blaaaaa but even that is so distorted and sounds so cringe to me because In order to SPEAK Absolute Truth with "human language" one would have to speak forever, for infinity! So therefore everything we say will always get stuck in an extreme of sorts.) And i see there is an ongoing Consciousness balance act or dance between that nothingness and everythingness, an that is what i would call enlightenment, even though actually, that also falls short. i have no idea what enlightenment actually is. Everything is just me/God/Infinity. With the higher dimensions (seemingly) closed, everywhere we look will always (seemingly) be duality/relative, therefore only HALF of God, so to speak (except that they're never really actually closed) In my experience, psychedelics allow access to higher/wackyer dimensions and allow you to fold language (or anything, you're ultimately folding consciousness) in a higher dimension, you get to a HIGHER Truth - relatively speaking. More information. And that Higher knowledge from the infinite library gets more and more complex in all directions, in all colors, in all sounds, all manners possible. Each more creative and innovative than the one before. SERIOUS STUFF!!! it gets more beautiful, but also more dangerous, more pleasurable, but more painful, more ugly, more blissful, more intense, more and more and MORE and MORE of EVERYTHING. To infinity... You can for example speak "languages" where one "letter" or "thought" or "artifact" is the entire possibility of human language. Trying to "obtain" this through meditation and self inquiry but never taking psychedelics is like having a knife, sharpening it everyday but never using it to cut anything ever, and saying that you don't NEED TO, because the purpose is just having a sharp knife... ok, not the best analogy but it's like wtf? So as long as you're viewing yourself from a human body, the whole Thing is mechanical it has pieces/holons - REASONS - so infinite causality is why you CAN'T access psychedelic states without psychedelics - The *reason* for the existence of this dimension is for the other ones to make sense - through contrast! So realize that everything is just the dot (you) everywhere, masqueranding as the atoms, the light, the bed, the body, the thoughts, the sounds etc. etc. and that it can anytime "stop" what it's currently doing (distorting itself, sticking it's head up it's ass thus creating YOU, jk) and see that you are the dot, radiating into your infinite self (falling in love) and you are viewing yourself, pretending to be "things" aka "not you". This is how God hides in plain sight. It won't show itself to you not because it can't, but because you won't let it, because it's you and so you're not letting yourself - because you're not open enough for infinity. Again. All this that i'm saying is not TRUTH! TRUTH can be accessed directly, and you kinda cannot speak of it, other than to say that it's Absolute, or Infinite, or Love or God or Perfect or stuff like that, and even those are distortions, that's how radical it is/you are. So where psychedelics meet self-actualization, consciousness work, spirituality, health and fitness and sex and all aspects of your life is this: In order for psychedelics to work the best with the body, it must be in a certain pristine state - this is what "spiritual purification" is partly about. This is also what "spiritual healing" is all about. It's not that consciousness work heals the body - it indirectly heals the body by making you more aware of the shit that isn't working well and it makes you open and wise and proactive in making things better in every aspect of life, so you go and research your ass off and you fix your gut issues, get the heavy metals out of your brain, feed the body an abundance of CLEAN SOURCES for ALL the vitamins, minerals, essential polyunsaturated fats, water, exercise social&sex stuff, LP etc. etc. etc. And you get all your metaphysics of God/You/infinity/Love in order, you meditate, do inquiry etc. and multiply to infinity, accelerate accelerate accelerate and *then* psychedelics will show you stuff that is truly next level, because it reflects just how amazing and next level you already are (infinite acceleration). And in this way of being that i just described, you're living life in such a divine reflection of your true Being - which is just ... infinite beauty it's so... IT'S SO BRUTALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! lmao Can you see the dot everywhere? I'm not saying that the point is to see the point everywhere. In fact, at this point i could go on about the point of the point, but i see no point in that, since believe i made sufficient points about the point of the point of the point analogy. (even the letter "i" is a point with a line, that is made out of points... ) Ok ok ok so now everything that i just said i fold in a higher dimension and it becomes a single non-verbal thought, and i forget about the dot and i just see infinity in everything. I see the linear-circular-ness of everything. See how every single little "thing" is simultaneously the biggest/smallest thing. See how no thing is actually A thing, but THE thing - God/You/etc. And something very funny happens, Everything people say suddenly has something strange, something personal about it, every sound, everything that enters "awarenes" is so special and intelligent and deliberate and Perfect! And it's always like this, except that when you're not uber conscious of it, it doesn't seem this way at all. I'm gonna stop there really hope that this helps some of you. You can do anything. Cheers! (see you on the other side!)

this is the perspective you're not open about. Are you open to the possibility of it being false?
