Do you think no post ever should be deleted? (not leading, and I don't have an opinion).

Why not?

I do not claim to be right, and this is my own bias, but just want to put it out there that from my perspective, OP started the passive-aggressiveness and mod rightfully deleted those posts.

I've been a victim to the blade against myself Bloodletting all of my soul Sucked in, paralyzed in this vortex Reduced to silence In the dark, I've lingered too long This sharpened axe, beam of light I reach for, and I master Wield against these shadows Its purpose now revealed in silence Keep searching, question if this light ends I lost my fears and the notion of time I healed my sorrow All boundaries are illusion When you reach the centre light and Reinforce the striking power By chance you're followed

It is the same as in a nigthly dream. It is Consciousness/Dreamer/God/Mind that is waking up to being itself rather than a character inside a dream. And you could say that it is happening inside Nothingness and no-one is doing that, and dream is just dreamed, but you could also say that Mind/Self is dreaming. In your nightly dreams you could also argue that it is just happening on itself, and there is noone having a dream but actually it is your Mind generating the dream, your SELF is generating the experience of no-one doing nothing. Nothingness is genereted by the Mind/SELF.

Tell him that out of billions of possible neurotransmitters in the brain he is hallucinating daily on serotonine, melatonine, adrenaline and others. So why would he assume that those substances give any more true picture than others.

Make first trip in a while pleasant. Prepare some music, good food and take half a dose and welcome a pschedelic in a way. Say hi to the substance.

God is perfectly fine being alone. But he wants to explore itself, and creating illusion of other is one of the best mechanisms to do that.

I actually agree. But problem with rituals and strong intentions is to convince your subconscious as much as possible, and going to a jungle with shaman and vomiting is quite a scene for the subcosncious I believe. And some people will never be able to create such a strong intention within the calm of their house.

What if the additional "impure" chemicals coupled with strong intention of the shaman that you allow, creates some kind of mechanism of binding trauma and emotions to vomit which you then discard from yourself. Intention and rituals are powerful tools, I think you are a little bit too reductionistic here.

Oh okay, sorry. But in this post I can't find a contrargument to this, other than you watched a lot of him which I don't see how it is relevant.

If you want to reference other thread I am not sure why you created new thread instead of continuing there.

What if that is actually true? As far as I know Leo is conscious of that and that is by design. What you see here as a negative trait many people (me included) see as positive trait.

There was quite a lot of talk about it lately on the forum, because Leo suggested that weed is the strongest substance for him, and it seems that for many people that is the case too. So yes, weed is for sure a psychedelic.

I would recommend running or some muscle exercises. Very grounding. If you like rituals you could really focus on eating food. Absorb the stable energy it gives. Contemplate the element of earth when eating or lying down. How stable it is. Find earth within you. The deep peace of mountains. Also maybe a controversial advice but I know for some people smoking some tobacco can be grounding. Also remember that you can stop your rituals. You can regroup, balance, rest, let yourself be sunk into daily human bullshit again a little bit lovingly, and when you are ready you will come back stronger. All will be well.

Dude, @Breakingthewall wrote that, spreading misinformation!

Very well put.

It is just your personal taste. I prefer this.

Lack of death is cancer. Literally. It would be hell if death did not exist.

You can diminish the agresiveness but using direct "you" is great in my opinion. Makes it much less intelectual and actually forces you to look inside.

It is just your ego reacting to the loneliness. Whenever I get into this crazy high states of consciousness I find deep peace in being alone so it is still your trauma not liking having no others.

I would say so. LSD trips show me much of that I think. It is like by becoming more conscioussness itself more and more on a trip you automatically understand yourself and therefore everything (because consciousness = everything) I think it is this deep intuitive type of understanding that does not necessarily have anything with ability to put that into words. Just like in a nightly dream, if you become lucid you have Hugely more capacity for understanding the mechanism of the dream.

There will be DLCs maybe.

Will the course od your life change now? Does it influence the choice of your career for example knowing you won't ever die?

Or: avoiding the recognition that Consciousness is Self, and avoiding Selfhood is activity of ego trapped in no-self paradigm that rejects direct experience of Self. (I respect your view, and I believe we actually pointing to the same thing. Just offering perspective to others if they prefer it.)
