The definition of knowledge according to Oxford is: awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. This is interesting because as we know everything is awareness. There is nothing but awareness. So if knowledge is awareness gained by experience... then knowledge is just awareness interacting with itself. So when awareness interacts with itself it learns. But what is it learning? To Know is to connect. So knowledge is a connection. But what is that connection? That connection is a recognition, the recognition of itself. The same way J.K. Rowling knows Harry Potter as she continued to write her books she learned more about Harry Potter. God functions the same way. As it creates it learns more about itself through its creation and continues to know, or recognize itself. All enlightenment is, is the pursuit of knowing your self. There is nothing but God eternally becoming more and more aware of itself. God is the ultimate author of experience, it can create storylines so grand, so profound, so real, that God can even fool itself. There is no greater creation than reality, there is no greater story than the story that is your life. So profound, and yet so simple. Whatever God knows, is true. Because God is truth. So anyone we argue with...was never wrong, because truth can never be wrong. Any disagreement is just a story not aligning with another story. A knowledge that is being rejected. Its a denial, a refusal to know or recognize that which is being presented. "I know I'm right." Is how one feels the deeper their connection to their experience. "I might be wrong" is how one feels when doubt creeps in. The doubt creates experience that aligns with the doubt while also simultaneously creating that which is held to be true. Then a tug of war happens for attention in which either doubt or belief holds true. When doubt wins a new path opens up to a newly lived experience. This new experience is a paradigm shift for new knowledge of self. One of the deepest realizations you will eventually realize is you have always gotten what you wanted. Reality serves you, because your desire to know yourself is reflected back in every moment. The pursuit of knowledge is everyone's life, that is all life is. To recognize yourself in infinite ways, and to fall in love with your reflection. Your life is looking in the mirror and recognizing your reflection, that is knowledge, that is connection, that is love, that is you.

How did it influence your trip?

You can use the same argument for a dream. Does a dream exist to you? 1. I could make this post in your dream. 2. If would appear in your post in a dream. 3. You can answer that in a dream as well. I could prove it in a dream. You could close your eyes right now and imagine all of that. You have never experienced anything but you. The seat of your experience is within. Everything you touch taste is you. And the you, you are experiencing is all imaginary. The real you, is just awareness. I'm no more real than the smell of your breath in the mirror, or a fart. You are either seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, or tasting. That's your whole experience of life and it is totally within you. So if I made a product that took away your sense of feeling numbness, hearing, seeing, smelling, and tasting, what would you have? Just awareness. You are awareness that is the only thing you are. Everything outside of that is just an experience or sensation that comes and it goes. Death...is just the experience or sensation leaving. Now there is one sensation that you are.....which is love, an infinite orgasmic never ending love...but since you haven't had any deep mystical experiences you are currently blocked from experiencing that.

Drop me an inbox and I'll give you the names of the books and some stuff I found out. I'll even tell you how I discovered Spirituality mixes into all this. Its a big secret a lot of people don't know about, but at the same time intrinsically know. Its true of all of us but separated by fear.

That's projection. I am open to destroying your projection. 1. I was bullied from small and got into a fight in pretty much every grade from 1st grade all the way to college. 2. I was a passenger in 2 car accidents 2 were head on collisions, and I was the driver recently in my 3rd car accident while passed out. Before said car accident I experienced ego death and experienced shattering into pieces. The problem with people who have victim mindsets (you) is you start thinking that only you have problems. Wrong, everybody you meet has problems and has gone through something. While I empathize with your loss of control believing that you have no control is a defeatist mindset that will keep you a victim. The older you get this mindset will destroy your life and can lead to what is called learned helplessness where you teach yourself that you have no agency. I'm not saying you will, but many of the serial killers you see have this mindset. They demonize everything, become nihilistic, and start to attack everything they see. Grieve, scream, do whatever you have to get those negative emotions out. When you are done grieving dust yourself off, and remind yourself that you always have control, even when you think you don't. P.S. I also voluntarily committed myself to a psyche ward because I was afraid of visions I started getting after my car accident. You know how I got out? I recognized my control, and accepted the visions no matter how scary. The moment I did that....it became easy. I realized to gain control you have to surrender to what is. One day you will realize this....or suffer until you do.

Nice!!!

Everything is interconnected, this means everything is a relationship. When it comes to humans how we interact we are communicating through our words, thoughts, and actions what we desire whether its needs or wants. The art of managing relationships is mastering negotiations as that is the key to healthy relationships. Every relationship between humans is going to have conflict, if you know how to safely navigate each conflict you can get what you want and also give the other person what they want. The irony is, how negotiation actually works is counter-intuitive and it aligns with Spirituality but let's keep that outside of Spirituality for a moment. Check out this video where Chris Voss former FBI Negotiator gives you insight into how to resolve conflict with some of the most dangerous individuals out there. This will open your mind, and show you that at our core nature as humans we just want to be heard and understood, we just want to be loved. Watch and enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44h585o9mlI

You are still attached to your ego. A psychedelic will definitely reveal that you if you take it. An individual is a limitation. So they are not limiting themselves by getting rid of other, getting rid of other is expansion. You have just communicated your resistance that you don't exist. You don't exist, you are just a thought. Once the dream ends what you think you are ends with it. There is a reason I told you that you cannot conceptualize awakening. Once you experience it, you will understand...if you are brave enough.

When you are seeking it is because you do not like the way you are presently feeling and believe attaining something can alleviate the feeling. Some more experienced seekers have discovered that attainment cannot permanently alleviate the unwanted feelings so they seek temporary attainment as a sort of buttress against the onslaught of the overwhelming negative emotions they keep generating. Now the first issue is they are unaware that they are generating it so they are going the wrong way about it in trying to fix the problem. Like I mentioned earlier the more experienced seekers think differently. By this time they realize after enough experiences they are the ones generating these emotions but they cannot understand how they are doing it or if they do why they are powerless to stop it. I've said it before but your perception is filtered through your beliefs. Try this exercise if you are a guy. Stand in the mirror, look at yourself and say "Look at that handsome devil!" After you say that I want you to believe it. Put your attention on that belief, and then look at yourself in the mirror and look for PROOF that it is true. If you do it successfully you will find PROOF that you are handsome. Now do the opposite and you will find PROOF that you are not handsome. If you are a girl do the same but replace the word handsome with beautiful if you prefer. If you realize this power you have in perception you can train your beliefs to serve you. Here is a secret....the more sure of yourself you are....the more you can convince others to agree with you. A lot of people you meet are unsure of themselves and struggle to form their own opinion. If you are so sure your beliefs are true, you can convince other people of your own worldview. This is because people give away their power of belief to the beliefs of others who are more sure of their beliefs. This is exactly how someone can convince you that you are ugly, dumb, a loser, etc. Its no different than how a motivational speaker can convince you of the opposite. Instead of seeking the opinions of others, create your own opinion. Seekers are consumers, creators are enjoyers. Creators enjoy their creation, seekers consume the creation of others. If you can create your view of yourself to serve you, then you can enjoy the life of that character. You have allowed random sources in your life to develop your persona, and now you suffer the parts of that persona you don't like. If you don't like it change it. Well you might say what I don't like being short!! I can't change that!! You could, you can reframe being short as an advantage. For example, because I'm short I'm more down to earth, more grounded. You can always choose the beliefs that will serve your world view. The truth of life, is your entire life is just how you feel in the present moment. Everything else is just decoration. You can be rich and be miserable, you can have sex and be miserable, you can live in a mud hut and be happy. You see when you aren't seeking something, then you are enjoying. You can only truly be enjoying something when seeking stops. Now you confuse that with attaining what you were seeking with enjoyment. It is enjoyment but it is only temporary. Enjoyment can be permanent, once seeking stops. If you want to know true happiness, discover the cessation of seeking. Because as long as you are seeking, then you are not happy. Happiness is enjoyment. Also if you ever think the odds are stacked up against you: Check this video out. You will see how fortunate you are, its all in your mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P2nPI6CTlc Of course you could say...of course he was able to become a motivational speaker!! Who wouldn't listen to a guy who looks like him when it comes to overcoming obstacles!! Your mind can craft any story on why things are different for you. It can also do the opposite. Cheers!!

This is the best part of Leo's quote and what many men miss. Raw attraction is not very deep. The men who discover this can get a girl even if he isn't the tallest, richest, most popular etc. The key is to form a DEEP connection. There are tons of guys who can pull women off Raw Attraction, what the majority won't tell you is....they can't keep them. Those same guys also struggle pulling the women they REALLY want because those women are too mature to fall for a guy just because he can attract her. This type of woman has already had her lessons from an early age and wants more than just raw attraction, she wants depth and sadly those men aren't deep. They spent too much time learning how to attract her, they never figured out how to keep her. To gain a woman's heart you have to do what most men will never do. Most men cannot gain a woman's heart, they can gain her curiosity but eventually that runs cold. To gain a woman's heart, you have to give her yours, something most men aren't capable of doing. I don't mean letting her run over you by the way, I mean picking a woman that you desire and accepting her as she is. If you can do that, then she will return the favor. How long it will take...depends on the type of woman you picked. But the secret to life is if you can truly accept someone the way they are, they will do the same for you. I've tested this with friends, and my ex and it is true. Humans are just desperate gorillas trying to find a connection where they can just be themselves. Most people are too stiff and insecure judging themselves every single day and then assume others are doing the same. When someone realizes they can be themselves around you a shift changes. Through your actions they can eventually learn to be the same way. This is a long process and it won't be easy and I like it that way because you can't fake being this way. This is why reality is a mirror, escape your judgments about yourself and connect with someone and create a relationship without judgments. Pick wisely.

I don't even think you want a girlfriend, you like the idea of a girlfriend. Many guys I know who have lived their life in solitude when they actually get into a relationship they find out it isn't what they want. Most guys who haven't had a girlfriend and want one, chase that because they think it will fill the hole they have inside. I'm sure Leo is only telling you what he told you because he knows you need to find out for yourself that it won't. Relationships are a mirror, and nobody hits your insecurities more than your girlfriend lol. If you do get one, she will trigger the hell out of you if you haven't done any shadow work, and if she hasn't done any you will trigger her. Both of you will get so stuck in your perspective, and feeling victimized you won't be able to communicate well and the relationship will end. But hey its a learning experience so go for it!!! Or you could...I don't know...realize that every belief you have about yourself is a lie, and that you have created a character a persona to live your life and have become so comfortable in that persona that you think it is you. Like an actor who plays a role in a movie and cannot get out of character, that is what has happened to you. I can offer a couple of books that can give you the right perspective as far as how to look at the dating game, but like Leo said...experience will be king. But I got three books that I read out of thousands of hours of research that pretty much laid bare how women think and it gave me so much success I have no doubts anymore. If you are interested let me know.

I am trolling? Explain. Notice...nobody else has that interpretation. But I'm open to this perspective. In what way am I trolling? Also what assumptions am I making? How do you know you aren't making assumptions? How do you know right now this isn't projection? But again I'm open to this so please explain. Don't forget to use examples.

The Ego is your identification with being human and all your other beliefs surrounding that. When you experience you are not human but simply just awareness, then your ego has died. Also it will feel like annihilation because you are essentially ripped off said attachment and discover it was never you. Even if someone tells you, you are not your body you still experience yourself as a body. When ego death happens...you experience no body and are like...ohhh now I seeeeee. So yeah its a death of sort. Like death and then rebirth. For me my thoughts are not as loud anymore. I can barely HEAR my thoughts so it is easier to quiet my mind.

This man knows his stuff. Absolutely the American diet is chock full of things that overseas countries do not include. One such example is iodine which we pretty much put in like all of our food. So you will have different reactions to eating similar food overseas.

Right back at ya! ummmm how were you able to send little black hearts? - this is the best I can do lol.

There you go. Our beliefs, perspectives are what hold us back. Took me a couple years back to figure this out. Its why we can engage in self-sabotage. Whenever you try to act differently to what you believe there is going to be resistance. Your comfort zone is conformity to your beliefs. The ego is not just a survival mechanism, it also makes you a character that acts out a role. Its hard to break character, its truly a genius design when you think about it.

I've never met a lazy person in my life.... defeated? Sure. Depressed? Sure Hopeless? Sure Confused and Lost? Sure But Lazy? Nah I've never met them I've seen a guy not give a damn and barely move a muscle and as soon as something he desires appears a fire rises within, he stands at attention, eyes straight forward, a new life wells up and he nearly is bouncing up and down raring to go. When someone is lazy they are akin to a solider who has lost morale, the will is low, the desire evaporated, yet we mask this and call them lazy. Some of the hardest workers can fall out of their element and let themselves go if this state befalls them. They aren't lazy....they just don't care. Without care.....what is the point, and if there is no point....might as well lay down at least that is what resonates with the soul that has lost its way. So if you are raising a young one, they are not lazy, they simply do not care. The question shouldn't be why are they so lazy it should be why don't they care?

Wow....you shifted back and forth.....what did it feel like having your mind drop and becoming everything?

As long as you believe that, that will be your experience. You have a response-ability. That is your control, the response-ability. Outside of that, yeah you gave up the rest of your control to live as a human. But you can always control your response. That is the whole point of meditation, to learn to not resist what arises. When fear arises, you can choose how to respond to it. Or you can resist it and fight it. Not saying its easy, everyone has a different level of resistance. But control is possible that is what psychedelics teach, you gain control by releasing your desire for control. Counter-intuitive but that is how it works...and that is how life works...ALL of life.

My post speaks to all of that. Penetrate a woman's emotional cortex and you get her heart. (Women are more emotional than men because evolutionary it gives them the ability to connect with children who are every emotional. Women are able to connect with infants in a way that a man cannot naturally do usually. So there is evolution at play here. A man can use that to his advantage and connect to a woman emotionally in the same manner. In fact part of what a woman does in a man's life is teach him to relate to his feelings. He learns to communicate to the inner child inside. Penetrate her sexually and you get her body. I heard a guy say this and it resonated with me. He said "How a man fucks is how he fights." Evolutionary speaking women are attracted to physically imposing men who also exude raw aggression. This ensured the survival of her and her offspring on multiple levels not just from his protection but for her offspring also genetically gaining his genetics as well which increased their survival. Lead her in direction with the way you lead your life and you will have her trust and respect. If you picked a mature one you will have her for life. Evolutionarily speaking women evolved to be attracted to men who hold positions of influence or status. They are drawn to what women would call "the man with a plan." Everything from the village champion, to the rock star celebrity the man who has the approval of his peers stands out. This is also called preselection. Whatever you want to name it, it has roots in evolution. Everything else is just the daily drama of life. - Lastly the drama among us humans speaks for itself I do not believe I need to spell this one out lol.

Its a long story, but an interesting story. It all started at that university involving compelled speech on gendered speech. If you connect the dots with his personal beliefs and what transpired at the time and the current socio political climate of the west, it makes perfect sense actually.

Women aren't that complicated. Penetrate a woman's emotional cortex and you get her heart. Penetrate her sexually and you get her body. Lead her in direction with the way you lead your life and you will have her trust and respect. If you picked a mature one you will have her for life. Everything else is just the daily drama of life.

Seems to me you are a judge, you've had me on trial for a minute. May I be released?

Nice I'm glad you were able to contribute your perspective at such a crucial time. More people should follow your example and share their perspective with others. Some people are afraid but everybody's perspective has value and your story highlights just that.

Very likely, a lot of women struggle to maintain healthy iron levels, there is a thing called a period. https://www.healthline.com/health/headache/anemia-and-headaches#bottom-line
