It would be a great experience too. I do hope Leo finds a way to make a psychedelic retreat happen.

Feel free to send me a PM through the forum

The most famous platform is https://retreat.guru/ Although most of them are quite ritualistic or stage green, so search a bit more for the gold. I also work as a psychedelic facilitator and been conducting sessions and retreats for some years now. If you like Leo's style you may resonate with me.

They're always a blessing for me at least, tears roll over my eyes. I did have one spooky experience while spontaneously Awakening in a train ride, it was so heavy the consciousness state I forgot where I was going, I forgot from where I came, the train was floating inside infinite consciousness and was creating reality as it rolled. It was like a rollercoaster Awakening. It was a crazy defabrication of Reality. Most of the time Awakenings are quite convenient, even in seemingly strange circumstances, you're able to see Reality from new angles and states. You can try to pin down such explanations, but many times explanations are infinite, you'll see trends, or diverse triggers, but as a piece of advice, don't try to decipher too much spontaneous Awakenings because you'll kinda kill them, and don't try to hold them too much when they happen either, welcome them and love them fully, then let them go as well, like a sweet breeze.

They'll do it better based on his work and his example will inspire new generations.

Yes, they are very real and imo pure spontaneous Awakenings are one of the best types, I get them once in a while, the problem is that they are not triggeable, it's like a sudden acausal flash of Consciousness and grace. In the same way that inspiration guides the creative spirit of the artist, sudden Awakenings bless the consciousness of the Mystic.

I deleted my Instagram some weeks ago, I don't have the self-control enough to use it and end up wasting very precious time of my life. After months or years, I feel the genuine inspiration to go back, post some things and check on friends, till I get sick of it again and delete it, this is the cycle I'm currently in and it has worked so far. I'd love to be able to use Instagram in a more productive and conscious way, but I haven't been able so far and I don't want to wrestle with myself everyday to take the right choice and hence I design my online environment to make it easier for me.

@LordFall You make good arguments but be careful with overreaching assumptions, talk more generally and those points may apply generally speaking. Otherwise you generate unnecessary pushback. @PsychedelicEagle Don't take it too personally, imo the user didn't cross a red line for moderators to step in. If you desire to no longer interact with another person in the forum, there is an option in your account called "Ignored Users" and you shall not see their posts anymore. This is a right we all have.

@Jordan of the Shire You have the right attitude and approach, I'm sure great things are coming on your way.

Very underrated video

They are deeply complementary while being autonomous axis.

The thing is that sometimes we believe that changing a big system is almost impossible, but once in a while a great leader appears and does it and even quite quickly; which leads me to think how mediocre most leadership is. A great leader can totally transform your country in just 4 years. This is very eye opening.

Yes, in that case you would achieve high spiritual experience with low spiritual intelligence and probably also low ego development. This has been the case for all religion traditions till now, which is why there are so many absurd myths and religious crusades. You had very spiritually accomplished monks that went to religious wars because their mind, epistemology and egoic development was very crude. Although in the forum a more common trap is high spiritual intelligence with low to medium spiritual experiences. One leads to delusion and the other to insight and truth. The quality of your mind and life is also very dependent, to a certain degree, to your epistemology. It's true that after a certain threshold, unless you love philosophy, there's no much point on reinvesting skill points in that area in the detriment of others, therefore reprioritizing on what yields greater holism and a balanced fulfilling life.

Lately I've come to appreciate the power of great leadership and the transformation impact that can have in countries, companies and society at large. Two striking examples are Nayib Bukele in El Salvador and Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore. Bukele inherited a country called the murder capital of the world. His government’s aggressively cracked down on gangs and organised crime, despite receiving enormous global pushback by human rights movement, it has successfully transformed public safety to the point that now the US considers it safer than Sweden. The investment on education has also been heavy, with the program 2 schools everyday being built, over 900 schools have already been delivered since the start of the initiative last year. The last polls state that 94% of the country supports him, a record almost unheard of in democratic societies. Decades earlier, Lee Kuan Yew led Singapore from a small, poor and forced to be independent state into one of the world's most prosperous and developed economies. His vision was built around long-term thinking, strong institutions, economic pragmatism, education, infrastructure, and an uncompromising focus on national development; creating a successful style of government called state-guided capitalism. Ultimately, the difference between a stagnant society and a thriving one may sometimes come down to the quality of their leaders and whether they are capable of thinking beyond the next election, have a compelling vision and deliver tangible results.
