I just thought about how the degree of consciousness is closely related to health. As I experience cognitive issues, low clarity and peace of mind, an racing mind with constant daydreaming, it makes it clear to me, that good health is the prerequisite for achieving awakening. Further, health can be seen as the degree of awakening itself. If there is lack of energy, lack of stability in the body-mind system, if there is pain and other more subtle forms of discomfort, awakening can become impossible. It's not about having a individual healthy body. It's about shifting the state of Being itself to be God-like. The more energy, the more harmony, the more well-being, the more concentration, the more clarity, the more peace of mind there is, the deeper life can be grasped. While fatigue, sleepiness, dissonance, discomfort, scattering of attention, confusion, conflict are symptoms of illness and hinder awakening, truthfulness and insight. In this sense the quest for spiritual awakening and Oneness seems to be mostly the quest for the ultimate health of the universe. Of course there is more, like epistemology, open-mindedness, discipline, austerity, genetics, karma,... So, maybe this notion is incomplete. But still, I think the importance of Health with an capital H, as an overarching component of development is overlooked.

I recently had the experience of letting go of an attachment, in the form of clinging to savings, and can see what you wrote. How would you say, should one go about building a great life and not getting attached to goals? Of course this is different than pure awakening.

Should illness be accepted as Life's will? I' mean I still will fight for my health, but what comes out of it is what God or Life wants.

Making it out alive? How that?

In this case fasting should lead to higher vitality.

How do you know?

One could say so. God must by definition encompass everything. But you know what I mean. There are prerequisites for awakening. There are good states and bad states, the way nature laid it out, the way Life wants it.

@Sugarcoat Someone in a healthy state of consciousness cannot get suicidal, except people trying to do something like Mahasamadhi or radical people like jihadist who are sure to enter into a glorious afterlife. If you get suicidal thoughts, you either have some persistent physical ailment (heavy metals, chronic infections, hormonal imbalances ..) or psychological stress (bullying, poverty, loneliness, nihilism, ...) that you deem to be extremely hard to overcome or don't even see a way to overcome. If you have a healthy body and your needs are sufficiently met, you have radiant wellbeing in your body and happy emotions leading to constructive thoughts. There is no way for suicidal thoughts. Only when you experience persistent suffering and have little to no hope for relsolve than suicidal thoughts creep in as a self destruction mechanism, because the human system is geared towards wellbeing.

If everything that was experienced in this human life was just a infinitesimal spec of the infinite possibilities that are contained in the absolute, shouldn't my endeavor be to explore unfamiliar alien dimensions, so to really know life? Why should the experience after this human one be another human one. It could be something totally different, with different natural laws, different dimensions, not imaginable right now.

Oh, yeah, I was thinking about that too. Deep sleep = nothingness It is not an assumption, because I can witness newness right now. It is amazing, but terrifying too and not fully accepted by the world, far from it

True, there is no future I just have a hard time grasping the implications of infinity

It makes sense to go into nothingness. But then again, here in the eternal moment, right now, there is something going on and it comes out of nothing I will go Chances are high that something new will spring forth

It's not a question of a external world, rather than an exercise in openmindedness. My question has to do with what Mind will be imagining next. Maybe I'm just tired of my life and want to experience more, more than my human experience holds.

For real, what will come after this human being I can not know. But drawing from all possibilities of consciousness, and I don't know them entirely either, isn't it naive to anthropomorphize life?

Just wanted to ponder this thought here. It is nothing more than a thought, since I do not know what will come after

Just to clarify: I never had an breakthrough with 5-MeO-DMT. Nor to I feel stable enough.

Hello forum I need some advice on my chronic illness problem concerning heavy metals (again) For reference I link two older posts I made: 1. The Cutler Protocol failed to cure my problems after 80+ rounds and had heavy side effects 2. Out of desperation I took cilantro juice + binders for two months, then switched back to the Cutler Protocol and had a health downfall after that Half a year after my incident with cilantro juice, as seen in the second topic, my health restabilized again. It was possible to make some progress in my life and things went better again. Still I had problems with reoccurring fatigue, attention deficit, being intellectually on the slow side and being overly-neurotic. After working on my gut health, my liver health and doing some parasite cleansing, I decided to restart my endeavor of chelating heavy metals again. Because the Cutler Protocol with DMPS and ALA was way too high in side effects and did not bring much gain and cilantro brought me half a year of severe health problems I was on the lookout for a new approach and researched deeper. I found this chelator called NBMI otherwise known as OSR-1 or Irminix. As I read reports of people using it in a frequent low dose way, as developed by Andrew Cutler, and having little side effects with it, i choose to give it a try. First round with 15mg went quite well. Side effects where less dominant then with ALA or DMPS. Sporadically, they included headaches, being emotionally volatile, being neurotic, having slight anxiety in the evening and hearing a hissing noise. Some rounds there where little to no acute side effects, which surprised me. I was very happy to see that after years I found a method, that I managed to live a functional life besides. My general mental health was declining though, as always when I do chelation. I saw that the side effects had some impact on my life, but this impact was still small. After six rounds, everything seemed to go hunky-dory. But the next three rounds had increased side effects that came after them. After the last and 10th one I was impacted heavily. I was forgetful, confused, very undecided and felt weak. As a side note, the downfall started after being bitten by some ticks, but a test for a lyme's infection was negative. Normally after Cutler Rounds, side effects would slowly subside after 1-3 weeks for me. But this time, they even worsened. I am more cognitively impaired, it is harder for me to organize my life. The worst is, that a month ago I even got suicidal thoughts. My mind furthers the idea of ending this life, organizing how and when to do it and what steps to go until the final day. I have problems now with being mentally even slower than before, having intrusive thoughts, having difficulties with getting out of bed, feeling suicidal and tired of life. Looking back, I felt amazingly good after removing my amalgams and taking antioxidants and minerals. Compared to this short time span after removal, starting with chelation five years ago, my state got worse, I lost creativity, energy, happiness and cognitive function. There are still things I know of that could be the culprit: - Some chronic infections, I did not test for which block the ability to excrete heavy metals - Some other detox blockage - Some immune defect, maybe metal allergy or something else - Some other factor I am unaware of I know, this is kind of a rant, but given this information, maybe someone can give me valuable information. I would be very very thankful.

I was bitten by around nine ticks in 2022 and had a health breakdown afterwards including a slight fever and shivering which was so intense that I went to the hospital. I became slightly sick a couple of times afterwards and my general problems with emotional instability, ADHD and digestive health became worse. At the same time, I did heavy metal detoxing too, which went fine until then. First I attributed the decline in health to that. Only some time later I became conscious about the possible connection between the ticks and my decline in health. Couple months later I did a blood test for the most common chronic conditions including lyme, but it came back negative. A similar thing happened this year. Got bitten by couple of ticks. My health declined afterwards again. Went to a doctor for a lyme test. Came back negative. My rant maybe of no value. But here some recommendations: Don't go though high grass or woods, especially if you see wildlife around. Check your whole body at least every night before bed, this includes getting two mirror to look at every bit of your body Use some repellent, but please no toxic chemicals that damage your body Get one of those: https://www.amazon.co.uk/geo-versand-Tick-Tweezers-Removal-Geocaching/dp/B07F3DQQMC

LOL

If there is only one self, why am I surprised with the action of other people. If the one self is creating everything, including all beings, why is there confusion about the motives of these beings? I can go to some person and ask them a question, but why am I unsure about the answer, If I am supposedly creating that exact answer. Isn't it, that with absolute solipsism everything must be totally predictable. Why are the self's own creations unpredictable to the self?

So, that means, on very high states of consciousness, everyday conversations feel like talking to yourself?

Experience shows me that I'm bad at handling conflict with others. Be it coworkers, family or friends. If someone is opposed to something I did or there are arguments I can't really handle it emotionally. My first instinct is to not give anyone any surface, to be somewhat ignorant. Even if I stood up for myself, I have strong emotions that run my mind afterwards. My knees get shaky and I feel resentment. Are there techniques to get better with handling confrontations and be calm during it?

@Human Mint This is conflict

This is the aftermath of conflict

Good point What do you mean with bursting your own bubble?
