@StarStruck i also liked subway the first time i tried it. Eat it 2-3 times and you realize that it's also garbage.

@intotheblack let's say i give 10 euros. I will not even get full. I will regret the moment i bought this garbage because it tastes like shit. Then i will spend the next 4 hours feeling a rock in my stomach. With 10 euros i could get really full eating almost anything else that could at least taste amazing. That said i eat junk food takeaways very rarely the last years.

I love high quality junk food. I don't understand how people are still eating from mcdonalds. It doesn't even taste good. Why choose mcdonalds when there are so many options that at the very least taste good. Overpriced garbage.

@Frosty97 haha. Yes also learning about this for the first time. I'm not going to bother with this. A bit too risky.

You can't just deconstruct things with logic. It's not enough. There's no illusion of the present. Describing the present is not the same as experiencing the present.

@Frosty97 you are right you did gave a warning about this. At the same time this is clearly about sourcing. Do a Google search of what vignan posted and then let it go.

I don't know these things. There was an extremely detailed answer already. It's too complicated and dangerous. This goes against forum guidelines.

Now is exactly this ever changing and ever moving. You can experience the now when you are ready to let go of the need to have a past and a future. Past and future are the ego. There is no past and future. Only now. You don't take screenshots you just flow. You are not identified with your thoughts and feelings. You are just being. You are the observer always. You may ask a question. Who is watching the question that is being asked? Where did the question came from? There is a gap of no thought. Your sense of self expands. The gap becomes larger. You can feel it in the body. You live eventually in this gap. To do this takes work and no thought or feeling should stay unobserved. You identify the 1000 forms of ego and letting them go as much as you can. Transforming them to this meta feeling. I'm not talking about a daily 30' practice. I mean that you take it seriously and this is how you live from now on. When you practice this enough you can actually choose to take a leap and decide or realize that there is no past or future from now on. Past and future are the building blocks of yourself. You are not living only in the now because your ego would collapse. Now is what remains after this happens. The more you deconstruct the more the now itself you become. The more you realize that everything is made of the same 'material'. But this started going over my head. I don't really have a definition and i don't want to parrot things that i haven't experienced. This is nothing like my experience at the moment just to be clear. Only because i believe in my fantasies of a past and future that i get absorbed in.

The problem is the you that wants to take screenshots of the present moment and capture it. The moving and changing, the flow of everything is the present moment. The moment you take a screenshot it becomes the past. The past and the future are nothing but imagination that happens always in the now that is flowing.

It's just you being with all the bs removed.

There are always things you can improve. Work on them. Work on your health, fitness, emotional stability, traumas and spirituality. If you feel good inside you will radiate outside. Work on yourself so much that you feel so good that your eyes are like flames revealing your soul. Everyone will see beauty in you no matter how you look. Work on each insecurity one by one taking every step you can take to change everything you can change and accept fully everything that you can't.

Find someone that already knows how. I don't think that is very safe if you don't know what you are doing and also this is not the right place to ask about this.

@Ora thank you but is it even possible to make a breath pattern without any pauses habitual? Or is this just an exercise? Should i take deep breaths or is this not necessary?

https://wayofleaf.com/blog/strictest-cannabis-laws-in-the-world This is a fucking joke. How long until psychedelics in general become legal?

@sholomar i'll make sure to read the open focus brain book. Thank you for your answer @TreyMoney i already breathe from my nose only. I don't feel that is deep enough and that i should learn the proper way to breath and practice it until it becomes natural @Edaryion thank you for the detailed answer but i still have some questions. How deep into the belly should i breathe? All the way down to the genitals? Is it enough to just expand the belly? Shouldn't the expansion of the belly be followed by an expansion of solar plexus and chest? Should i visualize something to get the right feeling of proper breathing until it becomes natural? Please do recommend some books! I can't keep ignoring this. I do understand the importance of proper breathing for a better life quality. Slow and little sounds controversial. Why is that the case?

It's good that at least there is some movement but it really feels painfully slow. I mean not even freekin weed is legal that everyone at least in Europe is consuming. I still see stupid newspaper articles saying half a kilo of weed was found and stuff like that and i roll my eyes. Like congrats be happy with your stupidity while police is letting dealers deal heroine. I am pro psychedelics and i tried some but i have limited experience. Even i had until recently a bit of stigma left because of skipping those psychedelics videos. This almost makes me angry. I am addicted to cigarettes and let's say that i'm too weak at the moment to quit. I could take some mushrooms that could help me with that. But no this shit is illegal. If i want to try psychedelics i need to go travel and spend so much money or connect with people i don't like to get something that i don't know if it's pure or garbage. I have to have a fear of even smoking weed. Not even mentioning the countries that face a death sentence because of smoking weed. This is funny but also it isn't. Like when will all those countries become free? Ultimately this is just one perspective of reality right? Everything is what it is but it kind of hit me once again yesterday as why the world is so fucked up and what needs to happen for the least advanced places of the world to evolve.

What i meant is that instead of eating this stuff regularly better eat meat because it's healthier. Unless you are able to stick to the healthy vegan stuff most of the time.

A perfect mastery example. He is going all in.

Well in my case when i was vegan for about a year or a bit less they offered the illusion that i was eating something that resembles meat again. A junk food break from just legumes and tofu. Some of them don't taste so bad because of how much you miss the taste of meat but still they are unhealthy junk.

They are highly processed foods. If you eat this stuff very often it's unhealthy. In the case you value your own health more than veganism better eat meat sometimes. That said they are not bad in taste and they are getting better. If a healthy vegan eats them once in a while they are a great junk food. You just can't call that healthy food.

At first i wrote a huge ass post with my life history and questions i have. I will not post it because i will end up hiding it. The last video made alot of things clearer for me. I look at my life and it looks too surreal to not be written by me. I get it as an idea. I wanted to ask many questions but i realized that this is the one i'm most interested in. Will i be able to enjoy life as human while being god? I had an awakening before maybe only because of luck. It was a deep one but i still believed in people even though i could see that we are the same. Not going to write details about stuff. When i was in that state after a point and some events and situations i desperately wanted to return to normal at any cost. I did. How is it to live as god? Can you enjoy a video game as god? Or do stupid stuff? Or life is meaningless and you can't have fun in the illusion? If this is the case why would i want it? I can say that i want it but do i really? Are there prerequisites of realizing god in a healthy way if that makes sense?

@Leo Gura thank you very much for the answer! I really appreciate it.

In my experience it's the best thing you can do for your health, energy and brain. Doing cold showers for many months now and they changed my life.

What is humor in the metaphysical sense? I feel that this is a major component that is missing.

I appreciate this stuff that's why i am here. I'm not going to deny that my current state is pretty much egoic. You mentioned in the past that if someone hasn't taken care of survival then this is the only thing they should be doing. Should i half ass do spiritual work? I only had an awakening because at the time i was dead serious about it. I feel that if i am not all in at this i'll just waste my time. I have no access to psychedelics but i want to trip when i have the chance. What will help me to reach a point where i REALLY want to understand everything? I do but not with a burning desire to go all in and find out. I am stuck with ego desires that have to do with survival. At least i can observe them, or discover some of my self deception through your videos and also able to admit sometimes that i am wrong. That means that i'm ego stuck but only loosely. Still i feel i am at this lower stage. So where do i start and where do i focus on? Which path leads me to realize god? I know that there are hundreds of hours of videos explaining everything. I would really appreciate a simple roadmap/explanation for a 5 year old. I can figure out the details by myself. Is it spiral dynamics? Is it reading hundreds of books or doing many psychedelics? There is a ton of amazing insights that you provided us but i honestly don't know how to proceed. Should i just do randomly different practices and a bit of everything or focus in one area at a time like escaping wave slavery or only health or whatever?
