Eckhart Tolle had what I would call a suffering awakening. He was deeply disgusted with his mind made suffering, that his "Self" devided from his "I". People experience this while attempting suicide. It seems that your ego doesn't just give room for awakening that easily.

In general interviews of any kind. In his videos Leo argues with imaginary others, who's arguments are sometimes so dumb and linear. It's really worth the effort to put a real human being in front of him. Although I can see that content suffers in an interview format.

To make things even worse cannabis has about 52 different neuroactive components, in which THC is just one of them. All of these components interact in a messy and uncontrollable way with every system of your psyche. So even if you "could" grow spiritually out of an experience with cannabis, you could never replicate the dosage. Not mentioning the fact that most people smoke cannabis, which makes it even harder to dose. These are my main reasons why it's impossible not to mess with weed, regardless how responsible you are.

I've reacted very sensitive to cannabis. Most in a bad and horrifying way. No insight or spiritual wisdom was gained in ~100 cannabis experiences. Have not consumed it since 4 years. Psychedelics are the exact opposite for me. It takes about three times the usual dosages to feel LSD or Shrooms. Never had a purely bad experience. Massive and long term life altering Insights had been gained. If your mind is clear and collected, psychedelics is meditation times X. Ask yourself how meditation compares to being stoned.

Rich Piana Good visualization of how the mind made ego will go every length to butcher body and health for mental "greatness". In case you wonder, he died of heart failure.

For me it was quite the opposite. Directly realizing that your existence is Love and Love only doesn't make you sit there in silence. It's pure ecstasy. Laughter, singing, dancing is the result when every questions is answered. Just my direct experience. I don't want to force anyone into believing that he/she must have this as well.

I get the point. The insight feels wise. However, to play devils advocate I want to know what Gods infinite creativity is doing when I crave the same cheap food or porn for years. But I sense my self-bias and mental corruption in this argument. Just contemplating...

Consider that this forum is not actually 90% focused on self-help and spirituality. So take political discussion with a grain of salt.

Have you achieved your position of work by just following your passion? Or have you, similar to most successful entrepreneurs, got to this position through many twists and turns? In how many jobs have you worked before? How often have you reconsidered your decision of wanting to become an entrepreneur? How much fulfillment does your self-employment bring to you? This are the main questions, which seem to come up, when deeply contemplating about life purpose. Maybe my ultimate calling finds itself in a rather ordinary bureau job. Or not. Who knows. Interested in your views.

@Asayake Wow, thanks for sharing your POV. Would you mind telling me what you do specifically?

I'm saying something even more profound. All duality, all finiteness is willing itself into existence in order for God to love even more aspects of itself. That's why everything IS love. Love is not a product of Gods will. Gods will IS Love and vice versa. It's the beginning and end of every form. I thought about this for weeks and have not understood this insight 1%. Massive increase in consciousness is the only way here. No mental fuckery will sufficiently reveal this truth.

Gods ultimate bias is Love. I never really understood this, but its the only thing to want if you can do everything and anything and nothing. You see there is absolutely no reason for you as God to play games and manifest in forms if not for the sake of even more Love. Thats what Life/God is really up to.

Holotropic breathwork / shamanic breathing. After 30-40 minutes of breathwork I can be in states of consciousness I only experienced on 200-500 mcg of LSD for some moments. I like that a lot, because 12 hours of tripping on LSD is really demanding.

There are men, who seem to be less affected from their sexual desires. Hard work and sharp focus seems to exclude sexual desires for me. Being bored and not thinking about sex is quite impossible though.

Session Seven: 37,5 minutes. Session felt a little bit longer than usual. Breath occasionally normalized as I seemed to forget about the breath work, when diving into thoughts. At last all thoughts vanished. Glimpse of "God structure" as I like to call it. More important was for me to see how all of reality sits inside this nothingness. Nothingness fulfills and surrounds reality. In that case my imagination of there being a room or a house got smaller and smaller. Nothingness/Spaciousness remained.

I want to ask something, which i feel like has never really been discussed here properly: How does the mechanism of becoming unconscious work? The problem here is that none of us have seen this mechanism, because seen or being aware of this mechanism requires consciousness. So how does God Create and See how it is Creating and then Create and not see how it is Creating. This question is the ultimate end boss for my ego mind.

Understanding fractals. How everything in the universe is a fractal of unity and infinite love.

Understanding is the ability to see how everything is a fractal of Oneness. More consciousness elevates this understanding.

If your consciousness really is, then show it.

If your consciousness is clear enough you will find out what "control" and "will" really is. There is no way you will get it through mental masturbation and discussion here. I sense you intuit the importance of such questions. Don't settle for an answer which does not infinitely satisfy you

I'm not sure if you got the implications of this contemplation. If you really care about truth you will contemplate about this for the next years and decades. Eventually you will find out that there is absolutely no ground to identity at all. That means you are literally nothing. Just formless consciousness. And if you are nothing in particular, you are everything. Just like a TV screen, which is not some specific movie, but every movie projected on it. That is meant with "You Are Everything" and therefor "You Are God".

@Karl-Heinz Mueller If your definition depends of controlling something, then ask yourself what you can control at all. Sooner or later you will recognize, that your ego mind cannot control anything. Your sense of self probably totally constructs itself from thoughts you have about yourself, like age, heritage, profession, habits, taste and so on. But can you control your thoughts for 60 minutes? Or 1 minute? Probably not even some seconds if you test it out So you are not the one who thinks, your are the one experiencing thinking. Just as you are the one experiencing your heart beating and so one. So the question of "Who are you?" cannot be answered with a "thing". Its the consciousness, that perceives things. But this cannot be labelled with a word. Don't just trust me. Do the work on yourself.

I want to see what you guys do on a daily basis to keep yourself on track to self-actualize. Also please add how well you can keep up with this routine or if it's just a routine you'd wish to do daily. Here's what I do the same every day. Wake up at 08:00 Drink at least one glass of water with magnesium 30 minutes morning meditation Breakfast (usually oats with different kinds of seeds and fruits, like bananas or apples) Gym: usually for about 45-90 minutes Cold shower afterwards Lunch Dinner 30 minutes evening meditation Drink at least one glass of water with magnesium Sleep Now I want to limit the mindless media consumption in between. Especially in the morning.

@Inliytened1 Can I ask you what kind of method/substance (I imagine you to) have lead you to this realization? Lets see what answer I imagine

Session Six: 30 minutes. Originally planned 40 minutes, but got interrupted by my mom, who needed the room for an online Yoga class. Hands and feet didn't cramp/furl as they would usually do. Subtle insights into the nature of thought. But nothing mind blowing. Just peaceful awareness afterwards.
