Meditate in stressful situations. Do pickup or public speaking and keep awareness of your body. Effective results in weeks. The problem, you probably don't want the hard, effective method

Oh did not know that. In that case it's two screenshots from his Instagram page.

Understanding is my highest value. Understanding a situation or person is deeply satisfying. Especially if it is hard and complex. Emotions like hate, ignorance, fear, envy are all product "not understanding/ not appreciating". Understanding is the gate way to love. This is typical stage orange thinking, to classify someones stage and feel superior. I have to be careful about that. Such as motive would be too ignorant. Exactly. If living in truth means to dumb all the models and maps, fine. But somehow people figured it out, how to assess someone values and worldviews. This "somehow" interests me. It interests me, because of this mysterious motivation to understand. No hidden agenda.

Coke and Pepsi have already been declared poisoning 50 years ago. The question is how consciously people can see the connection between consumption and illness. Unconsciousness can conserve you in horrible habits for decades, if you never find out how they actually harm you in direct and indirect ways. Only direct, personal experience of suffering connected to the habit can bring forth a change. However, ending the habit is also suffering. The question is, what suffering weighs more.

Important distinction. On the absolute your/my/our perfect description is infinity. Interesting to see how infinite identity breaks down into concepts like @TheAlchemist In my case it would be: Addicted to beauty and meaning

@Matt23 Thats sounds doable. My "secret" agenda of this thread is it to find ways, how to interview people, without "interviewing" them. I want to know someones ego development, without making them feel like a lab rat. Sentence completions are probably not really "real life" like. But there are ways to questions someones believe in a similar fashion.

@kray Yes. I had super productive sessions with meals like 2-3 hours before.

@lizz_luna There is lots of masculinity already in you. No need to enforce it. It's rather a question of how good can you let go of your feminine identity. Becoming more conscious of my inner nature, let me, as a man, be more open to my feminine side. I think this works for females as well.

Psychedelics are far superior to any other form of work, if you want to have insights into the nature of yourself and reality. It's a peak experience. So keep up with the normal consciousness work to integrate the insights.

It's quite difficult to think about this questions objectively, since we are all surrounded by partners and people searching for "the one partner". But what, apart from the obvious "kids making process" puts 1o1 relationships on this towering pedestal? For me there is literally zero reason, why a female or male should restrict its intimacy to just one other human being. Is a mother only capably of loving just one child? Here are some "social matrix" answers I get, when I ask this question (followed by my objection) "Its just nice to have someone to talk, when you come home from a stressful day..." Aha, and why can't I work on ALL my relationships to be that trustful and authentic? Why this restriction? Why do you think only this specific human being called "partner" is worthy to relate to? "She/he will understand you more than anyone else..." Bullshit. Self-understanding and self-love cannot be delegated to anyone else. This can only happen trough deep inquiry and still observation of ones nature. Especially if the partner herself/himself is not deep in the process of self-understanding, which literally no-one is. I'm sure this forum will provide more answers in a similar fashion. I strongly believe this conditioned "the one partner"- mindset is created, because most experienced this scenario their entire youth with their parents. But just because it has always been like this, doesn't mean it's useful or natural.

Excuse my western logical brain here, but: There is this popular advice that living in the "territory" or direct experience is more important than living in the "maps" or mental experience. At least if you want to live in truth and love. I totally agree with that. In fact you can verify this by yourself, if you sit in still presence right now. Reality seems more peaceful and loving that way. On the other hand, living in your thoughts and mental constructs causes the exact opposite. Doubt and dissatisfaction may arise. But according to my own experience and Leo's teachings, thoughts and direct experience are sourced by the same consciousness. So how can there be this stark difference of Love when you switch between map and territory. After all non-duality means there is no difference between map and territory.

Thats super paradoxical. God only has one substance to create. Itself. Consciousness. Love. And right now this love is accessible through awareness (for example) of my right hand. But if I attach thought (also part of infinite Love) to this hand, reality feels like shit. This stuff should be illegal.

Why can't I experience flatness without thinking? Maybe you mean perfect flatness, roundness, lines ect. True they cannot be experienced. It's only the mind "claiming" to experience such a thing. The only perfectness is infinity itself, but thats another topic. Also: Time and causality cannot be experienced directly. It's pure mind made illusion. So I insist that you give me an example of something, that can be experienced, like my left thumb, which has to have an "a priori" map, in order to be experienced.

Can you give me an example of such an "a priori" map?

No. A trained meditator can observe his environment without any knowledge or interpretation of what he is experiencing. You can live fully in the territory, without any maps what's so ever. Every new born lives like that. Making maps is a sub-function of consciousness.

That's the paradox in it. So logically we can frame the advice the other way around. "Live more in the maps, than in the territory - they are the same". But if that was true everyone would dwell in truth and love. You see my dilemma here?

Holistic fitness.

Your body should be prepared for a workout. Drinking water is absolutely okay, and even necessary for your throat. My best experiences were always in the evening.

The example of psychedelics shows perfectly the profound intelligence how God operates his Love into existence: So God can't just reveal it's true nature with some cheap "5 minute meditation app", but he also can't deny it's realization entirely. So it chooses it's realization through substances, which cannot be obtained so easily, but are also not impossible to get. After that, it installs a social paradigm in which all experiences, which come from these substances are "hallucinations", and therefor not "real". Furthermore, the paradigm says, that people arguing about the illusory (hallucinating) nature of everyday reality have just lost their mind due to psychedelics Perfect logic chain, to never run out of rationalization why you are NOT God, even if you have awoken to it. But in the moment of re-awakening, you get rewarded with the realization of your infinite intelligence. Thats why this part of consciousness called "psychedelics" are the most intelligent solution to this dilemma.

It's exciting to think about the moment, when you realize, how you as God imagine clouds into existence

Everyone got roasted. This stuff is probably super funny, if you understand all the references.

Fruits, nuts, cold tea.

The YouTube Channel "PictureFit" does super compact and informative videos about everything related to muscle growth, general fitness and nutrition. His rule of thumb is, that you need to do approximately 1/3 volume of your muscle growth training routine, to remain muscle size. Less volume means, less weight, less repetitions or less training duration. No training at all will downsize significantly you after 6-10 weeks or so.

@Jannes I wonder why most "dramatic trips" are connected to mushrooms or truffles. They seem to be quite wild and unpredictable. I've also rarely hear that someone reached God consciousness and awakening with them. I suggest that you work your way up to breakthrough dosages with LSD. Also do a lot of sober consciousness work like breathwork or meditation. You have to be 100% serious about it. Psychedelics are not your casual trip to goodness. You have to work for awakening.

The title even said "April fools" at some point
