if you are depressed you need deep rest

@Being Frank Yang you always give the best analogies love bro

the question is: is it possible to feel like i'm always on MDMA ? is that called enlightenment / samadhi ? the story is: i took MDMA, half a pill, 140 ug (i think) and yes i took it at a festival BUT i meditated my way into it and through it.

What is worse to do, a small dose (not a micro) of MDMA or psychedelics once per week or to drink five or six alcoholic drinks once a week ? I work in a nightclub so sometimes it's hard to stay sober when everyone around you is drunk so i'm guessing i'm chasing some peychedelic peak or state - which may be wrong of me so you can call me out on that too

all of you gave amazing responses, thank you so much @Godishere i did try them both

@EddieEddie1995 i'mm dm you my whatsapp now

@Nahm don't get it, what is the "it" I don't even have the capacity to get this intellectually let alone experientially or realisation

i guess my confusion is here: i think that by increasing consciousness i will automatically increase the "feeling" of happiness/love/bliss but this isn't entirely true is it

not too great if i don't exercise, sometimes lazy, sometimes not. when i'm sober i feel less conscious than when i'm on something and higher consciousness is like.. "non-addictively ADDICTIVE" if you get what i mean ?

@The0Self can you explain from personal direct experience what they feel ike and how long it took you to access them and what you did to access them which meditation specifically or which method/practice and any books / posts / videos explaining how they work or what they actually are ? @The0Self @The0Self@The0Self

how many jhanas can you access ? any books / posts / videos explaining how they work or what they actually are ?

@Leo Gura how can i sustain a psychedelic peak ? 7/8th jhana ? kundalini breathing ? or is it that I have to be comfortable with negative experiences/pain because they are inevitable ? i just wanna feel love all the time.

what would be a non addictive substance i could use which is better / healthier than alcohol to use instead of alcohol ?

@Logan was thinking mahbe of doing frank yangs kundaliji breathing thjng

@Logan was thinking the same

eastern medicine shamanic healing sound heeling non physical heeling eg emotional / visualisation / psychedelics ? physicsl heeling - grounding perhaps i saw someone made a post sleeping as well maybe ?

so I just sit there and have a question in mind like "who am I" or "what is" and think about it ? and that's supposed to be the best way to incr condciousness according to peter ralston ?

IMO so far: increasing consciousness (apparently) getting enlightened (whatever this means) meditating aka being (being content in the now) creating your life purpose / contributing to society reading "good" books exploring the world / creating new types of experiences

@Terell Kirby idk who's right actually because when you find god you might not lose him anymore but from your side ofcourse relative shit has no Truth and we must feed ourselves @OneIntoOne "him" dont think "he" would label himself bro, ask a dog or a leaf what it/he is

i realized i only started meditating after green tea / caffeine / sex / after jiu jitsu cause there is like an endorpgin rush or whenever i feel good should i also meditate when i don't feel so good ? what you guys think

so I understand that equanimity is something like if you are experiencing pain you do not resist it and you let it happen because it is happening already and resisting it will equal to suffering I think I understand what concentration is, it is just focusing on X but what is the difference between concentration and clarity And could someone give me an example

@Consilience need to re read this later thank you

@Nahm what's wrroooong witchaaa nowwwwwww ??? jk i love you

Everything sort of seems selfish and meaningless, I think in fact the only desire that I can have is to either wake up fully a.k.a. enlightenment or the desire to help others wake up fully aka enlightenment My life is rich in experience but i don't find anything meaningful enough to give my life to (to master) i did the course twice bump
