Inception

I know of SD stage green communities like ecovillages, but are there any SD stage yellow or above organized communities, outside of actualized.org? I'm mainly thinking of physical communities, but feel free to share non-physical communities too. Also, questions for @Leo Gura: How come you live in an SD stage orange community (Las Vegas) with your stage of development outside of game? Have you considered moving to a physical community with a higher stage of development? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that you've considered starting your own physical community, is that still on the table?

Post #15: Intentions for an intentional community I'm tired of living in a SD orange society of sleepwalking bots running on auto-pilot, so I will be seeking out an SD green intentional community like an ecovillage to live in, where people are at least a bit more conscious. I want to make this happen in about a year.

Hi, this is gonna be the place where I: Journal Write poems Think out loud Personally I like twisting and turning my mind inside out. My profile is based off of the movie “Inception” by Christopher Nolan, which I highly recommend. And the same goes for his work general. You’re welcome to comment when relevant.

It certainly can be at least. If there something I've realized it's that life is an inner journey not an outer one, but the "outer" journey can certainly aid in the inner journey.

By being active on this forum (among other things) I've made more progress in the past week than I've made than in the past months. I never knew that the forum could be this potent. I kept getting very profund insights spontaneously. But I feel like I flew too close to the sun though, as I could feel myself and my reality getting gradually more unhinged, because my life was changing too much (for the better) too fast. In a sense I kind of knew that amount of progress would be unsustainable, but I just kept riding the wave. I don't really regret it, because it absolutely felt right at the time. The end result of this was that last night between the 13th and 14th while I was about to fall asleep I had what I would call "glimpses of insanity". All I remember while being in these states of consciousness is that I understood something that I really didn't want to understand. Like I perceived "it" for what "it" really was. I had no idea what it was that I understood, all I know is that I did and that i didn't want to. It wasn't something visual (although my visual field was kinda blurry), it was existential. Like a direct transmission of pure, raw and uncensored understanding. I was no longer my self, i.e. my state of being changed. It was truly horrifying and I remember begging and pleading to return to the comfort of ignorance. This happened multiple times with each glimpse lasting for less than a minute, but feeling more like 5 minutes. Looking back I've had these glimpses before, but much less in intensity and only while semi-sleeping so they weren't as obvious and easier to forget. I also remember thinking about illogical thinks as though they made perfect sense. In the "State Of Consciousness Is Everything" episode, Leo pointed out that we're assuming that we can do this work while maintaining our sanity (sense of reality), and thereby implying that it's not (necessarily) the case. Now I get what he means. The illusory nature of what I call reality is becoming increasingly and painfully obvious. If I don't watch out, someday something will hit me so deep that I will no longer just intellectually, but instead fully and viserally realize that it's all an illusion, i.e. wake up. Right now the illusion still seems like reality at heart. What we call sanity is actually a pretty fragile when you think about it, now I get why we have all the deception going; It's to keep the tightly walled garden that is our reality from dissolving. I really take my hat off to Leo; How he's still able to remain sane with his level of understanding is beyond me. I'm even surprised how (most of) the long-time followers are still sane. Anyways, the main takeaway from this experience is that I need to chill for a moment, and take my foot off the accelerator. So I will be going back to logging in max. once at the end of each day when I've taken care of my survival concerns. Also I'll try to stay closer to the ground so to speak, both with with the kind of topics I'll be discussing and how I'll be discussing them, i.e. I'll be spending less time in spiritual section... I've been contemplating psychedelics for a while now, but now I'm convinced that they're off the table for me for at least the foreseeable future. They also don't seem necessary as I'm able to trip plenty without them. I've spend most of the day grounding by going for some walks and doing practical stuff like cleaning, and I'm already feeling much better, grounded and stable. I've also made an effort not to enter the forum until now (24 hours), but I'll admit it was hard not to, which just goes to show you how addicted I've gotten recently. Take care everyone, and cherish your sanity while you still have it. Insanity is no joke, i.e. it's real! “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” - H. P. Lovecraft

Not sure if this was an opening of the third eye, though. There weren't really any visual effects associated with the experience, it was more like a change in state of consciousness. What the difference between the three scenarios?

@Bazooka Jesus LMFAO! That's most people on this forum, including me That was comically yet oddly beautifully put, lol.

There 's no location, so you're no-where, kinda freaky when you think about it: "Wherever you 'go' there you are". Yet it's absolutely inevitable.

Post #14: Awakening You don't awaken, you're awoken from. Nobody wakes up. Somebody is the dream.

Thanks! I guess when I've severed my purpose and I'm no longer needed, i. e. when Truth is realized.

Does your records have any effect of what you can and can't do in society? One of my worst fears is that I'll be declared clinically insane and then they'll use that as an excuse to discredit me. Yeah, they act as an agent to keep you in their consensus reality, which I guess is why mystics venture to the mountains where they can go deep into inner space and maybe never come back.

Cheers bro, I appreciate it! It's better to honest even about your dishonesty. Sometimes I'll admit that I won't admit something, but notice by doing that I'm already half admitting it, as opposed to denying that you're denying something. Honesty is the first step. Yeah divine protection, it's basically like plot armor. The way I look at it is that I'm protected for as long as I'm needed to serve the Higher Purpose of the Universe (evolution of consciousness), i.e. I'm not just protected for the sake of it. Which explains why I'm still alive after all the stupid things I've done, it's a miracle really. Also I'm not gonna test my luck, there's a limit like you say. I live my life as though I'm not protected though. "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you" - Saint Augustine

Interesting insight and good analogy. Have you lost your mind before? Also how can you be sure to "find" your mind again, is that even guaranteed?

Sounds like you've seen some stuff. What happens when you get there? Wow, sounds like selfishness is way more profound that just not wanting to share. I've noticed that a lot of (if not all) life's aspects have way deeper metaphysical dimensions, of which their superficial dimensions are only a caricatural reflection. Yes I'm sure... that I don't want to! I'll admit it; I don't actually want to know the Truth, at least not yet. I have smaller relative illusions that I want to unravel before, which will actually improve my life as appose to destroy it, like limiting beliefs etc. I have so much to do in this "reality" before I'll even consider transcending it. This is actually a huge revelation for me. Could you elaborate on this, blacked out when? Glad you could take on my perspective

Maybe not monkey mind, but unless she's enlightened I doubt she's free from the egoic drama.

The guy I talked with you about on the other thread you made about multiple orgasms.

Let say I wish that it'll rain tomorrow because I want my crops to grow, but you wish for it not to rain because you want to go hiking. Who will "win"? That's true. So are you saying that only I can manifest, because there's no others who could?

Have you've been listening to Jonathan like I told you, sure sounds like it, lol. The rabbit hole goes deeper though. Never though of it like that, but yeah I'd agree. They can literally sense your energy intuitively, like the whole vibe or state thing is a literal phenomena that could be measured. We could probably perceive it directly if we developed our third eye enough.

Not sure if that's what you're implying, but Pointlessness and Emptiness aren't bad. They're identical to Goodness for one, and they're necessary for Freedom. You couldn't be free if the universe that had a point, because you'd be limited precisely by that point. You wouldn't want to live in a universe that had a point even if you could. Also the version of solipsism I subscribe to doesn't postulate that you're the only mind, but merely that you're mind is the only mind you can be sure of to exist. Whether or not other minds exists is an open and unanswerable question IMO, see the "New Kind Of Awakening: Infinity Of Gods" episode. My bet is that there doesn't, because what would separate them? Doesn't mean I think there's something behinds peoples eyes though, I don't. They're part of my mind. I don't think you have to choose. You can have your cake and eat it too. I know it's all a game, but I still enjoy it. In fact I enjoy it infinitely more that I ever could if it wasn't. Sure you have to give up your illusions, but you're more than compensated for it. Or to put it more accurately; The disillusionment is itself the reward, i.e. truth is it's own reward. I know it can seem like be a bitter pill to swallow, but just give it a couple of years of reajustment and you'll be good.

Last time I got mildly druk I closed my eyes and had a semi-mystical state in the form of a constant feeling of falling, kinda like when you're about to fall asleep. Perhaps I was right at doorway to having an actual mystical experience like @Razard86 ? But I wouldn't recommend it for obvious, and not so obvious, reasons. I rarely drink, but I still want to quit, and this time for good...

Thanks for your reply. I guess by weirder you mean you how potent and pregnant with truth it is. But i get what you're saying, I could see how it'd look weird from the normie perspective. These days I just take it for granted that I have a deep holistic understanding of reality, which only 0.001% precent of the population have. I just don't like to get overly technical, convoluted and clinical with my teachings. I want them to be general, simple and poetic. Guess that won't resonate with a lot of people, but oh well. They'll probably get something from it, and the rest of you will vibe with it.

Post #13: Best sex of my life I just had the best sex of my life, and it was with and by myself. I'm getting to a point where I enjoy my own company more than the company of others. I understand myself, I don't judge myself, I appreciate how beautiful, strong and wise (just generally awesome) I am, I don't pretend and expect myself to pretend to be separate, I can truly be myself around myself, and I know exactly what turns me on (this is not affirmations, I mean it literarily). "If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." - Jean-Paul Sartre

Thanks! I appreciate you appreciating my post. Great minds think alike

Lmao yeah, but not the kinda sleep he'd want @Princess Arabia.

Socialize with the avearge human about mundane stuff like: Who won the game last night? What kind of lawnmowers are on sale? What font should you should use on your invitation? The more minute, practical and dry the better. Do this and you'll fall back asleep in no time.
