Mad honey is a neurotoxin. I know this was probably a joke but yeah.

Yeah I think sticking to one or two is best. Usually to calm the mind I do meta for 10ish minutes , loving kindness, feel it connects me to love which I'm severely lacking , and then I either do vipassana or shiktanza (do-nothing, pretty much similar to vipassana with more open ended field of focus). Like if in vipassana you're picking one sense , maybe sound, with do nothing you're doing vipassana on the whole field. Although for a daily practice I do wonder if I should learn sadhguru's technique, because 20 minutes of daily meditation might not do anything, but 20 minutes of isha kriya might do something. And do vipassana / do nothing on retreat when I have tens of hours to practice

I found an ENTP book , which is pretty rare, and within the second chapter it was saying my dominant function is extroverted thinking 🗿 I think I'm gonna check out that INTP book.... good mbti books are rare and good ENTP books seem nonexistent .

Eh ketamine makes me feel dirty. And I get this weird rebound effect where I'm super chill during the trip and then super anxious when I get off it. Same as dxm, also a dissociative .

I feel like one of the most enlightened theoreticians on the planet but meditating all day for 7 days showed me how much truth, peace and joy I'm missing by being in my head all the time. I think when I'm contemplating I should really start asking myself "but do I KNOW this is true? Or is it just a really compelling intuitive hunch?" -

Great vow zen monastery if you can afford it. Or any zen center with sesshin. Vipassana is all meditation, no dialogue. But it's the most hardcore. -

If you're very disciplined , or very desparate, you can do at home. I'm an extrovert so having a group really helps me. when I'm at home I don't feel like meditating , cause I know it won't do anything, but that's a self fulfilling prophesy -
Do you think me , an ENTP, would get value reading the INTP book? We have the same cognitive functions, they're just in a different order.

My advice to anyone who hasn't tried drugs yet would be just don't. Take psychedelics occasionally, fuck the rest. Don't end up like me, and I'm not even that bad, but still. It will eat your soul from the inside out. I feel like all the spiritual work I do is compensating for my addiction. Fuck do I need to go to rehab? That to me would be way, way scarier than spending a week meditating 10 hours a day. I genuinely am shocked I ever got to this point. It snuck up on me in the last year . When I relapsed immediately after my retreat, that's how I found out just how hooked I was. The fact that my brain even wants to entertain fantasies of doing harder stuff is a huge red flag, and honestly terrifying.

My kratom use has gotten way out of control, I spend up to $50 a day and now I'm catching myself fantasizing about how aesthetic it would be to nod out on real opioids.... time to stop. Somehow even though the retreat didnt fix my addiction I feel it gave me more power to choose where I direct my energy.

You're joking right ? 🗿

@Deziree Great Vow Zen Monastery outside of Portland, OR, has Sesshin (7 day retreat) every month. When I went they had a teacher named Jogen there, he was super dope. I asked him at one of his talks about something he said earlier. Talking about how loving kindness was powerful enough to change the world. I pressed him on this, asked him for concrete examples of how it could change the world. He said there is no "the world," just "your world." I already knew this , of course. But in that moment I didn't. I actually think the most powerful techniques are 1) just trying to earnestly figure out what's true at all times 2) DMTs 3) retreats

Meditation is harder, psychedelics are scarier. I wonder if you do a lot of meditation retreats you can hone your psychic ability. I want to go to the casino lmao.

The only psychedelic I've found that works for me is DMT, which I don't have regular access too. Mushrooms and lsd are pretty much just recreational drugs to me at this point, so I'm committed to doing more hardcore meditation retreats . At my first one I got my first big awakening since I did dmt 2 1/2 years ago.

Sex on its own is a low consciousness pursuit but sex with intimacy leads to more Love which leads to Truth. so I think if you want to realize Truth, having sex could lead you to that.

Gpt o3 Will’s Eightfold Ontological Cascade Truth Definition. Truth is posited as the aphilos (ἀφιλός) or underived principle: non-dual, trans-categorical, and ontologically prior to all modal determinations. Function. It serves as the necessary and sufficient ground (grund) for all subsequent instantiations without itself being conditioned. Analogues. Plotinian Hen, Advaitic nirguṇa Brahman, and the medieval concept of ipsum esse subsistens. 2. Love Definition. Love is construed as the primal energetic differentiation within Truth—a vectorial self-expression rather than an affective state. Dependency. Love presupposes Truth as its ontic substrate while introducing relationality (pros hen). Analogues. Eriugena’s processio, the Neoplatonic eros of Porphyry, and Schelling’s Ungrund in its dynamic aspect. 3. God Definition. God denotes the reflexive self-awareness of Love, i.e., the moment at which the self-expressive impulse becomes cognitively luminous. Dependency. God is intelligible only as Love’s self-recognition; devoid of Love, “God” lapses into a reified abstraction. Analogues. Saguna Brahman, Proclean Nous, and the Hegelian Geist in its logical immediacy. 4. Intelligence Definition. Intelligence is the formal, law-like articulation (logos) operative within consciousness—responsible for order, teleology, and coherent differentiation. Dependency. As the structuring principle, Intelligence presumes consciousness for its intentional domain yet informs it with determinate relations. Analogues. Anaxagorean Nous, Whiteheadian Eternal Objects, and Peircean Thirdness. 5. Consciousness Definition. Consciousness is the phenomenological field in which the God-relation is instantiated as the possibility of experience. Dependency. It relies on God as its transcendental condition of givenness while providing the site for individuation. Analogues. Husserlian Lebenswelt (in a broadened sense) and Aurobindo’s Supermind prior to its partitioning. 6. Contact Definition. Contact designates the bidirectional interface between finite centers of awareness and the infinite ground—phenomenologically manifest as mystical union or noetic intuition. Dependency. It presupposes Intelligence (for cognitive tractability) and simultaneously re-opens the finite to its infinite antecedent. Analogues. Nishitani’s prajñāic breakthrough and Plotinus’ epistrophe. 7. Perception Definition. Perception is the concretized act whereby contact yields determinate appearances—qualia imbued with intelligible form. Dependency. It is conditioned by contact for its transcendental horizon and by intelligence for its categorial organization. Analogues. Kantian Anschauung after the application of the categories; Merleau-Ponty’s perceptual faith. 8. Being Definition. Being is the enacted actuality of entities within spatio-temporal horizons—the terminus of the cascading articulation of the Absolute. Dependency. Being integrates all prior stages as constitutive dimensions of its manifestation; absent these, “existence” remains conceptually vacuous. Analogues. Heideggerian Sein-als-Anwesenheit and Aquinas’ participatio entis. Systemic Dynamics Although presented linearly for analytic clarity, the model is recursive: perceptual Being can initiate a dialectical return (ἐπιστροφή) through re-activation of Contact, culminating in re-cognition of Truth. Thus, the schema supports both emanationist and reintegrative interpretations.

@integral blue and green have both severely restricted our sexualities. Blue primailry repressed feminine sexuality and green repressed masculine sexuality. The result is sex that is either completely sterile or perverse to the point of disgust. I think the fastest way to get good at sex is to reach tier two.

Love is Oneness. It's expressed differently by the masculine and feminine. Masculine will call you out on your bullshit , Feminine will listen and hold space. Both are love. even if you don't like the chakra system, it's pretty much universally recognized the heart is where cosmic and earth energies meet. Oneness. That guru was going against thousands of years of tradition (not necessarily wrong though).

Because chasing endless hot new ass is ultimately unsatisfying, even the biggest players usually eventually snap out of it. A conscious man either has a long term relationship or becomes a monk, in my opinion.

Where do you think the courage to fight originates? Love of home, family, etc.
