Im not shure what you mean with „aloot“.. but I think I understand what you mean… its about knowing thyself and be rooted in thyself… the striving is…everything I do, I do not because of programming and conditioning but because it is coming from my truth

Thanks for your answer. I think I talked to people who do authentic game and that is why i stopped walking around with the intention of picking up and am trying to just be open, without expectations and am more sincere and im trying with that. The problem I faced was that pickup gave like a frame whitch kinda made everything more easy( im someone who can make a systematic goal , for example today I approach 10 girls, and follow trought it. Now life is more complicatet and dynamic…more voulnerability and authenticity makes it more difficult because the rejection and everything else is much more personal and I just dont have the balls to ask someone I have a sincere connection with out or to own my desires…At the moment im working with somatic experience, to be more in touch with myself and act out from that place and am meditating more so my actions can be more independetn of my toughts and feelings… im also trying to be very honest in my friendships(practise with them) and gave up a comfortable sales job because I want to go away from performance based stuff. Im going regulary to meditations retreats, want to do regular Circling meetings, I do dancing and have a always clearer life purpose… so what do you mean with I should work on more? I would love to have some inputs on that:))

So you mean I should just see where it goes and just contuine with my life, trying to work on voulnerability, authenticity and honesty.. instead on focusing on approaching again? Because at the moment the struggle is kinda not being really shure what I want and not taking the chances that are given to me… I

Where warcriminals reenacting their crimes. very powerful, it reaches even a point where one of the perpetrator starts to reflect and question his behavior. a victim of this war crimes confronts the "criminals" with their crimes. "It's like Nazi-germany would have won and the perpetrators who are still on power today would be confronted by the stuff they did in the second world war". two very insightful documentaries. the war crimes happen in the context of the military regime in Indonesia who seizes power around 1966 and where they kill in a timeframe of 2 year 1 million people. If you say you love humans/humanity. Watch these 2 movies as an invitation to see if you can even accept and love this part of the human experience. It will give your love more depth.

Hey. Im registered for going to an enligtement intensive retreat. Im pretty scared, mainly because I imagine that every experience I had, every shameful thing I did , every fantacy, every neurotic tought and just everything else I dont want to be exposed haha and im not shure if Im ready for this. What is your experience with enlightenment intensives? And how do you deal with that fear? Is it justified?

Thanks for your inputs! I understand that its about the contemplation but isnt the excercise also that you should talk about everything that comes up, no matter what? And isnt everything that comes up not also a layer you need to peel before you can go further?

I honestly dont care that much if I have an enlightement experience or not. I was at the Nomind festival and there we had a workshop about enlightenment intensive and someone told me that a retreat is like 5 years of going to a psychologist and considering the method, it makes a lot of sense to me. Im more interested in that aspect. But yeah, it will probably be different than I imagine

No

6 days, with 3 days of dyads. I heard some peiple say it is the worst and the best thing they ever did. So it will probably be pretty hard

Thanks for this answer!

Hello My name is Elias, and I can honestly say that Erik’s coaching was a great boost for my growth. I approached him in December and worked some months with him. My main goals were coming nearer to my vision, more authenticity and overcoming limitations in different areas of life. Working with Erik felt enjoyable and safe. In the coaching sessions I became aware of blockades, limitations, new perspectives, and new possibilities in regard to how to approach things. With Erik’s support, I discovered and actualized a part of my potential that before was more difficult to access or hidden. When I compare myself with Elias from December, I can say I’m more centered, more aware of myself, I’m clearer with what I want out of life, I trust myself more, I’m more disciplined, I’m much more aware that I literally can do what I want because I’m good enough NOW, I’m executing more, my social relationships bettered, and I’m in general more confident that before in social circumstances and life in general. My work in all these areas of course is not finished, but after the coaching I’m nearer and more in alignment to my goals than before the coaching! I also have a wider tool kit of techniques, an updated mindset and ways of approaching things that I still use after the coaching. I’m happy that I took the coaching and would do it again! PS: if you’re interested: my final talk with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQjD-N8qeoI

Do you know good meditation retreat places in europe? (beside the goenka retreat)

Hello I want to do a vipassana retreat in my vacations but i didnt found a 10 day goenka retreat in europe (for my timeframe) but i found the dhammacari vipassana-meditation centre in germany. this retreat goes 15 days (only for beginners) and is harder than the goeanka. my question. the technique here is not the body scanning, but the Mahasi noting. -> Has someone experience with this and would you recommend it? -also a question is. it is my first time and is 15 days mabey too much for the first time? i meditate daily 30 min

thanks , defenetly gonna check them out! , no, i first want to know more or less what it is, what i want to take out of coaching.

hello do you think it is a good idea to have 2 coaches, and see each one every two weeks? or is it better to have only one? i am thinking about getting 2 for having more than one perspective.

okay, thanks for the inputs

hello 1 today I was contemplating about my 5g shrroms trip from last year and I had an experience where while I was looking at my room (around the peak) suddenly I was for like 2 seconds the room, only the room. There was only the thing I was looking at, the experience. And it also felt like I was the room forever at that moment. I tought it was mabey a ego death but now im thinking that it could be an experience of oneness. The fear grow in this trip after this experience of being my room. -> How would you lable the experience? 2 also an experience whitch I had and I also can't it really lable : I became really happy and euphoric and couldnt understand how I could have had fear at the beginning of the trip, I knew that there was no reason for fear. I felt extremely thankful for my family and for my life. This joy became more and more intense and it felt like my selfdeceptions where falling quickly one after another and I became more and more joyful and happy and thankful. I felt if I understood everything and it seemed so obvious and I knew it wouldnt last forever but I also felt so silly that I wouldnt be like that forever. The universe seemed like an organic machine and dimensions seemed like they are side by side. It was joy beyond what I had ever felt. (this was like 1-2 hours after I took shrooms and lastet like 1-2 hours) Im not really shure how to lable thiese experiences ( 1 and 2) because im only reading alongside about nonduality, ego-death, etc because my main focus at the moment is finding life purpose and psychology. Im not very familliar with the definition for these two mystical experiences and would appriecheate if someone understand these or who knows what the definiton of these are or could explain them. I want to understand these experience better.

this is so sad

okay thanks!

@flowboy sounds like an interesting approach to heal trauma and do shadow work. did you do it yourself with a book? and when yes, whitch one?

Hello I had last september and october 4 Trips, 1st. 2.3 g shrooms, 2nd. 100ug LSD, 3d. 0.8 g shrooms and 4th. 5 g Shroms. The last trip was very intense for me and like 60% of the time really existential frightening. In 2 days I want to take 100 ug of LSD with the intention to contemplate about what I want to do of my life aka life purpose and also by the way diminish this fear of psychedelics. The thing is, I feel fear with the thought of taking psychedelics again, a lot of this fear comes from the experience wirth the 5 g shrooms. My question now is, can you give me an advice for reducing this anxiety? And do you think that one should only take Psychedelica when one is really comfortable for it, or is it okay to have some awe/anxiety? greetings
