No matter what you are experiencing, notice that you can always focus on the breath. Breath deeply. Remember always that you and the medicine know exactly what to work on, so everything you are experiencing is bulls eye. Flow with what ever arises - visuals, feelings, body sensations, mental formations - let it all be as it is. You are very lucky to have this journey, I wish you a profound session.

Well, you can also do Ayahuasca, and if you are open to the Truth it will show You that You are the only "nothing-thing" that exists, which plays with himself forever and ever. Actually You can get it without any substance, but it is rare because a Westerner's mind is so rigid and full of conceptual knowledge and connections, so for most it is impossible to see through all the conceptual realm and relativity that actually You are all alone.

I love the buzz that the video gets, it really does deserve it. It is a work of art.

No, I am very stable mentally. I also like Psychology, but a lot of it is way too conceptual for my taste. Even the diagnosis of Bi-polar disorder is an analytical stretch. There are different ways to emotionally relate to circumstances, and different patterns of relating. Trying to pinpoint a psychological pattern of relating to a certain circumstances is too inclusive when it comes to personal diagnosis. In other words, there can be many individuals who will fall under the term of Bi-polarity, but the reason for their behavior and the appropriate treatment is extremely varied. I would seriously doubt how many of the comments that claim that video is life changing, are genuine.

Lol, you guys don't get it. If you haven't awakened to the truth in the video, you don't want to watch the video. If you have awakened to it, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not. The video is entertainment for the awakened, and a disaster for the seeker who seeks awakening.

Yes. I was diagnosed with ROMC. That stands for Radical Open Mindedness and Concentration.

You haven't watched it, so you don't really know. This video can literally induce deep awakening for the open minded. It is what all the spiritual teachers or gurus are hiding from seekers, because they fear they will run from them. Thus they feed them on meditation and contemplation practices, shadow work and what not. All those teachers were not capable to sell their Programs/Workshops/Intensives/Retreats/Apps if they told seekers that the teacher itself is a figment of mind. I'm actually glad that Leo took down the video. It is too good.

That video was gold. Hit the nail right on the head. The awakening to the self/other illusion is unbelievable.

First of all, suicide is futile. It is just another way of getting to an alleged better state or experience. What you are missing is that every experience and every state, including death or blissful ecstasy, only appears within that which is already perfect, free, blissful, complete, happy. Your longing for better state is precisely how Absolute Freedom expresses itself. So it does not matter what you will do, it will never get you anything. Second, no, your parents will not suffer because there is no you to begin with. All relationships are illusion. Your parents are Nothing, pretending to be some separate form, which can form bonds with other forms, just like you. However, within this illusion of relationship suffering may arise due to the attachment to relationships. When Nothing is formed as a human organism, it tends to fall under the spell of separateness, which "hides" the simple truth that everything that exists is how Nothing manifests. In other words, you and your parents are not really separate, but suffering or emotional pain can appear to happen, although no one really suffer. Third, life is mystery dancing as form. There is nothing to gain or get or acheive from it. You can either fight the dance and try to create the next better state or experience, or surrender to what already is, which is the case, and let life continue its dance without separateness and seeking.

Exactly. This communication is from no one to no one, and it only describes what is appearing to be the case here.

Cowabonga! Nothing is dancing.

There are only perceptions but no one perceives them. Which is the same as saying as there are only appearances, which appear to no one. If we investigate it analytically, experience is just a function of survival. Organisms perceives their surrounding for survival purposes. There is no other reason for heaving eyes, nose, ears, feeling sensations, taste buds. If we inspect other organisms, such as trees and plants, we see that they lack most of the perceptive faculties that more complex organisms posses, simply because they usually don't need them for their survival. So experience is a mere side effect of the existence of a life form, and the faculties themselves are shaped around the survival mechanics and surroundings of that specific life form. But this is only how it manifests in our perception. If we inspect perception from within, it is obvious that there is nothing other than perception or appearance, and everything else (experience, experiencer, perceiver, witness, survival, organisms, etc.) are just stories in the mind (which is also only a perception). When the "me" or the "I" thought is created, then perceptions are all organized, interpreted and given value or meaning in the context of "my life story", that perceptions are happening to some entity that is "me" or "I". And so a dualistic illusion is birthed, where the body-mind (which are perceptions/appearances) are thought to be the subject of experience, whereas everything else (the world, others and objects) are thought to be the objects of experience.

No, the assumption that Nothing is the absence of existence is false. Nothing is not the absence of anything, because it is not any thing at all. If it would, it would be a thing - a thing that is absent of anything, like space with no objects. But the nothing that is spoken of is not any thing at all, nor is it the absence of anything. It is nothing, undefinable, unknowable, undistinguishable, unspeakable, ineffable. It is Absolute and so cannot be distinct from anything that is relative. It is space-less space, or no-space space. It doesn't exist, because it is existence. There is no real distinction between Nothing and Everything, only in mind. Any thing that exist, exists as and within Nothing. Nothing has no quality, which is why it can manifest as everything. Identification is a process, so even identifying with Nothing will be another false method used by the imagined self to appropriate liberation to itself. Nothing does not need identification because it is already complete, perfect, free and whole as it is. Only when it manifest as a separate self, it seems to be not perfect, not complete, not free. But the separate identity, or the process of identifying and being bounded by mind, is exactly one of the ways that freedom, happiness, creativity, and wholeness manifests as. Nothing is a complete mystery and magic to the individual. The individual will never grasp Nothing, because it is already is Nothing, expressed as individual seeking for completeness or enlightenment. In other words, what is truly longed and yearned for is already what is. But the individual will continue to seek and long for some better experience or state until it is recognized that it is already that which it seeks.

Newman and Parsons take no prisoners

Being directed by God? You could have stopped after "just something that is happening".

Who is observing? Who is not in control? Who is walking with a smile?

There is no "You". You is a conceptual story in the mind. So a "you" cannot maintain anything, nor can it take a psychedelic. The illusion is that there is a "me" that is taking a Psychedelics, whereas in fact no one takes a psychedelic. There is the appearance of a body, and illusory appearance of a "me" story, but only the body consumes the appearance of some psychedelic. This brings about a change in the appearance of the "me", which causes the radical or substantial change in the appearance of life. The "me" story contracts Consciousness into a certain state, and the Psychedelic may relieve Consciousness of this tension in the appropriate setting, but it can also cause a greater tension if the "me" is fighting to preserve its mental formation. This is also why in many trips there is a relief of tension in the body. When the identification activity with the body (the "meness") is reduced or stops, than the holding on to the body reduces as well. So yes, Psychedelics brings insight into the nature of mind, emotion, and the appearance of the "me" character/mental suit. If the "me" fall off completely, it is revealed that there never was a "me", that it was a dream/illusion. But no one reveals it or realizes it.

There is no "You" and "I". There is nothing to see. Those are just mental musings and gymnastics. There is no one here to realize god. This is precisely the illusion. Bodies happen. Communication between bodies happen. They happen to no one.

We are not an ego. That is a false assumption. There is conditioning of mind patterns, nothing more. Other than this, there is no one here. No one is communicating with no one. There is just communication between experiences. Feelings are expressed through various means, facial expression is just one of them. Experiences communicate through facial expressions, yes. That happens.

A "me" will never understand or digest non-duality. But You can start by watching the "me", and all the thoughts, beliefs, memories that relate to this "me" that seeks non-duality. False self will never, ever, realize real Self. Consciousness "awakens" by unravelling the false identity it is identified with. Regarding navigating reality and adopting more efficient states of mind and emotion - this is about transforming your experience of life. You can choose how to relate to circumstances, and which emotion to produce. This is rather complex work because we adopt so much different ways of relating, and we adopt the self that we relate things to. So inquiring into self-views, beliefs and emotions is about changing your experience of life. Psychological treatment can help with revealing traumatic memories that produce "negative" states, but meditation, contemplation and psychedelics can also reveal deeply and right to the core the rigging of self, mind and emotion. I would suggest doing Enlightenment work and Transformation work together, they supplement each other. Awakening can reveal that You are neither self, nor mind or body, and empowers the possibility of changing them all. Working on beliefs, traumas, depressed emotions can release much of the things that hold you back from having the experience you want.

Burning sensations (or other sensations) in energy centers (or "Chakras") are quite common when meditating. You can sense them even just by focusing the attention on those centers (crown of the head, between the eyebrows, throat, center of the chest, solar plexus, beneath the naval, and at the perineum). Anyway, physical effects while meditating can happen because You affect the structure of the mind. And the mind affect the body (they are two sides of the same coin). It is more likely to happen if you touch on some core assumption or belief regarding who or what you are.

Time exists only in the Now..

The image of the brain is how the finite mind appears as a perception in the finite mind. So it is entirely reasonable that you can affect the mind by messing with it's appearance in the perceptive faculties. The brain is not the source of thoughts. Only Consciousness can create the possibility for thought to arise within it. The brain is just the image of how this possibility comes about in human form. Remember: perceptions are always indirect and can only reflect what is.

Belief is a formulation of thought, which is an activity of mind. A belief is a conceptual replacement for the truth. Belief is about holding something as truth, without it being the case. Belief, by it's nature and purpose cannot be the truth. Belief comes in the place of becoming conscious of the truth. You can either believe some thing to be true, or you can become conscious of it. This is also why belief is extremely dangerous. It is blocking you from becoming conscious of what the truth really is. This is also why religions has failed miserably throughout ages, and will continue to fail.

Stop with the intellectual musings. Don't fall for mind identification, and become conscious. There is no "my" Consciousness, that is a story in a mind. When dream happens in night sleep, to whom do they appear? To whom, what or within the most psychedelic visions appear? Reflect on your entire life experience up until this point. What was ever present through out life, and never changed or tainted by it? When a movie is playing on a screen, is the screen affected by the content of the movie? When a car blows up in the movie, does the screen blow up as well?
